Real teaching, but diary flow

That's right, the result is the same.

If breaking up with him makes him realize his mistake and come back to him saying he wants to help him, then that's the only way to solve the problem!

"Beep beep—" Just as Karuizawa Kei was thinking this, her personal terminal vibrated slightly.

Could it be news? Could it be news of a reconciliation from Hirata?

Karuizawa Megumi opened the terminal with high hopes, but quickly became disappointed.

It's not a message, it's a money transfer notification.

81,250 personal points transferred.

...In the end, he still divided the money equally as usual.

"I'm sick!"

Gritting her teeth, Karuizawa locked the terminal.

I don't need someone like Hirata Yosuke.

I need to find a more powerful, more suitable, and more protective host.

"Hey, today on the deck..."

Before she knew it, Karuizawa Kei seemed to have already walked out of the nearly deserted cabin, where girls from other classes were gossiping about what had happened not long ago.

"Hey, since Asakusa-kun didn't avoid Shiina, don't you think we might have a chance if we give it a try?"

"No way, with Ichinose around, no one can stand against us, right?"

"But if you want to be a mistress, you might have a very good chance~"

"Hahahaha-"

Asakusa Toru.

A name, for who knows how many times, entered Karuizawa Megumi's ears.

......

Chapter 248 Opening

Originally, the school's arrangements were quite appropriate.

Fourteen days, a two-week cruise trip, and a seven-day special exam on a deserted island, giving students a few days to relax before quickly arranging a special exam for privileged students in between, a rapid and intensive test that leaves students completely unprepared.

This should definitely be able to test the students' true level of on-the-spot adaptability.

But who would have thought that the special exam on the deserted island was discovered by the students in advance, and after several struggles, the exam ended almost as quickly as the naked eye could see.

The school had no choice but to end the exams early, with only four days of the seven-day exam period having passed.

There were three extra days.

So, should we start the preferential treatment exam three days in advance to take advantage of students' relaxation, or should we let students rest for six days to recharge and face the exam head-on?

After some hesitation, the school quickly reached a consensus.

Choose the latter.

Resting for six consecutive days may not necessarily allow you to recharge; more likely, the long period of leisure will completely relax your willpower.

Even students who might guess that there will be an exam will let their guard down after a series of peaceful days.

Launching a surprise attack at this time can actually test students' thinking abilities!

So the school sent out a notification via text message.

At the same time, announcements began to echo throughout the cruise ship.

"To all students: The school has just sent an email with contact information to all students. Please check your mobile phones and follow the instructions. Also, if you haven't received the email, please contact a nearby faculty or staff member. As the information is very important, please make sure you check carefully. To reiterate—"

The broadcast announcing the start of the special examination for privileged individuals began playing on the ship today, August 10th.

Asakusa Tetsu gently stroked her little head back and forth, and Sakura Airi, as docile as a small animal, squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

The school's announcements are fine, and the text messages I receive are fine too.

Enjoying the moment is the most important thing for her.

Otherwise...

"coming."

The others in this room will take him away.

"I received the text message too."

Honami Ichinose and Kikyo Kushida spoke one after the other, opening their personal terminals and turning the screens toward Toru Asakusa to display the content.

This luxury cruise ship consists of nine floors above ground and a roof, comprising five floors above ground and four floors below ground.

At this moment, they were on the fourth floor, which had been allocated to the girls as dormitories.

To be precise, it was Sakura Airi's bedroom.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't an impact play. Sakura Airi's personality isn't suited for large parties; she'd just faint.

The reason we're gathered here... is just a coincidence.

Because Sakura Airi is a timid child, it's harder than climbing to heaven to get her to speak up. But if she doesn't speak up, her time will inevitably be taken up and she will be ignored.

Asakusa Tetsu said, his love for everyone is genuine.

Although he admitted that he might indeed have a tendency to like new things, after all, it is difficult for anyone to avoid liking new things.

But he still couldn't bring himself to simply acquire someone he liked and then ignore them, as if it were merely a matter of achieving a 'collection achievement'.

It's not that I'm attacking anyone; it's just that he values ​​'emotions' more, relatively speaking.

Ironically, the girls he encountered needed his affection more than material comforts.

So, coincidentally, he went to Sakura Airi's room on his own initiative, and Ichinose Honami, who followed closely behind, chose to knock on the door and come in casually.

As for Kikyo Kushida...

I tried contacting Sakura Airi briefly; if she didn't quickly reply with a read message, then it was undoubtedly Asakusa Tetsu who had her.

Airi Sakura makes absolutely no attempt to hide anything.

In the end, it turned out like this.

Anyway, the school should be starting the special exams soon. Since they didn't choose to start the preferential treatment exams early because the deserted island exam ended early, they should start the exams as originally planned, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

That is, today, August 10th.

Asakusa Tetsu already had a plan for what kind of result he wanted to achieve in this special exam.

Besides Ryuen Sho, all we need is Kushida Kikyo.

"My meeting time is... 8:40." After displaying the text message, Kikyo Kushida put away her terminal and then looked at the text message she had received.

[A special exam is about to begin. Students are requested to assemble in their designated rooms at the designated time. Those who are more than ten minutes late will be subject to punishment.]

The text message informed us of the meeting time and location.

“My meeting time is six o’clock,” Ichinose Honami said, glancing at the personal terminal that Asakusa Toru handed over: “My room number is the same as Toru’s.”

“Then it’s the same group.” Asakusa Tetsu nodded.

As far as I can remember, Ichinose Honami was in Group 卯 (Rabbit Group) during the preferential treatment exam.

As for the other members of the Rabbit Group...

The random members A, B, and C of Sakayanagi's class; the random members A and B of Ichinose's class; Rika Furude of Class C (not really), Ibuki, and the Manabe trio; the random members A and B of Class D; and... Megumi Karuizawa and Kiyotaka Ayanokouji.

What a coincidence.

So the one receiving preferential treatment is Karuizawa Megumi?

No, because if I add myself, replacing Passerby A might cause an error in the order of the names. We need to wait until we get the specific group member list before we can confirm it.

In short...

“Bring a voice recorder,” he said.

Because Ichinose Honami was nearby, Asakusa Tetsu originally planned to discuss the exam preparation method from a God's-eye view, spoiler-like perspective.

But when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Kikyo Kushida, he realized what was going on.

Oh right, and there's also the little bellflower.

Sakura was unaffected, and Kikyo was unaware of her true identity.

Having already self-destructed once in front of Hiyori, self-destructing here feels a bit awkward.

It's all Hiyori's fault; she almost made me mistakenly believe that I already knew the secrets of the entire world.

...Although upon closer inspection, it's not much different from playing with open cards.

After all, from the moment he openly intervened in the exam instead of just relying on Ichinose, the exposure of his identity was already inevitable.

It's only a matter of time before things are exposed.

Of course, even so, he was still not ready to confront Kikyo.

I always have a feeling that she'll bite me hard.

"Mm." Kikyo Kushida nodded slightly, then looked up again: "Horikita and I had the same time and room number."

She flipped her personal terminal again, revealing Horikita Suzune's chat history.

Privacy... I shouldn't need to remind you.

Horikita Suzune doesn't have much privacy.

"Tell all the students in the class to bring a voice recorder." Nodding to indicate that he understood, Asakusa Tetsu turned to Ichinose Honami and instructed, "Record whatever you say first."

The exam rules and group assignments are not something that can be realistically understood by everyone if they rely solely on memorization.

A voice recorder that can faithfully record sound is obviously the most suitable choice.

The deserted island banned his large voice recorder, so he must make the voice recorder's reputation shine during this preferential treatment exam!

Well, although Asakusa Toru could actually kill the game without even needing a recording pen.

"...You really like your voice recorder, huh?" Kikyo Kushida said softly, sitting upside down in the chair, hugging the backrest and pressing her weight down.

extrusion--

Her already revealing outfit, which involved casually removing her sun-protective jacket indoors, accentuated the obvious outline of her side breasts.

"That's because the voice recorder is truly a great invention that surpasses human imagination." Asakusa Tetsu opened his hand, and a delicate voice recorder appeared in his palm.

He gently pressed the play button.

then.

"Please, please, let little Kisaki go, meow~"

The familiar, yet seemingly long-lost voice was clearly projected onto the recording device.

Kikyo Kushida: "......"

Kikyo Kushida was stunned for a moment, but almost the next instant, as her brain realized that the voice belonged to her, her pretty face turned bright red.

Shameful, a shameful record!

"Why do you still keep that thing?!" She gritted her teeth, slammed her hand on the back of the chair, and glared angrily at Asakusa Toru.

First, he casually paused the recording that was playing on repeat, then Asakusa Tetsu put away the recorder and shrugged.

"That's why I said I really love voice recorders."

"A voice recorder—capture precious moments of life anytime, anywhere!"

"—I'm going to prepare for my exam!" Kikyo Kushida stood up abruptly, turned around, and flung open the door.

Then, with a loud bang, the door slammed shut.

She ran away.

“We’re about the same. Let’s prepare for the exams.” Shaking his head, Asakusa Tetsu first patted Sakura Airi’s little bottom, who had unknowingly fallen asleep, then turned to Ichinose and said:

"It's not far from six o'clock."
