Chapter 1837 My reputation precedes me

?1837 My reputation precedes me

The cooking continued and when the clock ticked eight o’clock, we finished our second task.

After that short event with Maaya and Class 3 representatives, nothing relevant happened anymore. I returned with my girls after helping Kobayashi and we finished our chicken porridge perfectly.

Naturally, my girls and I also used that chance to bond.

Hina and Chii acted a little bolder. They kept on sticking close to me. At times, they’d surprise me with a hug while I was busy checking the status of our task. Kanzaki was a little reserved though. However, whenever an opportunity arose, her straightforwardness would once again shine.

We probably gathered a lot of attention by doing that. But that’s fine, we did nothing excessive anyway. It’s just pretty much the same as how I treated Maaya.

Before long, Shiina, along with the camp managers took over for us. They carried the food and prepared them on a long table before calling for us to announce the completion of our task.

Since we’re the ones who made it, they let us get our food first before telling the others to line up with their plates and bowls as the students tasked to serve it switched places with us.

As this would be the last event before we became separated by gender, my girls immediately secured a spot where we could all gather. Ignoring all the attention drawn to us, we had a nice breakfast together.

Maaya, Misaki, Rae and Komoe also joined us. And by extension, Sachi, Watanabe and Kaede also didn’t miss the fun.

Even Umeda thought she could squeeze in but at that point, our group already became large enough for someone else to join.

At one point, Shiina and Sara hovered over our table. They’re probably wondering why I am the only guy around a group of women.

When our gazes met, I tried inviting them to join us.

I mean, rather than be wary of their curiosity about me, I decided to just deal with them normally and shamelessly.

It’s quite effective.

Shiina and Sara backed away while laughing awkwardly, making a lot of other students confused.

My girls didn’t miss that detail, of course. With Nami bringing it up first, I reminded them of that hiking trip I went on with Miwa-nee. I told them the tale of how I helped carry Sara on my back while Shiina worried about her friend.

The innocent forehead girl showered me with praise right away while the other girls had meaningful smiles on their faces. It’s like they’re already calculating whether I would eventually get entangled closely with those two or not.

The boys were pointed to the left path while the girls were to the right.

With Sawano and the rest of the male camp managers guiding us, the sight of the girls soon disappeared.

Upon arriving at the vicinity of the cabins, Sawano turned around to announce another reminder.

“Alright. I believe you’re already informed about this but the cabin you will be assigned to is where you’re going to stay until tomorrow. Get along with your roommates and do not start a fight. The rules will remain the same.”

After saying that, Sarah’s boyfriend stepped out and opened the rolled-up schedule for this Camping Trip.

I read them all and noted that we’re going to have free time in between different activities. However, the activities will continue until deep into the night. We’re supposed to be in the cabin at 11 pm. And tomorrow, we are supposed to wake up at 4 am. Lastly, the camp will end at 4 pm.

Almost instantly, everyone groaned at seeing how packed it was. But for me, I memorized them all, especially in our free time. That’s my chance to find my girls, no?

Besides... I could very well sacrifice sleep to see my girls. But then again, shouldn’t I let them rest after an exhausting day? Well, I’ll think about it later.

After a while, Sawano continued with his reminders while pointing at the schedule.

“In your free time, you can ask one of us for permission to go out. Do not sneak out without permission or we will place you under heavy monitoring. Also, this is important. Do not sneak into the girl’s side. I know some of you are already thinking about having a tryst with your girlfriends or just looking at them. Stop that thought right away. Keep it in your pants for a day.”

Sawano smirked at the end. And somehow, I could feel his gaze landing on me. Furthermore, everyone came to the same conclusion that the reminder was heavily focused on me. If their gaze could cut, I’d be chopped to pieces by the feeling of being stared at by all of them.

Uh... What can I say? My reputation precedes me. And I’m a bastard who already stopped hiding whatever connection or closeness I have with them.

Scratching my cheek, I put on an awkward smile and broke the sudden tension in the air, “Understood. I’ll ask for permission to see my girls. Am I allowed to do that?”

“Oi! You brat!”

Almost instantly, someone shouted at the side of the camp managers, reacting to what I said.

Then, a second later, a series of laughter ensued. They simply took my words as a joke.

“Oh? Did I say something wrong?” I followed up, acting oblivious.

Sawano shook her head and smiled, possibly thinking that I was trying to lift the heavy mood. Due to that, he rode that ‘joke’.

“No. You’re allowed to do that, Onoda. Just remember not to see them all at once. Do it in moderation. Keep it one with just one at a time. You don’t want to get beaten up by girls, do you?”

There, another series of laughter ensued. The only ones not laughing were those in the know like Sakuma, Ogawa, Tadano, Fukuda, and Miyoshi.

Let’s see. I might really be able to use this to sneak out and visit them because of this. I’ll give Sawano a 5-star rating as a reliable Camp Manager.
