"Then let's add another serving of king crab, it takes up too much space."
The three of them chatted and contributed to the construction of the online warehouse.
"Are you having a seafood buffet? You can't possibly finish it all!" Net Warehouse said with a mournful face.
"Although it's not a buffet, if it's free, it's not much different from a buffet. You can think of it as an à la carte buffet, where you can order more as long as you finish what you've eaten."
"I don't want to sleep with abalone and lobster anymore. It's much more pleasant to sleep with the three beautiful girls in the room." Having failed to defeat them all, the net warehouse decisively surrendered.
The group then quickly packed their belongings.
"Speaking of which, what should we eat tonight?" Honami asked. "I don't have much experience, but Chihaya and Hayasaka should know, right?"
"Leave it to me! I may not be able to cook fancy dishes, but I know a lot about food, you know? I guarantee everyone will have a great time!" Hayasaka patted his chest and gave his assurance.
“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you, Ai.” Chihaya patted Hayasaka on the shoulder. “Shall we go eat seafood tonight? While it’s still fresh from the first day it was brought aboard.”
"So the king crab and lobster that Hayasaka-san mentioned are waiting here?" Honami laughed.
"That's what they call 'what you keep in mind will eventually come to pass.'" Hayasaka gave a thumbs up. "And it doesn't even cost any money! It's wonderful! Now I only worry about one thing—it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!"
"It's alright, President. The mountain vegetable set meal will help those who find it difficult to go from luxury to frugality to return to frugality."
The mountain vegetable set meal is amazing, you can't argue with that!
The first-year students boarded the cruise ship in the morning and are expected to arrive at the uninhabited island that evening.
Therefore, lunch can be enjoyed on a luxury cruise ship.
"Alright, if everyone's done getting ready, shall we go eat? There are quite a few restaurants, but if everyone comes at once, we might have to wait in line."
"Shall we set off now?"
"Yes, we can order food first, then drink beverages and enjoy the sea view while we wait—do you think there will be a barbecue on the island at night?" Net Warehouse was already dreaming.
156. The Final Peace
Although the group of four moved rather slowly, the restaurant was already packed when they arrived. It was their first meal on board, and everyone was filled with enthusiasm and anticipation.
However, it hasn't reached the point where we need to wait in line.
The four of them found a seat, ordered their food, and when they learned that "it will probably take a while," they didn't object. Instead, they ordered juice and decided to wait patiently.
It was at this moment that Chihaya received a text message from the school.
At the four-person table, Chihaya and Hayasaka sat on one side, while Honami and Amakura sat on the other. Therefore, Chihaya didn't need to worry about Honami and Hayasaka noticing when she took out her phone, and Hayasaka didn't care at all.
Upon discovering that the text message was from the school, Chihaya calmly indicated that she needed to go to the restroom and left the table alone.
In the toilet stall, Chihaya opened her text message.
The text message contained a simple picture of an island, with several markers on it.
These are the checkpoints for the upcoming special exam. To earn more class points, you need to occupy more checkpoints. Chihaya already knows the locations of half of the checkpoints, but they are relatively scattered.
This is already quite important information for Chihaya. After all, this special exam shouldn't give Chihaya too much extra care just because she was the champion last time. That would be too unbalanced, leading to unfairness and preventing the development of healthy competition.
After memorizing the information, Chihaya sent an email to Suzune, asking her to meet in person sometime after lunch.
The other students are unaware that what awaits them is not a summer spent enjoying a guesthouse built on a deserted island, but rather harsh conditions for wilderness survival.
If students are told from the beginning that the upcoming special exam is about wilderness survival, a significant number will likely feign illness and skip it. Conversely, if they are simply told they will be having a relaxing vacation at a guesthouse on a deserted island, even those who are genuinely unwell will not cause any problems.
Once all the students were in place, they were informed that they would need to survive in the wild and that leaving would result in a deduction of class points. Even though they were extremely reluctant, the students had no choice but to stay and overcome the difficulties.
However, Chihaya has a God's-eye view to some extent, which makes her life a little more comfortable.
Next, he planned to "divide the spoils" with Lingyin, and hand over two-thirds of the check-in points that the school had told her about to Class D.
After agreeing on a time and place to meet, Chihaya leisurely returned to the dining table.
At this moment, a slight commotion arose in the restaurant.
"What happened? It was a bit noisy just now," Chihaya asked.
"Nothing happened. It's just that someone from Class A said that the people from Class D were 'defective products' and that they didn't deserve to eat at such a high-class restaurant. They should just go get a hamburger instead." Hayasaka repeated the words of someone from Class A.
"They really have no manners." Chihaya commented. "I never expected there would be such a student in Class A."
"That person should be Totsuka Yahiko, right? I remember him often hanging around with Katsuragi-san." Honami thought for a moment and then told Chihaya the other person's name.
"He's unlikely to amount to much." Chihaya shook his head, thinking that if he ever encountered Totsuka Yahiko again and he made that "class nobility" theory, he would definitely teach him a lesson he would never forget.
Sometimes Chihaya was quite puzzled by the school's class assignment principle: highly capable people were assigned to lower-level classes because they had flaws; but in higher-level classes, some obviously incompetent people would appear.
For example, this Totsuka Yahiko, apart from his decent academic performance, Chihaya felt it was fair to put him in Class D, since he had learned to look at people with a superior attitude at such a young age.
Such a creature would at most be an elite monster in the game, or perhaps not even that.
Upon learning that Sakayanagi would not be joining the class on the cruise, Chihaya felt that Class A had no chance of winning.
Since Sakayanagi isn't involved, leadership of Class A will inevitably remain in Katsuragi's hands. Given the Sakayanagi faction's current expertise in internal strife, they'll certainly cause trouble for the Katsuragi faction. And if Class A, under Katsuragi's leadership, fails to achieve any substantial results, the Sakayanagi faction's encroachment on the Katsuragi faction will become even more pronounced.
Therefore, Chihaya believed that as long as they paid attention to Class C's movements, they would have the outcome of this wilderness survival battle in hand.
......
After a hearty lunch, Chihaya returned to her dormitory for a short rest before heading out to her appointment.
He and Lingyin arranged to meet at a coffee shop.
"Are you still muted?" Suzune asked Chihaya after seeing her.
"Yes, but it doesn't matter." Chihaya took out a pen and paper, sketched a small island, and marked a few points. "Don't ask, just write them all down."
Seeing this, Lingyin didn't ask any more questions and immediately memorized it.
She quickly nodded confidently.
"No problem."
"That's good. What you remember is key. Class D's final results will depend entirely on your memory and subsequent decisions, Suzune."
"Yes, thank you, Chihaya," Suzune said earnestly, her gratitude genuine. Although she didn't yet understand Chihaya's motives, she believed Chihaya wouldn't deceive her.
“There are some things that I can instruct Ayanokouji to do,” Chihaya said. “I think he will do them.”
Some of the checkpoints are located in remote areas, requiring exceptional physical strength. However, Ayanokouji, traveling alone, can unleash speed comparable to Tarzan, making him an extremely useful support character.
In this respect, Ayanokouji has a considerable advantage.
"So the specific details will only be told to me later?" Lingyin asked again.
“Here’s the thing, once we arrive on the island tonight, you can decide for yourself. After the ban ends, I’ll contact you to discuss the follow-up arrangements. We’ll talk about the specifics then.” Chihaya said.
"I see."
"Then Suzune, enjoy this rare moment of peace a little longer." Chihaya's words were loaded with meaning, but she didn't say it outright, since he was still in a "silent" state.
"Is that so?" Rinne seemed thoughtful. Because of Chihaya's "silence," she now carefully considers every word Chihaya says before making a decision.
"Then we'll see you later, good day." After giving her final greetings, Chihaya said goodbye to Suzune and returned to her room, intending to take a nap and enjoy the comfort of her bed one last time.
After all, the next week would be spent surviving in the wild without a bed.
......
157. You'll regret it if you don't eat it.
After taking a nap, Chizuru immediately took Hayasaka out for afternoon tea after getting up.
In a sense, this was the last dinner of the week, so Chihaya completely gave up on controlling her intake and, contrary to her usual behavior, ordered several desserts, a large cup of milk tea, and even an ice cream cone.
"Are you planning to go on a killing spree today?" Hayasaka asked, looking at the table full of desserts in front of him. "Or are there other beautiful girls coming over?"
"Lingyin will be here in a bit, and then there will be no one else."
"Do I need to avoid it?"
“No need. We have a deal. Once we get to the island, you’ll probably need to coordinate with her,” Chihaya said.
"Understood." Hayasaka nodded.
Although she had a general idea that there would be a special test after arriving at the deserted island, Hayasaka was unsure of the specifics because Chihaya kept quiet. So she just ate and drank with Chihaya, but she wasn't really that unrestrained. Overall, she was still very girlish and concerned about her figure.
Chihiro is quite different now. Although her meal is very elegant, the amount of food she eats is considerable. Hayasaka estimates this is what she's consumed over the past few days.
Furthermore, because the food on the table was decreasing, Chihaya kept ordering more. Since there was no waste, the staff didn't object and took whatever she ordered. They even proactively asked if she needed a glass of freshly squeezed juice to cleanse her palate.
This reminded Chihaya—and he then ordered an iced cola from the staff.
Are you planning to fast for the next week?
Hayasaka finally couldn't help but speak up after Chizuru ordered a lobster pie.
Eating desserts and drinking beverages is one thing, but why is this guy eating a main course?
"I suggest you eat some too, or you'll regret it."
"...Then I'd like a sirloin."
"Sure, give me some."
Would you like me to order another one?
"No need."
Because most people were either curious and exploring the ship's facilities, or were resting due to the fatigue from getting up early to take the bus, there was hardly anyone eating there.
Therefore, Chihaya is quite relaxed and the food is served very quickly.
Soon the lobster pie and sirloin steak were served.
Hayasaka deftly picked up a knife, cut the steak into pieces, and then gave it to Chihaya.
Chihaya ate her lobster pie and steak with great relish, while Hayasaka, while eating her steak, kept an eye out for anyone coming.
A little while later, Lingyin also arrived.
"Gui'an Bell Sound".
"Good afternoon, Chihaya, and Hayasaka-san." Suzune greeted them, looking at the scene before her with some hesitation, but after a few seconds she still asked, "Chihaya, didn't you eat lunch? I remember you went to the cafeteria, didn't you?"
"I ate lunch normally, so Suzune doesn't need to worry about that." Chihaya paused during Suzune's appearance, elegantly folded a napkin in half, and then gently wiped her lips.
