Touch!

With the sound of the starting gun, Sudou rushed out like flying and won the first place with an excellent result of ten meters ahead of the second place.

Is it true that it is cheating in sports?

The audience seemed to be surprised, and then began to applaud.

Then comes the second group.

There was not enough excitement for the moment, and the second group was already in place.

But during the third group, there was a commotion among the students.

"This kind of game is too boring--" Kōenji Rokusuke chose to abstain.

He evacuated from the arena on his own.

"First place."

Oreki, who was also in the third group, won the first place with a slightly faster speed than Hirata of Class C.

As a student of Class A, although the ranking in the individual competition does not result in many points, Oreki is still willing to contribute.

"Next group--"

After the registrar registered everyone's rankings and statistical scores, the next group of students quickly arrived.

Very compact.

All students in the three grades will work on the same project, with a group of 8 people and more than 400 students in the school.

Then you will be given 10 seconds to prepare.

And it will take twenty minutes to complete it all.

Then there is a 10-minute break.

So after Oreki completed the 100-meter project, he had some leisure time.

But he also made some preparations.

After all.

The focus of Sports Festival this time is not on participation, or on such despised rewards as first place and 100 class evaluation scores.

What is important to Oreki is that he can directly recover all the points in Ryuuen's hands.

So let's test it a little bit.

Let's see if the smart Ryuen has discovered that he is being targeted.

Classmate Oreki has 4 little spies harvested on the ship in Class C.

However.

He did not contact them frequently because Ryuuen is a cautious person, so contacting them more means getting caught easily.

At the same time.

If you want to get information, there are people who are suitable.

Like now.

"Group 1!"

The first group of girls also started.

Horikita classmate is a member of the first group of first grade girls.

The Class D girl who plays in this scene is Rei Ibuki. The one who appears to be at odds with Ryuuen is actually the one who arranged for Ryuuen to throw the spy into Class A.

However, it was given to Ichinose by classmate Oreki, and then Class Ichinose was miserable.

However, afterward, Ibuki was not embarrassed about meeting Class Ichinose-level students again.

He is a quite unique person.

At the same time.

VIP Exam on the ship also showed [sense of justice]. He slapped Manabe on behalf of classmate Oreki.

From there, we can see that Ibuki's brain is not working very well.

In other words, it's relatively simple.

Now, Horikita Suzune has won the first place, and although Ibuki is closely behind, it is still a little bit behind, and can only regret that it won the second place.

"Horikita Suzune--"

Ibuki seems to be a little concerned about losing to classmate Horikita.

"Thank you for your hard work."

And classmate Oreki handed one of the two towels to classmate Horikita.

Then he turned around and looked at Ibuki.

This gesture made Horikita Suzune a little confused.

But Oreki is indeed paying attention to Ibuki now.

"Well..."

Ibuki seemed stunned for a moment.

"How about a towel?" said classmate Oreki.

"..." Ibuki.

Ibuki will never forget this student of Class A, and Ryuuen lists Houtarou Oreki as an enemy.

It is also something to be careful about.

Of course.

Ibuki felt that there was another person on the ship who regarded her as a sign of her full sense of justice.

"Aren't you a student of Class A - why are you always with Horikita Suzune of Class C?" Ibuki asked directly.

Hmm.

Almost as soon as Ibuki responded, Oreki knew that Ibuki and Horikita were similar, they were both people who didn't understand people's hearts and couldn't read the atmosphere.

Because can I ask this directly?

But this also shows that Ibuki has no plans.

"Horikita and I have some connections," said classmate Oreki. "But Ibuki, don't you think Class C's Sudou looks very strong?"

"Almost exceeds the athletic talent of ordinary people." Oreki said.

"Um..."

Ibuki seems to have come to his senses.

In other words, did classmate Oreki see Sudou's explosive power and feel... no longer confident?

Indeed.

The girls were behind the boys in the competition, but Sudou of Class C was the first to appear.

Words like "gap" and "cunt" were instantly printed on his face.

Houtarou Oreki is the third group, Ibuki also saw it.

Student Oreki won the first place.

But it is also the first place. The speed of Oreki is okay, but compared with the average speed of Sudou, it is still not enough.

So now the frustration has arisen.

Just like she is.

She has been in special training since she was a child, and her family also opened a martial arts gym. She was able to beat boys in elementary school, but after junior high school, boys began to gain strength, so she needed to use skills.

But by high school, all the skills are useless.

So it's quite frustrating.

In the end, can Horikita Suzune defeat her?

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"I was placed in the recommended event Three-legged Race, and then there was the 1,200-meter all-grade relay."

Classmate Oreki said, "If you meet Sudou, you will always feel a little frustrated."

"..." Ibuki.

So.

That's indeed the case.

"You won't encounter it."

Ibuki said this, and then looked at it, feeling that it was strange to stay here. After all, she, Oreki and Horikita Suzune were in different classes. Although Ryuuen did not prohibit them from talking to anyone, it was indeed strange.

So I left here quickly.

And classmate Oreki has already got the information he wants to know.

Ibuki said he would not encounter it, which means that Ryuuen will solve Sudou before Sudou joins Three-legged Race.

So Sudou cannot participate in Three-legged Race.

The projects that students need to participate in are

① 100m Sprint

② Hurdle Race

③ Bo-taoshi (men only)

④ Ball Toss (female only)

⑤ Gender-Segregated Tug of War

⑥ Obstacle Course Race

⑦ Three-legged Race

⑧ Cavalry Battle

⑨ 200m Sprint

⑩ Scavenger Hunt

11Tug of war in all directions

12 Mixed Gender Three-Legged Race

13 All-Grade Joint 1200m Relay

Among them, the previous individual events were all participated by the whole grade, and the time was particularly tight.

So after some screening, the suitable project to start with is Bo-taoshi.

I only got 3 of Oreki and Voice Recorder, so naturally I have to put them in useful places.

However.

After watching Ibuki leave, classmate Oreki looked at classmate Horikita.

"Today's holding hands changes the situation."

"Huh?" Horikita Suzune was puzzled.

"I want to give him a hug. It's like an insurance policy," said classmate Oreki. "Ryuuen is coming fiercely, so there's no telling what he will do."

"..." Horikita Suzune.

Didn't you sacrifice Sudou?

But Horikita Suzune was used to being touched by him, so she didn't refuse.

Then she quickly felt that classmate Oreki's left and right hands reached into her pants pockets.

However, she quickly discovered that classmate Oreki took his left hand out of his pocket.
