That night
After dinner
Camp site
(Y/N)'s POV
Hirata: Our card was seen...?
Me: Yeah...
We were talking behind a big tree. The girls were around the bonfire, gossiping about Horikita dropping out from the test.
Me: You're the only one I've told. It suggests that Ibuki infiltrated Class D to find our leader. She might be the panty thief, too.
Hirata: But why... No, thinking won't get us anywhere... The greater worry is... They'll name our leader tomorrow...
Me: The penalty of our drop-outs and a guessed leader alone will be minus 110 S-points. Having our leader guessed will negate all of our bonus points.
Hirata: Which only leaves us with 50 S-points?
He looked down.
Hirata: Once the result are revealed, the finger-pointing will start.
Me: It'll become a witch trial.
Hirata: I thought this test would be a chance for our class to come together... I thought, if we could work together to beat this, it would forge bonds between us. But... This could be the end of Class D.
He was trembling in a panic state.
Me: It's still too early to give up.
Hirata: No, it's already too late.
Me: Hirata, you said you are looking forward to my next advice, didn't you?
He looked at me.
Me: We're winning, Hirata.
The Next Day
Camp site
(Y/N) POV
Today is the last day of the test. Everyone was cleaning up the camp site. I was rolling up the tent when Sakura approached me.
Sakura: Um... It's finally over, huh?
Me: Yeah, it is.
Sakura: What do you think our scores will be? There was the thing with Ibuki-san, too.
I looked at Hirata who was given a clipboard to write down the name of the leaders.
Me: Who knows?
...
Students gathered together and headed toward the rest area at the beach. Underneath the provisional tents, they have prepared tables and chairs for our use.
There were no signs that any retired students were waiting on the cruise ship. Sudou, who was usually with Yamauchi and Ike, suddenly decided to walk with me.
Sudou: (L/N), how close you with Horikita actually?
Me: Umm, to the point where she considered me as a friend, maybe?
Sudou: That makes me jealous.
He sounded frustrated.
