It was on the 10th day of the uninhabited island exam
This morning, I went to the other tent nearby.
I confird that the owner was away before reaching for the backpack inside.
I'm not trying to steal anything. I just want to confirm sothing.
And I have to look at what's inside to do so.
But I don't really want to look. It was a contradiction.
I grabbed the backpack with so hesitation.
«It's lighter than I expected...»
Seeing how light it was made even more confident and I checked the content without any lingering feelings.
Clothing, stuff for personal hygiene, food——and a single 500ml bottle of water.
«I knew it.»
As my doubt grew into conviction, the owner of the backpack ca back, Ayanokouji.
«What are you doing?»
«!!»
His sudden call startled so much I think I jumped from the ground.
«Did you look at my tablet? Or is there sothing else you wanted?»
«'Course not! I just wanted to... to check if it really was fair, just that.»
I don't want to be mistaken for a thief so I left the backpack.
Anyway, now that I've confird it, I need to ask him this directly.
«There's just a single bottle of drinking water left in your backpack. How the hell is that you having plenty of it, huh?»
This guy wanted to make a fair trade with yesterday.
He wanted to hand over 2 bottles of water for just so rations.
I lost my cool and couldn't think then since I wanted water so badly, and he led into it....
He lied to .
He never had plenty of water and helped since I was dehydrated.
«You wanted to owe you, right? That's why you helped ?»
If so, that's way too naive of him. I need to make him realise that.
Or so I thought...
«If you haven't checked my backpack, you would never have known though.»
«Uh.»
Obviously. If I never went to confirm it, I wouldn't have known that he was lacking water too.
«In other words, it was supposed to be a fair trade no matter what the truth may be.»
So that's why I should just spit out a honest 'Thank you'? I'll never do that even if soone forced my mouth open.
Like hell I want to.
«I don't think I can accept that... alright. You get nothing in return then.»
Fine with you? I asked just in case.
«Would you even give anything even if you owed sothing?»
«No way.»
I answered in a blink, no thoughts needed.
There is no reason to it.
Why, I just hate this guy.
