The person responsible for filling out the list for Class D should have originally been Hirata Yousuke, but since Hirata was also recovering from an injury, this important task was handed over to Horikita to execute on his behalf.
At this moment, Horikita was frowning, because such a task should, by rights, be filled out by Amane. However, ever since Class C's ambush on the camp last time, Amane had gone missing.
Even the key card was gone.
No matter how she questioned Ayanokoji, Ayanokoji's reply was always "I'm not quite sure."
Even after the exam had ended, Amane had not returned to Class D, which made Horikita feel a slight unease when facing a major decision.
However, urged by Chabashira-sensei, she could only bite the bullet and fill out the list.
First, for Class C, Albert's identity should be confirmed. After all, Albert was the only Class C member left on the island. Anyone with a sound mind could guess that Albert was the last person with a special identity in Class C.
So, Horikita wrote Albert's name in both the key card holder and infiltrator columns for Class C.
After doing all this, she somewhat unnaturally glanced at Ayanokoji beside her.
Ayanokoji, however, did not speak, merely quietly waiting for her to continue filling it out.
When it came to the Class B column, Horikita hesitated again. Although he and Shibata had a cooperative relationship, both sides tacitly avoided mentioning the specific situations of their respective classes.
Later, all of Class D's actions against Class B were handled by Amane alone. Now that Amane had lost contact, it would not be an exaggeration to describe Horikita's knowledge of Class B's situation as completely in the dark.
Seeing Horikita hesitate to write, Ayanokoji asked,
"What's wrong?"
"Class B, we don't have much information on Class B right now, so maybe we just shouldn't fill it in... Ayanokoji, what are you doing?"
Horikita watched in surprise as Ayanokoji took the clipboard and wrote Kanzaki Ryuji as the key card holder and Ichinose Honami as the infiltrator in the two Class B columns, respectively.
After writing, Ayanokoji silently handed the clipboard to Horikita.
"Why are you so confident? Did Amane tell you?"
Horikita couldn't understand how Ayanokoji had determined who the key card holder and infiltrator of Class B were.
"Intuition."
Ayanokoji's answer was unacceptable to Horikita.
"That's absurd! Are you going to use intuition in such an important situation as an exam?"
Facing Horikita's question, Ayanokoji nodded.
"That's right. We've already used up our exam points, so even if we guess wrong, there's no penalty. If anything, we might just earn fewer points. So why not take a gamble? If you're not even willing to take a chance with a fifty percent win rate, Horikita-san, aren't you being a bit too cautious?"
Ayanokoji's words were indeed very reasonable, but Horikita found them uncomfortable to hear. After thinking for a moment, she realized she couldn't come up with a better answer than Ayanokoji's. Even if she could, it would simply be swapping Ichinose and Kanzaki's names, but in that case...
The odds would still be fifty percent.
It could be said that there was no fundamental difference from Ayanokoji's actions.
Horikita, realizing this, said no more and tacitly approved Ayanokoji's actions. When it came to Class A, a smile finally appeared on Horikita's face. Amane had told her that Totsuka Yahiko was the key card holder and Katsuragi Kohei was the infiltrator.
Since Amane had told her this, it meant Amane was almost certain.
However, just as Horikita was about to fill in the names, Ayanokoji reached out and blocked the writing area.
"Ayanokoji, what are you doing this time? I'm following Amane's arrangement this time. Amane might have already obtained conclusive evidence..."
"I understand what you mean, because I was there at the time and personally saw the key card with Totsuka Yahiko's name on it."
Ayanokoji's voice was a little low.
