Osamu Dazai

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and the others found a girl sitting under a tree.

She is not from Class D.

She noticed the existence of Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and the others, so she glanced at them, and then looked away as if she was not interested.

Although the students in other classes could just leave it alone, but Kiyotaka Ayanokōji and the others immediately knew that the girl's appearance was not trivial.

The girl had red and swollen marks on her cheeks.It was obvious at a glance that someone had beaten him, and it was quite forceful.

When Haruki Yamauchi was about to run towards the girl, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji involuntarily grabbed his shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Yamauchi Haruki asked suspiciously.

"No... sorry, it's nothing." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said.

"What I was going to say just now is superfluous." Kiyotaka Ayanokōji restrained himself at the last moment.

Without Ayanokōji Kiyotaka's obstruction, Yamauchi Haru immediately came to the girl's side, trying to hold her shoulder, but was bounced off by the girl.

Haruki Yamauchi just touched the back of his hand, smiled awkwardly, but recovered immediately.

"What's the matter? Are you okay?" Haruki Yamauchi asked.

"...Leave me alone, it's nothing." The girl said with a resentful expression.

"Nothing?... It doesn't look like that at all. Who beat you? Do you want to help you find a teacher?" Haruki Yamauchi said, looking at the girl's red and swollen face.

Judging from the state of swelling, it was easy to see that it was accompanied by considerable pain.

"It's just a dispute in the class. Don't worry about it." The girl smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and said these words to reject Yamauchi's proposal.

Her tone has the feeling of a woman, but she is obviously very listless.Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was also a little concerned about the dispute.

"...What should we do? We have no choice but to leave her alone." Haruki Yamauchi said anxiously.

It is incomparable with the school land, it is a 360-degree jungle surrounded by forests.

In another hour or two the sunset will begin.

In that case, the girl might even be in danger.

Chapter 25 Traces (recommended tickets for collection)

"We are students in Class D. If you can, you can come to our base camp."

Haruki Yamauchi simply asked Kiyotaka Ayanokōji and Airi Sakura for their consent, so they followed Haruki Yamauchi's words and nodded slightly in agreement.

"What? What are you talking about? How is this possible?" The girl seemed surprised.

"I don't know whether it should be said that we should help each other when we are in trouble, or should it be taken for granted, right?" Haruki Yamauchi raised a thumb and said with big white teeth.

The girl didn't seem to intend to listen to such words, and turned her head away into silence.

It would undoubtedly be easier to leave her alone, but if there were no unavoidable difficulties, girls would not stay in this kind of place alone.

"I am a student of Class C. In other words, I am your enemy. You know this, right?" the girl said suddenly.

This should mean that he had no reason to get help from Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and the others.

"But...you can't be left alone in this kind of place, can you?" Haruki Yamauchi turned his head in a panic, looking at Ayanokōji and Kiyotaka, trying to persuade the girl by fighting for their consent. .

Both Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and Sakura Airi nodded in agreement.

Even so, the girl didn't seem to intend to get up.

From the perspective of the school, Class D and Class C are both students of the same school, and generally speaking, helping each other is a matter of course.

But whether this is true in the case of special exams is another question--if judged by the stakes.

"We won't leave the girl and go back. We will stay here until you leave," Haruki Yamauchi said.

Haruki Yamauchi made up his mind to stay here forever.

Then Ayanokōji and Kiyotaka had no choice but to cooperate and stand by.

However, the girl seemed to regard Kiyotaka Ayanokouji and the others' judgments as a momentary confusion.

The girl seemed to estimate that the three people standing in front of her would leave immediately, and ignored them.

She didn't even look at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and the others.

Although it is boring to just wait all the time, from Haruki Yamauchi's point of view, this may be something he could only wish for.

Because this also means——the time he can spend with Sakura Airi will continue until the girl gives up.

Then, Haruki Yamauchi also frequently asked questions to Sakura Airi and the girls in Class C, spending a valuable time.

After about 10 minutes, the girl seemed to give in, stood up helplessly and said.

"...You guys are really stupid. You're such an exaggerated good-natured person. This kind of thing is unimaginable in our class."

"We just can't leave the girl in distress alone." Haruki Yamauchi said with a cool thumbs up.

"But is this okay? It doesn't matter if you tell me the location of your camp? You even have to lead me the way." The girl asked with some doubts.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with this?" Haruki Yamauchi seemed not to understand what the girl meant.

"Unbelievable idiots actually exist. I can't believe it." Without hesitation, the girl said words that she wouldn't say even if she wanted to.

Haruki Yamauchi was also stunned.

As long as you know the location of the camp, you can find out how the other class plans to pass the exam, or find out the direction and countermeasures of the other class. …

As far as Class D is concerned, the existence of the stronghold will be known to outsiders.

If there is a hidden worry factor, it is this part, but after Ayanokōji Kiyotaka sat upright, he replied, "It's okay, I don't think there is any problem with it."

"Really? Since there is no problem, then... I am Haruki Yamauchi, please give me your advice!" Haruki Yamauchi gave Ayanokōji Kiyotaka a look of admiration.

Although the girl was dumbfounded, she accepted Haruki Yamauchi's self-introduction.

Without even looking at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and the others, she simply replied, "My name is... Ibuki."

The girl said that her name was Ibuki in an easy-to-understand voice, and she seemed to be stroking her red and swollen cheek because the wound was painful.

When she introduced herself, she refused to meet Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and the others.

She shouldn't be good at looking people in the eye.

Compared to this, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was more concerned about—although the amount was small, there was dirt stuck between Ibuki's fingernails.

The place where Ibuki was sitting just now can also see the traces of the soil being excavated.

This is also the reason why Ayanokōji Kiyotaka agreed to this girl named Ibuki to come to the territory of Class D.

After Yibuki reaches the territory of Class D, he can find Osamu Dazai to check what is contained in this location and whether it will bring changes to the plan.

"Hmm, girls these days quarrel with each other by slapping each other...?" Haruki Yamauchi looked at Ibuki's red and swollen face and said in surprise.

"Leave me alone, this matter has nothing to do with other classes, right?" A look of disgust flashed in Ibuki's eyes.

Even if she said that, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka and the others couldn't just ignore her as if she was in pain.

Ibuki seemed to be enduring the pain, his expression would be stained with pain from time to time, and he would touch his cheek.

Haruki Yamauchi saw Ibuki re-carrying the backpack on his shoulders as if he felt it was getting in the way, as if suddenly thinking of something, his eyes lit up.

"Well, at least let me carry the backpack for you, okay? Okay?" Haruki Yamauchi said generously.

In front of Sakura Ai, Haruki Yamauchi seemed to want to show his manly side no matter what.

After he stuffed the branch to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he stretched out his hand to the backpack.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka: "..."

It's really a gentleman.

Haruki Yamauchi was about to pull down the backpack when he was interrupted by Ikiki.

"...No. Hey, I said no, stop it."

It feels good to hand over the backpack to Yamauchi, but Ibuki doesn't seem to trust Haruki Yamauchi, or doesn't want to rely on it, so he strongly refuses.

The rucksack hit the tree with the force of the rebound when he let go of his hand——accompanied by the dull sound of "dong".

There was an awkward atmosphere all around.

Haruki Yamauchi hurriedly apologized: "Hold, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm, I'm sorry."

"I know, but I still don't believe you. Do you understand?" Ibuki said.

After going through this incident, Ibuki fell silent as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Haruki Yamauchi also gave up and walked out.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka: "..."

"If you don't have a backpack, why don't you help me get the branches..." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka thought while holding a large number of thorny branches.

Sakura Airi glanced at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka worriedly, and said, "Ayanokouji-san, would you like me to get some branches for you?"

It seems that Haruki Yamauchi's set of operations not only failed to gain Sakura Airi's favorability, but instead made her feel a little alienated from him.

Seeing that Sakura Airi was also holding a lot of branches, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji shook his head, "No need, these are not very heavy."

Sakura Airi lowered her head, as if feeling a little guilty for not being able to help Kiyotaka Ayanokōji.

Chapter 26 Ryuuen Shoko 1 (recommendation ticket for collection)

Ibuki Mio walked behind Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's team, protecting the backpack with one hand, and clenched his fist with the other hand, as if he was angry about something.

"Damn Ryuuen Sho, I will make you look good one day!" Ibuki Mio said angrily in her heart.

Her name is Ibuki Mio, she is one of the members of Class C, and she has been dissatisfied with Ryuuen Sho's rule since the beginning.

But for some reason, Long Yuanxiang trusted her very much.

So she was sent to Class D as an undercover agent.

When did Long Yuanxiang's undercover plan start?

Let's move the timeline forward to Katsuragi Kohei leaving the cave.

Katsuragi Kohei said at the time that he was going to find the next stronghold, but he actually wanted to negotiate with Long Yuanxiang and discuss plans.

Even at the last moment, this man will exercise caution to the extreme.

After checking that there is no one nearby, he still released false information that he wanted to find a new territory.

Katsuragi Kohei didn't investigate Totsuka Yahiko's location anymore because he trusted Totsuka Yahiko.

But trust does not mean complete relaxation, so Katsuragi Kohei released false information when Yahiko Totsuka did not concentrate on the search.

In this way, even if someone really hides the area Yahiko Totsuka searched, they will feel that their next step is to find the next territory and will not continue to follow them.

……

The situation was as follows.

Long Yuanxiang came to an empty place alone.

This is the place where Katsuragi Kohei asked him to meet. Normally, Long Yuanxiang should bring some followers over.

But this incident is more important, so Long Yuanxiang didn't bring anyone over.

Long Yuanxiang looked around and found that he couldn't find the location of Katsuragi Kohei, so he shouted loudly: "Come out, Katsuragi, didn't you look for me on the boat first?"

That's right, Katsuragi Kohei had already made contact with Long Yuanxiang when he was on the ship.

However, that contact was not directly seeking cooperation, the main purpose was to know what kind of person Dazai Osamu was from Ryuuen Sho.

Make some preparations for meeting Osamu Dazai.

After all, among the first-year students, only Ryuuen Sho had contact with Dazai Osamu. Although Ryuuen Sho had suffered at the hands of Dazai Osamu, he knew better than Katsuragi Kohei.

However, during the contact process, Katsuragi Kohei would naturally take some contempt because Ryuuen Sho had lost to Osamu Dazai.

But Ryuuen Sho had guessed why Katsuragi Kohei wanted to ask Dazai Osamu's information from him.

So when Katsuragi Kohei came into contact with Dazai Osamu, Ryuuen Sho came suddenly and said that he wanted to hold on for a while. In fact, he wanted to tell Katsuragi Kohei, "Although I lost to Dazai Osamu, I am still the leader of Class C, right? You can take it lightly now." A thought.

But Long Yuanxiang's approach is still very effective.

Sure enough, Katsuragi Kohei understood the meaning of Ryuuen Sho's sudden arrival.

When he landed on the island, after hearing the content of this special exam explained by Mashima-sensei, he came to contact Ryuuen Sho.

Why not choose the leaders of Class B and Class D?
