Judging from the map drawn by the Art Department in the "Camping Manual", the winter camping location this time is very far away, and it is by no means as simple as "near Tokyo".

But in general, the entire island country is not that big. A casual trip would be "across provinces", so there is nothing wrong with saying it is "nearby".

The school bus crossed several cities and climbed several mountains westward, and the scenery became increasingly desolate.

After entering a cedar forest rising from the ground, and suddenly seeing the light, you can see the wooden cabins at the camping site.

Sitting in the car, you can see the ridges of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, as well as the cable car going up the mountain.

"After getting off the bus, put the gifts in your respective rooms first, and then gather at the outdoor cooking table. Remember to bring the ingredients with you for the food team."

"yes--"

"And the logistics team..."

After Koizumi Aina’s tireless urging, Class 4 finally got off the bus.

After leaving the heated school bus, cold air hit my face.

"It's so cold! It's so cold! It's so cold!"

"Look over there! It's all snow! Come on -"

"Yamazaki-san, come back quickly, it's not time to move freely yet!"

"Okay -" Yamazaki-san replied in a voice that was both frustrated and excited.

Watanabe Toru and the boys from Class 4 unloaded all their luggage before taking their own things into the cabin.

Choose your bed and gather.

Under the simple greenhouse made of steel, there are rows of cooking tables, chopping boards, faucets, brick bonfire basins, etc.

The place was crowded, and students from other classes had already started cooking.

"Boy, can't you clean the basin after using it?"

"The ingredients have been washed, so what happens if they are put together?"

"Those are different ingredients! The taste of raw meat is mixed with vegetables!"

"What does it matter? We have to cook them together in the end anyway!"

"So, you guys are really useless!"

"ha--?"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

The battle sounds quite intense.

Toru Watanabe was very confident in his cooking skills, so he went to the woods to collect firewood.

Walking into the forest, the sounds from the kitchen counter were immediately inaudible, as if they were separated by several layers of filter paper.

The lower the human voice, the louder the "flutter" of the birds spreading their wings, which is very similar to the scene described in "The Drunkard's Pavilion", "The woods are dark, the songs are rising and falling, the tourists are gone and the birds are happy".

Watanabe Toru was in a good mood, humming "Ruri Colored Earth" and picking it up while walking.

"Watanabe-san, if you really like Matsuda Seiko, you shouldn't sing her songs."

The only person who dares to speak like this to a handsome guy in Tokyo is Rin Kiyono.

Watanabe Toru looked towards where the sound came from.

The sun penetrated into the woods and formed beams of light. The largest beam of light shone on the beautiful girl sitting on the wooden pillar.

Her body seemed to merge with the warm winter sunshine, and she spread her wings behind her, turning into an angel.

But the pile of firewood at the feet of the beautiful girl pulled her back and turned her into an ordinary, overly cute girl collecting firewood.

"Are you following me?" Toru Watanabe said.

Qingye Rin was too lazy to answer this kind of topic? She quietly enjoyed the sun.

It seems that it’s not because she is too beautiful that the sun favors her? It’s because she is afraid of the cold, so she deliberately found a place with the sun.

Watanabe Toru walked over and stood between her and the sun.

Qingye Rin looked over and said, "Please don't do such a childish thing."

"I have never touched Qingye-san's face? You must not let Taiyang touch it."

The beautiful girl sighed as if she had nothing to do with him, patted her side, and motioned for Watanabe Tetsuya to sit down.

Watanabe Toru sat a little distance away from her. In this position, he couldn't get any sunlight at all.

"Why are you here to collect firewood? Aren't you good at cooking?" He put the firewood in his hand at his feet and looked at the bundle Qingye Rin picked up.

"I don't want to cook for other people."

"What's the reason?"

"They don't deserve it."

"Not worthy?" Toru Watanabe bent down and looked for a handy weapon among Rin Kiyono's firewood.

"The main reason is because everyone of them lies; the secondary reason? I hate crowds." Speaking of this? Qingye Rin seemed to think of the scene of being surrounded by people, and his expression was slightly impatient.

Then, she added:

"There is also a very small part, probably because of status."

"As expected of Mr. Kiyonogami who never lies." Watanabe Toru said, "But I didn't expect you to have the concept of status differences. I thought you advocated equality for everyone."

Qingye Rin stretched out his hand toward the sun, and bursts of warmth came from his originally cold palm.

"The environment in which they grow up affects their values, but in fact this is not important. If they can stop lying and don't crowd around me all the time, it doesn't matter if they cook," she said.

"After saying so much, you still have a sense of status in your heart, right? But I have known for a long time that you are not a good woman, ever since you used all kinds of despicable means to make me fall in love with you."

"Don't you just like bad women? What are you looking for?" Qingye Rin lowered his head and looked over.

Her originally neat firewood was now in a mess, which made her frown.

Watanabe Toru straightened up and had a branch about thirty centimeters long in his hand.

He slowly stroked the stick, as if he was holding something fragile.

"Fifteen inches, elder wood, the core of the staff is...the tail feathers of the Thestral." Watanabe Tetsu muttered.

Qingye Rin raised his eyebrows as if he had a headache. His beautiful face was filled with helplessness.

Watanabe Toru pointed the wooden stick at the sky with the graceful posture of Voldemort holding the stick.

"Call the wind and rain!"

The sun was still shining brightly, and the birds in the distance were startled, and their wings flapped louder.

"Well, I see," Watanabe Toru said to himself as if he understood something, "Is it because he didn't kill the original owner that he still refuses to be loyal to me?"

"You are already sixteen years old, Watanabe-san."

"Does Leonardo know? The man who froze to death on the Titanic at the age of 20 is still playing with a water gun at the age of 42."

"...it was the 20-year-old Jack he played who froze to death."

"You have to learn to grasp the key points, Kiyono-san. I mean, there are 42-year-olds who play with water guns. It makes sense for me to play with a magic wand at 16."

There was silence in the forest, except for the chirping of birds.

Qingye Rin suddenly laughed softly.

She sighed in a helpless and funny tone: "You always have a lot of reasons."

It's been a long time since Toru Watanabe had seen Rin Kiyono's heartfelt smile like this. Even though he couldn't get any sunlight, he still felt a warm current running through his body.

"etc."

"Huh?" Qingye Rin looked at him with a sudden expression on his face in confusion.

"You're not using dirty tricks to make me like you again, are you?"

"No, the next thing is -" Qingye Rin took the 'Elder Wand' and pointed it at Watanabe Toru, "Fall in love with me, Watanabe, the infatuation curse."

She leaned closer slightly, and the two of them stared at each other from a very close distance.

The glossy lips exhaled a warm breath mixed with a light white mist;

Her eyes are as deep and charming as the Milky Way in spring, and her long hair is as smooth and black as silk;

Clear voice, slender waist, strong and lonely soul;

Is this the infatuation curse?

Watanabe Toru's heart seemed to have stopped beating.

"I have to go find my beautiful girl." He stood up.

"Are you excited? Can't control yourself? Are you falling in love with me?" Qingye Rin looked over.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just want to be best friends with you."

"Best friend... This is the first day of camping. There are only two days left. I will make you change your mind. I will definitely win this game."
