After Sakayanagi correctly guessed the special testers of nine groups in a row, many students from the other three classes besides Class A felt grateful towards Kamio Tatsuya.
After all, if he hadn't pushed for Result One beforehand, Classes B, C, and D would have already lost 150 class points.
Thinking about failing the test, they probably wouldn't even be able to have fun for the remaining four days.
Unlike now, where they not only didn't lose class points but also got a large sum of personal points each.
As for Class A, although they didn't get 450 class points, they showed their strength to the other classes, greatly boosting the students' confidence.
Moreover, most of the students in Class A were very grateful to Sakayanagi, because in their opinion, Sakayanagi could have refused that deal.
If that were the case, Class A could have won big in this test.
But Sakayanagi gave up this option for their sake, and instead agreed to Kamio Tatsuya's proposal to have everyone go for Result One.
Kamio Tatsuya thought that the average students in Class A must be about to cry from感动 (moved feelings).
I feel like this tactic is familiar...
And the reason Ryuen came up with this game, Sakayanagi...could it be that you told him to? Did you two make some kind of deal?
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
Otherwise, there's no way Ryuen would have come up with such a plan just because he was bored.
Maybe he also wanted to test Sakayanagi's abilities, since he had already figured out Katsuragi's level, but Sakayanagi hasn't made a move yet.
As expected, none of them are easy to deal with.
In the first year, it seems like only Ichinose is a truly innocent bunny.
Oh, I'm wrong, a big white bunny.
Just as Kamio Tatsuya was getting lost in his thoughts, someone in the room got up from their seat.
"Hey, are you Karuizawa? I have something I want to ask you."
The person who started talking to Karuizawa was called Manabe Shiho. Even though it was summer, she was still wearing a beige vest over her short-sleeved school uniform.
Isn't she hot?
But her name is kind of interesting, Manabe Shiho, treasure of the nation...
Isn't that even funnier than my name?
Hahahaha!
Thinking about this, Kamio Tatsuya couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't stop himself.
Kamio Tatsuya's sudden burst of laughter made the members of the rabbit group focus their attention on him.
"What are you laughing at?"
Manabe Shiho looked at Kamio Tatsuya with a frown.
"Sorry, I just thought of something funny. What, am I not allowed to? But if it's bothering you, I won't laugh anymore."
Kamio Tatsuya naturally didn't explain why he was laughing so hard, and if you don't understand Chinese, it's probably hard to get the joke.
Even if you get the joke, you might not be as bored as Kamio Tatsuya.
Manabe Shiho looked at Kamio Tatsuya, her lips twitched slightly, but ultimately she didn't say anything.
Then, she continued to look at Karuizawa.
"Karuizawa, unless I'm mistaken, you had a fight with Rika a few days ago during summer vacation, right?"
Moreover, when she said these words, Manabe stared intently at Karuizawa, looking very unfriendly.
Karuizawa's expression was somewhat blank, as if she hadn't expected to be spoken to at all.
Oh my, it feels like there's some drama coming.
Kamio Tatsuya looked over there with interest.
Judging from Karuizawa's personality, facing such a forceful statement from Manabe, she would probably stand up and argue with her right away, right?
But her reaction was unexpected. After thinking for a moment, she immediately denied it.
"Huh? What? Who's Rika?"
Huh?
Is this really the Karuizawa who always causes trouble in Class D?
She's being so wimpy?
It feels kind of boring...
But even though Karuizawa denied it, Manabe didn't give up.
"She's a girl in our class who wears glasses and has her hair in buns. Don't you remember?"
"I don't know her. You must have mistaken me for someone else."
Karuizawa replied calmly, then she focused her attention back on her phone.
Strange, this is really strange.
Because Kamio Tatsuya knew about this incident. The day before coming to the desert island, Kamio Tatsuya was eating at the shopping mall at noon when he witnessed it firsthand.
Karuizawa cut in line and directly knocked down a girl who looked easy to bully, and then didn't even offer a decent apology.
That girl's characteristics were just like what Manabe described.
Did she forget?
Not likely, because when Manabe mentioned the name Rika, Kamio Tatsuya clearly noticed a hint of panic in her eyes.
So she remembers it.
Then why doesn't she admit it?
Karuizawa Kei has never acted like a good person. She borrows money and doesn't pay it back in Class D, and causes trouble outside.
According to her personality, she should stand up and confront Manabe right now.
But she actually backed down.
There's also something else that's very strange. Karuizawa's underwear was stolen by Ibuki on the desert island, but Ibuki is right here, and she hasn't tried to pick a fight with her.
"Is that so? But Rika clearly told me that she was bullied by a girl named Karuizawa from Class D, saying that she was waiting in line at the coffee shop, but you cut in line and knocked her over."
"I told you, I don't know! You've mistaken me for someone else."
Manabe seems to want to stand up for her friend, even though her friend isn't here.
Karuizawa's response was very weak, only repeatedly emphasizing that they had mistaken her for someone else.
Moreover, Kamio Tatsuya also noticed that Karuizawa's expression was no longer as relaxed as before. Even if she didn't remember it before, she must have remembered that incident by now.
According to her personality, she should say something like: Yeah, so what? And shouldn't she be blamed for getting in my way?
Seeing that Kamio Tatsuya was watching with great interest, Ichinose, who was sitting next to him, tapped Kamio Tatsuya and whispered, "Hey, is it okay not to do anything?"
"I have no reason to do anything, right? And it's clear that Karuizawa is in the wrong in this matter."
Kamio Tatsuya didn't lower his voice when he spoke, so everyone in the room could hear him clearly.
"Huh? What are you talking about? What's the basis for you saying that?"
Karuizawa stood up straight from her chair and looked at Kamio Tatsuya with a pale face.
"Because I saw it with my own eyes. It was on the second day of summer vacation, at the coffee shop on the second floor of the shopping mall." Kamio Tatsuya found it very strange. "On the other hand, I think it's very strange about you. If you dared to do it, why don't you dare to admit it? What's the matter? Are you afraid that they'll beat you up?"
Kamio Tatsuya was truly curious. Since she dared to knock someone down and not apologize, she should just admit it. Just like Kamio Tatsuya, he had tricked Ryuen in a fair and aboveboard way.
Karuizawa...Is she just paper-thin?
Thinking of this, Kamio Tatsuya's expression became strange.
And the three members of Class C, especially Manabe, who had received Kamio Tatsuya's support, were now unbearably smug.
"See, now you even have a witness. How about you come with me and apologize to Rika obediently later?"
As she said this, Manabe Shiho grabbed Karuizawa's arm directly. As a result, this one action seemed to have shocked Karuizawa.
"Don't touch me!"
Karuizawa suddenly swung her arm, directly causing Manabe to lose her balance. If it weren't for the two girls behind her, Manabe would probably be lying on the ground now.
"Manabe!"
"What are you doing?"
Manabe, who had regained her balance, was now furious, with a strong urge to start fighting with Karuizawa right away.
And Karuizawa didn't seem to expect things to escalate to this point. Her previous action was just a reflex, and when she came to her senses, she had almost caused a disaster.
But now that things have come to this, she can no longer back down.
"It's not my fault, she touched me first."
This sentence was like lighting a fuse.
Although Manabe grabbed Karuizawa Kei's arm first, she only grabbed her, and Kamio Tatsuya didn't even see her using any force.
The reason why things have gotten to this point is because Karuizawa's reaction was too extreme.
But...
It's only interesting when it's like this. Fight, fight!
