Chapter 5 Part 4
Gazing at the dazzling diamond-shining sea, Sakayanagi took a sip of water. Not so much to hydrate, but rather to bring moisture back her lips.
It was 7:05 in the morning. Just when Tsubaki was starting to put his plan into action.
"It seems they are on the move."
Staring at her tablet, Sakayanagi launches the instructions with her walkie-talkie in hand. Sakayanagi continued to apply the GPS search on the night of the 10th, the night of the 11th and the night of the 12th, and the three days in the middle of the night. To surround Ayanokouji, it was necessary to work outside of exam hours.
"It seems that the waiting time is over, so let's get started."
"That is fine, but there is no guarantee that we will meet just because we have moved to the same area, right?"
An indifferent voice comes out of the walkie-talkie again. It belongs to Tsukasaki in the same class as Sakayanagi. He explained that he would interfere with the first graders and finish today's assignment, and send them there.
"In the last 12 days, the interior of the uninhabited island has undergone a gradual change in terrain. Do you know what that is?”
“Change of terrain? .... In summary, is it what happens after a lot of people move?
"So is. Students and teachers commute around the uninhabited island on a daily basis.
In fact, don't you think Tsukasaki-kun uses it naturally to choose a safe and fast route? "
Although the changes are slight, there are many roads that clearly show signs of having been used by people because of the rain.
"Above all, it is not difficult to guess the route if you know where you are going."
"I know you are not looking directly at it, but it is as if you can see the road."
Although it is only on a tablet, Sakayanagi can see the uninhabited island in three dimensions. She has a realistic simulation in his mind of who they are and what they are like. And beyond that, it goes and captures the shadow of the person who is painting this whole picture.
Sakayanagi then spent a while looking at the sea, and after half an hour, she looked at her tablet again.
"Well, there are very few people who do not move at all during this time in which they try to get to their assigned areas and tasks ..."
And from there, if we cut the grade down to just freshmen, we can cut it down to its lowest point in an instant. And on the third, we find a GPS signature that hasn't moved since the test started at 7:00.
"Takuya Yagami-kun? Riku Utomiya-kun? and Sakurako Tsubaki-san? I wonder who my adversary is. Or is it the three of them? "
She laughed and narrowed her eyes with joy. Sakayanagi began to think about the person who had brought her this interesting fight.
That was three days ago. Returning at midnight on the 10th day of the special exam.
Takemoto's group, who had a walkie-talkie with Sakayanagi, contacted her.
“What happened at this time? Are you in trouble? "
Sakayanagi thought it was some kind of accident, but it seems like it isn't.
“No, is not that. Actually, Ayanokouji wants to talk to you. "
"Ayanokouji-kun?"
The unexpected name cleared the consciousness of Sakayanagi, who had numbed a bit.
"I am in debt, I would appreciate it if you would let him talk to you."
"Of course…of course. Please take charge. "
"Wait a minute." After a time of silence...
"Sakayanagi".
"Good night, Ayanokouji-kun".
Sakayanagi begins with an elegant greeting that makes it hard to believe she's in the middle of an exam on an uninhabited island.
"It seems that the classes are working well together."
"Yes. I was able to contact Ryuuen-kun and Horikita-san. We are progressing smoothly. I haven't heard the details, but it seems that Takemoto-kun and the others were taken care of. "
"Your group is also making great strides, now you are in fifth place. You are in a position where you can aim high enough."
"Not that there are no worries at all."
"Is that so?"
"Have you seen Ichinose-san?"
“No, I have not seen her even once during this exam. What happened?"
“I got a call saying she was acting a little strange. She has been lost for several days and I am worried ... "
It is a long special exam it would not be unusual to get sick or depressed.
"So, what do you want from me?"
"There is one thing I want to ask you Sakayanagi."
"Please, do not hesitate to ask me. I will pay you back for saving my classmates."
"About the White Room."
"It also sounds like a very interesting story"
Ayanokouji explains that Nanase was one of the assassins sent by Tsukishiro, since
Sakayanagi knows the story of the Acting Director. However, other than that, there are
White Room students lurking. He explains that it is most likely Ichika Amasawa
"It would have been better if you had told me before."
Sakayanagi felt disappointed, as if she had missed an opportunity to have fun.
"Because none of it was safe."
"So you want me to destroy that person named Amasawa Ichika?"
“Huh?..”
Ayanokouji feels puzzled by Sakayanagi, for saying surprising things
"Actually there is one more thing, I have another big problem."
Ayanokouji reveals to Sakayanagi about the main topic, Miyabi Nagumo's reward for Tsukishiro. Sakayanagi is the only one of the second-year students who has known Ayanokouji since childhood, and she is the only one who knows him thoroughly. But the reason they have talked about this kind of thing before is largely because it is a problem that Ayanokouji has naturally, and because he did not have Sakayanagi as an
"ally".
Originally, in this school, when you are in a different class, the scheme of being enemies will not change until you graduate.
To win, there is a chance for Sakayanagi to use the White Room part.
However, she knew that the risk was not that high since he was in contact with her. And this time, as a result of putting that lower risk and the new risk on the balance sheet, there may be a sudden change in which you can benefit.
"I mean, in the near future, the first-year students will take action against Ayanokoujikun, right?"
"That's what I mean. I want to ask Sakayanagi to take care of it. "
"But if it's the same White Room student, I don't think it's possible for someone else to chase Ayanokouji-kun."
"The first years will probably try to force their entry. The most effective way to get rid of me is to exploit the fact that I am in a group completely alone. If they are in a position to do so, they will be able to block by force the assignment and, if they want to go further, obstruct movement to the designated area. "
Regardless of the number of people who come, Sakayanagi thinks that it will not be difficult for Ayanokouji to get rid of them if he adopts a forceful method. But that's not exactly the way he likes to handle things.
“If it's an opponent that the first years couldn't defeat with all their might, Ayanokoujikun's name would spread throughout the school immediately. As for me ... whether I should be happy or sad is a complicated matter. "
“I'm sure you would be glad to hear it. Besides, Tsukishiro may be planning something .. If possible, I want to focus on that. "
"I understand the situation very well
"It is inevitable that Sakayanagi's workload will increase.
"I get it. If you want to keep a constant watch, you inevitably run the risk of having to
use a GPS search on a frequent basis. "
Inevitably, there will be a point where you have to trust Sakayanagi's side.
"Don't worry. We already know all the scores for the group to which Class A belongs."
"So ... you've had very close contact with them."
“It is very important to know which groups have problems and which groups have plenty of space. There are a number of groups that have some room for growth, but not enough to make it to the top 10. So even if you use GPS search a few times per group, you can still get to the last day in plenty of time. "
It was a strategy that could only be accomplished by joining forces with Sakayanagi's class A, who had perfect control, and Ichinose's C-class, who would never betray her. The cost of insuring a walkie-talkie was not a silly thing to do.
"All I have to do is stop the first years who are heading to Ayanokouji-kun, right?" "Are you sure you can help me?
"It would have been a bit boring exam just to help you complete the task, and besides, this story seems like something that could benefit me."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that it is too big a commission for me to pay Takemoto-kun's debt .. In other words, it will be a new" favor ", right?"
"I know it hurts to hear this, but if you get rid of them, I'll owe you a" favor "
"It's decided. Well, then I'll get to work on my preparations."
"Oh, and if you don't mind, can I keep this walkie talkie as a loan?"
“Of course I was going to do it anyway. It's easier to get things done if we can get in touch. Then, could you return the walkie-talkie to Takemoto-kun? I will tell the situation and tell him to give it to Ayanokouji-kun "
Sakayanagi remembers such a night on the tenth day, and smiles like a wonderful memory.
On the tablet, the five groups that Sakayanagi had sent towards the freshmen are in detention.
“Well, now we have arrested the five suspicious groups. Are we trying to identify the person who planned this attack? "
With a walkie-talkie in hand, Sakayanagi contacts the students in Class A.
