Following this meeting, The Declaration of Forest Principle such as Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and Agenda 21 was agreed.

Teacher's Comment

You're right. It's one of the important meeting held where each country present enthusiastically discuss about making efforts for earth's environment. Other than two of the name that Himeji-san give in your answer, it's also called as the Rio Summit. It will be nice if you also remember it.

Tsuchiya Kouta's answer

It's hard to explain in a single word.

Teacher's Comment

I understand. I'll hear your answer throughly later in the staff room.

Teacher's Comment

Rather than the environment, shall we think about whether you could graduate or not.

"Uwaah... somehow it become something big isn't it?"

"You're right... Even the academy side need to invest quite a bit now that it become like this...."

The following day, when peeking on class 3F on the new school building that has been turned into haunted house, I was genuinely surprised. Whether the dim atmosphere or the construction on the exterior, I didn't think they will make it elaborately like this.

"The third year students side is also quite serious aren't they? Could it be because those guy also want to stop screwing around at least on the last day of the summer short course?"

As expected, even Yuuji raise his voice in amazement as if he didn't think the academy side's support and the third years will went this far building the construction.

"T-they didn't have to work this hard though...."

"T-that's right isn't it? It's too much right?"

Looking at the tournament that manage to build up the atmosphere perfectly, Himeji-san and Minami put a file in front of their faces. For people who dislike these kind of scary things, there's nothing worse than seeing this isn't it?

"Yuuji, we're supposed to meet on the old school building aren't we?"

"Aa. We're supposed to prepare separately, new school building class 3F for the third years and old school building class 3F for us. When it's time to start, the first group will start to enter the new school building in order, is the arrangement we agreed on earlier.

A fireproof shutter is pulled down to cover the corridor connecting the new and old school building, so although the atmosphere is conveyed to us, we can't check the situation over there. Surely, inside there, the Takanatsu pair and the other third years are licking their lips while preparing to scare us.

".....The preparation for the cameras are also already done."

Mutsullini shows us the big bag that he carries with him. It seems there's several camera stuffed inside and we're supposed to bring those cameras with us when entering. It's for proof of us passing through the checkpoint and prevent us from cheating, and also to prevent the people waiting from being bored and for several other reasons, it's also going be used as camera.... Come to think of it, I was pretty surprised that the third years don't raise any objection. I somehow thought the third years are going to say "the camera will make everything known beforehand and we can't surprise you anymore so it's rejected!", but they're unexpectedly agreed to our request without any objection. Could it be because they are very confident that they'll succeed?

"Our preparation is preparing for the cameras and monitors and then, making the pairing up combination isn't it?"

"Ah, that's right. We haven't decided on the pairing up have we?"

According to the rules, basically there's going to be two people in one group. This seems to be an arrangement to make the test of courage to still be liven up even if there's a person or two that isn't scared about things like that even a little bit. Now that the situation has change into a match against the third years, to win, the theory should be to pair up people who isn't scared about things like this together, but....

Well, for the pair up, since this is a rare chance, let's make a boy-girl pair as much as possible. It should be more lively that way isn't it?"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

This is an unexpected proposal from someone who cares about winning like this guy.

"It's okay isn't it. I only wanted to escape from iron man's extra lesson full course from hell. The third years are also the one doing the preparation for this test of courage. Just taking the preparation and clean up for athletic or two isn't that big of a problem isn't it?"

"But, didn't Yuuji and Akihisa already promised to Tokonatsu duo to personally have a match with them?"

"That was just to stir them up back then. Now that we have succeed in pushing the troublesome construction tasks to them, there's no problem at all even if we don't take that challenge."

I nodded as if agreeing with his words.

"Then, your real intention is?"

"As a revenge for getting coerced by Shouko to pair up with her, I plan to drag everyone into this."

Un. It's generally just like what I thought.

Well, it doesn't matter. In the first place, making a boy-girl pair is the main principle in a test of courage, and in this kind of event, I will also be happier with a girl instead of a boy. Now all I need to do is finding someone to pair with, but.... it will be hard won't it?

There's three girls in our class, Himeji-san, Minami, and Hideyoshi.

It's quite a high hurdle, but maybe I should invite Himeji-san? Uuunnn.... Himeji-san is a kind person so she might accept when I invite her, but I wonder if that's okay? Even from my point of view, but unlike Yuuji, whether it's the strength to protect others, or giving giving some sense of security, I'm overwhelmingly lacking in those points. Frankly speaking, I'm unreliable. For Himeji-san who hate ghosts and already frightened even know, to pair up with me is too pitiable.

Then, how about asking Minami? She's quite frightened just like Himeji-san, but if it's Minami, I somehow get the feeling that she would be fine even if I'm this unreliable. Furthermore, if it's Minami, it should be more comfortable to be with. That's including the problem of accidental body contact. But, the problem is -

[Kill.... I'm gonna kill any pig who pair up with onee-sama...]

Shimizu-san who keep uttering those curses in small voice from a place that I can only see. If I unskillfully said this, my life would probably be exposed to danger in an instant won't it? I'm not that much of an eccentric who would invite a real thrill for the sake of enjoying a man-made one.

That means, it's Hideyoshi after all isn't it?

"What is it Akihisa? Is there something on my face or something?"

Could it be because there's a lot of ghosts on the story for drama plays, right now there's no trace of fear at all. Let's ask Hideyoshi here -

[Sugawa-kaichou, we found a heretic proposing to pair up with Kinoshita.]

[Bring him away.]

[Ha. In what way should he be cooked?]

[Fingernail full course.]

[Thank you for the order.]

It's no good. It will be hard to open pull-tab if my nails are gone completely.

If that's so.....yare yare, there's no other way isn't it?

"Oi, Mutsullini."

".......?"

"For the test of courage, will you attend together with me?"

"........!?(*shake shake shake*)"

When I call out to Mutsullini like that, he vigorously jumped back. Mu. What's with that reaction?

"A-Akihisa-kun!? Why are you choosing Tsuchiya-kun among everyone in here!?"

"That's right Aki! Leaving aside Kinoshita, you have an interest toward Tsuchiya too!?"

"Eh? But, if I invite Yuuji, I will feel bad toward Kirishima-san won't I?"

"Among these bunch here, you don't have other choice beside me and Mutsullini!?"

"....Akihisa.... even just the feeling is already bothersome..."

"Your line of thought is unreadable just like always..."

It seems they means to not hurt my feeling in various ways, but those were some cruel words alright.

"Onee-sama! If it's for your pair during the test of courage, Miharu volunteered herself!"

Could it be because she's relieved from me inviting Mutsullini, after she hide away the various stationery that she was holding, Shimizu-san jumped toward Minami. If I invited Minami, those various stationeries which emanate silver glows will surely be directed toward me isn't it? That was close....

"M-Miharu!? Wait a minute!? Sakamoto also said it just now didn't he, that it will be boy-girl pair!? I can't pair up with you you know!"

"No problem! As long as onee-sama has this chest that could be thought as the water surface of a dried-up lake, things such as gender difference, it doesn't exist even if there is one."

That remark, if it was me, at the instant that remark get out of my mouth, around 3 or 4 of my ribs are going to be gone won't it?

"Geez! Let me go, Miharu! I don't have any intention to pair up with you - "

A dangerous smile surface on Minami's face, who tried to run away from Shimizu-san, when she look at my face. This is bad! I've got a premonition of getting caught up, which means getting my whole body pierced by those stationeries that emit silvery glows!

"Please, Mutsullini! Pair up with mugeeehhh!?"

"Sorry about that, Miharu. Actually, I already paired up with Aki. That's why, invite me again next time?"

My cervical vertebrae is grasped by Minami. The choice I got right now is, being killed by Minami right now for rejecting her or getting killed later by Shimizu-san for accepting it.

"But, onee-sama! If you're going with that pig - "

"Miharu. You know that I really hate breaking a promise right? Even so, are you still going to say those words?"

When Minami says that, Shimizu-san vexedly bit her lower lip while murmured.

"....I understand, onee-sama. If it's like that then I'm going to withdraw from this place."

"Un. Thank you for your understanding, Miharu."

"But, in the slim chance that this pig become unable to attend, onee-sama with Miharu - "

"Sorry Miharu. At that time, I have a plan to have a stomachache."

"Onee-sama is so colddd!"

Being told like that by Minami, Shimizu-san ran away while overflowing with tears.

Plan to have stomachache...., what an original way of refusing something.

"T-that's the situation, so Aki, please take care of me?"

Even if you said please take care of me, it's not like I have any other choice with my vital spot being grabbed....

"But, Minami, is it okay for your partner to be me?"

"Y-you don't have to be so reserved about it. Aki is enough for me you know. You might be a little unreliable, but I'm not afraid of that kind of made-up things at all. Furthermore, it's not like you have any hope of getting any other par - "

"Are you sure it's okay Minami? I'm human you know?"

"....That misunderstanding, I'm absolutely going to clear it today."

[Yoshii Akihisa.....! I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill kill kill kill kill kill.....!!]

Suddenly out of nowhere, a message from hell can be heard.

Probably when the sun set today, my life going to come to an end won't it.

[Wait a minute Shimizu-san. Let's first observe the situation.]

[ - You are....A class's Kubou Toshimitsu-kun right? Do you have any business with Miharu?]

[Let's cooperate Shimizu-san. Our interest probably coincide.]

[....It seems to be not a bad proposition even for Miharu.]

What is that? That strange chill on my back. I get the feeling as if some grave situation is developing in some unknown place.

"M-Minami-chan's not fair! Even I want with Akihisa-kun"

"Uuh....Sorry, Mizuki.... But, if you go together with Aki, you have to expose your summon beast to Aki at the check point you know?"

"Hau...! T-that's.....!"

Himeji-san make a really troubled face. Is that so. If I went with Himeji-san, that kind of embarrassing experience is going to be coerced in my mind won't it? That was close.

"Well, the pairing up problem is more or less decided already so we can just leave the details for later right? What's important is to make the other participants enjoy this."

Pan pan! Yuuji said that while clapping his hand.

"? What's the matter Yuuji? Prioritizing other people is very unlike you."

"It's because we're the one planning this test of courage. Our enjoyment is low priority. To entertain everyone first is the natural thing isn't it?"

"Your real intention is?"

"Since I have to pair up with Shouko, I want to send the other to clear this so I won't have to participate too."

Un. A plain and simple reason that even I can understand.

"Now then, since we have to decide to order of breaking in, quit chattering and let's hurry to the assembly place."

"Ah, un. The headquarter is our class F right?"

"Aa. I also prepared class E for stand-by room though. Just as expected, these number of people won't fit in just class F alone."

The participants are the students of class F who are obligated to attend supplementary class numbering 50 peoples, and the volunteers who attended summer short course numbering 100 peoples. It's more or less half of the students in our school year.

"Mutsullini. How's the monitor preparation going?"

"....No problem. The LCD display from A class has been brought here."

"Yosh. Well then, let's enjoy this reminder of summer event comfortably."

"You're right. There's no severe punishment this time too, so let's enjoy this."

"Umu. If it's only on the level of cleaning up after athletic festival, it's nothing compared to everything that we've experience up until now."

"I'm actually, not enjoying this very much...."

"A-as for me, well, since I get to make Aki as my shield, I guess I can enjoy it a little bit."

".....I'm looking forward to various good snapshot."

Inside the school building that suddenly become lively once again, we walk into the unexpected festivities holding each of our own thought.

<Ne, ne.... that nook over there, isn't it suspicious.....?>

<Y-you're right.... It feels like something gonna come out from there isn't it?.....>

From the monitor that Mutsullini installed, the voice and image of the B class boy-girl pair that go out first as the vanguard is flowing out. The first place we head out to is the checkpoint of B class that's in charge with making things. The class is turned into the street of old Edo era motif. Looking at that dim picture that's purposely have its light intensity constricted for this event, there's enough thrill in it even for the people that only look through the camera.

[W-well then, I'll be going first...]

[Un....]

On the camera, a surrounding centering on a corner that bend suspiciously is projected. The two people holding the camera carefully proceed to that place while taking a vigilant attitude.

"M-Minami-chan.... on that shade, isn't there something over there?"

"I-i-i-it's just your imagination Mizuki. There's nothing projected at all."

Himeji-san and Minami are looking at the monitor from afar with their hand clasped together. If you're that scared, it would be better to just not watch it though, is what I thought, but when thinking that we might also go there, there's no way they're not watching this aren't they?

[I'm going...!!]

[Un...!]

The camera is projecting the other side of the corner. Is there something there...?

When looking at it while holding fear from anticipation, the camera only projected a road continuing ahead.

"G-Geez. There's nothing at all isn't it...?"

"Thank God..... We can safely proceed there can't we?"

On the instant Minami and Himeji-san heave a sigh of relief -

[ [Gyaaaa....!!] ]

""Kyaaa....!!""

From the other side of the camera, a loud screams reverberates. Hearing that, Himeji-san and Minami also raise a scream simultaneously. Even though there's nothing caught in the camera, to get surprised just from a scream, they're really don't like scary things at all don't they?

".....Fail."

Mutsullini muttered while point at the equipment. The digital meter with the word "camera 1" written under it jump up at once and indicate that the voice level has far exceed the fail red line mark.

".....???"

By the way, although a girl just like Himeji-san and Minami, Kirishima-san repeatedly alternate her gaze toward the monitor and Himeji-san and the other while tilting her head as if she doesn't understand what they're scared about.

"Uuunn... for the advance squad to get eliminated in the very first corner... the other side are really serious aren't they?"

"Aren't they? Just expected of the third years."

Preparing 5 set of cameras, we have several group enter together with a delay between their entrance, but even before the second group manage to enter, the first group has suddenly already lost consciousness. This is beyond our expectation.

"If it's like this we won't find out what's going on that first corner right?"

"If it's only this much information, the other guy will needlessly become too alert instead and foster their fear even more won't they?"

The only girl in the F class who has resistance toward ghost story, Hideyoshi, nod her head in agreement.

"....The second group has already started."

Mutsulini point his finger at the monitor with number "2" written below it. In those, the figure of class A's boy-girl pair advancing is being projected.

"It will be nice if this time what the other side is doing can be clearly projected isn't it?"

"You're right.."

This is a contest after all, also for the frightened Himeji-san and Minami, some information will really help. I won't hope for them to clear all the way until B class, but at least some information about what will come out will really help.

"No, that will be hard won't it?"

"Eh? Yuuji, what do you mean by - "

When I tried to confirm what he meant since his manner of speaking indicate that he knows something,

<<Hyaaa-!?>>

""Kyaaa-!!""

Just after commencing, a scream can be heard again from the other side of the camera.

".....Fail"

This time a little bit different from earlier, it's at the place where the corner start to enter your field of vision. To come at us by changing the place, the other side is quite good.

<A-a blood-stained neck suddenly appear through the wall...>
