You Smell Like Kushida (Continued)

I just don't know if it's the left or right ankle sock.

Thinking this, Kushida, who has short blond hair, opened the door and appeared in front of Hachiman.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, there was a faint mist of water on her neck, and her slightly damp hair gave her a somewhat erotic look.

Only.

"Lend me your coat," Kushida said. "My hair isn't dry enough."

What a troublesome guy.

So Hachiman took off his coat.

Ten more minutes passed.

While waiting for Kushida to return to her angelic self, the two began to leave the cabin.

Only.

"You decide for yourself. If you still want to vent your emotions, then come back tomorrow afternoon."

"But."

Hachiman said, "Before you go back later, go to Ichinose and borrow 1 starting point from them so they can exchange it for 2 pairs of underwear."

"Karuizawa's underwear was stolen. Even though it was made by Ibuki, I'm still traumatized and can't use it anymore, even if I find it again."

"So you exchange two, give one to her, and keep one for yourself."

"You're so thoughtful." Kushida looked over in surprise.

Because.

Hachiman's perspective was indeed something no one else had considered... that is, the underwear incident was put on hold, but Karuizawa's spare underwear was stolen.

So the next step is to be in a state of not wearing underwear.

Hachiman's class had their initial 300 points completely squandered on the first day.

They exchanged for a large amount of supplies, but some of these supplies were useless, and items like underwear were not exchanged at all.

Rather, no one would have imagined... someone's underwear being stolen and then running out...

Only.

Kushida was a little confused as to why it had to be exchanged for two pairs of underwear, since Karuizawa had only lost one pair, so giving her another pair would have been enough.

Then we need to leave some here for her.

Wait a moment.

Could it be that he thought she came to the cabin to vent her emotions and needed to take a shower, but she wasn't prepared and was wearing dirty clothes today, so he thoughtfully considered that she needed to prepare a change of underwear for her to take a shower?

"..." Kushida.

Although I find Hachiman Hikigaya's insight disgusting, I can't deny that he's quite a gentleman.

In this way.

"The two students finally moved."

The homeroom teacher of Class D adjusted his glasses and looked away from the computer screen as he spoke.

The wristbands distributed to the students have a location tracking function and can be displayed on the map of the island.

This is to prevent accidents from happening to the students and to allow for timely rescue efforts.

At the same time.

It is also an observation of the students.

We can then examine their movements and conduct big data analysis on the students.

These are all materials that the school needs to obtain.

It's just a wristband and doesn't have the function of confirming identity, so it can only identify which class a student belongs to.

Then.

It was discovered that students from two Chabashira classes had gone to Outpost 25.

This outpost is a plus.

It makes people jealous.

But.

That's quite strange.

Because.

Although the two students arrived at Outpost 25, according to their wristbands, they stayed there for a full two and a half hours.

During those two and a half hours, there was no card swiping or any intention to move.

The fact that neither of them swiped their cards might mean that neither of them was the team leader.

However, no one was arranged to go back to the camp to report first, and then have their class leader come over to swipe their card.

This is quite strange.

The two students have now left the camp.

Then.

"Chabashira, these two students in your class wouldn't happen to be..." Sakagami said. "Have they been having a secret rendezvous at Base 25?"

"Sakagami, don't make assumptions about the students so casually." But Majima-sensei coughed, stopping Sakagami-sensei from speculating. "This is a strict exam time."

But he couldn't deny it.

Because.

Does a small cabin really need to be explored for so long? Or... is it really a place to spend time as a couple?

Then the next day.

The teachers on duty discovered that the two students from Class C had returned to Outpost 25.

But.

I waited for ages, but I didn't see them swipe their cards. Or bring a third person to swipe their cards.

Two and a half hours later, they left together again.

Then came the third day.

Two people came, and two people left.

And the stay was quite long.

The same development continues.

"..."

"..."

It can be confirmed that there is indeed a couple in this class.

Let's go back to the second day after we arrived on the island.

Hachiman and Kushida walked back up the iron stairs to the lawn, into an area that ordinary students might frequent.

Since he had already gone out to explore today, and Hachiman still had to accompany Kōenji to swipe his card and continue putting on a show for Ibuki.

So after Hachiman returned to the base, he immediately found Karuizawa.

I'm going to take care of her situation and then get some rest.

That's what I was thinking.

However, when Hachiman returned to the camp, he found that only Karuizawa was making a fire there.

Although she cried this morning, she seems to have recovered a lot now.

The red tracksuit jacket was zipped up.

"Where are the others?"

"Some people went fishing, and others went fruit picking."

"Some people have even gone on adventures."

Karuizawa squatted by the fire and poked the burning stick with a twig in response.

In other words, the students in Class C have moved on from the underwear incident that morning and have resumed enjoying their life on the island.

This class is a little carefree.

"As for Horikita, she's catching up on sleep."

"It seems they're worried something else might happen, and they're considering keeping watch," Karuizawa said.

That's really reliable, Horikita.

So Hachiman sat down next to Karuizawa.

But just as he sat down, he noticed that the nose of the cute girl with a single golden ponytail next to him twitched.

"Why do you smell like Kushida?" she said. "Did you go somewhere with Kushida?"

"...?"

Hachiman immediately turned around.

Because he came back alone.

But.

Soon, Hachiman realized that she seemed to be smelling the scent of his tracksuit jacket.

Forehead.

I lent my jacket to Kushida. So of course it carries her scent.

"Ahem." Hachiman quickly changed the subject. "I didn't have time to be alone with you this morning."

"But you don't need to worry about this underwear incident."

"I will handle it properly," Hachiman said.

"I sent Kushida to borrow some starting points from Ichinose and asked her to exchange them for two pairs of underwear."

"One of them is for you."

"And then there's another one that was prepared for her."

"To prevent some idiots from thinking about victim-blaming theories, I'm going to have Kushida's underwear stolen too," Hachiman said.

"If only your underwear were stolen, you might be gossiped about, or even criticized, with everyone thinking it was all your fault. But if Kushida shares the burden, it will ease the situation," Hachiman said. "Kushida is everyone's angel, and I think she would be happy to help."

However, at this moment, Kushida, who had asked Ichinose for help and then exchanged the underwear, returned and was about to talk to Hachiman and Karuizawa when she heard this, her expression instantly tightened.

Because.

She thought that Hachiman was thinking of her and was a gentleman.

Result.

This is outrageous!

Although it was an outrageous act for Kushida, Hachiman was also having a tough time.

In order to complete the plan, he had to continue playing Ibuki.

The next day, I accompanied Kōenji to visit the outpost.

On the third day, I also accompanied them to farm strongholds.

But on the morning of the fourth day.

"Hachiman Hikigaya."
