160 – School Trip
Get on the train. As I looked around the empty seats to see where I should sit, I saw Yuuki waving his hand.
“Here~!”
Without thinking, Yuuki approached and sat down and said with a grin.
“Hey. “I can finally catch my breath now.”
It was a school trip right after the exam. It was like a reward for us who had gone through a difficult study group.
I wondered if I could relax like this. It was a natural course for second year students to go on a field trip in the middle of the second semester, so I couldn’t be the only one who missed it.

“You can just come back.”
Seo-ah spoke calmly and crossed her arms.
“I am a first year student. “Don’t worry, I’m still in school.”
“I’m worried about that.”
“What?”
Turn her head and pretend not to notice.
The day before the school trip.
As someone who had to keep watching Yanase’s movements, I couldn’t help but be concerned.
She is very hostile towards her and stays at her school with her sister, Yanase, whom she dislikes.
At this point, all I could do was worry about what trouble might arise.
“I will go to school normally and spend time with my friends. “There is no way I would ever get tangled up with that b*tch.”
“I hope so.”
Now that she saw Seo-ah not even calling her by her first name or calling her ‘teacher’, she became even more concerned.
“You said you would follow your ideas. “What are you so worried about?”
“I’m relieved if you say yes.”
Because the characters in this world have never acted the way I wanted them to.
He always deviated from the norm, causing trouble and embarrassing me.
She knows that she is in the same position as me, but she is just her, and there is no way she will listen to me.
“True. “Do you think I’m that young?”
With her sigh, Seo-ah approached me.
“Huh? Why?”
She took a step back, but her arms reached out without hesitation.
She closed her eyes, thinking she was going to be squeezed or hit.
“What is this hair from this morning?”
When I opened her eyes carefully, I saw her looking up and touching my head.
“Look in the mirror and come out. “You’re too stretched out.”
“Oh, yes.”
Is that so?
She went to school early in the morning, so she often talked to Seo-ah, so she always got up and came out in a hurry.
“Only at this point will my girlfriend get sick of me and leave me.”
“hahahaha. Maybe….”
Because her self-care is important.
After grumbling and patting my head, this time she patted her shoulder and tied her loose tie.
“Yes. It’s okay.”
Seo-ah, who was one step away, looked at me intently.
“Don’t worry and have a nice trip.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t forget to buy a gift.”
She nods her head.
Looking at her surprisingly calm appearance, I felt like I could trust her and come back.
“Thank you, Seo-ya.”
In the past, when people expressed her gratitude, she was shy and would turn her head away or yell at others as if to hide her embarrassment. She nodded her head, silent for now.
“Because this is a trip. “Let’s make more lover-like memories with Haruna.”
“Ah… what….”
It’s a group trip, but this time I decided to go with Haruna’s group.
On the contrary, I felt embarrassed, but Seo-ah calmly left the rooftop.
“Okay then.”
Waving her hand, she closed the door.
For some reason, Seo-ah felt different from usual that day, but I sent her away with a strange feeling that I couldn’t explain specifically.
***
“That’s right.”
What was different about Seo-ah that day?
As I sat in the train car on my school trip, I suddenly realized something.
“Huh? What?”
“No, no.”
I shook my head at Yuuki and remembered.
We talked about harem plans and other things, but I told him to spend quality time with Haruna. Seo-ah has never cheered me on like that.
That was because she disapproved of the relationship between me and the heroine.
Seo-ah also wants to become close friends with the heroines. First, she was jealous of me for coming into this world, becoming friends with them, and even becoming lovers.
But now we are actually cheering?
I didn’t feel any feelings of jealousy or sarcasm.
I felt strange seeing Seo-ah who was different from usual.
“Why are you so lost in thought?”
I saw Yuuki rustling while looking this way with a snack in her mouth.
Well, there is no point in considering this now.
“Are you already eating snacks?”
“Do you want to eat too?”
Haruna looked over Yuuki’s shoulder, who was muttering as he put his hand in the bag of snacks.
“Yu-kun~ Minsu~”
Her Yuuki turned around and looked at her and shouted loudly. I couldn’t understand what she was saying because her mouth was full of sweets.
“Eungeoungeook! “Huh?”
“Yu-kun. I do not know what I mean.”
“Ugh?”
Crubble crumbs fall out of Yuuki’s mouth as he chews the snack.
“Oh really~ Yuu-kun. Stand up for a moment. Hurry.”
Yuki stood up holding a bag of snacks. One day I pushed the back into her outer passage.
“This is my place.”
And then he gently sat down next to me.
I thought you were trying to clean up the fallen snacks.
Yuki swallowed the snack and shouted.
“What are you doing! “I sat down first!”
“It’s Yuu-kun. “Isn’t it natural for me to sit next to Minsu wherever he goes?”
A long, red ponytail swayed behind the disintegrating Yuuki.

“Come on Bikishi~!”
Poor Yuuki.
Ignoring Yuuki, who was pushed away while holding a bag of snacks in her arms, Shiraishi sat across from me in the four-person seat.
“It will be a good trip. “This is my first school trip!”
“Yes. “Let’s have fun.”
Yuki looked with disapproval at Shiraishi, who was shouting with sparkling eyes, and sighed.
“Yes~ Yes~ Someone is very popular~ I am a sinner for daring to sit next to him.”
Then the only seat left was the seat next to Shiraishi.
Yuki, who had no choice but to sit there, suddenly rose into the air.
“Huh?”
“Excuse me.”
Elena lifted the struggling Yuuki and carried him to the aisle and sat down there.
“Wow! “Elena, you’re going too!”
“Of course. “I am the lady’s escort maid.”
Guarding maidra. It was a combination of words that didn’t seem to fit at first glance, but after seeing the various weapons hidden under Elena’s skirt, I had no choice but to understand.
Yuki, with his mouth wide open, ended up sitting on the other side with the other male students.
“I’m somehow sorry. “Yuuki.”
“No… Have a good time….”
I waved my hand at Yuuki, feeling like I had done something bad.
On the train that departed like that, we admired the scenery outside the window, and as we passed through the underground tunnel, Shiraishi, whining that he was scared and hugging me, actually started a fuss when he saw Yuuki, who had secretly joined in.
I enjoyed the harmonious school event.
When I arrived at my travel destination, I went into my accommodation and unpacked my luggage.
While chatting with Yuuki in the double room, I asked without thinking.
“You know, Yuuki.”
“Uh. Why?”
“This is your first school trip, right?”
“Huh?”
He tilted his head and looked at me.
“What are you talking about? I went there even when I was in middle school. “Minsu, have you never had any experience?”
“Oh, no. It did. Sorry.”
I told nonsense. I smiled trying to erase my embarrassment.
“Because it’s my first time. “I wonder if you are like that too, Yuuki.”
“What, the middle school you went to didn’t even go on a field trip?”
No, I mean…. I keep telling lame lies.
Of course, this is my first school trip in this world.
I couldn’t say that, so I waved my hands and made an excuse.
They said they couldn’t go before because they were sick….
Luckily, Yuuki didn’t have any doubts and believed me.
“Aha. Okay? Then you can enjoy it this time.”
Yuki smiled cheerfully and tapped my shoulder.
“That’s right.”
I also agreed and finished unpacking.
In the world of the original work, Yuuki does not go on a school trip.
There is no way Yuuki in such a broken mental state could participate in a group trip.
Yuuki, who remains at school with Yanase, becomes closer to them there.
And Yuuki finds great comfort there.
However, it was rather poisonous to him.
Yuuki’s mind was healed and instead of moving forward into the world, Yuuki became a person who retreated further into the darkness.
When he thought of that world, he couldn’t help but compare it to how it is now.
“Besides, we are high school students.”
Yuuki said with a grin.
“Why high school students?”
“I am much older than when I was in middle school and there are a lot of things I can do.”
“Please don’t do anything stupid.”
Like stealing a bath.
Infiltrating a woman’s room.
I didn’t want to get caught up in such a sloppy commotion and be punished by going out into the hallway.
“Well, look forward to it.”
I leave the room with a giggling Yuuki. I was on my way downstairs in time for the meeting.
Someone tapped my shoulder.
“Huh? “Haruna?”
Or Shiraishi?
When I turned my back without thinking, I was shocked and stopped in place.
“What? Uh? Uh!?”
Yuuki, who had turned around with me, made a fuss and started shouting.
In front of us is Yanase in civilian clothes.
“Hello~”
He was smiling and waving his hands.
I thought you were still in school.
“Teacher! “What’s going on?”
An excited Yuuki approached Yanase and started talking to him.
I lowered my head as I watched Yanase answer that question.
That’s right. After all, it won’t be easy.
This was the first time she had seen her since the time when she had a huge conflict with Yuuko.
Yanase, who was dealing with the gathered students and Yuuki, suddenly looked this way.
And then he smiled faintly.
