Chapter 149

[Kanji Ike]: "If it's this size, it can fit into the ventilation hole. All that's left is to use the camera on the remote-controlled car to confirm, and then move it forward inside the ventilation hole. Moreover, the footage can be saved to the memory card on the remote-controlled car itself!"

[Yamauchi Haruki]: "Oh! That's amazing! That would be perfect! Right, Ken!"

[Ken Sudō]: "Yeah... it feels like a TV drama."

[Kanji Ike]: "How about it! Perfect, right!"

After a conversation between several fools, a familiar voice came through the recording again, revealing an important piece of information—

[Ayanokoji Kiyotaka]: "Could it be that the Professor was also involved in this spying?"

[Kanji Ike]: "W-Why do you know about this?!"

Ayanokoji was present at the scene, specifically spoke up to explain, "The Professor is Sotomura Hideo, a friend of Yamauchi and the others, and he is very skilled in mechanical technology."

"If it were Chi himself, he probably wouldn't have thought of such a plan, let alone come up with a blueprint. A wireless remote-controlled car isn't something you can easily buy."

"The Professor is very good at collecting data. He was once asked by Yamauchi and the others to record the girls' swimsuits during Swimming class, and he also made a ranking and odds table of the girls with large breasts in the class."

"If it's him, he should be able to gather all sorts of information about the locker room and prepare props like the remote-controlled car."

Upon hearing this introduction, all the girls present unanimously showed expressions of disgust.

Even some of the boys were starting to lose their composure.

What does it mean to "document girls' swimsuits" and "create a ranking and odds table of girls with large breasts in the class"?

Is Class 1-D really that outrageous?

"This year's freshmen are truly full of talented people and outstanding individuals!"

Miyabi Nagumo chuckled coldly, but in her heart, she added another name to the list of those she wanted to take revenge on.

You're Sotomura Hideo from Class 1-D, right?

You'd better pray that your group's plan completely fails!

The recording continued, and Kanji Ike began to explain his specific battle plan.

[Kanji Ike]: "Tomorrow, Kushida will be taking all the girls in the class to the Swimming. That means we need to get into the changing room early and immediately occupy the front of the innermost ventilation shaft. If there are any users... Sudo, even if you have to threaten them, you have to drive them away."

[Kanji Ike]: "Next, the three of you need to spread out towels to change clothes and form a human wall so that no one can see you near the ventilation opening. I'll quickly open the vent's fixing device and throw it into the remote-controlled car. Because I'll be operating it, you need to help me cover up so that no one can see what I look like."

[Kanji Ike]: "The rest is just operating the remote-controlled car, parking it in front of the girls' changing room to record. After I determine that they've finished changing, I'll retrieve the remote-controlled car... That's the plan."

The plan sounds simple, but the problem is, these idiots actually carried it out.

[Ken Sudō]: "I'll use intimidation to drive away the troublemakers, or at least prevent them from getting any closer, right?"

[Kanji Ike]: "Do you understand? Do you understand how powerful this Operation Delta is?"

[Yamauchi Haruki]: "No, but Kanji, this should be considered a crime, right...? I feel like this crime is even more serious than voyeurism?"

I never imagined that someone like Yamauchi Haruki could feel guilt, or perhaps it was simply fear?

But none of that mattered, because they were quickly persuaded by Kanji Ike to put all their worries aside.

[Kanji Ike]: "Strictly speaking, this is indeed a crime, but look back at your own past. You must have committed similar sins as well!"

[Ken Sudō]: "Huh? What do you mean? I haven't committed any crime."

[Kanji Ike]: "Then let me ask you, Ken. Using violence to harm others is a crime, right? If an adult beats someone, it will be reported on the news on TV, right? Haven't you committed violence before?"

[Ken Sudō]: "That's... fighting and violence are two different things."

[Yamauchi Haruki]: "Unfortunately, I've never committed violence."

[Kanji Ike]: "So, Haruki, did you never do anything like licking a girl's recorder or smelling her gym clothes when you were in school?"

[Yamauchi Haruki]: "Hmm..."

Hearing Yamauchi Haruki's unassailable words, Aragaki Shun felt a toothache; what kind of garbage is this Class D?

I've really learned something new today; I finally understand the diversity of the human species.

[Kanji Ike]: "If an adult did the same thing, then that would be a crime!"

[Yamauchi Haruki]: "Yes, that's definitely true."

[Kanji Ike]: "In other words, as long as one is a minor, these things are permitted. If we don't do it now, when will we?"

Clearly, this is what Kanji Ike act recklessly.

Sakurajima has regulations protecting minors. They are still high school students, so even if they commit serious crimes and are caught, the punishment they receive will not be as severe as that for adults.

So, naturally, Yamauchi Haruki and Ken Sudō quickly put aside their few concerns and made up their minds to participate in the operation.

On the surface, only Ayanokoji is still opposing it.

[Ayanokoji Kiyotaka]: "Are you really not worried? This is a crime."

[Kanji Ike]: "I already said it, Ayanokoji. Licking a recorder is a crime, peeping while changing clothes is a crime, so taking photos without consent would also be considered a crime. But that's youth! Even if a boy peeks at a girl changing clothes, he'll only get a warning, not be arrested. That's how it is, isn't it!"

[Ayanokoji Kiyotaka]: "But, if this gets exposed, even if we don't get arrested, we might still be expelled from school."

[Kanji Ike]: "If you're afraid of dropping out of school, how can you still peep?"

"Oh--!!!"

The recording included cheers from the three idiots of Class D, and then the criminal plan finally ended with Ayanokoji's final words, "I had no intention of participating."

"Even if minors commit crimes, they'll only be expelled from school, not arrested... Haha~ You're really confident!"

Aragaki Shun repeated the phrase "these people rely on" with a cold expression, then looked at Manabu Horikita with a half-smile.

"President, what do you think?"

218. Miyabi Nagumo: Let's drop Ayanokoji out of school too.

In the eyes of Kanji Ike and others, even if minors commit crimes, they will only be expelled from school, not arrested.

Relying on the legal protection of minors, these fools hesitated for only a few seconds before their lust got the better of them and they planned this Operation Delta, intending to use a remote-controlled car to secretly film the women's changing room at the Swimming.

Fortunately, after receiving Ayanokoji's report, Aragaki Shun immediately summoned Student Council Member and completely blocked off the roads leading to the changing room.

If Ayanokoji's information is correct, then Kanji Ike and his group should not have retrieved the remote-controlled car yet, and the recorded footage is still on the memory card, not taken back for safekeeping.

Upon learning this, Aragaki Shun and Manabu Horikita didn't hesitate and immediately sent Ichinose, Tachibana Akane, Asahina Nazuna, girls from three different grades, to the girls' changing room to find the remote-controlled car.

After anxiously waiting at the door for several minutes, Aragaki Shun watched as Miyabi Nagumo paced back and forth, muttering that she wanted to grind those idiots in Class D to dust.

Of course, Aragaki Shun understood this, and even the usually composed Student Council President, Manabu Horikita, did not remind him not to speak recklessly.

After all, this guy is a well-known playboy in the second year. He's always the one flirting with other girls. When did a bunch of good-for-nothings from Class D dare to secretly take pictures of his childhood sweetheart?

Even though he changed girlfriends every few days, Asahina Nazuna never agreed to date him.

For this second-year representative, Asahina was the only one who was special and absolutely not to be desecrated.

Convex(艹艹)!!!

I wouldn't even let Asahina suffer the slightest grievance, how dare you bunch of good-for-nothings do such a thing!

Tell me how you dared to do that!!!

Such an arrogant and despicable student will absolutely not be tolerated at our Advanced Nurturing!

This was a consensus among the three Student Council presidents. Even Horikita President, who never easily expelled anyone, had no intention of showing any leniency at this moment.

Just kidding, his most cherished sister was almost secretly filmed by a bunch of scumbags and brought back to the dorm to be used as magic material... If he could let that go so easily, he might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

As for Aragaki Shun... he has already asked the remaining Student Council Member to compile a list of all the girls who came to the Swimming today.

Even if a minor commits a crime, they'll only be expelled from school, and there's no concern about more severe punishment, right?

Hehe~ Then you'd better just wait and see!

While the group outside the door began plotting their revenge, the girls who had entered the women's changing room, after much effort, finally managed to pry open the metal grille of the ventilation vent and retrieve the remote-controlled car hidden inside.

Take the remote control car to the center of the brightly lit changing room, and you can see a faint red indicator light next to the screen on it.

Asahina Nazuna and Horikita Suzune both knew that this was the sign that filming was in progress.

At this moment, even the gentle Ichinose Honami couldn't help but blush.

Suppressing her anger, Tachibana Akane took out a mini memory card from the remote-controlled car, and the recording indicator light on it turned off at the same time.

"Phew~ Luckily the memory card hasn't been taken yet, otherwise it would have been terrible."

The memory card is still there, which means that the video of the girls changing clothes was only filmed, and was not taken back to the dormitory by the group from Class D to watch.

It was truly a close call; if Aragaki Shun hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"They must be severely punished; this school cannot tolerate such heinous criminals!"

Clenching her little fists, the Bun-haired Senior made a decision in a huff.

"Let's just euthanize them inhumanely!"

Horikita Suzune's face was frozen like a block of ice. If Yamauchi Haruki and the others were here now, the girl would definitely kick them and break their third leg.

"Ahem~ Horikita- kun, please calm down. There's no need to make a mistake for a group of people taking photos without permission. Let's hand them over to the Student Council. I'm sure Horikita President and Aragaki-kun will handle this fairly."

Seeing the black-haired girl who was almost out of her mind, Ichinose Honami quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

Those people in Class D certainly deserve punishment, but it's not worth getting yourself implicated because of it.

And there's no need for that.

This time, the three powerful figures in the Student Council were thoroughly disgusted. Do you think those people can expect a good ending?

Stop dreaming!

To be honest, Ichinose never imagined that there would be such an unreasonable student in the first year.

She once believed that the world was full of kindness, and that she was the only one who had made mistakes and needed to atone for them.

But now it seems that some people really don't deserve to be treated with kindness.

Thinking of this, she sincerely thanked Aragaki-kun for being reliable. If he hadn't discovered it in time, all the girls in the class, including herself, would have been seen naked.

If such a crime were allowed to occur, even if those people were punished accordingly later, the damage would be irreversible.

At that point, she wouldn't know what she would do.

Several girls checked the area near the ventilation vents together to make sure nothing was missing, then left the women's changing room with the remote-controlled car and memory card, and met up with the Student Council Member, including Aragaki Shun.

"President, these are the tools used by Kanji Ike and his accomplices. We found them in a ventilation shaft deep inside the women's changing room."

"When we found it, the red indicator light next to the screen on the remote-controlled car was still on, showing that it was recording video."

By this point, Tachibana Akane's face was filled with disgust and contempt.

"We don't know how much footage was recorded yet; we need to use a computer to retrieve and examine it to find out how many girls have become victims."

After saying that, Tachibana Akane handed the wireless remote-controlled car to Manabu Horikita and asked the three Student Council President to handle it, but she kept the mini memory card in her hand, clearly not intending to hand it over.

Of course, this is perfectly normal.

After all, there are images of many girls from three grades changing clothes on the screen, so it's impossible to give them to any man. Even if we need to verify the evidence, the female students and teachers have to use the computer to read them.

"Ichinose, Asahina, and Tachibana Akane- senpai," Aragaki Shun suddenly suggested, "Please have you and the female teachers from the three grades check the contents of this document. Once you've checked it, destroy it immediately."

This thing definitely cannot be kept; it must be destroyed in front of several influential people, otherwise no one will feel at ease.

"Oh, by the way, should we bring a few more student representatives along? We can choose from the girls who came to the Swimming today."

Before Ichinose and the others received their orders, Aragaki Shun seemed to remember something and turned his gaze to Manabu Horikita.

Then, as expected, the first to respond was not Horikita President, but Miyabi Nagumo, who breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the memory card had not yet been retrieved.

"Of course it's necessary! Those girls were also victims, so they naturally have the right to know about this, and they also have the right to supervise the Student Council in destroying this memory card."

Nagumo knew that Aragaki Shun's question was actually asking Manabu Horikita whether to make the matter public, and whether to deal with it severely or try to minimize its impact.

After all, Sakurajima University Advanced Nurturing a renowned top-tier educational institution, yet four perpetrators of upskirt photography have emerged in a single day... From the school's perspective, such a major scandal would definitely be something they would try to suppress, rather than letting it escalate.

Otherwise, if an Advanced Nurturing rival reports on it and uses it to damage the school's image, the losses will certainly be more than just the expulsion of a few students.

But if the school were to let the matter drop, no one would know what the higher-ups would actually do.

What if they choose to expel only one or two of the main perpetrators, while letting the other accomplices off lightly?

This isn't entirely impossible!

Ultimately, the impact of dropping out one or two students versus dropping out four or five students from the same class at once is not comparable.

"I feel it's necessary to make this public; we can't keep the victims in the dark."
