Cote : I Just Want to Grant Your Wish!

The sound of rain gradually subsided and the nearby forest shimmered with a clear light.

Under the gray sky, there was still no sign of color.

The clothes hanging by the stove were almost dry, so Kaoru Mitoma began packing up, preparing to return to the cruise ship for dinner and an early rest.

The past few days on the island had been too harsh.

"What was that about earlier?"

After watching him for a while, Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but speak up.

"What?"

"That... you just made her... what was that command about?" Kamuro Masumi couldn't bring herself to say it.

Even though she usually didn't care about such things, this situation seemed different from her usual experiences.

Kushida Kikyo, as a girl, actually obeyed such a command and followed it willingly?

What kind of game is this?

Kamuro Masumi didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

"It's one of her kinks" Kaoru Mitoma said. "Although I find it hard to understand, she seems to enjoy it."

Kamuro Masumi fell silent.

She didn't understand these things, but that didn't mean she was blind.

Based on Kushida Kikyo reaction earlier, it was clearly Kaoru Mitoma twisted sense of humor.

"Suddenly, I feel like betraying you."

If it was Kushida Kikyo this time, would she be next?

Just the thought of it made her feel extremely awkward. Kamuro Masumi felt she could never accept this kind of play.

"If I wanted to do something to you, I would have threatened you already. There's no need to wait until now" Kaoru Mitoma chuckled. "Besides, you don't really care about these things, do you?"

Kamuro Masumi crossed her arms and retorted "Why can't I care?"

"Do you care about me groping Kushida?"

"...Seeing a pervert in front of me is really disgusting."

Kamuro Masumi subtly shifted her gaze, her eyes landing on the short-sleeved shirt in front of her—the one he had used to shield her from the rain.

At this moment, Kaoru Mitoma had finally changed his clothes and no longer had to go shirtless.

"Because both you and Kushida-san are too much of a temptation for a teenage boy like me. I can't help but want to possess you more."

"Should I call the police now?"

"Even though Kushida-san looks reluctant, she's actually more eager than I am to drag others into this."

"What exactly have you two been hiding from me?"

"Back then, I asked you to take her in, but you refused."

"I'm not a lesbian!"

At this point, Kaoru Mitoma, seeing that things were mostly settled, took the initiative to ask.

"Are you heading back now, or are you staying here a bit longer?"

Kamuro Masumi hesitated for a moment before whispering.

"Will Sakayanagi really lose to you in this exam?"

"Not exactly. She's purely interested in seeing me and Ayanokouji-kun clash. Whether she wins or loses isn't her main concern" Kaoru Mitoma pondered for a moment. "Or perhaps she's already chosen the method to confront me."

In this uninhabited island exam, Sakayanagi Arisu, due to her own circumstances couldn't participate on the island and could only watch from the cruise ship.

Under these conditions, she had to temporarily hand over the class command to Katsuragi Kohei.

However, if Sakayanagi Arisu had the intention to interfere with the exam, her subordinates could cause disruptions at critical moments, sabotaging Katsuragi Kohei plans and leading to heavy losses for the Katsuragi faction.

This was why Kaoru Mitoma had asked Katsuragi Kohei to secretly keep an eye on Hashimoto Masayoshi and to put the entire class on high alert on the final day.

Even so, Kaoru Mitoma felt that since she had personally joined this summer trip, it was unlikely she would let others act on her behalf.

After all, defeating an opponent is more satisfying when done by yourself.

Was she planning to confront Ayanokouji Kiyotaka next?

Or was Sakayanagi Arisu aiming to annihilate the entire Katsuragi faction during the summer break?

Kaoru Mitoma thought for a while but decided to stop speculating. He would see her on the cruise ship soon enough.

"I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."

As he stood up to leave, Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but call out to him.

"Wait."

Kaoru Mitoma turned around just in time to see her pouting nonchalantly, reluctantly saying.

"The clothes... I'll wash them before returning them to you."

"No need, I can take them back to the cruise ship now." He reached out his hand to the girl, his intention clear.

Kamuro Masumi stared straight at him, making him feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Perverted foot fetishist."

Kaoru Mitoma face darkened.

It was one thing for Kushida Kikyo to say that, but you... a mere thief think there's something wrong with me?

"Don't pretend to understand if you don't. People like her are usually too repressed. I'm just helping her vent a bit."

"Yeah, yeah, you reached in, but you couldn't do anything."

No matter what he said, Kamuro Masumi wasn't going to believe him.

Kaoru Mitoma patiently explained "Whether we attack Class D or not, it will expose the fact that Kushida-san has betrayed her class. She thinks that by doing this, she can please herself and even gain some advantages, but in reality, she's destined to be left alone. She has no one to rely on except us."

The reason was simple.

Both Class D and Class B now knew that their leaders had leaked information.

Logically, they should have launched an attack on Class C without hesitation, but in the end, they didn't.

This strange behavior was bound to raise suspicions among those who were paying attention.

The fact that the other side didn't initiate the planned attack also sent a signal.

It meant that someone had tipped them off.

"Really, nothing escapes your calculations" Kamuro Masumi sighed, though it was unclear whether she was feeling sorry for the pitiful Kushida Kikyo or had noticed something else.

"Clothes" Kaoru Mitoma didn't forget about this matter.

For some reason, Kamuro Masumi showed a flash of annoyance.

"Fine, take them and leave already!"

Kaoru Mitoma took the clothes from her hands, then stuffed the ones he had just taken off into his backpack.

He walked alone to the door of the cabin, looked up at the sky and thought that after the sudden storm, the night sky would likely be clear and bright.

"Don't go back too late."

Kamuro Masumi silently watched him leave, her expression complicated.

This guy was really straightforward, even when doing something shady right in front of her, completely unaware of the need for discretion.

Should she call him shameless?

She knew she shouldn't care about these things.

No matter who he targeted, they were ultimately just ordinary classmates, with perhaps a slightly strange way of interacting.

There was no need to overthink it.

But for some reason, she felt inexplicably irritated.

More irritated than when she saw him taking photos of Kushida Kikyo and even harder to forget.

"Pervert..."

Kamuro Masumi muttered to herself. After a while, she also left the cabin.

***

By noon the next day, this short yet long uninhabited island exam finally came to an end.

All the students, wearing relaxed smiles, quickly gathered on the beach, enjoying the drinks and rest areas provided by the school.

"The exam results are being tallied now. Please wait a moment..."

Although the school broadcasted this announcement, many had already calculated the outcome of the exam.

Especially when they saw Ibuki Mio standing in Class C position.
