Class 2-D's Cultural Festival event was in full swing.
Katsuragi from Oreki's class had finally settled on a plan as well.
They were preparing to do a food-related project.
After all, Class A had money, so they planned to put some of it into the project.
As for Hiyori from Class C—
This was what she said.
"100 Points in class evaluation points only means an extra 10,000 Private Points every month. We don't need it."
She sounded remarkably generous.
Oreki figured she had probably won the Treasure Hunt Game and finally gathered 20 million Private Points.
So she splurged for once.
"So our class can just give up, come in last place, and everyone can go enjoy the Cultural Festival."
That was what Hiyori said too.

Even Oreki had to think about that statement for a moment.
Because 100 Points in class evaluation points really was not much.
Among the current second-years, Class B had lost its confidence in climbing higher, while Class C had completely given up and only wanted to accumulate points at school, then exchange them for cash when they graduated.
As for Class D, as long as no one got expelled, that was enough.
In other words—
The other classes had no desire to push upward at all.
So was it really meaningful to cling to even 100 Points like Katsuragi did?
It just seemed exhausting.

"Students, I have an announcement regarding a special exam," Teacher Majima said. "This is this month's special exam."
"And..." Teacher Majima paused. "This time, you will be taking the exam known as the 'Unanimous Special Exam.'"
Since the equipment had been upgraded, Teacher Majima
