The exam entered its seventh day, and I headed towards the D3 area. Since yesterday, GPS search has become available on the tablet.
A message came from the school on the tablet, and upon checking its contents:
"It has become possible to suspend basic movements and tasks depending on the weather conditions. Please make sure to check the tablet regularly."
Indeed, the weather had been deteriorating since the seventh day began, and the sound of the wind grew louder. Depending on the weather, the school would likely be forced to make a decision.
Well, for now, I decided to go and headed towards the next task. The place I walked was quite a challenging path, and my stamina was starting to deplete.
Since this was a deep forest, acting recklessly alone might result in injury. Amidst this, I noticed from a distance that Kushida Kikyō, who belonged to the same D class, was walking.
"Hmm...?"
I subtly adjusted my pace to match hers every time she took a step. Then suddenly, Kikuta's steps halted. Did she notice? No, that couldn't be the case. Kushida couldn't possibly have detected my tailing, even if she tried. If even Kiyotaka hadn't noticed my tailing, Kushida definitely wouldn't. Thinking this, I observed the situation from the shadows of the trees.
After watching for a while, Kushida began uttering some words. If it was just murmuring, it was clearly a sign of illness. In that case, a radio. She must be talking to someone on a transceiver.
Kushida's language was coarse, and her true suspicious nature, which I had felt from before, began to surface. Seeing it like this, Kushida was essentially a completely inferior version of Ichinose.
Continuing to tail her, I speculated that Kushida was probably following someone, so I checked the GPS to see the people nearby. The radar showed reactions from "Ayanokoji Kiyotaka" and "Nanase Tsubasa." As I headed to catch up with Kushida , I could faintly see Kiyotaka and Nanase . But even from a distance, it seemed like the two were fighting.
Why are those two fighting... Is Nanase that White Room student? Thinking so, I saw Kushida take out her tablet and start recording, getting as close as possible.
So, she's also doing it. Damn it. I considered stopping her, but it was impossible. In that case, I'll just record what she's doing with my tablet as well. Kushida, unaware that she was being followed, failed to realize the ludicrous situation of having her own weakness exploited from behind.
As I tried to get a little closer, I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. Reflexively, I grabbed the arm of the person who had tapped my shoulder and held it in place, immobilizing them.
"Hey, Senpai, that hurts... itaattatata..."
There stood Amasawa, who lowered his voice while patting my arm vigorously.
"Amasawa."
"You noticed?♪ But you're a bit rough, Senpai... But I like you like that too, Senpai♪"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it."
With a teasing grin, Ichika Amasawa, my junior from class A, said. There's no doubt that Kiyotaka is the target, so if that's the case, Kushida and the first-year students are connected through the transceiver Kushida was using. I remembered that Amasawa had said she wasn't an enemy of Kiyotaka , so I decided to trust her words and pleaded with her .
"Hey, Amasawa..."
"It's okay, Senpai. Leave it to me."
With a devilish smile, she asked me to hold her backpack while she approached Kushida , suppressing her presence.
Amasawa sneaked up behind Kushida , who was filming with the camera. Ah, she's done for.
Then, Amasawa grabbed Kushida's shoulder.
"Shh. You might have been surprised, but you need to be quiet. It would be really troublesome if Ayanokoji-senpai and Nanase-chan noticed us, right?"
"Um... Why is Amasawa-san here?"
"I just happened to pass by and saw Kushida-senpai sneaking around."
"I'm not sneaking around, I'm just... um, yes, taking a walk alone."
I could vaguely hear their conversation. Kushida was making a painful excuse, and Amasawa approached her with a suspicious look.
And then, the next moment, there was a sharp sound! To my surprise, Amasawa slapped Kushida's right cheek! kushida couldn't comprehend the situation and instinctively covered the place where she was slapped.
"What... what's this?"
"Coming all the way out here alone, snooping around, what were you planning?"
"W-What do you mean? Amasawa-san, what are you talking about?"
"I'm looking forward to seeing how long you can keep wearing that mask."
Amasawa closed the distance again.
"St-Stop!"
"Nooo~pe."
Saying so, she raised her left hand again, this time striking the opposite cheek strongly. Uh, what was that? It's scary. Did I provoke that girl ? Did I deserve that? I just wanted to be praised normally, but I wasn't tamed well... Did I not try hard enough?
"D-Do you realize what you did!?"
"I'm being gentle, you know? Not hurting at all."
"Why... I don't get it!"
"Don't get it? Well then, maybe you'll understand if I give you a punch with my fist, huh?"
"Huh?"
In that moment, Amasawa's fist targeted Kikuta's cheek, and blood spilled from her mouth.
"Ah...!"
"Oopsie, did that hurt a bit? You probably never experienced being hit by someone, right?"
Kushida trembled in pain, frightened by Amasawa. Oh, man, this Amasawa is flying off the handle, huh? A mentally disturbed psycho twin-tail. Let's call her that from now on.
"Sh-Should I try the other side next?"
At this point, I started feeling sorry for Kushida . Poor Kushida, my condolences. Kushida couldn't bear it anymore and pushed away Amasawa's extended hand.
"S-Sorry, it's just that you suddenly hit me..."
"You're still trying to deceive? I know you very well, Kushida-senpai. You believe you're cute and don't doubt it for a second. You're a character who loves others' secrets, and if you find yourself in a tight spot, you'll drag others down with you, a real time bomb of a woman."
You're saying that? You're the landmine type.
"I don't really get it, Amasawa-san... but violence is absolutely not okay, right?"
"In that case, how about crying to the school that you got hit? You could push me into expulsion. But I'll leave you a little gift: I'll expose all the dark secrets you've been hiding since middle school and make you lose your place."
Amasawa flashed a playful smile, like playing with a toy. Kushida shouted at her.
"Who... who told you that?!"
"Finally, your true feelings come out. But shh... you never know who's watching, right?"
Amasawa lightly poked Kushida's nose and gently advised her. That was quite an insulting thing to say, Amasawa-san.
"Damn you, stop it!"
Kushida couldn't control herself and shouted from the bottom of her heart. Ah, so that's what Horikita was talking about, Kikuta's secret.
"Hahaha! Yeah, yeah, that suits you better, Kushida-senpai!"
Amasawa laughed gleefully. No, this method of 'leaving it to them' that she mentioned, is this it? My junior is amazing.
"What's with you? What are you, really?"
"Even if you ask what's with me, I just came to save Ayanokoji-senpai."
"Save him? Huh?"
"Don't play dumb, Kushida-senpai. I see through your schemes. You were planning to blackmail Ayanokoji-senpai with the tablet you recorded, weren't you?"
"I don't get it."
Kushida pretended not to understand, but it didn't work with Amasawa.
"I don't know who asked you, but you were used, Kushida-senpai. Surely Ayanokoji-senpai saw through your tail. There's no way someone as amateur as you wouldn't be noticed."
"But I kept my distance..."
"Huh? Kept your distance? Hmmm? So you admit to tailing?"
"It's none of your business."
"Yeah, yeah, I think you should just own it. But you're in big trouble. Ayanokoji-senpai is a special person to me."
"What? What's that? You like him?"
When Kushida asked, Amasawa talked about her feelings for Kiyotaka.
"I don't want to talk about it in a vulgar way, not just liking him... I love him. No, it's beyond that... I think it's more than love, it's adoration beyond love."
"Huh?"
"So, I've learned a lot from you, so just go back to the group."
"...It's not a joke, I'll make sure to blackmail Ayanokoji!"
"Even if Ayanokoji-senpai were expelled, it wouldn't solve anything, you know? I'll say it again, Ayanokoji-senpai is a special person to me. I won't let an outsider like you get him expelled."
Amasawa grabbed Kushida's hair mercilessly.
"Let go!"
"I won't let go."
Amasawa had completely crazy eyes. She's seriously messed up. Girls are too scary.
"You're definitely not normal!"
"Isn't it strange? Trembling in fear of a younger girl. But you know, that sensitivity of yours is something you should cherish, Kushida-senpai."
Amasawa praised Kushida's strange qualities with a smirk.
"I don't dislike those crazy parts of you, Kushida-senpai."
"I won't lose! I absolutely won't lose!"
"How are you going to resist then? Kushida-senpai, you can't win against me, no matter what you do. Well then, see you."
With that, Amasawa walked towards us. But Kushida, who hadn't given up on counterattacking, jumped on her from behind.
"Ugh..."
Well, I figured that would happen. Amasawa saw through Kushida's plans and easily brushed her aside.
"Can you please stop now? We don't get along well, do we, Kushida-senpai?"
Is she not planning to play with Kushida anymore? Amasawa returned to our side. It was scary. Kushida stood there, so I backed off a bit, and Amasawa followed me, handing over her backpack.
"You're really abnormal, aren't you? Truly a psycho twintail."
"Hehe, saying that, huh, Horagasaki-senpai?"
"Anyone would say the same, right?"
I returned her belongings, feeling exasperated, and it seemed like she had somewhere to go from there, as she stood up.
"I have to go to Ayanokoji-senpai's place, so good luck, Horagasaki-senpai!"
"Yeah, good luck to you too."
"Of course! After the exams, wanna do it with me? Kyaa, I'll be bullied by Horagasaki-senpai again////"
She deliberately blushed and smiled seductively, tempting me.
"Shut up, idiot, just disappear already."
I said so, smiling, as I watched Amasawa leave.
"Hehe, didn't catch me~. Well then, see you later, Jin-kun-senpai♪"
Amasawa walked towards Kiyotaka, and yep, her personality as a brat hasn't changed. But it's okay, I got to see something interesting. I guess it's about time I left too.
