[ school trip ] #4

third person's pov.

"Asano, are you really coming?" His classmate asked. Asano just nodded as an answer. This trip is really nothing to Asano, he already visited the places in Kyoto that are included in the brochure but because of his plan of getting close to Manami, he has to go thinking he might see her on this trip.

"S-sorry everyone... I just hide--" Kayano and Kanzaki stopped Minami from what she's going to say when they run towards her. Kanzaki and Kayano were abducted earlier and all Manami did was hide. So she felt so bad and useless.

"It's okay Okuda-san! What matters now is we're safe! You just did the right thing." Kayano said then smiled, Kanzaki smiled too. Manami can't help but feel relieved knowing they ain't mad at her.

Their chitchats were interrupted by a sudden phone ring. It was Manami's. She opened her phone and turned off her alarm which means their tour has to end until she noticed she received a message.

From : Asano Gakushu

Can we meet today? I guess your tour ended now right? I'll wait here. Click here to see Location. I need to hand something to your class president but I guess I'll just hand it to you because you're the only one I know from that class and I will personally tell you my father's reaction to what you said.

Received 03:14 PM

"Uhm... You can go back to the hotel without me." She said to Kayano and Kanzaki. Their expression changed into a confused one.

"Why?" Kanzaki asked. She showed Asano's message to her. The others noticed the girls stayed including Koro-sensei so they stopped on their tracks too, wondering why the others stopped.

"But It's already 3:50 PM Okuda-san what if he's not there anymore?" Hearing it make the boys curious, except Karma.

"Call him first, Okuda-san so that you'll know if he's still there or not," Kanzaki suggested, she nodded and called Asano. She was so nervous, it's her first time calling a guy except for her family.

[ H-hello? ] Manami said then gulped.
[ Hmm? ]
[ S-Sorry I just saw y-your message... ]
[ It's okay, I'm still here. I'll be waiting. ] Asano answered in his normal tone. Hearing it makes Kayano and Kanzaki blush. Boys not hearing a thing makes them more curious and this time, Akabane is not an exception.

Manami turned it off when she received Asano's last answer.

"He's waiting for you for the last 36 minutes!" Kayano shouted.
"Sensei can Okuda-san go somewhere for a bit?" Kanzaki asked her teacher.
"You were just abducted and we fought on those guys..." Sugino said.
"I-i know but I think I r-really have to meet this person. I'll be back safe!" She said. The boys are still confused.
"Who are you gonna meet though, Okuda-san?" Koro-sensei finally spoke.
"A-asano G-gakushu.." She said that surprised them.

"I see... He doesn't seem like a dangerous guy to me... Okay, but be back before it gets late." Koro-sensei said and Manami bowed and bid her goodbyes. She clicked the location and the location is just close by, she can even just run.

"It seems like he just wants to see Okuda-san and just making excuses, don't you think?" Kayano asked Kanzaki. Kanzaki nodded and they both giggled.

"Sensei! I know you said it's okay but it's still a man from Class A and even the only son of the principal. We are just worried... Don't you think we should sneak up on them a bit?" Kayano said. Everyone agreed to follow except for one, of course, Karma.

×××

Manami finally reached the place and stop in front of it. She runs all the way so she was so exhausted. Asano saw her and went to her.

"Sorry. I should have just taken you than asking you to come all the way here." Manami was a bit startled but when she realized it's Asano, she shakes her head on both sides.

"It's o-okay.." She said, still catching air to breathe.
"Sorry for making you wait, a lot has happened earlier and I forgot to check my phone." She continued.

"May I ask what happened?" He asked her. Finally, Manami can breathe normally. She sighs and explained. Manami also said how useless she felt and then again, Asano was speechless. He noticed she was frustrated and a bit scared, traumatized by what happened.

"There's nothing to be worried about anymore at least they're now saved and no one blamed you so it's fine." He said. Manami is now looking at him.

"Also there's nothing to be scared about, I won't let something bad happen to you." He continued. Manami can't help but blush. She bowed to hide her blushing cheeks and thanked him.

'This is truly easy.' Asano thought. They're now walking away from where the others are hiding.

"Looks like a romance movie if you're going to ask me..." Sugino whispered.
"Let's make this sneak come to an end! It seems like Asano wouldn't do something horrible to her though!" Kayano shouted, feeling so happy.

They started walking away and head to the waiting station for the bus.

"But what's more questionable is Karma going with us..." Sugino said.
"What? I just thought I might find something that can be useful on bullying that Asano someday." Karma said and smirked evilly. They didn't ask him anymore.

When they're on the bus Kayano and Kanzaki can't help but chitchat about those two.

"Doesn't it seems like a date?" Kayano asked. Kanzaki was about to answer but was interrupted.
"It isn't. There's no way they'll get along." Karma said. They thought they will see a mischievous smile from him but he was looking outside with a not-so-normal look.

"No way. I thought first there's no way you or even me can get along with Okuda-san but we did. They may!" Kayano said. Karma is still teasing Kayano but Nagisa stopped because their voices are already taking everyone's attention.
