She Seems Like She's About to Die

"Ugh--" Seeing him shut up, Hoshinomiya Chie showed a wronged expression, but before she could even breathe, the masseuse behind her increased the pressure slightly: "Mmm--"

"Mmm... ah... gently, gently, it tickles so much, hahaha--"

Having been hit in a sensitive area, Hoshinomiya Chie laughed and joked for a while before suddenly getting down to business.

"Xiao Che should know that Chabashira Sae and I are good friends, right?" she said quietly. "As a good friend, the most important thing is to help her face reality."

"Unnecessary fantasies are unnecessary."

With her fingertips brushing aside the strands of hair that were scattered on the bed, Hoshinomiya Chie, who was lying on the bed, turned her head.

"I've always felt that she should have realized this a long time ago."

She sighed deeply, "But every time this happens, something unexpected always manages to ignite unnecessary hope in her."

How can Joker be put in Class D?

Only defective products can be placed in Class D.

The only difference is the degree of flaw.

Although it was just a spark of hope, Hoshinomiya Chie did not want to see it reignite.

Even if this so-called spark is just a parent's message to the school expressing their wish for their child to 'drop out'.

Looking at Hoshinomiya Chie, who had turned her head, he saw her beautiful figure displaying the charm of a mature woman. Her body pressed against her shapely breasts, and her fair skin moved freely under the massage therapist's touch, showcasing the radiance of a mature woman to the fullest.

Without looking away or avoiding her gaze, Asakusa Toru simply stared at her, his expression unchanged, and softly revealed his attitude:

I hate riddle tellers.

A good riddle is one that comes out of your own mouth.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, did I cause any trouble for Tetsu?" As if just realizing it, Hoshinomiya Chie looked apologetic. "Tetsu probably couldn't understand what the teacher was saying at all, right?"

"The teacher's meaning is actually very simple."

"Didn't you sign an agreement with Class D with Honami before?" After much buildup, Hoshinomiya Chie finally revealed her purpose. "The teacher wants you to give up your 'mutual help' plan."

During the midterm exams, in order to save the students in Class D from failing and dropping out, they signed a loan agreement with Class D.

Each participant contributes Private Points, while also engaging in a certain degree of 'mutual assistance,' and it is agreed that when Class D's Class Points exceed a certain number, a fixed portion will be allocated for repayment.

There was a sentence in that contract that read:

Party A will provide as much assistance as possible to Party B in subsequent Special Exam to improve Party B's Class Points.

It's not absolute, but it's a statement clearly written in the contract.

But if it were Ichinose, she would definitely choose to lend a helping hand.

Hoshinomiya Chie wouldn't want to see this happen.

Even if the Class D, which has been helped up, receives a continuous stream of financial support due to the existence of the contract.

Therefore, she deliberately 'borrowed' Asakusa Toru during the time before the Special Exam began.

Only he could influence Ichinose; only he could, as she wished, lock away all hope for Class D.

The flame should be extinguished when it flickers.

"Don't be so quick to refuse." With a smile, Hoshinomiya Chie followed the masseuse's instructions and turned over slightly.

Thus, her beautiful figure, without any attempt at concealment, was displayed directly before Asakusa Toru's eyes.

The massage seemed to be over, but the diffused aromatherapy oils needed time to be absorbed. Just as if not intending to disturb them, the two masseuses set a timer and then quietly left the room.

Her white, jade-like toes fell from the bed and touched the ground. A few steps later, Hoshinomiya Chie turned and sat down next to Asakusa Toru, who had also turned over.

Her hand was quite audacious, tracing across his chest.

"If you Chie to what I say..." she smiled, "Perhaps Chie can try to teach you something that Ichinose can't do?"

What a beautiful face.

She has a really nice figure.

She thought.

Actually, Hoshinomiya Chie's sense of crisis wasn't particularly strong.

After all, Class D only has a few dozen points right now, so even if they win this Special Exam, there's absolutely no chance of a comeback.

Even if you gave Chabashira Sae a few more Joker, let alone a Joker, she still wouldn't have any chance of turning the tables.

Although she really wanted to kill Chabashira Sae, she didn't actually have any need to sacrifice her body to make Chabashira Sae despair.

On the contrary, some are driven by the needs of such young and vigorous bodies.

That's great, high school boy.

I really want to find any excuse to eat it.

As expected of Honami, he always eats very well.

"I'm going to report you for harassment." Asakusa Toru's face darkened as he grabbed his homeroom teacher's hand, which was reaching for a certain spot.

Is this woman crazy? Why is she reaching out her hands like that?

To be honest, Hoshinomiya Chie basically embodies all the elements of a popular character.

She's good-looking, has a great figure, is mature and charming, and approachable.

He wouldn't mind just glancing at it.

But when it comes to actually doing something... I'm a little hesitant.

You can't exactly find a way to give a bitch a hymenoplasty and then casually have sex with her, can you?

He doesn't really lack a friend like Hoshinomiya Chie.

"Eh--" Hoshinomiya Chie's face fell. "Why is it like this--"

Ignoring her affected manner, Asakusa Toru walked away and casually draped a towel over his shoulders.

"It's almost time," he said.

"Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep--"

As soon as the words were spoken, the timed alarm rang, followed by, as expected, the broadcast announcement.

"Attention all students. If you have time, please gather on the deck. We will soon see the island. You will surely see some very interesting sights in a short time."

The sound of approaching the destination, arriving several minutes early, signaled the start of the exam.

"Anyway, teacher, I'll pretend I didn't hear you say that." Before leaving, Asakusa Toru said, "Class D will stay where they belong."

Even if you do nothing.

Turning around, Asakusa Toru walked out of the room.

After changing clothes, Asakusa Toru, along with Ichinose Honami and Shiranami Chihiro had also finished their spa treatments at the same time, walked out of the spa area and arrived at the ship's side.

At this moment, the outlines of distant islands could finally be faintly seen in the vast blue sea.

Perhaps by coincidence, a girl named Horikita Suzune happened to be standing in a similar position near where they had come out to look at the Uninhabited Island.

"..."

The cruise ship beneath their feet began circling the island, as if to reveal the entire Uninhabited Island to the students.

On the deck, the students from Class D seemed to have gotten into a bit of a commotion with the students from Class B. In the restaurant a little higher up Katsuragi Kohei picked up a pen and began to draw a map of the islands in sight. Sakayanagi Arisu sat by the stands, chuckling as she drew a map in her mind.

She doesn't need paper and pen to record physical objects.

Ryuen Kakeru stared blankly at the vast Uninhabited Island, his face revealing no emotion.

Asakusa Toru glanced at it briefly, piecing together the island's outline in his mind before paying it no further attention.

Taking detours is just an aid to observation; to truly cheat, you need to look at the Mini-map.

"That's fine then. Tell the class to have something to eat one last time." Shaking his head, Asakusa Toru casually instructed Ichinose Honami.

The ship's free restaurant still provides meals, and what students eat is their last advantage in maintaining social distancing.

Asakusa Toru's voice wasn't loud, but he didn't deliberately lower his volume either; at least Horikita Suzune, who was not far away, could hear it clearly.

... Eat something?

Yes, we need to have a meal before going to the island.

Awakened by this, Horikita Suzune quickly caught up with the three, confirming the shape of the island she had memorized while estimating her stomach capacity and wondering what to eat.

Soon, the brief detour ended, and new announcements began to echo all around.

"We are about to disembark on the island owned by our school. Students, please change into your sportswear in thirty minutes and, after confirming that you have all your bags and luggage, please bring your mobile phones and assemble on the deck. Please leave all other personal belongings in your rooms. Since you can still use the restrooms for now, please take care of your needs first."

The broadcast was repeated three times, and every word was crystal clear.

So clearly, Horikita Suzune's hand, which had just picked up her chopsticks, began to tremble uncontrollably.

What do you mean by keeping all personal belongings in the room except for these?

Chapter 197 She seems to be dying.

Horikita Suzune felt a little dizzy.

My vision began to blur, and a buzzing noise rose in my ears.

But the sound of the broadcast was fatally clear.

She could only hear one sentence from the entire broadcast, and could only understand one meaning.

'No personal belongings allowed'

In other words, the preparations she made, the hardships she endured, and the days she lived frugally.

--All of it is meaningless.

The school doesn't allow us to bring them at all.

The food in front of me suddenly lost its aroma; it became bland and even somewhat bitter in an instant.

Her preparations weren't actually that extensive; the cost was only a little over ten thousand Private Points.

But...

She borrowed money!

She specifically borrowed money from Kushida Kikyo!

My heart aches, it hurts so much, I can't breathe.

The thought of all the suffering I've endured, all the wild vegetable meals I've eaten for so long, all the scrimping and saving for so long, and all the money I had to borrow from friends to buy all these things...

--None of them can be brought.

Horikita Suzune just wanted to die.

Yes, why did it take until right before boarding to realize that the Special Exam might not allow personal belongings?

Why didn't you think to leave a message to confirm before?

Does not writing in Diary mean it's perfectly acceptable?

... Damn it.

"... Ugh."

Stiff, mechanical, and almost on the verge of tears, Horikita Suzune forced the particularly unpalatable food into her mouth.

At least, at least eat more rice...

"Ha, so they really don't allow it?"

Listening to the radio in his ear, Ryuen Kakeru sneered.

Thanks to Shiina Hiyori's prior warning, he had anticipated this outcome.

"Pass the word down, tell them to find a way to stuff them in their clothes, as many as they can." He waved his hand, ordering Ishizaki around. "Whether they put them in their underwear or hide them in the soles of their shoes, tell them to find a way to bring as many as possible!"

Fortunately, he hadn't prepared much, especially since he had distributed the supplies among the forty students in Class C. The few boxes of supplies could still be hidden in small quantities.
