Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e-Volume 15.5, Chapter 5: Intro - A Treasure Hunt Game Filled With Women Troubles

There were only three days of vacation remaining on board the cruise ship.

The days were too intense and passed by extremely quickly.

Early in the morning, just as everyone was beginning to regret that their time on this cruise ship was coming to an end, the school sent out an email to all the students at once. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

“Today at 10am, we will hold a treasure hunt game? What’s this?”

We all saw the unfamiliar word ‘game’ in the email and reread it carefully at the same time.

“Treasure Hunt Game”

* A bonus game free for anyone to participate

* Conditions for participation: Minimum of one person of any gender and 10,000 private points are required.

* Commencement date: Today, August 8th

* A more detailed explanation will be provided at the venue (must arrive at the 5th floor by 10am)

* You may choose not to participate after receiving the explanation.

“For a second I thought it was gonna be a special exam, but that couldn’t be, right? Doesn’t ‘free for anyone to participate’ sound interesting?”

We were all free to take part and on top of that, the only risk to each individual was the 10,000 point participation fee.

The details were unknown at this time, but since it was called a treasure hunt, it was probably safe to assume that there would be a big payoff beyond the participation fee. If you could find the treasure you could get private points; I was expecting the details to be simple.

For someone who was always short of money like me, if there was a chance to earn a temporary bonus, it was a good idea to be proactive and participate. The fact that only 10,000 points were required to take part also seemed reasonable.

Miyamoto and Hondō naturally seemed to be participating and, after finishing their meal, started talking about going together. I was thinking of inviting Akito to join me too…

“Don’t worry about me, go have fun…”

Lying on the bed, Akito was breathing a little sluggishly. He had a fever, so he was going to sleep instead.

Perhaps it was because he was too enthusiastic at the private pool yesterday.

“If it weren’t for the fact that we couldn’t bring our personal belongings, I would’ve lent you a game console.”

“There’s no way I’d feel like playing a game in this state…” f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

With a somewhat dumbfounded expression, Akito nuzzled his face into the pillow.

With Akito still lying in bed, we finished a meal and after spending a leisurely time in the room until about 9:50, the three of us decided to leave Akito behind and head for the venue while feeling somewhat sorry for him.
