Renji...
Renji Okabe was in first place with 250 echo points.
Even if he completed all the tasks, earning that amount of points is impossible.
Following this, I saw...
Hayato Fujimoro...
Hayato was in second place. He had a total of 110 points, setting a total difference of 140 points. Hayato was with me all the time, so his points were reasonable enough.
But Renji...
How can he get so many points in such a short time?
Then I finally saw a search button at the top.
I typed my name, Itsuki Nakamura, desperately.
I saw I am currently in the 282nd place.
Seems like I'm not quite far from 280.
I can easily get into the top 280.
Then I tried to search Shuko's name, but before searching, a notification came.
A student named Shuko Mizuno has been eliminated for not completing the special task.
I stared at the notification.
But then I smiled.
I didn't cry. Some would cry, but I am not one of them.
I never saw Shuko as my lover. I just used her to get some information.
Then a question remains:
Did I lie to Kaito about revival?
Technically, no. This revival is my power. Before my birth, two of my siblings died during birth. So, a day ago, my father did a ritual.
In the ritual, my father died. But it gave me a power:
Revival... if someone tries to murder me, the time will always go back. But I can use it only two times. I already used it one time. So I can do it again.
But it has a cost: after revival, I need to kill someone. If I don't kill someone in 30 days, I will permanently die. That's why I used Shuko to kill Ryuchi.
Actually, Shuko didn't commit suicide. It was me. I killed her. But everyone thought it was a suicide.
Then, when Takumi tried to kill me, why didn't the time go back?
It was all my plan to kill Ryuchi. Ryuchi also had some memory of the future. But he thought I was weak like before; it was his mistake.
And the last time my mistake was, I trusted Ryuchi.
Then I searched one last name...
Kaito Arisawa.
His position is 279th.
Well, Kaito...
Kaito comes from a good and rich family, but he is a totally different kid in school.
He was quiet and weak.
But after his friendship with me, he had changed a lot.
He is becoming a threat to me. I need to do something about him.
"Oiiii~~~ Itsuki. Dinner is ready!! Get out of the tent!"
"Coming!"
I closed my tablet and got out of the tent.
I checked the time on my wristband: 8:00 pm. I was in my tent for at least an hour.
"Oi! Itsuki, look what I've cooked."
I looked; he had cooked some rice and the meat we found.
"Where did you get the rice?"
"I ordered it."
"Umm... Hayato, mind if I ask something?"
"Yeah, just ask."
"Last time we only ate meat which was on the rod."
"Yeah! Why are you telling me this?"
"Now. How the hell are we going to eat rice??"
".... I didn't think that."
"Why the hell didn't you think about that? Are you mentally unstable?"
"Calm down, Itsuki, let me check the shop."
I just stood there, a bit angry. Then Hayato shouted,
"Itsuki, look! Two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks only cost 20 echo points. It seems small! It's 200 yen!!"
"Uhhh... Itsuki, calm down. I have more than enough echo points to pay."
Saying this, Hayato ordered the things.
Then I said, waiting for the things,
I saw the cat still sitting patiently.
Then the package finally arrived.
Hayato opened it.
Then he took a bowl, served the rice and meat, and gave it to me.
I looked at the bowl.
"Hayato, are you serious right now? We are in the middle of a rainforest."
"Yeah. Why?"
"Why does the rice still have so much water? Learn to cook first."
There was 80% water and 20% rice.
"Umm. It's my first time..."
"Uhh. Okay, no problem. But I'm not eating it."
"Fine..."
Then I ate the meat.
Hayato was eating. He gave some meat to the cat while eating.
"Hayato, how much meat do we still have?"
"I cooked everything. It would go bad anyway."
"Yeah, you're right about this one thing."
Then, after eating,
Hayato's wristband buzzed.
He got a special task, and the task was...
