Chapter 1851 Assistance (2)
?1851 Assistance (2)
With everything falling into place, I soon got dragged into the first group of girls. They’re from Class 2 whose names I have no recollection of. Although I knew them by their faces, this would be the first time we were going to talk beyond greeting them ‘good morning’ or ‘hi’ whenever I ran into any of them in the hallways.
When Shiina took a step back to hand me to them, the girls immediately surrounded and flanked me on both sides. The supposed leader of the group grabbed my arm and daringly pressed herself closer, letting my arm be buried in her springy valley. She’s not bad but I truly had no idea who she was.
Then, someone else followed her example which led me to be subjected to what most boys would already consider a paradise; both of my arms sunken in their softness. If I was a protagonist in an anime, I would probably be bleeding on my nose by now. Too bad though, this was already a normal occurrence for me.
I heard Shiina chuckling from behind. The sight must be amusing for her. When she noticed my gaze on her, she made a V sign and stuck her tongue cutely.
For sure, her impression of me already veered off from the gentleman they met on the mountain trail. In her eyes, I turned into this mysterious yet popular high school boy who kept on arousing her interest. If I encountered her instead of Sara earlier, I doubt she would have missed the chance to properly dig into that growing interest in me.
Anyway, apart from Shiina, everyone whose attention was focused on us had varying reactions. Some mouthed ‘shameless’ in our direction. Some looked on in envy or hate whichever was prevalent. And some found it too amusing.
On the other hand, my girls were all glaring at them, especially Satsuki and Nami. As we were being careful to not cause any disruption in the order of things, they could only begrudgingly busy themselves on what they were doing and wait for me to reach them.
Mhm. I should do something to make up for that. Even if there’s Shiina around, it should be possible for me to spoil them out of her sight. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Soon, the other two girls from Class 2 pushed on my back and they all guided me by hand to their tent. Looking at its state, it’s only at 50% completion.
I thought they would ask me to help them build it but they started barraging me with questions that I managed to answer collectively in just a few sentences. They’re really that curious about me. And with my public persona being someone easy to talk to, I couldn’t shut them down bluntly. At least, I managed to stop them from prying too much.
Although unsatisfied with my vague answers, I kind of fell into a state of handling them expertly.
I guess I owe that to the experience I built over the years and with my girls who were always around me. My trait of being considerate to every girl was already working passively. Even if I didn’t mean it, as long as I wasn’t in a bad mood or in a situation where I didn’t want to deal with the other person, I would act in a way that fits with a girl’s mood.
Because of that, even without favoring one over another, I got into excellent speaking terms with them when they exhausted all their questions. I got their names but I’d probably not be using them anytime soon. Furthermore, they even voluntarily told me their preferences on a lot of things – even underwear. Of course, they didn’t show me what they were wearing. That will be too much for them.
That might just be being too cautious but I was just trying to count every possibility. With Shiina around, we could truly avoid some trouble.
“Geez. Are you getting attached to me now, Onoda-kun? I don’t mind if you also help me out later. I’ll show you around our cabin.”
“You can’t joke like that, Shiina-san. I might take you up on that offer.”
“Heh. Daring, are we? I’m serious though. If you have time to wander around again later, come and find me.”
She’s also straightforward, huh? She’d be surprised if I told her that I already got a closer look at their cabin.
After putting on the same teasing smile, my answer was delivered in a whisper, “I’ll consider it.”
As soon as I blew air into her ear, Shiina almost pushed me to the side in reflex. Looking at her face was a mix of being spooked and flustered.
She bit her lips and lightly hit my shoulder before whispering in an unusually subdued voice, “... I’m extremely ticklish on my ear. Don’t do that again.”
Alright. That’s an unexpectedly charming side of her
“Noted.”
I’ll do that again later.
Omitting that last sentence, I put on a reassuring smile before dragging her with me this time.
Before long, we soon arrived at the half-completed tent being tended by the three high-spirited gals and one seemingly out-
of-place blooming flower.
“Kii! Is it our turn?”
“You’re finally here...”
Chii and Hana didn’t miss a beat at welcoming me into their side while An-rin and Kushii stood behind them.
