Because she encountered a question that wasn't even listed in the answer key.

Question: After the Honnoji Incident, ( ) was sent by Akechi Mitsuhide to attack Azuchi Castle.

The answers were all retainers of Akechi Mitsuhide, but the most prominent one was Akechi Hidemitsu. Even if it was just a guess, he knew that for something as important as attacking Azuchi Castle, it would be safer to send someone with a family relationship.

Therefore, even though the question was a bit tricky, the probability of guessing correctly was quite high, which Shiina could understand.

However, if this was an accident, then the second half of the question is undoubtedly an 'over-the-top' question.

"After being besieged, he packed up all of Akechi Mitsuhide's treasures and catalogs and sent them to Hori Hidemasa, who was besieging the city. However, there was one famous treasure among them, which Hori Hidemasa later inquired about its whereabouts. Its name is ( )."

This question is a fill-in-the-blank question.

In other words, there was absolutely no room for deception.

She only glanced at the answers to the fill-in-the-blank questions that Long Yuan sent to the group, so she was quite certain that this question was not in Long Yuan's answers at all, and that the question was extremely obscure and definitely beyond the scope of the curriculum.

Because no normal person would know that the answer would be Kurikara's Yoshihiro Enokichi.

Shiina knew the answer to this question because she had a broad knowledge base; she had read about it in a novel, which enabled her to answer it.

This is almost beyond the scope of the history subject...

If fill-in-the-blank questions have changed so much, what about multiple-choice questions?

Is the question that seemed so simple to her really exactly the same as the answer key?

Shiina looked around and saw that many people had a bitter expression on their faces, which meant that many of the other questions did not match the answers at all.

It seems that Class A tricked them this time. I wonder if Longyuan will fly into a rage during the exam... If Longyuan can't control his emotions, even if the proctor is Class B's own homeroom teacher, he can't just sit idly by, because normal exams are conducted under strict monitoring, and any out-of-line behavior will result in the immediate cancellation of the exam score.

While Shiina was still worried that Ryuen might have a meltdown on the spot, Ryuen himself was re-examining the exam paper.

He was basically certain that at least 30% of the test questions did not match the answers, but to say they were completely different would be unfair to them. If they performed normally, Longyuan should be able to get a passing score, but it would be wishful thinking to think they could surpass the total score of Class A.

Whether it was Totsuka or Sakayanagi who was working against him, it was no longer important.

This was clearly something someone did on purpose, and it even conveniently saved face for Longyuan.

Of course, Ryuen could use the discrepancy between the answers and the test paper to cause trouble for Class A and use it as an excuse to vent his anger. But how would the person who planned this incident behind the scenes view it at that time?

They must have been watching his performance from the shadows with the same kind of disdain one might have shown a monkey jumping around like a monkey.

How could Longyuan possibly give the other party the chance to make a fool of himself?

"Sakayanagi... Hmph, you'll have to pay this price sooner or later."

Chapter Sixty: Two Reindeer

After the final exams, there will be a fairly long vacation, since the exam results won't be released until mid-December. So, it's like we've already started getting used to winter break life.

Because of the holiday, Amane couldn't continue to inquire about what happened in the village, while things were quite lively on Kushida and Sato's side.

More and more rumors, both true and false, began to circulate in the class, most of which were related to Sato.

Being the leader of a small group for the first time, she was completely clueless about how to handle this situation and quickly became overwhelmed, forcing her to seek help from Ayanokouji. Ayanokouji, following Amane's instructions, perfectly analyzed that her opponent was Kushida.

It wasn't until winter break was almost here that Sato figured out who his enemy was. Not to be outdone, Sato adopted the most decisive tactic: if he couldn't handle it, he wouldn't bother.

So she directly accused Kushida of spreading rumors in the class group, and the reason was quite good. It was a rumor related to Inogashira. Inogashira said that she had only told Kushida about this.

Originally, due to Kushida's influence, everyone would have been more inclined to side with Kushida. However, because Kushida had become somewhat obsessed with spreading rumors, a lot of things that only she and the parties involved knew were made public.

As more and more people began to accuse Kushida, he quickly became known as a leaker, and his reputation plummeted.

At this point, Kushida no longer cared about reputation; she only wanted Sato, who dared to provoke her, to disappear from her sight forever.

So Kushida took the initiative to admit that she had leaked the secret, and even asked each of those who accused her if she had said their exact words.

In an instant, the entire class was drawn into this conflict.

Sato joined the fight in order to become the next female leader after Karuizawa, while Kushida, unable to tolerate Sato's arrogance and haughtiness, directly exposed herself and dragged all those who had trusted her into the mess.

Meanwhile, those whose secrets were leaked are in an even more awkward position, because what is considered a 'secret' is nothing more than talking badly about others behind their backs, aside from things that are related to themselves.

In just a few days, Kushida caused the entire interpersonal relationship in Class C to fall apart.

This incident had such a significant impact that it even alarmed the chairman of the board, who personally ordered Kiriyama to resolve the chaotic situation in Class C of the first year before the start of the new semester.

After receiving the order, Kiriyama began preparations. The specific plans were still unknown to Amane, but according to Sakayanagi's inside information, Kiriyama went to Horikita for advice.

Given Horikita's level of muddling through... can he really handle this kind of situation? Amane expressed some doubts.

Tianyin returned to her room today, which was a rare occurrence for her.

Because Christmas was just around the corner, Amane needed to do a thorough cleaning and decoration of her room, so she took this opportunity to finally return to her room.

Then she was so shocked by what she saw that she couldn't speak.

"Why... are the two rooms decorated exactly the same?!"

Tianyin clutched her head and screamed in agony.

She had no recollection of decorating her dorm room exactly like Lingyin's.

Apart from the previously renovated super-large multi-functional kitchen, the rest of the layout is almost identical to that of the neighboring house, a scene that left Tianyin somewhat amused and exasperated.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, the knives, which had cost a huge amount of points to purchase, were now covered in a layer of fine dust due to long-term neglect.

I used to really enjoy cooking, but ever since I started eating and drinking at Horikita's place, I seem to have rarely touched these kitchen utensils anymore.

After rinsing the dust off the knife with water, Tianyin wiped the water droplets clean with a dry cloth. She even did a few knife twirls. Seeing that her skill level hadn't dropped too much, Tianyin happily put the knife back in its place.

Next came the big cleaning. Since the furniture and decor were exactly the same as Lingyin's room, Tianyin cleaned it with ease and only took about half an hour to clean the dormitory. However, looking at the room that was so familiar, Tianyin always felt that something was missing.

"When it comes to Christmas, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely..."

Tianyin touched her lips, her eyes sparkling.

"Reindeer!! And a Christmas tree! But if the Christmas tree is too small, it doesn't really matter, and if it's too big... the room probably won't fit."

Tianyin glanced at the height of the dormitory and realized that putting a Christmas tree in the room would be a bit of a challenge.

However, if it's just a reindeer... it seems like the room size could accommodate it.

"But it would look a bit odd to put only one, so let's make two."

Tianyin took out her phone and carefully wrote down her plan to prepare two reindeer to decorate the room in her notes app.

Just as Tianyin was about to start preparing for the reindeer herding, the doorbell rang from the entrance hall.

Tianyin hesitated for a moment before walking towards the entrance, although Lingyin

It was in the next room, but Amane didn't think Horikita would look for her at this time, and even if he did, he wouldn't just use the doorbell properly.

Among her acquaintances, those who visit alone are usually the type who rarely ring the doorbell. Now that someone has come to see her, it's more likely that they are accompanied by one or more people.

Through the peephole, Amane saw Karuizawa and Matsushita, both wearing thick coats, talking about something through the door.

Amane casually opened the door. Seeing the door open, Karuizawa rushed in without even saying hello. After taking off her shoes, she kept saying things like she was freezing to death while rubbing her red, frostbitten hands. But after taking only a couple of steps inside, she froze in place, completely still. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was really frozen.

"We hope our visit at this time hasn't disturbed you, Tianyin?"

Seeing the delicious-looking mousse cake in Matsushita's hand, Amane quickly shook her head.

"How could it be a bother? I'd love for you guys to come visit me more often. I'm so bored playing alone in my dorm every day."

"Huh? Horikita-kun isn't here?"

"Lingyin can't play every day."

"Huh???"

Matsushita blinked, wondering if he had just heard something he shouldn't have.

"Since you're already here, why be so polite? What would you like to drink? I'll go and get it for you."

Amane quickly took the cake and placed it on the table, then casually pinched Karuizawa's cheek, which was still sunken in.

The movements were executed flawlessly, making Matsushita a little embarrassed.

After Matsushita took two more steps inside, she realized why Karuizawa was standing there.

"Did I...go to the wrong room?"

"No, welcome to my dorm, you two little reindeer! If you have no other requests, then some black tea will do~"

"Reindeer?"

Chapter 61: Where did you take that out from?

"We knew you and Horikita were close friends, but did you really go so far as to decorate your dorm rooms exactly the same? Even the doghouse is the same. Speaking of which... I remember we're not allowed to keep pets in the dorms, so why did you and Horikita waste space building a doghouse in the dorm?"

Karuizawa poked the large soft cushion that was being used as a doghouse with her finger as she spoke.

"Hui is going too far! That's clearly where I rest when I play games, not some doghouse!"

Amane protested against the Karuizawa doghouse claim, though the latter seemed quite surprised by her expression.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Even a pet dog would have trouble lying down in this cramped space... right?"

Before Karuizawa could finish speaking, Amane slipped inside and gave a demonstration.

For a moment, Karuizawa was speechless and could only silently cover his face.

"It really does seem to suit Tianyin very well."

Matsushita, taking a sip of red tea, couldn't help but praise the Amane seat as it blended perfectly into the cushion.

Upon seeing this, Tianyin immediately echoed her sentiments.

"That's right! It's clearly Hui who doesn't know what's good for her, hmph~"

Seeing Amane's smug look, Karuizawa couldn't help but turn around and roll his eyes at Matsushita.

"Matsushita, you're getting better and better at spoiling her."

"Oh, not at all. Compared to someone who spent an entire morning just choosing a gift, I don't think mere praise counts as pampering. Besides, Tianyin looks like a fluffy little ball inside, isn't it adorable?"

Matsushita got up and came to Amane's side, rubbing Amane's head. Amane, who was sinking into the cushion, looked very comfortable.

Looking at it this way, it really does look quite like a pet.

"Honestly, I told you not to bring that up."

Karuizawa blushed and muttered something under her breath before returning to her seat. After taking a sip of perfectly warm black tea, her complexion returned to normal.

"By the way, Tianyin, what is this reindeer you just mentioned?"

Matsushita suddenly remembered that Amane had mentioned something about two reindeer before.

Upon hearing the word "reindeer," Tianyin immediately crawled out from under the cushion.

"A reindeer is a reindeer! Christmas is coming soon, right? I'm planning to get two reindeer to put in my dorm room as decorations."

There are still about ten days until Christmas, but you can already see Christmas-related elements being gradually replaced everywhere in the school.

It's said that it might snow in a few days, which will undoubtedly add a touch of fun to this year's Christmas.

"Why don't we just buy some other decorations for Christmas? Tianyin, why do you insist on reindeer?"

Karuizawa looked at Amane with curiosity.

It's not like most girls would think of using reindeer as decorations during Christmas, a holiday so romantic.

Besides, if you just put reindeer in the room and it's just flowers, no one else can see it. In other words, Tianyin's actions are simply to satisfy her own hobby, but using reindeer as a hobby is somewhat...

"Because reindeer are cute!"

Tianyin answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Karuizawa and Matsushita exchanged a glance, and even Matsushita, who always considered himself to be very tolerant, couldn't help but shrug.

Tianyin's aesthetic sense and tastes... are really not something to be complimented.

However, looking at the brown bear plush toy that Amane was using as a body pillow, Karuizawa vaguely understood Amane's preferences.

"Speaking of reindeer... I think I have a coupon for a toy store here. I don't know if it will come in handy. I think I received it a long time ago when they opened."

Karuizawa said, pulling out a coupon that looked a bit crumpled.

"More than a coupon, I'd like to know where you got it from?"

Amane glanced at Karuizawa's outfit. Although her upper body did look like it was winter, with a large light blue trench coat draped over her shoulders, her lower body seemed to be stuck in summer, and her exposed thighs looked cold just by looking at them.

To check if Karuizawa was wearing anything else to keep warm, Amane touched her thighs and found that Karuizawa really didn't have any warm clothing at all.

Of course, the consequence of doing so was that the back of her hand turned bright red. Seeing Karuizawa's murderous gaze, Amane could only reluctantly withdraw her hand. It was just a few minutes of touching, tsk, so stingy! Amane pouted.
