Time sure flies.
Before I knew it, the day of the training camp had arrived. Normally, something this exciting should feel like it’s taking forever, but with everything going on, it felt like it came too fast.
All that “everything” was getting invited out to hang out by both people in my class and people outside my class, so I didn’t have a moment to spare to think about time.
Man, Mizuno Shota really is popular, huh? To think I’d finally get invited out by people outside my class too.
I could just say no, but for some reason I get all hyped up and end up going along with it.
I’m pretty reluctant until I actually go, but it always ends up being fun, so it’s a pain.
Anyway, I’ve gotta enjoy this training camp starting today.
Tomorrow, the dream swimsuit event awaits me. That flying swimsuit event got ruined by that brat, so I’ve been dying to get to tomorrow.
Ever since that situation, I’ve been on hold, so my hunger for swimsuits is insane.
Huh? The heroines aren’t wearing swimsuits just for me to see?
…Doesn’t matter.
I don’t even need to stare hard. I’ll just sneak thousands of glances. Repeated glances stick in your brain. I’ll piece them together in my mind into a slideshow.
Disgusting?
…Doesn’t matter.
I crossed the disgust threshold ages ago. Calling me disgusting isn’t even an insult to me.
“Guhuhuhuh.”
Nothing scares me now. I’ll see that swimsuit even if it kills me!
“Ah, good morning.”
“Morning. Shota.”
Only Fumi-senpai was at the meeting spot yet.
Of course. I came pretty early.
I was excited, so I figured I’d arrived early, but Fumi-senpai was already here.
“You’re early.”
“Because I’m the club president.”
I hate to say it, but I think it’s admirable she takes being club president seriously, even for a club like this. I’d probably just coast through it.
“Were you looking forward to it?”
“Yes! I was super excited!”
“That’s good to hear.”
“Is this your second time, Senpai?”
“Yeah. I did it with my own seniors.”
“At your seniors’ villa too?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“What did you do last year?”
“All kinds of stuff. Played in the ocean, did a ghost story challenge, set off fireworks.”
Just playing around the whole time, as expected.
“Oh, I brought a deck of cards. Let’s play tonight.”
“Oh! You’re the one!”
Cards are essential for camp. Having them or not totally changes how fun the camp is.
“What about when we sleep at night?”
“What do you mean, ‘what about’?”
Sleeping is just sleeping, right? What else would you do? Are you one of those health nuts who does stretches before bed?
“We sleep together, right?”
…Huh?
Huh? What is this person? Was she always like this? Was she some kind of seductive woman who invites guys like this?
Wait, if she did that, I’d totally be invited, right? I wouldn’t refuse! I’d happily go along!
“No, no, stop joking around like that~”
I figured this was just Fumi-senpai’s style of joke, so I brushed it off lightly.
“…You really think it’s a joke?”
Fumi-senpai asked me with a smile.
Honestly, even if I got fooled by this, I wouldn’t regret it.
I wouldn’t resent Fumi-senpai even if I ended up behind bars. If anything, I’d probably be filled with gratitude for letting me dream.
And even after I get out, Saotome, you’re the only one who has to stay my friend.
“Well then, I—”
“Huh? Two more people are here already.”
The worst possible timing in the world for new recruits to show up.
I was prepared to be arrested… Normally I’m indecisive, but this time I made up my mind instantly…
“What’s wrong? Why the face like you’re about to cry?”
I thought for sure I’d be bawling my eyes out, but it seems no tears had come yet.
Blocked from swimsuits, blocked from sleeping together at night—my mental state is a complete mess.
You’re lucky I’m a good guy! Anyone else would’ve fallen into darkness long ago! We might meet again as enemies!
“…Nah, it’s nothing.”
I gave the best answer I could manage right now.
If it were Saotome, he’d have definitely punched me.
“I’m bored being alone!”
“Mizuno said it was fine to be alone, right?”
We boarded the train. There were two sets of four seats, but someone else was sitting in one of them.
My reasoning behind this was my own consideration and strategy. I figured everyone would prefer being with Saotome, and I needed to boost my likability even in situations like this.
But this has a downside.
I’m bored out of my mind.
I did choose this situation myself, but I didn’t expect it to be this boring.
“You guys have four people over there, so one of you could come over here!”
“Ehh~”
“Rock-paper-scissors loser, come over here. We can just talk or something.”
Well, if it comes down to talking, Saotome would definitely come over.
I’m happy we get along, I really am, but the downside is… my likability doesn’t go up.
Please! Just let’s rock-paper-scissors.
“What should we do? …Hm?”
Just as Fumi-senpai was deciding between rock-paper-scissors or talking it out, Hisada-chan stood up, trotted over, and sat down right in front of me.
Everyone except Hisada-chan was staring blankly. Me included, of course.
Wh-what’s up? Losing rock-paper-scissors is fine, okay? You haven’t lost rock-paper-scissors yet! You still had a chance to win!
If I were a hot-blooded guy, I might’ve gotten mad and yelled, “Don’t give up on your chance to win!” So you should be careful. It’s just lucky I happen to be a pervert.
“Huh? What’s up? Did you really want to be with me that badly?”
I joked, but for some reason, Hisada-chan just stared out the window.
She came over here herself, but doesn’t want to talk to me? That’s unusual behavior.
“Haruka-chan”
“…”
Since she was staring out the window, I turned her toward me.
“We’re finally alone together, so you can’t just sit facing forward~”
“…I don’t want to sit next to you.”
“It’s not next to me~. Look.”
I patted my thigh.
“This spot’s free, right?”
“…”
Thud!
“Ow!”
A flying kick to my shin after so long.
Dammit! I was hoping she’d sit down by mistake, but no such luck!
Huh? Did she think it was a joke? I was kinda hoping she would.
“Excuse me~. Could you swap me for a slightly nicer girl? My shin is screaming in pain.”
I addressed the three people next to me.
“We don’t have that kind of system here.”
The waiter, Saotome, flatly refused me.
Why can’t you switch servers at this place? I’m starting to wonder about this establishment.
“…”
Wait, why did you come over here? Why did you come over but seem a bit annoyed? If you don’t like me, you shouldn’t have come.
Did I mess up the start of this training camp?
