COTE: Jurassic Period

Pond

I still couldn't understand the meaning of Hiyori's request. She asked me to join her in a joint swim in the pond. To be honest, I didn't mind washing, but it's kind of weird when you wash with a member of the other sex. I thought only lovers or relatives did this. Well, I just didn't have a choice.

While Hiyori was changing somewhere to the side, I had already taken off almost all my clothes and got into the water. The water was warm and slightly bubbling in all places. In fact, I expected the temperature to be higher here, but, apparently, it's not that hot here. It's even good.

In fact, I was just hoping that those girls who were resting here about half an hour ago wouldn't come back here. It would have been a bit of a problem if they had come, but Hiyori and I were here.

Ice Cream has now remained in the same place due to the fact that it eats a hidden snake. Yes, I purposely left Hashimoto's body in the bushes so that Hiyori wouldn't notice anything, and Ice Cream could enjoy her dinner now.

- Ayanokoji-kun.

Hiyori caught my attention, and then I turned my head to the side to see her. She was wearing only her underwear now. Since she didn't have a swimsuit with her, she just had to take off all her clothes, which she was just carrying in her hands. She put her neatly folded things next to my things stacked on the ground and moved straight towards me.

I watched her body and could tell that she looked cute in her own way. I wouldn't call it something sexy, it's rather cute. I don't know how you can explain this, but you'll have to take my word for it. Her breasts were slightly below the average size, but it was still not so bad, because I saw her almost completely. If she had taken off her bra, it would have been just fine.

Suddenly I had a desire to go up to her and rip off her bra and panties, but I restrained this sudden impulse. I couldn't let Hornykoji break free now with such an innocent girl next to me.

In the end, Hiyori slowly entered the water next to me and sank to my level, feeling better. I could see from her face that as soon as she entered the water, she immediately felt better, as if she got rid of all the accumulated problems in just a second.

- Ayanokoji-kun...

I could tell by her face that she had something on her mind right now. It seemed as if something had been bothering her for some time. Hiyori is a pretty smart girl, so maybe this is really something important.

- Yes?

Hiyori blushed when she looked at me, but then she looked away, looking at the forest around us. There was something in her gaze that could be called doubt. It seems that she was thinking about what exactly to ask me and where to start our dialogue. I decided to give her a little push.

–Is something bothering you?"

- Oh?? Well, it probably is... What do you think about all this?

Hmm? What did she mean by that? Did she talk about the situation when the two of us are having a rest like this? Maybe it confuses her? Or was it about something else? Maybe she was thinking about how I tamed ice cream? Although it is unlikely. The reason must be something else.

–What do you mean?"

–I... I mean, we ended up in this place at all. Why we're here is what worries me.

Ah, that's it. That is, she is concerned about the whole situation. To be honest, I had neither the time nor the desire to think about it, since things were happening around me with really amazing variability. I had to be vigilant almost always, which is why I didn't take the time to think a little. Now Hiyori has brought up this topic, and we could discuss it in such a calm atmosphere.

– So you decided to think about it, right? Well, if you ask me, I don't know the answer.

It was the very riddle that even I couldn't solve so easily. No matter how you look at this situation, it becomes clear that nothing is clear at all. I am literally at an impasse on this issue. In fact, we just suddenly found ourselves in this place, all together, but in different places.

- I understand, I'm as confused as you are, but I was interested in your thoughts on this.

- That's how. Tell me, did you end up here with your class, right?

- Yes, it is.

Well, it just proves that all the people from each class moved together to some place. Class D was in the cave, Class B was probably not far from here, as was Class C. It looks like Class A is a little further away from us, because I only saw one of their students, and he was running from dinosaurs outside the forest. Perhaps it has already been eaten. Well, this is the cycle of organic matter in nature. I hope his body will become a decent fertilizer for the soil.

- Do you have any thoughts, Ayanokoji-kun?

- Hm?

Hiyori was suddenly a little closer to me. Because of her interest in this issue, she apparently did not even notice how she began to stare intently at my face, right into my eyes. The skin on her shoulders was somewhat damp. When I saw this girl from such a close distance, she seemed to me even more cute than before. We were at arm's length from each other, but Hiyori still didn't seem to attach much importance to it.

–Well, I can only say that our Class D was also together when we ended up here.

- Were you together? Then why are you here alone?

– I wasn't alone when we met.

- Ice Cream lived here before you showed up, so I wasn't asking about her.

I see. Well, it really is. But for some reason I feel that Ice Cream and I are much more connected than it seems at first glance. Is it possible that Ice Cream is...

- Ayanokoji-kun!

Hiyori suddenly screamed, drawing my attention to what was happening to us. The water in which we were suddenly ceased to be quiet and calm and began to actively flow into the center of the pond, without giving a special chance to escape.

I grabbed the edge of the pond, where there were tree roots protruding to the surface, and then used them as a support so that my body would not move anywhere. It was a little difficult due to the fact that in such warm, almost hot water, my muscles relaxed enough that it was difficult for me to resist. Perhaps this is a kind of trap. Did something like this happen to those girls who were here half an hour ago?

- Ayanokoji!!

Hiyori. I had completely forgotten about her. She actively tried to stay where she was, but nothing came out, it became more and more difficult for her to move her arms and legs, and after all, the water flowed to the center more and more actively. I reached out one hand in her direction and grabbed Hiyori's outstretched hand, preventing her from floating even further away from me.

With slow but strong movements, I managed to pull us both ashore, where we could say that we were relatively safe. By this time, all the water had flowed to the center of the pond and gone somewhere to the ground. I also saw something strange in that place. This thing wasn't an animal, or so I think. In fact, the appearance of this creature was more like Venus Flytrap. That's just this thing was under water and had very sharp teeth that could be seen even from here. Hm, to be honest, it also looks like that Star Wars creature living in the desert.

– What is it??

Hiyori was trembling slightly with fear, even considering that we were already in the safe zone. She also suddenly hugged me, apparently to find moral support at this moment for herself. I hugged her back easily so she wouldn't feel lonely.
