I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

It seemed as if Albert had only stayed for one day, but Tianyin remembered clearly that after the first barbecue, Albert started leaving early and returning late.

Obviously he was adapting to living alone in the woods in advance.

This probably wasn't the first time he had experienced something like this.

"Fortunately, I could still eat fruits before, but after everyone started picking fruits, I had to go deep into the woods. Only in this way could I avoid the students from various classes who were collecting dry firewood every day."

As the exams were coming to an end, all classes were trying to save class expenses. Everyone was picking fruits or crops to use as food. As long as they could endure one meal, they could save ten class points. Even Class A was storing edibles, trying to save as many points as possible at the last minute, not to mention other classes.

Albert was probably forced into the deepest and most dangerous forest by those who were responsible for collecting things.

"Albert, since you are the last member of Class C on the island, the key card must be in your possession, right?"

Tianyin is still more concerned about the whereabouts of the key card.

But what Tianyin never expected was.

Albert actually shook his head.

"The key card is not on me. Don't look at me like that. I have no reason to lie to you. I am just hiding on the island according to Longyuan's instructions. I know nothing else."

Albert’s words made Tianyin frown.

Only then did she realize that she had been tricked by Long Yuan.

Assuming that what Albert said was true and Ryuuen took the keycard with him when he boarded the ship, then the identity of the lurker and keycard holder would be passed on to the next member of Class C.

Since Albert was the only one left in Class C who had not given up, it was natural for Albert to inherit.

But what comes next is key.

Long Yuan's order to Albert was to stay hidden on the island until the end of the exam, so it was impossible for Albert to go to the school to apply for a new key card.

Even though it is certain that Albert is the key card holder and lurker of Class C.

But the key evidence is missing!

Can you just guess at this kind of thing? If Long Yuan sends someone else, it would be very uneconomical to lose a lot of points for no reason.

No wonder Long Yuan dared to let Albert stay and hang around.

Because even if he was discovered, Albert himself didn't know whether his identity had changed, and the key card could not be found on him. In this way, Albert became a hot potato, and no one dared to make a rash judgment, which was also a disguised way of protecting Albert's safety.

If you encounter danger in the wild, you can just find any class to go in and solve the problem. He knows nothing anyway. Class C has withdrawn from the exam, so you have no way to deal with Albert. Once you accept him, you have to support him and use up the food of other classes, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"That guy Ryuen is really cunning."

Tianyin couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Tianyin's sigh, Albert couldn't help but glance at Tianyin.

Even though he hid in such a place, Tianyin still found him. His cunningness is no less than that of Longyuan.

Since there was no way to deal with Albert for the time being, Tianyin could only suspend his actions and wait until the rain stopped.

Tianyin, covered with her school uniform, lay on her side on the plastic bag that Albert carried with him.

Even if it's all water, it's much better than sleeping directly in the mud.

"Miyako-san, are you really that worried..."

Before Albert could finish his words, he looked at the reason in a daze, as he had already fallen asleep.

Albert, who was just about to test Tianyin's level of trust in him, could only smile bitterly.

How can a girl be so carefree?

Albert took off his school uniform and originally planned to cover Tianyin with it, but then he thought that the rain would not stop for a while, and if he left it like this, he might be woken up in the middle of the night by the clothes soaked with rain.

Albert looked at the branches and bones beside him and suddenly had some ideas.

"Tianyin, are you there? Tianyin, reply when you hear my voice..."

Horikita felt the hairs on his body stand up when he saw the scene in front of him.

Albert, covered in blood and with torn clothes, was taking a nap in front of a strange shed.

It seemed that he was too tired, and his snoring was as loud as thunder.

Horikita's face was filled with joy.

Because Albert is here, it means that the last person in Class C is Albert. I didn’t expect that I would have such good luck when I came out to find Tianyin.

But just when Horikita was about to find out if Albert had any other accomplices, Horikita saw Amane sleeping behind Albert.

Albert made a simple awning with solid branches and frames, and then hung his school uniform on it to keep out the rain. Every once in a while, Albert had to get up and wring out the rain water from his uniform.

In order to prevent the canopy built with branches and skeletons from being leaked, Albert even tore his sleeves and used them as ropes to fix the branches and wild boar skeleton together to serve as a canopy.

As for himself, he had been busy changing the water for Tianyin and finally became extremely sleepy. He used the last bit of his sanity to sit down at the front of the awning to block as much of the cold wind as possible for Tianyin.

Horikita was stunned because this matter was too weird.

Is a big guy like Albert really the kind of guy who would protect Tianyin?

Horikita shook her head. She didn't believe that the last person in the rival class would protect Amane.

The two parties should have reached some kind of agreement?

Chapter 226: People to rely on

Seeing Albert who was completely unprepared, Horikita did not dare to be careless. She carefully walked around Albert and came to Tianyin's side.

“Tianyin, Tianyin…”

Horikita gently shook Tenyin and looked towards Albert with vigilance. Without knowing what happened, she did not dare to be careless.

"Um, Lingyin? Why are you here? Am I really still asleep?"

Tianyin turned over in a daze, interrupting the beautiful dream he had just had.

"What is this guy doing..."

Horikita had no choice but to start shaking again.

But Amane fell asleep again in the blink of an eye and obviously would not be disturbed by this level of interference from Horikita. Horikita had no choice but to change her position and grab Amane's ear with one hand.

The moment Amane opened her eyes due to the pain, Horikita quickly covered Amane's mouth.

But the next second, Tianyin took out the dinner knife that was pressed against her body and pressed it against Horikita's throat almost as if by reflex.

Horikita trembled all over and didn't dare to move anymore.

Tianyin shook her head vigorously to try to make herself more awake. When she saw clearly that the person next to her was indeed Horikita, she put the knife away again.

"Lingyin, you almost scared me to death. I thought someone was going to..."

"You nearly scared me to death!"

Horikita raised her voice angrily; she almost got hurt just now.

Although her behavior was indeed inappropriate, she had no choice but to do so since there was no other way to wake Tianyin up.

Who would have thought that Tianyin would carry dangerous goods with him.

Before Amane could answer, Albert was startled by Horikita's voice and turned to look at the two of them.

However, because the night was too dark, Horikita could only vaguely see Albert's eyes.

"Did your friend come to pick you up?"

Albert also remained vigilant. He would not be careless just because the other person was a girl. Tianyin was the best example.

Even if he wasn't paying attention, he was almost successfully ambushed by Tianyin.

"Yeah, this is Lingyin, she's in the same class with me."

Tianyin quickly explained to Albert.

Seeing that Tianyin was indeed very close to the other party, Albert finally felt relieved and nodded silently without saying anything else.

"Hello, my name is Horikita Suzune..."

"You are the one who came to our class to see Miyako that day. I have some impression of you. Since you can come here, you can take Miyako out. Now that the rain is much lighter, you should go back quickly."

Albert had no intention of greeting Horikita Suzune.

He just glanced at Horikita and stopped looking at her.

Faced with this type of boy, she, who was already socially awkward, didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Do you want to go back with us? We will provide you with enough food."

Tianyin patted Albert's strong shoulder in a familiar manner.

Albert was a little tempted. After all, he had been seen through by Tianyin, so it wouldn't matter much even if he went back with them.

But Tianyin was muttering about the key card holder, which made him a little worried.

Although he didn't like to get involved in class affairs, he was not completely ignorant of them. He still tried to remember some things related to the exam, including some things that were not included in the exam rules.

For example, as Mr. Sakagami has instructed, once a key card holder is eliminated, the student's class can select a replacement. If the class does not designate anyone as a replacement, the school will randomly designate one.

That is to say, if he is the only student left in Class C on the island, then he should be the holder of the key card without a doubt. But he doesn't have the key card, even though Ryuuen told him that he would be the only one left. But what if Ryuuen has a backup plan just to be on the safe side?

Albert was carrying out Long Yuan's arrangements in this unknown situation.

Even he himself doesn't know his identity, how can others be sure?

But at the same time, Albert didn't dare to gamble. What if he really was the key card holder, but he didn't know it? Once his existence was exposed, Class C might suffer losses.

So even though Tianyin's proposal made him very excited, he still shook his head in the end.

"I must complete Ryuen-san's arrangement."

Tianyin saw that Albert was determined and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Okay, if you need anything, just come find me in Class D. I have some candy on me, I'll give it to you. I hope it's not soaked in water."

Tianyin threw the small bag of candy she had with her to Albert.

When she went out to track Albert's whereabouts, she didn't carry any food except candy. As long as she had candy to replenish her energy, she would only feel weak even if she didn't eat for a few days, but she would not lose her ability to move.

Therefore, sugar is also a strategic material in special periods.

"Thank you very much"

After receiving the candy, Albert hesitated for a moment but still thanked Tianyin.

"It's okay. If anyone wants to say thank you, it should be me."

Tianyin smiled and pointed to the practical but simple awning next to it.

Albert seemed a little embarrassed and turned his face away.

Tianyin laughed mischievously a few times, then waved goodbye to Albert and walked out with Horikita.

The sound of rain had stopped at this time, leaving only the occasional sound of water drops dripping from the leaves.

The sky was exceptionally clear after a rainstorm; the rainstorm came suddenly and went away gracefully.

If he hadn't been soaked to the skin, Horikita wouldn't even have felt the changes brought about by the heavy rain.

From the moment Tianyin and Albert started talking, Horikita kept silent, watching Tianyin communicate with others skillfully, and then left with ease and happiness.

Now, he watched Amane observing the position of the stars to determine the direction, and then confidently leading the way. Horikita had even forgotten how she got here, but Amane was humming a tune as if she was back home, and moving forward steadily on the muddy road.

Horikita Suzune knew that she could never reach the level of Amane. The more she understood how outstanding Amane was, the more uneasy she felt. Amane initially spoke to her because he didn't know anyone.

But now I know more and more people, and more and more girls are willing to play with Tianyin.

As Tianyin continues to emerge, more people will pay attention to Tianyin. Will Tianyin... really treat herself the same way as before?

Is she the irreplaceable one?

Whether it's Kiryuin or Sakayanagi, they are all girls with excellent abilities, but Horikita feels that she is no worse than them.

All she lacked was an opportunity to demonstrate her abilities.

Tianyin can trust and rely on them without reservation, and she, Horikita Suzune, can do the same.

One day she will be the only one Tianyin can rely on...
