40 of them.
And since they had gone to such lengths to construct the Artificial Island and had even specially prepared those Card Readers,
then the exam really might have been worth 600 Points.
Kōenji shared some intelligence.
But very quickly,
he noticed the background on Oreki and the others' side.
Oreki and Horikita were in a cabin, and behind them was... a 1.8-meter-wide bed.
At night.
A boy and a girl.
Though they were both still wearing their school uniforms.
Still.
"Oh, you're in a room," Kōenji said. "Would I be interrupting something?"
Kōenji came from a major financial conglomerate and had received an elite education.
However, because he was overly arrogant, he generally looked down on ordinary people.
He felt they had nothing in common to talk about.
But that did not mean he lacked social awareness.
"Hm?"
Horikita Suzune looked confused.
Well.
There was someone here who did not understand the human heart.
Perhaps because he felt there was nothing worth seeing on the Artificial Island, Kōenji swam back at 12:20 a.m.
Then Oreki went to pick him up.
Although he felt Kōenji could have made the round trip himself and climbed up from the anchor alone,
Kōenji had at least genuinely gone to confirm the situation and had swum nearly ten thousand meters round trip.
So Oreki still checked on him.
By then, however, Oreki had already sent Horikita Suzune back to her dorm.
Although her physical condition had recovered today, he still needed to get in touch with her tomorrow.
His newly acquired Restoration Ability could currently restore only one day's physical condition.
Thus, even while picking up Kōenji, Oreki was thinking about someone else.
Then,
he returned to his room and discovered that he had received dozens of messages from Kikyou Kushida.
