Book 2: Chapter 6: Part 1

Another bonus chapter for this week, thanks to Patrons, enjoy~Part 1

The training with Luna was over, and it was the day of the field trip. Ive never had the pleasure of participating in a school event like this before, so I was so excited like a child that I couldnt get to sleep the night before. But I was able to get up in the morning as usual with no problems at all due to my improved body. What a convenient body

Anyway, after preparing the necessary things and properly greeting Night, I left my house in high spirits.

Yes, its my win.

Goddamn it!

And now we spent our time playing on the bus to the field trip location. I didnt bring any cards or anything like that, but Akira, Rin and the others had prepared snacks as well as games for us so that we wouldnt be bored.

Rather, since I didnt bring any games or snacks, I feel very sorry for them seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Why! Why cant I win? Why do I always have the old maid at the end?

Its because its so obvious on your face

Akira-kun, youre well-liked by the old maid!

I dont like it!

Just now, we were still playing old maid, but Akira kept losing in consecutive games.

More importantly, Yuuya-kun, thats amazing! Youve come in first place every time

Thats not true. Its just all a fluke.

And somehow I didnt draw a single old maid, and I always drew a card that matched my hand, so it was over in an instant.

Maybe, but I think its related to my luck status. Because every time I try to draw a card

This card no, wait. Im not sure why, but I dont think this card is good. On the contrary, theres a good feeling coming from this card and I think Ill take this one.

And so I had a tremendous hunch and kept winning yeah, its not fun. If thats the case, then I guess I wont be able to enjoy these games from now on. Being lucky is supposed to be a good thing, but Im not very happy about it. Besides, sorry, I feel like Im cheating I wonder, if I play any games that involve luck, will they be like this from now on?

While feeling the unexpected negative effects, I suddenly remembered the fire at the department store the other day.

Now, Kaede and the others are here laughing like this, but it was really dangerous at that time I shudder to think if I hadnt gotten any skills or anything else in another world. Im delighted I was able to save them.

And so we headed off to the field trip in an amicable atmospherewithout knowing that its harder than we expected.

Its big

The place they brought us to was like an inn on top of a mountain. I wonder if this is where were going to have our field trip? As I thought that, the homeroom teacher of each class called for a meeting.

Hey, lets gather here! I will explain everything to you. Oh, you should split up into groups!

As we sat down in groups as instructed by the teacher, Sawada-sensei looked over at us and grinned.

Now then you guys are gonna have to do some survival.

Huh? everyone screamed in a daze.

The teachers words drew everyones attention. Then one of the students immediately asked a question.

W-what do you mean by survival? Theres a building that looks like an inn, and were going to stay there, right?

What are you talking about? This inn is a facility for teachers to stay, you know?

Huh? T-then, what about us?

Of course, youll be outside.

No way!

Sawada-senseis words left all the students speechless. A-are we really going into survival?

I told you in school that this field trip is training for you to run for the elite path in the future, didnt I? Ill continue to explain. You guys will be given the bare minimum amount of supplies, and then you guys will spend two days and one night in an outdoor camp. As for your bath, there is a hot spring somewhere in the mountains on these grounds, so you can find it and use it. You can use the hot springs, so be thankful!

Eeeeehhhhhh!? Everyone screamed at the unexpected development.

No, Im pretty sure I heard it was some kind of camping thing, but I didnt expect to sleep outside I mean, The teacher said shed only give us the bare essentials, but does that mean.

There seemed to be some people who came up with the same conclusion as me and asked a question again.

U-um! Could it be that the cooking is also

Of course youll have to prepare your own food. You can use all the vegetation such as mushrooms and wild grasses that grow in this area.

No way!

Seriously, theyre gonna make us do that? I mean, isnt there a dangerous mushroom, too?

Were being provided with the bare minimum amount of rice, and thats all we will have. Thats not even enough to fill our stomachs.

No, I think its safer to put up with that for now

I thought the same thing, but thats where the teacher turned serious.

Unfortunately, its not just one competition, you know? Its a class competition too.

C-class competition?

Somehow the story has gotten bigger.

As you may know, except for Tenjou, the School Festival held in the fall is a big event with lots of visitors. There, each class has its own stall and the budget allocation is determined by this competition. In other words, if you have a good result in this survival, youll be one step ahead of the rest of the class, and make a gorgeous program at the school festival.

S-so thats how it works but am I crazy to think it sounds interesting? It would have never happened at my previous high school, and no other high school would have had this format.

And it would be related to a bonus for us teachers, too! Do your best as if you were going to die!

Isnt that what you really want? Everyone in the class complained.

No, wait, that determines even the teachers bonus? Anything is related now!

B-but arent mushrooms dangerous? And the only things that can be found here are mushrooms and wild grasses so how is the competition going to work?

Since theres a river, you can catch any fish you want. You have to bring the collected things to the teacher, and well sort them out and grade them. The class that collects the most non-dangerous ingredients and cooks the tastiest meal wins. By the way, you cant go back to pick up the ingredient because well only grade it once. Dont cook and eat the food youve collected without showing it to the teacher, you hear me? And also, I wont be responsible if youre dead.

Its scary, right? Hey.

Everyone is determined, perhaps the teachers threats got through to them, or maybe theyre all in the mood to properly show the teacher what theyre made of. But, well, the teacher said she wouldnt grade you otherwise.

Well, if you happen to be poisoned, the school doctor, Dr.Yomikawa will treat you. I dont know if thats fine though

At the moment the teacher said that, a ghostly woman in a white coat suddenly appeared. She has beautiful black hair, but it was stretched forward long enough to hide her face, and only her left eye was peeking out through her hair.

Hihihi p-please dont worry w-with this medicine h-hihihi

Can I really be relieved? Just look at the colour of the pills in her hand! Its purple! Isnt that a poison pill instead?

I dont mean to criticize peoples names, but Yomikawa also means unfortunate. [T/n: = Yomi = Underground world/hades/hell, etc.]

Its the first time Ive seen the schools doctor, and her personality is just too explosive. The other teachers are somehow also very quirky no, its fine because their teaching style is very good and interesting.

When I was inwardly complaining about various things, Kaede taught me while trembling.

A-anone Yuuya-kun might not know this, but the infirmary where Dr.Yomikawa is located is always covered in darkness, and whenever you walk by, you can always hear someone screaming so no one wants to get close, and no one gets a temporary medical treatment either

Whats with that novelty infirmary.

Thats awesome, right? But as a result, if the students are taking their classes seriously and taking care of themselves from illnesses and injuries, wouldnt that be a good thing? I dont know about the scream, though.

What Kaede said seems to be true, and as I look around, I see that every student is determined to show the teacher what they are going to do more than they did earlier. Yup, I guess its all right.

Are you getting the gist of it? In the meantime, Ill give you a picture book of wild vegetables and such, so do your best for my bonus. And secondly, its for the school festival too.

You should be the second! Said everyone.

Thats exactly right. Aside from the teachers bonus, if we accumulate points by winning this competition, we can put on a spectacular display at the school festival, so lets do our best.

We received the bare minimum amount of items from the teacher and gathered in groups once.

Now what should we do?

Dont worry! I can do go fishing, gather mushrooms and other edible wild plants, and.

Forgetting this idiot, dont you think we should split up?

Split up?

When Rin suggested that, she took out the illustration book and fishing rod.

Yuuya and Kaede will go fishing, while this idiot and I go and collect mushrooms and other edible wild plants. That would be more efficient, right?

Yeah, certainly I dont mind.

Fishing, huh.Im not sure I can handle it since Ive never done it before.

I havent experienced it either, but I think I can handle it. Lets just do our best!

Okaaayy! Said Kaede and Rin in unison.

Hello? Isnt everyone cruel to me? Hey, are you listening to me?

While only Akira is left behind, we decide on our future course of action and start assembling the tent first.
