Volume 3 Chapter 5 Part7 (1/2)

After about 10 minutes, Horikita came back and felt the uneasy air of the campsite It was because of the dark smoke that could be seen from the back of the temporary toilet

It was too early to make a fire She also noticed that the place where this was coe

“What’s that smoke? What on earth happened?”

As I joined Horikita, I caught Ike’s tension nearby and asked him about the situation

“This is serious It’s a fire! Fire! So behind the toilet!”

All the girls ere lined up in front of the shower rooone As soon as they heard that a fire broke out, they must have left in a hurry

“I can’t see Ibuki The fire ht have been her work Where is she?”

“As soon as she noticed the fire, she just walked there”

I hurried to the back of the temporary toilet, there were Hirata and the others

Ibuki was also there

Horikita was ready to call out Ibuki, however the moment she saw her profile, she hesitated Because Ibuki’s expression was so genuine She couldn’t hide her confusion about the fire That’s the face she was

“Does that mean… She didn’t do this?”

Such doubts attacked Horikita, causing her confusion

If it was for the key card to be stolen, it had to be Ibuki If there was a fire, only Ibuki could have caused it Nevertheless, Ibuki was still on the scene and acted surprised by the fire

When I looked into the origin of the fire, there was soot burnt But since most of it had been already turned into soot, I couldn’t tell exactly what it was, as I saw it just for a moment

However, some parts that had not burned completely looked familiar, so the moment I saw them, I realised

“Did the et burnt?”

Horikita also noticed the sa, so she raised the question

“Yup Apparently, it looks like that Who would do this?…”

“… It’s one after another…”

Horikita gave a sretfully

“I a We kept them all piled up in front of the tent and I didn’t expectdaytiest properly what happened”

Rather that searching for the culprit, Hirata headed towards the river as he preferred to extinguish the fire first

While scooping water in an eloomy expression on his face

“Why… Who would have done so…”

Spontaneously, with all his ht, he squashed the plastic bottle in his hands

Where did his usual refreshi+ng expression go? There was a terrible at in the air

Hirata’s body and mind, as he constantly worked as the leader to consolidate our class, continued to bear a heavy burden

“I don’t think you have to overburden yourself”

I said words that couldn’t be considered co a thank you

“This incident… We have to discuss it, properly”

“That’s right Most of D class has witnessed the fire I am sure they would like to find out the truth”

With a depressed expression, Hirata returned to the site of the fire, holding the scooped water in his hands

“Hey, who did this? Does that mean there is a traitor in our class?”

When ent back, we found Karuizawa at the head of a confrontation between boys and girls

“Why are you suspecting us? Isn’t this a whole different matter from the one with the underwear?”

“You think we don’t get it? Did you not burn it, so that you can mislead us?”

“Don’t speak nonsense, as if we could do so like this”

“Wait a ether”

I received a request from Hirata to pass the water Instead of hiuish the remnants of the fire At once Hirata went to the center of the circle and intervened to mediate and convince them not to quarrel

It may have been due to yesterday’s theft of underwear incident, but both sides have now heated up and showed no sign of settling down It see a hunt for the culprit here

“For the ti, there’s no fear for the flames to spread out”

Shaking the overturned empty plastic bottle a few times There should have been no more contents left inside, but one by one a few drops of water trickled down the fire
