CHAPTER — II
part three

AFTER A morning prayer with Father Fushiguro, he promptly left for his office with a bow, not before assuring you all to come to him if you need anything.

That left you with Satoru, who clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "What do you guys want to do today ?" He smiled, his eyes closing. His entire demeanor seemed more relaxed than seconds prior.

You noticed that you weren't the only affected by Father Fushiguro.

Yuuji whipped his head to look at you before exclaiming, "We can show __ around !"

Maki hummed, "Yeah, that would be nice, since she's new and all."

"Didn't we say we were going to do the garden ?" Nobara pipped in, crossing her arms.

You had shortly seen a small garden right behind the church while coming there.

"We've got a long day ahead of us," Satoru said, "We'll find time to show her around town. Plus today what we gotta do is indeed the garden."

You heard Megumi groan.

Gardening ? This was not an activity you thought you'd be doing at a camp, however since it is religious after all you presumed taking care of the church must be part of the program.

"Also, the fridge is empty, I'll cook for lunch. Who's going to the supermarket ?"

★・・・★

Everyone went to the supermarket, it turned out, well, except for Satoru who stayed, in case anyone else would come while you all were away. It was a very flimsy excuse, in fact, you saw him sit down on a big armchair with a loud exhale from the window as soon as you all left.

Shopping list in hand, Maki was making her way along the isles, searching for the right ingredients with everyone else in tow. Yuuji alone was way behind everybody, his hands in his pockets as he whistled.

All of a sudden, you heard a faint buzz next to you followed by a violent clap of hands. You turned your head at the sound.

"Ugh, I hate mosquitos." Megumi spit in annoyance, eyes narrowing as he tried to reach for the mosquitos again.

Nobara laughed, soft and light, "Right, they're a lot of mosquitoes here. They bite, a lot."

"Very dangerous stuff," Yuuji nodded, looking at you seriously before smiling boyishly.

"Why are you telling her all this ?" Megumi let out a sigh. "It's not going to change anything."

"She has to know." Maki turned to you, she cocked her hips, "They kill, mostly weak and old people."

"They're in the neighboring towns as well, if you want to escape from them, you have go very far away." Yuuji grabbed your hands and you felt your skin grow hot, being not used to skinship, "Understood ?"

Your eyes were round and you tilted your head to the side in confusion, "Y-yes." You choked out, bopping your head up and down twice to convince the boy you've understood him.

It wasn't anything that a little anti-mosquito spray couldn't fix anyway.

Right ?

"More on the right," Maki advised, and so Megumi and Yuuji proceeded to roll the cupboard to the right. Maki jutted her bottom lip forward, thinking, "It still looks out of place."
