Zongman: I can modify the status bar

The girls had a very clear idea. They simply concluded that the criminal was hiding on the boys' side. However, given the current situation, it was natural for them to think so.

"What? Stop joking, we didn't do anything like that, don't agree to it! Hirata-kun!"

"Then... let's gather together and discuss this. Can you give us some time?" Hirata Yosuke thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any good solution for the time being. Anyway, let's delay it for a while.

"...Since you've said so, Hirata-san, I'll do as you say. I'll also go check on Shinohara-san first. But I have to be frank. If you don't find the culprit, we'll have our own plans. Even though there's only one day left before the exam, that doesn't mean you'll be safe!"

Karuizawa Megumi left these words domineeringly, and the scene temporarily dispersed.

Hirata Yosuke immediately gathered all the boys together and discussed in front of the tent. The boys in Class A also gathered together reluctantly under the watchful eyes of Katsuragi Kōhei. After all, this matter had a lot to do with them.

"Let's just ignore what the girls say. It's really hard to be doubted. I will fight them to the end."

I thought that with his excellent wilderness survival skills, Chi had gained the girls' trust on the first day, but it seems that this is just a facade after all. He was still suspected without any basis, and it was natural that the boys who were suspicious felt very unhappy.

"Right? Besides, no matter what, we can't possibly steal the underwear of that guy Shinohara Satsuki. We just had a big fight a few days ago. Who would like that kind of tomboy?"

"That's right!"

"That's right!" The boys after Yamauchi also said this one after another. It seemed that their ideas were surprisingly consistent.

This isn't to say that Shinohara Satsuki isn't cute, but rather that her tough and overbearing personality is quite unpleasant. Rather than targeting Shinohara Satsuki, it's better to choose someone more suitable...

"I don't intend to doubt you, but I don't think this will solve the problem. The girls are also panicking now, so we have to do something..."

The girls on the opposite side who shared the same hatred for the enemy were ready to swarm over him at any time, which was very scary.

"In order to prove my innocence, perhaps I should openly accept the luggage inspection. This is a better option..." After saying this, Hirata Yosuke took out his luggage bag.

"I accepted the girls' request so unprofessionally that you had no choice but to follow my lead. This should be fine, right?" Hirata Yosuke was also helpless because he really couldn't find any good solution. Time was pressing. Just like Karuizawa Megumi said just now, if this matter couldn't be handled to their satisfaction, then even if there was only one day left, they would spare no effort to make trouble. Hirata Yosuke didn't want all his efforts that he had put so much thought into until now to go to waste.

"But, but..."

"Of course, I'll be the first to open the bag!"

Hirata Yosuke wants others to take action, so he will take the lead. However, not only the girls, but also the boys will not think that Hirata is the culprit...

As long as the first person opens his bag like Hirata Yosuke and displays his luggage, the people behind him will have to follow suit. Students who do not want to show the luggage in their backpacks will definitely be suspected. Of course, it is impossible for Hirata Yosuke to have any underwear in his bag.

But on the other hand, once such a loophole is opened, what should we do if we check everyone's bags but find no evidence?

"There's really nothing I can do..."

Influenced by Hirata Yosuke's actions, the boys in Class D went to the open space in front of the tent and pulled out their luggage. Although Ike and Yamauchi were very reluctant, they were unable to resist the one-sided situation. The boys in Class A, led by Katsuragi, also took out their luggage and lined up behind to wait for inspection.

"Damn it! I'm so angry! How can you unconditionally doubt a boy's innocence? It's so unreasonable!"

"Well, now that things have come to this, let's openly prove our innocence to them."

As Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Ike, and Yamauchi, who were at the end of the line, completed the luggage inspection, it was announced that all the boys in Class D were not criminals.

"See! I told you we couldn't be the criminals!"

"Apologize to me quickly!"

"That's right, it's really unforgivable to put a stigma on others so easily!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Hirata Yosuke quickly stopped them, "Everyone, the inspection isn't over yet!" Then he turned his gaze to Katsuragi Kohei who was standing beside him.

"is that OK?"

"Of course, I'm already very touched that you can take in Class A who have nowhere to go. There's naturally no reason for me not to cooperate with such a small matter." Katsuragi Kohei picked up his backpack and walked over with the boys from Class A behind him.

"Thank you, that's really helpful!" What Hirata Yosuke feared most was that Class A would have a quarrel, which might really risk splitting Class D. However, it seemed that Katsuragi from Class A was not the kind of guy who only thought about messing with others.

In the current situation, the one that Class A needs to guard against the most is actually Class B, and Class D, as the last one, will not pose any threat to Class A at all. Even if they can achieve a relatively good result in this survival test, it will actually be similar to what Class A has gained.

The gap between the two cannot be reversed by one or two successes or failures.

So the only thing left for Yasuhira Katsuragi is to cooperate with Class D to complete the exam. This is a win-win situation in a sense, but the means of cooperation are somewhat dishonorable.

Several girls surrounded Yosuke Hirata and monitored him, while Yosuke Hirata was responsible for searching through the luggage bags of the people being inspected.

In this way, the boys in Class A completed the inspection one after another, and the line behind them became shorter and shorter, but the criminal was not found yet.

Is it really not their doing?

……

Chapter 164 The Prisoner is Xiaonan Niang

"Well, you should be satisfied now!"

After seeing that the last boy had completed the inspection and confirmed that there was indeed no criminal among them, Katsuragi Kohei began to settle the accounts.

"That's right! I told you we're not the criminals. How are you going to explain this time?"

"Our reputation as boys has been put in jeopardy by your few words. How are you going to compensate us?"

"My underwear is missing too! I suspect you girls stole it! I also want to check your luggage!"

……

Yosuke Hirata also breathed a sigh of relief. There was indeed no criminal and at least nothing else would happen. The situation was finally under control.

"It's a shame, but it seems like no one is a criminal. Perhaps we should change our approach..."

"Wait a minute! It seems that there is still one person in Class A who has not been examined!" Chiaki Matsushita suddenly came over and interrupted Yosuke Hirata's declaration of victory.

Everyone looked in the direction that Matsushita Chiaki pointed, and saw only a "girl" holding her luggage and looking around at the edge of the group of girls.

"Ms. Matsushita, I can understand your feelings, but this classmate is obviously a girl, right?" Hirata Yosuke smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Hirata, I want you to look more carefully. This guy just has longer hair and a smaller figure, but he is a boy!" Chiaki Matsushita said with confidence.

Katsuragi Kohei took a look and finally shook his head helplessly and asked his men to bring this little Nan girl over for examination. In fact, he had just discovered that there was something wrong with this guy, but everyone was staring at him. Both boys and girls in Class D were actually very wary of the girls in Class A, but they couldn't show it because of the deal. So he could only acquiesce to this guy hiding in the crowd of girls and trying to get away with it, but he was still discovered by the sharp-eyed Matsushita Chiaki.

"Come on, put your luggage on the ground for inspection!" Karuizawa Kei also felt that this guy was becoming more and more suspicious the more she looked at him, and she had basically concluded that this guy was the criminal.

But this guy seemed to be useless, just holding the luggage in his arms and refusing to let go. Hirata Yosuke had no way to do anything. After all, he was a member of Class A after all, and his behavior was likely to cause problems.

Kōhei Katsuragi finally couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he asked his men to hold the guy back, then he pulled the luggage out of his arms and handed it to Yosuke Hirata for inspection.

As expected, Shinohara Satsuki's underwear was found in this guy's bag, and he was caught red-handed.

After confirming the identity of the criminal, Karuizawa Kei and other girls immediately asked to report it to the school.

Although Kōhei Katsuragi didn't want this to happen, unfortunately, this was the way it was. That disappointing guy was in his class.

The school naturally would not tolerate such behavior and directly forced the little girl to withdraw and deducted 50 points as punishment. The fire caused by improper use of fire in Class A's base last night had already caused the school's favorability towards Class A to plummet to the extreme. Not punishing them was already the most they could do. However, such a terrible incident as stealing girls' underwear happened the next day. The school would not be so merciful this time.

In addition to the 50-point penalty, Class A was also forced to deduct 30 points due to his withdrawal, which was the original rule that if one person withdraws, the situation of Class A is now even worse.

Class A, which had a total of 80 points deducted, now has a total point score that is even on par with Class D. However, Katsuragi's reaction did not seem that big, as he had his own plans.

First of all, let's count Haruki, who is already known, as one, which makes 50 points. Add to that Ryuuen from Class C. Others may not know, but Katsuragi knows it very well. There is only Ryuuen left, plus Ibuki Mio who was discovered to have infiltrated Class D not long ago. Then the leader of Class C must be among these two people. After a little confirmation, we can know the answer.

The supplies that Ryuen used as bargaining chips have been burned to ashes, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for Katsuragi to betray him a little.

Finally, the identity of the leader of Class D is still unclear. Because Suzune was very careful when occupying, it is basically impossible for others to find any flaws.

This is how it should have been, but in fact, Ibuki Mio had already discovered this. If Haruki had not already taken over Class C, Class D would have been doomed.

At least for now, Katsuragi only has a few similar candidates, and it is not exactly Horikita Suzune. If they can live in peace for the rest of the day, there will be more possibilities to find out the identity of the leader of Class D, so Katsuragi Kōhei will cooperate so well.

In addition, another purpose is to have a place to set up camp. If there is no camp for Class D to rest, then they will have to face the problem of all the islands being occupied by Haruki. It is not a big deal during the day, as they can explore in the woods, but at night they have to consider the issue of the camp. As long as they rest on Haruki's territory for one night, they will have to pay a penalty of up to 50 points for the incorrect use of the base.

After receiving a good lesson, Kōhei Katsuragi thought that he could finally spend his last night in peace, but the girls in Class D were not so easy to deal with.

Such a slight punishment could not relieve the anger in their hearts at all.

"Everyone, can you hold on for a moment?"

Katsuragi Kohei had just seen off Class A's homeroom teacher and his group, and when he came back he saw Hirata Yosuke gathering everyone. There was nothing he could do as he had already decided to "cooperate" before, and the criminal was indeed someone from his class. Katsuragi knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly called the boys in Class A to gather together.

And next to Hirata Yosuke appeared Shinohara Satsuki, who had not appeared before. Her eyes were red and full of tears, and she was shaking with anger.

"Boys just can't believe it. I absolutely can't continue living in the same place!"

"But it would be a bit problematic if boys and girls lived separately... The exams will be over soon. Of course, I don't mean for everyone to sacrifice themselves to make do, but aren't we all partners? So we must trust and help each other, right?"

"Although what you said is not wrong, I still can't stand staying in the same place with a group of guys like this. I don't believe that no one noticed that guy's perverted behavior before, but didn't they cover it up in the end? If Matsushita hadn't discovered it in time, that guy would really have gotten away with it!" Karuizawa Megumi's words were sharp and indirect. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she was actually putting pressure on Class A and the group of people who made Class A camp at the base.

……

Chapter 165 Complete Break

"I absolutely can't stand it!" Shinohara Satsuki shook her head violently and said so. Since the victim has already said so, Hirata Yosuke can't be too tough.

However, a more realistic problem is that the current base seems to be insufficient to separate the tents of boys and girls by a distance that satisfies the girls, because there is no space. All the available open space within the sphere of influence of this base has been fully utilized. If it were not for Class A, it would be fine, but the space is indeed quite crowded now.

"But judging from the current situation, our space doesn't seem to be enough. Even if we divide it as you said, it will still be far from meeting your requirements. So we still..." Hirata Yosuke naturally discovered this problem, although it doesn't matter to him at the moment. As long as he can hold on until the end of the test, he can accept any conditions.

"Although it's embarrassing, we naturally have our own way!" Karuizawa Kei said as she pulled someone out from behind the group of girls.

"Haruki?!"

"That's right! We asked Haruki-kun to lend us one of the strongholds he occupied. It's not far away."

Shinohara Satsuki angrily picked up a branch at hand and drew a line on the edge of the bushes nearby.

"Since the criminal is on your side, and someone is trying to cover him up, we must draw a line here to separate the areas for boys and girls. We must absolutely prevent boys from entering the area within this dividing line!"

Shinohara Satsuki said this, and then divided the area. Of course, one part was still Class D's territory, and this area was used as a buffer zone, while the girls had to live in the radiation area of another occupied stronghold not far away.

After she said this, she asked the boys to help move the tents and transfer the supplies. There were sighs everywhere as to whether the boys could accept this.

"If you doubt us, then just set up your own tent! We won't move supplies or help you!"

"Oh! That's true. Forget it then. We can't stand it if you guys pretend to help but end up messing with other people's luggage a few times!"

"Also, don't use the shower room anymore. Letting a bunch of you perverts use it is no joke!"

The unity of Class D that had been maintained by Yosuke Hirata until now disappeared, and the relationship between boys and girls was completely broken.

"Hey! Do you have any way to move the tent? Do you have the strength to move the tent pegs?" After confirming that they really didn't need help, the boys began to mock the girls.

"Oh right! Don't you have Haruki-kun? You can ask him to help you with the hard labor!"

"That's right! Let him be a good guy to the end, right?"

"Hahaha, let's see what he will do now."

Shinohara Satsuki immediately realized that the situation was not good. It was already very difficult for the girl to borrow the use rights of the base from Haruki because of Karuizawa Megumi's face. In addition to the previous material assistance, Shinohara Satsuki was really embarrassed to let Haruki take action again, so she quickly asked Hirata for help.

"Hey, Hirata-san, this is really a bit difficult, so could you please help me?"

"...I understand. I'll help you, even though it might take quite a while. Is that okay?"

"Thank you, Hirata-san. That's so kind of you. I'm so glad you're here, otherwise I don't know what I would do."

"That's true. Of all the people out there, only Hirata-kun is trustworthy."

Shinohara Satsuki looks very happy.

"Tsk! Maybe Hirata is the culprit."

"What? How could Hirata be annoying? You idiot, just go and die, okay? The criminal has been taken away! Are you crazy?"

"You're kidding, because I feel like that guy was wrongly accused!"

"What do you mean?"

"That's right! That boy seems like the quiet type with few friends. Maybe someone just doesn't like him and put Shinohara Satsuki's underwear in his luggage!"

"When you say that, it gives me chills down my spine. Luckily, I don't have any enemies!"

The boys, of course, complained and made some unfounded assumptions, but their words fell on deaf ears. With the exception of Hirata, it seemed like every boy was under suspicion, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The situation quickly reached its final stage, with Karuizawa Megumi and Shinohara Satsuki taking control.

"Wait a minute, I also disagree with this result!"

Horikita Suzune calmly raised her opinion in this tense and cold atmosphere.

"What's wrong, Horikita-san? Are you unhappy about what happened just now?"

"As far as the discussion of switching the boys' and girls' living quarters as you suggested just now, I don't mind. But we can't just ignore what some people are saying. Is it possible that the real culprit is still at large among us? So, even things like whether Hirata-san is trustworthy are too early to say for sure. I can't accept the assertion that he's definitely not the culprit, so I also can't accept the decision to let him into the girls' area!"

"How could Hirata-san do something like that? Don't you understand that?"

"This is just your personal opinion, right? Don't force me to have the same idea as you!"

Horikita Suzune and Karuizawa Megumi were at loggerheads, neither of them willing to give in.

"If you ask me, Hirata-kun is quite suspicious. As an inspector, it's probably not difficult for him to put something as small as underwear in someone's luggage!"

"If you say so..."

Suddenly, a voice came from nowhere and pointed the finger at Hirata, but everyone pretended not to hear it. Seeing that there was no response to his rhythm, the voice eventually disappeared.
