Chapter 69 - Chapter 51: Camping for fun

Ayanokouji POV 

It was dinner time as all of Class S are now together, Sora and Shiro randomly started crying as they had their little reunion. Geez I thought you guys are starting to get used to being apart by now. Anyways we started discussing about what went down with our groups. 

"You know, I'm starting to feel very unlucky" Lelouch said sounding like he's in a bad mood. 

"What's with him?" Kei asked Suzaku 

"Well funny enough, or not funny in his case that Ryuen happened to end up in our group, again" 

"Hahaha, you really can't shake Dragon boy off you, eh?" Karma said teasingly as I can see veins coming out of Lelouch's head. I swear in almost every situation, he always ends up getting involved with Ryuen.

"Anyways, Ayanokouji-kun here" Asuna gave me a paper. 

"What is this?" I asked 

"Ohh well Nanami-senpai wants you to read it. I don't know what's in it, but she said it's a request of sorts" she replied 

"I see" 

"So, how's everyone's groups?" Kei asked 

"It's not too bad on our end since Kanzaki from Class B is taking charge" Tatsuya said 

"All four of us ended up in one group" Kaguya said 

"To be honest, it's the best we can do there and I get to be the representative" Asuna said 

"That's great" Kazuto said while giving her a thumbs up 

"Thanks Kazuto-kun" she said while blushing 

While everyone continued chatting, I saw Ichinose looking very exhausted. Did she do some kind of work that made her like this? I went towards her and decided to talk to her. 

"Hey Ichinose" 

"Ohh hey Ayanokouji-kun" she really sounds tired 

"Are you ok?" I asked 

"Yeah, a bit, it's just that forming the groups there is quite difficult." she replied 

"Really? I mean from what I heard from Kaguya and the other girls. They managed to form their group quickly" I said 

"Well at least they managed it" Ichinose said 

-

It was already nighttime, and I used my flashlight to read the letter. It says to meet me in this particular part of the woods for a small meeting. I arrived at the supposed location and waited. 5 minutes have passed, and no one has arrived yet. 

"*sigh*" I sighed at the thought that maybe this person is late or something until a voice broke the silence, 

"So, you arrived kouhai" I heard a girl's voice as a girl with long platinum hair and red eyes arrived. Is this the person? 

"Kouhai? so, you're a senpai?" I asked 

"That's right, you're Ayanokouji, correct?" she asked me 

"Yes" 

"Good because it's about time we finally meet" 

"I'm Kiryuin Fuka from Class 2-B" she introduced herself 

"Chiaki-chan told me about you and after my observation of you from the sports festival. You really are an interesting kouhai" she added 

"Chiaki? you mean Nanami-senpai told you about me?" I asked 

"Exactly" 

I've never met Kiryuin before but for some reason she radiates this aura of arrogance similar to Koenji. Except hers is not too extreme and she seems like a person who's more interested compared to Koenji. 

"So, what do you want from me?" I asked 

"Ohh don't worry, I'm just here to warn you about Miyabi." she replied 

"I'm not worried about Nagumo" I said

"Of course, not. I mean you are from Class S, right? So, he wouldn't be a problem for you and the boys over there but how about on the female side? You only have four girls in your class and Miyabi already has the majority of the 2nd year girls to work against them" 

"I think you shouldn't underestimate them Kiryuin-senpai" I said 

"It's fine, I am also aware of what they're capable of. You kouhai's aren't ordinary after all" she said 

"Is that all you have to say?" I asked 

"Yeah, you know we should meet again kouhai-kun. If I want any other information on the 2nd years. I'll provide you some." She said before walking off. 

It was pretty silent as I looked at the sky. A lot of stars tonight huh? It's quite relaxing. That is until I sensed a person who was nearby. 

"Kei, don't even try to hide. I know you were following me" I said as the boy who came out of hiding was none other than Shinomiya Kei. 

"Hehe, guess nothing gets pass you huh?" He said as he walked out of the open. 

"What are you doing here?" 

"Hey, gotta keep my eye on my classmates, is that wrong?" Kei asked 

"No" I replied 

"Good anyways" Kei went to a nearby tree and leaned on it putting his arms behind his head. 

"Have you had your fun?" he asked 

"What fun?" 

"You know, being in this school?" 

"Yeah, I guess it's somewhat fun" 

"Well, I'm having a helluva time. I've never felt less bored in my entire life. This school just keeps bringing the fun" he explained 

"You know, let me tell you something about me Kiyotaka-san. I never do anything if it is meaningless. Whatever action I do always has meaning to it. I don't just do things just for the fun of it even though sometimes I do but in situations where I need to get serious. That's where my actions have meaning" 

"I see" 

"Anyways enough about me, what about you Kiyotaka?" 

"I'm just an ordinary person" I replied 

"Hah! ordinary. Sorry but that's not true. Seriously you managed to figure out the S-system like everyone else, you planned ahead better than every other class on the island, and you managed to beat 4 people which included Ryuen all by yourself and you call yourself ordinary?" Kei said 

 "I know that I'm not holding back but it's better if you don't know me that much" 

"This might just be a guess, but do you have a bad past or something?" he asked 

"What makes you say that?" 

"Well, everybody has a bad past. I mean look at Yuuichi-kun for example. Don't tell him this but his last name isn't really Katagiri" 

"What?" 

"Don't worry, I think he'll tell you why at some point but it's better for you to continue gaining his trust first." he said as he stood up 

"You really are an enigma, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. I hope I can figure out your secret soon enough" he said as he walked away. 

What was that about Yuuichi's last name not actually Katagiri? and why did Kei decide to take an interest in my past? He really is hard to read but for now. I guess I should be heading back as well. 

It's the next morning and everyone in the group has woken up early. 

"*yawn* morning Kiyotaka-san" Kei said 

"Morning" I said 

"Hey where's Koenji and Togami?" Ishizaki asked 

"Togami said he went on a walk, as for the other guy, I have no clue" Hashimoto replied 

"Well, no time like the present. Let's head out." Yuuichi said 

We all got ready until the door opened, and it was Koenji. 

"Hey! where the hell have you been?!!" Ishizaki asked 

"I was just on my special training green boy, is there something the matter?" Koenji asked 

"Why you, don't call me green boy!" Ishizaki said angrily. 

A fight almost broke out until Hashimoto took control. 

"Hold up, let's not start a fight here. Besides we could lose points if something were to happen" he explained. Ishizaki backed off while Koenji as usual isn't giving a care in the world. 

It didn't take us long until we started getting the tasks for the day from the teachers after we all got ready.

Speaking of that.

The teachers have given us tasks to do in order to gain points. The goal is to work together in doing these tasks to start gaining points. First was cleaning around the lodge. Most of us did the work there aside from Koenji. 

"You're seriously not gonna help us?" Ishizaki asked 

"Why would I bother with doing such boring chores" he said while walking somewhere else. Ishizaki looks pretty pissed as of now as I saw Albert trying to calm him down. 

"Wow is he always like this?" Yuuichi asked 

"Yeah, but you'll get used to it" Akito said 

"It really is disappointing but that's pretty much who he is. He chooses to do things if he wants to" Keisei said 

"He really is interesting huh?" Kei said sounding intrigued

"I guess so" 

Next, we all moved to a dojo to do some meditation practice. 

Kei, Yuuichi, and I are able to relax ourselves. Kei seems pretty disciplined on how he meditates. I guess with all that Judo and Karate, he really knows how to calm himself down. Yuuichi seems to be doing good as well. I also saw Togami looking as calm as ever, to be honest I don't know what he's actually capable of but if he is on Sakayanagi's side then he must be someone I shouldn't underestimate. 

After all that exercise and other stuff. We moved on to breakfast from here, according to the teachers, we should make our own breakfast. I don't think any of us know how to cook but surprisingly I saw Houtarou and Kei making breakfast. When did Houtarou started using his energy? This really is quite the development. I also met up with the rest of Class S saying their hellos and talking about what they did. 

As I headed to the dining area, I saw Nanami-senpai sleeping next to a tree. I wonder how she ended up here. From there, I woke her up. 

"H-huh? A-Ayanokouji-kun" she said while rubbing her eyes 

"*yawn*" she yawned, that was actually cute not gonna lie 

"Why are you sleeping next to a tree? are you tired" I asked

"Maybe, I guess the thought of not playing video games has gotten to me and I decided to take a stroll late at night and maybe I got so tired that I ended up sleeping here" she explained. I guess she never went camping before in her life that she got extremely bored. Given that majority of the time, she plays video games. 

"Hey Ayanokouji-kun, I actually had a dream last night" 

"What is it?" 

"Well, I was in this weird "who done it?" game where we are all forced to murder each other to get off an island and we had to solve mysteries and stuff. There was a robot bear, there was blood, there was a trial and I think I was hanging out with a boy who claimed to not have any talent but hung out a lot with me and played video games as well."8

What kind of a dream is that? 

"Well anyways, I have to go. Thanks for waking me up Ayanokouji-kun" Nanami-senpai said as she left. 

Nothing much happened. There was a lot of lectures and stuff, nothing too important and some physical training. We were all jogging in the middle of the woods, and I decided to get close to Koenji since he is still a mystery to me aside from the fact that he's a narcissist and he's rich. 

"Koenji" 

"You're Ayanokouji boy, right?" he asked 

"Yes, can I ask you something? are you not going to cooperate with the group at least just a little" 

"Sorry but I already told you and everyone. I'm not interested" he said as he jogs a bit faster. He really is troublesome 

It was the afternoon and I saw Class S taking a dip to a nearby river. Looks like they're having fun there. I met them up and said my hellos. 

"So how your group so far?" Tatsuya asked

"It's fine aside from a few notable things." I replied

"Yeah, that f***ing narcissist is really something" Kei said as he jumps into the river. 

"Hey not planning to dip in the water Kiyotaka?" Akise asked 

"No, I'm good" 

As I was trying to relax myself, I was suddenly splashed on by water. 

"Ohh sorry was my cannonball to strong?" Karma said while scratching his head 

"*sigh*" Well at least they're having fun in this camping trip 

-

It was the evening, and it was dinner time. I arrived first.

As I started to walk towards the table where my classmates are. I suddenly notice that Yamauchi accidently bumped on to Sakayanagi.

Yamauchi: Ohh! My bad!! I didn't mean to! 

He asked her if he can help her, but Sakayanagi declined. She got herself and glared at him. I walked towards her and started to talk.

"Don't mind him" I said 

"Ohh Ayanokouji-kun, what a surprise. It's been a while since we last talked" she said 

"Yeah, looks like it" 

"Anyways, did you know that Ichinose is the Class treasurer for Class B?" 

"Sorry but I don't care about that" I replied 

"Really now? actually I've grown close to Ichinose for a while now, so I know what she has been doing as of late. Her class will start to doubt her, and that boy with those dead eyes. Hikigaya Hachiman, might take action soon" Hikigaya? well, I guess this is worth my time after all. But why would Class B start to doubt Ichinose anyway?

"What do you know?" I asked 

"fufufufufu, so now you're curious. But I'll tell you soon enough, you should eat first" she said as she slowly leaves
