Oreki-san thought to himself while watching this scene.
At the same time, he also had the idea that if there were any expelling exams one day, he could just choose Yahiko-san.
He is afraid this is a plan that the students in Class A will agree with.
The people who came in were all boys from Class D, and one of them was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. So Oreki paid attention.
After discovering that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was just following Sudou and the others, Oreki-san withdrew his gaze.
Then he placed it on the tall purple-haired girl sitting in front of him.
He found Kamuro-san writing a diary on her mobile phone.
"Sakayanagi Arisu," Kamuro-san said as if she was impatient. "That girl is very troublesome."
"She couldn't come by herself, but she asked me to write down and report even during my breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day."
But even while complaining, Kamuro-san's hands didn't stop, still typing cluckily.
Oh.
Is Sakayanagi-san so meticulous?
Or.
Is this the effect of training Kamuro every day?
It's just that she has been trained so thoroughly every day, Kamuro-san, don't you ever resist?
Looking at this scene, Oreki-san quickly thought of the precognitive dream in which Kamuro-san became Sakayanagi Arisu's driver ten years later.
"By the way, do you hate Sakayanagi Arisu?" Oreki-san asked.
"Um?"
The tall girl with purple hair wearing three hairpins looked over immediately.
"Are you recording?"
"…" Oreki.
It seems that Kamuro-san is quite dissatisfied with Sakayanagi-san.
"I think sometimes it's better for you to accept your fate," Oreki-san said, taking a sip of the free Coke. "You can't beat Sakayanagi Arisu."
"What do you mean by accepting your fate?"
But Kamuro-san doesn't seem to like this sentence.
"As long as my academic ability keeps up, then I will be the same as the other students in Class A."
"I don't need her anymore," Kamuro-san said.
"That's right. But Sakayanagi-san holds your weakness in her hands," Houtarou Oreki said.
"Haha——" Kamuro seemed to be mocking.
Then she started drinking milk tea quietly.
Exposing her weakness to Sakayanagi Arisu was already a very stupid thing, and she would not expose it to Oreki again.
Otherwise, she will really have two masters.
And after following Oreki for several days, he didn't even ask her to make money or anything.
This kind of thing——
And Katsuragi-kun came over at this time.
"Oreki-san," Katsuragi said. "About this exam——"
He said, "I discovered yesterday that the ship has been moving in a uniform circular motion around the island."
"And now, the ship has approached the island."
"So I think the exam venue for this exam is likely to be related to the island."
"Now I think I can go observe and record it. Maybe I can get some information in advance," Katsuragi-san said.
Although he sent a text message to Oreki yesterday, he found that the ship was still far away from the island, so he couldn't do anything.
Katsuragi did this first.
Now, the ship is less than 2,000 meters away from the island, no, maybe only 1,500 meters away.
Then it was still driving towards the island.
So.
Maybe they can observe some information by going to the deck now.
"This," Oreki said. "I don't think there's much need anymore."
"Last night, Kouenji Rokusuke from Class D had swum to the island."
"So the information we get now is not as good as the other party's," Oreki said.
???
What the hell?
That being said, it's not useless to record it.
But Katsuragi-san instantly doubted his life.
And that Kouenji in Class D swam so far?
"But don't worry," Oreki said. "Even if Kouenji is a student of Class D, this is a good thing for us."
"You mean--"
Katsuragi suddenly reacted.
What he has been struggling with is that the test scores this time are so big. If he doesn't grasp it well, Class A's advantage will be greatly reduced.
...
After dinner, Oreki-san contacted Horikita-san and then invited Kushida-san as well.
Yesterday, Kushida-san dumped the garbage on him all night long.
Considering that the exam on the small island might start soon, Oreki decided to sell information that the exam was about to start. The scope of the exam was information about the small island that he could not react to even if he knew it.
And.
On his system tasks.
The task period is 8 days.
In other words.
Kojima exams can last for several days.
So Kushida-san's weekly visit must be on a small island.
So let's give her +1 in favor first. In this way, her resistance will be reduced.
"So, Oreki-kun, what's your plan to make money today?"
Kushida-san's face didn't look like she was taking out the trash in the middle of the night and didn't get enough sleep.
A sweet smile appeared on her face.
Then she kept a cute expression.
Rather, Oreki-san finally thought of making money with her.
But she was called over early in the morning, and there was no information, so she consulted first.
"Then it depends on how much money Ryuuen has," Oreki-san said.
"Oh." Kushida-san seemed to have lost interest.
She has also been in contact with students in Class C these days.
What she basically learned from these friends was that Ryuuen was a violent guy and a tyrant.
Ishizaki and the others were opposed to Ryuuen at first and even united 36 people to participate in Oreki-san's store plan. As a result, he was hated by Ryuuen.
Ishizaki still has scars all over his body.
In other words, he was beaten severely.
Hey, hey, isn't this scary?
He is a real gangster!
So, if you extract points from Ryuuen, you will be remembered.
That means you may be retaliated against.
Then that's not a good thing.
"Ryuuen hates me, so he will blame me for his anger," Oreki said, paying attention to her expression.
"Oh." Kushida-san nodded slightly.
She folded her fingers cutely, showing a relaxed look.
"...%" Oreki-san.
It's so easy to recognize, Kushida-san.
Oreki then looked at Horikita Suzune beside him.
Horikita-san returned to her usual aloofness, and when she followed him out, she was still holding her vocabulary book.
But.
Oreki stood in front of her.
"Shake your hand first," Oreki said.
??
Horikita Suzune gave him a strange look.
Then she glanced at Kushida again.
Oh.
She remembered.
Yesterday, Oreki had done the same thing as her, and the theory was that Kushida-san's temptation was too strong, and he wanted to see if he was swayed.
But now Kushida is by his side, and Kushida is pretending to be cute on purpose.
In other words, is Oreki actually very shaken now?
So she kept a straight face.
Horikita-san lent him her strength.
She also raised her right hand.
The two held hands.
[Use resilience?]
Yes!
Oreki-san quickly clicked on the system.
???
But this scene left Kushida Kikyo on the side stunned.
So.
Really.
These two are probably dating.
What she was thinking about was her weekly meeting; Oreki Houtarou said that she made her discover that he was not good at dealing with girls.
So she is needed as experience.
So is she the experience value of Oreki Houtarou and Horikita Suzune's relationship?
Is she actually achieving the success of Horikita Suzune? Is she actually inferior to Horikita Suzune?
Grass!
"Kushida-san has an image."
Oreki quickly let go of Horikita-san's hand and reminded her.
"I hate it - I haven't become fierce."
Kushida-san quickly calmed down.
Probably because Kushida had also taken out the trash, Horikita Suzune ignored Kushida and continued walking forward.
And Ryuuen is already in front.
Ryuuen leaned against the guardrail on the deck, and his follower, the 2-meter-tall Albert, stood aside.
"Hey, isn't this Oreki Houtarou?"
"And then he brought two beautiful girls with him——"
Ryuuen's tone seemed a little frivolous.
In fact, the deployment has been completed. He let the students of Class C out to socialize. To put it bluntly, the socializing was fake. The real purpose was to test the loyalty of these guys in the class.
Then deal with easily shaken spies and the like in one go.
Then another purpose is to deliberately make everyone think that he is a tyrant, and then there are so many people in Class C who want to resist him.
And came up with a cruel trick about Ibuki.
Then.
Although I don't know the content direction rules of the exam now.
But plant this external image first.
In this way, Ibuki and others who want to resist him can have unexpected effects.
So Ryuuen was in a good mood.
But now I see Houtarou coming over. Although he has the money defrauded from opening a store by 36 students, he also has 800,000 points to blame.
But.
Now his goal is to rush to Class B first or collect points.
So, let's leave Oreki alone for now.
So before Oreki Houtarou made a request, he took the initiative to say hello.
"Do you still want to come and brush my points?"
"I do have some points on hand now."
Ryuuen said. "But it's a pity that we only have 100,000. The rest has been spent."
Um.
He did not ask for points from his class this month.
On the one hand, Class C's own class evaluation score is not high, and it is collected every month, and the students in the class also have opinions.
So if he wanted points, he decided to earn them himself.
On the other hand, I also feel that Houtarou is poisonous. It seems that he collects the points of Class C through him and then takes the points from his hands.
This is so disgusting.
So now Ryuuen only has 103,000 points in his account.
"One hundred thousand, so let's make do with it," Oreki said.
"I have a piece of news for you," Oreki said.
"I won't be fooled."
"Are you sure?" Oreki said calmly.
"This is about the exam."
"You may not have noticed that the test questions for this exam are on the island."
"The ship has been circling the island for a long time."
"And we just approached the island today. I'm afraid the school asked us to observe the island carefully," Oreki said. "At this distance, using camera equipment can reveal some unique places."
"..." Ryuuen.
"..." Ryuuen.
Is that so?
He also felt it was outrageous.
This ship keeps circling the island, making people feel dizzy.
"I'll transfer the points to you," Ryuuen said quickly.
Then he quickly prepared to stand up.
"Albert, let's go!"
"??"
"Go borrow camera equipment!"
"If the news is accurate, then there must be something on this island that you can get now and take shortcuts in the exam later!"
Ryuuen's sense of smell is very sensitive.
So Albert quickly followed.
"But," Ryuuen turned around. He seemed to be smiling. "You actually sold me such important information for 100,000 points."
"Do you think this test is still a simple score of one hundred and two percent?"
"So Class A can still be far ahead?"
Ryūen smiled. "It's a pity. The information I got is that the student council president got 400 points in this exam."
"Oreki Houtarou, there are times when your shoes get wet on the shore!"
"…" Oreki.
"Why do you think I sold you the information so cheaply?" Oreki-san said. "I'm a student in Class A. If you from Class C come up, what good will it do to my Class A?"
"So I will sell you the news because you don't have enough preparation time."
And almost when Oreki finished speaking.
There was a sound of trumpets on the ship.
That was the voice of the announcement from Class A's class teacher, Mr. Mashima.
[Beep! Microphone test!]
[Students please change into your sportswear after ten minutes, confirm your designated backpacks and luggage, take your mobile phones and gather on the deck.]
[Please leave all other personal belongings in the room. You may not be able to go to the bathroom temporarily, so please handle your personal issues by yourself.]
[We will have a special exam next.]
That is to say.
The exam is really about to begin.
"..." Ryuuen.
Hey.
Isn't this completely unprepared time?
But.
"Thank you Ryūen-san for your charity."
Oreki has received the transfer from Ryuen.
Then he also transferred the points to Horikita-san and Kushida-san respectively.
