On the second day of the special exam, I woke up at 6:30am and was doing some light stretching and eating a snack.
"Hey, someone from D-class. Would you mind?"
I heard a familiar voice, so when I looked up, Hashimoto from A class was speaking to me from a place on the edge of D class base camp.
The fact that it's not my name but D-class means that he's betraying the Katsuragi faction, just as Arisu ordered.
At the same time as I headed towards Hashimoto, the main players in the class, including Hirata, Horikita, and Kushida, headed towards Hashimoto.
"You're Hashimoto-kun from A-class, right? What do you need from D-class?"
"Ah. To put it simply, I came to pass on information including the leader of A-class."
Hirata and Kushida are surprised by these words, and Horikita looks at them with cold eyes.
"Just like Kamuro-san from yesterday, it seems that Class A is really divided within itself."
"Kamuro? Did she come to D class too?"
"Yes. She came to tell us about the leader of Class A, just like you. Is the leader Yahiko Totsuka-kun?"
Hashimoto laughs and claps at Horikita's words.
"Looks like she really told you that. Yes, the leader of our class is Totsuka from the Katsuragi faction"
Hashimoto says this without any hesitation. Arisu sometimes smells like a vulgar person, but Hashimoto is even more vulgar than Arisu at times.
Well, I guess so too.
"And I'll give this too."
"What?! I-is it okay for me to receive this information?!"
While saying this, Hashimoto hands him a piece of paper, and when Hirata receives it, his eyes widen, so I look at it...
"A map that shows where food is located at the spots occupied by A-class... it's really A-class information."
As Horikita said, there is a lot of information about A-class in that paper.
It's no exaggeration to say that the information about Class A is now completely exposed.
"Katsuragi's strategy is to secure spots around the base camp, so it's better to go and grab spots further away."
"I appreciate that, but if you brought out a map like this, wouldn't class A be in an uproar?"
As Hirata says, it's no exaggeration to say that the map is the lifeline of Class A.
If Katsuragi finds out Hashimoto took it with him, he probably won't get away with it for free.
In response, Hashimoto laughed out loud.
"It's okay. That map is a copy of the map Katsuragi made. The real map is at the A-class base camp."
"But you, the Sakayanagi faction, were able to copy it well, right?"
"Because the people who were in charge of exploration, one was from the Sakayanagi faction. The other one was from the Katsuragi faction, but he didn't hate Sakayanagi and was close to the neutral faction, so we gave him 150,000 points. He hated both, Totsuka, and Katsuragi for being defeated, so when I came into contact with him I told him that I was going to dethrone Katsuragi, he didn't stop me.''
Got it. I thought it wouldn't be strange if there were some people in the Katsuragi faction who regretted joining the Katsuragi faction, but I guess he was keeping a constant vigil with Hashimoto.
From Katsuragi's point of view, all I can say is that this was bad luck.
"I've given you the information anyway, and I'm going to go home and go to sleep. I'm sleepy because I've been keeping vigil."
"Yes. Thank you for the information, but if you keep doing things like that, you'll be swept off your feet."
When Horikita says that, Hashimoto sneers.
"Will we be swept under our feet? In fact, by doing this, A-class will become even stronger. If the Katsuragi faction weakens, it will become Sakayanagi's dictatorial regime. If that happens, A-class will have no blind spots."
"I guess so. If I were to move up to A-class, I would only move up after Sakayanagi's dictatorial system was established."
That way, the probability of not falling from class A to class B will definitely increase.
"If you think about it with common sense, I don't think that a dictatorial system of someone who casually orders people to betray their class will work.''
"If you think about it with common sense. But Sakayanagi is outside the scope of common sense, so I'm not worried."
Well, I won't deny that.
There is no doubt that Arisu is a monster. I don't think there are any first-year students who can beat Arisu in a probing battle.
At best, Ryuuen would be a good place.
As I was thinking about it, Hashimoto seemed to have finished talking and was about to leave the base camp, but before he could, he stopped and looked at me.
"By the way, Hikigaya. Did you have any trouble with Kamuro? She was blushing all day yesterday, and when I mentioned Hikigaya's name, she started getting irritated."
"Kamuro? I don't know. It seems like yesterday I hit my head and passed out, but at that time Kamuro carried me to the base camp. Other than that, I don't think there's anything special."
My memory of the moment before I passed out is still there, so maybe I did something at that time.
"I see. That's fine. If Katsuragi makes a big move, I'll harass him, but depending on the situation, I'll ask Hikigaya to cooperate."
After saying that, Hashimoto leaves. Once Hashimoto was out of sight, Horikita opened her mouth.
"...First of all, we should go find food to confirm that this map is correct."
"That's right. But there are many people still sleeping, so let's talk after they wake up."
Such a discussion will take place, but since I'm a lowly person, I'll just do whatever I want.
Or rather, I want to go see Hiyori...
___________
After completing the morning roll call, I was free to roam, so I immediately left the base camp.
If I were at base camp, I would probably be forced to work.
Horikita was really grumpy when I left the camp, but I ignored her.
Besides, the theme for this special exam is free, so I'm sure I'll be working hard on it.
As I was walking while thinking this, two men came towards me from the front.
"Huh... Hikigaya?"
I thought the other person noticed me as well, and his expression turned furious. What's with that attitude? I've received a lot of hostility and ridicule before, but this is the first time I've received such an expression.
"Judging by the way you guys walked by, you must be class C students, but do you have something to do with class D?"
I know that the C-class is camped on the beach because it's on the map Hashimoto gave me.
"Ah. Ryuen-san has a message for D-class and Hikigaya personally."
"From Ryūen? Speak now."
"I was asked to send a message to D-Class, asking them to come to the beach if they wanted to enjoy their summer vacation while provoking them, and to Hikigaya, I was asked to send a message to them that Shiina was being annoying, so you should come to the beach and do something about it.''
"I don't care if the D-class scum come or not, but you must come. Shiina's murmuring about wanting to see you at least once a minute, and I can't bear to stay there. That's it."
Hiyori, do you want to see me that much? I think it would be boring to talk to me.
That said, I do want to meet Hiyori, and the pleading aura emitted by the C-class boy is too strange for me to accept.
"...Okay. Then I'll go now. You guys go to the D-class base camp to ridicule them and deliver the message from Ryūen."
While saying this, I start walking towards the C-class base camp. After a while, I could smell the scent of the ocean, so I quickened my stride...
"Hey, you're having too much fun.'' The C class base camp seemed like heaven. Not only were there temporary toilets and showers, but there were also all kinds of equipment necessary for entertaining, such as barbecue sets, sweets, drinks, chairs, and umbrellas. Water bikes are seen racing offshore, and students can be seen enjoying the sea.
(Over 150 points were spent just in the visible area. Has Ryuen given up on the game?)
As I was looking at the question mark, a girl came running toward me. She's not fast, but she's definitely getting closer step by step...
"Hachiman-kun..."
Hiyori continues to hug me. At the same time, I feel the fatigue from yesterday disappearing.
"I'm glad you came. I missed seeing Hachiman-kun all day."
Hiyori tightened her grip on me and started to slip into me, completely spoiling me.
What is this kid? Does she have to make me die in agony? Is it too cute?
"I can't deny that I was lonely too. I wanted to meet you."
To be honest, I don't have any friends with my classmates. I feel the same way about being lonely.
When I answered that, Hiyori's face fell with joy. I am healed by her smile...
"It's shameless Hikigaya, you just came and started right away."
Ryuen, a C-class general, comes from behind Hiyori with his men. Ryūen also wore a swimsuit and was holding a glass of cold water in one hand, looking like he was on vacation.
Actually, Hiyori is the only one wearing a jersey.
"Yo Ryuen. I met your subordinate and heard a message, so I came to visit."
"Oh, you're welcome. I'd like to talk to you about various things, but Hiyori's negative aura is annoying, so let's hang out with Hiyori for a while. I have some swimsuits left over."
"Do you have any left?"
"I originally prepared enough swimsuits for the whole class, but there were some people who didn't follow my methods, so I kicked them out of base camp, so I ended up with one swimsuit for boy and one for girl"
"There's one boy's swimsuit and one girl's swimsuit left...I guess there's someone else besides Ibuki."
"From the way you say it, Ibuki is with you. Ha, what a pathetic girl."
Ryuen says that, but I don't know if it's true or if it's a bluff to keep me from realizing she's a spy.
"I see. Well, considering how extravagant you are, you probably won't have any points anymore, so there's no need to worry about penalties."
"That's the thing. Whether she's here or not doesn't affect me at all. Instead of such boring things, you should just play with Hiyori. Hiyori's mantra about missing her Hachiman-kun has been annoying since yesterday."
"It can't be helped, right? It's painful not being able to see Hachiman-kun."
Ryuen also looked shocked at Hiyori's words.
"Ah, ok, ok. Okay, so go ahead and play with him. Also, Hikigaya, if you want to have sex with Hiyori, I'll lend you a special tent."
"Die, you bastard. I'm not dating Hiyori, and I don't think she would want to do it in the first place."
"I see. Hiyori, Hikigaya says this, but do you want to have sex with Hikigaya?"
In response to Ryuen's words, Hiyori...
"...If Hachiman-kun wants to play with me, I have no objections...."
Even though she was completely red-faced, she made bombshell statements, even as explosive as a hydrogen bomb with overwhelming destructive power, silencing those around Hiyori.
As a result, I could clearly hear the voices of Class C students playing in a remote location.
"Kukuku, what's wrong with Hikigaya? Why don't you play with Hiyori here? If you want to have sex with her, I'll lend you a tent and order some girls to stand guard."
Ryuen, the only person near me who isn't frozen, says this while laughing happily.
I managed to restart it at the same time...
"Let's hold back. Hiyori said she has no objections, but it wouldn't be a good idea to cross the line like this."
To be honest, it's not that I don't want to play with Hiyori.
We're not dating, but we live together, and we sleep together every day, hug each other every day, and kiss each other's foreheads every day, which is why I sometimes get the urge to have sex with Hiyori.
I don't deny it.
However, if you cross the line here, you will definitely regret it later.
If I were to face Ryuen, there is a possibility that I would be attacked.
Therefore, I reject Ryuen's opinion.
"Tsk, it was a chance to see Hikigaya become serious."
"You must be really excited to see us having sex"
This guy said something outrageous.
Seriously, if I was seen, I would drop out of school voluntarily.
"Well, that's fine. Since you came at the right time, you should go 'play' with Hiyori. That way, you won't give off a more annoying aura than Hiyori."
Ryuen and the duo from earlier,
Hiyori was giving off a negative aura.
Were you that lonely not being able to see me...I can't help but smile.
In any case, it doesn't seem like Hiyori will leave me like this, so I guess I'll accept the invitation.
"Hey, hey. So Hiyori, what do you want to play?"
"I'm satisfied if I can spend time with Hachiman-kun, so you don't have to worry about it, and if Hachiman-kun wants to do something else too, I'll go out with him.''
"Even if you say that...Ah, then I'd like to take the opportunity to ride a personal watercraft."
"Alright, I'm going to change into my swimsuit. Ryuen-kun, can I borrow that tent."
"Do whatever you want"
When Ryuen nods, Hiyori heads straight for the tent, and at the same time I hear Ryuen's laughter, so I turns my attention to him.
"I can't believe you changed Hiyori, who was so annoying yesterday with such a negative aura. She's already completely yours, isn't she?"
"I have no intention of treating Hiyori as property. Besides, I have received almost no important information from the C-class."
"I guess. Of course we don't talk about anything important when Hiyori is around. I'm not doubting both of you, but there might be someone eavesdropping on what you and Hiyori are saying."
"Don't you doubt me?"
"Of course. I don't think that someone more selfish than me would hand over C-class information to D-class."
You're a selfish bastard...well, I won't deny it.
"For now, if you don't have a swimsuit, feel free to borrow it. I'll rent a tent."
"Ah. The blue tent is the boys' tent and there are swimsuits there too, so use them."
"Thank you"
After bowing to Ryuen, I headed to the tent. Hiyori is no longer visible while I was looking at Ryuen, but I guess she's changing into a swimsuit in the black tent next door.
It would be bad if I was late and made her wait, so let's get changed quickly.
With that in mind, when I opened the entrance to the blue tent...
"...What?"
Hiyori was there, shirtless, trying to put on a swimsuit.
...What?
"Umm, Ryuen-san."
"What is it, Ishizaki?"
"…The blue tent is the girls' tent, right?"
"Of course. What, you don't even understand the tents used by boys and girls?"
"No, that's not true. Didn't you say that the blue tent in Hikigaya is the boys' tent?"
"Yeah. He probably didn't see which tent Hiyori went into when he was talking to me, so I just thought I'd tease him a little."
"...Is that so"
Ishizaki sees Ryuen laughing without any remorse, and feels sympathy for Hachiman and an interest in what will happen next.
The sight of a shirtless Hiyori trying to put on a swimsuit inside a blue tent was an incredible sight for me, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
Hiyori's breasts, who wasn't even wearing underwear, can't be said to be big, but they're very beautiful, and to be honest, I can't help but want to fondle them.
Since I started living with Hiyori, I've seen Hiyori in nightgowns, Hiyori in a maid outfit, and even once in her underwear.
All of them were either cute or erotic.
However, the image of Hiyori reflected in my eyes right now is so erotic that I can't help but stare at it.
There was silence for a while, but then Hiyori blushed, covered her chest with her hands, and opened her mouth.
Hiyori's shy hand bra is so erotic that I can't help but look away from her.
"Um, why are you here, Hachiman-kun? The boys' tent is the black one, right?"
"Huh? Is the boy's tent black? That means the blue tent is..."
"It's a girls' tent, isn't it?"
Ryūen! That bastard gave me false information!
You were probably hoping for this situation to happen, but seriously, don't kid yourself!
"Shit-It's okay. I'll leave for now."
"Oh, wait a minute."
When I tried to leave the room in a hurry, I was stopped before I could leave.
"W-what is it?"
"Um...this is embarrassing, but I've never worn a bikini-type swimsuit and can't tie the strings properly, so could you please tie them for me?"
Hiyori drops bombs like she always does.
As expected, I should probably refuse this.
I decided to open my mouth, but...
"Please. If I can't tie the knot, I won't be able to play with Hachiman-kun in the sea..."
Before I knew it, I was putting a lid on the wall of reason and tying a string around Hiyori's back.
"...I tied it."
"Thank you. So...does it suit me?"
Hiyori asked with a look of shame on her face. The swimsuit that Hiyori is wearing is a white bikini with a loose pareo tied around her waist.
To be honest, it's super cute. In this situation, if someone hugged me or kissed my forehead like usual, there was no need to ask any questions, and there was a possibility that I would lose my sense of reason.
"It suits you. It's cute and beautiful."
"Hehe, I'm glad. Hachiman-kun, please change your clothes too."
"ah"
I nodded and left the tent to find Ryuen grinning.
"Yo Hikigaya. Did you see Hiyori's naked body?"
"Die. Bastard, you lied to me that the blue tent is a boys' tent."
Luckily, Hiyori was the only one in the tent, but I think it would have been really bad if there had been any other girls besides Hiyori.
"My bad, my bad. I just made a mistake. Well, we're human, so we make mistakes, right?"
I'm so annoyed...
"I see. Then it can't be helped, Chuunibyou patient."
"...Huh?"
"No, since you're calling yourself a king, you're a chuunibyou, aren't you?"
As soon as I said that, the people behind Ryuen trembled while looking away from me and Ryuen, and Ryuen threw a knee kick without hesitation.
At the same time, I deliver a knee kick to Ryuen's knee.
As a result, I distance myself even though I hear a dull sound coming from Ryuen's feet.
"Sorry Hikigaya. My foot slipped."
"Then it can't be helped. Be careful next time."
I don't want to make a problem here.
Unlike when I provoked the Katsuragi faction here by calling it violence, since this is the base camp of the C-class's stronghold, the punchline is that it will be ignored.
In that case, I would appreciate it if you ended the conversation here.
"But you're quite skilled, aren't you? I thought you were the type to be mentally violent, just like Sakayanagi."
"No, I don't know. There's been a lot of trouble lately. After the violent incident you planned, I started learning martial arts and self-defense at a specialized club."
Judging from Ryuen's personality, he would probably use violence like he did now, so self-defense measures would be necessary.
If you think that far...
"Hachiman-kun. I know Hachiman-kun is training, but please don't be too reckless."
Hiyori, who is wearing a swimsuit, warns me.
"It's okay. Ryuen just slipped, so I'm not worried about it."
"That's fine, but please don't be reckless, okay? It's really painful to see Hachiman-kun hurt..."
"Well, I won't overdo it."
As I spoke, I patted Hiyori's head, and Hiyori whispered, "Then it's a promise..." and looked down.
I love that gesture so much that I can't bear it.
"Well, if Hikigaya isn't here, she gives a dark atmosphere, and if he's here, she gives us a sweet atmosphere....
I'll lend you my personal watercraft, so you can go around the island."
For some reason, Ryuen has an unusually surprised look on his face, and the students under him have nervous looks on their faces, but do they react that strangely?
In any case, if you can lend it to me, feel free to borrow it.
"Thank you, then wait while I change."
"Yes"
Hiyori nodded, so I went into the black tent, quickly changed my clothes, and left the tent.
Then, I ride a water bike that is just vacant...
(H-Hiyori's breasts...)
Hiyori hugs me from behind, and I can feel the soft touch on my back.
Hiyori usually hugs me, but since I'm shirtless, I can feel her softness even more than usual, which makes my heart flutter.
"Hachiman-kun, aren't you leaving?"
The person in question doesn't seem to be aware of hes own actions at all.
Natural Hiyori is really scary!
"Oh, that's too bad. I'm leaving now."
While saying this, I operate the watercraft, and take off while sprinkling water all around.
Of course, for safety's sake, I didn't go that fast, but I left the C class base camp at a faster speed than I could run and started going around the island.
"There's a strange cave."
"That's probably a good spot, but it's probably a difficult place to go without swimming."
You can find many other places that look like spots. Perhaps because we ride our bikes on the very edge of the island, we can get more information than when we were on a boat.
"Ah, there's Kamuro-san over there too."
Kamuro is walking on the beach with a girl who seems to be a classmate, but I guess they are looking for food or a spot.
"That's true. Let's give her a quick wave."
Hiyori waved lightly, so I waved lightly as well... Huh? She waved back at Hiyori, but I was the only one who she glared at me as hard as she could.
(Maybe I did something before I passed out yesterday?)
I couldn't help but think so.
(What's wrong with him...I couldn't sleep at all because of the kiss last night, and yet he's having fun with Shiina on a personal watercraft...even though he keeps calling me cute... !
This doesn't mean I like Hikigaya and am jealous of Shiina. I don't really care about Hikigaya...I don't really care.)
Kamuro-san made a scary face.
"K-Kamuro-san?"
"...What?!"
"N-nothing."
Masumi was in a completely displeased mood, and all the female classmate could do was reply.
