Day 5 II

The Same Day
(Y/N) POV

Hirata: Could everyone please gather around?

Everyone from the class including the girls that weren't here this morning was here. I took a quick glance at Karuizawa. Her eyes were puffy and red.

Karuizawa: We can't trust the guys. It's absolutely impossible for us to stay in the same place as them!

Hirata: But there would be problems if the guys and the girls live apart, don't you think? The test is almost over. Because we're all friends, we need believe in and cooperate with one another.

Karuizawa: You might be right. But we can't stand being in the same place as underwear thieves!

I don't think that kind of reaction in this situtation is an exaggeration.

Shinohara took a tree branch and drew a line.

Shinohara: We should separate the boys' and the girls' areas! You should move the boys' tent and make the girls' side off-limits.

Hirata: I don't know...

Ike: What the heck?

Yamauchi: If that's what you want, you guys move the tent! I'm sure as hell not gonna!

Karuizawa: We weren't asking for your help!

Shinohara noticed that the situation was slowly turning to their favor and turned to Hirata.

Shinohara: You'll help us, right, Hirata-kun?

Hirata: Okay, I'll do it. It might take a little time, though.

Shinohara: Thank you, Hirata-kun. Aren't you glad, Karuizawa-san.

Karuizawa: Yeah, Hirata-kun is the only one we can trust.

Karuizawa looked happy.

Ike: Heh. Hirata might even be the culprit.

For god's sake, just shut up, Ike. You're not making the situation better. Not to mention, I found the underwear in your bag, so you're still a suspect.

With that, those two started arguing. As they argued, more complaint came from the boys.

Horikita: Wait a minute. I'd like to raise an objection. Especially against you, Karuizawa-san.

She spoke up calmly and firmly opposing Karuizawa.

Karuizawa: What is it, Horikita-san? Are you not satisfied with what we're saying?

Horikita: I don't particularly mind dividing up the living areas for men and women. As long as the culprit hasn't been found, it is certainly a good idea to keep our distance from the men, considering the likelihood that the culprit is among them. However, I don't trust Hirata-kun. I cannot dismiss the possibility that he might be the underwear thief. Also, I'm unconvinced that he should be excluded from the ban on men.

Karuizawa: Hirata-kun would never do such a thing. Can't you at least understand that?

Horikita: That's just your personal belief, isn't it? Don't push your way of thinking on me.
