"Huh? Who would stare at the people in Class C for no reason?" Rolling her eyes, Masumi Kamuro retorted, "So, do you have any evidence?"

Before Sakayanagi Arisu could respond, she suddenly said, "Wait, let me send someone to the boys' tent to wake them up."

She wandered around the camp and found Onito Hayabusa, who was on night watch, and relayed Sakayanagi Arisu's instructions.

Soon, some rustling sounds came from the boys' tent. Hashimoto and Katsuragi, rubbing their eyes, pulled back the absorbent cloth curtain and came out.

Hashimoto yawned slightly, a hint of resentment in his voice, while Katsuragi remained as calm and collected as ever.

Leading the three, Kamuro Masumi complied with the request of Majima Tomoya, who was accompanying her, after Sakayanagi Arisu approached her.

They woke up their sleeping homeroom teacher.

"......report?"

"Do you have any evidence?" Majima Tomoya asked, frowning, just like Kamuro Masumi. "If you don't have any evidence, don't bother people in the middle of the night."

Although they don't need to work like students, accompanying someone is still a rather energy-consuming activity.

Monitor students to confirm whether they have violated any rules, and ensure that students can be located promptly using their location if there is any indication of their safety.

He was so busy looking after the students during the day that he should have been resting at night.

As a result, Sakayanagi Arisu started causing trouble in the middle of the night, making him work overtime.

Even Majima Tomoya harbored a little resentment.

More importantly, if there is no certainty about the matter when reporting it, it could become a handle used against the other party.

As the class advisor, he didn't want to see himself being complained about because he received a report but couldn't find anything.

"No."

"That--"

“But I have personal points,” Arisu Sakayanagi said with a smile. “I can use my personal points as collateral.”

"After all, there's nothing you can't buy with personal points at this school, right?"

This is her usual tactic; it doesn't matter if there's no evidence, and it doesn't matter if the search doesn't find any signs of wrongdoing.

It simply means deducting personal points.

As long as this point is stated in advance, 'whistleblowing' becomes a universal offensive tactic.

“…I understand.” After a moment of silence, Majima Tomoya nodded: “After reporting to the school, I will search Class C to confirm whether they have illegally disembarked with supplies that were not purchased from the list.”

"If the report is true, Class C will receive the punishment they deserve."

Chapter 209 Horikita, aren't you being a little too funny?

While Sakayanagi Arisu lay asleep, waiting for the perfect opportunity to do her good deed, the revelry in Class D continued for a long time.

Having put an end to the criticism of the special exam itself, they began to fully enjoy their real 'cruise vacation'.

After all, most of the services on the cruise ship are provided free of charge by the school.

For the impoverished students of Class D, enjoyment is essential.

So, Horikita Suzune pulled Kushida Kikyo along to the SPA area, which they hadn't tried that morning because of their anxiety.

A fragrant aroma permeated the entire room. The girl's graceful figure lay on the bed, a towel covering her body, obscuring what was not visible.

The female masseuse's large hands vigorously massaged their stiff shoulders and necks.

"Splash splash splash—"

The fluttering pages of the book unfolded before the girls' eyes.

Without requiring users to manually turn pages, it will automatically display today's updated content for them.

That being said, Horikita Suzune actually prefers to flip things over herself by hand.

But today, let it turn on its own.

"..."

The negotiations among the three parties were basically over. After transferring ownership of the supplies and completing the inventory, they naturally all returned to the cruise ship.

After all, they're not taking exams, so why should they stay on the island and suffer?

Moreover, without reward points, even eating is a problem; if you want to stay, you can only find a class to freeload off.

Who would willingly bear the burden of another person's food expenses for no reason?

...That means it's Ichinose and the others.

Okay, okay, she admits, she was indeed frustrated, disappointed because of the frustration, and unwilling to stay on the island any longer because of the disappointment.

That's why I obediently followed my classmates back to the ship.

But she did not fail; at least in her negotiations with Arisu Sakayanagi, she successfully negotiated a deal worth 1.5 million personal points.

Her classmates recognized her abilities and were very happy, saying that Sakayanagi Arisu was a real sucker.

You should know that Class A received 120 points of supplies, but was only given one million.

Sakayanagi Arisu took 75 points of supplies and was given 1.5 million yen. Isn't that being a sucker?

Of course, Horikita Suzune was well aware that the two could not be simply compared. In the end, Ichinose only needed about thirty points of supplies. The reason for giving one hundred and twenty points was purely Hirata Yosuke's arbitrary judgment.

Show goodwill? Or relinquish the initiative?

In short, that's roughly what happened.

She and her classmates unanimously chose cash settlement instead of the long-term benefits based on trade point concessions.

This is certainly not because Horikita Suzune is short-sighted, but rather a very real problem.

The payback period is too long.

The idea of ​​a steady, long-term relationship is true. If we consider the breadth of time, such as life itself, the more gradual and long-term the relationship, the more worthwhile the transaction becomes.

But their high school career lasts only three years, or thirty-six months.

More than three months have passed now, and although there are still more than thirty months to go, no one can guarantee the future.

More importantly, Horikita Suzune became increasingly aware that personal points were an important resource.

The diary also mentioned that personal points are very important.

They must have a certain number of personal points.

If she doesn't earn some personal points... she won't even be able to pay back the money she owes to Kikyo Kushida.

Fortunately, her choice was right. Her classmates had no objections and even recognized her abilities.

As for Kikyo Kushida, who went to Class C for a trade under the same conditions...

Her deal certainly didn't fail.

Long Yuanxiang sneered and readily agreed to the deal.

It's important to know that if there were no other food sources, a class would need to spend at least 100 points to buy meals from the school in order to meet its dietary needs.

Although they brought some compressed biscuits, they could also find wild fruits in the forest or choose to go fishing in the sea.

But no matter how frugal you are, you still need to spend about fifty cents on food.

If we could save money to avoid this need, that would be ideal.

However, when the cunning and greedy Ryuen Sho meets the lazy and unmotivated Kushida Kikyo.

The negotiations ended easily and effortlessly.

750,000.

One cent equals ten thousand.

As long as Kikyo Kushida cries and complains about how shameless and excessive Ryuen Sho is, and how much she tolerates his malice.

Everyone will readily forgive her for receiving the least reward.

It is precisely because of Ryuen Sho's contrast that everyone feels that Ichinose is not that dark-skinned, and that Sakayanagi Arisu is a really good person who is being taken advantage of.

Although she's a bit arrogant, this rich girl has a very broad mind.

...Although this openness is not the same as that openness.

The island's affairs and the trade of supplies were put aside. Although she withdrew from the exam, Horikita Suzune was still quite concerned about other developments in the special exam.

In particular, what kind of evaluation will the diary give of today's exam, and what kind of evaluation will it give of her actions?

This is something she cares about very much.

She had been thinking about it for a long time.

So the moment the diary was opened, Horikita Suzune's eyes were fixed on the black text on it.

"..."

Today's diary seems to be a summary of the first day's exam on the deserted island?

Proudly flaunting the strength of the people she had chosen, she pretended to sigh for the classes that were trampled underfoot by Class A, and pointed fingers at Sakayanagi Arisu.

then.

That's going to extremes.

Looking at the scenes described in the diary, Horikita Suzune felt despair even after just a moment's thought.

If things turn out that way, they might not even be able to exchange supplies for other classes and end up spending their pleasant seaside vacation empty-handed.

Because Class D of Year 1 doesn't have any other capital that can be used for transactions.

And obviously, Class A, which has already gone to such lengths, won't offer as generous terms as they have today.

You should know that if things really develop as described in the diary, only two classes will be able to stay on the island in the end.

In other words, even if they wanted to sell supplies, they could only trade with two classes.

Horikita Suzune could only see the ending where she was completely exploited and drained of her strength.

"......call."

Thankfully, he didn't actually do that; he just sent Asakusa Toru to occupy the vast majority of the strongholds.

But perhaps in some ways it would be better to do it that way.

Because that would mean that at least one class would end up at the same level as them.

...It was all the mountain's fault after all.

The mastermind behind the Black Room is still beyond my current ability to contend with. Whatever the upcoming exams may be, I need to work hard without being influenced by Haruki Yamauchi.

Thinking this, Horikita Suzune let the diary turn another page.

"Pfft-"

Suddenly, Kikyo Kushida, who was standing nearby, burst out laughing.

Horikita Suzune: "...?"

"Hey, Horikita." Just as Horikita Suzune was confused, Kushida Kikyo turned her head: "Aren't you being a little too funny?"

Horikita Suzune: "???"

"I thought you didn't have a chance to take it out, but I didn't expect you really didn't bring anything down at all?"

"Seriously, I admire you so much. You're the person I've admired the most since I enrolled here."

"Pfft, hahahahahahaha—"

Laughing loudly, Kikyo Kushida frantically slapped the bed, startling the masseuse behind her into stopping her movements.

"Ah, sorry, I was just making fun of my friend, please continue." Noticing this, Kikyo Kushida, who had been laughing for most of the day, calmed down a bit, apologized, and then lay back down, muttering to herself:

"Oops, I forgot to include a 'stupid diary' phrase when I spoke."

If I had said what I just said, I wouldn't have startled anyone by suddenly bursting into laughter.

"...Admire me?" Horikita Suzune blinked, then paused, taken aback.

It took her a while to realize what Kikyo Kushida had mentioned in her diary.

She saw content that was related to her, which is why she dared to laugh so loudly.
