Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

In order not to disturb Ichinose, I could only sigh inwardly.

When we were still a short distance from the camp, I slowly lowered Ichinose from my back. There was no need to worry about her losing strength. Although she didn't say it explicitly, I could tell from the way she played with my arm muscles that her body had recovered.

"Don't you feel tired, Mr. Luo?"

"Well, I'm a little tired. It's been more than 40 minutes, and even carrying a bowl of water is hard work."

As soon as I put Ichinose down, I tried to pull the collar of my sportswear to let air flow through the gap. Because Ichinose and I were so close to each other for a long time and it was hot in summer, the back of my sportswear was completely wet.

"This kind of strength can no longer be described as 'a little bigger'."

"If it was just Ichinose's weight, I think every boy could easily carry you on his back."

"I'm not very light... Even so, there aren't many people who can last as long as Luo Jun."

"That's only because Ichinose didn't let other boys try it."

"How can we easily let others try this kind of thing?"

“But I tried it...”

"I asked Luo Jun to help simply because my strength has not yet recovered. There is absolutely no other reason."

That's totally wrong. You were clearly having fun on the way...

"Well, before we enter the camp, I'll ask you, Luo Jun, remember not to tell anyone about the snake attack on me, okay?"

"I'll remember that. But if you have any problems with your body, you must report to Mr. Hoshinomiya."

"Well...and don't tell anyone about that, or I'll get angry."

"That thing? The inner—"

“Don’t say that anymore!” Ichinose interrupted me with a red face before I could finish my words.

I just simply wanted to confirm.

"I understand. I promise I won't tell anyone."

"If possible, please forget about this incident and pretend it never happened."

"That's a bit unreasonable, after all, she's so cute——"

"Ah—long-winded!"

"I'm just kidding. It may be difficult, but I'll try to forget it."

"It doesn't matter if you don't forget... In any case, don't tell anyone."

"What was that sentence before? Can you repeat it?"

"I didn't say anything before. All I just said was don't tell anyone."

"Yes, I understand."

I returned to the base with Ichinose, carrying the fungus I had picked. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by everyone, although most of the comments were focused on Ichinose.

"You're back?" Kanzaki appeared behind me and took the four bags of fungus from my hands. By the way, the other two bags were in Ichinose's hands.

"Black fungus? Can you find this, too?"

"Well, thanks to Ichinose's careful observation, otherwise we might have missed it."

"It turned out that I was wrong to doubt you before... Is the location marked on the map?"

"It's already been written down on the map of Ichinose. I originally wanted to write it down on your side, but my handwriting might be a bit embarrassing, so I finally held back." As I said this, I returned the folded paper.

"Totally soaked."

"Sorry, I didn't notice."

"........Sometimes I really wonder what you and Ichinose are doing when you go out together."

"I may not have brought my brains, but Ichinose will definitely be fine."

"........"

"If you're really bothered by the blurriness of the map, I'll give you the one here. It's still completely blank, so just copy it again and it'll be done."

"You are also a...genius...for keeping the paper legible..."

"This sentence must not be a compliment."

"It's good that you know...but this way we have a plan for food in the future."

"I guess I can hold on until the exam is over...Did anything happen in the class when we left?"

"It's hard to say what happened. There was a minor problem with the girls' work, but it was dealt with an hour ago. Also, some equipment was damaged for unknown reasons, but the extent was not serious."

Tiny appliance damage...?

After eating some fruits, I was assigned to fetch water from the well. Due to the simplicity of the task and limited tools, I was the only one doing this job.

I would like to take this opportunity to sort out the relevant information I can provide about Kaneda Satoru. His appearance is not outstanding. If I have to say, at least I don't think he has any advantages. The mushroom-shaped hairstyle, the square glasses with gold rims, the slightly narrowed eyes and the high nose bridge all combine to give him the temperament of a conspirator in a second-year movie. Although only a little.

Listening to what he shared with us these days, he is one of the best students in Class C, but the top student is an introverted girl named Shiina Hiyori. Due to class problems, he didn't tell us much about this girl. All we can say is that she is highly educated and taciturn.

The other thing is about the entire C class. The C class is being controlled by Ryuen in a violent way, and they are all doing things according to Ryuen's instructions. Well, there is no difference between saying this information or not. After all, we and the students of D class fully realized this in the last dispute.

"Luo, come here for a moment."

"If you really can't stand the heat, please be patient. I have only filled six plastic bottles, which is far from enough to meet the requirements for watering." I responded to Kanzaki's urging slowly while speeding up my pace.

Don’t you know that forcing others at work to speed up will seriously undermine the enthusiasm of the tools?

"Let's talk about the watering later. I have something else to discuss with you, and it's... more serious."

"Even if you clearly understand the seriousness of the problem, do you still want to ask me for help?"

Could it be that the Kanzaki I know well has been replaced by someone?

"It was Ichinose who asked me to ask you for a favor, and besides, it's only possible that you knew about this."

"......Then there's nothing we can do. It's in the back forest, right? I'll let Souma know first, or I'll get scolded later."

"As fast as possible."

I could only nod helplessly at Kanzaki's urging, and then I took quick action after he left.

"Kaneda-san."

"What's wrong, Luo?"

"Could you please come over and take my place for a while? This happened suddenly, and I was called away by Squad Leader Ichinose to take care of other things."

"But here I am——"

"Please, it only takes a little time. I'll explain your situation to Soma-san, and Shiranami-san will probably come and take over my job for you later."

"Shiro, Shiranami-san?"

"Well... can't I?"

"It's not that I can't. I just find it difficult to communicate with Bai Bo."

"Ah, now that you mention it, Shiranami-san actually dislikes boys..."

As if he could see my difficulty, Kaneda-san finally sighed.

"Anyway, I will help you. After all, I have been taken care of a lot so far."

"Sorry to trouble you."

After finishing my task with Kaneda, I immediately rushed to Soma-san's side and reported the situation to him. Finally, I hurriedly passed Kaneda-san and ran to the agreed back forest.

When I arrived, Kanzaki and Ichinose were already ready.

One of them, Ichinose, looked extremely anxious. When she saw me, she directly told me the reason why she had called me here.

"The special unlocking card is missing."

".......If I remember correctly, the special unlocking card is a card used to occupy the territory. Is that card missing?"

"Yeah, it's gone."

"We renewed the possession rights at eight o'clock in the morning, and the next renewal time is at four o'clock in the afternoon. Isn't it three o'clock in the afternoon now? I wanted to check the special unlocking card, but I didn't find the special unlocking card in my pocket."

In order to avoid the possibility of other classes witnessing the special unlock card and then throwing it all at once, we separated the special unlock card from the leader. Therefore, the update card was not kept by Chihiro Shiranami, but by Ichinose.

"Since it's not in my pocket, could it have fallen inside the tent?"

"No, I searched everywhere I could in the base, but I couldn't find the special unlocking card. So I thought it might have been lost on the road, so I wanted to ask if you found it when we were looking for food outside this morning."

"......I don't have the impression of losing anything," I gave my answer after thinking for a moment, and then thought of that moment again, "Could it be that he was picking fungus--"

"I, I also thought it might be that time, so I wanted to ask Luo if he noticed."

"Wait, why do you all think that when we were picking wood ears, did something strange happen at that time?" Kanzaki asked incisively.

"No, nothing happened, it's just—"

"At that moment, Ichinose had an intimate contact with the ground, and it was the only time." I stated the fact vaguely, and Kanzaki nodded in understanding.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask about the fact that Captain Ichinose fell. But this is indeed the most likely place where he was lost."

"Yes, I think so too..." Ichinose agreed weakly.

"If it was that time, I'm sorry, I didn't notice it, after all, my attention was focused on something else."

"Even if you are picking wood ears, you must keep a close eye on your companions." Kanzaki rebuked me helplessly.

“I’m watching…”

"........"

That being said, as long as Kanzaki doesn't know the facts, my rebuttal will be powerless.

"This matter is mainly my fault. I didn't check it right away. Also, the special unlocking card should have been handed over to Kanzaki-san before leaving..."

"If it's just the unlocking card that's lost, it's actually okay. I've just asked Mr. Hoshinomiya to reissue it, which will take about ten minutes. But the problem is where the card was lost. If it's unfortunate enough to be picked up by students from other classes..."

"In any case, don't tell other students about this matter to avoid causing unnecessary panic. As for the special unlocking card that was lost..."

"I'll go over there and take a look. I still roughly remember the route."

"Then I'll go too."

"No." Kanzaki and I rejected her proposal at the same time. Ichinose was also shocked by our display.

"We will be updating our base soon. If Ichinose is not here, we will not be able to complete the occupation, and your identity will be exposed."

After saying this, I heard the rustling of people leaving.

"But I-"

"What Luo means is that if Captain Ichinose is not here and there are people snooping around, then our tactic of misleading others and covering up the situation will fail. So Luo must be the only one to search."

"Although this tactic has a certain chance of causing the opponent to lose 50 points, the absence of fixed personnel will more or less arouse suspicion."

The crowd was blocked as designated, and Ichinose and I were both within the range. It would be fine if an inconspicuous guy like me was missing, but if Ichinose also disappeared, then we would definitely be suspected.

"But if there is only one person left, then it would be too dangerous."

"At least I won't have any problems with this matter." I assured Ichinose, but her face still showed worry, and it seemed like she wanted to say something.

"If you still can't find it before dark, just come back. After all, the records you can find are very small."

"I'll be back before sunset."

"be careful."

I nodded and left the gathering place of the three of us. Back at the well water location of the camp, Jintian-san had already returned to his post and was busy with the task that he had not completed before.

"Did Kaneda-san succeed in switching?"

"Yeah, it's been transferred. But there are girls in Class B who are difficult to communicate with."

"I'm sorry if this embarrasses you, but thank you for your help."

"It's ok."

After getting a definite answer, I turned around and returned to the prescribed route this morning.
