Could this be a woman's sixth sense?
"Speaking out in advance might have some influence, are you sure?"
"That's fine, as long as I know you're not just trying to please me."
Kamuro waved his hand.
Hikigaya was a little surprised. He didn't expect Kamuro to be so easily dismissed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But there is one thing I need your help to pay attention to..."
Kamuro had a strange expression on his face after hearing this, but he didn't intend to ask any more questions. Just as he was about to leave, Hikigaya seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "Oh, one more question."
"I say, can't you just finish what you want to say in one go?"
Kamuro said impatiently: "Tell me, what's the matter."
"It's about Yang...Yukinoshita. Has she done anything unusual?"
The only variable that Hikigaya was worried about was not Katsuragi or Ryuen, but Haruno, who had been silent until now.
Kamuro's expression changed slightly when he heard Haruno's name, but he quickly returned to normal. At the same time, he tried hard to recall Haruno's actions in the past few days. There was nothing unusual. She basically followed the tasks assigned by Katsuragi, just like an ordinary student, and did not do anything particularly out of the ordinary.
Although he should be very happy, Hikigaya had a vague bad feeling and hoped that it was just his illusion.
"besides……"
As soon as Hikigaya opened his mouth, he saw Kamuro across from him with his eyebrows raised, as if to say "is this ever going to end?"
"This is really the last one."
Hikigaya pretended not to understand Kamuro's expression and quickly said, "Have Katsuragi and the others mentioned the matter about Class D and Class B to your classmates?"
"What happened between Class D and Class B?"
Kamuro looked confused. "What do you mean? Ever since Katsuragi received 200 points worth of supplies from Class C, he's been choosing the most conservative strategy. He's basically only concerned about the students in Class A. Especially with Hashimoto and me, the Sakayanagi faction's surveillance, we have to be extremely careful whenever we go out, because we don't know if we'll be followed and monitored by Katsuragi's faction."
"I understand. Thanks, Kamuro."
Hikigaya's main purpose was to find out from Kamuro whether Katsuragi had actually announced that Class D had transferred materials worth 100 points to Class B.
Judging from Kamuro's reaction, it is obvious that Katsuragi and Totsuka suppressed this matter, probably because they were worried that it would have a bad impact on Class A.
Afterwards, Hikigaya returned to Class D's camp and quietly waited for Ibuki's action. Ibuki's goal was to find the leader of Class D, and he believed that the other party would take action soon.
As expected, early in the morning on the fifth day on the uninhabited island, Hikigaya and most of the boys were woken up by the noisy voices of girls outside. Hirata also woke Hikigaya up with a serious and nervous look on his face.
"Hirata, what's going on?"
"Hikigaya-kun, ah, anyway, things are very troublesome, please help wake up all the boys in the class."
Hirata didn't say what happened, he just woke up each boy one by one.
When Hikigaya came outside the tent, he saw that many girls had gathered together, led by Karuizawa and other girls who were staring at the boys with anger. On the other side, Kushida seemed to be comforting Shinohara who was crying. Many boys were surprised to see this scene. After all, Shinohara was a very strong and arrogant person in the class. It was surprising to see Shinohara crying.
Seeing the boy's gloating look, the girls, led by Karuizawa, could no longer hold back and started cursing at the boy.
At this time, everyone finally understood what had happened. It turned out that Shinohara's underwear was stolen!
"The underwear thief must be you boys, get out now!"
"Yes, what a filthy bunch!"
Faced with the verbal abuse from Karuizawa and others, the boys were suddenly enraged. No one could stand being treated as an underwear thief, so a group of people started to curse at each other!
178
Chapter 178: What a stupid teammate.
The girls insisted that someone on the boys' side stole their underwear, but the boys retorted that the girls were slandering them.
"How could we possibly steal underwear? You're clearly wronging us!"
Chi expressed his dissatisfaction very loudly.
The next second, Chi was surrounded by the girls.
"Ichi, I remember you and Shinohara often quarreled before. Are you holding a grudge against me..."
Chi's face suddenly froze and he tried to explain himself in panic. This kind of thing was like yellow mud falling in the crotch of your pants. If you are not careful, you can't wash it out no matter how hard you try!
At this time, Hirata finally showed his true role. Relying on his prestige and popularity among the girls, he barely suppressed the riot, but in return he had to check the boys' luggage.
This can be said to be the best solution at present, but in the eyes of many boys, Hirata's behavior is undoubtedly a "betrayal". Isn't this a veiled admission that boys are underwear thieves?
Although Hikigaya also felt that Hirata's approach was somewhat biased, the current situation was not to discuss whether the method was right or wrong. Instead, the problem should be solved first, and then the discussion of right or wrong could begin. If the situation was allowed to develop, it would very likely develop into mutual opposition and hatred between the boys and girls, which would be the worst outcome.
Especially since the group exam is still going on, there is a possibility that the class will collapse, which will ultimately lead to the failure of this special exam.
And the impact is not just on this group exam, it will also have unpredictable consequences in the future.
However, Hikigaya was speaking without any concern. He didn't care what would happen to the class anyway. But Hirata had taken care of and helped him so many times, and Hikigaya didn't want to see Hirata finally collapse.
"It's just that this matter is too strange."
Hikigaya subconsciously looked for the figure of a girl with short blue hair, who was watching the development of the situation with cold eyes. Could it be Ibuki?
The underwear stealing incident did cause a huge chaos and completely disrupted Class D's plan for today. It was a very good opportunity to fish in troubled waters!
At this time, Hirata had taken the lead in opening his backpack to prove his innocence. He was also the first to take the lead, so the other boys had no reason to refuse, otherwise they would be labeled as suspicious and criminals.
and many more!
Hikigaya opened his luggage quickly as if he had thought of something, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing like that inside. He knew very well how much he was hated in Class C, and it was not impossible for the other party to take the opportunity to retaliate against him.
But Ike, who was not far away, turned pale when he opened his backpack and quickly closed it in a panic. Hikigaya saw this scene clearly and his face became strange.
If I remember correctly, Chi was the one who shouted the loudest just now!
Hikigaya almost couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
At this time, Yamauchi and Ayanokouji seemed to have discovered Ike's abnormality. At the same time, Karuizawa and others came out of the boy's tent after checking the backpack. At the same time, because the backpack had been checked, Karuizawa and others did not give up. They said that the backpack was not there, but it did not mean that it might be hidden on the body, so they asked Hirata to check the boy's clothes.
Hearing this, Ike's face suddenly became panicked, and then the next scene shocked Hikigaya.
Hikigaya saw it clearly. This guy Ike actually forced his underwear onto another person. That person was none other than Ayanokouji!
"Ayanokouji, this is what you owe me for the last surveillance incident! After this, we owe each other nothing!"
Ike said this matter-of-factly in Ayanokouji's ear.
After saying that, Chi immediately turned around and shouted at Karuizawa: "Check it if you want, I haven't done anything wrong, just come on!"
Ike looked like he had a clear conscience, but Ayanokouji beside him had an ugly expression on his face, as if he had eaten shit. This was probably the first time Hikigaya saw such an expression on the face of Ayanokouji, the expressionless man.
Perhaps he noticed something, but Ayanokouji's gaze happened to meet Hikigaya's, and the two looked at each other in silence.
So why did Ayanokouji want to be the 'little brother' of this stupid duo?
This was the only thought in Hikigaya's mind: it was all his own fault.
However, Hikigaya was puzzled. Why didn't Ayanokouji resist? Was he just putting up with this idiot duo because they were his 'protective color'?
But he should be very clear about the serious consequences of this matter. Ayanokouji's behavior and thinking patterns are sometimes very sophisticated and sharp, but sometimes he will come up with some confusing and "degrading" operations.
Soon after Hirata finished searching Ike's clothes, he looked smug and provocative towards the girl opposite, as if to say 'see, I didn't lie, you all said you were slandering me'.
But little did he know that Ayanokouji behind him was watching this scene with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At the same time, Hirata had already arrived in front of Ayanokouji. Because of Ike's deliberate provocation, not only did he attract all the girls' attention, but he also didn't give Ayanokouji much time to get rid of his underwear. It can only be said that he is a really stupid teammate!
What surprised Hikigaya and Ayanokouji was that when Hirata was searching Ayanokouji, he should have noticed the underwear in Ayanokouji's pocket, but Hirata acted as if nothing had happened and turned to Karuizawa and the other girls to indicate that he had found nothing.
Although he had expected it, Hirata's action still made Hikigaya frown deeply.
It can be said that Hirata took the overall situation into consideration and did not reveal the fact that the underwear was on Ayanokouji, but from another perspective, there is a suspicion that Hirata deliberately covered up the matter.
This is not to say that Hirata's approach is wrong, but Hirata's way of thinking makes Hikigaya feel very uncomfortable. It's not like "he thinks Ayanokouji is not the criminal, so he chooses to conceal it", but more like "no matter who he finds underwear on, he will choose to conceal it."
Good guy, smooth things over, cowardly, compromising...
These words are not enough to describe the characteristics of Hirata. Hirata's behavior gives Hikigaya a very subtle sense of déjà vu, as if he is atonement?
And Hikigaya seemed to have seen it on someone else.
Suddenly, Hikigaya noticed Karuizawa's gaze, and for a moment their eyes met, but Hikigaya unexpectedly understood the complexity and hesitation in Karuizawa's eyes.
Are you trying to take this opportunity to throw dirty water on yourself?
This thought instantly flashed through Hikigaya's mind, but surprisingly... Karuizawa just dodged Hikigaya's gaze in panic and did not make the expected move.
In the end, no underwear was found on the boys' side, but the girls couldn't just let this matter go, so they planned to completely separate the living areas of boys and girls, and draw clear boundaries between the areas.
However, moving the tents and luggage was a lot of work, so at Horikita's suggestion, Ayanokouji was forced to join in the labor.
But because the criminal was never found, the conflict between the boys and girls did not end. It was just suppressed because of Hirata. Just a little friction or spark, and this powder keg would explode again.
179
Chapter 179: Little Stubborn Donkey.
The uproar caused by this underwear stealing incident was huge, and the impact was more serious than expected. It can be said that it completely divided and opposed the boys and girls in Class D.
Especially girls like Karuizawa, they occupied the moral high ground because of this incident. When Shinohara, the victim, learned that the criminal had not been found, she directly cursed at the boys. It seemed that her previous "crying" was more like a means to gain sympathy.
Faced with people like Karuizawa who have the moral advantage, boys dare not provoke them too much. This is the weapon called morality. You can say it is useless, but you can also say it is invincible.
At least for now, these fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school students are unwilling to bear the stigma of "underwear thieves" and don't even want to be associated with it. After all, similar things have happened in today's society, and they will be subjected to all the malice of the outside world. Even if they are found to be innocent in the end, they will only receive a mild private slap.
"Hey, do you know who the criminal is?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Hikigaya. It was Ibuki, who had just been watching the development of the situation with an indifferent expression. Ibuki had walked to Hikigaya's side at some point and accused him angrily.
"You guys are really disgusting."
"So Ibuki, you also think the criminal is a boy?"
"Apart from boys, is there anyone else who would do such a thing as stealing underwear?"
Ibuki clicked his tongue, seeming to be very disdainful of Hikigaya's explanation.
"There are many possibilities for girls. For example, they may have some special fetish, or they may be seeking revenge. Or maybe this underwear thief is just trying to cause chaos in Class D."
Hikigaya looked straight at Ibuki as he spoke, but Ibuki didn't try to dodge. He also looked straight into Hikigaya's eyes, without any panic or uneasiness on his face. Instead, he said directly: "As expected of you, you are really a conspiracy theorist. It was clearly the fault of you boys, but when you say it, it becomes an internal conflict among the girls. This ability to confuse right and wrong is really disgusting. But it was precisely this kind of disgusting guy who killed the even more disgusting guy Ryuuen."
"It seems that you, Ibuki, have a deep grudge against me?"
Hikigaya wasn't angry at all, instead he chuckled: "Ryuuen has already returned to the cruise ship, why are you still here to suffer with us and then serve as free labor?"
Ibuki glared at Hikigaya and said, "None of your business is my fault. I'm a man who will repay a favor and a vengeance. Although I really dislike you as a liar, Class D took me in when I was all alone in the woods. This is my way of repaying that debt of gratitude!"
"I see."
Hikigaya suddenly realized that if he had only listened to Ibuki's words, his impression of her would definitely have changed. However, Hikigaya became more and more certain that Ibuki was the culprit of the riot. Ibuki's disguise and acting skills were indeed excellent, but her psychological quality was still slightly inferior.
She shouldn't have come to find him.
Ibuki suddenly approached her to talk to her, as if to show off her achievements on purpose, and at the same time hoped to see her, the 'guy she hated', being fooled.
Not long after Ibuki left, Horikita suddenly came to Hikigaya's side, looked in the direction Ibuki left, and said: "It seems that the criminal can no longer hold back."
"I thought you would expose it publicly."
"I would like to do the same, but unfortunately I have no evidence."
After such a big commotion, Horikita's first reaction was that someone was trying to take advantage of the situation, and the first person she thought of was Ibuki. Unfortunately, she only had suspicions but no evidence.
"But this also proves one thing: Class C is finally losing their patience."
Horikita said affirmatively.
Until the evening, because the criminal had not been found yet, the entire Class D was plunged into a very strange atmosphere. However, even Hirata did not have a good solution for this kind of thing. After all, in such a serious matter, Hirata's attempts to smooth things over were completely useless.
This also shows from another perspective that Hirata is a good guy and his method of smoothing things over can only solve small daily conflicts. When faced with serious and bad incidents like the current one, Hirata can only play a buffering role, not treating the root cause. Instead, all the resentment that has been buried and accumulated because of his "smoothing things over" has suddenly burst out.
Class D spent the fifth day on the uninhabited island in an extremely depressing atmosphere.
The next day was the sixth day on the uninhabited island. The special examination on the uninhabited island would end tomorrow morning on the seventh day, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that today could be considered the last day of the examination.
The weather in the first five days was sunny and bright, but today it was cloudy and the sky was gray, which seemed to foreshadow the bad atmosphere in Class D yesterday.
Even after a night, there was still no improvement. The morning of Class D was spent in a very depressing atmosphere. Hikigaya glanced at Ibuki and found that he was really able to keep his composure. Then he looked at the others, and when he suddenly saw someone, his face couldn't help but darken.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Hikigaya noticed that Horikita looked particularly bad today. Could it be that overwork caused her illness to relapse?
