Chapter 49 - Lovey-dovey Team

What, tents on a rather close uninhabited island?
Wait, wait, you"re not planning to camp, right? Despite the absence of any changing clothes? Do you plan to sleep in swimsuits inside the tent?

If my aunt, who is an ardent outdoor person, heard this, she would start a safety lesson in a frenzy…
Therefore, let me state my professional opinion. Don"t you dare underestimate camping.

However, as if sensing my bewilderment, Ririksan with her red ponytail said,

– Mm? What are you worrying about? This is not an uninhabited island, nor is it a floating island. It is an adjacent beach. You can pick necessary stuff later.

– Th-, that so…

– Also. With so many ordinary guests around, you can"t let everyone play, right?

Well, that"s true. Seducers are troublesome.
The sea is, um, sea. A group of excited surfers are just like very high level monsters for the high school students. Underage girls shouldn"t be thrown into such a s.p.a.ce. Rather than a camp, it has a bigger nuance of being a segregation.

The boats all a.s.sembled one after another.
Being able to occupy a beach with no people on it, guys of our cla.s.s started noisily chattering. Still, they probably want to do some outdoor activities now that there are tents…

Poke, my b.u.t.t got poked.
As I turned around, Hyoudou Yayoi was sinisterly grinning.

– Yo, master Ichijou! Fufu… Karen"s boyfriend?

… Seeing this triumphant face, various stuff is probably her doing.
Such an unrestrained Tachibana, no matter how you look at it, it was my first time seeing it. Just how do you inspire a person to become like that?

– What"s that, ain"t I a prince now. That was a d.a.m.n public execution!

– Eeh. Then… are you angry? Should I make her stop?

– Ugh, that is…

I am angry? Am I angry? I couldn"t say so right away.
In order to clearly say so, that situation, I would have to… No. It was so fun, there"s no way I can say that as well!
Still, just remembering it.
The itchy feeling… I have admitted it as a kind of joy just yesterday, and now that itchiness inside my chest boils with an inexhaustible supply.

– Well, it would be troublesome if you gave up just from that amount. Yeah, I will be starting some things again

– Some things…?

– That is, a game that will turn the bookworm of the wilds into a prince?

Bookworm of the wilds…?
Come to think of it, when I first met with this girl, she called me like that…

Anyway, at her order, cla.s.s spread in this sandy place a.s.sembled.
Rules are simple. With teams of four decided, boys and girls have to respectively set up the tents and do the BBQ with charcoal or something.

– Boys, show us your manly side, alriiight? Because boys and girls who don"t partic.i.p.ate in the test of courage, will be given the roles of the ghosts instead

The team which makes the most tasty outdoorish meal wins, or so she says.
What the heck is that. If we"re not fishing or something, we definitely have to go to a supermarket. It"s not outdoor or anything.

– Well then, let"s start the lottery without delay!

Cla.s.s was excitedly shouting "Ooh!" and "Yaaay!"
Gathered together with guys having familiar faces at the beach in the middle of the summer… Only now I got surprised. Cheerful voices in the vicinity gradually faded together with the buzz in my ears.

Such a situation, I wouldn"t believe it even in my dreams.
No, I can a.s.sert that I only hoped for it.
Summer holidays were no more than playing games in the dust filled room either alone or as two. I still can"t believe it. To the point that I wonder if I will return to my own room if I blink one more time.
Not in the swim shorts, but in pajamas, having bed hair…

But right now, Tachibana is so close.
I am honestly delighted. I"m happy! It"s like a dream come true! What happened? Even though earlier, I would be obstinate and persuade myself that it is nothing special.

– Jun…?

No, no, if it was me from a little while ago, yesterday, I would probably run away when she advanced to me with a great number of cla.s.smates around.
And yet, seeing Tachibana, my body moves of its own accord as if it has to face her… it"s this situation.

Summer, sea, together with Tachibana.
Not good, me. Don"t jump the gun, haven"t you been together all the time since the first term? Summer and sea, just what"s so special about it?
Yet, and yet! She has been so happy since yesterday…

… What happens when the two of us are together, everybody has seen it. Mysteriously, an uplifting feeling surges inside me.
… But right now, I might want to be alone with her just a little bit.
… As I want to put something into clear words, a whirlpool swirls at the bottom of my stomach.

– Oh, come on, Jun!

– …… T, Tachibana!

As I came to my senses, a blonde girl with red cheeks stood before my eyes.
She gallantly and loveably held her hand in front of her big chest. Cleavage can be seen right there, shiny white skin… stop, d.a.m.n virgin! Really, absolutely, any more than this is seriously not allowed.

– Ehehe, Jun and I, we"re in the same team, you know?

– Humph… Well, it should have happened so

– I say, it"s fate. Hey, we"re in front of everyone, you know? They can see us?

Tachibana put her hand on my wrist without any hesitation.
That"s right, in front of everyone. To show everyone how we get along, I have just suggested doing so if you like. As expected, I didn"t think it would be unrestrained to this extent.

– I ended up showing it. In truth, for a long time, I wanted to do it like that, you know. Lovey-dovey expose…

If she makes such a satisfied face, then there was worth in my execution.
No, is it truly unpleasant for me? I"m tolerating it because I want to see Tachibana"s happy face, is it really only that?
It will get exposed. It will get lovey-dovey exposed…
A strange feeling of fear and pleasure being the opposite sides of the same coin ran along my spine.

– I-, Ichijou-kun!

– Karen and Ichijou-kun! Oh, you two!

Rushing over from behind Tachibana were Komatsu-kun and Tenjuin-san.
My loner mate doesn"t really seem so, but cla.s.s president seems angry. She puffed up her cheeks with folded arms and serious face.

– Er… Everyone is looking, okay? Now that we are in the same team, I want you to consider it a little, or something

– No way… Momoko is in the same team? Aren"t we invincible then? Jun is together too… Is it then one they call lovey-dovey team?

– Karen! That one just earlier was too much. Sitting on Ichijou-kun"s lap in swimsuit… Ecchi. Everyone is there okay?

– N-, now, now… Hey, Ichijou-kun, let"s put up the tent!

Komatsu-kun b.u.t.ted in.
Nice timing. Honestly, if any more is dug up, I"ll die from shame, so I want it to stop. On Ichijou-kun"s lap in swimsuit, don"t say that. Now that she expressly said it, I"m feeling so embarra.s.sed.

– Ye-, yeah… Let"s finish that, quickly

Escaping to work is a usual measure from my days as loner.
I"ll get killed again anyway. Running away while I still can, I quickly walked towards the tent.
