"Hey, boys!"
"Boys! Get up!"
"Come on, get up!"
The boys in the tents were woken by the voices outside. They gradually got up, some of them grumbling.
"What's going on? Why are you making so much noise?"
"What happened?"
Hirata unzipped his tent and came out, then asked the group of girls outside,
"What's wrong?"
"Hirata, we've got a serious problem."
"What could've happened this early in the morning?"
The boys came out of their tents one after another and gathered around Hirata, including Qiuyue and Ayanokoji.
"It probably has nothing to do with you, Hirata, but there's something we need to confirm no matter what."
"What is it?"
"Karuizawa's panties went missing this morning."
Shinohara's shocking words left Hirata and all the boys looking stunned.
"...Huh?"
"Karuizawa's crying in her tent right now. Kushida and the others are trying to comfort her."
Qiuyue looked a little surprised.
I told her about it beforehand, so it shouldn't be a problem, right? Though I did tell her to stir up trouble, I didn't expect her to fake-cry too. No... I guess it's just like the original story...
Inside the tent, Karuizawa dabbed at her tears. Kushida and Wang Meiyu comforted her from either side: Kushida gently patted her back, while Wang Meiyu handed her a tissue.
Ike looked shocked that Karuizawa's panties had been stolen, but he still objected,
"Hey, hold on! Why are you suspecting us?"
"Isn't it obvious? It must've been one of you boys! And that's not all. That pervert also stole the girls'... the things we use during our periods."
Qiuyue couldn't help thinking to himself,
All right, all right, round of applause. I know who did it, but even if I didn't, with students from other classes around, shouldn't you avoid suspecting your own classmates
