Ichinose, you will regret it.

Uesugi Gen suddenly stood up and touched Horikita Suzune's smooth forehead with one hand.

"I forgot to ask if you're feeling better now. It seems you're almost well now."

"Uesugi-san, do you want to regret while feeling pain, or regret while feeling despair?"

Horikita Suzune forced a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey, you want to hit me again, right? I told you you're a tomboy and you don't admit it..."

"Go to hell you!"

……

-

After returning to Class B's camp, Uesugi Gen came to Ryuji Kanzaki who was counting supplies.

"Uesugi, if you're bored, you can go find Ichinose. She just asked you to go collect food with her."

Kanzaki Ryuji said without looking up.

"Hey, Kanzaki heard you want to be the monitor of Class B?"

Kanzaki Ryuji's face suddenly changed.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."

"Don't lie. The expression on your face in the woods just now told me everything. You, Kanzaki Ryuji, want to seize power and usurp the throne, right?"

Uesugi Gen struck the pose of a Shinigami elementary school student and pushed up the frames of his non-existent glasses.

"No, I—"

"Don't explain, I understand, I understand everything..."

Uesugi Gen looked as if he understood me.

"I have a big treasure to show you."

Gen Uesugi pulled Kanzaki to a corner and handed the key card directly to Ryuji Kanzaki.

“This is… huh?”

Kanzaki Ryuji looked at the key card with his name engraved on it in horror.

"Well, you've been the true leader of our Class B this week. Aren't you excited?"

"you you……"

Kanzaki Ryuji pointed a trembling finger at Uesugi Gen.

Others may not be able to see it, but Ryuji Kanzaki, a descendant of a wealthy family, knows clearly that although this position is called a leader, it is actually just a piece of fat with no use.

Moreover, he knew Uesugi Gen's character very well. Skipping the class discussion and directly appointing him as the leader was definitely a sign of causing trouble.

This guy, is he going to sacrifice him to the heavens...

"Revenge, this must be revenge!"

Kanzaki Ryuji picked up the key card and turned away, muttering to himself.

"I'm going to see Ichinose and complain about you!!!"

Chapter 58 I haven’t slept yet.

I am Shangergrilyuan,

[I'm going to show you how to survive on one of the safest uninhabited islands on Earth.]

I have to face a challenge for a week.

[In a place like this, if you don't have the right skills to kill time, you won't even last a day...]

I can’t stand spicy food!

Uesugi Gen suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and sat up from the ground.

He, Uesugi Gen, suffered from insomnia.

On an uninhabited island with no lights, no air conditioning, no big bed, and no computers, mobile phones, or game consoles, Uesugi Gen sadly discovered that he couldn't sleep.

not to mention.

What time is it now? It’s not even eleven o’clock.

Normally this is the time when he is full of energy and fights until dawn.

So, after Uesugi Gen lay down, he couldn't fall asleep at all.

So, what should I do now?

Uesugi Gen fell into deep thought.

Then he turned his head and looked at Shibata Sa who was sleeping with his legs spread out, then looked at Kanzaki Ryuji who looked serious even when he was sleeping, and finally looked at the other boys around him.

I always feel that if I call them now, they will pin me to the ground and beat me.

Uesugi Gen had to suppress his urge to commit suicide.

Forget it, they have been busy all day today, let them have a good rest.

Uesugi Gen stood up, stepped over the other boys, and walked out of the tent.

Because this island is completely artificial, there is no need to worry about the presence of large wild animals, so Class B did not arrange anyone to keep watch at night.

The entire camp was silent, with only the sound of a distant waterfall and the chirping of crickets in the grass.

It’s completely different from being at home with Gao Yu!

Uesugi Gen found a random stone to sit on and sighed.

"I guessed you couldn't sleep."

A sweet voice came from behind Uesugi Gen.

"You haven't slept either, haven't you? You must be very tired after setting up camp with your classmates today. It's better to go to bed quickly."

Without even turning around, just by listening to the voice, Uesugi Gen already knew who it was.

"Hmm~ I don't feel like that at all, because before, I would wait until my mom came home before going to bed. So, now I'm not sleepy at all."

Ichinose found a seat next to Uesugi Gen and explained.

Uesugi Gen didn't reply, just quietly looked at the waterfall in the distance.

Ichinose didn't say anything else and sat on the stone with Uesugi Gen.

The night suddenly became quiet.

"Hey, Uesugi-kun, you skipped the class discussion and directly appointed Kanzaki-kun as the leader. There must be some reason why he was the only one who mattered."

After a while, Ichinose asked his question softly.

Uesugi Gen looked at Ichinose's pink face and said calmly.

"Yes, Kanzaki is indispensable for this plan."

"So, can you tell me about Uesugi-kun's plan?"

Uesugi Gen was silent for a while, then decisively refused.

"No, this plan is not for you."

Seeing Uesugi Gen's firm attitude, Ichinose gave a wry smile.

"really……"

If it was a legitimate plan, as long as Ichinose wanted to know, Uesugi Gen would definitely not hide it from her, so...

This is indeed a plan that goes against my own wishes.

Should I beg him not to do this?

No!

I can't say it. What I did last time was already my limit.

I already... don't want to see him running around for class matters anymore. He could be very happy at school every day, and it's obvious that all this is because of her...

Slowly, a look of pain appeared in Ichinose's eyes.

At this time, Uesugi Gen placed his hands on Ichinose's shoulders, looked directly into her big blue-purple eyes, and spoke seriously.

"Ichinose, listen, I'm not asking you to change your kind nature. There's nothing wrong with helping others and wanting your classmates not to get hurt."

"However, we can't think of everything so beautifully. If we gain something, we will definitely lose something."

"It's like playing chess. No one can win the game without losing a single piece, not even a god. The only thing a chess player can do is to use all their means to minimize losses and win the game beautifully."

Uesugi Gen paused and continued.

"From the very beginning, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves for the coach. The students in Class B chose you as the class monitor because they hoped you could lead them to a beautiful victory over the other classes."

"Ichinose, I know you're smart. Use your intelligence on this. Only those who give up everything can win everything!"

In this place where there is no third person, Uesugi Gen bloodily reveals the fact that Ichinose has been avoiding, forcing her to face it.

"I know I know……"

Ichinose clutched Uesugi Gen's hands tightly with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke in pain.

"But Uesugi-kun, I can't do it. I really can't do it. When I think about sacrificing you to win one day, I feel so uncomfortable."

Looking at the girl crying in front of him, a trace of pity flashed in Uesugi Gen's eyes.

Did you push her too far?

Uesugi Gen sighed.

Never mind, maybe next time...

Uesugi Gen gently released Ichinose's shoulders.

He held Ichinose in his arms, gently stroked Ichinose's back, and comforted her.

"Then don't change it for now, Ichinose. If you can't change it, forget it. Just keep an eye on your classmates this time, just like you always do."

"Leave the rest to me. I promise you that this time I will minimize the losses of Class B and not have anyone drop out, okay?"

The crying of Ichinose in Uesugi Gen's arms gradually subsided, and slowly only faint sobs could be heard.

Finally, a slightly naive voice sounded in Uesugi Gen's ears.

"Really, Uesugi-kun?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Liar, you lie to me every time."

"No, just once or twice."

"Then why do you always say you're done eating when I ask you to? Kanzaki-san said you play games in the activity room until 7 or 8pm every day."

……

Damn it, Kanzaki, just wait for me. I thought you were the only man in the entire Uesugi group who wouldn't stab me in the back, but you actually leaked my little base. Even Shibata didn't dare to do it, but you did it so skillfully.

"Ahem, this was an accident. Change it. I definitely didn't lie to you."

"No, you'll just lie to me anyway."

"So what do you want to do?"

"From now on, when I... ask you to go out for dinner, you... are not allowed to say you don't have time..."

"What if we really finish eating?"

"I... don't care, otherwise you are lying to me..."

"Okay, then how about eating every few days, huh? Ichinose? Ichinose?"

……

Uesugi Gen stared blankly at Ichinose who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
