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

"This is my first time here too. Hiyori recommended the pasta, while Masumi recommended the steak medium-well."

The main feature is a non-stick pan!

"Pasta and steak, what did Kamio choose?"

Ichinose, are you doing this on purpose?

"Ahem, I'm a little hungry, so I ordered both."

Kanzaki spoke up after hearing what Tatsuya Kamio said.

"Is it okay? I've eaten at this restaurant before, and the portions are quite large."

Oh no, really?

Kamio Tatsuya sensed something was wrong. "I just came here to have a meal, why am I suffering like this?"

"Hey, Honami, are you here to show off? After all, you got first place in this exam." Ryuen said with ill intent, looking at Ichinose.

"a ha ha ha."

Upon hearing Ryuen's comment, Ichinose immediately gave an awkward smile.

"Although that's the result, we actually lost to Ryuen-kun. In the end, Kaneda-kun still managed to discover who the leader was."

"And if it weren't for Kamio-kun, we probably wouldn't have been able to get first place."

It's about the class leader, right? I guess they didn't say it directly because they were trying to save face for Kamuro.

"You are Welcome."

"Hmph, knowing that Kaneda has problems, you still took her in." Ryuen's tone was full of disdain. "Ichinose, you are too naive. Someone like you will never be promoted."

"I think it's more important to graduate with everyone than to move up a class, but I definitely won't do that next time."

Ichinose didn't feel uncomfortable at all about Ryuen's evaluation, and even expressed her own wish, and even Kanzaki, who was standing next to her, didn't object at all.

Graduating together...?

As expected of Ichinose, as expected of Class B.

Ryuen scoffed at Ichinose's statement, or rather, he simply couldn't understand Ichinose's thinking.

Not only Ryuen, but also Tatsuya Kamio felt that Ichinose's idea was unrealistic.

Of course, Tatsuya Kamio didn't doubt Ichinose's words, but he felt that she was being somewhat presumptuous in doing so.

Although the atmosphere in Class B was great, Tatsuya Kamio felt that not everyone in it was just happy to graduate smoothly.

There will definitely be people who want a promotion.

Moreover, given how cruel this school is, it's far too naive to expect someone to protect their classmates while simultaneously getting promoted to a higher class.

Leaving aside the first grade, considering that even with all eight classes in the second and third grades combined, it's difficult to form a complete class, the subsequent exams will likely be even more brutal.

If one day in the future, Class B faces the choice between victory and their teammates, what will they choose?

Just as Tatsuya Kamio was pondering this, the waiter began serving the dishes.

"This belongs to this student."

Looking at the steak in front of him, which was obviously smaller than the one on Kamuro's plate and the pasta that was almost half the size of the one on Shiina's plate, Tatsuya Kamio was almost moved to tears!

Waiter, you're the MVP today!

After lunch, Tatsuya Kamio was resting at the table, preparing to go back to his dormitory to sleep in a little while.

"What is Tatsuya planning to do later?"

Shiina also finished her pasta.

"Go back to the dorm and sleep. I'm exhausted after all these days of running around on the island."

"Let's sleep." Shiina nodded, her face beaming with joy as if she had just thought of something. "Let's sleep together again next time."

……

The entire table fell silent instantly. Everyone stopped eating, and Tatsuya Kamio's expression became blank.

What are you saying, Ms. Shiina?

Do you want to kill me?

"Hahahaha!"

The first to react was Long Yuan, who burst into maniacal laughter, attracting the attention of many people around him.

What the hell are you laughing at, Longyuan? You idiot, not only do you not explain for me, but you're also laughing!?

Pig teammates!

As for the others, Kanzaki looked at Tatsuya Kamio with some disbelief.

Kamuro kept her head down and ate silently without saying a word, but the gradually deepening pain on the instep told Tatsuya Kamio that she wasn't so indifferent.

As for Ichinose, the light seemed to have faded from his pupils. Although he still had a smile on his face, he looked somewhat frightening.

"Kamio-kun, impure relationships between opposite sexes are not acceptable."

"It's a misunderstanding, it's not what you think!"

Kamio Tatsuya panicked a little. He knew he had to explain, so he briefly explained what had happened on the second day of the exam.

"That's right."

Several people present breathed a sigh of relief, including Tatsuya Kamio.

I never thought I'd end up like this. Women... they're terrifying!

After lunch, everyone said their goodbyes and left. Kamio Tatsuya chose to go back to his dormitory to sleep.

These past few days have been quite tiring for him, but even the most tiring days haven't been as tiring as that lunch we just had.

Could Shiina have done this on purpose?

Is she naive or cunning?

Either way, it feels a bit scary.

Thankfully, Sakayanagi ate beforehand today, otherwise this meal would have been even more chaotic. What a relief!

Back in the dormitory, Kamio Tatsuya found Hirata asleep on his bed. If anyone was tired, it was probably Hirata.

After returning to bed, Kamio Tatsuya took out his phone and discovered a text message from Chabashira Sae.

Well done.

Looking at this, Tatsuya Kamio sneered. "I did a good job, but I didn't see you give me a reward. You want the horse to run, but you expect it to find its own grass to eat."

It's disgusting to have one's cake and eat it too.

However, since you sent this message, it means you don't know that I'm behind the contract between Longyuan and Ban, right?

The teacher on the board is indeed very trustworthy.

【Thank you for the compliment. 】

After replying, Kamio Tatsuya collapsed onto the bed, and feeling the soft mattress, he fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 129 Sakayanagi: You're putting me in a difficult position.

For the next three days, almost nothing happened except for having to endure several exclamations of "Kōenji-na—I'm so beautiful!" every day.

They spent their days either reading in the library with Shiina or sea fishing with Kamuro on the side of the boat. Although they came back empty-handed every day, the two of them were still enjoying themselves.

Kamio Tatsuya even followed Koenji's example and experienced the high-end SP on the ship, and then immediately understood why Koenji went there every day.

It seems to have greatly improved his body, which often suffered from cramps due to his growth spurt.

The rest of the time, I would occasionally run into Kushida and listen to his complaints.

Sometimes, Kamio Tatsuya would think that such days were actually quite nice, and that it wouldn't be bad if he could continue like this for three years.

Then, when he graduates, relying on the system's accumulated rewards from nearly thirty periods, even Kamio Tatsuya doesn't know what kind of ridiculous things he'll get.

When the three-year period is up, the Dragon King...

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

Unfortunately, Chabashira's words still echoed in his ears from time to time, and he felt very unhappy whenever he thought of them.

At the same time, I'm also looking forward to when that exam that can earn a lot of personal points will start.

Kamio Tatsuya, who was sipping an iced cola at an outdoor beverage shop while gazing at the sea and lost in thought, was struck up a conversation.

"Good afternoon, Kamio-kun. Would you like to have lunch together?"

"Sakayanagi, that's strange. You seem to have been staying in your room the whole time these past few days."

After glancing at Sakayanagi, who was wearing a white tank top and a large white sun hat, Tatsuya Kamio felt even more that she looked like an elementary school student.

If you carry a small backpack...

"Kamio-kun, are you thinking about something rude?"

Damn it, do you have mind-reading abilities?

I have a feeling this guy has become more difficult to deal with than before.

Kamio Tatsuya silently turned his head and continued to face the sea.

No, you've got it wrong.

"If there's nothing there, then why turn your gaze away?"

"Because the sun is too bright."

"This place is under a parasol, you know."

Sakayanagi spoke aggressively while laughing.

"Your clothes are too white; the sunlight is reflecting off them."

"Really? And now? I'm standing under the parasol too."

Hearing the voice so close behind him, Kamio Tatsuya was speechless. This guy had indeed become troublesome.

"You're so annoying, Sakayanagi."

"To say that a cute girl is annoying is really not gentlemanly at all."

Kamio Tatsuya turned his head and sized up Sakayanagi. Sakayanagi, who was 1.5 meters tall, well, she was indeed quite cute, it was just a pity…

"Hehe, sorry, I'm not interested in elementary school students."

This completely stirred up a hornet's nest. Sakayanagi's originally expressive face immediately disappeared, and he started muttering to himself like a broken doll.

"That's true, I'm really sorry for looking like an elementary school student."

"Kamio-san likes Masumi-san's type, after all, she's a leg fetishist."

"I also heard that Kamio-san and Shiina-san slept together..."

"STOP!"

Seeing that Sakayanagi was getting more and more outrageous, Kamio Tatsuya immediately stopped her. Damn it, who spread the last message?

Did someone overhear Shiina saying that before?

"It was my fault. I shouldn't have said you were like a primary school student. By the way, what exactly do you want?"

Kamio Tatsuya was truly impressed; he really should stay away from this guy from now on.

"How rude of me, Kamio-san. Didn't I say we'd like to have lunch together?"

"Fine, fine, I give up." Tatsuya Kamio picked up the cola on the table and downed it in one gulp. "What do you want to eat?"

"Let me think, Kamio-kun, do you think steak or pasta is tastier?"

Subconsciously, Tatsuya Kamio crushed the cup in his hand and then stretched out his left hand to make a fingertip galaxy gesture.

"Sakayanagi, you're just a hair's breadth away from getting beaten up."

"How rude of you, Kamio-kun." Sakayanagi was clearly delighted to see Kamio Tatsuya like this. "Alright, let's go eat Chinese food today. Will Kamio-kun be able to eat it?"

You ask me if I can get used to Chinese food? Who are you looking down on?

A few minutes later, in the ship's Chinese restaurant, while waiting for the food, Kamio Tatsuya inquired about Sakayanagi's true purpose.
