Chapter 1830 Arriving at the Camp Site
?1830 Arriving at the Camp Site
Around half an hour later, the bus arrived at the vicinity of the Akimitsu Hills. With the vehicle needing to climb a short steep section of the road, we experienced a tilt that one would feel when the roller coaster ride was about to reach its highest point.
Everyone looked outside their windows, finding the breathtaking scenery of the mountain peaks not far from where we were and the urban city that spread out below.
Kanzaki and I also did the same, of course. But she remained cuddled at my side, enjoying the rest of our time together.
As the bus gradually slowed down before the entrance of the camping venue, Kanzaki stood up to help Shio out by reminding us of the guidelines once again.
Mhm. She’s now more enthusiastic to do her job as our Class President. And those paying attention noticed a small or maybe significant change about her.
The usually strict and diligent Class President who would not hesitate to criticize or scold someone if they didn’t do their assigned task had a bright expression. Her mood was so pleasant flowers could probably bloom around her. Moreover, with the lack of stiffness in her voice, the explanation flowed more naturally. Shio let her handle the reminders by then while our lovely teacher sat down and only provided additional information that Kanzaki missed.
Still, she maintained a straight and serious expression. Her smile remained reserved. And having seen her smile a lot while we were next to each other, I naturally felt how lucky I am.
“Alright, class. Do not rush. Climb down and go out one by one. Follow the Class President and line up according to your student number.”
Soon enough, the bus stopped at the parking lot. Following Shio’s instructions, those at the front followed Kanzaki as soon as the door opened.
I’d be carrying her bag so she didn’t have to worry about it.
And while I was at it, I also carried Aya’s bag and followed after her, barring Sakuma and Tadano’s way.
Ah. I also cut through Satsuki which earned me a bite on the back of my neck as she put herself behind me.
Aya giggled at the sight. She then scolded me for ignoring the established order to help her out.
In my defense, I couldn’t help it. When I saw her having trouble lifting her bag, it triggered my protective instinct for her.
Truthfully, it wasn’t really heavy for her. She already carried it up earlier, after all. It simply got stuck under her seat. Hence the trouble.
But since I’d already stood up and helped out, I just pushed through it.
Understanding what happened, Satsuki chanted ‘idiot’ a few times behind me. And before we got out, she slipped in a hug even with the obstruction of the bags slung around my shoulder.
Isn’t she adorable?
“Woah. Is she going to be our camp manager? She’s pretty hot.”
I heard Hino muttering on my left. Surprisingly, our student numbers are next to each other. As for the one on my right, it’s the delusional boy, Ogawa.
Anyway, this guy started talking to me. He probably thought that his attitude earlier erased the number of times I found him an eyesore.
But then again, I was never truly bothered by his nasty expression whenever he was around Fukuda.
With his newfound admiration for me, he’s possibly trying to get into my good books. If he’s like Fukuda who’s acting like a delinquent, he probably heard about me from Uchiyama.
Ah. No. I’m just overthinking this. He’s nothing more than an annoying classmate who likes to flap his mouth.
“Keep your thoughts to yourself, Hino. She’s out of your league.”
Someone else snickered and commented on his ramblings. It was Fukuda who was standing on the other side.
Looks like if the rooms became decided with our student number, I might be grouped with these three.
That’s not so bad, no? Two cucks, together, strong. I should expect the two of them working together to screw me in one way or another.
Then, I should do the honors and initiate a preemptive strike.
“Hmm? What’s that about, Fukuda? Hino isn’t half-bad. If he can put his mind to it, no girl will be unconquerable.”
“Wow really? Thanks, dude!” Hino was overjoyed.
Yeah. In your dreams.
In any case, I couldn’t care less what he’d do about it. It’s not even sound advice. I was only taking a jab at Fukuda who expectedly didn’t find my words pleasant.
“Yeah, right. But you have to be a bastard to go after everyone.”
“That’s true. Only a bastard will have a face thick enough to accomplish that.” I shamelessly replied, stumping both of them.
At this point, Shio, who probably caught our chattering, turned around to throw us a reprimanding gaze.
I put on an embarrassed smile and didn’t say anything more. As for the other two, Hino quietly snickered while Fukuda probably bottled up his resentment.
Anyway, the speeches soon ended and Shiina along with another college student took over. After explaining that our teachers would be handling our registrations at the front desk of the venue, they handed out our first task:
To run up the hill while carrying our bags. With the two of them leading the way, they’re going to lead us to the location of our cabins.
