A/N: This chapter takes place at the same time as the T-rex chapter but this time, we look at what the girls are doing.
Kaguya POV
It's the 3rd day and pretty much nothing has happened as of late. Nagumo hasn't even made a move yet, but we are keeping an eye out. I hope the boys aren't doing anything weird while we're continuing this mission.
The Class S girls, Karuizawa-san, Matsushita-san are still awake while the other girls are asleep. We're currently discussing whatever potential trouble that Nagumo might do. Class S are already well aware that Karuizawa is on our side as well as the Ayanokouji Group, so the Class S girls and I decided to also add Matsushita as well since even though she has average grades. Yumeko-san told me that she could potentially be holding back. Her talents might be put to good use.
"Hold on, you're saying that the president is up to something?" Matsushita-san asked
"That's right, Nanami-senpai told us that the second-year and third-year girls that are under Nagumo might plan something." I spoke
"Eh? how? I know Kiyotaka told me that he's bad news but how would he do anything here?" Karuizawa-san asked
"Wait, you've been hanging out with Ayanokouji-kun?" Matsushita-san asked
"Well.....yeah I suppose" she replied
"Ohhh is there something that you haven't told me about? I mean I heard that Sato-san was rejected recently by that same boy. Don't tell me yo..." before Matsushita-san could finish, Karuizawa-san covered her mouth
"Okay that's enough, anyways about what Nagumo was planning?" she asked as she changes the topic. I swear I'm sure given your incident with Kiyotaka-kun, you might actually like him.
*knock* *knock*
A soft knocking came right by the door. I wonder who it could be at a night like this?
"It's me, Nanami, anyone awake?"
"Ohh Nanami-senpai, please come in" Asuna-san said as she walked towards the door and opened it.
"Hey guys" Nanami-senpai greeted
"Oh, hi Nanami-senpai"
"Hey, senpai what are you doing here?" Karuizawa-san asked
"Oh, I just wanted to check on you, that's all" she replied
"I see"
"Hey Nanami-senpai, what's this plan that you had in mind" Shiro-san asked
"Well, to be honest I can't tell you guys yet, it would be too risky to discuss it while there's other people around plus, I have been trying to not mingle with Horikita-senpai for now since I would end up being Nagumo's 1st target for expulsion." she said
"Okay, I see what you mean"
"Anyways, how about we relax for a bit, you know let's not stress ourselves. Besides we should be enjoying this camping trip, right?" Nanami-senpai said
"That's right, we shouldn't worry about things like this, right girls?" Asuna-san asked
"Well, I suppose so" Matsushita-san replied
"Alright, so how about we play a game?"
"A game?" I asked
"That's right" Nanami-senpai said
"So, what's the game?" Yumeko-san asked with curiosity
"Let's play a game that I just made up, it's called Rankings"
"Rankings?" We all asked
"That's right, one of us will spin the bottle and whoever the bottle points to, will say a topic and we all come up with our own top 5 rankings of that specific topic. Simple right?"
We all nodded.
"Alright, luckily I brought a bottle with me so let's begin."
This is quite the interesting turn of events. Usually, I wouldn't partake in something like this but given that there's not much to do around here, I don't mind playing a game or two.
Nanami-senpai spins the bottle and the first person that the bottle pointed to was me.
"Ohh looks like you're going first Shinomiya-san" she said smiling
"Okay, let's see" I'm currently thinking about a topic that everyone can answer
"Got it, Top 5 best countries" 2
"Okay, I'll go first" Nanami-senpai said as she raised her hand
" I think my top 5 would be USA, South Korea, Switzerland, Singapore, and of course I never forget Japan which is number 1"
"Ohh that's cool, so what's the reason?" Karuizawa-san asked
"Well, Korea, US, and Singapore are no strangers to the gaming industries according to my research. Switzerland since I do want to try their delicious chocolates and Japan obviously because it is the birthplace of some of the biggest industries of gaming such as Nintendo, Sega, and Capcom" she answered
"Wow, that's interesting" Shiro-san said with a soft tone
"Wait so you chose those countries because their related to gaming and Switzerland is the only one with a different reason?" Matsushita-san asked
"Exactly, I enjoy playing video games a lot, so it makes sense and I also like eating sweets too" Nanami-senpai replied
The rest of us already made our answers and here's our rankings and their reason for it:
Kaguya (me):
#5: USA #4: UK #3: Spain #2: Italy #1: France
I chose these places because these would be one of the likely places I would visit, especially France since Miyuki and I wanted to go there at some point.
Karuizawa
#5: USA #4: France #3: Italy #2: Japan #1: South Korea
These are the countries she likes for various reasons. Of course, some points to note are that she wants to go to France since it has a lot of fashion brands. I just realized that Karuizawa is a gyaru and the fact that she enjoys fashion makes a lot of sense. Another to note is South Korea for the same reason and also boy bands from K-pop apparently. I've heard that they're trending but I'm not here to scream out my biases for no reason.
Shiro:
#5: USA #4: Italy #3: China #2: South Korea #1: Japan
For the same reason as Nanami-senpai, Shiro-san chose US, South Korea and Japan since they have one of the best gaming capitals in the world. China was an interesting choice since she explains about enjoying the complexity of different Chinese traditional games like Chinese Checkers, Mahjong, and Xiangqi (Chinese Chess).
Matsushita:
#5: USA #4: Canada #3: UK #2: Japan #1: South Korea
Nothing too crazy on her end. She just wants to visit these places in particular especially South Korea.
Yumeko:
#5: Italy #4: China #3: Canada #2: UK #1: USA
As crazy as it sounds. Yumeko chose these 5 places in particular because of their high gambling rate and the fact she mentions that Italy and the US have one of the best casinos in the world and China according to her has a place that is considered the gambling capital of the world which was Macau.
Asuna:
#5: South Korea #4: USA #3: France #2: Greece #1: Japan
Asuna-san's answers are just like the rest apart from Greece since she explained that the place is really nice, and she'd try to convince Kazuto to save enough money for a trip there especially in since she said she wants to go to Santorini.
"Alright that was fun" Nanami-senpai said
"Yeah, I guess it was" Karuizawa-san said
"Anyways let's spin again" Nanami-senpai spun the bottle and this time it landed on Karuizawa-san.
"Ohh so it's me huh?" she said while forming a smirk? why do I have a bad feeling about this?
"Generic topics are a bit boring so let's spice it up. The topic is: top 5 boys in this entire school"
-
-
"Ehhhh???" we all said in unison
"Wait where did this come from?" I asked
"Just like I said I want to spice things up. Alright who's first?" Karuizawa-san asked
We were all reluctant about that topic. Since we're talking about boys, things could get rough from here.
"Okay guess I'll go first" Nanami-senpai said
"Well, my 5th would be Shinomiya Kei-kun"
"Wait really? him?" I asked
"Isn't he the short boy from Class S?" Matsushita-san asked
"Yeah, I think Horikita-senpai told me about how he's one of the students from Class S that got 100 on every subject and he is a great leader who's very nice and supportive of his class."
"Woah, well this is interesting. So, who's your 4th?" Yumeko-san asked
"It's tough to say but I have to go with Sora-kun for 4th"
"Nii?"
"Oh yeah I remember you two are siblings right Shiro-san?" Nanami-senpai asked
"Yeah" Shiro-san replied
"Sora? you mean the spikey haired boy who barged into our classroom that one time?" Karuizawa-san asked
"I don't know about the barging part, but I chose him because he enjoys video games like me"
"Ohhhh"
"Well, you have been hanging out with him and his sister for a while now so it's understandable" Asuna-san said.
"My 3rd would be...hmmm"
"Huh? who is it?"
"Well, I can't tell you his name since you wouldn't be interested to get to know him anyway"
"What do you mean? he can't be that bad, besides we have to mention everyone in our rankings, right?" I asked
"Yeah but..." Nanami-senpai hesitated for a bit
"It's alright, besides we won't tell anyone about this, it's just between us who are playing and hopefully the ones who are sleeping aren't awake enough to listen" I said looking at the girls who are sleeping.
"Okay, well, all I can say that his name is Hinata-kun. He's a second year like me and he's from Class D. I hang out with him sometimes and play video games with him. But he sometimes says that he's not as talented or elite as the other students, so he felt very out of place according to him."
We are all unable to say a word. It's a boy that I've never heard of, but she seems to know him.
"Wait if you're saying he's not talented then why hang out with him?" Matsushita-san asked
"You see he's actually a nice guy, he would buy me snacks sometimes and we play video games whenever he had the time. You could say that I hung out with him longer than Sora-kun since he's #3 on my rankings." everyone seems to understand
"Okay then, who's number #2?"
"Of course, it would be the former president Horikita Manabu, since I do praise his work and he seems to acknowledge my intelligence and grades despite my constant gaming."
"Well, that makes sense, I mean he was the president after all" Asuna-san said
"And for #1?"
"Well, I have to give it to Ayanokouji-kun" Nanami-senpai said
"Really?!"
"Shhhh, Karuizawa-san keep it down" I said keeping her voice low
"But why?" she asked senpai
"As for him, I think out of the 5. I think he could be the best overall. He's just so mysterious and yet when I heard from Horikita-senpai about what he's capable of and seen it in action in the sports festival. I think he might just be the best student among everyone"
"Wow, you're that confident in Ayanokouji-kun huh?" Yumeko said
"I see, so here's a question, do you like him?" Matsushita-san asked teasingly
I can see the girls except Shiro-san change expressions and were giggling? I knew something like this would happen.
"Umm...I...I don't think I like him that much. I mean like him as a friend." Nanami-senpai replied
"Ohh good, keep it that way" Karuizawa-san sounded a bit jealous for some reason. Now I know something is up with her and Kiyotaka-kun
Without going into too much detail. Here are the rankings for each of us:
Kaguya (me)
#5: Karma #4: Light #3: Kei #2: Kiyotaka #1: Miyuki
Shiro
#5: Ryuzaki #4: Lelouch #3: Tatsuya #2: Kiyotaka #1: Sora
Matsushita
#5: Tatsuya #4: Karma #3: Light #2: Hirata #1: Kiyotaka
Karuizawa
#5: Yuuichi #4: Light #3: Tatsuya #2: Hirata #1: Kiyotaka
Yumeko
#5: Karma #4: Light #3: Kei #2: Kiyotaka #1: Sora
Asuna
#5: Karma #4: Light #3: Kei #2: Kiyotaka #1: Kazuto
From what I observed, most of our rankings consist of Class S. I guess we really are that popular. Some like Karuizawa-san and Matsushita-san said Tatsuya-kun is a smart and a handsome guy, understandable while for Shiro on the other hand had a different reason, which was he's good at technology. Light for most of us since he is quite popular and smart in school. Shiro chose Ryuzaki not just of his intelligence but the fact he gives her candy a lot sometimes, so I guess that also makes sense. Karma, same thing, looks and intelligence even if they somewhat see him as a psycho. Also, Kei-kun being chosen was also surprising since even though he's not much. I guess he managed to win them over with his leadership and his quirks.
The other surprising thing was Karuizawa-san chose Yuuichi-kun. The guy is as mysterious as the others, but she explained that he helped her deal with Manabe and the others, of course, I was there so I knew that. The Class C girls had both Hirata and Kiyotaka at #2 and #1 respectively. Hirata is understandable since he is the most popular boy in Class C but Kiyotaka-kun was unexpected at least for Matsushita-san. She doesn't know him that much and yet when did she became suddenly interested in him? Is she stalking him without us knowing? The rest were obvious with Shiro-san picking Sora-kun #1 and Asuna-san picking Kazuto-kun as #1 for the most obvious reason. I don't blame their bias; I mean I did put Miyuki-kun at #1 so we are even. Also, I'm shocked that Yumeko-san picked Sora-kun at #1. I guess she was hanging out with him and Shiro-san a lot with their little competition, so it makes sense
"Eh? what's the reason you chose Ayanokouji-kun at #1? You said he's a weird guy and suddenly you put him at #1 over your boyfriend?" Matsushita-san asked
"Well....I....ughh"
"She just found new respect for him, that's why. It was around the sports festival, you know, when he breezed through the obstacle course and that relay race when he beat the president." *phew* nice save Kaguya. I can't let even one Class C student even know that Karuizawa might actually have feelings for Kiyotaka-kun as I saw smirks forming on the faces of Shiro, Yumeko, and Asuna. Ohh right they also knew about it. Both Nanami-senpai and Matsushita-san were confused but they understood it at the end.
"Well, that was fun right?" Nanami-senpai asked
To be honest, at least it was fun. But I wonder, what are the boys even doing for fun right now?
