The message left in the letter is from Agatha's world-famous mystery novel - "There Are No Survivors".

As for Honami Ichinose?

She is the "Watson" designated by Hiyori Shiina.

But if you think about it carefully, communication with off-campus vendors is basically promoted by Honami Ichinose from the student union. Although I don't know when Shiina Hiyori's relationship with Ichinose became so close, since Hiyori can To set up the puzzle in such a good time, the help of Ichinose Honami is absolutely indispensable.

"Don't look at me, there's no hint on my face."

Seeing Kitagawa Ryo gritting his teeth, Ichinose Honami responded with a gentle smile.

Shiina Hiyori suddenly came to her after her application for the gala was approved two days ago. Just when Kitagawa Ryo, Ryūen Sho, and Horikita Suzune formed a secret operations team, Shiina Hiyori also formed her own secret operations team. , it can only be said to be a coincidence.

But now there is less than an hour left before the drone takes off in Liangding, Beichuan.

In other words, he had to find Hiyori Shiina within these forty or fifty minutes, otherwise the person to whom he would confess his love would not be there by then, and this careful planning would be in vain.

Opening the note, Kitagawa Ryo quickly looked at the contents:

[Seven little soldiers raised their axes to chop firewood; they accidentally chopped off their heads, leaving only six out of seven. ]

"Um, do you usually look at things like this from the underworld?"

Ryūen Sho, who was urgently gathered nearby by Kitagawa Ryo's phone call, heard Kitagawa Ryo read this dark nursery rhyme once when he arrived, and he also frowned and asked:

"Also, what does this mean?"

"Which activity here do you think is similar to what this sentence describes?"

Kitagawa Ryo rolled his eyes at Ryuen Sho and quickly ran to a stall on the roadside. After asking, he took the black cloth handed over by the store and covered his eyes.

"...It's actually chopping watermelon."

Ryūen Sho looked in shock at Kitagawa Ryo, who was walking step by step towards the watermelon placed on the plastic sheet not far away. Cutting watermelon can be regarded as a traditional summer entertainment here, but most of them are at the beach. performed on the beach.

"Their brain circuits are really beyond my comprehension."

Honami Ichinose also sighed with his face covered.

"It would be better to say that only the two of them can face such radio waves."

Long Yuanxiang also twitched the corners of his mouth and complained.

Relying on his super sense of distance and direction, Kitagawa Ryo split open the watermelon with a knife, and red juice splashed out. Ryūen Sho originally planned to step forward to get a piece, but when Kitagawa Ryo and the store owner confirmed that [he accidentally chopped it] After receiving the signal from the underworld of "Turn Around", I suddenly felt a little unable to stop.

"Can you make it?"

Looking at Kitagawa Ryo coming back with a new note, Ryūen Sho also looked at the time on his phone. He knew about Kitagawa Ryo's drone plan, so he asked with some worry.

"If there's enough time, I'll have already asked Suzune to do the next thing."

Kitagawa Ryo showed the contents of the note in his hand with a smile on his face:

[Four little soldiers went to the beach together; the herring swallowed the belly, and only three of the four were left. ]

"It's very easy to predict."

Following Kitagawa Ryo to the goldfish fishing stall not far away, Horikita Suzune was holding a paper net bag in her hands quite coolly, and confidently went into the water——

Then the net broke, and the goldfish jumped back into the water alive, and even splashed little bits of water onto Horikita Suzune's face.

"Come again!"

"Ten nets will give you two hundred points."

The boss has already taken out the card reader quite skillfully. It seems that this process must have been repeated several times.

"Um, is this what you said, prepare in advance?"

Ryuuen Sho looked at Horikita Suzune, who was squatting there with the fish, looking speechless, and turned to ask Kitagawa Ryo.

"..."

Kitagawa Ryo's face was solemn, and Horikita Suzune seemed to be quite attentive. She didn't even notice that Kitagawa Ryo had walked over and squatted aside.

Until a net reached into the water and gently picked up a goldfish.

[is it hard? ]

Horikita Suzune raised her head and met Kitagawa Ryo's eyes. Although the other party didn't say anything, she didn't know why but easily read this information.

"Ringtone..."

Kitagawa Ryo hesitated to speak, but kept moving his hands, one net at a time.

After collecting the required ten items, he stood up again, which took him one minute and twenty seconds.

Horikita Suzune was still squatting there stupidly.

She looked at Kitagawa Ryo and the boss and ordered:

"Add another hundred nets to her and swipe my card."

"Well, if you still can't get it, give her these ten of mine."

"It's okay, it's okay. Even if this little girl can't get it, I will give her a few."

The boss smiled generously:

"After all, the points she spent with me were enough to buy dozens of goldfish."

Then Kitagawa Ryo slowly turned around and showed a gentle smile like coaxing a child:

"Come on, play slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"When I was a few years old, I couldn't make money either."

Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth in embarrassment, and then the net in her hand broke again.

[Three little soldiers, playing in the zoo; after a slap from the bear, only two are left out of three. ]

After leaving the goldfish fishing stall, Kitagawa Ryo opened the note in his hand.

Ryūen Xiang, who came over from the side, asked in shock:

"You're not going to invite a circus, are you?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Kitagawa Ryo curled his lips, glanced slightly, and walked towards a stall that seemed to be quite popular.

"Ring?"

Ryūen Sho, who followed, also discovered the clues. In the center of the prize pool, there happened to be a huge stuffed bear.

This should be the most valuable thing among all the things here. Many students are eager to try to put it on, but the big size does not mean it is easy to put on. The teddy bear sitting there is only as wide as its head and neck. But ordinary students can't do this at all. They can only see the loops hitting the doll one after another.

"Ryuen!"

Kitagawa Ryo gave half of the trap in his hand to Ryuuen Sho, meaning that the success rate of the trap would be higher if two people worked together.

But things were obviously more difficult than Ryo Kitagawa imagined. They made hundreds of loops for more than ten minutes, but none of them caught the stuffed bear. The closest one was carried by the evening breeze and floated from above their heads. passed.

Just when time was gradually running out and nervous sweat began to leak out from the wings of Kitagawa Ryo's nose, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"cold?"

"It turns out to be Megumi."

Turning his head and taking a look, Karuizawa Emasa was standing behind him with some excitement. However, Kitagawa Ryo really didn't have time to chat now. If it weren't for Ichinose Honami being unable to help as a supervisor, he would have pulled Ichinose along. Sehonami went into battle together.

"Eh? Wait."

Kitagawa Ryo suddenly thought of something, and he gave half of the ring in his hand to Karuizawa Megumi:

"Megumi, do you see the stuffed bear in the center?"

"Does Ryo want that?"

"Roughly the same."

Karuizawa Megumi's expression suddenly became serious. She stood next to Kitagawa Ryo and threw two experimental circles to test the distance and wind speed.

Then the third ring was suddenly thrown out, and in the astonished and shocked eyes of the onlookers, it was put on the head of the stuffed bear.

"Great!"

Kitagawa Ryoya cheered, and he excitedly gave Karuizawa Megumi a hug. Just when Karuizawa Megumi turned red and felt at a loss, he quickly let go and ran to the boss to receive a new note.

"Megumi can just hold the teddy bear!"

Kitagawa Ryo, who came and went like the wind, only left a word and hurriedly left. Karuizawa Megumi also received the huge stuffed bear from the boss with a confused look on his face.

She hugged the large fluffy doll and remembered how Kitagawa Ryo hugged her with excitement just now.

Rounding it all off, does this count as a gift from the other party?

[Two little soldiers, roosting under the sun; the poisonous sun takes away their lives, and only one of the two is left]

"Shoot the target!"

Long Yuanxiang finally guessed one item proudly. When he was passing by, he happened to notice that the [shooting target] stall used the ancient Chinese legend of "Hou Yi shot the sun". All the balloons placed on the wall as targets were Painted in a golden crow pattern, it symbolizes the sun.

Kitagawa Ryo also trotted to the booth where the target was shot. Maybe it was because of the tight time, or maybe it was because he spent too much energy on the ring. Kitagawa Ryo's hands were also trembling a little, and he failed to complete the prescribed number of targets the first time.

Ryūen Sho, on the other hand, was not good at this at all. He fired two shots and then chose to give up, looking helpless.

"Arisu!"

Just when Kitagawa Ryo was in trouble, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Sakayanagi Yusu who happened to be passing by with Kamuro Masumi.

"Ah, you are actually calling me so affectionate at this time."

Sakayanagi Yusu was carrying a cane as always, she turned around and teased with a smile on her face.

"It seems that Ryo has encountered an insurmountable difficulty again."

"I remember I went to a fireworks display with you, Arisu. You seemed to have hit the target perfectly at that time."

Kitagawa Ryo also handed over the gun in his hand without hesitation:

"Just think I owe you a favor."

"Hunter! A 100% hitter! The king of target shooting at the fireworks display! Please take action!"

Being amused by Kitagawa Ryo's slightly exaggerated acting skills, Sakayanagi Yusu had no intention of refusing:

"It's really been a long time since I played."

After stretching and moving his body, Sakayanagi Yusu also inflated the balloon accurately.

Her marksmanship was indeed quite accurate, and she accomplished the set target with ease.

"How about it?"

Sakayanagi Yusu put away his gun.

"Amazing!"

Kitagawa Ryo quickly applauded:

"It's just like a few years ago, the balloons in the five rows below were all shot down."

"Can I understand that Ryo is mocking me for not growing in height?"

"Nothing!"

Kitagawa Ryo hurried to the vendor and got the last note, waving goodbye to Sakayanagi Arisu:

"Thanks! See you next time."

"Beichuan seems a little anxious tonight."

After Kitagawa Ryo left, Kamuro Masumi, who had been silent, spoke.

"You must be anxious."

Sakayanagi Yusu turned around and yawned:

"I happen to be tired too, let's go back."

"Oh, okay, but I heard there will be a special show later."

"I do not want to see."

Sakayanagi Yusu answered bluntly.

[A little soldier, all alone; after spending his whole life, there is not a single one left. ]
