In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

Simply put, it's about discouraging people from leaving.

Should we bring Ibuki back?

No, given her personality, even if I told her, she probably wouldn't come back right now.

Otherwise, that punch would have been taken for nothing.

In reality, this was all just Ryuen's overthinking. The expulsion was just a side effect; Kamio Tatsuya's main goal was to sabotage the class.

There are many ways to target a class, the most direct being to increase Class D's class points and then surpass Class D.

However, reducing the class points of a class is also a viable solution.

That way, even if Chabashira Sae sees it, there's nothing he can say.

As for whether doing this might inadvertently harm Class C, Tatsuya Kamio said it was none of his business, but he had already given the warning.

If someone can fall into a ditch like that, then Longyuan is an idiot too.

In addition, it cannot be ruled out that Tatsuya Kamio actually wanted to trick Class D by deliberately revealing his identity as the leader to them.

However, Ryuen quickly dismissed the idea, because one's gaze cannot be hidden; this was evident in the way Kamio Tatsuya looked at Totsuka Yahiko on the ship.

"You're really something else."

Since they've said that, it means Longyuan has already agreed.

“Likewise.” Tatsuya Kamio smiled. “I will cooperate with her in the last two days.”

"Hmph, of course I know. Even Katsuragi, that stubborn guy, would be suspicious if he got the key card after only one day of infiltration."

Longyuan picked up the drink on the table, took a sip, and then put it back.

"Hey, Ishizaki, the drinks aren't cold anymore. Get me some iced ones, and get this bastard one too."

Upon hearing Ryuen's instructions, Ishizaki, who was playing beach volleyball, immediately ran towards the tent.

"What do you mean, bastard? We're partners, aren't we? You shitty king."

Kamio Tatsuya took the cola from Ishizaki and said with dissatisfaction.

But Ishizaki has become quite perceptive lately; he actually knew I wanted to drink Coke.

"Alright, it's almost time, I should go too, and besides, you have new guests coming."

Tatsuya Kamio glanced at Ryuen, then looked at Suzune Horikita and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who were walking towards them.

The reason why Tatsuya Kamio came out alone was that he didn't want to bring Ayanokoji with him.

As a result, this guy tricked Horikita Suzune into bringing him here.

With this combination, Ryuen will definitely treat Ayanokoji as his follower.

However, Tatsuya Kamio didn't intend to remind him, since Ayanokouji was currently an ally, and he would take this opportunity to see what he was capable of.

For example, could he tell that Ryuen was the leader of Class C?

To be honest, Tatsuya Kamio had great respect for Ryuen's operation.

While other classes had to endure high temperatures and harsh living conditions, only Class C could play to their heart's content.

Moreover, after they ran out of points and returned to the ship, Ryuen shouldered everything alone, and then staged a stunning comeback in the end.

If Ryuen really succeeds, then any dissatisfaction that Class C had accumulated before will probably vanish in an instant.

Furthermore, Longyuan's popularity in Class C will reach an unprecedented level.

Despite their differing stances, Tatsuya Kamio genuinely hoped that Ryuen's grand undertaking would succeed.

Unfortunately, even if Kamio Tatsuya did nothing, with Ryuen in the open and Ayanokoji in the shadows, his failure in this exam was probably inevitable.

Tatsuya Kamio picked up the iced cola on the table, opened the packaging, and took a sip.

"For the sake of this bottle of Coke, I'll give you a piece of advice: try to trust other people. Taking everything on yourself isn't a good thing."

"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something."

Ryuen didn't take Kamio Tatsuya's words to heart at all.

At that moment, Horikita arrived with Ayanokoji.

Horikita frowned when he saw the Coke in Tatsuya Kamio's hand.

"How come you're hanging out with people from Class C?"

This guy is still meddling as much as ever. My good mood was ruined by his words.

Who I hang out with is none of your business.

Kamio Tatsuya retorted to her, and then simply left.

Class D is garbage, I don't want to stay there for even a second longer.

"Tatsuya".

Just a few steps from Longyuan, a girl still wearing sportswear ran towards us.

"Hiyori, aren't you going out to play with your friends?"

While the students in Class C were all having a great time, Shiina was wearing a tracksuit and didn't seem to be playing at all.

"Hey, Ryuen, is anyone in Class C bullying Hiyori?"

Upon hearing Tatsuya Kamio's words, Ryuen remained speechless, unsure of what to say.

You're really meddling in other people's business.

"No, it's just that I'm really bad at sports." Shiina sighed. "If only there were books."

"Let's not disturb Longyuan's reception of guests, let's go for a walk over there."

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Ryuen and the two uninvited guests from Class D, then took Shiina's hand and left.

"Ah."

Horikita frowned as he watched Tatsuya Kamio and Hiyori Shiina leave hand in hand.

It's unclear whether it was out of concern that Tatsuya Kamio might leak information about Class D, or for some other reason.

"Is there anything you'd like to play, Tatsuya? Feel free to ask!"

"Just playing around," Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Shiina and then shook his head.

Although there are many toys here, most of them are related to sports. While Kamio Tatsuya can have a great time playing with them, Shiina will probably just be able to watch Kamio play.

"Let's go sit up there. I remember there's a nicely maintained lawn up there."

Kamio Tatsuya pointed to the edge of the forest not far away.

That's one good thing about artificial islands; the lawns are well-maintained.

"I didn't expect this lawn to be so soft."

Lying on the lawn, Tatsuya Kamio rested his head on his arm, looking completely at ease.

If you were to camp here, you wouldn't need to put toilet paper or anything like that under the tent at night.

"Yes, and the sky is so blue."

Shiina lay down next to Tatsuya Kamio, looked at the clear sky, and then stretched out his hand.

Hmm, it looks so white and tender, it must taste delicious.

"It's nice to just stare at the sky and not think about anything sometimes."

"That's right."

"Tatsuya, I woke up really early today."

"Is it because you're not used to sleeping here?"

"No, it's just that I'm not used to life here. After it gets dark, I have no idea what to do, so I go to my tent to sleep very early."

"I see. Would you like to take a nap now? It's quite comfortable here."

"Does Nada want to sleep with me too?"

amount……

Miss Hiyori?

What you're saying could be misunderstood.

Kamio Tatsuya fell silent, a rare occurrence, and Shiina didn't speak either. The two of them simply watched the blue sky, the white clouds, and the birds that occasionally flew overhead.

Looking at the blue sky and feeling the salty sea breeze, Tatsuya Kamio's eyelids began to droop, and then he gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep.

"If Da were in Class C, we could often just sit together and stare at the sky like this."

Tatsuya Kamio, who was lying to the side, did not reply.

"Tatsuya?"

Shiina called out softly, but received no response.

"She's asleep."

Seeing Tatsuya Kamio's face soften as he fell asleep, Shiina smiled faintly.

Goodnight, Tatsuya.

Chapter 115 Ayanokouji Begins His Operation

When Kamio Tatsuya woke up again, it was already close to dusk. He raised his left hand to look at his watch and saw that it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

"Yawn~"

After letting out a comfortable yawn, Kamio Tatsuya noticed that Shiina was curled up on the grass next to him.

Could she have just slept here with me all day?

"Hiyori, Hiyori, wake up, wake up."

As Kamio Tatsuya called out her name, he reached out and shook her shoulder.

"Hmm~ Tatsuya?"

Shiina rubbed his sleepy eyes as he got up from the ground.

"Good morning."

Seeing Shiina's confused expression, Kamio Tatsuya couldn't help but laugh.

"What good morning? It's already evening."

"Hehehe, this feels so comfortable to sleep in."

Shiina raised her hands and stretched her body, but unfortunately her sportswear was too loose, and her body curves were completely hidden.

"But if that's the case, I might not be able to sleep at night."

"It's okay, our class will probably all forfeit and go back to the ship tomorrow, then we can adjust our biological clocks back to normal."

Perhaps because she had just taken a nap, Shiina looked radiant, her eyes sparkling like stars, and she was incredibly beautiful.

"Okay, see you after the exam."

Kamio Tatsuya stood up from the ground and then reached out his hand to Shiina, who was still on the ground.

"See you after the exam. It's getting late, Da, you should head back to camp soon too."

Shiina, with Tatsuya Kamio's hand in hers, also stood up from the ground.

Kamio Tatsuya smiled, then said goodbye to Shiina and left.

When we got back to the camp, it was not yet seven o'clock, just in time for dinner.

As always, Ibuki sat alone outside the D-class camp, silently eating the food that Kushida had brought her.

Hey, it's been a whole day, and you still haven't managed to blend in with the girls.

Compared to Kaneda, you're really nothing.

Kaneda had already successfully integrated into Class B during the day.

I don't know what Long Yuan was thinking, sending this guy out as a spy. It seems they really don't have enough manpower.

But speaking of which, why hasn't Hashimoto made any move yet? Didn't they say they were having a pleasant collaboration?
