CHAPTER 1: PART 4
The situation around began toany results Hirata’s teawith great fervor
”It is a river!! A river!! What a beautiful feeling it is! It looks like there is an equipment! It seems that ill be able to have an exclusive possession of a o all together at once”
Ike’s team had left earlier for a search mission, they may have found out that spot already And it see it so that other classes won’t snatch it away
”This is a glorious achievement, if we can maintain the source of the river, our situation may vastly improve”
It seeinally, it was already decided that this would be the place of our base caht it was because of the terrain and the environment, but it seems that it is just the first step forward
”Still, there are 2 teauess it will be a trouble if no one stays here to wait for them”
The clock showed that it was alinal schedule, besides, there are countless possibilities of where they could be wandering in this vast forest
”I’m sorry Hirata, Kouenji, too, because it is my fault, in the middle of our expedition, I trailed off the road”
”Ah, If you are talking about our little Kouenji, he returned alone a little while ago, he wanted to go and swim”
It seeet lost, but he sneaked away out of the forest Souy like him
”How did we lose him? Did you not take your leadershi+p properly?”
”I am who I am and I am not someone ould put restraints on people… Do you understand?”
This guy, is he trying to agitate hi free fro well-informed about the forest
”I get it, a leader other than showing personality has no ability to answer in complaints, that’s him”
”You are just like him”
“Did you say so?”
“No, nothing”
There are too
”What?”
Suddenly Horikita, turned around and looked back She glared at Sakura with sharp eyes
”Eh?!”
”Just, now, did she look at me?”
”SShe She was not looking at ht?!
Sakura looked confused and being in denial, trying to run away from the view, she took her distance from us
”Do not let her scare you Fro Horikita was scary as a demon, anyway”
”So that I allow her to mess with me as she pleases?”
”This is the place! We have found the spot! It is a!”
We finally arrived to the spot that was found by Ike and the others To the interior of the cave I saw a mechanism embedded in the wall
However, to this edge of the river, there is one artificial big boulder This is where the inally e the tent and all other necessities to a place close to the river
”Yes, the sunlight cast its shadows in the beautiful water Sht be an ideal spot to build our base camp This is fantastic, Ike!”
”He he! I know, right?”
The waters of the river run calht The river is surrounded by the thick forest and a sand road It feels like this place was already established and opened before I do not believe that this is a newly discovered site This was built by our school for a specific aim
”What kind of verification do we need to prove that this river is ours now…”
The river has a great width, it goes extremely downstream from this point onward and it seems like it continues that way
At one glance towards the end of it, we are standing at the flat point that seems to be the only exception in a place where the difference between high and low is really extreme Maybe there is not another place as well as this one around here
However, we came to find this place too easily We don’t even know if there is a possibility for us to actually soht too siht to hold this spot
We only worried about one thing, while walking parallel to the riverside to the direction of the forest Yet, somehoe came to hold the north canal
”It is just like understanding the vicinity around the school It seems like we are the only ones who can make use of the river”
Along our way, as alking down along the river that we thought we could use, there was a sign of old wood So this place was designed specifically for a reason after all and unauthorized use is prohibited This is what is written on the wooden sign
Feeling light-headed as alking around, Hirata and his team came back
”Concerning the decision to build our base ca this spot?”
”We already decided on that! Is there any other alternatives, anyway?!”
”There are! Of course, having this place is to our benefit, there are ways toso, if we can actually hold it for 8 hours and the operation is approved and executed by our leader However, if other teams found out who our leader actually is, ill be in trouble Soravity of our situation”
Across the river and all around us, in 360 degrees there is only the forest If there is so at us from the trees, then ould not notice
”You , we are unprotected We are surrounded”
It is true that risk has cast its shadow, but, Ike’s observation is accurate
Even if we make the base camp on this terrain, we cannot maintain it, there are no options If by any chance the students of some other classes try to et out
Girls and boys alike seeive Ike their approval I think that Hirata, too, fro, but, froathered a lot of viewpoints
Certainly to be able to earn the right of an exclusive possession is soed knife
However, in order for Class A to monopolize the cave, they have to protect the equip them one upon another in the same location of the base camp It’s a no brainer that B class and also C class will do the saround even for the slightest risk
”Yes So after this issue, the new point is who is going to be the leader?”
More than taking possession and occupying spots, the big key factor is deciding ill be appointed as the leader
Making mistakes on this point can possibly become fatal
While everyone was thinking of avoiding this kind of role with such heavy responsibilities, Kushi+da told everyone to gather and an:
”I had a lot on s but, whether one likes it or not, Hirata-kun or Karuizawa-san stand out as persons But isn't a leader one that you could rely on and also one that has a deep sense of responsibility? I think that Horikita-san is the one that meets both conditons How about that?”
Horikita looked like she didn't expect this kind of recoe I wonder if it's less risky to let her act as a leader since she's always observing and ai for A class than to let someone else do it I think theat the reactions around me
”I agree with Kushi+da-san's opinion I also think that Horikita-san can be a good leader So long as Horikita-san is okay with it too, I would like her to take over later”
Even though all the gazes gathered on her, she didn't particularly appear as she wanted to refuse it
”You don't want to do it, right? Don’t force her I can do it instead”
Suddenly, Sudo announced his candidature, doubtful as to whether Horikita had decided not to take over But ironically, that becaer for Horikita as she soon made a cool decision
”Ok, I accept”
Even if it's a little troubleso Sudo or Ike as leader
As soon as he heard those words, Hirata immediately went to Miss Chabashi+ra to pass on Horikita's na, he received the card and entrusted it to Horikita when he came back
But of course, before this, taking into consideration the risk of being seen by someone nearby, everyone touched the device This was to cae the leader and to not let anyone find out the real one
”Okay, I resolved the proble water”
With shi+ning and fla eyes, Ike advocated to economize on points
”Huh? With things like drinking water from the river? Are you crazy?”
Apparently, Ike intended to use the river's water both as a natural bath and drinking water Meanwhile, shi+nohara and the girls seelanced at the river both disgusted and appalled
”Well, it looks nice for swi……but to drink…mmm”
”What's the matter, it's completely fine It's pure and clean water”
”Yeah, that's……it seems it can certainly be drunk but…”
shi+nohara pulled Hirata's sleeve after seeing how Ike didn't stop appealing for saving points in every way
