Light: "I want you to make her drop out the day right before the exam is over."
Ichinose: "I'm not sure I understand..."
Light: "The Class C student who is here is most likely a spy sent by the guy who rules over Class C. What was his name...Ryuuen? Yeah, he most likely did the same thing with Ibuki."
Ichinose: "Are you sure....? Maybe.."
Light: "Listen I know this is out of the blue, however, I can assure you he's most likely a spy. I don't have any evidence to back up my claim, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Of course, you can decide to not listen to me, which is ultimately up to you. I just wanted you to know this since we're friends."
Ichinose: "You're most likely right...but he seems so nice..."
Light: "That's just a mask he wears, don't let him fool you. At this point, he either is still trying to figure out who the leader for your class is or he already knows and is just trying to act natural."
Ichinose: "I see...but aren't we already done for if he knows our leader?"
Light: "Not necessarily, you see if the leader were to drop out then someone else can take that person's position. Therefore you'll only lose 30 points for dropping out instead of 50."
Ichinose: "Thank you Yagami-kun, it's really great that our classes can work together."
Light: "It's not a problem at all, remember our classes are in an alliance and I believe that we can work together on these exams to overcome them and achieve the best possible route."
Ichinose: "Yes, that would be the best for both of our classes, but still to tell me this wasn't a requirement of you...you could've let us lose those points to try and gain an advantage over us for your class....."
Light: "I couldn't just hold that information from you, I'm not like that...I would've felt guilty for not telling you."
Ichinose: "Thank you..."
Ichinose proceeded to hug me which sort of reminded me of Misa.....sadly the moment was ruined. The students of Class B started calling out for Ichinose.
Light: "Well that seems like your queue."
Ichinose: "Yep, I'll see you another day Yagami-kun."
Light: "Hopefully soon."
I smiled at Ichinose as we both went our separate ways.
(Timeskip)
I walked back to the camp since going to check out the Class A camp would be an absolute waste of time. I already know that their leader is Yahiko. If theirs anything interesting happening, then Horikita would tell me. I had already claimed the spots once again so I didn't need to worry about that for about, another 7 hours.
As I was back in our camp, I walked over to Horikita.
Light: "Hey Horikita, how did it go?"
Horikita: "Absolutely nothing came of it."
Light: "Really?"
Horikita: "The class has their camp situated in a cave, however they covered the entrance with a tarp. I tried to enter, but their guard dog didn't let me."
Light: "Well that's a shame...anyways I'll go fishing, wanna come?"
Horikita: "No thanks, I'm already tired from dealing with the other classes."
Light: "Alright, I'll speak with you later."
I went to go fishing, my strategy for spending our class points revolved on the group fishing for food, which I found as a simple task. You just have to know the correct time of when to pull the rod.
(Timeskip)
5 fish is the amount I caught so far, not bad if I say so myself...
Kikyou: "Hey but don't you kind of feel relaxed right now? It's really calm when your fishing Mii-chan."
On my expedition, I was accompanied by Kikyou, Mii-chan, Sato, Matsushita, Inogashira, and Shinohara. They had already finished picking fruit for the class so they decided to get some fish as well. I was sitting right next to Sato, while Kikyou along with the other girls on my right.
Mii-chan: "Well..this is really calming.."
Shinohara: "Your right it's really calming because Ike isn't here right now."
Oh boy, Shinohara and Ike have been fighting quite a lot, they look like a couple that just broke up, drama is practically unavoidable in school. Even when I'm not directly involved.
Sato: "Sooo...Yagami-kun, do you have a girlfriend yet?"
Huh?
As Sato said finished her question, all the conversations suddenly went quiet. I felt as if though all the girls were looking directly at me, especially Kikyou.
Light: "Well, no I don't."
Sato: "O-oh, well u-um in that case, would you be willing to be in a relationship?"
Light: "Maybe, I never really thought about having a girlfriend. What about you?"
Sato: "Wha-what do you mean?"
Light: "I mean if you've ever had a boyfriend, I mean you're young and beautiful so it wouldn't be a surprise to me if somebody has already confessed to you."
Sato immediately blushed with my remark.
Light: "Well to be fair, all the girls here are very beautiful."
I turned my head over to the females on my right.
Light: "I would be a very lucky man to be in a relationship with any of you."
Now all of the girls were blushing, that was quite easy if I'm honest.
Kikyou: "You're giving yourself less credit, Light-kun."
Light: "Thank you, is there anything else you guys want to talk about?"
All of the girls seemed to be thinking about a topic to bring up.
Kikyou: "Oh, what about the other classes..?"
Light: "Well in general, I like Class B the most. They seemed the friendliest."
If I were to describe each class, I would go about it by comparing them each to a different government. Class A seems something like a possible monarchy, they all seem to be following Katsuragi for the time being.
Class B appears to be democratic with the way they do things and Class C seems like a dictatorship. Our class could be a democracy as well or in the future a monarchy...
(2 Days Afterword)
I was woken up to Sudou calling me.
Sudou: "Man, about time you wake up."
Light: "What's happening?"
Sudou: "Like hell, if I know, the girls suddenly came to our tent and demanded we come out. It doesn't look like anything good to me."
The boys remaining in the tent started waking up now. As we left the tent, I could see the other boys who all looked extremely exhausted while all the girls looked pissed.
Hirata: "Umm girls, can you please explain what this is about, all of us are really tired..."
Shinohara: "We're sorry Hirata-kun, this doesn't involve you but this is extremely important."
Shinohara looked over to the rest of the boys.
Shinohara: "This morning, Karuizawa-san's underwear went missing."
Hirata: "Huh? mi-missing....?"
Shinohara: "Yes, Karuizawa-san is crying in the tent right now, Kushida-san and the others are trying to comfort her, but when you have your undergarments stolen by a perverted freak, it's really difficult to be happy."
Shinohara looked directly at Ike when she said that last statement.
Ike: "Wait, what are you trying to say?!"
Shinohara: "I'm trying to say that one of the boys obviously took it!"
Ike: "That's absurd!"
Shinohara: "Of course you would say that, come to think of it, you were pretty late coming back from the bathroom yesterday."
Ike: "So? It was completely dark outside!"
The boys started blaming each other, each trying to say their reasoning.
Ike: "If anything, it would've probably have been you Haruki!"
Yamauchi: "What? No way! I think it was probably you!"
Shinohara: "Hirata-kun, can you please help us find the culprit?"
Hirata: "Yes, do you have anything in mind to help us find the culprit?"
Shinohara: "I want to check the bags of all the boys!"
Ike: "Wh-what, no way!"
Shinohara: "What do you have anything more to say?"
Ike: "Of course, we like our privacy!"
Hirata: "Listen, guys, I know this might seem unfair, but let's just do it. This way, you can prove that you're innocent and have nothing to do with the theft, please."
All the boys seemed to reluctantly accept Hirata's proposal.
Hirata: "For privacy sake, I'll be the one check the bags, is this alright girls?"
The girls all nodded.
I started making my way over to the tent until Shinohara called my name.
Shinohara: "Wait, Yagami-kun come over here."
Light: "Yes, is there anything you need?"
Shinohara: "We don't suspect you at all, there is no way that you'd steal the underwear. Right girls?"
All the girls nodded to Sinohara's statement.
Light: "Thank you for trusting me, I'm really grateful to you all."
I bowed my head as a sign of respect.
Mii-chan: "O-oh you don't need to do that, you've been really nice to all of us....it only makes sense that we trust you..."
All the girls agreed with what Mii-chan said.
(Timeskip)
As the boys were handing over their bags one by one, Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudou appeared to be talking all the way at the back of the line.
Ike seemed to be extremely nervous. Sinohara took note of the three being at the back of the line talking about something.
Sinohara: "He probably has it....that baka."
(Timeskip)
Hirata: "Well that's the last one, the underwear is nowhere to be found."
Shinohara: "Wait"
Shinohara made her way over to our tent and opened it. She checked inside for the underwear to no avail.
Shinohara: "Hmm, Hirata-kun could you check their pockets as well?"
Ike: "This is just a waste of time, can you stop accusing us already?!"
Hirata: "Please guys, just this one more thing."
All the guys once again, reluctantly accepted.
Shinohara: "To hurry this up, Yagami-kun could you assist Hirata-kun?"
Light: "Not a problem."
(Timeskip)
The last male I was going to search for was Ike. Ike seemed to be extremely nervous.
Ike: "Hey why haven't you checked Yagami's stuff?!"
Shinohara: "Because we know that he isn't a pervert like you."
As Ike approached me he appeared to be sweating a lot. Yamauchi and Sudou were looking at us in anticipation.
Sinohara: "Why do you appear to be really nervous Ike?"
Ike: "U-umm no reason..."
Ike looked at me with pleading eyes.
I started patting him down until I reached his pockets. I felt that he had something in one of them.
Ike you idiot!
Light: "He doesn't have it either."
Sinohara: "Really? I thought he would've..."
Yamauchi and Sudou both seemed absolutely shocked but didn't say anything as Ike approached them.
(Timeskip)
I called both Ike and Hirata into the woods to discuss the underwear theft.
Hirata: "So Ike-kun, Yagami-kun told me you had something in your pocket. Please be honest with me, is it the underwear?"
Ike: "Y-yes"
Ike ran over to Hirata and grabbed his shoulders.
Ike: "Please man, I didn't steal it! It just appeared in my bag, please believe me!"
I put my hand on Ike's shoulder.
Light: "Don't worry, we believe you."
Hirata: "Yagami-kun is right, we believe you."
Ike: "Thank you, both of you.....I-I can't thank you enough!"
Ike handed the underwear over to Hirata and went back to the camp. It was only Hirata and I now.
Hirata: "So, can you help me Yagami-kun?"
Light: "Yes, this is extremely serious at this point. The perpetrator not only stole the underwear but also tried to frame one of my friends. This could've ruined our class."
Hirata: "Thank you Yagami-kun, for helping me..."
I nodded to Hirata's statement.
Surprisingly, Hirata grabbed my hands.
Hirata: "Thank you, this really means a lot....."
Light: "No worries, I mean, what are friends for right?"
Hirata: "Yes....friends..."
(Timeskip)
Karuizawa: "We have to separate the boys from the girls! There is no way we can sleep right next to a perverted thief!"
Hirata: "I-I can see your point..."
Shinohara: "I believe this should do."
Shinohara makes a line with a tree branch she picked up.
Shinohara: "The boys aren't permitted beyond this line."
This started another debate, I just decided to make my way over to the lake and stare at the marvelous water. This scenery was really breathtaking.
After, about 2 minutes, I heard my name being called by someone unexpected.
Horikita: "Yagami-kun, can you come over here?"
Light: "Sure"
As I made my way back to the group, all of them appeared to be staring at me.
Light: "Did you need anything?"
Horikita: "Yes, can you help Hirata-kun move the tent?"
Light: "Sure"
Karuizawa: "W-wait a minute, Hirata is truly the only boy we can trust..."
Something else unexpectedly happened.
Airi: "I disagree, Light-kun is extremely trustworthy...."
The girl's eyes moved over to Airi. She seemed to be extremely nervous, however, she held her ground.
Kikyou: "I agree with Sakura-san."
Mii-chan: "I do too!"
Shinohara: "I have to disagree with you Karuizawa-san, I trust Yagami-kun too."
Horikita: "See? All the girls trust him, are you still going to disagree?"
Karuizawa: "F-fine"
Karuizawa had to reluctantly accept since all the females had already voiced their opinion in my favor.
(Timeskip)
Hirata: "Hey, thanks for helping me Yagami-kun. This is definitely not an easy task."
Light: "No worries, besides a majority of the females were alright with it."
I had to go and claim the spots once more before setting up the girl's tent, now I have about 7 hours to do anything else.
As Hirata and I were putting the girl's tent in its new location, Karuizawa started calling Hirata.
Karuizawa: "Hirata-kun, could you come over here?"
Hirata: "Ah, I-I'm not sure I can...."
Light: "It's alright I got this, you gotta do what you gotta do."
Karuizawa: "Hurry up Hirata-kun!"
Hirata: "Thank you Yagami-kun. Coming Karuizawa-san!"
With that, I was left alone.
Why don't Hirata and Karuizawa refer to each other on a first-name basis? Aren't couples supposed to do that....?
As I was finishing setting up the girl's tent, Ibuki came up to me.
Ibuki: "Do you have a minute?"
Light: "Sure, I was just finishing up anyways."
I finished putting the tent in its place and sat down.
Light: "So, what did you want to talk about?"
Ibuki: "The incident that happened just a second ago, the panty theft. To me...it just seemed absolutely disgusting, there is nothing that I wouldn't do if someone stole my underwear."
Light: "Yeah, it's honestly horrible to think someone in my class stole it."
Ibuki: "Your class.....do you even think that I did it?"
I stood up to directly face Ibuki.
Light: "No, I don't believe that you would do it."
Ibuki seemed shocked at my remark.
Ibuki: "Wow thanks, but.....you're just being foolish if you don't even suspect the enemy...."
Light: "Since when were we enemies?"
Ibuki: "Huh?"
Light: "We're in different classes is all, but that doesn't make us enemies. In fact, our class is allied with Class B."
Ibuki stayed silent so I continued.
Light: "Actually, believe it or not, I'm friends with someone from your class, Shiina Hiyori. That just goes to show that we aren't enemies, our situations are a bit different is all."
Ibuki: "I see....you really are optimistic...no wonder the girls trusted you..."
Light: "Well, I just think that's apart of my charm."
I started making my way to Ibuki and simultaneously I started to move my hand in my pocket to "accidentally" drop something really important.
Light: "Hey, do you wanna-"
The keycard fell out of my pocket...
Ibuki seemed shocked.
Light: "Oh....didn't mean to drop that. Well, it's not like you're going to betray us Ibuki, I don't think your that type of person."
Ibuki: "Hmm.....oh....yeah...sure..."
Ibuki looked down.
Light: "As I was saying before, do you wanna go fishing?"
Ibuki: "Sure..."
Light: "Well let's have some fun."
