To make our exit less conspicuous, Eguchi-sensei eventually let go of my wrist. She also walked a step ahead of to give the illusion that I was being asked to follow rather than getting dragged by her.
Of course, those who saw us leaving were montarily confused. In this open space, having witnesses was inevitable.
I even saw Hino curling his brows as he attempted to make sense of my situation. If not for Fukuda next to him, he might've run to and asked if I needed help.
Yeah. That guy could be as ddleso as Sakuma. Good thing there was Fukuda to hold him back. He’s proving his usefulness in that way.
Apart from Hino’s reaction, no one else stepped up to question Eguchi-sensei or . They just pointed at . They were either gloating, laughing, or wondering. But there’s one thing that probably settled on their heads; I got myself in trouble.
Sotis, I envy their oblivious minds. I wouldn’t have it otherwise though.
And well, that's the extent of it. They could laugh at without knowing what was actually happening. I’m still the one winning, anyway.
Moreover, their sneers probably won't hold for long since those in the know about my position as Eguchi-sensei’s Student Assistant would be brought up soon. They’d choke on their saliva for thinking I was going to be punished.
Bystanders gonna act like bystanders, I guess?
I couldn't care less about their opinion. They could believe whatever they want to and it wouldn't affect us all.
Likewise, Eguchi-sensei was possibly not soone that would flinch at them. And even if they wanted to, they wouldn't dare offend her. Unlike , they only know the side of her as the discipline-freak PE teacher. They had no idea that beneath that exterior was the hard-working teacher who’d do everything to bring us improvent when it ca to her lessons and activities. Not to ntion, they’ll forever miss out on how pretty and admirable she can be.
And that’s why instead of bothering about the unrelated, I focused on guessing where Shio was taking .
It shouldn't be their cabin, right? Or is it?
Even if most of the teachers and professors were already here, there should still be people lingering in their cabin area.
But well, looks like I shouldn’t even try to guess because I already got it right.
We soon reached the path leading sowhere outside this open space.
Since I’ve already walked inside it earlier with Sara, it’s undoubtedly the one that would lead us to their cabins.
Is Eguchi-sensei being bold or what?
Thinking about it, there’s not that much of a choice for her as well, unless she brought sowhere in the woods.
Without stopping in her steps, Eguchi-sensei set her foot on that path.
I followed after her to check on Shio who was still in the middle of conversing with the other teachers and professors.
When we got a sufficient distance away from the other students, I caught up to Eguchi-sensei and asked.
“Sensei, will this be fine? Are we going to your cabin?”
I was expecting a positive answer but surprisingly, she shook her head.
“I’m surprised you know where we’re going, Onoda-kun. Have you been here already?”
Looks like the question was thrown back at .
And as soone who couldn’t straight up lie to them without sufficient reason, I nodded.
“Yeah. Didn’t I ntion how I also attempted to visit the girls during my first free ti? I encountered a camp manager there.”
“You encountered? You’re not caught?”
“Uhm. Maybe both? But she’s soone I know. She said she’s about to take a rest in her cabin so…”
“… You accompanied her. I rember that girl.” Eguchi-sensei finished my sentence before narrowing her eyes at as she seed to rember Sara.
With her lips curving up in another knowing smile, I could sense a hint of jealousy in her expression, “Onoda-kun, I changed my mind. I’ll bring you to my cabin. We can’t be seen entering it together but knowing you, we can work around it, am I correct?”
Upon saying that, she closed in on , enough for our shoulders to touch.
Yep. Looks like I successfully made her jealous that she changed their plan to bring sowhere.
Maybe Shio would have difficulty in finding us once she’s done with distracting the other teachers.
As the tension rose gradually, the cabin area soon eventually ca into our view.
And as I expected, it wasn’t as empty as I could think of.
Furthermore, the first one we ran into was soone we had just been talking about.
Although there was still quite a distance between us, the figure of Sara still wearing the sa shirt and pants from earlier was making her way out of the entrance.
And given that I probably made a mark on her mind, she also recognized from the sa distance.
Her droopy expression that was probably brought from being still a little sleepy imdiately brightened as an elated smile blood on her beautiful face.
Of course, since Eguchi-sensei said she rembered her, she also recognized Sara.
Although subtle, I sensed her inching closer as though she was ready to protect from being stolen by the woman.
“Onoda-kun! Are you… here to pick up? Co on, you don’t have to.” With excitent flashing in her eyes as she closed our distance, Sara charmingly blinked a few tis, letting her eyelashes flutter. Of course, with the way her voice delivered that line, she’s just teasing . Eguchi-sensei wasn’t invisible in her eyes.
I guess this is the result of having a good sleep, huh? She beca this energetic.
“I wish I could do that, Sara-san. But as you can see…” I trailed my voice there, hinting to her about my companion before continuing, “Anyway, looks like you got so good sleep, Sara-
san. You look refreshed.”
“Really? I owe you my gratitude then, Onoda-kun. You’re the reason why…”
Perhaps rembering that she shouldn’t reveal about bringing into her cabin, Sara imdiately cut off her words and put on an embarrassed smile.
I sneaked a glance at my side and I saw Eguchi-sensei’s face twitching a bit. Still, she remained silent while observing the woman in front of us.
If she’s already jealous, it looks like encountering the girl here intensified that.
Most likely, if it’s not because of how we have to hide our relationship, she already blocked Sara from approaching or maybe, pulled into her embrace.
At the mont, I could sense her shoulders trembling a little while she kept a straight face. I don’t know if her continued silence was hiding her relationship with or not but I guess it doesn’t matter. She looked like she was being considerate by waiting for us to finish our conversation before taking away.
“Nope. I don’t think I deserve that, Sara-san. I should be the one thanking you. Anyway, are you returning to the girls’ side?”
To bring us out of the approaching awkward situation, I steered the conversation away from what happened earlier.
“Yes. I still have my duty as the camp manager. Eguchi-sensei, are you bringing him sowhere? Did he do sothing?”
Taking my hint, Sara nodded and then turned to Eguchi-sensei, inquiring about .
I thought her answer would be a little stiff considering what was going on in her head but Eguchi-sensei still had her bearing. She answered the sa way she would if it’s any other students, “No. He’s not here because he caused trouble. He’s my Student Assistant and I need his help with sothing.”
“Oh! I understand. I won’t delay you any longer then. See you at lunch, Onoda-kun, Eguchi-sensei.”
With a wink, Sara waved us goodbye before continuing past us.
When I glanced back at her, I also found her looking while giggling quietly.
From the way she jovially walked those steps, the woman looked more like she was simply in a very good mood rather than having suspicion about us.
Uh. Is it because she ran into after waking up? It can’t be, right? Yeah. I won’t be able to fool anyone from that.
In any case, until she reached a certain distance from us, Sara kept looking back at . In a way, it ended up with sending her off with my eyes.
As for Eguchi-sensei’s reaction to that, the mont Sara disappeared from our view, she hastened her footsteps.
We walked past the entrance without being noticed by the other teachers.
Perhaps because of her large strides, no one noticed us approaching a cabin.
Thankfully, it’s located close to the edge. There were at least five cabins in between hers and the cabin Sara brought in.
Without taking a pause to check our surroundings, Eguchi-
sensei opened it and there, she grabbed my hand, pulling inside at the sa ti as she pulled the door close.
I hadn’t gotten a proper look at their cabin yet when my vision imdiately beca blocked.
As the feeling of being buried in her bouncy softness, her slender arms enclosed around my head, hugging tightly. Ignoring everything else, Eguchi-sensei secured in her embrace.
This… Looks like I truly made her that jealous.
