Room 42

This is the overall forty-third chapter of You-Zitsu manga series.

Summary
The next morning, Kiyotaka meets up with Sakura, who had asked him to meet on the deck again. She tells him that her group's exam, the Cow group, had ended early. Sakura feared that she had made a mistake, but he reassures her, explaining that this is due to the actions of another student. When he asks her if she was the VIP of their group, Sakura denies this, although she admits she's not sure about Ike or Sudō. Kiyotaka then confirms with Sakura if the Class A students in her group also refused to participate in the discussions. Kiyotaka ponders inwardly that if it's not Class A, then the traitor is most likely Class C. On the other hand, he wonders if Ryūen's strategy was breaking any of the rules, though as the school withholds some details about the exam rules, he can't be sure. Also, except for Kōenji, only one traitor had appeared so far, making Kiyotaka conclude tha even Ryūen didn't know the identities of the other VIPs yet. Once their conversation is over, he says goodbye to Sakura and reminds her that she can call him if she needs anything.

After that little meeting, Kiyotaka began to descend to the lower levels of the ship. Although it was a prohibited area for students, their access was not blocked. He pulls his phone out and notes that he had no signal from down there, so no one down there could send messages or make calls. After observing the place a bit, Kiyotaka notes that all the pieces were in place, and that all he had to do was execute his plan. He then contacted Hirata, who in turn asked Karuizawa to meet at the lower level. He was sure that since Hirata was the one to ask, she would accept, since even though she wanted to end her relationship, she still needed someone to protect her.

After going back up, Kiyotaka contacts Hirata. The latter sends him a message saying that Karuizawa will go to the lower levels of the cruise ship at 4 PM and also sends him Manabe's contact information. He thinks what he's going to do is risky, but even if Karuizawa were to 'break' in the process, everything should be fine as long as Hirata doesn't find out. Kiyotaka begins to message Manabe anonymously. She demands to know who he is, and he replies that he is just someone who hates the same person as her. He then explains her that the reason he contacted her was to offer her some crucial information about Karuizawa.
