It Turns Out I Was the One Who Changed Ibuki's Ambition? Then What About Shiina? (Part 2) (Continued)

And Horikita Suzune was doing exactly that now.

She had merely paused while continuing to set up camp.

Because someone had walked over, crouched beside her, watched her use the hammer, then extended his left hand and pressed the iron nail straight into the ground.

"Houtarou Oreki?"

Horikita Suzune hurriedly called out his name.

"Yeah. It's me," Oreki said. "Need help?"

"..." Horikita Suzune.

You've already helped, haven't you?

"I saw your Points. You've reached tenth place," Oreki said. "I'm pleased."

Was that so?

Because the tablet could only check the information of the top ten and bottom ten.

The search function had been unlocked the day before yesterday.

But Horikita Suzune had been unable to find any information on Houtarou Oreki.

So this was indeed how it was.

This guy was well-rounded in both physical ability and every other aspect.

She had not seen him in the assignments over the past few days and had thought he had fallen behind, but that was fine. After all, Rokosuke Kōenji was the one being backed in this exam, so he should be the one to take first place.

So Oreki should slack off when he ought to slack off. It would be troublesome if he overshadowed Kōenji.

But.

"Kōenji slacked off," Oreki said. "But then he teamed up with me again."

"So now I have to work hard on my own."

Oreki gave a brief explanation.

That really did suit Kōenji's style.

Horikita had already accepted that this former classmate of hers ranked number one in unpredictability.

But Oreki was also rather excessive. He had tricked Rokosuke Kōenji with a challenge, only to slack off completely himself.

Yet all of that was work-related thinking.

Horikita Suzune was also forcing herself to think about such matters.

What she truly cared about now
