Was Classmate Sakayanagi really this meticulous?
Or rather.
Was she training Kamuro?
But she had trained him all the way down to his daily meals, and Kamuro still did not resist at all?
Watching the scene, Oreki quickly thought of the Precognitive Dream, where Kamuro became Sakayanagi Arisu's driver ten years later.
"By the way, do you hate Sakayanagi Arisu?"
Oreki asked.
"Hm?"
The tall purple-haired girl with three hairpins immediately looked over.
"Are you recording me?"
"..." Oreki fell silent.
It seemed Kamuro was rather dissatisfied with Classmate Sakayanagi.
"I think it would be better if you accepted your fate sometimes." Oreki took a sip of the free cola. "You can't beat Sakayanagi Arisu."
"What do you mean, accept my fate?"
But Kamuro did not seem to like those words.
"As long as my academic ability catches up, I'll be the same as the other Class A students."
"Then I won't need her anymore," Kamuro said.
"Is that so? But Classmate Sakayanagi has your weakness in her hands," Houtarou Oreki said.
"Heh—" Kamuro seemed to sneer.
Then she quietly began drinking her milk tea.
Exposing her weakness to Sakayanagi Arisu had already been an incredibly stupid thing to do. She would not expose herself to Oreki as well.
Otherwise, she really would end up with two masters.
Besides.
She had followed Oreki around for several days now, yet he had never pulled her into any money-making schemes.
That sort of thing—
At that moment, Katsuragi walked over.
"Oreki," Katsuragi said. "Regarding this exam—"
"Yesterday, I discovered that the cruise ship has been moving in a constant-speed circular path around the Deserted Island," he said.
"And now, the cruise ship has approached the Deserted Island."
"So I think this exam's testing ground is very likely related to the Deserted Island."
