Sakayanagi, Practically Giving Herself Away! (Continued)

Totsuka Yahiko immediately said that because the news of him being the team leader during the Island Exam was exposed, the class lost its base points and was also penalized 50 points.

Although Katsuragi didn't blame him, many students felt it was all his fault; he was too conspicuous when farming for bases, which led to Class C finding out.

However, he did not hide the fact that he was the team leader from the students in the class.

At the time, Katsuragi also said, "The students in the class are, after all, the students in the class. We are one, even if we are on different sides. I think we will spontaneously protect the interests of the class."

"And if someone is truly short-sighted, it's better to see it now than to suffer greater losses later."

And as it turns out, there were indeed short-sighted people in the class.

So that person was you? Hashimoto Masayoshi!

"Tell me, how did you manage to fool me?"

Ryuuen said.

"The information you gave me is false. The VIP in the Monkey Group is not Shijo Ni."

Actually, by this point, Ryuuen had already figured something out. To confirm the information, he had taken an extra precaution, spending an additional 1 million points to have Koenji finish the exam early. And Koenji's answer at the time was also Shijo Ni.

However, Koenji is not here now, and he has also realized that ending the exam early does not necessarily mean that the result is correct!

Therefore, the answer given by Koenji might also be incorrect!

Damn it, Koenji! What a bunch of liars!

Ryuuen basically understood what had happened.

Hashimoto deliberately gave false information, then identified the intelligence group as the Monkey Group. Upon closer inspection, he realized he knew someone in the Monkey Group: the monster from Class D, Koenji.

Then we can let Koenji test it.

It's a series of interconnected events.

Grass, grass, grass.

But.

He couldn't understand.

I clearly have Shijo Ni's phone, and the Student ID Card on the phone matches the phone itself. The emails from the school are also genuine, not photoshopped or anything. So why isn't Shijo Ni VIP?

"Ryuuen seems to be in a very bad state."

Meanwhile, at the bar on this side of the deck, Kushida continued to drink his beverage.

But her gaze also fell on Ryuuen was causing trouble for Hashimoto not far away. After all, there was some excitement there, and many classmates were looking over.

"He's mentally broken right now, so he can't accept this result right now."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Because Ryuuen was left behind, it's worse than taking the exam with a negative attitude."

"However, why did Ryuuen receive a fake message? You see, he confirmed the other party's phone number; Student ID Card can't be faked, and the VIP information can't be faked either. Then, it was sent at exactly 8 o'clock, and Ryuuen also knew the VIP's email information, so he couldn't fool him with a fake message."

Sitting next to Nakano Yuu, Kushida was talking non-stop.

He looked like he was eager to learn.

And indeed, she had bright, inquisitive eyes, an expression that made her hard to resist.

Only.

"Is it you who wants to ask, or is it the Amasawa junior inside your body who wants to ask?"

"And who's here now, Kushida -kun or Amasawa -senpai?"

However, Nakano Yuu asked the same question twice in a row.

"..."

Kushida.

Kushida's emotions seemed to tense up for a moment.

"What are you saying? In a place like this, even if you're speaking softly, you shouldn't say such things."

"Um."

Nakano Yuu, however, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems you've been in control all along. You haven't been possessed."

Kushida blinked gently, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Are you... worried about me?

Kushida inquired.

"After all, you're rather slow-witted. If it's just an extra personality, then at most it's still you, another version of you. But if it's possession, then there's a chance of being taken over, and since you're so slow-witted, it's very likely you'll be taken over."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"..."

Kushida.

Kushida thought this guy was going a bit too far, calling her stupid twice in a row.

But.

"So, should I tell this guy that you've possessed me, and that you can know what's happening to me, or even experience my feelings?"

Meanwhile, Kushida wondered to himself.

No need.

Amasawa, the junior, quickly stopped the clumsy senior, saying, "[I don't want to have any more involvement with Nakano-senpai. Besides, I'm already starting to regret it.]"

"Regret what?"

Kushida was somewhat puzzled.

Of course, he regrets possessing Kushida -senpai's body, and Kushida- senpai is such an idiot, she's almost becoming this guy's hot weapon.

She felt the same way; Kushida came into contact with something, studied a little more, became more familiar with it, or even became more sensitive to it, or had something invaded or taken away from her, she would have the same experience.

This inadvertently gave her the feeling of becoming a weapon of mass destruction.

It could be said that although she hadn't personally met this senior, Nakano, she felt like she had been thoroughly misunderstood, just like Kushida- senpai.

Judging from Kushida -senpai's behavior, she'll probably succumb soon, since her bottom line keeps getting lower and lower.

So she also felt a little regretful, fearing that she might also fall for it.

She considered herself a genius, but was dragged into a vortex by a fool; her feelings were complicated.

"So, how did Ryuuen get scammed?"

Kushida then asked a question.

"Then come a little closer to me."

"Nakano Yuu said."

So, getting closer to him would give her the answer? Kushida hesitated slightly, and seeing that no one was looking in their direction, she moved towards Nakano Yuu. The two sat together, less than 10 centimeters apart—no, 5 centimeters.

Because Nakano Yuu suddenly reached out his left hand and hugged her, and then raised his right hand high.

Click.

They took intimate photos of the two of them.

"Are you going to die?!"

Kushida was instantly shocked.

"What's so surprising about that?"

However, Nakano Yuu said.

"Your private photos are clearly more revealing and intimate with me than this."

"Don't talk about that kind of thing."

However, Kushida strongly resisted. After all, she was now the ordinary, cute little angel Kushida, rejecting anything related to romance or couples.

"OK."

After the photo was taken, Nakano let go of his hand and even created some distance between them, appearing quite well-behaved.

Kushida didn't understand what he was doing.

"The girl I used to like might be checking my phone recently."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"And she definitely thinks there's a woman around me."

"So let's keep one photo in the album first."

"Nakano Yuu said."

Oh.

Oh, I see.

No.

So, who was the girl you liked before? And why did you put her picture in your album? Were you trying to make her jealous?

Kushida was filled with curiosity. She knew it was an occupational hazard of hers—a liking to pry into other people's secrets—and Nakano Yuu's past... perhaps it would be better to know.

After all.

Damn it, their relationship is so intimate, yet she knows absolutely nothing about him. But in front of him, she's like a blank sheet of paper, everything about her is laid bare.

Nakano, however, didn't bully Kushida and started answering the questions.

"The reason why Ryuuen was scammed is actually not difficult to understand."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Because the information on the phone is indeed real; it came from the school."

"There was no photoshopping or faking."

"But the information on the Student ID Card is fake."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Did you spend points to change the information on the Student ID Card?"

Kushida quickly replied.

In other words, she began to understand the school's rules, realizing that strength and points were paramount, and that with enough points, she could buy whatever she wanted.

For example, Nakano paid 100,000 points to trick Chabashira-sensei into coming over.

But this is a lie, and it's not honorable, so it's best not to tell Kushida.

"While what you said isn't impossible, there's an easier way."

So, Nakano Yuu was continuing to try to explain, shook his head.

"That means the SIM card has been changed."

"Our school's cell phones are unique; they're specially designed so that each phone's ID is the same as the phone number we use to contact each other. In other words, each phone number is unique, and the SIM card is only linked to the Student ID Card information."

"So when you change your SIM card, the information on your Student ID Card will change, but the phone number itself will remain the same. And all the information sent by the school will be sent directly to your phone."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"So, Hashimoto probably got a real VIP's phone and then inserted Shijo Ni card."

"However, there's a drawback to this: if you call Shijo Ni's phone number, the phone Hashimoto got won't respond."

"Ryuuen doesn't have your information gathering and communication skills, so he couldn't tell if the phone belonged to Shijo Ni. That's why he was fooled."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"This was a plan that Class B had prepared long ago, a strategy aimed at Class C."

Oh.

So, is this a compliment?
