The "Lucky Dice" still had two effects left.
Although Kaoru Mitoma didn't hold much hope for such elusive luck, having it was still better than nothing.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he tossed the dice into the air and watched as it landed on the ground, showing three dots on the top face.
[This judgment condition is now in effect. The effect of the "Lucky Dice" is activated immediately!]
[Your luck has tripled!]
Kaoru Mitoma retrieved the dice and then projected the "Marauder's Map" onto the wall.
In his eyes, the entire cruise ship became completely transparent, with everyone's movements displayed on the map.
Naturally, the focus was on the fourth floor, where the girls' rooms were located.
At this moment, there were still over a dozen girls remaining in their rooms.
However, the "Marauder's Map" didn't provide information about each target, which made Kaoru Mitoma frown slightly.
He quickly recalled the information Kushida had revealed—only one person was alone in their room—and immediately locked onto a target.
"I should have asked about the room beforehand," Kaoru Mitoma sighed in relief, then showed a strange expression.
"But asking would have made it even weirder."
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Kushida had seemed a bit off earlier.
Just as Kaoru Mitoma was about to put away the Marauder's Map, he noticed that the target seemed to be sneaking out of their room. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Karuizawa rubbed her stomach.
She hadn't eaten a single thing since waking up.
She was supposed to be in the dining hall two hours ago, enjoying breakfast with her friends.
However, thinking about what had happened over the past few days, Karuizawa suddenly felt very resistant to going out.
Of course, she didn't plan to stay in her room forever, but she wanted to avoid certain people.
It was simple: if she could avoid the peak dining hours, she might also be able to avoid Manabe Shiho and her group.
With this in mind, Karuizawa had refused to go out with Matsushita Chiaki and the others today, pretending to have a stomachache.
So, Karuizawa had spent the past two hours alone in her room.
There shouldn't be anyone in the dining hall now, right?
Karuizawa decided to make it quick.
She also considered that there might not be much breakfast left, so she could head to the Western restaurant or the dessert shop for a treat, then bring back some snacks to last until evening.
She heard that the ship would return tonight, and they would probably be back at school by tomorrow morning.
Thinking about going back soon, Karuizawa felt much more at ease.
It wasn't like they could come to her class to grab her.
Speaking of which, Karuizawa felt indignant again.
Not only was her boyfriend, Hirata Yosuke was completely useless, but even a boy from Class A bullying her.
He talked a big game, but his eyes were always fixed on her chest and in the end, she even let him touch her.
This was the first time she had been assaulted by a boy.
Karuizawa felt her cheeks burning.
What on earth had she been thinking at that time?
Before this, the most intimate contact she had with a boy was holding hands.
To pretend they were a couple, she deliberately held hands with Hirata Yosuke a few times in public.
It must have been because she was too confused at the time.
The more Kei Karuizawa thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
She had thought having a boyfriend would help solve her problems, but in the end, it was of no use at all.
Karuizawa subconsciously touched her abdomen.
The hideous scar could still be felt through her uniform.
She didn't want to encounter anything like that again.
Absolutely not a second time.
No matter what it took, Karuizawa didn't want to experience that feeling of helplessness again.
Clearly, she couldn't dwell on these messy thoughts anymore.
She needed to fill her stomach quickly!
Karuizawa hurriedly left her room and walked down the long hallway.
Just as she reached the elevator, the doors slowly opened, and she couldn't help but freeze.
Seeing her standing at the door, Shiho Manabe inside the elevator was equally stunned.
The first to react was Karuizawa, who immediately turned and ran without looking back.
"Wait, why are you running?!" Manabe shouted angrily, chasing after her.
"Saki, Nanami, hurry up and catch her!"
The two girls behind her immediately sprang into action, like lionesses on the hunt, quickly surrounding Karuizawa.
"What do you want? I'm warning you, if you dare lay a hand on me, I won't let you off!" Karuizawa glared at Manabe, her voice fierce but her heart trembling.
"Ha, you're so arrogant. It's clearly your fault, isn't it?" Manabe sneered. "I was just asking you nicely in the group earlier, and you ended up throwing my phone on the ground. You're really something!"
During the first group discussion, Manabe had confronted Karuizawa, asking if she had bumped into someone.
Moreover, Manabe had even shown her a photo on her phone, making Karuizawa clearly see the face of Rika Morofuji.
Unexpectedly, Karuizawa had reacted violently, throwing her phone away and insisting she didn't know the person at all.
"It has nothing to do with me. It's always been you guys interrogating me, right?"
Facing the hostile gazes of the group, Karuizawa instinctively wanted to flee, but Manabe's hand clamped down on her shoulder, holding her in place.
"Tch, stop pretending, Karuizawa," Manabe leaned in close, her expression dark. "If you think you're so great, why don't we settle this?"
"W-what?" Karuizawa's body stiffened, her mind going blank, her thoughts nearly freezing and her expression turning rigid.
Manabe said with dissatisfaction, "What else? Since you don't want to apologize, we have no choice but to make you kneel, right?"
"No!" Karuizawa desperately tried to think of a way to escape.
"The school would never allow you to hit me. I'll report this to the teacher immediately!"
Manabe glanced at the two girls beside her, and one of them pointed to the surveillance camera above.
"Hmph, what a coward," Manabe released Karuizawa's shoulder.
Seeing this, Karuizawa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, though her legs felt weak, as if she could barely stand.
However, before she could catch her breath, Manabe Shiho spoke up again, "But you reminded me that this kind of thing should be left to the teacher to handle. Only the teacher and the student council can deal with someone like you."
With that, Manabe forcibly pulled Karuizawa towards the emergency stairwell next to them.
"W-Wait, where are you taking me?"
"Of course, to Sakagami-sensei room, so he can deal with you!"
As Karuizawa began to struggle, Manabe couldn't hold onto her wrist and in a moment of desperation, grabbed her high ponytail from behind, while also calling out to her companions nearby.
"Saki, help me hold her down!"
Karuizawa was in pain.
Anyone would feel extreme discomfort if their hair was pulled, let alone being held down by several people and forcibly dragged towards a room on the third floor.
