I just want your reward.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you were back there."

"No, it's okay... It's probably my fault for not paying attention. I should be the one to say sorry."

Miki Yamamura moved away cautiously and happened to run into Hiyori Shiina, and both of them were startled.

It was Miki Yamamura who reacted first and said quickly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm a little clumsy!"

"Oh, it's okay. I just wanted to ask if you will come to the library tomorrow." Shiina Hiyori asked with a smile. Even though she used a questioning tone, her expectant look was hard to refuse.

Miki Yamamura hesitated and said, "Is it really okay to be with someone like me?"

Shiina Hiyori felt very strange and asked in confusion: "What's the problem? Yamamura-san also likes reading, right?"

This afternoon, Toru Suzuki brought Miki Yamamura to the library and introduced this classmate to Hikaru Shiina, who naturally welcomed him.

Perhaps because she was a student in Class A, Miki Yamamura was able to actually finish reading the mystery novel recommended by Hiyori Shiina, which surprised Hiyori Shiina.

"I've read similar novels before, so I'm a little interested. But actually I don't quite understand them." Miki Yamamura seemed to be not very good at dealing with such situations and looked very uneasy.

"That's enough. I'm very happy. It turns out that I can make friends not only with Suzuki-kun, but also with other people." Shiina Hiyori smiled happily.

"Actually, you're not a friendless person, right?" Suzuki Toru corrected.

"Don't tease me, that's not what I meant." Shiina Hiyori muttered, "I know that no one in the class would discuss novels with me, and most of the students who often appear in the library are seniors."

After saying that, she happily told Miki Yamamura that she had many more mystery novels and that she was always welcome to visit her at the school library.

After Shiina Hiyori left, Suzuki Toru said to Yamamura Miki, "Are you going to continue tonight?"

The so-called continue, of course, refers to tracking.

Miki Yamamura looked around and saw that most of the members of the Snake Group had left, including Ichinose Honami.

"Until you go back to your room." She added in a low voice, "If you hate me, I won't follow you."

Toru Suzuki really wanted to tell Miki Yamamura that any normal man would not refuse a beautiful girl following him, and would even hope that she would follow him to bed.

"First of all, I want to make it clear that I don't hate Yamamura-san." Suzuki Toru paused, "Secondly, if Sakayanagi-san asks you to follow her in the future, you can tell me directly and I will let you do it. You don't have to work so hard."

Miki Yamamura was stunned. Is there anyone in this world who would agree to be followed by a strange guy?

"One last thing, don't stalk me tonight."

Because Toru Suzuki was going to give Arisu Sakayanagi a surprise later, if she knew about it in advance, it would not have much of an impact.

……

Something was strange tonight.

Arisu Sakayanagi looked out the window at the night sky. The stars and the moon were dim, and the sea was pitch black, without a single ray of light to be seen.

In the last century, it was under such a night that the Technicink hit an iceberg and eventually sank in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Today, human technological level has long surpassed that of the last century. Not to mention the positioning system, the radar system installed on the ship can easily capture suspicious targets and avoid them.

However, the human instinctive fear of darkness has not disappeared. Arisu Sakayanagi thought of Suzuki Toru. The other party was like a heavy night, slowly surrounding him in pitch darkness.

Masumi Kamuro was originally one of her radars, but now she has become the opponent's plaything. It seems that Miki Yamamura, who was sent out today, will not be able to hold on for too long.

Hashimoto Masayoshi seemed to have revealed an attitude of giving up, because he originally had strong ideas about Class A. Seeing that he would most likely graduate from Class A, it was reasonable for him to give up his efforts.

Arisu Sakayanagi felt like he was walking on thin ice. If he wasn't careful, he would fall into the deep sea under the cover of night and be licked clean by the other party.

However, another possibility is that she successfully passed through the darkness and reached the other side.

It's like walking on the edge of a knife. Arisu Sakayanagi enjoys this feeling very much. Not only does she want to defeat him, but she also looks forward to him defeating her. It seems that being a little maid is not bad.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Hearing the girl's voice, Sakayanagi Arisu turned around and saw her breathing slightly, and couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay, I just got here too."

Suzuki-kun, it's such a pity that she won this special exam~

Chapter 212: Her reaction was different from what I expected

The person who appeared in front of Arisu Sakayanagi was none other than Ichinose Honami, and the reason why the other party wanted to meet him tonight must be about the exam.

Considering Ichinose Honami's personality and her actions in the Snake Group, Sakayanagi Arisu felt that she would most likely agree to his proposal. Although this would not be bad, he always felt that something was missing.

"Are you coming alone?" Arisu Sakayanagi smiled slightly. Her eyes fell behind Ichinose Honami and she did not see the figure of Kanzaki Ryuji.

It seems that Ichinose Honami takes tonight's meeting very seriously.

However, Arisu Sakayanagi felt a little annoyed. At this moment, about half an hour had passed since the group discussion, but there was still no sign of the expected counterattack.

"No, he will be here soon." Ichinose Hoba breathed slowly. What happened tonight was not decided by her alone. She had to tell some trustworthy students in the class in advance, so she seemed a little hurried.

Not only was it to cooperate with Suzuki Toru, but it was also to avoid exposing his true colors and arousing the vigilance of Sakayanagi Arisu or Ryuen Sho.

Sakayanagi Arisu didn't take this to heart, thinking he was talking about Kanzaki Ryuji, and said, "Since you asked me out, you should have thought it through, right?"

"I want to know what other classes think besides our B class?" Ichinose Hoba said calmly, "I'm afraid you can't achieve the results you want by relying on just one or two classes. Don't tell me you haven't contacted C and D classes yet."

Sakayanagi Arisu pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Haha, if you can think of it, I can think of it too. Class C has already agreed. I heard that Ryuuen-kun went to the Snake Group's room today. Did he tell you about the cooperation?"

Ichinose Honami nodded and continued, "What about Class D?"

Unexpectedly, Sakayanagi Arisu shook his head and said with regret: "Although I have talked to Hirata-kun, he can't guarantee us 100% that it will succeed. I think the betrayers last night are probably from Class D. After all, their class is really hard to describe."

The chaotic state of Class D was obvious to all, especially after the uninhabited island test. Each class would evaluate each other's solidarity or strength. As expected, Class D was the class with the worst impression.

Of course, the evaluation of Class C is also on a downward trend now.

"That is to say, the result is just around the corner. As long as we can deal with some of the people in Class D, everyone can get a reward, right?"

"Yes, can I take this as your consent?"

"Wait a minute, I have another question." Ichinose Hoba avoided the topic, "Why don't you work hard to get all the teams to achieve result one together?"

Arisu Sakayanagi showed a slightly surprised expression, but then she thought again, it's not surprising that she would ask such a question given her personality. If she didn't ask this, it would be confusing.

"I'm sorry, I've thought about this, but we can't guarantee that everyone in the entire class will accept this proposal." Sakayanagi Arisu said slowly, "In fact, it's a great courage for us in Class A to reveal to everyone which group our favored person is in, because betrayal doesn't cost anything."

In the face of huge interests, this fragile relationship of trust can easily fall apart, and Ichinose Honami should also understand this.

Not only that, Sakayanagi Arisu was also prepared for her to continue asking questions, or even question why Class A dared to reveal the preferential treatment.

I didn't expect that Ichinose Honami just sighed and didn't continue asking questions.

"I understand. This request is indeed too fantastical. I have never thought about doing this. The best route is to achieve result 1 in my own group. Even if I can't do it, it doesn't matter."

Arisu Sakayanagi frowned. It sounded a little strange. He didn't sound like he was about to agree to cooperate with each other. He also felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if someone was gently tickling the palm of his hand. His sensitive nerves made it impossible for him to completely ignore this feeling.

Something was wrong tonight.

It's already this time, but there's still no notification. Could it be that Kōhei Katsuragi sensed the signs of danger and planned to hide so as not to alert other classes?

Or is this how Toru Suzuki deals with things?

Arisu Sakayanagi fell into deep thought. The results of betrayal can be processed within 24 hours during the exam period. It doesn't necessarily mean that he has given up. Maybe he will wait until late at night before taking action.

However, this has no special meaning.

"Sakayanagi-san, can I ask you one last question?" Ichinose Hoba suddenly asked.

Arisu Sakayanagi's thoughts returned to reality, and he found that the girl in front of him was standing still, staring at him straightly without a smile. This immediately made Arisu Sakayanagi's inner alarm bells ring, but on the surface he suppressed his emotions calmly and nodded slightly.

"Please say."

"In your eyes, what kind of person am I?" Ichinose Honami asked without any context. "A nice guy who will agree to whatever others say? Or do you also think I'm naive and easy to fool?"

Sakayanagi Arisu realized something and a strange expression flashed across his face.

"You already know?"

"I didn't know it before, but thanks to someone, I know it now."

"So..." Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly looked towards the end of the corridor and said sweetly to the stairs, "How long are you going to stay, Suzuki-kun~"

Under her gaze, Suzuki Toru slowly walked out from the shadows.

"Hehe, it's you. It's really unexpected that you would cooperate with Ichinose-san." Sakayanagi Arisu was smiling. If you didn't know, you might think that she had caught something on Suzuki Toru and Ichinose Honoka.

"It's normal to cooperate with her. After all, we are in the same team." Suzuki Toru came in front of her and finally saw her night elf-like smile. Looking down a little, he could also see her slender legs in suspenders under her skirt. Her fair skin exuded a light glow.

"That's not normal. What benefit can you give her?" Sakayanagi Arisu smiled happily. "Anyway, Class B lost 100 points last night. How are you going to make up for it?"

Ichinose Honami felt very strange. Logically, Sakayanagi Arisu should have realized that this was a trap for her, but she was extremely happy, as if she and Suzuki Toru had fallen into her trap.

"Of course I'll make up for the loss from you. Since you were in private contact with other classes, it's reasonable for one or two betrayers to appear among them." Suzuki Toru looked as if it was a matter of course.

Arisu Sakayanagi was slightly startled, and then gradually understood what he meant. She couldn't help but pursed her lips. Her heartbeat in her chest quickened a lot, and the blood flowed through her body, making her body slightly hot, causing her pretty face to be slightly flushed. She stared at Suzuki Toru intently.

Chapter 213 Lose, Lose

This reaction was very strange. It wasn't like she didn't understand what he was saying, nor was it like she was angry or embarrassed. Instead, she felt very excited.

Could it be a sudden heart attack?

Thinking of this possibility, Toru Suzuki felt a little troubled, but it couldn't be said to be a particularly troublesome thing. After all, he still had a few medical props.

At this moment, Arisu Sakayanagi suddenly smiled at him.

"Please don't worry too much. Although my body is not very convenient, it is quite strong. I can tolerate this level of play."

Her voice trembled slightly at the end of the sentence, as if she was enduring some strange feeling. Even her neck was covered with tiny blushes, and her eyes were full of ripples. Anyone who saw her would think that Suzuki Toru had done something unspeakable to this petite girl.

“No one would praise their body as being strong, right?”

"As a weak little girl, I can only put up a symbolic resistance against Suzuki-kun's strong and rude body for a while."

"really?"

Suzuki Toru took a step closer to Sakayanagi Arisu, and the latter's originally smiling expression became a little stiff. She suddenly realized that she had made another mistake. This guy would not just laugh it off, he was serious.

It was like she originally thought that Suzuki Toru would at most touch her feet, but she didn't expect that Suzuki Toru would actually dare to lick them.

And it wasn't just licking, Arisu Sakayanagi couldn't forget the feeling of the tongue, let alone on her own toes.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell others about you and Ichinose-san?" Arisu Sakayanagi quickly changed the subject and took a half step back helplessly. There was a ship window behind her and she had no way to retreat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Suzuki Toru stopped in front of her. The two of them were a few steps apart, almost facing each other.

"what do you want to say?"

Arisu Sakayanagi looked at Ichinose Honami beside her. She stood upright with a pair of beautiful eyes under her slightly curved eyebrows that seemed to radiate a childish light. Her high nose bridge made her pretty face look more three-dimensional and lovely. She wore no heavy makeup, and her skin was like egg white that had just been peeled off the shell. The size of her chest, in particular, could make many girls feel indignant.

However, what Arisu Sakayanagi was more concerned about was Ichinose Honami's reaction.

Although she is very pretty, as the leader of Class B, she cannot rely solely on her looks, otherwise she will just be a vase with nothing on the surface.

What will Ichinose Honami do now that Class B has lost two of its favored students?

"You sold the favored student in our class to Class B?" Arisu Sakayanagi's reaction was indeed very quick. She looked at Toru Suzuki with some shock.

Even when Toru Suzuki showed up, she wasn't that surprised.

Arisu Sakayanagi never thought that he would do this. Didn't Wataru agree to see who is more suitable to lead Class A and make the other person his servant?

However, he personally handed over the favored student of Class A to someone else?

This action will directly cause Class A to lose 150 class points. If it were Kōhei Katsuragi, he would obviously not make such a decision!

Therefore, Arisu Sakayanagi could hardly hide the surprise in his eyes.

"It wasn't me who sold out the favored class. It was you who leaked the key information to other classes, and then they took advantage of the opportunity and decisively launched a betrayal. Katsuragi-san reacted in time and ended the exams of other groups as soon as possible." Suzuki Toru patiently reconstructed the whole process for her. "Although Sakayanagi-san accidentally made a mistake, she is a classmate after all, so Katsuragi-san had to forgive her."

Arisu Sakayanagi remained silent. Public opinion is a tool that can be manipulated. In her hands, she could use the fact that Class A was attacked to question Kōhei Katsuragi. But in the hands of another person, it would go in another direction.

Just by hearing Suzuki Toru say this, Sakayanagi Arisu could already imagine the difficult situation he would be facing next.

Facing the crisis moment when Class A was attacked, Kōhei Katsuragi turned the tide and saved Class A from suffering a disastrous defeat. However, because Sakayanagi Arisu did not do her job well, she had to ask Kōhei Katsuragi to help clean up the mess. It was obvious who was strong and who was weak.

What’s even more heartbreaking is that Katsuragi Kohei would pretend to be generous and forgive her.

Forgiveness means that Kōhei Katsuragi is the superior, and she can only stand in the inferior position and be forced to accept the fact that she is forgiven.

"Hehe, Ichinose-san, do you think that three favored people will satisfy you?" Sakayanagi Arisu whispered, "You attack Class A yourself, but let Class A attack other groups. Then, after the entire exam, the only class that achieves a positive return is Class A."

Suzuki Toru's approach requires another class to sacrifice themselves, and both sides need to cooperate tacitly, one to attack Class A, and the other to decisively and quickly deal with the remaining groups.
