How would you feel then? You would probably hate the voice very much at first, then transfer your feelings to the person who caused it, and feel dissatisfied and annoyed.

This is because your comfort zone did not get the result it wanted, or what you wanted was in someone else's hands, and that person was playing with it without any care.

How can anyone feel satisfied when his or her own personality is challenged?

"........I have thought of a solution, but I don't know if you can accept it." When everyone was silent, Soma Sohei gave hope.

"Can you tell me the plan first?"

"Aren't there unlimited plastic bags? We can take a lot of them and put them under the tent so that the floor won't seem too hard."

"........Hey, this seems to be feasible."

“But there are also negative consequences to doing this.”

Before the girls could feel happy about this solution, Soma poured cold water on them.

"Is there any problem with this......"

"Yes. If you move a little when you are sleeping, the plastic will make a rustling sound. It may affect your sleep."

I thought Soma would mention the serious side effect of possibly violating environmental pollution regulations, but I didn't expect it to be a noise issue.

"I was so scared. I thought it was some serious problem. If it's just this little thing, I think we should be fine."

"It turns out it's just noise, but it's still better than a hard 'mattress'."

"Agree."

"Then there shouldn't be any problem."

"That's a great idea, Soma-san." Ichinose praised happily.

"But will this be considered as polluting the environment? After all, it's plastic..." Sumida made a cautious statement, but it was quickly resolved by Soma.

"As long as it is returned to the school after use, there will be no problem."

"Then I will apply to Mr. Hoshinomiya right away."

"It's time for roll call, students. Please come and assemble."

As luck would have it, it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening, and Teacher Hoshinomiya came over from the independent tent not far from us with a roll call manual.

There is a point deduction item in the guidebook, and if you miss the roll call at 8 am and 8 pm, five points will be deducted. This rule inevitably requires us to concentrate, so this time can be said to be the most chaotic time for us.

We deliberately did not occupy the equipment at the first opportunity, in order to seize the opportunity to gather together and occupy the equipment at this time when there are many people. This can effectively block the sight of peepers.

After finishing a series of tedious discussions and necessary projects, we finally have a brief moment of freedom today.

I wanted to take a closer look at the ants moving on the tree trunk, but Kanzaki suddenly came up to me.

"I think you did this on purpose." Kanzaki stared straight into my eyes.

"What are you referring to?"

"I walked in the direction you said and didn't see the firewood you mentioned, but I accidentally discovered the existence of a cornfield... Could it be that you did this on purpose? Because you didn't want to take the credit for yourself, so you deliberately found a reason to lead me there."

"So you really didn't bring back the firewood I asked you to bring back... Wait, why would I do such a thing? The credit of discovering a corn won't bring me any trouble. In this case, either you went the wrong way, or I pointed the wrong way. I did leave half of the firewood on the road. If you were going in the direction I pointed, then I pointed the wrong way."

"Did you just point at the wrong thing?"

"........Are you flattering me?!" I suddenly understood Kanzaki's guess and expressed my disdain for his method.

"If you want to fool me, give up. I have seen through your tricks."

"I mean it."

"........Are you sure what you are saying?"

"Isn't it very likely that the facts are the same as I guessed?"

"Are you okay? Think about it carefully. I came back with Ichinose. I was able to find the existence of the cornfield along the way. Could it be that Ichinose couldn't find it?"

"........"

I thought my explanation was very reasonable, but Kanzaki still looked at me with suspicion and confusion.

This is probably the situation where you know it clearly, but you can't express what you understand.

"I feel like I'm starting to get confused with you."

"It's obviously you who made things too complicated." I irresponsibly pushed the problem onto Kanzaki.

"But then I'll have to go collect the firewood myself tomorrow." I sighed.

"......I will go with you tomorrow as an apology. By the way, I will see how much truth there is in your words."

"Let's make it clear first. You'll still have to fetch the firewood."

"........."

Chapter 61: Action in Progress

Special holiday exam, survival test on an uninhabited island.

Before the exam, the school gave each class 300 points for the exam and distributed a guidebook. As long as the points spent did not exceed the total amount, each class could buy whatever they needed.

On the same hand, in order to give each class the opportunity to widen the point gap, extra points can be obtained by meeting specific conditions, and will be added uniformly at the end of the assessment and cannot be used during the assessment period.

As for the so-called specific conditions, they refer to 'occupancy of the instrument' and 'identification of the leader'.

On this uninhabited island provided by the school, there are hundreds of occupation instruments, and each location can be used as a test camp for a class. It is a simple and easy thing to do, but a series of additional conditions force us to act cautiously.

The first one is "leader identification", this rule greatly restricts the leader's actions. If someone else sees them during the action, the class will be in danger of losing 50 points.

The second is that the special unlock card can only be used by the leader, and once the candidate is determined, the target cannot be easily changed. This means that if we want to take the opportunity to occupy the base while we go out to find food, we must take the leader out, which creates a risk. At the same time, even if we are discovered, we cannot change the target.

After I understood the rules, I thought of an extremely simple and crude solution. That is to let a physical fitness professional take the lead and use his superior footwork and agility to occupy various strongholds frantically within a week. Even if he is discovered, it will be enough to make up for the loss of 150 points.

Unfortunately, the leader of our class does not have superior physical fitness or agile skills, but is a weak woman.

Of course, this method is too idealistic. It can only be achieved when everyone is clearly aware of something and the lone walkers are completely cut off.

So from the above points, the importance of leaders is obvious.

For this reason, we also made a double insurance to protect the identity of the leader. The first layer is to hand over the special unlocking card to Ichinose Honami for safekeeping, assuming that the leader is known to be Chihiro Shiranami. This way, even if others find out who the special unlocking card is on, they can ensure the safety when identifying the leader.

The second level is the operation and processing when occupying the base. The first team is selected from the class to surround the occupation equipment tightly to prevent the occupation from snooping, while the second team guards the surrounding security. After the occupation is completed, the special unlocking card is passed back and forth in everyone's hands, and finally passed to Ichinose.

Although the content does not make people feel bright and impressive, it is definitely effective in protecting the identity of the leader.

The premise is that the special unlocking card will not be leaked and

--theft.

A person's sleeping posture is related to the health of his or her body organs and sleeping habits. In addition, if you toss and turn in bed, it means you are trying to adjust the spinal fatigue caused by being too active throughout the day.

The latter does not mean that he has a bad sleeping posture, he is just too tired during the day.

So I'm definitely not making excuses for my accidental damage to the tracking watch. If I really want to blame someone, I can really say that it was all Ichinose's fault.

I shouldn't have gone to help collect firewood.

I sighed helplessly at the broken screen. The temperature, heartbeat and positioning systems of the watch all showed abnormalities. Only the count that could barely see the time was still showing off.

Three fourteen in the morning, this is the time now.

I stretched my body, took the damaged watch off my wrist without permission, and placed it on the stone that had had intimate contact with it not long ago.

Then he got down from the hammock noiselessly.

It didn't rain this morning, but even so it didn't affect the humidity of the environment around the forest.

The faint smell of soil, mixed with the fresh smell of leaves and the heavy fragrance of fallen leaves and rotten wood...

I haven't encountered these strange yet familiar smells for more than a year.

But I'm not here for nostalgia.

After making sure I hadn't woken anyone, I slowly walked over to the luggage piled on the plastic mat.

The tents the school distributed to us were not very big. In order to leave enough space for themselves to turn over at night, the girls did not choose to bring their luggage inside. So we boys followed suit, and soon all the luggage of the students in the class was put together.

Originally we also wanted to deal with our personal luggage, but since it seemed that there was no problem doing so, we also didn’t have any extra space to store the luggage.

At first, the tent that the school gave us as a makeshift toilet had some space, but in order to save five points it became the location for the outdoor shower.

If you want to get the underwear of the girl you like in your class, now is definitely the best time.

With the help of the dim light from the moon, I identified the only bag in the luggage that was of a different color, and tiptoed to the edge of the plastic mat.

The mechanism of night vision is relatively simple. Although the rod cells that dominate night vision are much more sensitive to light than cone cells, they do not have the ability to perceive colors like cone cells. Therefore, although we can see things in the dark night, we often cannot feel the color of objects.

Even though I have received special training, I cannot guarantee that I can absolutely identify the color of objects in the dark, but I can still judge the basic differences.

Before the exams started, each of our classes was assigned a backpack of a different color. Because of this, the bag in my hand belonged to Kaneda Satoru, a student from Class C.

Please don't get me wrong, I like him and I don't intend to steal his personal belongings.

I slowed down my movements and tried to open the zipper as silently as possible.

I knew that if I was discovered to have illegally checked other people's luggage at this time, I would definitely be condemned morally, even though the person condemning me was my classmate and there was a reason for it...

I knew something was wrong when I saw Kaneda carrying his backpack. If it was just clothes and toiletries, there would be no obvious mechanical curves on the outside of the backpack.

In addition, the weight of the bag is also a problem. If our luggage only has two sets of replacement clothes, then his bag has the equivalent of ten sets.

Towels, change of clothes, underwear........

Most of the stuff is the same as what we use.

But this is——

I took out the object that felt cold and hard like metal. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the backpack.

.........A digital camera?

After finding the power switch, I turned it on without hesitation. Although Kaneda-san just came to our camp yesterday, it would be better to check it just in case.

“Drip…drip…drip…”

I screened the content in the most direct way possible, and now I can only complete the inspection quickly to avoid causing too much noise.

There were signs of having been used, but the data loaded into it were all photos of the island's scenery, and there were no characters related to our class.

After the search, I made some minor adjustments to the digital camera and then restored everything to its original state.

After finishing the preparations, I was ready to leave the camp, but at this moment I heard a slight friction sound coming from the girls' tent.

That was the sound of a zipper unzipping.

"Chacha——"

The next moment, a faint light from a lantern appeared behind me.

Chapter 62: Midnight Fright

Lovecraft once wrote a famous saying in his book "Supernatural Horror in Literature" - fear comes from the unknown.

There is some truth to this, but it is not absolute.

Fear itself is very simple, just an instinct engraved in our genes, a warning to seek benefits and avoid disasters to protect life. All fears can be attributed to the fear of death itself. As an emotion, although it can serve as a warning at most critical moments, it is also a killer of thinking for unknown things.

Sigmund Freud divided the human psychological structure into three parts: consciousness, preconsciousness, and subconsciousness. Needless to say, consciousness is the senses that we can perceive and recognize in daily life; subconsciousness is difficult to experience in consciousness, including instinctive primitive desires, which are usually not accepted by consciousness; preconsciousness is more casual, located between consciousness and subconsciousness. In the words of this psychologist, it is an "auditor" to ensure that the subconscious does not intrude into the conscious space at will.

Fear is a killer of thought, and perhaps transforming the subconscious into consciousness would be a good way to erase it.

“Kala-ka-la—”

Hmm...is it morning already?

I struggled to open my eyes, but it was still pitch black around me and the girls' breathing was still faintly ringing in my ears.

"Beep, beep, beep -"

Since it's not morning yet, let me sleep a little longer.

I turned over in a tantrum, but because of the hot weather, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and my consciousness became clearer as my body felt hotter and hotter.

Hmm, I should change the tent to a mesh one with ventilation. It's summer but there don't seem to be any mosquitoes around the campsite? It's so hot and stuffy. If the night breeze can get in, it might be cooler.
