In the end, because of Hideyoshi’s contributions, the mock test could only be cancelled. We then continued to study for a few hours. After midnight, it was time for bed.
“Kinoshita-kun. If something happens, please make such to call out.”
“…This is a bell and a taser. You can use it if Yuuji has any ill intents to you.”
“Muu…is Akihisa’s sister the only one who was able to correctly identify my gender?”
“Aki, I suppose you should be clear. If anything…”
“I, I got it! I won’t do anything bad!”
Because Hideyoshi strongly insisted, we could only split up into ‘guys and Hideyoshi’ and ‘girls’ rooms. Based on how nothing happened during the training camp before, the girls specially allowed us, but…in that case, they didn’t need to take out tasers or threaten us already, right? Am I the only one who thinks that?
And so, it’s finally time for bed.
~Conversation in the girls’ room~
“Arre? Where did my hairclip go? I definitely left it here.”
“Is your hairclip missing?”
“Seems that way.”
“…I’ll search for you.”
“Ah, no need. I’ll find it once we get up tomorrow morning and tidy the beds.”
“…Understood.”
“Speaking of which, it’s like you’ve been wearing that hairclip all the time, Mizuki.”
“…What kind of memorabilia is it?”
“Nfufuf~, according to my guess, that hairclip is given to you by someone you like, right, Hime-chan?”
“Nope, it’s just a normal hairclip I bought for myself.”
“Oh my…I actually guessed wrongly.”
“But it can be considered some kind of memorabilia.”
“Eh? What is it? It sounds interesting.”
“Unfortunately, that’s my own secret. More than that, I’m more mindful about Kudou-san’s matter.”
“Eh? Me?”
“Yeah, I’ve been wondering too.”
“Fufu. Are you two that interested in hearing me say pervy things?”
“Nope, we’re not talking about that.”
“It’s about the relationship between you and Tsuchiya-kun.”
“EHHH!?”
“…I’m wondering about that too.”
“WHA, WHAT ARE YOU THREE RAMBLING ABOUT!? WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WOULD I HAVE WITH MUTTSURINI-KUN. THERE’S NO SUCH THING!”
“Even the way you strongly deny that is suspicious.”
“…Normally, Aiko would definitely laugh it off.”
“THA, THAT’S NOT TRUE! I HAVE NO SUCH THOUGHTS AT ALL, WHETHER IT’S ABOUT ME OR MUTTSURINI-KUN!”
“Who knows? Maybe Tsuchiya’s saying the same thing as you in the guys’ room now, you know?”
“…This is something we have to talk about when camping overnight.”
“That’s right. The guys must be talking about the same things as us.”
