What Do You Mean, All Other Personal Belongings Have to Stay in Our Rooms?

Considering that Sakayanagi Arisu's health was not very good and that she might have some difficulty getting up at night, Kamuro Masumi, as her subordinate, deliberately arrived at her dormitory a little early to lend her a hand.

However, while she considered Sakayanagi Arisu's health, she didn't take into account the frequency of use of the dormitory elevator.

Ah, speaking of which, don't students usually go to class at the same time every week?

How can this crappy school possibly support all the students with only two elevators?

Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but think to herself, "What do you mean?"

However, no matter how much she cursed, the elevator would still stop one floor after another before slowly descending to the first floor.

The Little Princess beside her, who had initially stood firmly and held her cane, became noticeably unsteady and frail, with her legs trembling slightly.

That's why she came all the way here.

"Please feel free to leave if you wish." Supporting herself, Sakayanagi Arisu turned her head.

She spoke in a very assertive manner.

But judging from her trembling legs, she was clearly not as tough as she appeared.

Kamuro Masumi rolled her eyes and couldn't help but say:

"If you can't, just squat down. The ground isn't dirty."

Thanks to the Behavioral Norms Exam, everyone's behavior is quite good, and the ground isn't so dirty that it's difficult to sit down.

If you really can't stand up, sitting down won't make a difference.

"... Then, Masumi- san, could you please keep an eye on the elevator for me?" Although she wanted to confidently say that she was fine, Sakayanagi Arisu assessed her own strength and immediately felt that it was necessary to rest for a while. So she decisively squatted down, carefully lifted her skirt, gently patted the clean, dust-free floor with her small hands, and then sat down on the ground.

The moment my bottom touched the ground, a sense of security washed over me.

There's no need to strain to use a cane; it's calm and elegant. Although sitting on the ground, it's still an elegant sitting posture.

Seriously, why did we have to leave at 5 a. m.?

Sakayanagi Arisu also wanted to complain.

She knew, of course, that leaving in the early morning was the most suitable option; rather than wasting their abundant energy on a long commute, it was better to let them set off in the middle of the night and get a good night's sleep in the car.

But this was certainly not kind to a beautiful young girl as sickly as her.

... Mainly, the thought that her much-anticipated trip to the Uninhabited Island would take so long made her inexplicably unhappy.

"--bite."

The scattered thoughts converged at the crisp sound; before Kamuro Masumi's reminder could arrive, the elevator doors slowly opened.

"..."

Sakayanagi's posture of sitting on the floor while waiting for the elevator was clearly visible to the three people inside the elevator.

"... Don't sit on the ground, it's cold." After a moment of silence, looking at Sakayanagi Arisu on the ground, Asakusa Toru said softly.

In an instant, Sakayanagi Arisu's pretty face flushed. She gritted her teeth and, with the help of Kamuro Masumi, got up.

"I don't need you to remind me, Asakusa," she said through gritted teeth as she stepped into the elevator.

Most of the students on the upper floors had probably already gone down, because the elevator wasn't full this time; there were only three people there Asakusa Toru, Ichinose Honami, and Shiranami Chihiro.

Why is Asakusa Toru?

Although it's not fixed, most boys are on relatively lower floors, so he shouldn't be coming down with Ichinose Honami and Shiranami Chihiro.

After a moment's thought, Sakayanagi Arisu recalled the words she had recently written in her diary.

I see. So you went to Ichinose's room specifically to discuss the exam information revealed by that guy in the Diary?

Ah, nothing to worry about.

Quickly regaining her composure, Sakayanagi Arisu and pinched Kamuro Masumi's thigh.

It's all this guy's fault!

Didn't I tell you to remind yourself before the elevator arrives?!

Well, that's bad. Before even exchanging blows, he's already made a fool of himself.

Miss Sakayanagi rubbed her teeth.

As for Kamuro Masumi, whose thigh was being pinched by her...

I didn't use enough strength; it didn't actually hurt at all.

We gathered, took attendance, confirmed the number of attendees, and then boarded our respective class buses in batches.

The sleepy-eyed high school students, filled with anticipation, boarded the bus bound for Tokyo Bay, accompanied by the sound of the engine.

The Advanced Nurturing completely enclosed. Although there is an artificial lake, it is not near the sea at all. The economic value of the coastal area would not make the government allocate land to build this dilapidated school.

Therefore, in order to board Luxury Cruise Ship and travel to the Uninhabited Island, they must take a bus to Tokyo Bay.

This could be considered the first time they had left the small cage of Advanced Nurturing since they enrolled more than three months ago.

In a sense, this can be considered the earliest opportunity that this Advanced Nurturing first-year students could have to interact with the outside world.

Although their movements will still be restricted by the accompanying class advisor, they will be more lenient than when the club goes out to compete.

In any case, the homeroom teachers nominally used the excuse of "rewarding you with a trip" to take them away from the school.

That being said, for the vast majority of unsuspecting students, they were clearly more concerned about the upcoming Luxury Cruise Ship trip than about how to send letters to their parents and relatives.

"Wow! This is amazing! Aa..."

Almost as soon as they boarded the cruise ship's deck, when the dim sky had just begun to lighten, cheers erupted from the crowds of other classes.

Immediately following his lead, more students also tried to shout out loud to express their jubilation.

"What a beautiful view! I'm so touched!"

"Two weeks! A full two weeks of luxury travel!!!"

"I never thought I'd ever come to such a luxurious place in my life. This is the best place for Advanced Nurturing!"

"No matter how you look at it, it must cost hundreds of thousands of yen normally, right?!"

The clamor of discussion and everyone's joyful mood quickly spread among all the students. After all, they were just high school students, and faced with such enormous and luxurious facilities, it was clear that no one could suppress their desire to explore.

Moreover, the school has covered the costs of most of the facilities, providing them with 'free' use.

Free!

Therefore, even though many students were still a little confused, they couldn't contain their excitement and began their cruise adventure.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh--" The cruise ship sounded its deep horn, roaring as it cut through the waves and headed straight for the Uninhabited Island.

Chapter 196 What does it mean to keep all personal belongings in the room except for personal items?

We departed by bus at 5:00 AM, arrived at Tokyo Bay, and boarded the ship.

Just as dawn broke, the Luxury Cruise Ship roared away from the port.

Students are required to have breakfast in the lounge in their class groups, after which they are free to do whatever they want on the ship.

Whether it's watching a movie, getting a spa treatment, or renting various beautiful clothes for free, it's all part of the experience.

All of these are permitted.

This period of freedom will last until noon.

The cruise ship was expected to arrive at their destination, a privately owned Uninhabited Island, around noon.

Private room.

"The lighter... works fine, I brought compressed biscuits, I have enough sanitary products, and I also have basic medications..."

"Yes, nothing is missing."

After anxiously checking all the items she had brought once more, Horikita Suzune finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What worried her most, the thing she thought of just before departure, ultimately did not happen.

Personal belongings are allowed on board.

If she wasn't allowed to bring the supplies she had prepared in advance, Horikita Suzune felt she would really cry.

Is there still about two hours until noon?

The waves lapped repeatedly around the moving cruise ship, and the dim sky began to brighten.

A clear sky, a clear sea.

If she hadn't known beforehand that she was about to face Special Exam, she probably would have enjoyed the trip.

"..."

But the thought of the Special Exam that was coming up made Horikita Suzune a little nervous.

"It's okay, I'll win." She patted her cheeks, encouraging herself.

Then she stood up and walked out of the cabin.

There's no need to wait too long in the room, nor to make the most of your precious rest time on the ship's soft, comfortable bed.

The closer the exam got, the clearer she became that she couldn't possibly fall asleep at this time.

Even if she didn't know what she was going to do outside, whatever she did was definitely better than wasting time lying in bed.

Moist essential oil, soft yet strong hands, patting and pressing.

The delicate scent of lavender filled the room, accompanied by the soft, rhythmic sound of lavender pattering.

"Mmm--" The woman beside him made an incredibly charming sound.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, that's enough." Asakusa Toru interrupted her call with a blank expression.

Undoubtedly, the two were currently enjoying the complimentary spa services offered on board.

As for why they, despite being of the opposite sex, were still in the same room enjoying what should have been a very private activity...

That's all the fault of the Hoshinomiya.

Most spa rooms on cruise ships are double rooms, allowing same-sex friends to enjoy services and chat freely in the same room. Opposite-sex individuals are generally not prohibited from being together.

That being said, male students are relatively less likely to voluntarily seek out massage services at spas.

So it's basically exclusively for women.

Although the strategy for the Uninhabited Island Exam has been decided, with some time still to go before the exam, it's not appropriate to just sit around waiting for time to pass, nor is it possible to do anything that wastes energy at this time.

After much deliberation, Ichinose Honami noticed the spa services offered by the cruise ship and excitedly decided to drag Asakusa Toru along with her.

Therefore, Asakusa Toru should have been living with Ichinose.

"Want to go to the spa?"

"Ah, no, no, I just need to borrow Xiao Che from Honami for a little while."

"However, since we're going to a spa, why don't you come with me, teacher?"

"I've been quite tired lately, Chie, and I need to relax a bit."

For this reason, she rightfully occupied the niche that Ichinose Honami should have occupied.

"Get to the point," Asakusa Toru said coldly, letting the female masseuse behind him perform her massages.

He didn't have a good attitude towards Hoshinomiya Chie.

Even if the other party is his homeroom teacher.

"Hey, I always feel like you have a lot of issues with me, Tetsu." Hoshinomiya Chie pouted, "But it's okay, no matter how Tetsu views Chie, Chie will always like you."

"After all, I'm a teacher~"

If someone else had said those words, Asakusa Toru might have been moved.

Unfortunately, it was Hoshinomiya Chie who said these words.

So, rolling his eyes, Asakusa Toru simply fell silent.

It's Hoshinomiya who needs to contact him, not him.
