But.
A million.
She was in charge of guarding supplies here, and six days had already passed, yet the supplies side had not even earned a million.
And yet Classmate Oreki could immediately pocket a million on the spot.
He really was good at making money.
"So."
Since Nagumo had written another one-million IOU, and they had done business a few times before,
Classmate Oreki decided to trust his character for once.
Besides, selling ten minutes for a million was not the first time he had done it.
The last time had been with Principal Tsukishiro. Back then, he had wanted to see what Principal Tsukishiro was up to. Now that Nagumo had appeared so strangely, he wanted to see what Nagumo was planning as well.
Thus,
the three of them walked into the forest together and stopped around five hundred meters in.
"What problem did you run into?" Oreki turned around and said. "The students guaranteed to finish at the bottom have already been arranged."
"The last three places will be taken by three solo students from Class 1-D. Then Class 1-D will send out another solo student, along with Sakura from Class 2-D, to secure fourth- and fifth-from-last."
"And I already told you who to bet on for Hitchhike. Choose Rokosuke Kōenji," Classmate Oreki said.
"This is it!" Nagumo suddenly seemed to grow excited. "This is it!"
Was that so?
Kōenji, huh.
Twenty minutes earlier, Kōenji had withdrawn.
Nagumo's information was that fast?
"Regarding Kōenji—" Classmate Oreki had just been about to explain.
But Kiriyama cut in first. "Nagumo bet on your name, not Kōenji's. And you're not even in the top thirty, so he lost big."
Huh?
Hearing that, Oreki looked over in surprise.
