(*Yuzuha’s point of view)
(ugh …… still scary)
A short while after the test had begun.
I was walking slowly along the darkened mountain path alone.
“Hiii!”
The grass shook with a rustling sound.
…… I’m honestly scared of dark places, so much so that I get frightened just by this.
(It’s not so much that I’m afraid of dark places, but that I’m afraid of haunted places because they’re dark. ……)
I’ve only been this scared since I used to get carried away and watch horror films with Tsukkun.
I couldn’t get the ghosts I saw then out of my head, so I naturally …… ended up where I am now.
“H-Hold on tight, me ……!”
Yes, I’m walking now for the first years.
I have to look around like this to make sure everyone can have fun safely.
There may be children who have gone off route, or who have injured themselves in the dark.
So far, the first-years I’ve passed have seemed to be enjoying their test, so it’s fine.
At this rate, I’ll have to keep looking around until the last group reaches the finish line…
(It’s been quite a while since then, maybe halfway….?)
Periodically, progress reports are given from time to time in the group chat I created for this event.
This is to eliminate the “It was over before I knew it!” and also to avoid the situation where the group says ‘this group was supposed to be on their way, but they didn’t reach the goal’.
Incidentally, it was Shi-chan-senpai who proposed this idea and called for it. I think I should learn from her.
(Even so, it’s really deteriorating. ……)
I Shine a light on the bushes a little further on.
Even though it’s managed, this is a mountain to camp on.
Naturally, there are some unmaintained areas and some strange terrain.
The area I shone my light on probably has a steep slope or a slight cliff.
The evidence of this is the fences that have been laid down – but they are rusty and have holes in them, which makes me a bit uneasy. Not everything, though, I suppose.
(Well, I wouldn’t normally go to a place like that)
It’s dark and there’s nothing there.
No one would go out of their way to go there at a time like this.
(Okay, spirit! Keep going like this, I’ll make my rounds till the end!)
I get into the spirit and start walking ahead.
Then, from a little distance away, I hear another sound…
“Bya!?”
I was so startled that I almost fell off my haunches.
But I involuntarily stay where I am.
“…….”
Because the sound sounded like someone’s voice.
I wondered, turned my head a little wary and slowly approached, trying not to make a sound.
“You’re just being nice because he confessed to you, aren’t you?”
“Really, you’re really snotty about it.”
“I-I don’t ……!”
I listened carefully, so I could finally hear the voices.
It sounded like some kind of struggle. And only one voice sounded familiar.
(Maybe she’s being abused ……?)
I have a feeling of that.
Because what I heard was Aira chan’s frightened voice. I definitely don’t think it’s because I’m scared of this dark place.
The evidence is that the other girls’ voices are strong and make you cringe just listening to them. I don’t know if it’s something she doesn’t want to be heard, but she doesn’t even turn on the light.
(I don’t want to get too involved in first year relationships, but ……)
To begin with, the girls are in an unmaintained area away from the route.
There should be a fence over their backs, and if something goes wrong, it’s not going to be easy.
So I point the light I have at those girls.
“What are you doing in a place like this?!”
When I shone the light on them, the girls turned around at once.
One of them’s shoulder hits Aira chan’s shoulder.
And then, with a thump, Aira-chan’s body was pushed…
“…… Eh?”
Aira chan’s body began to lean, breaking the fence.
(No ……!)
I rushed out and grabbed Aira-chan’s arm.
It was a good thing I was close to her. If not, Aira chan’s body, which was leaning, would have gone over the fence.
(Really, it’s dangerous ……!)
Underneath the fence, which was laid down at the very edge, was a cliff with no view ahead.
I can’t even tell how far down there is from here.
For the time being, I held on and pulled Aira-chan’s body up.
Then…
“……….Ah”
The Other hand.
The fence I was gripping to hold on to …… broke.
A sudden feeling of floating attacked me.
Fortunately, after pulling Aira chan up.
But …… this really,
(Don’t worry …… I’ll never regret it!)
If I were the prince, I would definitely do this.
Even if it turns out like this, no matter what happens after this, I will never regret what I did……!?
“B-Bah!?”
Immediately afterwards, a violent shock hit my body, as if I had been slammed.
“M-Minase-senpai!?”
“I-Isn’t this bad?”
“If it turns out that we did it, let’s run away quickly. ……!”
It doesn’t end there.
My body rolled on the ground over and over again, and I didn’t even know where it hurt because of cuts, scrapes, and bumps.
Finally, a tree hits me in the stomach as hard as it can, and my rolling body finally stops.
“Gehok…gah……!”
I tried to get up, but I couldn’t.
That’s how much I couldn’t move my body as much as I wanted to right after I finished rolling over.
“Ah …….”
Once again, the pain hit my whole body.
I looked up at the cloudy, not at all beautiful sky and…
“That hurts. …… Mouu”
Suddenly, I remembered the past.
At that time, my prince was also in pain like this,……
