"Kaneda-kun."
Ichinose waved her arms and said generously, "We're going to update our base."
"Ah, yes! Then I'll go outside the camp to rest first."
Kaneda was also very sensible, wiped the sweat from his forehead and left without any hesitation.
Not at all like a spy.
It seems to be just to live up to his identity as a Class C student.
Even if he can't get any class points, he has to try to overcome this exam, and he works very hard.
Huh?
Hikigaya was staring at the other's back.
He could only sigh again that this was a top school, and even a person in Class C was so excellent.
Such a person actually lost to Ryuuen.
Ryuuen, who ruled Class C with violence, what kind of person is he?
In the midle of thinking
Hikigaya followed Shibata and others to the cabin, under their gaze, Shiranami Chihiro updated the base ownership.
"That..."
Hikigaya couldn't help but speak, "Is it really okay?"
It's really puzzling.
Ichinose and Kanzaki are so excellent, they should have thought of everything, why are they so calm?
"It's fine."
Kanzaki looked back at the direction of the cliff male student camp and pondered:
"I've been observing Kaneda these days, and he doesn't seem to be a spy, at least not in his actions. Or do you have other ideas?"
"Well..."
Hikigaya nodded and still suggested, "Or let's break something and frame Kaneda, so he can quit the exam."
There's no helping it.
After all, this also relates to his personal points.
He still hopes that Class B can win.
"Uh..."
Everyone present was smart people and immediately understood Hikigaya's meaning. Shibata and others were shocked.
"That's not good."
"That's too much."
Shibata and Kanzaki nodded involuntarily.
"Yeah."
Shirakawa also said in a mosquito-like voice, "If Kaneda really gets kicked out of Class C, and we still want to frame him, wouldn't Kaneda be too pitiful."
"Well..."
Hikigaya scratched his head.
Indeed.
From the perspective of bystanders, Kaneda is indeed very pitiful.
He didn't really want to harm anyone, but these people were too nice.
"Don't worry, Hikigaya."
Ichinose smiled and comforted, "Everyone has worked so hard, we can definitely pass this exam smoothly. And when updating the base, Kaneda has never been close to the base, right?"
"Indeed..."
Hikigaya reluctantly accepted and was curious, "By the way, how about Class A?"
Since the start of the exam.
He has been nesting in the camp and knows nothing about the island.
Since it's Class A, and they only lost 60 points in the first month of school, it's obviously the most outstanding existence among the four classes.
However
Such a class.
There is no sense of presence at all, no matter how you think about it, it's not normal.
"Class A."
Ichinose laughed and explained, "Speaking of which, Hikigaya may not know yet, Class A now has two leaders."
"Sakayanagi Arisu was absent from this exam due to leg inconvenience, and the person in charge of this exam is Katsuragi, the leader of Class A."
It seems to have heard of it.
It seems to be the one who ran for the student council with Ichinose and was rejected at the same time.
"Katsuragi is a very stable and special opponent that needs special attention."
Ichinose expressed her opinion, "Compared to Sakayanagi, Katsuragi will be more conservative. This time he just occupied a cave on the island and didn't come out. The specifics are not clear, but it should not matter."
"Is that so?"
Hikigaya nodded.
Bear cave tactics, mainly defensive, it seems that there is no need to worry about it.
It's just a bit unexpected.
Class A actually had internal strife.
But from another perspective, even if there is internal strife, Class A still maintains the first place, this self-discipline is really amazing.
Forget it.
Since it doesn't matter, anything about Class A is fine.
Everyone chatted casually for a while
Then they disbanded on the spot.
Hikigaya stared at the base screen in front of him with dead fish eyes.
Effort will not betray the results.
This is undoubtedly a wrong idea.
Rather.
Most of the efforts in the world are just in vain.
It's just that the fact that you have worked hard can comfort yourself.
However
Ichinose words also makes sense.
When updating the base, this guy Kaneda has never been close to the base, and our defense is very strong.
But,
Change the leader or frame Kaneda.
Both proposals were rejected by Ichinose and others.
After thinking for a while
Hikigaya still decided to forget it, let's choose to trust Ichinose here, he just needs to do something that doesn't matter.
In the midle of thinking
Hikigaya walked behind Shiranami, she was preparing to cut corn for the evening ingredients, Hikigaya stared at her weak and delicate body.
That being said.
What is Shiranami's full name??
Forget it, even if I don't know it doesn't matter.
Names are not necessary in communication, he has long been accustomed to talking to guys who don't remember their names, and there is nothing to care about.
"That..??"
Hikigaya spoke softly.
"Eh?" Shiranami looked back, somewhat surprised: "Hikigaya, what's the matter?"
"Yeah."
Hikigaya nodded: "Can you show me the key card?"
"Okay."
Shiranami took out the key card from the pocket of her lower clothes and handed it to him without thinking.
The overall key card is green.
The size is about the same as a bank card, but it is about three times thicker than a bank card, about three millimeters.
"Thank you."
After looking at it for a while, Hikigaya returned the card and reminded: "That, although it was me who asked you to take it out, it's a bit strange to say that, but you can't just take out the card so simply, right?"
"Eh?"
Shiranami in front of her blushed and waved her hands in a panic: "No, because it's Hikigaya, I took it out."
"Ah, oh."
Hikigaya was stunned before reacting.
Shiranami
If you say these brainless words, ordinary boys will probably fall quickly.
But her meaning.
Likely because he is one of her classmates.
Shiranami also has her own considerations, and naturally maintains a high level of vigilance against Kaneda as a leader.
"That's good, then I'll go first."
Hikigaya turned around and left.
But Shiranami's nervous and shy personality is a bit worrying. If the exam fails, this girl will probably blame herself a lot.
After all, as a member of the cover-up group, it is better to cover up Shiranami as much as possible.
....
The afternoon of the third day of the exam.
Hikigaya was still honestly staying by the boiler.
The uninhabited island is a rare experience.
Although it's a pity that I can't take pictures to show off to Komachi, Ichinose seems to have arranged for someone to take pictures.
After the exam, they will give them photos.
But.
If in the end all the photos do not have his figure.
He will cry.
Just as Hikigaya was emptying his brain and thinking wildly.
"Good afternoon."
The glasses boy Kaneda appeared beside him, smiling and greeting: "Is there anything here that needs help?"
"Nothing."
Hikigaya was not polite.
"Don't be like that."
Kaneda took the initiative to pick up the firewood and threw it into the fire, somewhat lost
"Although Ichinose and others kindly took me in, I am a member of Class C after all. I always feel a little sorry if I don't do something, so please tell me if there is anything I can help"
This person,
Really can talk.
If I continue to refuse, it seems that I am a very cold person and have no sympathy.
Of course, you have to said that
Even from his perspective as an observer, Kaneda has been working quite hard these past few days.
Not only has he built good relationships with most of the people in Class B, but he has also been doing his best to help with the work, without any intention of freeloading.
If he were a bit more handsome, it would be hard not to like him.
For a moment,
It was unclear.
Who exactly was a member of Class B, him or Kaneda.
"Then..."
Hikigaya was also straightforward, "Could you please put the cooled water into the bottle."
"Okay."
As Kaneda was pouring water, he said, "By the way, I still don't know your name. I'm Kaneda Satoru from Class C, and you?"
"Hikigaya~"
Hikigaya only said half, implying for the other party to get lost.
"Hikigaya, can I call you Hikigaya-kun? Of course, you can just call me Kaneda, but it would be even better if you could call me Satoru."
Kaneda laughed without a care.
"Hahaha."
Hikigaya gave a dry laugh without responding. Little Kaneda, your social skills really don't seem like someone who would be kicked out of Class C.
"Actually, I've always been envious of you guys."
Kaneda continued to pour another bottle, his tone slightly bitter, "Being able to be assigned to Class B, and having such an excellent leader as Ichinose, unlike me..."
Although this guy is a good actor.
But he couldn't escape the dead fish eyes of Hikigaya, a first-class human appraiser.
This performance was too deliberate.
Obviously, he was using his own situation to gain sympathy.
A spy?
Definitely a spy!
A scheming boy!
Hikigaya dared to assert that Kaneda was definitely not as honest as he seemed on the surface.
Since the other party wanted to chat, he could only chat with him.
"What about Ryuen..."
Hikigaya started.
"Uh..."
Kaneda was choked for a moment, his tone somewhat unpleasant, "?? You're talking about Ryuen Kakeru, right? That guy is self-centered and selfish."
"He has no respect for people at all, he's a childish brat who thinks he can dominate everything with violence, he has no leadership charm, he can't compare to Ichinose at all..."
Kaneda went on a long rant.
His hatred for Ryuuen is probably real.
If what the other party said is true, being beaten up by Ryuen, Hikigaya wouldn't have a good impression of him either.
But there's one thing he quite agrees with.
Thinking that violence can dominate everything, indeed, is like a childish middle school student.
Although he doesn't deny that there are such annoying people in the world, the effectiveness of violence is only within the range of compulsory education.
That is, during the time from elementary school to middle school.
No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than a nuclear bomb, stronger than an iron fist?
After half an hour of work.
Kaneda wiped his sweat and turned around to leave, to help others.
Hikigaya watched his back without a trace.
Class B's defense was very strict.
Kaneda's style of doing things was also very self-aware.
No wonder Ichinose and others could be so confident, firmly believing that they could pass the exam smoothly without exposing the leader.
However
To find a hidden leader.
There is no need to ask specifically.
Since ancient times.
In human communication activities, language only accounts for 30%.
The remaining 70%.
All are collected from the rotation of the eyes and subtle movements.
Even if you intentionally hide Shiranami's identity, as long as you know the fact that Shiranami is the leader.
People's behavior patterns will have some concerns.
Simply put,
There will be some disharmony, such as special care for the leader Shiranami.
Let's not talk about Ichinose and Kanzaki for the time being, they are excellent enough to avoid this, but others may not.
If Kaneda is smart enough.
The suspect should have been locked within them.
Although.
Ichinose will never let him get solid evidence.
But.
The zero-point tactic of Class C.
Itself has a certain gambling nature.
Ryuen is obviously a person who does not consider risks, or at least is not afraid of risks.
Most likely, he will still write down the name of the suspect in the exam.
In case of a correct guess.
Although Class B will not be sent, it will definitely lose a lot of class points.
The deducted fifty points naturally need not be said, and the extra points for occupying the base will also be invalidated.
Although Ichinose may not think so, Hikigaya feels that her approach is also gambling.
Except for strict defense.
I didn't see any action from Ichinose and others.
Although I can understand the confidence and kindness of Ichinose and others, my inner anxiety cannot be eliminated.
My two proposals were also rejected by Ichinose and others.
It's tricky.
You can't just knock Shiranami out and throw her to the sea.
....
The next day.
The morning of the fourth day of the exam.
Hikigaya is still sitting in front of the boiler as always.
Strictly speaking.
This is not his job,
The class points are related to his pocket money after all.
He was assigned to the cover-up group, and he has the duty to cover up Shiranami.
Thinking about it all night.
The only thing left to do is to control Kaneda's emotions and judgments.
Although it sounds great.
But in fact, it's just to provoke Kaneda's hostility and guide him to the wrong way.
Not necessarily effective.
But it's better than sitting here doing nothing.
Thinking about it,
Hikigaya stood up.
Although Kaneda seems to look down on Ryuen, it is an indisputable fact that he lost to Ryuen in the class status competition.
This kind of guy who thinks he is the smartest.
Actually the easiest to deal with.
