Ch 117 - Don't wanna Try

"Holy shit, I found it!"

10 minutes later, good news finally came. Yahiko waved right hand towards Katsuragi with his eyes very big, other hand over the belly,  "Katsuragi-san, I am expecting a newborn!"

"???" Katsuragi directly looked over, with a very confused face? 'Did he finally snap?'

"Unoccupied base!"

'Oh....a new place to camp....I see'

But, Katsuragi still felt a little sad inside, why?

"Finally..."

"I can't walk anymore."

"Didn't you hear Yahiko, we finally have a stronghold?!"

"I can't walk anymore...."

"Fuck, this bot just crashed!"

Even though, people are still muttering under other people's noses, Class A couldn't help but take deep breaths....then sighed in relief.

'At first, I didn't think it was anything, but as more and more strongholds were found, they were all occupied by Class C.

'We also began to feel a sense of urgency in our hearts....' Thoughts of Class A.

Therefore, an empty base is of great significance.

Because they finally have a place to make camp, it means.... have their own roots.

Even if....just temporary.

"Let's...hah....rest first...."

"K-Katuragi-san!"

"I am okay, just give a second" Katsuragi is also quite tired, he was even suffering mentally, but now he tried to just be calm.

'My nerves have also been tense for such a long time.... I am a human being too, okay?'

"I am just thinking but Class C is too awesome, right?" As soon as Katsuragi sat down, many people opened their lips, with complicated expressions.

As soon as the words came out, Katsuragi's face....yeah, it was all blown to dust.

Can't even breathe, without getting ridiculed....Just started doubting Katsuragi's power again....

The reason why they are not convinced....is because, there is a more outstanding person beside him, Sakayanagi Arisu.

However, Class C's performance this time was really unexpected.

A defect actually got ahead of Class A's moves every time.....

'Doesn't this mean that the opponent is stronger than our Leader, Katsuragi-san?...'

Such a person would be really disturbing, if he was not found out.

"Class C....they are probably going to win, right?"

"Yeah, It's not hard to say.....Class C have occupied quite a few strongholds."

"1 base can earn 3 points a day..."

"C must have occupied at least 7 strongholds..."

"T-There could be even more, we didn't find...."

"I will change school after this exam...."

"Katsuragi's garden is just too childish for my taste..."

"Only gave us boxes to play with...."

"Hey, I also played with clay!"

"21 points a day!"

"Stop this, I don't want to hear it!"

"But, we gotta accept the reality, man..."

"Class C's bonus score will be more than 140 points...."

"This data is really scary!"

"Yahiko, let's get out of here!" Katsuragi heard enough, then stood up violently, using his deep voice, "Go and occupy the nearby strongholds!"

'I couldn't just let Class C play around too much.... even though, I failed in  terms of occupation points.

But, at the very least, we must find out the leader of Class C!'

The opponent has been frantically wild on the island....they definitely, not have enough time to join up with the rest.

As long as that creep is found, no matter how many bonus points C has, it will just be fucking useless!

....If the team leader is identified, Katsuragi's school will prevail!

'Now, lick my ass, you bastard!' His confidence is now going out of this world.

As a student of Class A, Katsuragi has the pride of being a top student.

Not allowed to be defeated by C....

Katsuragi won't let this felon-

"M-Master, are you still looking? Or is there still a b-base for us to occupy?"

Yahiko couldn't help but ask shakily, holding both his knees.

'I searched this area for a very long time and finally occupied it. Got super lucky.

But, are there really any bases left, not occupied by Class C? I am not feeling very hopeful...'  Yahiko felt tired.

"....." Katsuragi was forced to remain silent, because he didn't know either.

'I was very confident, but within just two or three hours after landing on the island, my pride was brutally shattered.....'

'Sakayanagi....Is this why you like that boy, Hikigaya Hachiman?'

"Man, what a dog...."

"Yeah, I love that fluffy cat in the girls dorm, even more now!"

Only, It's just that we can't stop here....

Living on the boat, Katsuragi was one step ahead, drawing and writing every terrain on the island.

'And, then after teacher declared rules of the competition, I was even more ecstatic...'

'The first time, I entered inside...found a possible stronghold.'

In fact, his judgment was mostly correct.

Along the way, most of the places where Katsuragi judged could be strongholds.... had electric machines.

The problem, however....all were swiped.

Every time, it's your Class C!

'After finally getting rid of the dark shadow of Class C, I finally have my own home.'

This made Katsuragi and the students of Class A regain their confidence and began to expand around, hoping to occupy more strongholds.

However, when they spread out...

They were really disappointed to find that all the nearby locations had been occupied by Class C.

Their own stronghold is like an isolated part of the Deserted Island, just surrounded by Class C's....

"Keep looking!" Katsuragi, now had a really dark face, said in a grumpy voice, "We are not looking for a stronghold this time, but a person!"

He knew very well....could never be led by others.

Many strongholds were gone, and their class had lost it's previous advantage, and was already at a huge S points loss due to the mistake of both Sakayanagi and Yahiko.

If they don't work hard, Class C will just rise again.

We could even fall down in this exam.

This kind of horrible result is the last thing, Katsuragi wanted to see!

'So, I had to change my strategy.'

"But how to find him?" Yahiko asked, with a grimace, very defeated right now, "We don't even know who that  person is?!"

"Katsuragi, you should listen to Yahiko!"

"It's really better to just find a stronghold!"

"I don't want to look for ghosts!"

People have already started to complain, even before Katsuragi was able to open his mouth.

'I don't even want to try....'

Behind the Scenes!

Hachiman was feeling weird, and he felt like time was good enough to complain at this point, "Author-san, it's been a couple of Chapters since I got a decent amount of story time. Weren't you creating this Fanfic regarding my life?"

".....Yeah"

"Eh...? What's up with that kind of tone? Are you not feeling good?" 

"Maybe....I don't know...how should I feel?"

???

For some reason, Hachiman was forced to remember the scenes when he got depressed about knowing probable number of his class points getting reduced. 

And then, Sakayanagi came around in the cafeteria to laugh at his misery. 

"...WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK?! These views...why are there so down?! Last I checked it was near 1 M and oh shit, look at that 36 Top Fans?! What on earth happened while I was gone?"

".....Yeah, awful things..."

"Now I understand why you feel so down...Did you remove this book?"

"....." 

Hachiman realised he just struck a nerve. 

"It's not okay for you to feel so down, because I need to survive until Yukinoshita comes around?!"

"Yeah....."

"Haha....Tell me is there anything I can do to provide help? But don't expect much, I am not good at comforting people..."

"I know....but how should I get energetic again? Do you got any advice?"

"???" 

"When I felt low, I decided on threatening Sakayanagi to death, but it obviously doesn't going to work here....So, is there anything you want from me?"

"Vote?"

"....Oh....you feel down because of numbers, I got it! That's very easy to solve it, Author-san!"

"Really? Is there still hope left for me?"

"Of course, I even found a lost child named Matsushita hiding her powers in the class. So, please don't get afraid...." 

"You mean Chiaki, sex friend of my previous book....?"

"Don't mention that guy's name who got his virginity removed....but if there are people out there who love me," Hachiman's eyes now looked directly above deep into the sky, trying to pierce through far away. 

Cleaning his throat. 

"....I humbly request my fans to vote this story with your Power Stone's and increase our Top Fans. I know Author-san made a stupid decision, but it only shows that he is also a human like me and inevitable of making errors...."

"So, can you please Vote my book and help Author-san in this bad time of his life?"

"Thanks in advance.....bloody hell it's so difficult and huge pressure....You better make up for it by including me in the next chapters, and posting daily!"

"Of course, I am forever grateful for everyone supporting me and continuously voting to help my writing..." ❣️🎉
