Kanda Shuuichi: That's Right, I Did It / You Made the Mistake, So Take Responsibility for It Yourself, You Bastard!

The evidence is that this place not only has entertainment facilities, but also many stalls set up in some open spaces, offering a wide variety of foods such as hot dogs, fried noodles, and takoyaki.

Ichinose's suggestion was immediately agreed upon by everyone present, and Shuichi Kanda also obtained the information he wanted.

A normal person would be curious or laugh when they see Shuichi Kanda wearing a woman's hair clip, but Ichinose is not; her eyes seem to be filled with panic.

What's causing Ichinose's unusual behavior is actually this hair clip? Does she have some special feeling about this hair clip?

Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro walked at the very back. Then, Shuichi Kanda took off the hair clip from his head and handed it to Kamuro.

"I never expected it to be this."

"Ichinose reacts to this hair clip? Why?" Kamuro also found it strange.

"Who knows? Maybe she used to have a hair clip like that, and then she lost it by accident, which is why she cares about it so much?"

Shuichi Kanda shrugged, feeling there was no need to pursue the matter further. Since the other party was unwilling to talk, Shuichi Kanda had no intention of asking any more questions.

And that's not what we need to focus on right now.

Just as Shuichi Kanda and the others were about to go to dinner, Hirata also received a call from Horikita and came to the pool, where he met up with Horikita and Ayanokoji.

"How's it going, Horikita- kun?"

Upon arriving, Hirata immediately inquired about Horikita's current situation.

"This is terrible. We still haven't found the person who took the memory card, and we haven't received any contact from them." Horikita rubbed her forehead with one hand; today's events were truly giving her a headache.

"So the first thing we need to do is find the other party, right?"

"Yes, that memory card absolutely cannot fall into the school's hands, otherwise, someone in Class D will definitely drop out, and the Class Points will probably be reset to zero."

Horikita nodded, clarifying the current situation.

Hirata's face also showed a helpless expression. Perhaps, the 20 million points they had just obtained hadn't even had time to warm up before they had to hand them over again.

Chapter 162 Shuichi Kanda: That's right, I did it.

Just as Shuichi Kanda others were having lunch, the school's loudspeaker suddenly came on.

[Lost and Found Notice: Horikita Suzune from Class 1-D lost a personal item on campus today. If anyone finds it, please look for Horikita Suzune at Pool 3. She will offer a reward.]

Upon hearing this strange broadcast, Shuichi Kanda's eyebrows twitched. Although he knew Horikita Suzune a bit reckless, he hadn't expected her to be this reckless.

After exchanging a glance with Kamuro, the two quickly finished their food. Kamuro then headed towards swimming pool number three to find Horikita Suzune, while Shuichi Kanda returned the screwdriver that Kamuro had been carrying all morning back into the pool's backpack.

Swimming pool number three.

Horikita Suzune and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji sat side by side on the shore, waiting for that person to arrive.

Did you make that thing?

Upon hearing the slightly familiar voice, Horikita Suzune and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji turned around simultaneously and saw Kamuro Masumi, draped in a bath towel, appearing three meters away from them.

Because it was lunchtime, there weren't many people around, so even if the three of them openly discussed these issues, no one would be able to hear them.

"What are you saying Kamuro?"

"Stop playing dumb. I'm talking about the remote control car. The person who posted those strange lost and found notices at school must be the one who discovered the memory card was missing from the remote control car."

With the code matching, Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji were now fairly certain that the person who had taken out the remote-controlled car and removed the memory card and camera before Horikita was Kamuro Masumi.

"Did Kanda- kun instruct you to do this?"

Ayanokoji glanced at Kamuro, who had asked the question, and answered readily.

I didn't tell Shuichi about this.

"Are you close to Kanda? I don't think you two have met much before," Horikita Suzune asked, voicing her doubts from the past day.

"Shui-ichi and I grew up together as childhood friends, but he doesn't remember me now."

"Don't remember?"

"This involves Shuichi's privacy, so I can't say more." Kamuro didn't intend to answer Horikita's further questions. "I'll ask again, did you make that remote-controlled car?"

"I'm sorry, but although I didn't do it, could you please return the memory card to us for Kanda's sake?"

Ayanokoji shook his head, indicating that it was not his work.

"It's okay if you don't return it; you can destroy it."

"Hmph, so your name is Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, right? You've got a good plan, haven't you? You should know why I didn't tell Shuichi about this, right?"

A mocking smile appeared on Kamuro's face.

"The remote-controlled car is located inside the ventilation opening under the first-grade changing room. This facility is equipped with a separate changing room for each grade."

So only first-year students could have done that. Considering your actions and the behavior of some students in Class D, it must have been done by students in Class D, right? Maybe it was those two idiots who came together today.

After all, the bags they brought today seemed unusually heavy.

Kamuro's analysis was quite logical and insightful.

This is actually quite normal. Once you know the result, analyzing the process and combining it with the clues you see today makes it easy to reach these conclusions.

Kamuro Masumi's words weighed heavily on Horikita Suzune's heart.

Is it possible for any random student from Class A to be this amazing?

They're so amazing, yet Class D still has a bunch of people dragging them down.

What's that saying again? It's not the god-like teammates you should fear, it's the pig-like teammates!

Your godlike opponent deliberately targets your incompetent teammates. By the time you finish your first completed item, they already have three items. How are you supposed to win that game?

What do you want?

This statement signified that Horikita Suzune had given in, and the rhythm of the battle had completely fallen into the hands of Kamuro Masumi.

"It's simple. Hand over the 20 million Private Points that Shuichi didn't take from Class D. Also, don't tell Shuichi about this, otherwise I'll hand over the evidence to the school even if I don't want the 20 million Private Points."

Horikita Suzune's face turned ugly. She had originally planned to tell Shuichi Kanda this and have him take back what Kamuro had. But the other party's words immediately shut down all her ideas.

Why should we believe you?

"You may not believe me, but you have no choice, do you?" Kamuro Masumi controlled the pace of the negotiation from beginning to end. "I'll give you half a day. Give me your answer before the park closes."

"Impossible! Those are the assets of all the students in Class D, not just mine, so this isn't something I can't decide."

Horikita refused Kamuro. At this point, Horikita just wanted to buy some time and then ask Hirata and Shuichi Kanda how to resolve the matter.

Although Kamuro strictly forbade telling Shuichi Kanda about this, he was fine as long as he didn't tell Shuichi Kanda who had obtained the evidence.

"Alright then, since school starts tomorrow anyway, you can discuss it yourselves within your class and give me the results before 5 PM. I don't mind waiting an extra day. Shuichi is still waiting for me, I'll be going now."

Watching Kamuro's departing figure, Horikita Suzune slumped her shoulders listlessly.

"What to do?"

"I'd like to ask Kanda's opinion first." Ayanokoji sat up from the poolside.

"Don't let this slip out."

Horikita Suzune looked at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and said seriously.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

When he returned to the locker room at noon, Shuichi Kanda put his phone back. Since it was a rare opportunity to play in the pool, he was also eager to get in the water and stretch his legs.

However, while they were having fun, Shuichi Kanda was still learning to swim.

Since his health improved, he has been trying to do some exercise. Although it is still very strenuous, he no longer collapses on the ground to show you the same thing as before.

An hour later, Shuichi Kanda climbed out of the pool.

Although Kamuro taught very well, Shuichi Kanda learned very slowly. It's understandable; how could you possibly concentrate when a sexy swimsuit-clad woman is standing in front of you, holding your hand and teaching you how to swim?

"I need to rest for a bit. Masumi, you can play by yourself for a while."

There was no way Ayanokoji; that bastard Ayanokouji had been staring at him for a long time, and he probably had a lot to say.

"Is there something you need? I've noticed you've been watching me here for quite some time."

Back on shore, Shuichi Kanda dried his hair with a towel, then picked up a drink from the table, took a sip, and lay down on a beach chair.

"You ordered Kamuro to do this, didn't you?"

"Huh? What are you saying?"

Ayanokoji's words left Shuichi Kanda looking confused.

"No need to pretend anymore. After you came out of the locker room this morning, you went to see Kamuro alone, and then Kamuro disappeared for a while," Ayanokoji said expressionlessly. "And the memory card in the remote-controlled car disappeared around that time. Besides, although Kamuro's acting skills are superb, there were still flaws."

Seeing that Shuichi Kanda didn't speak, Ayanokoji continued, "When Horikita said it was impossible to give her an answer, Kamuro was clearly stunned for a moment. Although he recovered quickly, this shows that Horikita's reaction at that time was completely unexpected, or rather, unexpected from your perspective."

"And you, Kanda- kun, you predicted Horikita's actions when you went on your summer vacation to Uninhabited Island, didn't you?"

After hearing Ayanokoji's analysis, Shuichi Kanda muttered, "Isn't that pretty good at analysis?"

"Does this mean you're admitting it?"

Ayanokoji stood next to Shuichi Kanda, staring blankly at the swimming pool in front of him.

"Ah, that's right. I instructed Masumi. What do you plan to do? Are you planning to report me to Horikita?" Shuichi Kanda said calmly. "I'm not joking when I have Masumi take it over."

"You mean, handing the evidence over to the school?"

"That's right. If Horikita wants to get that memory card back through me, I'll immediately have Masumi hand it over to President Horikita. I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be then."

If the school finds out, at least one of Ike and Yamauchi will be expelled, and if that happens, I'm afraid I won't be safe either.

After thinking for a moment, Ayanokoji looked at Shuichi Kanda.

Why do this?

"Because I feel I did something wrong."

Looking at Yamauchi and Ike playing carefree in the pool, Shuichi Kanda said calmly.

"Wrong?"

"That's right, I was wrong. I shouldn't have left a get-out-of-jail-free card for Class D, because I don't think all members of Class D deserve it. Don't you think so, Ayanokoji?"

"Or do you think that people like Ike or Yamauchi are qualified to use this get-out-of-jail-free card?"

Shuichi Kanda's words silenced Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, because he also felt that these two guys were not worthy of using this immunity ticket.

"So you gave this get-out-of-jail-free card to Class A?"

"Are you kidding me? I only gave this get-out-of-jail-free card to Masumi, not to Class A."

"I see, I understand now."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji shut his mouth. From the conversation just now, he already knew that at least he was safe.

The fact that Shuichi Kanda was willing to tell Ayanokoji that he was the mastermind meant that he wouldn't take action against Ayanokoji.

Therefore, after Kamuro received those 20 million points, he would no longer use this evidence to report Class D, and he would not be held accountable for any collateral damage.

Shuichi Kanda's only targets are those two idiots Yamauchi and Ike.

Or rather, once this incident is over, even if it is investigated again, it will not lead to any further repercussions, because Kiyotaka Ayanokoji really did nothing.

The props were prepared by the Professor, the plan was executed by Ike, and the cover was provided by Yamauchi. What does that have to do with me, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji?

As long as it is made clear in tomorrow's class meeting that Yamauchi and Ike are the masterminds behind this, then there will be no problem with the others.

What did Ayanokoji do wrong? He simply failed to stop Ike and Yamauchi. Anyway, Horikita testified for him, so he couldn't be punished.

Chapter 163 You should take responsibility for your own mistakes, you bastard!

As the pool was about to close, the roadside stalls had already been cleaned up, and Shuichi Kanda and the others prepared to leave according to instructions.

"Ike, and Yamauchi, you two stop right there!"

Horikita Suzune, who had already changed her clothes, stopped Yamauchi and Ike, who wanted to go back to retrieve the remote-controlled car, in the corridor in front of the changing room.
