Chapter 2204: Revising the Creative Activity
As there was no running away from a woman's intuition, I came prepared when we showed up in Ryouko-san's office. She might not notice that we carry the scent of each other but it was easy to infer from our faces and the fact that we arrived together.
Nonetheless, Ryouko-san only gave us a long stare without prying too much into it. They had already talked and understood their link with me.
Instead of being vocal about the degree of our closeness or what she picked up, Ryouko-san communicated with me through her eyes and I understood it.
Even with Orimura-sensei in the same room, I walked over to her, kissed her with the same passion I had shown her friend, and guided her down to her couch. She sat between my legs, my arms intimately wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly.
No doubt, a sense of awkwardness filled the air because of this. But Orimura-sensei also didn't say anything and simply looked the other way.
It was a little strained, I know. If the people involved weren't us, this would've already gone chaotic. Alas, it was the three of us and this became the result.
Orimura-sensei was feeling guilty while Ryouko-san was feeling jealous. However, the two of them chose not to show it on the surface and instead used my presence to convey those emotions.
Hence, the current situation.
"What's on your mind, Ruki-kun?" With a pen in her hand and a lesson plan spread out in front of her, Ryouko-san turned her head toward me.
"How to help you effectively today, Ryouko-san."
"Is that all?"
"Well, I'm also thinking about how to dispel this awkwardness."
"Your honesty is timeless." Ryouko-san giggled before catching my lips for another kiss. Afterward, she continued, "You're the only one who feels this is awkward. You and Sanae can have your privacy. I won't pry into it. I'm just feeling a little jealous, so bear with me, okay?"
"How can I not? I'm the source of this awkwardness and jealousy. It should be me making amends."
"Stop with that thought, Ruki-kun. I'll scold you more for that if you continue. Instead... let's go finish this. You still have to change to your PE uniform. And Sanae, remember what I told you. Come here, I need your input too."
"... I have no words. You're really something else, Ryouko." Orimura-sensei shook her head with a smile.
With the three of us working together, the activity began to take shape. We discussed how to arrange the relay checkpoints, deciding that there would be four in total. Each station would have a different task, alternating between physical and mental challenges.
In the end, we settled on the following:
Station 1 will be a test of speed and agility. It will be the most normal. A classic sprint relay, but the students had to navigate a small obstacle course with cones. The helper can remove a few obstacles for the runner.
Station 2 will be a memory test. It will be the usual memory game where the runner will memorize a sequence of colors. The helper will be waiting with the answer sheet on hand at the end. They have two chances to fill a correct color in the sequence if the runner gets
stumped.
Station 3 will just be balancing a ball on their arms. Both the runner and helper have to carry it
to the next runner.
And for Station 4, the last station will be a blindfold game. The runner has to put on a blindfold and allow the helper to guide them to the goal.
Just looking at it, it feels too much, no? But I could already see the potential fun of that
activity.
Since the activity will be for both Class 1 and 3, there will be at least ten participants for each
team. Five runners and five helpers.
There will be three matches.
Boys vs Boys.
Girls vs Girls.
Mixed genders.
They didn't necessarily have to form teams from the same class, but given how close they
were, that's probably how it would happen.
