School Camping

"That person is Asakawa-san?"

"He changed so much... It's obviously just a hairstyle change, why does it seem like people change!"

"Asakawa-san is so handsome, I didn't realize it before."

Naoki entered the classroom from the back door, which immediately caused the group of students sitting down to whisper.

Luckily Naoki was very unpopular and had no friends in class, but no one came to him to ask, saving him a lot of trouble explaining.

A class passed by in a hurry.

It's time to rest.

Itsuki was in a daze, and suddenly felt that someone was secretly stabbing her.

"Eh... Ayano?"

The short-haired girl sitting in front of Itsuki raised her hand to cover her mouth, and said with a serious expression:

"Itsuki-chan, tell me the truth."

"Eh, what exactly?"

The ahoge hair on top of Itsuki's head suddenly stood up.

"What are you and Asakawa-san doing?"

"None at all!"

Itsuki said subconsciously.

"Hmph, don't try to lie to me." Ayano pressed the middle of her brow with the index finger of her right hand, "Asakawa-san always comes to school on time, but today is the first time he's been late. You two were late together… Something must have happened, right?"

"It turned out this way..."

Itsuki heaved a sigh of relief: "You think too much, it's just a coincidence."

"Was it a coincidence?" Ayano nodded lightly, with an 'I've seen it all' expression on her face, "Then why is your face red?"

"Eh, am I blushing?"

Itsuki raised his hand and touched his cheek. The temperature that passed through his fingertips was extremely hot, and only then did she realize that he was actually blushing, "It was because of a strange dream, that's all!"

...

Second class.

History class.

Mafuyu stood on the podium, with pink hair reaching her waist, holding chalk on the blackboard and writing the words 'School Camping.

"Starting Friday, the school will launch a 3 days 2 nights academic intensive dormitory."

"Please come back and be prepared, there is no particular reason to ask for leave."

Itsuki said subconsciously, "Is traveling together?"

"You think too much, the focus is on strengthening academics, not camping." Naoki looked at Itsuki "It's just another place to continue studying."

Itsuki had a straight waist, looked straight ahead, and sat up straight like a fresh graduate being interviewed:

"How did you know Asakawa-san?"

Naoki looked at Itsuki who looked the same as usual, and said casually:

"Of course because it happens once a year."

After the midterms, it is one of the school's traditions to have dormitories for all classes. Of course, the location would not be in places like Kyoto or Nara, but secluded in mountains and deep forests. Just like building a corporate team, it's actually meaningless.

People who study hard will be serious even if they don't go to the forest, and those who are lazy and playful will only go to the forest as a walk.

Mafuyu raised his hand and lightly tapped the blackboard, the noisy classroom suddenly became quiet, and nothing could stop his majestic aura.

"Let's start class now..."

...

Time for lunch break.

Naoki walked out of the classroom, went to the bathroom first, and was about to go to the cafeteria to eat when a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Asakawa Naoki?"

Naoki looked back, and a beautiful girl in a white coat and high ponytail came into view.

"Ah, it's Sekiya-san…"

"It's Sekijou! Don't learn Ogata Rizu to mispronounce my name!" Sekijou Sawako clenched his fists and shouted, "You did it on purpose!"

Naoki said slowly, "Actually I easily forget someone's face."

"I can't believe you were able to recognize me last time, it's not an acquired disease!" Sekijou pressed his right hand against his chest and sighed, "How did you become like this?"

Naoki raised his hand and touched his hair: "The weather is hot, so I cut my hair a bit shorter."

"I always feel like there's something else to hide…" Sekijou looked at Naoki suspiciously up and down, "Did you dress up like this on purpose because of Ogata Rizu's idea?"

"Too shallow."

Naoki's expression suddenly became serious.

"S-Shallow?"

"Just looking at her face will make you feel comfortable with other people, and you don't pay attention to the girl's insides at all, isn't that shallow?"

"What Ogata cares about is not faces, but souls and interiors with the same interests."

Naoki said, "Since you like Ogata, you should try to make yourself attractive."

Sekijou nodded subconsciously: "I know…"

"Wait a moment!"

Sekijou quickly reacted, with a blush on his face, and said frantically, "What are you talking about! When did I say I like Ogata Rizu!"

"Sekiya-san..."

A solemn voice sounded behind Sekijou.

"I told you, my name is Sekijou… woah!" Sekijou turned his head, and was suddenly surprised, "Ogata Rizu?!"

Sekijou's face became even redder and stammered, "Why are you behind me?"

Ogata tilted his head, with an 'I don't know what you're talking about' expression on his face, and answered seriously:

"Of course I came."

"Why are there no footsteps at all!"

"I can testify to Ogata that I just heard footsteps." Naoki raised his right hand "It's just that you didn't hear it."

Sekijou opened his mouth, suddenly raised his hand to cover his face, turned and ran: "I will be back!"

"What happened to Sekijou-san?"

Ogata asked in confusion.

"I don't know." Naoki shook his head, "You can only find out the truth about this matter yourself."

Ogata raised his small face and stared without blinking.

"Why do you keep watching me?"

Naoki raised his hand and touched his cheek: "Is there something on my face?"

"Not." Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "Asakawa-san looks much better."

I just said that you are not a superficial girl who sees faces, so you are still interested in appearances!

Naoki waved his hand: "I went to the cafeteria to eat."

Ogata nodded lightly and lifted her skirt: "Want some udon noodles?"

"Do not eat."

When you invite people to eat udon noodles, don't lift your skirt, it will make people misunderstand!

Saying goodbye to Ogata, Naoki walked to the school cafeteria alone.

"Hey, Asakawa."

A teenager with half-parted hair waved and shouted, "Did you find the criminal who bullied Princess Furuhashi?"

Not only found, but standing in front of you.

The man in front of him was one of the members of the Furuhashi Protection Association. He wanted to offer a reward to the school criminal who bullied Furuhashi. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the real killer was standing in front of him and chatting and laughing with him.

The feeling of breaking into the enemy's interior was great.
