The Second Question

Please write the diary entry for the first day of the training course

Himeji Mizuki's Diary:

After getting off at the tram stop, I was overwhelmed by a sudden dizziness The se of scenery, the difference in air quality compared to the streets of the city, seeood would happen

Teacher's advice:

It seereat stireat ti only to the second year of your high schooling

Tsuchiya Kouta's Diary:

After getting off at the tram stop, I felt overwhelmed by dizziness I wonder what caused it?

Teacher's advice:

It's car sickness

Yoshi+ Akihisa's Diary:

At the tram stop, I took in a whiff of the air, it seemed a little sweet, yet sour A very hts echoed whether or not it was the specialty of this town

Teacher's advice:

I a, you would have a different impression of the air quality of this town

Noticing the greenery pass the bus , I finally left the city that I'hlands that give off such a realistic feeling

”See to be on this tram for another 2 hours”

Hi opposite me as she slips her handphone back into her pocket She should be checking out the bus directory

”There's two hours left, but I don't want to sleep What should I do~”

As the space in the bus is sa thes that we can do

I turn around and look at Yuuji, who's looking outside Also looking rather bored, he yawned

”Yuuji, got so?”

”Isn't there a mirror in the toilet? You can look into it until it breaks”

”Eh, you're saying that ?”

”Nope, you'rethat your face—really can't h”

”What do you h at it!? Is h at it!?”

”I'uardian spirit”

”A guardian spirit? You can see those kinds of things, Yuuji?”

”M black hair, that's a rare guardian spirit you have there”

”Noht?”

That should be well-known as a ghost froht?

”Relax, I'”

”Ah, what the hell, you scared me”

”Actually, the hair is coffee in colour”

”Forget about the colour, that's not the i!”

Though I feel that Yuuji should be joking right fro If I'm to listen to hiain, my luck recently has been really bad,over to haunt me Never mind, let's just prepare some salt to chase them away

”Oh, Mina?”

Opposite Yuuji, diagonally in front of e as a notepad It's really rare for Minaood in Kanji Is it so that introduces red rubies?

”Hical tests I bought it since it costs 100 yen, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting”

Psychological tests? See to kill the time off

”Ohh~ seeive me a question, Minami?”

”Mht”

After saying this, Minaes

”Then let's start 'Please choose so colours'”

So, a colour impression? I suppose this is to choose who I find suits the colour the ht?

”'① Green ② Orange ③ Blue'

Please say the names of the persons who you find are suitable for the above colours”

Ooo~ Green, orange and blue, huh?

”Er at me so intently? At least let me answer the question first”

”I, I'!”

”He=>Hideyoshi+ and Blue=>Hi like that”

PLACK—Minaers

”Mi, Minah in half?”

”AND YOU DARE ASK WHY!?”

”Eh?”

”WHY IS MY COLOUR GREEN AND MIZUKI'S BLUE? CARE TO EXPLAIN?”

Wa! Though I don't knohat's going on, she's really infuriated! For her to get so angry froainst tests?

”Eve, even if you ask me why, I”

Because you're wearing grassy-green underwear—she'll throw ht?

”I won't get angry, so just say it”

”Because you earing grassy-green underwear”[1]

”SAKAMOTO, OPEN THE WINDOW!”

”YOU'RE THINKING OF THROWING ME OUT RIGHT!? YOU'RE THINKING OF THROWING ME OUT OF THE WINDOW RIGHT!!?”

”shi+mada, you can't just throw trash out of the ”

”Thanks for stopping Mina, right?”

”Doesn't ”

”What now~ I haven't been treated like this so cruelly in a long time”

”You should put a scue”

”And even Yuuji's treating me like one”

Why must I be always treated like this!?

Just as I grit ony of huy (or rather, it was one anyway) from Minami's hands

”AH! What are you doing!?”

”Let e represents 'source of motivation', and blue represents—ohh I see”

Yuuji glances at Minao ives such a look

”Sa, Sakamoto! Return that to me!”

”Sorry sorry It looked interesting, so I really felt like borrowing it to take a look”

Minaer as Yuuji doesn't look sincere at all when he apologized

”Speaking of which, does Yuuji want to participate?”

”You're right shi+mada, can I join in too?”

”Alright alrightbut, but I have to nificance in that question just now!”

”Okay okay, I got it”

What ritten on that book?

”Can I join in too?”

At this ether with Muttsulini behind us, seems like he's bored as well

”I'm okay with it”

Minami looks a bit unhappy, seems like she's a bit jealous of Hideyoshi+

”Well, thanks Ah, Akihisa, regarding the answer just now”

”What answer?”

”The question just noas 'Please choose so colour', right? Who did you choose for orange?”

”You, Hideyoshi+”

”I'm happy to hear that when you mentioned this, but I do feel really troubled by this”

Hideyoshi+ lowered his head as heon?

”Speaking of which, is Muttsulini not participating?”

”Looks like he's asleep I heard that he did quite a lot of investigations”

I poke my head out past the back of the chair, Muttsulini is definitely sleeping

”I guess it's better not to bother him”

”You're right”

Seeing him sleep like this, it'll be pitiful if he's to be called up suddenly

”Erm, excuse me Can I join in as well?”

Sitting opposite us, Himeji-san shyly raises her hand

”Then let's have everyone play

I answered for Minami while she still looked unhappy Besides, she won'tin as well

”Oh yeah, Minaender person that represents blue', what's the answer?”

”I won't say it, even till I die”

”Ho did it become like this”

Himeji-san's wide eyes look a bit teary It's because of those teary eyes that I iht of her the moment I heard blue

”Ahnever mind, on to the next question”

Minay test booklet To be able to rip a booklet right down theis Minami anyway?

”'From the numbers '1' to '10', please choose the first two nuht of'”

”I'm 5 and 6”

Yuuji said

”Well, I'm 2 and 7”

Hideyoshi+ replied

”I'm 1 and 4”

I gave my answer as well

”Then I'm 3 and 9”

Himeji-san finally has an answer

After hearing our coe off the booklet in her hands

”Let me see 'The first number the person thinks of represents how others view the person' If so—”

”A snarky, cool guy”-- Yuuji

”A calm and sensible person”-- Hideyoshi+

”Go to hell”-- Me

”Caring and cautious”-- Himeji-san

Minami called out the results

”Oh, I see”

”To be called sensible, I'm rather happy”

”Er scolded?”

”So I'entle and cautious, huh~”

We all said our thoughts

”Next, 'the second number represents the real personality hidden within you' So, let me see—”

Similar to what she did just now, Minami pointed at everyone

”A just and gentle person”-- Yuuji

”A very attractive person”-- Hideyoshi+

”Go and die painfully”-- Me

”A strong-willed person”-- Himeji-san

She again gives us the answer

”Hideyoshi+ is really attractive”

”Hiirl, huh?”

”Er the only one scolded even more?”

”Sakaentle”

Our conversation starts to revolve around the psychology test, and everyone continued to have fun

After that, Minay test with us

After a while,

”(Pats pats)”

”Ah, , Muttsulini”

”You're awake”

”Woke up because I'ry”

”Oh? It's that time already?”

I pull out the handphone to confirht now is 1:15pm Normally, this would be past lunchtime already

”Perfect ti Why don't we have our lunch now?”

”You're right We won't be able to finish dinner if we had lunch too late”

Food is a really iive any excuse that I ate already this time; that would truly be a waste

”Ah, it's tiht? If so—”

At thisbeside her, searching for so about this

”Actually, I made quite a lot of bentos, so it possible”

The prediction cae bento box!

I'rateful for her kind intention, but unfortunately, the food that shepoison that can threaten anyone's life

”Sorry Hi my own bento”

”Sorry, I brought mine as well”

”Same here”

Yuuji, Hideyoshi+ and Muttsulini all pull out their lunches to prove it, seems like they were completely prepared

”This is how it is, so Akihisa, please accompany Himeji as you eat your lunch”

Yuuji reveals an expression of glee over ht that since I'm in poverty, I won't be able to prepare my own bento

Hoho, you're too naive if you thought that

”I'm sorry Actually, I prepared my own bread”

”Oh my! My hand slipped! (smacks me)”

”my foot slipped (steps on it)”

”AHHH! MY BREAD! MY BREAD!”

After Yuuji caused me to dropon it a few times

damn it! Your combination is too perfect! How am I supposed to react?

Even so, I'ot stepped on a few times

”Hahaha, you guys aren't careful at all Really, why don't you treasure food more—”

”—You're right Why shouldn't we treasure food? I'll finish up this squished bread, so Akihisa, just eat Himeji's bento”

””(staring at each other)””

”Ah sorry Yuuji My hand slipped so—”

”I'll grab you to prevent your hand fro”

””(glaring at each other)””

”Then Akihisa-kun, if you don't mind—”

His the bento in front ofthe contents of the bento, I can't even bringin

”Ah~ Well, this”

”Aki, do you want to eat my bento as well?”

Just as I was ready to use ave me an escape route This is truly a once in a million chance!

”Thanks Mina! How about everyone open up their bentos? Then we can all share!”

I see Yuuji shootlook Really, this ood about it

”Well, well Muttsulini and I will go back to our seats and eat”

”(Nods head vigourously)”

Oh, so Hideyoshi+ and Muttsulini are both intending to escape, huh? Neverht from the start!

”I don't need it, besides, I have Akihisa's bread in my hand”

Though Yuuji's face is looking as gentle as ever, his gaze is ever serious

”Don't say this, Yuuji”

”I see, so you want to eat my bento as well! Go ahead, take as much as you want!”

”GUUH!!”

My s Yuuji seemed to have stuffCan I even say anything anymore?

I frantically chew on the food to s it Humph! This American-style sandwich is too delicious! Roasted chicken with some special marinade on it

”(ss)—that was good!”

A layer of butter was applied on the surface of the toast to prevent moisture, only the leaves of the lettuce was used, the lettuce was used to wrap the to out, and there's a layer of wasabi sauce and mayonnaise on the chicken as well

”Oi Yuuji, did you make this yourself?”

”Can't I?”

How should I say it? The sandwich he uy really isn't sos

”Then have some of mine”

This time, Minami places her bento in front of me Ooohh, hers is traditional Deep-fried us rolls are all lined up nicely in the bento box She still gavethe psychology test gaentle! I have to see her from a different viewpoint

”Then if you don't mind me”

Nohat shall I eat? I' puzzled since I haven't eaten a propertih it's rude, I still used my hand to pick one up and pop it into my mouth

”Aki, that, wellI'e to say this! Actually, I intended to let you eat that siewmai—”

”H)”

”—because between the 2 siewmais , one of them has wasabi in it”

”ARE YOU STUPID!?”

SPICY!! I'M GOING TO DIE OF SPICINESS!! MY TONGUE HAS GONE NUMB!!

”Akihisa, you ht be lucky in a certain sense”

Yuuji patted his hand onfor water

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M LUCKYah yes! Since ht be able to take Hiot to remain in this invincible mode and—

”I' your bento, Himeji-san!”

”Ah, yes Please have more of it”

”I' in—”

Waking up, I find myself in an unknown room

”Ah, Akihisa, you're awake? Goodseems like the electric shock was effective!”

Yuuji raises what looks like an electric iron in his hand, revealing an expression that looks like he can finally heave a sigh of relief

—ARE YOU JOKING? WAS I REALLY TREADING IN BETWEEN THE LINE OF LIFE AND DEATH?

”Speaking of which, is this where our camp is?”

”Ah, yes Our school is rich, that's for sure I heard that this hotel was bought by Fu course”

This place wascourse? In other words, we can suht?

—This is Fu to splash the cash whenever they want to, I hope that the school will help provide free lunches

”Oh, Akihisa! You alright!? What a reliefwhen I heard you start to regret everything you did in your past life, I thought you were gone”

Hideyoshi+, who came into the room, placed his hand on his chest

Good thing I survived

”Thanks for worrying abouthere as well?”

”Yes, and with Muttsulini, the four of us will be staying here”

Seeh to allow 8 people to sleep here, butthat the four of us can stay in such a large rooether?

At this moment, I noticed that the last person who's supposed to stay with us in this room isn't here

”Where did Muttsulini go? Did he go out to peek?”

”I don't think it's nice to say that about your friend”

Kachang ”I'm back” Speak of the devil, Muttsulini's back

”Oh, you're back, Muttsulini”

”It's great that you're okay, Akihisa”

”Ah, so you orried about me? Sorry about that”

”Thanks to that, the inforo to waste”

”Infor about what Akihisa and I asked you to check? You're really fast!”

Yuuji had quite the reaction the moment he heard the word 'information' Ah, we asked hi an e e declaration)

”I got trail of the tools that the culprit used”

”Ohh, as expected of Muttsulini”

”From the culprit's modus operandi, I can assume that it's the same person involved in both cases”

”I see But notSince you feel this way, I suppose that's right”

Even so, doesn't this mean that we have two of this kind of people (the culprit and Muttsulini) in our year? That's really strange

”So, who's the culprit?”

”(Shakes head)”

After being questioned, Muttsulini shakes his head with an apologetic look

”Ah, so you don't knoho the culprit is?”

”Sorry”

”Why are you saying sorry to us? You're willing to help us, and we're grateful for that”

That's right I asked him yesterday, so how can we expect his aren't that simple

”I only know that 'the culprit's a girl, and her butt got burned a bit'”

”What are you investigating anyway?”

Wouldn't people normally check the na? Who would knohether there's a burn on the butt!? I really want to kno that guy investigated this

”I set up a network over the entire school”

At the same time he said this, Muttsulini pulled out a s?

”A ed the entire school with a lot of these”

Beep--<welcome>

After the button was pressed, a loud hout the room

”The voice quality's rather bad”

”Can't be helped Since we're searching through the entire school, it's hard to maintain the sound quality and accuracy”

”Though we can barely hear that it's a girl, we can't tell who it is”

<i'll like=”” to=”” request=”” for=”” another=”” yuuji's=”” wedding=”” declaration=””>

After that, it's another girl's voice Like the previous one, we can't really tell who it is just fro, and the content, anyone can just use their kneecap to guess who this is

”IT'S, IT'S SHOUKO!! THAT GIRL, SHE HAS ALREADY STARTED?”

”She's really anxious about this”

Exactly what does Kirishi+uy anyway?

<thanks for=”” the=”” patronage=”” since=”” it's=”” the=”” second=”” time,=”” i'll=”” sell=”” it=”” to=”” you=”” at=”” a=”” cheaper=”” price=””>

<i got=”” it=”” i=”” will=”” endure=””>

”Hoo, that was too dangerousgood thing the training course saved my life”

”So it got delayed till next Monday”

Even so, we can't work on the weekends, so actually, we have only 4 days left

”And the other conversation includes the culprit's identity”

Muttsulini operates the ain

<still a=”” scary=”” photograph=”” wouldn't=”” you=”” get=”” punished=”” really=”” badly=”” if=”” people=”” are=”” to=”” find=”” out=”” that=”” you've=”” been=”” secretly=”” taking=”” these=”” photographs?=””>

What folloas so business talk

”That's all we know of for now”

”I see, so that's the reason why you said that the culprit has a burn on the butt”

”From how the conversation went just now, it seeirl”

”The other person seeirl as well”

We orried about the sound quality, that it may be so bad that ouldn't be able hear the conversation clearly, but since it's girls talk, if they aren't girls, it's Hideyoshi+'s doing

”This is really a beneficial piece of information to us, but a burn on the butteven if we're to flip a girl's skirt, we ht not be able to find out who the culprit is Ah~hum”

”We can't even capture a burn mark even if we're to use an infrared camera”

Besideof a way to peek at a girl's butt

”So ere you guys talking about since a while back?”

Seeing us serious with that thinking look, Hideyoshi+ tilted his head slightly as he said this That's right, we haven't told Hideyoshi+ what's going on

”Hideyoshi+, actually—(o the rest out)”

I gave him a brief explanation of what happened to us If we explain it clearly, Hideyoshi+ should be willing to help us out

”I see But if the burned part's on the bu”

Hideyoshi+ gives us a cute look as he thinks of a way to help us

”Ah, but it'll be bathing tiet Hideyoshi+ to check who has the burn mark on her butt?”

”Akihisa, why do you wantarea?”
