บท 288: Yotsuba's Track Record

　　The day trip ended perfectly, Yotsuba ran more than a dozen groups, after returning, the group members stuffed her with piles of barbecue meat according to the agreement, just like feeding pets.

　　Her appetite wasn't as good as Itsuki's, but Yotsuba couldn't live up to everyone's expectations, so she had to force herself to put it in her mouth.

　　Luckily, she would go out carrying wood with Shinichi in the afternoon, which happened to be a digestive exercise.

　　Even though she tells Shinichi what happened during the day, she laughs too much and says that she is a mascot, she is a bit depressed, somehow relaxed.

　　(Oh, I should have added a vest under Asada-san's gym clothes looking at his panties, what a shame.)

　　(Ah, but I accidentally got a jacket, is this the so-called dove brown?)

　　(Asada-san is really considerate, by the way. I just don't know why Nino keeps saying all kinds of nasty things about her at home, but she definitely doesn't hate him.)

　　After Shinichi left, Yotsuba 'accidentally' smelled the sports jacket a few more times... Although she felt perverted, this jacket smelled very good, which made her very comfortable.

　　After putting it on, it felt like being hugged gently by him… Oh, this is even more perverted, no, Yotsuba can't be bad!

　　Thinking wildly in her mind, it didn't take long for Shinichi to send a message saying that he would be back later for something.

　　Where is he going...

　　Seeing the message, Yotsuba shook her head, took his jacket and kissed it, then curled into a ball, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes with a grin.

　　She didn't know how long it took before she woke up from the warm smell, and immediately looked at the bonfire in panic. Almost done! Not overseeing the process at all!

　　She hurriedly ran to apologize to the classmate who made the bonfire. The other party didn't seem to know why she was apologizing. After being confused, she asked him to explain the structure of the bonfire, and pointed out that the iron cable and the bonfire would not fall.

　　Unbeknownst to him, Yotsuba nodded, and saw Shinichi return with a pensive expression on his face. She directly left the male student who still had something to say, and greeted the person with a smile on her face.

　　Although it was fine to feel a bit guilty when faced with it… After all, she neglected her supervisory duties and fell asleep just by smelling his jacket.

　　Yotsuba didn't know how to describe it, it was bad after all.

　　Finally entered the climax of the bonfire party.

　　Her heart skipped a beat, and as the fiery arrow collided with the wood.

　　Luckily the bonfire was successfully lit later.

　　The more she looked forward to it, the more nervous she became.

　　Yotsuba really couldn't abide by the 'equal exchange' that Shinichi had told her that night.

　　Although the smile on her face is still there, she still gets nervous and scared about everything about the forest school from time to time, and is careful to guard against any possible accidents.

　　At the buffet in the evening, Yotsuba just stood there, and groups of people came to chat with her, share dishes with her, and happily talk about the excitement of the event and the beauty of the scenery.

　　The smiles on their faces lit up Yotsuba's heart more than a bonfire.

　　Even though she was confused by the crowd of people surrounding her left and right, Yotsuba couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

　　--It was great.

　　—Hard work has finally paid off!

　　As long as everyone can be happy, she can get unprecedented happiness.

　　All time is not in vain, all efforts are not in vain, and all prayers will not turn into tears.

　　... God, please let this happiness last to the end.

　　If this required an equal exchange, she would give anything.

　　After dinner, the quintuplets get together before the dance.

　　Itsuki seemed to be eating very happily, her face was red and she was very satisfied.

　　Nino also seems to have untied the knot in her heart. Her spirits are high, and she is confident and proud.

　　Ichika and Miku seem to live together the whole time. Even though they seemed to have a good relationship, Yotsuba always found the atmosphere odd.

　　"After the group dance, would anyone want to find that man as a dance partner?" Nino immediately dropped the bomb at the start, and Yotsuba's expression immediately became bitter.

　　She had a bad feeling.

　　"My words..." Ichika hugged Miku's arm and thought for a moment, "I will go if Miku goes, if Miku doesn't go, I will go if Nino goes."

　　"What kind of complicated logical connection do you have..." Nino groaned, then looked at Miku, "What about you? It's just a dance, don't be shy, right?"

　　Miku was silent for a while, and looked at Nino quietly, "You want to go?"

　　"Yes." Nino nodded shamelessly, "Don't tell me whether I like him or not. However, if I could dance with him, I wouldn't give up this opportunity. Because I just want to dance with him, it's that simple."

　　Her upright demeanor silenced everyone, and Miku's expression worried Yotsuba a little, but she didn't know what to say.

　　The music of the folk dance just sounded, and the matter was temporarily put aside, and everyone dispersed to dance in groups.

　　Then when it's time to find a dance partner, while rebuffing passersby who come to ask them to dance, they search for traces of Shinichi, but after searching around, he's nowhere to be found!

　　"This guy, shouldn't he be dating Furuhashi!" Nino gritted her teeth.

　　"Fumino? I just saw her, because too many boys bothered her, so she pretended to dance with a little girl with glasses," Ichika smiled amusedly.

　　Itsuki put on her glasses.

　　"Everyone, I have listed a few locations where Asada-kun is most likely to appear this time. According to my observations of Asada-kun, he's very likely to appear in… Eh, anywhere in this area."

　　"Aren't you talking nonsense…"

　　Fortunately, Shinichi soon returned. After they discussed the bonfire, he went to fetch oil and dry wood, waiting to reignite the bonfire's glory.
