Nakano Yu: Kushida, let's go down together later! Kushida: ? (Continued)

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Um, I, I... well, although I haven't said anything to Hasebe, I just feel, I just feel that Hasebe would agree."

Sakura Airi, who was called out, was startled, but she quickly adapted to the situation.

So you two haven't spoken yet.

It's okay, though. Now that they're living on the island, they'll inevitably form a small group. Hasebe, being a student in Class D, can't very well come looking for him Hirata, so he'll have to stick with the girls. But in Class D, Nakano Yuu invited a lone wolf like Horikita, a pure and innocent Kushida, and Gal Team like Karuizawa. No matter how you look at it, it's not a suitable Matoba for him to join. So, if Hasebe doesn't want to be isolated and left behind, he'll probably have no choice but to team up with Sakura.

That's exactly what Nakano-kun was thinking.

In the original story, the two were good friends, and Hasebe was even willing to take revenge for Sakura's expulsion from school. From this point of view, she is indeed a good person.

Although he ultimately failed, he is someone who values friendship.

This is a good friendship.

Sakura is still all alone, without a single friend.

So Nakano decided to lend a hand.

It's also for my own sake, I suppose.

Sakura has been stalking him lately, and if he keeps letting her follow him, his social circle will be exposed. So, he should find a good friend to keep her occupied for now.

Hearing Nakano Yuu's explanation, Sakura glanced at Hasebe with some surprise, then looked at Nakano Yu again.

She wasn't stupid; she probably understood what Nakano-kun meant.

It means that they hope she and Sakura can become friends.

Sakura Airi was familiar with Hasebe. Although they had never spoken, she had noticed her during PE class, especially swimming class.

Since they were both older and didn't want to wear swimsuits and be stared at by boys, they tacitly asked to skip PE class.

In other words, the two share the same troubles, and are somewhat like people bound by fate.

Although it seems like it was requested, it seems like becoming friends with Sakura wouldn't be a problem.

Hasebe readily accepted the proposal.

"As for you guys in Karuizawa..."

Nakano-kun said.

"It was Matsushita's suggestion. Matsushita and I were previously members of the same tutoring group."

Oh.

Matsushita.

So, Matsushita, are you helping everyone earn points?

Karuizawa, Sato, Shinohara are all looking over here.

"..."

Matsushita.

6.

Matsushita felt the intense gazes of his companions.

But Matsushita Chiaki immediately realized that Nakano-kun's words were probably 80% false.

Because in his tutoring group, she was basically left to her own devices, and now she's even saying that she recommended Karuizawa and the others to work together.

Even though they got on the ship, they didn't exchange a single word.

Furthermore, there was no way to contact her. Even when it came to notifications about the tutoring group, she was contacted directly through the class group chat and then asked to speak privately with him.

This gave Matsushita the feeling that even her friend didn't bother adding her as a friend.

However, it seems that Nakano Yuu didn't become friends with Sakura at the time, which was somewhat comforting for her.

After all, Nakano Yuu didn't even add Sakura had such a strong liking for him, as a friend, so it's not that she lacked charm and was being disliked.

But now, what?

She was not informed of this at all.

So, Nakano-kun, what are you thinking?

I wasn't thinking about anything.

As for Karuizawa, after Nakano paid with Nagumo Wallet, he secured her a position Public Morals Committee Member, thus solidifying Karuizawa's position.

Therefore, there's no need to increase her stakes for now.

However, the current Matoba allows him to cast a wider net and recruit some students with some ability who might be useful in future Special Exam.

Matsushita Chiaki is considered a strong player in Class D, so it's worthwhile for him to build a solid foundation first.

And also...

[There's a mole among your colleagues]

Kamuro delivered this message.

Nakano Yuu wouldn't casually allow a mole to actually be in his inner circle.

So.

Are you the mole, Matsushita?

Based on Nakano Yuu's understanding of Sakayanagi Arisu, she is a master of internal warfare, and she is capable of bribing people. She is definitely not someone who has no connection with you. Nakano Yuu has only had contact with a few students in Class D, and those few can be confirmed not to betray him.

So, the person who would choose to betray him is someone with whom he has a casual relationship, but with whom he has some connection.

So.

The members of his tutoring group last month would be good candidates, but the students in Class D are also a problem. You'll find that even if you bribe them, they might not follow your instructions. In that case, it's a wasted effort.

Therefore, as things stand, the person who best fits the criteria to be the mole is... Matsushita Chiaki.

He hides his strength, is intelligent and wise, and is also poor.

Therefore, Nakano Yuu suspects that Matsushita Chiaki has become a mole.

To confirm this, first try to shake the other person's resolve. This will make it easier for them to confess.

But.

Nakano Yuu still felt something was off.

That's what he saw: these four hot girls, who had been brought in to work, yet not one of them started arguing.

You know, if we brought a few hot girls from Class C over to work, they'd immediately throw a tantrum.

They'll definitely say things like, "How dare you prevent them from going back to the ship to enjoy themselves, and then make them suffer on the island, work, and ask if they're even human?"

But the hottest girl in my class was surprisingly gentle.

Just as Nakano Yuu knew, Karuizawa was a fake gyaru, while Matsushita Chiaki was someone who hid her strength. With her abilities, she wouldn't bother being a gyaru forever, so she was probably a fake gyaru now as well.

So.

Even Sato and Shinohara haven't started arguing yet.

Perhaps... she's in a good mood because being hired earns her more points?

"..."

What kind of hot girl would be so honest as to choose to work and earn a living?!

Time quickly passed to the next day.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

All the students came to the beach for roll call; all four class teachers were present.

Although Class D scored 0 points, they still came to the beach together.

The reason is simple.

"We have received a reply from the school."

"That's what Chabashira-sensei, the homeroom teacher of Class D, said," and the person he was talking to was a student.

"Your suggestion has been adopted; the school has approved your plan to resell the supplies at the base."

"But this action is only allowed once."

"That's what Chabashira-sensei said."

"Then here's the buyback price. Since it's outside the scope of the exam, it will be directly converted into cash for you, and this money will be given to you when you graduate."

In other words, the school does not want you to collect points in this way, so it completely excludes the opportunity for you to collect 20 million points in this manner.

"I think that's acceptable."

"Nakano Yuu said."

After all, it's money you can get for free just by talking, practically like finding money on the street. Even though the arrival of the money is delayed, it still achieves part of the goal, doesn't it?

The students who are suspected of being moles can be left on the island to work.

"Is it even possible to do this?"

The students in the surrounding classes looked completely bewildered.

The students in Class D are actually going to pack up and sell all the supplies at the base. They're making some extra money this way.

"So, what about our Class C..."

Meanwhile, the students in Class C were also itching to make a move.

"Don't think about it."

However, Ryuuen said.

"Our apples are only enough for ourselves. What more could you want if we have apples to eat?"

Ryuuen occupies two strongholds: a cave and an apple orchard.

There were no extra resource bonuses inside the cave.

There are about 200 edible apples in the apple orchard settlement.

Therefore, the stronghold occupied by Ryuuen and his group also has resources, but these resources need to be used to make up for the food shortage that Nakano Yuu Yu's Class D still had after exchanging supplies for him and Katsuragi.

Therefore, Ryuuen and the others could only save some money.

Meanwhile, Katsuragi and his classmates from Class A remained silent and composed. Originally, if they had purchased supplies from Class D, Class A could have passed the exam without spending a single basic point.

However, due to the stupidity of the students in Class D, 50 points were deducted, leaving them with only 250 base points to sell to them. As a result, Katsuragi and his group had fewer resources available, so they had to choose a base with food nearby, a base by the river, to save points for buying drinking water.

However, the outpost he chose, located by the river, had few fish and shrimp, only abundant water.

There's no other way to earn extra income.

But.

Besides the excellent benefits of being Class A graduate, it seems there's another avenue to gain from this school: making money.

At least Nakano Yuu has already made several million in front of him.

This made Katsuragi waver a little.

Because of his poor family background, his parents had passed away, and he and his younger sister depended on each other for survival. Although they had relatives who adopted them, he knew very well that he and his sister were always troubling them. So if he could earn some money at school... perhaps it would make his sister's life a little better.

Having received a reply from Chabashira-sensei, the students in Class D entered a state of intense harvesting.

On the first day of arriving on the island, we discussed resource allocation.

The second day, spent on the island, was dedicated to harvesting crops and acquiring the island's resources.

On the third day, they stayed on the island and continued harvesting crops to obtain resources from the island.

By the morning of the fourth day, most of the available resources had been packed up, and the school had arranged for a small boat to transport them.

The students from Class D, who had been hired, were also put on the ship by Nakano Yuu. He personally saw them off.

The Gal Team who were sent away also included Sakura and Hasebe, who had worked hard for the past three days.

"Then you should go back first."
