Episode 31 Forest Training Camp with Childhood Friend

The next day.

“Kotoha, training camp!”

I shouted with all my soul.

Today is the forest training camp. There may be many troublesome things to do, but if I can spend time with Kotoha, such depression will be blown away!

I’m sure she’s in an uplifting mood. I thought so and spoke to her.

“…Tsuzuri-kun, you’re so annoying in the morning.”

Contrary to me, Kotoha’s tension was quite low when she woke up from sleep.

“What’s wrong with you, Kotoha?”

I wonder if she’s feeling sick or something, just in case I ask.

“……munya……why are you up so early ……”

I was complaining about the time I woke up in a whisper. Oh, is Kotoha weak in the morning?

“Don’t say that. Let’s have some fun while we’re at it.”

It’s the long-awaited forest training camp.

Even though I tried to put her in a good mood, Kotoha was still sleepy or dissatisfied,…….

“Mmm…, if I’m going to go, I want to be alone with Tsuzuri-kun…”

Hmm? For a moment, my thoughts stopped. Kotoha, what did you say now? Did you say you want to go alone with me??

“What?”

I shout in shock. I was so shocked that I shouted, and Kotoha, who had been sleepwalking until now, went to …….

“Oh! Did I just say that out loud! Oh my god! I’m such an idiot!”

Finally, Kotoha realized her mistake and is panicking.

“Ko, Kotoha now—”

I tried to ask her what she really meant, but she said ——.

“I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you! Don’t just stand there looking dumb, hurry up and get ready!”

I was interrupted by a loud voice, which was unusual for her.

“Eh, but Kotoha said she wanted to go alone with me.”

I asked again.

“Hey! If you say anything else, I’ll slap you!

She got really angry. I’ve got no choice but to refrain from pursuing the matter any further.

“…Okay.”

When I said that, she sniffed and said…

“It’s fine if you understand.”

She’s really cute in that childish way. I looked at her with a smile.

“What is it? You’re looking at me like I’m a little kid!

I’m not sure if she liked it or not, but Kotoha is biting me again.

I’m not going to get anywhere talking about this anymore. I thought so and changed the subject a little.

“Kotoha, are you ready? Aren’t you forgetting anything?

When I said that…

“Tsuzuri-kun! I’m not a child! I mean, that’s my line!”

Hmm, what should I do? Today’s Kotoha is really trying to bite me.

“Sorry Kotoha, the way you were acting just now, you looked like a child.”

I said as if to agitate her.

“What? What do you mean?”

Kotoha snapped at me even more vigorously.

I don’t know if I should be thinking about this in this situation. I’m relieved to see that it’s right in front of me, my usual routine.

The two of us left the house together, talking about such trivial things.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the school.

“Everyone, get on the bus! Oh, it’s a free seat, so you can sit with whoever you want!”

We were just on our way to the bus.

By the way, everyone who thought that the two flies of Tamagawa and Teraoka would come at us from the teacher’s words!

“Don’t worry, there’s one bus for each class! So there’s nothing to worry about!”

“Kotoha, what about your seat on the bus?”

I’m not sure why she smiled triumphantly when I asked her if she wanted to be seated with me…

“Don’t you want to sit next to me? Fufu, it can’t be helped, can I stay next to you?”

She said so. I wonder if what happened at home is still rooted in you or something…

Well, I certainly want to sit next to Kotoha, but when you say it like this, I feel like being a little mean.

“I’ve not said anything yet, but…”

I didn’t agree with her words, but I dared her to say it. And then.

“…You can sit next to me”

She reiterated with a kind of anxious look on her face! So cute!

Well, no matter how much I wanted to be mean, I didn’t want to make her sad.

“…… You’re not being honest. Then let’s sit together.”

I replied, chuckling at the sight of her.

“Muu… what is it?”

She turns around. I calmed down seeing such Kotoha.

Something about this, our usual scene, isn’t it already a couple if you look around? No, we are a couple.

I’d be happy if fewer bastards felt our vibe and stop approaching Kotoha.

But…

The time to immerse yourself in such a happy life is infinitely ephemeral. At least me and Kotoha.

“Oh, Sasaki-san, may I sit next to you?”

The “disaster” had appeared. It was the new student representative, Asuka Ichijo.

“…… Ichijo.”

“…… What can I do for you?”

Kotoha is directing bare hostility at her. Look at that.

For the umpteenth time since I entered the school, I felt a spark.

Even the forest camp is a difficult road ahead, and I let out a sigh quietly so that the two of them do not notice.
