When the wristwatch turned 5 o’clock Kushi+da and her group returned Hirata, too, was roup As this was so to gather close around It see for food supplies and they looked like they were carrying food Looking fro so like strawberries, or even ss that had the shape of grapes and kiwis
”Can we really… eat all these?, they do look like some kind of fruits, but still”
Since there is no self-confidence the students looked at each other waiting for soot the courage to eat a fruit that has never been seen by them before?
”Nevertheless, my throat is thirsty… and my stomach is empty”
”Me too, my throat feels a bit dry”
Evening may come and still the students will have the sa I feel like after all, I am all alone in this
But, as the time for dinner came closer the problem of adequate food and water became distinct
”Hey! Isn’t this bog bilberry?” Did you find a Chinese bell-flower, too?” ”That’s cool!”
Catching up the uproar, Ike, as sitting close to the bonfire, ca one of the fruits, he spoke
”Kanji, do you understand what is this?”
“Ah, this is the fruit of a bog bilberry I ate this when I went for ca at Otoyama In appearance as well in taste it looks like a blueberry This one is Akebia Canada (chocolate vine) It is tasty and sweet Well, it certainly brings back memories”
Oddly, he was not trying to look elsewhere Having found these berries that brought backlike a kid, but everyone else just stood there, watching at Ike and no one said a word of adement
shi+nohara may have decided to attack Ike with her question, however, she got an upfront reply
”Huh?… Somehow, I feel that they have a much better taste than I remember”
As the cause of the disturbance is now obscure, the class is et food, even in such small amounts is still a factor that can determine our win
”At least you could do one thing Thank you for the bonfire, Ayanokouji”
”It wasn’t me, thank Ike, instead”
The fire kept burning steadily, but the s the others ere responsible for this duty But, as soon as I said Ike’s name, he came to us
”If we get lost in the woods, just by looking at the sht?”
”That is the reason we came back so quickly, it is thanks to you, Kanji!”
They can’t understand that this way it is inevitable that our camp may be found easily by the other classes, too?
It is not just Kushi+da, the other students too nodded in agreement to Ike’s words of admiration The unexpected attention and the look of honor I thought it would turn hi at Kushi+da, he was facing shi+nohara
”Hey… shi+nohara I was thinking about it all day, my behavior, I mean On an isolated island, when there is no toilet, it must be hard for the students In order to protect the points that we need I exaggerated So, I apologise”
”Huh? Why are you apologising, so suddenly?”
”It’s because ofThat ti other things, of course with bugs crawling around and getting dirty That is why I hated going to the toilet So, when I came back, I complained to my parents I reminded myself, how difficult it was, not to irls…”
Ike explained his situation while keeping his cool couy He was able to stand out as an excellent individual, and excel hireat deal compared to me Of course the fact that he had to share this story it took a lot of courage However, this courage for apologising seean explaining her situation
”Me too… I apologise for earlier For denying to drink the water froh I overstep the boundaries think I got too es so we can preserve our points and win”
Even though both of theht in the eyes, it seemed like they reconciled
Whatever happens unexpectedly, well it happens It seee to save points This preht have been felt by the other students, too That’s why Hirata would not leave this chance pass hi everyone’s attention
”Everyone, no oal It is our first time that we face such a special exas, also, each person has a different systes However, without panic, without disturbances, until the end, I want to put trust in each other and move forward”
He said this with a clear tone in his voice He co with comprehension
”After all, even if we are left with only one point, it is still good, alright? That’s because everyone has their own sense of reality But, in order to make an estimation we have to derive the appropriate nuht be left with 120 points or less This is the feeling for which D class should be fighting for”
”So, are you planning to use 180 points? That is a naive perception of our situation ”
If we end up usingmade already the calculation, Yukio
Hirata could sense as happening around hian to explain how he reached that conclusion
”Firstly, I want you to listen to me until I conclude what I have to say We have to cover the points for our ht that our sources are scarce Our need for nutritious food and mineral water should become a set”
Food and drinking water for class credit we have for 1 meal, 6 points each If we do it as a set we have 1 meal for 10 points If we have 2 meals per day, that’s 20 points If we start from today until the day we finish the exam, the total amount is 12 meals 120 points in total If we oht finish with 110 points Our temporary toilet cost us 20 points, the use of the 2 tents of the boys, adds another 20 points All that in total is 150 points We are left with 30 points and we have, almost a week to live here, that totals 180 points Hirata’s plan had a basis of truth and left everyone else at a loss for words
”When I hear that there are only 120 points left, I get the feeling that we are going to spend them, quickly, too However, it is only transient and I want to remind you that you are too conscious of the 300 points For this reason we have to see the result of the midterm test or the end of the term test, in order to find out more easily For the written exae to our points, but even if it wasn’t for A class’ superiority, we could not reach these 100 points When I see the situation, I understand that 120 points is a s to another, e reach the end of the exaive us bonus points So, in reality after all, there are plenty of points left”
