The day of the camp.
We’re going to Nagano, our destination, by bus.
We’re sitting in rows by group, but next to me is…
“Sir Seiji ! Did you see that sword strike just now? I really want to fight against the best in the country too…”
Sure enough, it’s Hanzo.
He’s watching YouTube on his smartphone and giving me a bunch of explanations.
Sorry, but I don’t even know the rules of kendo.
“Ah…that’s definitely amazing. Yeah, amazing, amazing.”
“Hmm, hmm, Sir Seiji, you should join the kendo club…”
“Pass.”
“Ugh.”
Behind me and Hanzo,
“This episode of OreGairu is crazy…”
“Damn…I’ve seen it so many times, but it still makes me cry…”
Hagiya kun and Iijima kun were watching anime on their smartphones and crying together. They’re really close…
“But, a school camp…”
For someone like me who’s basically an indoor person, events that mainly involve outdoor activities are a bit of a drag.
I’m sure when we go mountain climbing, I’ll be thinking, “Damn, I want to go home and play video games…”
“These days, young people are always on their phones….when I was your age, we used to play cards or UNO together on the bus…the times have really changed.”
The teacher said that while playing games on his tablet. He’s apparently into Dragon Quest Walk lately.
He’s probably set the destination to the inn to earn distance bonuses.
It’s kind of ironic that the teacher is keeping up with the times too.
“Sir Seiji ! Did you see that face just now!? Breathing, ki, posture—everything was perfect…”
Hanzo was getting excited on his own.
***
“Alright, everyone, the rooms are divided by group, so go put your luggage away !”
Upon arriving at the inn, we moved to our rooms.
Two groups were sharing the same room. Ugh ! Another wall standing in the way of my social anxiety…!
“After that, it’s time for the meal you’ve all been waiting for ! The teacher will make a pork soup with lots of love ! Those who can help can make rice balls together ! Oh, I’m so busy !”
Ha ha ha ! Our homeroom teacher was laughing happily. By the way, he’s been single for 34 years, so he’s apparently skilled at cooking. He’d make a good wife, even though he’s a man.
Well, then…my luggage is heavy, so I’ll head to my room.”
“That’s right ! I’d like to join you for the teacher’s meal, but what about you, Sir Seiji?”
“Ah, I’m just…you know. I’ll pass.”
“What do you mean, ‘you know’!?”
As I was talking with Hanzou, I felt someone’s presence behind me.
I had a vague idea of who it might be.
“S-Seiji?”
It was Karen.
“Huh?”
Hanzo reacted when he noticed that Hana had spoken to me.
But I…
“Hanzo, let’s go.”
“…!? S-Seiji…wait a sec…!”
Without looking back, I started walking away as if fleeing the scene.
“Sir Seiji ! What is going on !?”
***
I don’t understand.
Why are you talking to me now?
You’ve been ignoring me all this time, so why did you suddenly decide to talk to me?
In the first place, our relationship was a secret at school, wasn’t it?
Are you trying to distract yourself with me while you’re traveling without your boyfriend?
What the hell are you trying to do?
If you’re going to cheat, at least break up first.
Don’t make me feel like I’m interested.
Don’t make me misunderstand.
Don’t mess with my feelings any more…
