After Hirata came out of the tent, he immediately stretched, loosened his body, and yawned. It seemed like he had slept well.
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Ayanokouji, then at Hirata.
"Hirata, listen to me. I just saw Ayanokouji going through Ibuki's bag."
Hirata, who was feeling comfortable from his sleep, immediately stiffened upon hearing Kamio Tatsuya's words.
Then he looked at Ayanokouji next to him with disbelief.
He didn't doubt what Kamio Tatsuya said, because it wasn't a small matter, and he felt that Kamio Tatsuya wouldn't joke about such a thing.
"I..."
Even Ayanokouji was confused, because Kamio Tatsuya seemed like he would keep it a secret.
But why did you turn around and tell Hirata about it?
"Ayanokouji, I can understand you being interested in girls at your age, but..."
Huh? I get the point.
But why are you saying the same thing as Kamio?
Am I still dreaming?
"Horikita thinks Ibuki is suspicious, so she made me look for evidence. I was forced by her."
Good job, pushing it all on Horikita.
Although Kamio Tatsuya didn't believe it at all, Hirata looked like he understood.
"Is that so? Did you find anything special?"
"I didn't find anything special."
Yeah, right.
"Anyway, I'll pretend I don't know about this. Kamio, please keep it a secret as well."
Clearly, Hirata didn't want to make a big deal out of it, because it wouldn't be good for Ayanokouji or Ibuki.
Kamio Tatsuya shrugged, indicating that he had no objections. He had only told Hirata on a whim, wanting to tease Ayanokouji a little.
If this matter really blew up, Chabashira, that dog teacher, would definitely have something to say.
Before successfully leaving Class D, Kamio Tatsuya didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"In that case, I'll go wash up first. Ayanokouji, do you want to join me?"
Seeing that Kamio Tatsuya agreed, Hirata felt relieved, not suspecting that Kamio Tatsuya was just saying it to get him off his back. What an honest kid.
While Ayanokouji and Hirata were gone, Kamio Tatsuya opened the package with the unusual color.
Yeah, it was Ibuki's package.
What's this...
A camera?
She really is a spy. So why didn't Ayanokouji say anything?
But what is Ibuki doing with a camera?
If she wanted to find the leader of Class D, she could just use her own eyes, right? Ryuen sent her, which means he trusts her.
So, why?
Before Kamio Tatsuya could finish thinking, Hirata and Ayanokouji returned, looking more energetic than before, with slightly damp hair. It seemed like they had washed their faces.
"Kamio, we ran into Kanzaki from Class B while we were washing up. He told us the Class B campsite and said Ichinose welcomes you to visit Class B."
"Me?"
Kamio Tatsuya pointed at himself.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but he definitely said you. Do you and Ichinose get along really well?"
Well, I can't say we don't.
"Yeah, we're okay. In that case, I'll go take a look after roll call, and also gather some information. By the way, where's the Class B campsite?"
Since Ichinose was so enthusiastic, Kamio Tatsuya was happy to go.
Besides, he could tell her who the leader of their class is, and there's nothing wrong with weakening the class together.
Ever since he learned about the competition rules of this school, Kamio Tatsuya had an idea: It's not necessarily true that the strongest class will become Class A.
Only the class that can withstand the combined forces of three other classes and still win can secure the top of Class A.
Unfortunately, not many people in the first year seem to understand this.
Especially those idiots in Class A.
In that case, let me give you a lesson.
"According to Kanzaki, it's at a well campsite. Go along the path in this direction, and on the way back to the beach, there will be a giant broken tree. Enter the forest southwest from that tree, and the Class B campsite is up ahead."
Kamio Tatsuya nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Should I find someone to go with you? It would be a little safer with two people."
Honestly, Kamio Tatsuya wasn't too willing, because he still had to meet with Ryuen from Class C later.
"It's not necessary. I discovered it when I went out to explore yesterday. This is a man-made island, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Besides, even if something bad happens, I still have this."
As he said that, he raised the watch on his hand.
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Hirata could only nod.
At eight in the morning, after Chabashira-sensei called roll, Kamio Tatsuya left the campsite and headed towards the Class B campsite according to Kanzaki's directions.
On the way, Kamio Tatsuya was thinking about Ibuki's purpose for bringing the camera. Since Ryuen sent her out as a spy, he must trust her.
If she just wanted to know the leader of Class D, she could just go to Ryuen and tell him.
The camera's existence means that she wants to take evidence that's a sure thing.
So who is this evidence for?
It definitely isn't for Class D. It's hard to imagine it would be for Class B, so it can only be for Class A?
Ryuen said he wanted to work together to take down Class A, but he hooked up with Class A in the blink of an eye.
No... Maybe the two aren't contradictory.
Since Kanzaki gave very specific directions, the place was pretty easy to find.
As soon as Kamio Tatsuya arrived, he was discovered by a Class B student. He had met him before. It was Kanzaki from Class B, Kanzaki Ryuji, Ichinose's second-in-command.
"You must be Kamio. Ichinose was right, you really came."
Kamio Tatsuya nodded. They were both outdoor tests, but the gap between Class B and Class D was too big.
The Class B students didn't seem tense about the test at all.
"Are you guys here for a picnic?"
Kanzaki Ryuji was stunned for a moment, then a proud smile appeared on his face. He had also gone to see the Class D campsite before roll call.
Frankly speaking, he felt that his class's situation was better than Class D's.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Then, Kanzaki Ryuji led Kamio Tatsuya to Ichinose.
"Good morning, Kamio."
Kamio Tatsuya was just about to say hello when he saw a guy with a different color among a pile of backpacks nearby.
"Did someone from Class C also come to your class for help?"
"Also?" Ichinose tilted her head. "Does Class D have one too?"
"Yeah, a girl named Ibuki. When our class students found her yesterday, her face was swollen really bad."
Kamio Tatsuya's tone was playful.
"Our class has a boy named Kaneda. He was beaten up for opposing Ryuen," Ichinose explained, then looked around and pointed at a boy. "That's Kaneda."
The boy Ichinose pointed to was skinny, wore glasses, and had a golden mushroom head. He was helping out at the Class B campsite at the moment.
Yeah, he looked like a spy.
But compared to Ibuki, who didn't do anything, this guy was actually doing something.
Ryuen is really amazing. He figured that the people in Classes B and D wouldn't ignore these stranded people.
So he openly sent out spies.
"Hey Ichinose, haven't you considered the possibility that he's a spy?"
"Ahaha, some students have brought up that possibility, but even so, I can't just leave him alone."
Ichinose's laugh was a bit awkward, while Kanzaki next to her looked a bit helpless.
Yeah, it must have been you, Kanzaki, who brought up the possibility that Kaneda is a spy.
"Besides, we'll be prepared. If Kaneda is a spy, then it's like we're fighting Class C."
Yeah, I see, Kamio Tatsuya understood what she meant.
Since Ryuen sent Kaneda over, it means that Ryuen has challenged Class B, and Class B's soft heart forces them to accept the challenge.
The two sides are now fighting a battle revolving around the spy whose identity has already been revealed - Kaneda.
Ryuen needs to use Kaneda to find the leader of Class B, while Class B needs to hide the leader's identity under Kaneda's watch.
At first glance, it seems like Class B has a forty-to-one advantage, but in reality, even if Kaneda fails, it wouldn't matter much.
But if Class B fails, then the losses would be terrible.
It's hard to say who has the advantage and who has the disadvantage.
Oh, by the way, if Kaneda is also a spy, then he should have that thing in his backpack - a digital camera.
Should I tell Ichinose?
Never mind, I should say something. If I want to go to Class B in the future, I can improve my standing in advance.
"I suggest you take a look at Kaneda's bag."
"Eh? Why?"
How am I supposed to explain this to you? Am I supposed to tell you that I saw a camera in Ibuki's bag, so I suspect that Kaneda might have one too?
Going through a girl's bag would make me look like a pervert.
"I can't say the specific reason, but I think there should be decisive evidence in Kaneda's bag that he's a spy."
I've reminded you about what I can remind you. What you do after this is Ichinose's decision. Kamio Tatsuya isn't their nanny, and he doesn't need to do everything for them.
Then, Kamio Tatsuya followed Ichinose on a tour of the Class B campsite. All I can say is it's much better than the Class D campsite.
Even though they were spending about the same amount of points - 70 - Kamio Tatsuya just felt that the living environment in Class B was much better than in Class D.
For example, Class D spent more points to buy two tents, while Class B chose to buy ropes and cloth, and then they made their own hammocks.
How I wish I could have that!
Then you don't have to squeeze into a tent with others.
"By the way, I have a piece of information for you as a bonus."
Before leaving, Kamio Tatsuya said to Ichinose.
"Information?"
"Yeah, I found out that the leader of Class A is called Totsuka Yahiko, the little follower of Katsuragi. As for whether you want to write down his name on the last day, that's up to you."
"Yeah, I understand. I'll write down Totsuka's name."
...
Looking at the straightforward Ichinose, Kamio Tatsuya didn't know what to say.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"
Kamio Tatsuya couldn't help but ask.
"I believe you, Kamio. If you hadn't warned me last time, I probably would have fallen into Ryuen's trap back then."
Ichinose's expression was smiling, but she was very serious.
"So even if you're lying to me this time, I'll still write down Totsuka Yahiko's name."
Ichinose's words left Kamio Tatsuya speechless.
Wow~ how can there be someone like this?
Kamio Tatsuya never minds suspecting his enemies with the greatest malice, but Ichinose is the exact opposite.
She's practically a saint.
Seeing Ichinose's expression, Kamio Tatsuya's expression became very complicated.
He never thinks of himself as a good person, but he has the respect for truly good people!
"Ichinose, if you keep acting like this, you'll get hurt sooner or later."
"Ehehe, then I'll worry about it when the time comes."
Ichinose had a bright smile on her face.
Well, since you said that, then I guess that time isn't too far away.
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Kaneda, who was still busy at the Class B campsite. Next, he'll go to Class C to take a look.
