"Argh!!!"

Ike screamed and handed to his belly. He rolled on the floor while Shinohara tried to pull him with worry. We all were shocked and couldn't do anything. Sudo was the first one who moves.

"You bastard!" He yelled and grabbed Subaru's shirt. He immediately lost his calm after his friend was hurt.

"Hehehehehe. " Subaru laughed insanely.

"Why are laughing!?"

"It's very funny that I don't want to hurt him in the first place. " He said. "I just want to kill the dead-face boy who hit my head!"

He tried to kill me!?

"But didn't you say you're forced by Kashiwagi?" Yahiko asked him with confusion.

"Do you believe me?" Subaru giggled. "I just lie. I don't want to die in that cave!"

Ike still choked the blood. Shinohara was crying and shook Ike's body.

"Ike! No, please. I don't want to lose anyone again."

Sudo gritted teeth and punched Subaru on his face. His body bumped with the floor, still laughing like he was watching the most hilarious comedy show ever.

"What did you give him!?" Sudo snapped.

"Blackwater. " Subaru answered cheerfully.

"Blackwater?" Katsuragi said.

"Yes. Do you know why the water on this island is so clean? It's because the school installs the giant water purifier at the spring mouth. It filters the contaminants from the water and drops them into the well in the cave. The well becomes the dirtiest water in the world. " Subaru grinned. "We use it to hunt the animal. After the deer drinks it, it'll die in 30 minutes. And we are talking about the deer that 5 times heavier than this shrimp."

Another punch from Sudo.

In the moment of confusion. Katsuragi still kept his calm. He walked to Subaru and asked him.

"I assume that you know it because you drink it by chance. " A guy from class A said. "Since none of you dies. I also assume that you have a cure, right?"

Subaru nodded.

"This hairless man is brilliant!" He clapped his hand. "On this island, there are rainbow petal flowers. It's a magic flower that can cure every disease and poison. After we drank the Blackwater, we met it by chance. But seriously, I have lived on this island for 5 years. And I have met it only once. You will never find it----"

"I found it. " I said while picking up the flower with rainbow petals. "Ayanolucky."

Subaru's mouth couldn't shut anymore.

I gave it to Shinohara who put it on Ike's mouth.

"Ike---Ike. Chew it. " She whispered. Ike chewed it with difficultly. Shinohara used her hand to help him.

Ike's face looked relaxed. He stopped choking the blood and screaming painfully. We sighed with relief.

Subaru still couldn't close his mouth.

Sudo turned his face to our Senpai.

"Tell me, Katsuragi. " He said. "The school rules said don't use the violence with another student, right?"

"Yes. " Katsuragi nodded.

Sudo and Yamauchi walked closer to Subaru whose face was covered with fear.

"Technically, is this piece of a shit student?"

"The school rules also said if someone went outside the school without permission, he'll be fired immediately. " Katsuragi said while looking at the sky.

"Great job. " Sudo grinned.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After we talked calmly, wisely, and peacefully with Subaru for an hour. We dragged him to the beach, to the teacher tents. Chabashira looked shocked when she saw the wound on Subaru's body.

"Oh, he fell from the cliff on the way down here. " Sudo said while hiding his blood-soaking hand.

Shinohara and Yamauchi took Ike to the camp. I thought he was taking a rest now. He insisted that he wouldn't withdraw from the test. He didn't want our class to lose any points.

The school called the water police to take Subaru and his friend. The helicopter would arrive in an hour. So Chabashira-Sensei told us to go back to our camp.

We split from Katsuragi and Yahiko in front of the forest.

"It's our honor to fight side by you. " Katsuragi extended his hand. I hold it.

"Me too. " I nodded. "But after this, we will become enemies again."

"I think so. And it'll be our honor to fight you."

"Me too."

We waved to each other before going back to our camp. Sudo kept calm again while Doctor talked with Miyake with excitement.

"You're very cool with your bow, sir!" Doctor said. "Look like the samurai, sir!"

"Nah, I'm not that cool. " Miyake scratched his head modestly.

We reached the camp ten minutes later. When he saw us, Hirata walked toward us instantly.

"Everyone, are you okay?" He asked with worry.

I nodded. "Don't worry, Hirata. None of us get hurt except Ike."

"Mori-San!" Karuizawa and Matsushita who were in the same group as Mori took her from Doctor. Those girls talked and asked her many questions. In the end, Karuizawa took Mori to their tents.

I looked following them and still didn't see Horikita anywhere.

That girl shouldn't go out so far. No, she needed to not go out so far.

"Are you looking for Horikita-San?" Hirata asked me. I nodded. "She came back at the lunch. But seriously, Ayanokouji-Kun. I think she forces herself too much. She goes to find the food on the other side of the island. Don't you think it is too much?"

"Yes. Yesterday, at the sashimi party. I saw her try to cook everything by herself. Until Sato told her to stop."

Horikita was destroying herself slowly.

This morning, I thought about taking Horikita to dominate the territory around the island again, but since her body wouldn't stand it. I decided to throw this idea away.

"Say, Hirata. Where is Ike?" I asked him.

"In our tent."

I said thanks to him and walked to the man's tent. Before I came in, Sato walked out of it. She flinched when she saw me.

"A--Ayanokouji-Kun!"

"Sato? What're you doing here?"

"I--I just take the water to Shinohara-San! I didn't come here because I want to smell your pillow or something. " Sato said while blushing.

"Wait. What did you say?"

"Ah! I'm sorry for lying! I smell your pillow---but no licking. I swear to god! No licking!"

"I didn't mean that--you did what--forget it. " I shook my head. "Shinohara is inside the man's tent?"

Sato sighed with relief, she shook her head.

"Yes. Shinohara is taking care of Ike now."

"After she just survived from sacrificing to the great old one?"

Sato nodded.

"She is stronger than you think. Ayanokouji-Kun. Hm. You looked disbelieve it."

I couldn't reject it. Being mad about the toiler and being stubborn was something far from Strong.

"If I don't know her, I might think the same as you. " Sato said. "Do you know she was raised by her grandparent?"

I shook my head. You couldn't expect that I knew my classmate's background. I still didn't know what is Hondo's first name.

"Actually, she was born in Africa. Her parents are charity volunteers. They met each other when they worked in Africa. Their job was to improve the underdeveloped village. Those kinds of villages that don't have even clean water. Shinohara told me, around the world this day, many kids died every day because of dirty waters and hygiene problems."

Sato sighed.

"Her parents too. They died because of diarrhea from E.colie bacteria in the dirty toilet. This might sound funny. But in the world war period, many people died on the battlefield because of their toilets. Shinohara told me. " Sato said. "After her parent's death, she lived with her grandparent who works as the doctor. She wants to be like them. That is why she choose this school. She doesn't good at studying. So that girl thinks this school's testimonial will help her to be a doctor. Trust me, she wants to reach class A just like Ike or anyone. But when it became about hygiene problem. Reaching class A become a small point."

I nodded and looked at the tent. Shinohara was probably in there, taking care Ike as the doctor. Maybe she acted like that because of her past.

Everyone has a past.

Me too.

Maybe, I need to know their past to understand humans.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yo, Kiyotaka."

I heard the familiar sound when I was walking through the island to the beach on the fourth day of an exam. When I turned my head in the sound's direction. I saw Ryuji and Honami were walking toward me.

"Good morning, Ryuji, Honami."

"Where are you going, Kiyotaka-Kun?" Honami asked. Since we were allies now, I decided to tell her the truth.

"To the beach. What about you?"

"Just like you," Ryuji said. "So you think as I think?"

"Horikita does. " I told them the truth. Horikita seemed to be tired. So she commanded me to observe at class C's camp. Actually, she wanted to come by herself. But I stopped her.

"However, how is Cho?" I asked them about Shibata Cho, he sacrificed himself as a decoy to make me run away from Chihiro.

Ryuji seemed to be awkward to say it. So Honami told me instead.

"He can't walk for a few days. Don't worry. Not that harsh. He didn't withdraw from the test, I think he will be able to walk again tomorrow."

I felt guilty to put him into that situation.

"I should apologize him---"

"No need. We're ready to help our friend. As I always said---"

"Friendship is magic, I got it. But at least, I should visit him."

Ryuji shook his head. "Too dangerous. Chihiro will kill you as soon as you appear. Wait until this test end. You can meet him. Maybe we can hang out after this too. Me, you, and Cho."

"Wait! Where is me?" Honami protested.

"Sorry. Ichinose. This is a boy's hanging out. " Ryuji glared at me. "Maybe I find you some good girlfriend."

"I don't think there will be any girl better than Hinami. " I teased. My ex blushed.

Ryuji smiled.

"That's why we have to find a girlfriend for you. To keep you away from our Ichinose."

Those two laughed so I tried to laugh too.

"Haha. " I said with my forever monotone voice.

My friend from class B turned their face to me.

"Why do you call your mom?" Honami asked.

"I didn't call my mom."

"You said Haha."

"It's my laughing."

"Are you sure? Because it wasn't sound like laughing at all."

Cursed my monotone voice.

"Oh, look. we're at the beach!" Honami tried to help me from the awkward situation, but as soon as she looked at the beach. She shouted with shock. "What happened here!?"

I and Ryuji were choked too.

Before us, the beach was empty. There was no sign of life on that beach. Not even the clue of entertainment activity we met three days ago.

"L--Looked." Ryuji stuttered and pointed at the coconut tree on the beach.

There was the letter written.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It has to be Roanoke!" Yamauchi screamed. "The lost colony! The colonist settled down at Roanoke island! But one day, they all disappeared! There was only the letter on the tree remain! Croatoan!"

"Nonsense, Yamauchi-Kun. " Horikita seemed to be tired of Yamauchi. "They just leave the test after they use all of the points.---Ayanokouji-Kun. Send me the fish."

"Where is the magic word?"

"Send me the fish, and I won't kill you."

"Yes, ma'am."

I sent Horikita the stick with the grilled fish. She took it without any thanks. We and our classmates were around the campfire. Ike became healthy again, therefore we could catch a lot of fish today. So we arranged the fish party after sundown.

"It's class C's strategy. " Horikita explained to our classmates who looked at her. "They used all of their points. Then, they left the test. So they can enjoy the summer camp without any hardship. Huh. It's an easy way, but it'll hurt them in the end."

She stared at Ibuki who sat on another side of the campfire.

"You can leave the test and enjoy the cruise if you want, Ibuki-San," Horikita said.

Ibuki shook her head. "I never trust that method anyway. And---" She turned her glare out of the campfire to hide her red face. "Being with you is more fun."

"Aw! Ibuki-Chan is so cute!" Someone said and everyone laughed.

"Here comes the coconut!" Sato said while serving us the half-coconut with the juice in there.

I took it and drank. Wow. This was so fresh. I never drank anything like this in the white room.

"Tell me if you want more. " Matsushita said from behind, I turned around to her and saw her hitting the coconut. It split into two in a hit.

I was afraid when thought that the coconuts were hard enough to knock Koenji. And Matsushita could knock them---

After this, I would go check Koenji, make sure his head was still together.

"Do you want to know the secret of diving?" Onodera who was somehow drunken by the coconut water said with a red face.

"What is it, Onodera-San?" Shy Inogashoira asked softly.

"Hold your breath as long as you can!" I couldn't call it secret though. Onodera laughed and asked for more coconut water.

Aside from her, Sakura was talking with Wang Mei-Yu, a.k.a Mii-Chan.

"I envy you, Sakura-San. " The Chinese girl groaned. "Actually, I'm 1 year older than you. But everyone calls me Chinese Loli. All of this is because of my breast, I want a big one like you."

Sakura looked at me asking for help. I thumped up to her.

"You can do it!" I whispered.

Sakura blushed, she nodded and took off her notebook, giving Mii-Chan some good advice.

Drink a lot of soybean milk.

Another side of the campfire. Yamauchi was telling his heroic story to Kushida and other excited girls.

"And then, I hit that bitch on the head before he attacked Ike. I knocked him down and then, I confronted Kawasaki and his 5 comrades by myself."

"Who is Kawasagi, Yamauchi-Dono?" Doctor asked with curios. "There is only Kashiwagi, isn't it?"

"I--I---" Yamauchi stuttered.

"And aren't you the first one who got stabbed?" Miyake said.

Yamauchi couldn't say anything for a while. Suddenly, he pointed to the sky.

"Look! UFO!" And then running away into the forest.

"Teehee, Yamauchi-Kun is funny." Kushida giggled.

"Don't listen to him, Kushida-Chan. " Mori said. "Ayanokouji-Kun is the one who knocks them all!"

Everyone, even Horikita, turned their sight to me with interest.

I stopped drinking the coconut and looked around confusing.

"Is it real? Mori-Chan?" Kushida asked. Maybe she wanted to make me trouble.

"Yes! He just swang his bat! And all of them collapsed!"

"Woh! It's very cool, isn't it!?" Maezono, another NPC, said. "Tell us more, Ayanokouji!"

Everyone tried to encourage me to tell them the story. Horikita looked at me with curiosity. All of this pressure made me give up and tell them what I did.

I started since we met the cave by chance. Fight with our Class E's senpai. (I tried to give my teammate the credit.) Helped Shinohara and Mori. Then, the climax. How I knock them all.

"It's just coincidence," I told them. Although it was the truth since I just swang the stick randomly, I wondered if someone believed me.

"Um. But isn't Ayanokouji-Kun very cool?" Sato said. "He fights with the enemies alone by himself."

"No, no. If you said that, the cool one is Sudo and Ike."

Sato giggled and whispered in my ears. "If I said Ike-Kun is cool, I'm afraid that Shinohara-San will hate me."

Do you ever hear the word atmosphere drunken? Sometimes you don't need to drink any alcohol, but the atmosphere of fun and happiness will make you drunk.

It was happening to us class D right now.

Although we were on the island and drank only the coconut water. But this was the first time we had a party with all of us. Everyone was happy together. And because we were all drunk, there was no faction, no social status between us. Everyone could talk with whoever he wanted to talk with.

Sakura who never talked with anyone was talking about her beauty secret with Mii-Chan and Maezono. The idiot trio talked with the girls for more than 5 minutes without making them gross. Even Doctor talked about his favorite anime with Hasebe naturally.

When it reached 9 p.m. Yamauchi started roasting everyone.

"We all boy need to thanks Karuizawa. She made us a chance to get some girls since she took Hirata. I hope your love life to be forever. " He bowed to the leader couple. Karauizawa smiled proudly with her boyfriend while everyone laughed.

"But beware, Karuizawa. " Yamauchi continued his word. "Some boys hate you for the same reason."

Hey. Don't look at me. I would never steal someone's boyfriend, it was a sin.

"And our savior, our man. Hirata Yousuke. " Yamauchi spread his hand. "He himself never does a sin until now. But I can say he is the bad influence for your son and daughter."

"But I don't do anything!" Hirata protested.

"You exist does. You made the girls want to NTR and the boys want to commit the murder. See? His being made us become the bad man!" Everyone laughed until their tears appeared. "Go to hell, Mr. Riajuu."

His glare turned to me, so I realized that I was his next prey.

"Ah, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Are you tired when you introduced yourself? This guy told us he very much enjoys Buddhism. At first, I thought he is just another chicken. But he swims faster than Usain Bolt!"

"Isn't Usain Bolt the runner?"

"Don't mass with a little detail. What next? Yeah, he always acts like he is just one who has no friend. But seriously, he almost has his own harem! And he also dated Ichinose Honami and broke up with her because of Shizuku-Chan! Pardon, Ayanokouji. If you're a loner, I'll be the lonest."

Yamauchi looked around.

"And this lucky bastard. He always wins the gambling. Ask him, everyone, ask him. How much my points are in this guy's pocket? He even got C6 Raiden in three pulls. Come on, is it even possible? Oh, she wasn't even on the banner when he got her." Yamauchi said. "And he is goddamn innocent. He doesn't know what is in trend right now. He doesn't know the difference between iPhone and Nokia. Do you know Steve Jobs is already dead?"

He sat on the floor beside me. "But for some reason. He recognized immediately when I said bondage. And he knew I didn't mean the food when I used the word Oyakadon."

Everyone around the campfire laughed. Even Horikita seemed to be funny a bit.

Everyone except me.

I wanted to laugh too. But I couldn't.

Yamauchi looked at my face.

"See. He never smiled too! What's wrong with this guy!? Please. I want to see his smile. Can anyone make him smile? If anyone can make him smile, I will give you 1000 points!"

It wasn't much but it was worth trying on.

Hondo. " I will tell you a joke. Do you know what is sometimes short, sometimes long, and all men have it? The last name."

Sakura: The futon flew off. (Futon ga Futtonda.)

Yukimura. "Do you know which number is most delicious? It is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028... Because it's a !"
