"I, I'm just a little cold."

There was something slightly strange in Horikita's tone when she replied, but Hikigaya didn't notice. Seeing Hikigaya was about to say something, Horikita interrupted him, "Besides, I'm not a child anymore! Today is the last day. Even if I have some health issues, I can get through it as long as I grit my teeth!"

Horikita didn't know why she was so angry about Hikigaya's concern, but she just felt inexplicably irritated. Hikigaya's concern always gave her the feeling of "a brother caring about his sister", which made Horikita very uncomfortable.

"Hey, Horikita, it's time to go."

As one of the students assigned to the mission, Ayanokouji, Yamauchi and others shouted Horikita's name loudly. Horikita looked back at Hikigaya and left quickly.

"This little stubborn donkey."

Hikigaya sighed helplessly. This stubbornness really made him feel like he was seeing his past self, and he regarded rejecting others as a proof of himself.

Hikigaya also had his own mission. This time he arrived early at the place where he had agreed to meet with Kamuro. This was the time they had agreed on yesterday.

"Hikigaya, several students in the class are indeed feeling unwell, but after taking medicine and getting enough rest, they are all fine now."

When they met, Kamuro reported what Hikigaya asked her to investigate.

Then Kamuro looked puzzled: "What's the point of investigating this?"

Hikigaya smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when the time comes. Of course, it depends on how you react to the situation."

Chapter 180: Each one is taking action.

"Pretending!"

Kamuro frowned, but in his heart he was very curious about what the boy in front of him was going to do. After all, today was his last chance.

"Kamiro, what would you do if my actions caused you the same loss?"

Hikigaya suddenly asked.

"What can I do? Of course it's my own fault!"

Kamuro's attitude surprised Hikigaya. He said as if it was a matter of course: "This was Sakayanagi's own request, so of course we will all bear the consequences together."

"I didn't expect you to see things so clearly."

Hikigaya looked at the purple-haired girl in front of him with a new respect. He had thought of many possible reactions from Kamuro, but he didn't expect that Kamuro would "gladly accept" the consequences, no matter whether it was good or bad in the end.

Hearing the other party's praise, Shen Shizhong unconsciously felt a sense of elated, but his face still had an impatient expression.

"I hope Sakayanagi can be as open-minded as you by then."

"hehe."

Kamuro couldn't help but sneer at this: "I don't know what your plan is, and I won't comment on the outcome, but if you mention Sakayanagi, then I can only say it's impossible!"

"She's so stingy!"

"Still holding a grudge!"

Hikigaya and Kamuro looked at each other and couldn't help laughing the next second.

Neither of them expected that they would unexpectedly agree on this point about Sakayanagi.

Afterwards, Hikigaya prepared to return to Class D's camp, but when he was halfway there, he noticed a thick smoke in the sky above Class D's camp. At the same time, when Hikigaya rushed back, Class D's camp was already in chaos.

The guidebook inexplicably caught fire. Although the fire was eventually put out, the boy and girl began to blame, curse and shirk responsibility for the fire, and the situation seemed to be getting worse.

Kushida can be seen busy at work, but she alone cannot solve the current emergency. Usually, Hirata can be seen in such situations, but Hikigaya did not find the "good guy" Hirata trying to stop the fight. Instead, he stood alone on the edge, watching everything in front of him in silence and indifferent.

Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After such a series of pressures, could Hirata finally not hold on any longer?

Hikigaya could see Hirata's lifeless, gray eyes, which was hard to imagine seeing in Hirata, the 'warm man' known as the central air conditioner.

Hikigaya walked up to Hirata and could clearly feel a cold aura emanating from him.

"What happened to Hirata? How long has this been going on?"

Hikigaya looked at the girl who had been standing not far from Hirata. Hikigaya had noticed her from the beginning. She should be the girl named Wang Meiyu.

"Okay, it seems like it's been about ten minutes since the fire started."

Wang Meiyu looked at the boy with a worried look on her face, who had given his all for the class but ended up being heartbroken and ignored by everyone.

"That's it."

Hikigaya walked up and called out to Hirata a few times, but Hirata still didn't respond, as if his spirit had sunk into a deep sea of endless confusion.

"It's going to break down after all."

Hikigaya muttered something, then said sorry in his heart, and suddenly punched Hirata in the abdomen. Hikigaya's action immediately made Wang Meiyu on the side exclaim in surprise, and at the same time, Hirata's face suddenly showed pain, and he couldn't help but squatted down with his hands covering his abdomen.

"Is this going to sober you up a bit, Hirata?"

Hikigaya looked expressionlessly at the boy opposite him who had recovered from his loss and despair.

"Are you okay, Hirata-san?"

Wang Meiyu quickly stepped forward to support Hirata. After Hirata stood up, he looked at the boy with dead eyes across from him with a wry smile: "Hikigaya-san, that punch of yours hurt too much."

"Also, thank you, classmate Wang Meiyu."

Hirata didn't forget to thank the girl beside him.

"I believe that by now you should have clearly seen what a mess this class is. Honestly, you've already done your best. There's no need to force yourself any further."

Hikigaya looked at the members of Class D who were still arguing in the distance and said, "You can choose to embrace these idiots and drown in your ideals, or stand aside and watch, and withdraw in time. It's up to you. As long as you don't regret every decision you make, it's fine. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Hikigaya left Class D's camp without looking back, leaving Hirata and Wang Meiyu looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Hikigaya-kun, you're really a weirdo."

Because suddenly only Wang Meiyu and Hirata were left, the girl immediately felt awkward and shy, and quickly tried to change the subject.

"Maybe so."

Hirata looked at Hikigaya's departing back and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I'm the weirdo in his eyes."

"Hirata-kun is not a weirdo!"

Wang Meiyu shouted anxiously, but then regretted it. Fortunately, Hirata didn't notice.

"Actually, Hikigaya-kun sees things more clearly and thoroughly than anyone else, but he is the one who is more persistent than anyone else."

Hirata sighed, took a deep breath, and walked towards the source of the quarrel.

"But as he said, don't regret the decisions you make."

……

"It's raining after all."

Not long after leaving Class D's camp, raindrops suddenly fell from the gray sky. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, but the drop in visibility and temperature caused by the rain was real.

After returning to the camp, Hikigaya not only discovered Hirata's abnormality, but also immediately looked for Ibuki. Sure enough, Ibuki was gone.

So he immediately rushed to the place where Ibuki hid the walkie-talkie. When Hikigaya finally arrived, he found that he was already a step too late.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Because of the rain, it was very difficult for Hikigaya to track Ibuki even if he wanted to, and he found that the rain seemed to be getting heavier.

There was no other way, Hikigaya had to find a place to shelter from the rain nearby. Coincidentally, he knew there was a place to shelter from the rain nearby, but that was the stronghold occupied by Class A. He learned about the distribution of Class A's stronghold from Kamuro, Hashimoto and others. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy here.

Not long after, Hikigaya arrived at Class A's base, but just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly stopped because he heard voices in front of him.

Hikigaya tried his best to conceal his own breath, bent down and moved forward. The rain that was originally a hindrance became a natural umbrella for Hikigaya, not only lowering the vigilance of the "acquaintance" who was talking in front, but also covering up Hikigaya's tracks very well.

"Hey, Katsuragi, this is evidence of the identities of the leaders of Class B and Class D!"

At this moment, Long Yuan's slightly hoarse but extremely proud voice came from the front.

181

Chapter 181: Respective transactions.

Even through the rain, Hikigaya could still hear Ryuuen's voice clearly.

The 'familiar people' at Class A's base ahead are none other than Ryuuen, Ibuki, and Katsuragi!

Hikigaya didn't expect that there would be a silver lining after a dark period. He originally wanted to find a place to hide from the rain, but unexpectedly he ran into it by chance.

Moreover, compared to Katsuragi and Ibuki, Ryuen's sportswear was covered in stains and his face was covered in stubble. He looked very disheveled, like a savage.

Looking at Ryuuen's attire, Hikigaya knew that he must have had a real experience of survival in the wild over the past few days.

"Hey, Katsuragi, this is evidence of the identities of the leaders of Class B and Class D!"

Ryuuen took out a photo and a green key card. Hikigaya had very good eyesight and the name on the key card was none other than Horikita's.

"How did Horikita's card end up in Ryuen's hands? Was it Ibuki? No, Horikita should have been on guard. Ibuki shouldn't have gotten it so easily."

When Hikigaya saw the key card that originally belonged to Horikita suddenly appear in Ryuuen's hand, many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he suppressed them one by one for the time being.

Katsuragi took the photo and nodded. "The leader of Class B is Shiranami Chihiro, but what about the key card from Class D? It's not what we agreed on. Ryuuen, don't you know it will be very troublesome if the school finds out?"

Katsuragi was obviously very dissatisfied with Ryuuen's behavior of "bringing" the key card. The risk of this thing was too high.

"I can't help it. Ibuki's camera seems to be having problems."

Ryuuen said this casually, seemingly not caring about the penalty mechanism of this exam at all.

Having trouble with your camera?

Hikigaya was slightly stunned, and suddenly he thought of the morning of the second day when Ibuki arrived at Class D's camp. If he remembered correctly... Ayanokouji was looking through Ibuki's backpack that day!

This means that not only did Ayanokouji discover Ibuki's abnormality a long time ago, but he also tampered with the digital camera in her backpack?

That's why even though Ibuki stole the key card, he couldn't take a picture of it with a digital camera. He could only take a huge risk and carry the key card with him until he handed it to Ryuuen, or Katsuragi.

As for why Longyuan would go to such lengths?

Of course, this is to make sure that Class B and Class D are guessed as leaders by Class A and Class C at the same time, so that 100 points can be deducted from the two classes, which will almost make the two classes suffer a crushing defeat in this special exam!

However, as mentioned before, Katsuragi is a very cautious and steady person. He will not easily believe other people's information, especially when that person is Ryuuen. That's why he used a digital camera to take a picture of the key card holder's name as evidence.

However, there was a small problem on Ibuki's side, but it did not affect the result in the end.

Hikigaya had already guessed what was going to happen after learning from Kushida that there was a digital camera in Ibuki's backpack, but there were some problems during the process. He didn't expect Ayanokouji to get involved.

What is his purpose?

At this moment, compared to completely guessing Ryuen's entire plan, Hikigaya was more curious about the actions and thinking of Ayanokouji. It was obvious that Ayanokouji should have seen through Ryuen's plan just like himself, so what would he do?

"Then according to the original agreement, the transaction is completed."

Katsuragi looked at Ryuuen and said in a deep voice.

"What kind of deal? So you, Ryuuen, teamed up with Class A?!"

Ibuki seemed shocked by Katsuragi's words, and it looked like she had no idea of Ryuuen's plan and was just a pawn following Ryuuen's orders to carry it out.

Since the deal was done, Ryuen had no intention of keeping it secret any longer and told Ibuki all his plans directly.

"Wait! Ryuuen, are you saying you sold 200 points worth of supplies to Class A?"

Ibuki's expression suddenly changed.

"Ok?"

Ryuen also noticed the change in Ibuki's expression.

"I have something very important to say."

Ibuki said with a strange look on his face, "I recently heard something from a fool named Yamauchi from Class D. Class D also transferred 100 points worth of materials to Class B!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. The next second, Long Yuan couldn't help but cover his forehead and laughed towards the sky.

"Hahaha!"

"Hey, Ryuuen!"

Ibuki frowned.

Ryuuen's laughter gradually faded, his face darkening to the point of dripping water, his tone filled with ferocity: "I didn't expect that the D class would pull such a trick!!!"

"But it doesn't matter. Class D is just a by-product."

Ryuen's expression quickly cleared, revealing a look of deep sarcasm. "Even if Class B can save 100 points, it won't matter. If two classes guess the leader, it'll all be for nothing. Haha, I'm really looking forward to seeing the miserable faces of those guys in Class B tomorrow! Don't you agree, Katsuragi?"
