Chapter 4: Everyone and Their Day-offs

In the life of this cruise ship, the question of where and what lunch to eat every day is attached.

In the morning and evening, a buffet-style meal is prepared with the consideration of the school side, and it is available for free.

It is free to use or not, but it is not only free but also very beautiful, so it is popular with students, and admission restrictions are laid from 7 am to 9 am divided into 3 times.To avoid congestion.

You can use it within 60 minutes, and you can book your favorite time zone from your mobile phone.

I usually have breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning, but because the reservation was delayed 8-6 has been filled the time zone of 8 o'clock 9 o'clock, it has become a meal of a little early at 7 o'clock.

This time, when noon was reached, I was strangely hungry.Perhaps because calorie intake was the minimum required in the uninhabited island test, the body wants energy.

Dining using the café terrace is popular, but the price of the meal is special.If you eat a lunch with a set of drinks, you will need at least 2000 points.

It may be good if you eat fun with friends, but today is one person if you hate raw.

In this case, it would be a natural flow to think that you want to save without spending money as much as possible.

It is the presence of a shop that becomes a thankless existence there.

In short, you can easily buy rice balls and sandwiches like a convenience store.

I immediately went to the shop and paid 1 onigiri, then a small pack of tea and 250 points, and I was looking for a place to eat with a plastic bag in one hand.

It is ok to use a suitable rest space, but because usually such a place is used by someone, there is a strong resistance that will share a narrow space.

When it becomes a place where people who do not know to some extent do not care even if they are nearby, they usually become outside.

As a result, I arrived at a deck near the bow on the 6th floor overlooking the sea.Of course, since it is a place where there is no usage fee, it is also suitable to buy food lightly at the shop and eat it.

I wanted to enjoy the magnificent view of the sea while eating a little snack, but the time zone was a little bad.There were many students who came for this scenery, and it was difficult to calm down.

Although it is a large deck, it is difficult to secure space after all if there are many people to use.I looked around and found 1 vacant bench and the back of Nanase sitting on the bench next to it.

A sandwich that she thought she had bought at the store and a pack of milk were placed next to her. It's funny, and it's the opposite of what was found in the other side until yesterday.

After all, what people think is mostly the same.I turned my gaze toward the sea without moving from this place.Indeed, a meal with this view in front of it would be delicious.

But-The problem is that the number of 3rd year students is also high, just as there are many in the same grade.

Although there were still a few, the 3rd year students who noticed this immediately began to look at me for surveillance.However, if I left here immediately, it would be that I hated that gaze and ran away.There is also a possibility that it is determined to be effective and promoted.

By the way, even yesterday, Nanase was a sign that there is a story.I remembered that the story was interrupted because I was called by Kobashi, and I decided to call out.

It is also an excuse that she stopped by this place to talk to her. "Nanase"

When I called my name, I looked back to the back with surprise. "Ah, I see."

It seems that I just had a sandwich in my mouth, and I looked at it while making sure that the ingredients did not spill out.

When I saw the place where I started eating in a hurry, I felt a little sorry.

It seems to have made me panic with unnecessary things because I used it as a means to oppose the 3rd years.

"Ah, bad.shall we get back together?"

Although I tried to say, it can not be so due to Nanase's character. "Hey, I'm sorry,

If I could not spit out more than I had put it in my mouth, I began to eat it.

"I'm sorry. Um, I'm sorry, that, actually I was eating rice."

It was a tone like a secret confession, but I can see that I was eating rice. I knew what it was from the time I saw the back figure.

"Well, can I help you?""

Somewhere in the state of still panic, I remember a little strange feeling.

It seems that he is not calm in his eyes and can not concentrate on the conversation with me.

"Ah, no, it was like there was a story yesterday too.I thought what it was.At that time, I was called by Kobashi and it flowed."

"What are you doing?"

Thoughts are dull, words do not come out immediately.

After thinking for a moment, Nanase shook her head from side to side. "I'm sorry, I've solved myself, so can you forget it?""

"I see.That's fine."

If it is a problem, Nanase has been helped a lot, so I thought I would get on with consultation, but if I solved it, I would not mind.Rather, the main reason was that I felt that such a thing does not matter now.

"I was sorry to suddenly call out.then i will return to the ship.There are more people than I thought, and I don't seem to be able to calm down."

"Is that so.See you later, senpai."

I will leave this place just as I have done my errands.

The deck, which looked back only once again, Nanase was facing the front and resuming lunch.

１

After all.To find a place for lunch, I went to the stern of the 5th floor, where there were few people.This is the place where I talked with Himeno last night, and it has been confirmed that there are few people who usually enter.

For the next few minutes, I stared at the rough waves created by a ship that had forgotten its original purpose.

An unscheduled person approaches such a place.

Are you alone in a place like this for lunch?" "Sakayanagi.what happened here?"

i'm sure you were on the same floor as nanase until a while ago.

"It's a coincidence.I want to say that, but I have been chasing Ayanokoji-kun."

did you come after him? However, Sakayanagi's feet are bad and should not be able to keep up with my walking speed.

There is no way that I let someone follow me ahead of me.

"It's a simple reasoning.It seems that you were shown on the deck on the bow side just before you ate lunch, but you were abandoned because of the number of people, right? It is not so difficult to predict where to eat, even because we were looking for snacks in our hands and the sea view."

It means that I've completely read all of my behavior patterns and got here. "Ayanokoji-kun also wants to eat by looking at the scenery."

"I can not say that the scenery unlike the bow is a first-class product, but I do not have so many opportunities to look at the ocean like this."

By this time next year, it is not necessarily that there will be another uninhabited island test. School trips are also planned for 2nd year events, but the details are unknown.

This may be the last opportunity to see the sea.

"I think that you can see a lot of scenery that you could not see from now on, like this sea.In that sense, Ayanokoji-kun probably chose this school and it was the correct answer."

"That's right, I think so.However, I have only seen the sea once before entering this school."

I was a little surprised by the surprise of Sakayanagi .No, it may not be unreasonable to be surprised.In fact, I never went out of the facility until I was in 3rd grade and I was 14 years old.

If you know the outline of the White Room, it should be a common perception.

The scenery I saw only once, it was when I had the opportunity to go out for a short while after being transferred out of the facility.I did not touch the sea water directly, but I have walked the road with a view of the sea.

However, I was not impressed by the sea I saw for the first time. I just went to walk in the outside world, in no emotion.

Do you know "Under the wheel"?" it's a hermann hesse novel.

It is one of the most well-known novels he has written in Japan.

"The protagonist of that story, Hans, was a gifted genius.He goes on to study at an elite school and hopes for his future well, but eventually he begins to wonder if he has lived only in academia.And as we tried to live up to our expectations, we got frustrated and went into decline."

The end of Hans Giebenrad is tragic, and he eventually falls into the river and dies. What's wrong with that?"

"I don't think he was a genius.Because true geniuses don't get frustrated.Not to mention choosing death at the end of it, it is the bone of stupidity."

Sakayanagi seems to interpret it as suicide rather than accidental death.

"I used to" People can know the warmth by touching each other.It is a very important thing.The warmth of human skin is not bad either. " Do you remember?"

"You said that."

Was it the end of 1st grade, 3rd semester, just after the end of the special exam?

Hesse, who wrote Under the wheel, was also as troubled and frustrated as the protagonist Hans.However, he says that he was able to move forward without losing his life because of the existence of his family."

Hesse, the author, and Hans, the main character of the book, seem to have very similar backgrounds. It can be seen that it was a story that projected itself.

A strong gust of wind blows for a moment when Sakayanagi was staring at the sea.

"You───"

I saw the hat float up in an instant, and I immediately reached out and caught it. ". It's dangerous."

If the reaction to reaching out slightly was delayed, the hat would have jumped into the ocean. "Thank you."

it's dangerous to wear it on the deck.

"Huff, that's right.But this is my trademark."

Sakayanagi holds a hat in her hand and embraces it with his chest. "Now, I suddenly remembered something a little nostalgic." "Nostalgic?"

"No, it's not a big deal.It means that I also have a bit of a feeling in the sea." Even for one ocean that looks the same, the memories of each one are different. by the way, you didn't ask why you followed me.

"Is it annoying to follow me for no reason?""

I was wondering what kind of content to say, but I was told that I did not even think about it. "Why not?""

"I just wanted to talk to Ayanokoji-kun.I was able to talk to you at that place, but you don't really want to show me how you talk to me, do you?"

I was so grateful for your consideration.

However, since I am not a good talker, there is no particular topic that swings to Sakayanagi. "Can I talk to you for 1 minute?"."

"Oh, my god.can i ask you while you're eating?" "Please, do not mind.That's enough if you listen to me."

Take 1 onigiri out of the bag and remove the packaging by hand. "Yesterday, I came to my place one-of-a-kind Ichinose-san." ichinose?"

"What is it?"

Recalling yesterday's events, Sakayanagi began to look back.

２

"That. Sakayanagi-san.do you have time?"

After lunch, Ichinose, who visited me while I was resting at the cafe on the deck of the ship, called me.There is no reason to refuse because only 1 person had tea.

"What's wrong with you?""

I knew the contents of the story before I heard it, but I dared to lean my head strangely.

"I thought that I had to apologize for the special exam.On the last day, I did something selfish. well,

I'm really sorry!"

I think she was prepared to some extent that he was not an opponent who could make excuses, so Ichinose-san was able to bow her head.

No, I think she didn't make bad excuses, no matter who she was.

Even if it makes me angry that I am pulling the A-class, and the cooperative relationship is destroyed, it can not be helped.

I think I felt that I had done that much.

"Please raise your head, Ichinose-san.I'm not angry at anything." ". huh?"

"Rather, I recognize that we have contributed enough as the same group.The correct answer rate in the task is also high, and you played a central role in the harsh desert island life by bringing together the friends who were scattered.And as a result, you won the 3rd place brilliantly."

"Well,but. "

"It is true that Ichinose-san acted a little arbitrarily on the last day.However, the loss to the group by it is at most a few points.It is not enough to blame when compared to the contribution level.If I had fallen to 4th place with this slight difference, I might have received some blame, but I didn't have that either."

"But that is because it is a result theory "

"Sometimes the theory of results is also good, isn't it?Things don't always go well.Rather, if we were in 4th place by a narrow margin as a result of fighting with all our might, the mental damage we suffered would have been great."

I think Ichinose-san's apologies have doubled because of my attitude that I do not try to blame at all.The remorse did not disappear.

"I do not feel sorry if I do not take responsibility for something, I have been such a face." "Well, that's not it. there may not be anything."

"If that is the case, may I punish you?"

Ichinose-san is relieved by the fearless face that this shows, but does not nod small. "I see.I think that makes me feel better."

"Fufu, you are a strange person.So that's right ─ ─ ─ Please sit here."

I urged him to come in front of me and let Ichinose sit in her seat.

As she becomes quiet like a borrowed cat, I have the clerk prepare a menu table. "Please, please ask me what you like."

"Well what is the punishment?"

"From now on, you and I will spend about 30 minutes afternoon tea together." huh? is that punishment?"

"That's right.I will receive a precious 30 minutes of one-of-a-kind ichinose-san, it is nothing but punishment."

"I see, I wonder. but, if Sakayanagi says so, I'll follow."

It was Ichinose who did not fall to the bottom, but I ordered a drink according to my instructions.

"You are really honest Ichinose-san.Even though it was demeaned by me once, I do not feel it even the slightest dust, and I will go out with you like this."

"I don't think I've been demeaned.In the first place. because the mistakes I made in the past are

true."

"At least I want to hide the past that I want to hide, the past that I do not want to let people know.Even if that is the fact Ichinosesan says."

I have seen many excellent people up close, from children to adults.

Of course, many people recognize their talents even though they know that they are the best. On the contrary, incompetent people who can not use it at all have seen dozens of times that?

And I did not know 1 person who could be called pure goodness, regardless of excellence or incompetence.

It is the same for both my father and mother, and for Ayanokoji-kun. "You are an indescribable presence.So sometimes I look very scary." "I. scared?"

I'm sure I've never been told of such a thing in my life.However, the person who has been afraid of Ichinose Honami is surely not 1 or 2 people.

"Humans who live in this world have more or less the evil part.But I can't feel it from you at all.It's like a mass of good."

"That's too much to buy.It was like when I was in junior high school, because it was a bad thing "

Her past, which is shameful and can not be bragged, remains as an indelible reality even now.

"My goodness here has nothing to do with these kinds of things.In the first place, even if you are temporarily involved in evil, there is an irreplaceable family love in the background."

Even if it is evil in light of the law, it can be taken as good depending on the point of view.

"That goodness, which is both your advantage and your disadvantage.Please be careful not to be used." is that about ryuuen-kun?"

"He's not the only one. Horikita, will use your goodness if you want to win." Put one breath and I continued to tell the most important thing.

"And Ayanokoji-kun is also so."

The former applies to each class leader, including Ryuen-kun, who she spoke of.

Ichinose-san was upset because he saw the name of Ayanokoji-kun who suddenly came out.

"On the last day of the uninhabited Island test, perhaps thanks to you Ayanokoji-kun was saved." wait. Well, what is that. "

"This is just my guess.There are a lot of things that you do not understand, so please think of it as talking to yourself and listen to it."

If I pursue it here, I could easily imagine that Ichinose-san would see some obscure part, but I avoided it.It would be boring to hear it in such a form.

"If I look at you, I can somehow sense that Ayanokoji's feelings are different from those directed to other students."

"Yeah, yeah!? No, no, no, no !"

"It would also be good.It is an instinct as a human being to have special feelings for a particular heterosexual.But ─ ─ ─ If you are too inclined, you may eat a painful shippeshi.If the opponent is Ayanokoji-kun, it is still the case."

"I do not understand what Sakayanagi-san is saying well." That's a warning today.I will not step further in this place. "Let's keep this story so far.It's time for afternoon tea."

I would not have been able to feel the taste of Ichiichino no Sese-san, who contained the tea that had been carried in his mouth.I could not forget the words I uttered, and I should have stuck in my head.

It was also my modest mean-spirited, merciful, and strategic.

３

Sakayanagi finished talking about such an exchange with Ichinose. I had finished my meal and had just finished drinking 200ML of tea.

"It is a sin to shoot the heart of Ichinose-san, who boasts one of the most popular in the school year." It seems to be a floating remark, but I can not accept 1 mm in a good direction.

"It's tough, sakayanagi." "Hoo-hoo, it's a sexual thing."

He defends Ichinose as if he was ahead of him, and is preparing for the next step that he can use. "If I take action to hurt Ichinose here, you will be more trusted by Ichinose."

"If you can get the trust from her, it will be easier to turn around before this."

Sakayanagi has one side of an ally, but at the same time he naturally has one side as an enemy. It is because of the two sides of the relationship that I am using that point well.

but why did you tell me that?"

"The story I just talked about was about Ichinose-san, but what is important now is not there.In this school life, the number of people who know about Ayanokoji-kun is increasing little by little.And they have a strong interest in it."

Certainly, if the relationship with Ichinose remained thin in the desert Island test, she would not have rushed to me until she caused trouble to her friends.

"The 3rd year students had a strange eye for it as it accompanies it."

I understand I wonder if it was also a chat purpose to have followed me, but the main topic is there.In that short time, Sakayanagi noticed that he was being watched by 3rd years students.as expected.

Was the story behind it a preparation step to touch on this? "Are you in trouble with the 3rd years?"

"Well, speaking of trouble, it's trouble.It seems that I have turned a troublesome opponent into an enemy."

"It's a troublesome opponent. Student Council president."

The existence that seems to be a strong enemy among senior students will only float around Nagumo

"On the last day of the student Council President and the uninhabited island, I was in agony one by one.It seems that I missed the 1st place because of that, and it is an enemy of the eyes."

"You were scooped up by trying to produce a dramatic win." "Were you aware of that?"

"It is probably the opinion of the majority of the uninhabited island test that Koenji was alone and alone.However, we knew early on that the Student Council president deliberately kept the score down.If you make too much difference, you will be blatantly highlighting the scheme of trying to win a particular group in the entire 3rd years.I looked at the flow of the cards I had, and I could see the strategy."

I was going to fully acknowledge the ability of Sakayanagi, but I still go on top of evaluation.

It is evidence that I had grabbed the full extent of the desert Island special test, the flow perfectly. "Is there anything I can do to help you?""

"No, it's okay.Nagumo can not stand around lightly flashy.Also, sakayanagi took care of me a lot in the desert island test.I can't rely on it any more."

"Even if you don't like it, it's good.I was glad that you relied on me, and I also fully utilized the proposal of Ayanokoji."

"Use? you mean?"

Sakayanagi giggles, squinting and gazing at the sea.

"In the desert island test the other day, when the end of the race was approaching, we decided that it would be difficult to get 1st Place and 2nd place.Koenji-kun and the Student Council President's group's scoring pace was more than the maximum score our group would get."

Well, that group 2 was showing a different dimension battle.

"The aim is 3rd place, but there was a group of Ryuen-kun in 1 of the rivals that exist in the endgame several.Even though he was a small group of 2 people with Katsuragi, he showed tremendous stickiness.So I asked him for help and decided to bump into the Hosen."

"I see, that's what it is."

"In any form, if Ryuen-kun makes a move that deviates from this exam, the movement of score acquisition will be dull."I think it's a great way to get back to the top of the team and get back to the top of the team," he said.

it means that you succeeded in crushing the existence of ryuen, your rival, while helping me. However, there is a part that I do not know yet even if I hear it so far.

Ryuen also worked hard for 2 weeks to reach the podium, but he cooperated easily with Sakayanagi. It should not have been so difficult to imagine that if I collided with Hoquan, I would not be safe.

It is only clear that some kind of promise was exchanged....

If you throw away the possibility of 3rd place, it will not be done with a little deal. for example, you were paid a high amount of private points."

If Sakayanagi had used the handover card that his classmates had in their possession, he would have had income.There is no wonder it is presented to Ryu Ryu-en, who is trying to collect a huge amount of private points.

"I have not paid 1 point, and I do not plan to pay in the future." i mean, it's not money.

In this school, it is basically a fixed stone of trading to exchange private points.

"It seems like a mystery, but I can't teach Ayanokoji anymore.This is a promise made between him and me.Until he tells me to keep my promise in the near future."

Sakayanagi said that"that wish will strangle himself in the near future."

If you think so, do not nod that it is not a return by money, such as private points.

"Anyway, please be careful Ayanokoji-kun too.Even if 1 problem was solved, the White Room students still exist, and the 3rd years problems also came out."

"It's a series of troubles, but I'll be careful."

From Sakayanagi, the ringtone comes to be heard.

Sakayanagi refuses to me lightly and receives a call from someone.

"───Is that so.I will be on my way right away."

After finishing the phone call without talking for 5 seconds, Sakayanagi leaves the handrail. "After this, I will excuse myself with this because I have an appointment to meet with people." "I see.See you later."

"It was fun to talk to you."Well then, again."

After seeing Sakayanagi leave slowly, I decided to look at the sea a little more.

４

On the same day, Amasawa was walking around the ship aimlessly with 1 person. Even though I sometimes talk to my classmates, I end up laughing amiably.

I have never played with anyone in a flock. i want to meet ayanokoji-senpai.

Amasawa, who came out on the deck, murmurs in a voice that is lightly drowned out by the sound of the wind. Amasawa, who is not interested in other students, thinks that the only time he meets Ayanokoji, who is the only one who is moved, is a blissful time.However, from his own position, he has now deliberately refrained from contact.

"Uu~, I'm too bored to die one summer. "

"Good mood, Ichika amasawa."

person, it was 2nd year A class Sakayanagi Arisu who spoke to Amasawa who was looking at the sea on the deck.

Without special surprise, Amasawa turned only his gaze to her. which one?"

Amazawa is strangely leaning his head, as if it was the first existence to be seen. "I am a 2nd-year A-class Sakayanagi and I have it.After that, let me know you."

"Sakayanagi. Senpai? what do you want me to do?"

"Fufu, you don't need a monkey show.i heard you're a white room student, amasawa-san.of course, i'm not grasping it, am I?"

The White Room student, if you hear that word, you have to understand it without responding to it.

"I see.ayanokoji-senpai relied on the chairman's daughter.You know a little bit about the White Room, and if you say it's inevitable, it might be inevitable.so?"

Not surprisingly, Amasawa asks Sakayanagi what he wants.

"It's natural that he wants to make sure that he cares about the ability of White Room students." "It's good to be motivated, but is that about getting permission from Ayanokoji-senpai?" permission? You don't need anything like that.It is my personal will to be here."

"I'm quite confident.Arisu-senpai is"

"Because I am proud to have the ability of only it" "It's cool."

While applauding and applauding, Amasawa looks at the sky somewhere above.

"But I'm sorry.i'm feeling a little sentimental right now.will you do that again next time?" "It doesn't matter.I was just going to meet you today."

Sakayanagi, who was satisfied with the greeting, bowed his head lightly and tried to leave. "Ah, then there Senpai.you're gonna end up here watching me, right?"

Sakayanagi used several A-class students to constantly grasp the position until he found Amasawa and became 1 person.

"I was instructed not to find it, but did you notice it?" ah, ha, ha. I'm so cute."

"I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable.However, as you can see, I am lame, so it is not easy to find out where I am or go to see me.Forgive me."

"Ah, I want to ask 1.I'm a child who can hit you from the body, but do not hold back even if you are a crippled opponent, but are you okay?"

"Violence is 1 strong card, but it is not necessarily the strongest."

Sakayanagi said so, Tone and lightly beat the cane to the deck twice and three times. Whether that was a signal, the classmates shows up in the distance.

"I'm a senior who was following around.could that senpai be able to compete with me?" "It is not.It means that barbaric acts will soon be out of the way."

you want to have a brain fight with me? It makes me laugh."

"It's quite short-sighted, isn't it?Please do not draw conclusions without permission.After all, even if it is a white room student, other than Ayanokoji-kun, it will be a failure work.I'm not expecting too much."

It was here that Amasawa's gaze became sharp for the first time, and she looked at Sakayanagi. "It means winning or losing on any stage."

"I see.is that the violence i just said?"

Amasawa, who was interested in Sakayanagi for the first time, licked and licked his thumb. "Yes, of course.Please use any hand."

"I'll remember you, senpai."

"It would be nice if it was carved into your hippocampus.Well then, let's have a good mood." Sakayanagi walks away slowly, and Amasawa takes a breath on the deck where no one is gone.

"Even without Ayanokoji-Senpai, I might be able to enjoy a little. If it was usual, I would be in an exciting mood - ""I think it's a good idea to play with Kushida Senpai, or enjoy watching Arisu Senpai's crying face. "" I think it's a good idea to play with Kushida Senpai."

Lightly put your hands on the aching abdomen and think about what's going on.

"───First of all, I wonder if it is quiet."

It still takes a little time until it becomes perfect.

Amazawa can not move unless she sees the way out there.

Sakayanagi, on the other hand, leaves the Kamuro and the place and returns to the aisle. "That 1st year, she seems dangerous"

"Oh, do you understand?"

"But somehow.I've been with you for a long time, and I might have a strange feeling.Honestly, I don't want to be involved any more."

"Please take care of that feeling.That said, she would be better to keep monitoring to some extent." I was advised not to monitor, but Sakayanagi did not intend to listen.

If you know that this is still marked in a sullen manner, you can not ignore Amasawa

If that happens, it is because it can be considered enough to come in the form of riding provocation. you knew i was following you, right? do you want to use a bridge or a book?"

"Even if he is found, he may be able to get through it. "

Contact with the White Room raw poorly, it is possible to produce a disadvantage later. thank you for your hard work,

When his role was over, they immediately left this place.

After that, Sakayanagi takes out his mobile phone and makes a single phone call. Can you continue?"

He asks the caller to keep an eye on Amasawa on his cell phone, and adds a word at the end. "It seems that you are the only one who can rely on in this class."
