Chapter 33 Childhood friend and forest training camp ③

A few minutes later, we arrived at the camp.

Kotoha is …… still sleeping soundly, isn’t she?

“Hey, Kotoha. Wake up”

I tried to wake up Kotoha.

I pinched her cheek to wake her up, but she didn’t respond, as if she was still in a dream. I continued to do this for a while and then…

“Tsuzuri-kun… fufu”

Kotoha muttered in her sleep. I’m really curious if this is a dream in which I appear.

I’m curious!

It’s not the time to be thinking about it. I managed to resist the temptation and kept pinching her cheeks.

Then she finally woke up. Kotoha was staring straight at me.

I guess the sleepiness hadn’t worn off yet. I was dumbfounded for a while.

“Wake up, wake up”

“Nya! What are you doing!”

Suddenly her cheeks turned red and she began to scream.

“Kotoha’s cheeks are so soft and comfortable to the touch”

The sight of her cheeks stimulated my mischievous spirit, and I continued to rub them.

“Please stop it! It’s sexual harassment!”

I can’t hear what she’s saying, but Kotoha seems to be screaming in protest. Cute.

But don’t forget that this is a public place. When I was absorbed in my “Kotoha moe”.

“Hey you two, stop flirting on the bus!”

The teacher warned me gently with warm eyes.

With that comment, I realized that I had somehow entered their world. We’re outside!

I started to feel embarrassed, and I couldn’t help but look around…

The girls looked at me curiously while the boys were still looking at me with the same deadly intent.

Either way, we’re getting a lot of attention and it’s very uncomfortable.

There was some whispering going on. I was curious about what they were saying, so I tried to listen in. Then…

“Damn, he’s always with Shirayuki-san, isn’t he?”

“Really, but I heard that they are not dating, so there’s a chance, right?”

“No, I don’t feel like approaching after seeing that”

Oops, I’ve heard something I shouldn’t have. It’s been decided that I’m the only one who can get together with Kotoha.

I need to be vigilant so that no bad insects come near me, I thought.

“Tsk”

Suddenly, I hear a tongue clicking from somewhere. I looked in that direction to see what it was.

Surprisingly, Ichijo was there. She was flying a frustrated gaze at us, and her appearance was not like her usual.

Intuition. I have a bad feeling about this.

She kept glaring hatefully at Kotoha.It was a devilish face that burned with revenge.

I’ll have to be careful with this one too. I chuckled at the forest training camp, which was already looking like an ordeal.

“Yes! Then we’re going to do some orienteering!”

One hour later, after the opening ceremony and other things, we were supposed to do orienteering.

In a nutshell, we were going to walk a predetermined course in the mountains full of nature and come back. That’s it.

At first glance, it seems like a tedious event, but this time it’s not.

Because Kotoha is there.

I walked through the wilderness with her, chatting and laughing together. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was in fact a “date in the mountains,” but alas! There are two flies following us around.

“Shirayuki-san! It’s dangerous here, I can escort you if you want!

“We’re in the sports department. Come on. Hands!”

We were just talking, and then they came. They said that and casually extended their hands to Kotoha. You just want to hold hands with her anyway, right?

When I was feeling disgusted by the two men with ulterior motives…

“No, I refuse. I don’t want to be touched by dirty hands”

Of course, that was Kotoha. She cut them off with a snippy and a poisonous tongue. Of course, the person who escorts her is decided.

“Kotoha, it’s dangerous here”

Yes, that’s me. Of course, it’s me, right? There’s no way I’m leaving it to those other people.

“Tsuzuri-kun, may I ask you to escort me?”

Kotoha knew exactly what I was talking about and responded to my voice. When we try to hold hands without hesitation—

“Hey!”

“What are you doing?”

The two flies interrupted me in a hurry

“Hmm? What’s up?”

I ask in a dumb way. They are probably annoyed that Kotoha is holding hands with me.

But of course, that’s up to Kotoha, and as long as she chooses me, they shouldn’t have anything more to say.

“Fuck, it’s nothing”

“It’s nothing”

As I had hoped, they frowned in frustration without making much of an argument.

But I want to ask them. If you’re so annoyed by something like this, how will you be able to survive in the future? I thought.

Because from now on, the lovey-dovey time between me and Kotoha will go on and on.

“This is going to be interesting”

“Hmm? What’s up with you all of a sudden?”

Kotoha is a little puzzled by my too abrupt statement. But.

“No, it’s nothing”

I don’t think I need to tell her that.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the two guys react to my upcoming “date in the mountains”. That’s what I’m looking forward to.

TLN: I’m sorry for my inactivity the past 2 months, got a lot of IRL stuff to do and I just can’t find the motivation to TL this.
