Kiriyama-senpai, You Want to Defect-Oh, Wait, Are You Trying to Become a Lackey?

This kind of thing is not easy to arrange, or rather, I didn't expect some people to be so shameless.

Therefore, progress in forming a team is very slow.

So, Horikita probably won't be able to cook tonight.

Therefore, Hachiman had no choice but to go to the Shopping Street.

However, as he was leaving the school building, Hachiman saw a newbie by the small blackboard.

The other person was a first-year student, a face I hadn't seen much before.

She had shoulder-length brown hair and delicate, well-proportioned features.

However, his clear pupils occasionally revealed a cunning glint.

"Who are you?" Hachiman asked the other person. "This isn't a place for first-year students, is it?"

"I am a student in First Year Class C." The other person was looking at the class evaluation scores on the small blackboard while kicking a small pebble.

She was probably taken aback by the unexpected approach.

But she quickly came to her senses.

"I'm waiting for Ichinose- senpai." The other person revealed a rather cute face. "I made a promise with Ichinose- senpai to have dinner together."

Is that so?

Hachiman sent a message to Ichinose.

I received Ichinose.

Recently, a first-year student asked her for help, saying she was being ostracized by her classmates.

My friend agreed to team up with her this time, but changed her mind halfway through.

But she didn't want to act alone.

In other words, this junior student hopes to get help from Ichinose to persuade the students in her class.

So this is a normal situation where a female student asks a female student for help.

Could the senior student help?

Hachiman was well aware of this. Ichinose was Archangel and had also formed an exchange group, so she received a lot of praise.

At the same time, their social circle has expanded to include first-year students.

Then you will also be relied upon by others.

Ichinose's character, he will definitely help.

But.

She had only been enrolled for a month when she was already being ostracized.

This junior is pretty awesome.

Hachiman used the OAA System to find the other party's information.

First Year Class C, whose name is Iroha Isshiki.

In this way.

With the final team formation time fast approaching, most students were busy preparing.

Then, we waited quietly for the 6th, when we would officially take a bus to the luxury cruise ship to land on the Uninhabited Island for the exam.

But.

On the evening of the 5th.

Hachiman invited Kushida to Suzune Horikita's room.

Because today is Friday, according to his agreement with Kushida, his time every Saturday morning belongs to her.

But now I have to take an exam.

So we can only borrow Horikita's room for now.

However, there's no need to kick Horikita out, because we called Kushida over today to see if she's completed her task.

Horikita also knew Kushida's true colors.

"Nanase is a bit tricky," Kushida said, sitting on Horikita's bed. "It took me several attempts to finally win her over."

"Then, last night it finally worked."

"I now know about her past."

"It's actually quite sad."

"Hirata previously revealed was that his friend had attempted suicide."

"And then Hirata's personality changed drastically as a result."

"As for Nanase, what she saw was the Matoba her childhood friend committing suicide. Her childhood friend, Matsuoka Eiichiro, was a very outstanding person, very positive, optimistic and upbeat."

"And Matsuo's father worked as a butler in a powerful family."

"However, Matsuo's father made a mistake, which was to help a teenager."

"That boy is locked up."

"Then Matsuo's father helped the boy escape."

"This infuriated and enraged the powerful and influential."

"Then he directly lashed out at Matsuo and his son."

"Because the powerful and influential people were very prestigious and famous in the education field, they directly expelled Matsuo from school, and then no school dared to accept him."

"Matsuo's father wanted his son to avoid being implicated, so he apologized to powerful people."

"Unable to gain forgiveness, he chose to atone with his death by self-immolation."

"Matsuo finally found a school willing to accept him, but he couldn't accept that his father was using this method to change his future, so he committed suicide."

"Then, Nanase's entry into this school this time was actually because she learned that one of the reasons that led to her childhood friend's suicide was that the person who was helped by Matsuo's father was in Advanced Nurturing High School."

"So she actually came for revenge," Kushida concluded.

"Then do you know who the person Matsuo's father helped was?" Hachiman asked.

"I don't know." Kushida shook his head. "Although I'm trying to continue digging into Nanase's heart, unfortunately, her emotions are unstable as we continue to dig deeper. If we don't stop for now, I feel like her mental state will collapse."

"But," Kushida added, "I think Nanase will definitely do something."

"And then came the Uninhabited Island Exam."

Is that so?

Hachiman recalled for a moment.

So that's what Nanase last month.

[Senior, what is your view on violence? Are you a proponent or an opponent?]

At that time.

Hachiman didn't think she was asking him a question; it was more like she was asking Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Nanase, also stated that she was a proponent of violence.

However, after the incident involving Hōsen and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, he learned from Hirata that Nanase had not participated in Hōsen's violence throughout the entire incident.

They even said a few words in support.

Then people will think this junior is pretty good.

But looking at it now...

Nanase's violence is reserved, not absent.

So.

It Nanase is planning to resort to violence during the Uninhabited Island Exam.

These are truly turbulent times.

Hachiman then took out his phone and sent a message to the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro.

[Have you prepared enough points for this exam?]

Tsukishiro probably wasn't looking at her phone, as she didn't reply for ten minutes.

[The first-year students are ready for VIP Exam similar to last year's.] by Tsukishiro.

Although some of the answers were irrelevant.

However, since the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, has the leeway to allocate points to arrange exams for first-year students that are similar to those for VIP.

This means that the expenses for this Uninhabited Island Exam have been well considered.

Despite the turbulent times, things remain stable for Tsukishiro.

In this way.

The school-wide, mandatory Uninhabited Island Exam, open to all students, has begun!

P. S.: Today's update is here, rua!

Chapter 24 Senior Kiriyama, you want to surrender, oh no, you want to become a dog?

The azure, clear sea, the enormous and luxurious cruise ship, and the occasional sound of its horn.

Blue sky and white clouds, sea breeze on your face.

The exterior of this Luxury Cruise Ship owned by the Sakayanagi family is, of course, beyond question.

The ship is fully equipped, just like a small but complex society.

From comfortable guest rooms to upscale restaurants, to an elegant and expansive opera house, and a full range of entertainment facilities.

Massage spas, swimming and fitness facilities—it has everything.

There was even a shopping mall built on the ship.

And everything is free!

Of course, this is something that older students have already experienced once or twice, so they won't be so surprised.

But for first-year students...

"Whoosh! The ocean! It's the real ocean!"

On the deck of the cruise ship, first-year students could be seen gripping the railings, looking at the boundless blue sea, and shouting excitedly.

This wasn't just one student's performance; it was a group of first-grade students all looking excited.

After all, although Japan is an island nation, many people have seen the sea.

However, for many people, actually going to sea is a first.

"Wow! This cruise ship is amazing, so touching!"

The girls' faces were also slightly flushed, and they formed teams with their friends in twos and threes.

However, their interest is mostly focused on the cruise ship itself, unlike the boys who yearn for the stars and the sea.

More than anything, they wanted to explore this huge Luxury Cruise Ship thoroughly.

"Even within the entire country, this cruise ship is definitely among the top-of-the-line!"

As a first-year student, Yukino commented.

However, it wasn't that she wanted to come; rather, she was pushed out by her Amasawa.

Yukino originally intended to read a book in her room.
