Ayanokoji Kiyone POV

The moment we set foot into the forest, we were struck by the lush and overgrown greenery around us. It was much better that we avoided the direct sunlight that hit us on the beach, but still, the dampness and humidity made the heat unbearable. Suddenly, I feel a rush of coolness in the back of my neck, like a fan flapping.... I had the feeling that this mission was about to fail.

It's, hot, it's hot and as I am thinking about it, it's getting even hotter. But that's not the only problem for me...

Kiyone : "Koenji-kun!"

Koenji : "Ah! Beautiful! To be able to explore calmly surrounded by nature! This is just perfect.... The ultimate beauty!"

It's hopeless. I cannot have a proper conversation with him, now. Actually, there is nobody around that I can have a substantial conversation with, however this boy classified as different case.

Sakura : *pant* *pant* "He sure move so fast!".

Kouenji without thinking at all, about the pace of a girls, he kept moving deeper into the forest. Ignoring that he leads us steadily into unfamiliar territory. On an unknown path, there is nothing to do but rely on our feet and stamina and admire the obedience.

Kiyone : "Koenji-kun! Wait for us!"

What is the meaning of this. Is this a coincidence? No! There is no hesitation in Koenji-kun's pace. For example, we chose the place for our base camp in discretion for the sake of the whole team. How is it normal for someone to move straight forward without looking left or right in unfamiliar territory? It is like that Koenji-kun has a pretty clear aim on his mind. Above all the quick progress on the route surprised me. There is a chance that Koenji-kun just not push forward blindly.

Kiyone : "It can't be helped...Hup!"

So I decide to climb as well following him by jumping from tree to another tree like he did.

But there is a problem here. I have to leave Sakura-san into matching Koenji-kun's pace, so I take a deep breath and move faster.

Kiyone : "Hey Koenji-kun! Wait for us! Don't you think we've come too far away from our base? We might get lost out here!"

Sakura-san looked both my way and Koenji-kun's looking concerned as I called out to him. Koenji-kun's silhouette stopped and turned our way to face us, as he fixed a strand of his hair.

Koenji : "Hahaha! Don't worry ladies, I am a genius with the perfect physical ability, there is no way that I will get us lost in a forest of this size. If anything might happen to you that's because you might have lost sight of me and then let's be honest, it would be better if you'd give up"

Kiyone : *pant* *pant* "Huh?"

He stopped quite a bit longer and I could see Sakura finally catch up with us although....

She maybe didn't looks okay at this moment

As I would expect of him, the situation around here is not entertaining at all.

Koenji : "I would like to ask you, ordinary people, don't you think that this is truly beautiful?"

Thinking that he showed us of his perfect nature as always, Koenji flashed us a daring smile, asking us that question.

Kiyone : "Uuuhh....Well.... It is only natural for the forest to be a mysterious place, although, I mostly feel that it is beautiful, I think..."

More or less this is how I felt and tried to transmit it. However, Koenji did not expect this kind of reply, feeling a little disappointed he took a deep breath.
