The students from Class D who were present suddenly heard the sound of points being credited to their account on Nakano's phone. Moreover, the transfer was made by an older student from Class C.

The students in Class D have been living a very tough life for the past month, eating only mountain vegetables. It was only after arriving on the ship that they felt like human again.

But, Nakano-kun, aren't you being a bit inhuman right now?

2.4 million! Even if you divide that equally among all the students in the class, each person would get 60,000 points!

Then finally, the students from Class B arrived.

All they could hear was news that the students in Class C had gotten their hands on cameras and binoculars first and could see the distant island.

And they even bought it outright.

Therefore, this exam is a major boon for Class C.

"This is truly eye-opening!"

Among the students in Class D, two did not show the same surprised and shocked expressions as the other students.

One is Horikita Suzune, who has finally arrived, and the other is Kouenji Rokusuke.

Horikita felt that Nakano Yuu had started, finally started. He was starting to make money. So she gripped her right wrist with her left hand, trying not to show her emotions.

Meanwhile, Kouenji Rokusuke was keeping an eye on the points that Nakano Yuu had earned, which were credited to his account in two installments, totaling 2.4 million.

Yesterday, Nakano Yuu told him that his reward of 2 million points would take time to accumulate. So, is that how he got that 2 million?

However, the intelligence he took last night, which he specifically swam to the island to photograph, about the various outposts on the island, has not yet been put out for sale.

In other words...

The payment that Nakano Yuu was supposed to make to him has now been settled by renting the camera and binoculars in advance. So, how many points will Nakano Yuu get for the information he obtained?

It's at least much, much more than the 2 million he wanted.

It's truly remarkable.

For the first time, Koenji, who always considered himself a genius and never compared himself to ordinary people, experienced that he might just be an ordinary person after all.

P. S.: 13,000 words today, and the remaining 7,500 words of the bounty have been cleared.

Starting tomorrow, I will begin repaying the word count owed for the old book [Oregairu's Classroom of the Elite], which is 242,500 words.

So I estimate I'll be updating with 10,000 words every day from this month to next.

P. S. 2: Also, the sound of the main character's phone receiving payment is intentional this time, not some stupid act.

Chapter 68 This good fortune for you, do you want it?

As expected.

When most of the students arrived, Nakano Yuu was surrounded by his classmates.

The reason is quite straightforward: his phone hadn't turned off notifications for incoming transfers, so the sounds of Ryuuen and Katsuragi making transfers were heard by other students.

The students from Class C and Class A nearby understood, as did the students from Class B who had already arrived.

However, only Class D couldn't understand it.

Because.

[Nakano's account balance is 2,401,000 points.]

What does this mean?

This is a total of 60,000, which is divided equally among everyone in the class.

"..."

Horikita.

Horikita Suzune was among the Class D students nearby. Horikita- san still remembered this scene.

That was just the second month after we enrolled. Then, Chabashira-sensei informed everyone about the true nature of the school and announced that Class D' s evaluation score had been reduced to 0.

Then the students in the class realized they were out of money and started borrowing money from each other.

At that time, Nakano Yuu's phone received a notification of a deposit of 10,000 yen.

Nakano Yuu claimed that Horikita lent him the money, so he was also looking for someone to borrow money from. However, Horikita knew that this was just a smokescreen; she was penniless at the time and couldn't possibly come up with 10,000 points. So, it's possible that Nakano Yuu simply forgot to turn off the account notification and made it up.

So why are we turning on the payment notification again now?

You should know that flaunting your wealth to your classmates is not a good thing. When Nakano Yuu himself only had a few hundred thousand points, he deliberately ate a free mountain vegetable set meal to pretend to be poor in order to avoid being asked for money by his classmates.

And.

Horikita also knew that Nakano Yuu's points were not the 2.401 million they had just accumulated.

He already had over six million, and although he spent some, he still had a balance starting with 6, instead of the 1000 points he had just deposited into Katsuragi and Ryuuen.

In other words...

He did it on purpose. But why?

Suzune was puzzled, but she had already learned to think about his intentions.

"It's already at 2.4 million?"

There was another girl in Class D's group, everyone's little angel Kushida Kikyou. After arriving at the ship, Kushida usually went out to play with her friends, but in reality, she subconsciously avoided Nakano Yuu.

However, unlike before, when she avoided the pregnancy because she knew she would be expelled from school, she didn't want this good fortune.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can at least avoid them.

Therefore, she wanted to avoid all contact with Nakano Yuu.

But that idea was shattered last month. All her secrets were known to the other party, including the extraordinary fact that she was possessed by the genius junior Amasawa Ichika.

Then she still owes him 5 intimate encounters out of 10 intimate encounters.

This could also be interpreted as meaning that she and he had already had five intimate encounters.

It's fair to say that Kushida knew the situation was beyond saving.

So.

Kushida only hopes that her ill-fated relationship with the other party can be salvaged by Nakano Yuu dating Horikita Suzune. Then she can use Horikita's "obsession" and "sense of justice" to escape from Nakano Yuu's side.

So once they were on the ship, she deliberately created opportunities for Horikita and Nakano Yuu.

She, Horikita, Sakura were assigned to the same dormitory, and she kept providing Horikita with the location of Nakano Yuu, urging him to go find him.

But.

Three days have passed.

These two are still not dating. Horikita is really useless, but then Horikita, he's just a blockhead, so it's not incomprehensible.

Although the plan failed somewhat, Kushida even tried her best to get the boy she was close to to be with the girl she hated the most, it doesn't mean that Kushida didn't care about Nakano at all.

She was still very interested in his 6 million points.

But now, it's not just 6 million, it's going to be 8 million! And it's all being transferred to him by representatives from Class C!

Day.

So, this guy makes money so easily, and he's really that good at it?

Clearly, she only received 500,000 points... no, in 5 out of 10 times, he couldn't even spare 200,000 points for her, but he ended up with 2.4 million points for himself!

Then he asked her to help him with an exam, but she hasn't received any notification yet. At most, last night he asked her to introduce him to any student in Class B, regardless of gender. In Kushida's opinion, this doesn't really count as a task or helping with an exam. So, doesn't that mean he's already gotten money before he even needs her help with the Matoba?

It's still 2.4 million! But the reward for making her obey is only 600,000!

Clearly, Kushida is currently in a bad mood.

[Sometimes I think it's not such a bad thing that Kushida -senpai is just accepting her fate like this.]

[After all, look at Nakano-senpai, he's making a lot of money, isn't he? And his family owns a hospital; you know, being a doctor is a prestigious profession.]

[So, if you compromise a little, life both on and off campus might be much easier.]

"No way!"

"Would you like this good luck?"

Kushida, however, was extremely dissatisfied.

[I'd rather not have this one. I've always lived in the White Room, so I somewhat admire the lives of ordinary girls outside. But Kushida -senpai's life clearly doesn't fit the typical scope of a girl's.]

Amasawa Ichika said.

"..."

Kushida.

Right?

That's why she has such a miserable life.

Kushida's mood had been less than pleasant since the very beginning of the morning.

"Nakano-kun."

Hirata Donan also appeared at this time. At first, he wondered if there was some conflict between the students of Class D and students from other classes, but now he also heard the news that Nakano had received 2.4 million yen.

However, he wasn't that wicked; he didn't intend to turn Nakano's points into everyone's points or get him to lend money to everyone.

"Your points..."

Hirata said.

Since what Nakano Yuu said in class had worked, the school would recoup students' points in cash at graduation according to a certain ratio, so points = money.

Therefore, providing assistance now means providing cash.

This is clearly unreasonable.

Although Hirata wanted the class to be united and didn't want to see his classmates living in poverty, he wasn't selfish enough to ask others to hand over their money.

However, he was very interested in the method by Nakano Yuu obtained points.

"Oh, that's quite a coincidence."

Nakano Yuu casually brushed it off.

"I bought a camera before, and then I learned photography skills. Since the school pays for all the expenses on the ship, I thought about whether I could form a team to take photos for everyone."

"Because a phone's camera resolution is definitely not as good as a camera's, and professional photography will bring greater satisfaction."

"So I thought I could either open a photography training class, charge a few points as a token fee, and then take the training class to take photos for students in other classes."

"I think some students from other classes would agree to a fee of 200-300 points per photo."

"Even though taking photos doesn't bring in much money, the equipment on the ship is much more advanced than what we students usually have access to, so we thought we'd rent it all and then use it as a classroom."

Nakano-kun said.

"As a result, things backfired. The students in Class C all wanted cameras or binoculars to look at the island in front of them. They thought the island was related to the exam and wanted to get information in advance, so they were willing to rent it from me at a high price. That's why I received these points."

I see.

Hirata nodded.

Nakano Yuu's statement was quite insightful.

And the fact that they came up with this way of earning points is truly novel.

Hirata quite liked this classmate who had a strong sense of justice.

This initiative to collect free supplies from other classes at low prices, organized by class, was also proposed by this student, Nakano.

And this is mentioned.

Hirata suddenly remembered the upcoming exam. If they really had to take the exam and go to the island for more than just one day, wouldn't their plan to buy back supplies at a low price with Class A be in jeopardy?

Because if passengers disembark, the daily complimentary supplies for room service will not be replenished.

Since the students didn't use the guest rooms, they naturally didn't need room service.

Therefore, the plan to provide free supplies to Class A will run into problems.

However, the agreement signed with Class A only granted them free supplies for a total of 13 rooms in Class A, and the final transaction price was only 6,000 points × 13 = 78,000 points.
