...
School is over in the afternoon.
Oreki put down all his textbooks as usual and left the class neatly.
He has received a message from Kushida-san on his mobile phone.
It seems that they want to [meet] and [share information].
As expected of Kushida-san, she is better than many classmates in Class A by using her strong affinity and obtaining information.
The task was completed in less than a lunch break.
So the three met again.
...
"I always felt that Horikita Suzune was not in the right state the whole afternoon in class."
"Getting stiffer."
"It's like something happened."
"so."
"What happened when I went to obtain information? Oreki-kun~? (^_-)——"
Incredible.
As the afternoon passed, Kushida Kikyo seemed to become even cuter.
Even when she was talking to him, he felt that the other person's words seemed to have cute emojis.
By the way, is it okay for you to call Horikita Suzune's name directly in front of her face?
At least pretend to call her Horikita-san or something like that.
But this also shows that during the lunch break, Horikita-san's direct showdown when she asked Kushida what she wanted to do by approaching her even though she hated her, and then angered Kushida.
And now it's so wanton.
Kushida probably felt that she had quite important information.
So now I'm a little confused.
From this perspective.
Kushida-san's brain is not very bright.
Although she looks cute, she may be the type who is easily deceived.
Oreki-san also updated his impression of Kushida-san in his mind.
"She encountered a little trouble, but it didn't have much to do with Kushida-san," Oreki said. "And Kushida-san can't help in this matter."
"Oh."
Kushida's cute expression seemed a little restrained, but she quickly shared her information.
As Oreki-san said, it is also customary for freshmen to take a written exam in the second month after they enroll.
The examination papers are all from the previous year.
According to a more experienced senior, the paper for the school's second-month written exam was taken earlier.
It is said that it has not been replaced for 10 years.
And isn't this bad?
Because in the past 10 years, the textbooks have been updated two or three times.
Then take the test papers from so long ago.
It doesn't match the number at all.
So it's stressful.
However, in this school, strength is paramount and points are paramount, so naturally...you can buy anything with your points.
Then you can also buy the test papers from the previous session, right?
Rather, isn't it the school's intention to use the same paper all the time?
so.
This senior from Class D, third grade, actually wanted to sell the test paper to Kushida by saying so much.
The points requested are 50,000.
10,000 points for one subject.
Not very expensive, but not cheap either.
Because there are many buyers to choose from, senior students have all gone through the first-year exams, and the papers have not been replaced, so they all have test papers.
So you can negotiate the price.
"Moreover, buying and selling test papers seems to be a hidden tradition in the school."
"Senior sister and the others came here this way."
"At the same time, when our first-year students are taking written exams, the senior grades are also taking exams at the same time."
"And they are also taking old questions," Kushida-san added.
"Then did you buy these five test papers?" Oreki said.
"No, because you just arranged for me to gather information," Kushida-san said cutely.
From this perspective, Kushida is still a little clever.
If she pays for the test paper, then the test paper belongs to her, and what she wants to do with it is indeed her authority.
But she didn't know Oreki's plan, so she acted rashly to worry about his misunderstanding.
Or what if I don't take her with me?
Oreki proposed 4 million, and then 5% of the income was also 200,000.
200,000 is still very attractive to her.
at the same time.
Although she got the exact information from her senior, who can guarantee that they won't innovate new questions this year?
When she went to find a senior in Class D of the third grade whose class evaluation score was 0, she was laughed at at first.
Because they also know that Class D and Class A are famous among the first-year students.
Class A of the first grade was extremely outstanding, and Class D of the first grade received 0 points in the first month of admission.
These are two things that the school has not had since its founding.
so.
It is still risky to buy a test paper and then tell your classmates that they will take this test paper.
In this case, Kushida is just here to report information.
Instead of taking action on her own.
But this also shows that as long as it is about her affairs, she will consider it quite... comprehensively.
It's so real, little angel Kushida-san.
but.
Her investigation also contained Oreki's 1 million transfer information.
Not many of the seniors have huge amounts of points in their hands.
If you just get it from the seniors in Class D of the third grade, even the seniors in Class A will not have too many huge points.
After all, many places need points to be consumed in this school.
Then some of the school's punishments also include deducting some private points.
So the seniors are not too rich.
According to the information revealed by the senior in Class D of the third grade, only a few individual students have less than 3 million points at most.
Then if necessary, she can continue to explore which seniors have more than one million points in their hands.
Then tell him the information about the seniors who meet these conditions.
"This is not important anymore," Oreki said.
"..." Kushida.
Taken aback.
Fine.
Kushida-san originally wanted to show off but was rejected.
So she kept her cute expression on the spot.
"I'll transfer 100,000 points to you," Oreki instructed. "Think of it as the money to buy the test papers, and then you can decide how much money you need to spend to catch up with the third-year seniors."
"What do you mean?" Kushida winked cutely.
"This school holds special exams every month, so the seniors may need to reveal information," Oreki said. "Especially during [routine] exams."
"The school also specially prepared point cards and the like, which shows that the school also allows students to use other methods."
"And if you have time, you can go to the shopping street and buy a blank point card from the clerk at the electrical appliance store."
"Put in the extra points that don't fit your Class D status to protect yourself," Oreki said.
oh.
By the way, she didn't expect this.
yes.
Today she lent a lot of points to her classmates.
Although the borrowing is scattered.
And if the classmates in the class notice that she still has so many points... it is indeed not a good thing.
What, Kushida-san, you got a chance to make money, but you won't take us with you?
If you say that, it will become very troublesome.
You have to protect yourself.
Kushida-san immediately disappeared.
She began to contact the poor senior student in Class D of the third grade who had stopped at noon.
Get in touch and buy the test paper.
...
"So, what should we do?" Watching Kushida leave, Horikita Suzune looked over.
Kushida pointed out that Horikita's state in class in the afternoon was not normal.
And now even when the three of them met, she was different from usual, not holding a vocabulary book and reading.
At the same time, after the three met, although she was listening, she pinched her hands and bit her lips.
It seemed like she was anxiously waiting for something.
Even a person who is not observant enough can detect her panic.
And Horikita Suzune is usually very awe-inspiring.
So this state is very noticeable.
But this means that Horikita-san, something is missing in your heart.
As long as your relationship with the student council president as brother and sister is exposed, you will collapse instantly.
Oreki thought in his mind.
"Wait for Kushida's move," Oreki-san said.
"Let her buy test papers from the seniors and distribute them to the students in Class D."
"Then it doesn't matter if she makes a little money. She can tell other classes about the school's tacit permission for students to buy test papers privately and collect money. It can be considered as compensation for her."
"Then we wait until around the 14th before taking action," Oreki said.
"It's the 1st now, why does it have to be postponed for so long?"
Horikita Suzune was a little puzzled.
She felt that there was nothing wrong with Oreki's arrangement, but the time it took for the two of them to move was too far.
"Do you think the students in Class D will continue studying now that everyone has received the test papers?" Oreki said calmly.
"No." Horikita said immediately. "If you get the test paper, you will probably memorize it as hard as you can."
"But I don't like this feeling."
She is a scholar, gets good grades, and reaps the benefits of hard work.
But if she got the test paper first and then memorized it.
She wouldn't like this kind of thing.
Because doing so is not a test of the knowledge you have already learned.
"Then, as students in Class D are not studying, you think this is the time when the sale of test papers could be exposed and the school can only re-issue the questions."
"Can Chabashira-sensei remain calm after that?" Oreki added.
Eh?
???
Eh?
!
Horikita Suzune was originally depressed, but at this moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Oreki.
The look in her eyes was shocked.
And Oreki-san said calmly.
"What do you think Chabashira-sensei will do at that time?"
"Or what can be done?"
"Will she still arrange for you to do this or that?"
"Failure will result in dropping out of school, and Class D will drop out half of the class," Oreki said. "And her mentality will collapse."
"Are you a devil?" Horikita Suzune put her left hand on her chest and commented in shock and seriousness.
Is that so?
I am not the devil.
This is just a simple and effective way to hit Chabashira-sensei.
