His care for the environment almost reminded me of a small, alert animal. But does Sakura talk to her imaginary friend or a ghost?
"Did you hear that? Did you hear what I just said?"
"Half of it, but I don't know what you mean by those words". Sakura looks relieved because I didn't hear what she said.
"And why do you want to see me?" I asked.
"Eeehhh ... that .. yeah oh b-really I was anxious about the test" He then pushed a piece of paper at me, and as I took it from him and looked at it, I was afraid of it,
on it is a list of names.
Class A: Sawada Yasumi, Shimizu Naoki, Nishi Haruka, Yoshida Kenta
Class B: Kobayashi Yume, Ninomiya Yui, Watanabe Kihito
Class C: Yuuki Yuuya, Nomura Yuuji, Yajima Mariko
Class D: Ike Kanji, Sakura Airi, Sudou Ken, Matsushita Chiaki
Looks like Sakura is in the group (Cow). It looks amazing to be in this group. The men in the group are Sudo and Ike, men who are unwilling to sympathize with Sakura's fate. And in this exam, one was forced to spend time with fellow group members of the same class not caring about anything. If only I were in the same group as him, I could have helped him in this situation, there was not much I could have done at the moment.
The time had come for the group to fight together, they could not split or hesitate. I could help her by secretly contacting her on the phone during the exam, but if I were to apply this unnatural behavior in the middle of the exam, I would suddenly draw attention to myself. And in a test like this, such an action might be no different from life and death.
"I think it would be great if there was someone you knew from another class, but I don't think there's a” I said.
I thought about it, but if I wanted to help her, Ichinose and Kanzaki were the only ones I could ask for help. But since Ichinose is already in my group, it will be difficult for him to help as well. Besides I can't trust sakura to Sudou and Ike
"I'm sorry .. I don't have any friends either" I told her.
"Oh, please don't apologize, I don't have any friends at all" Sakura told me. It's sad, we're like two guys competing against each other to see who could be more pathetic. So, not that I was proud of my lack of friends, I turned to a different topic.
"By the way, I also want to ask you something, Sakura" I said to her.
"eeh? me? What're?".
"I wonder if Yamauchi contacted you in any way since the discussion time ended," I told him.
"Yamauchi-kun, no, is there something wrong?" she asked.
"I understand"
back on the island, to take advantage of Horikita, I was forced to use Sakura first. In order to manipulate Yamauchi, I promised to give Sakura an email in return for her cooperation. Of course, I have no intention of giving an email to Yamauchi without Sakura's consent but I have not told Yamauchi about this. I was worried she might have gotten close to Sakura but it looked like I was already worried about something that didn't exist.
"In addition, if there's anything on your mind, just call me" I told him.
"Is that not a problem?"
"Yes, in the end it was all I could do "Even though I only gave him that faint phrase, Sakura's eyes shone like an innocent child. Maybe he's happy to interact with me like this.
"I'll definitely call you!" he called out to me
“Sure"
In contrast to the Sakura image she usually put on, she currently looks full of life and spirit. It seems like he is learning to be more aggressive day by day. Although it had only been a few days since the exam on the island. Sakura has grown to be quite strange.
Since it was such a crazy and strenuous test, it seemed like it had an impact on a growing high school girl like Sakura. He hasn't changed at all, but even in a difficult situation like this, he's still learning to stay positive.

And as soon as I got back inside the ship, a shadow fell onto my body. With her hands swaying over her neck, she was in a hurry and looked panicked. It looks like a serious situation. That was what I saw when I turned back, I saw the figure of Yamauchi Haruki, my classmate who had now taken the form of an Asura demon.
"A-what's up?" I asked. Of course, I already knew what the reason was but I asked him as a matter of formality.
"What are you asking? You promised to tell me Sakura's email, what happened to that?" Unfortunately I have to meet Yamauchi now. I have to think of something.
"I didn't see you specifically, but I just wanted to know" he said.
"Do you really think a loner like me would know Sakura's email?" I tried to explain it to him and tried to make him sound sincere so he could understand.
"Could it be?. You tried asking Sakura for her email?" He asked me As I nodded, Yamauchi's face gaped with a look of shock and he fell to the floor with both knees.
"Then that means...You don't know the email.... And you're still using me?"
"I think I should say yes" I admit.
"And what happened? Did Sakura give you her email?”
"... sorry"
"I'm sorry? what do you mean sorry? I'm not asking for an apology, am I? I asked for his address" Such an emotionless answer reflected Yamauchi's disappointment in me.
"How dare you. How dare you lie to kuuuuuuu !!!" Yamauchi yelled at me.
I thought I had done a bad thing using him like that, but I still couldn't give him Sakura's email like that without her knowledge. Even if she asked him directly, she had to reject him frankly.
"Will you give me more time?"
"What time? Liar is the beginning of a thief" Of all the people in Class D, I never imagined the first one to call me a liar was Yamauchi. It's unsurprising.
"Then will you forcibly ask Sakura?"
"Yeah, I'm going to do that" It seems like he's already blinded by anger and can't think clearly, he seems to be intending to get Sakura's email by force if necessary.
"Sakura says she hates men who just talk"
"You just made it up, Ayanokouji" he said.
"Yes, what if you don't like me now, but
obviously why I didn't give you the email and tried asking for it forcefully was pointless" I told him.
"... Reason alone, you never knew the email from the start, did you?" Yamauchi lowered his head while turning his gaze away from me.
"But you know Sakura likes digital cameras, right? Actually, I hear he currently has a camera with an outdated model, but he doesn't have enough points to buy a new one, see? If it's Yamauchi, you'll buy him a new digital camera, it'll be a nice gift for him, won't you?”
"Ohhh .. I think it's good .. but I don't have any points either"
"You see, in this test, by hiding ‘target’, being a traitor, or guiding your group along to victory, you can easily earn enough points to buy him a digital camera, he said, am I wrong?"
"J-so, if I work hard, there's still a chance that I can get close to Sakura?" Now I have made sure that there is only one conclusion that Yamauchi will reach.
"Right now, you, Yamauchi Haruki, have to work hard to show your manhood. That's the only way you can get close to Sakura's idol" I pushed her.
