Sitting down on a log around the campfire, this has become a nightly routine, just staring at the sparkling fire in the dead of night, with nothing to illuminate the world but this light.
It will be day 5 tomorrow.
Something is bound to happen.
If not then day 6 for sure.
It's vital that Ibuki starts stirring up trouble in this class if she wants to do what she came here for.
I heard a zipper, and looked over to one of the boys' tents to see Ayanokoji walk out, closing it after.
He walked over to me, sitting down beside me, also looking out at the fire.
"You added some extra details to my map."
"Is that fine? I'm sorry if it's not."
"No, it makes it better for me, thank you."
I nodded in return, and he yawned.
"It's late."
"Yeah."
"You should sleep too Shizukana."
"Yeah."
I continued to just stare at the fire, not yet feeling tired.
"I have a question."
I smiled.
"Go ahead." I said softly.
"Regarding A class, what's going on there?"
"A class, it has two leaders, Sakayanagi and Katsuragi, Sakayanagi is not currently in the exam due to poor physical condition. The class is split pretty fifty-fifty, and while one works on offence the other prefers defence. They work together when they have a common purpose though, it's not possible to separate them unless it's one of the two themselves that does it."
"I see."
He accompanied me for some more time, staring at the fire, before I saw him nod his head.
"Alright, I will go to sleep now, don't be up too late."
"I won't be, goodnight."
"Goodnight."
By the time he was back into the tent, I did notice that I was starting to feel sleepy.
I stayed out longer still.
I rubbed my eyes, at least another half hour had passed, and I heard a tent zipper once again.
I frowned.
The sound came from the girls side of the camp.
Soft footsteps through the grass, before they suddenly stopped.
Then, they resumed, heading towards me.
I perked up, looking behind me, and sent a small smile towards Ibuki, who moved to sit down next to me.
"Shizukana, greetings."
"Ibuki-chan, hello, what are you doing up so late?"
"I couldn't sleep."
I let out a small laugh.
"You and me both." I mumbled.
I felt her gaze on me, and turned to look at her.
In that moment, I couldn't tell if the beauty sitting before me was just exaggerated from the warm fire, or if this was truly how beautiful Ibuki was.
