Chapter 115 Self-taught without a teacher

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the teams of the test of courage competition gathered at their respective starting points on time.

Like previous years, this year's test of courage conference was also held separately based on hostels as the basic unit.

"According to the rules explained in advance, two people will set out in a group, five minutes apart. After arriving at the destination, they will wait there. After everyone arrives, the teachers in charge of each class will bring them back together. Do you understand?"

At the starting point, Risa Yasuhara made her final explanation.

When she was a student, she always wondered why teachers were so long-winded. It was something that was extremely clear, so why did they have to repeat it over and over again?

Now that she has become a teacher, she finally understands the good intentions of her teacher back then.

"Understood!"

The students answered in unison.

Everyone has been ready to go, especially those students who had explained the situation to Risa Yasuhara in advance and are now grouped together with their friends.

"Be careful and if you encounter any emergency, remember to call us."

As Yasuhara Risa said this, her eyes fell on Watanabe Yuu and Hayakawa Yuki of the first group, "Watanabe, Hayakawa, let's go."

"Ah."

The two nodded, took a step forward, and walked side by side into the fairly spacious forest path.

"Start the timer from now on. In five minutes, the next group will follow."

After giving instructions, Risa Yasuhara stepped aside.

According to what Xiao Youji said when she was acting coquettishly before, she was going to attack fiercely in this test of courage.

As for the specific content of the "attack", perhaps because of modesty or perhaps because she was too shy, Xiao Yuki did not reveal the details.

However, judging from Yuki's movements and expressions when she said that, she is definitely not less "active" than Hamabe Ryoko in the past two days.

"Three minutes and forty seconds left."

Taking her eyes away from the end of the forest path, Risa Yasuhara turned around and reminded the students who were chatting animatedly.

*
Walking on the forest path, Watanabe Yu stretched lazily and squinted his eyes comfortably.

At this time, the heat on the surface of the earth had completely faded away, and in the fresh and cool air there was the sound of cicadas chirping and the sound of their footsteps.

It must be said that the air quality here is much better than that in Tokyo.

"Are you tired?"

Yuki Hayakawa turned her head, with a hint of concern in her tone.

"No."

Watanabe Yu shook his head.

Yes, according to his normal routine, he was already staying up late, but the phone call from Miss Saint, or the "good news" she brought, completely curbed his sleepiness.

"……That's good."

Yuki Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief.

If Watanabe Yu was sleepy, she might hesitate whether to say those words or not.

After all, the most important thing about those words is the atmosphere.

——She had already asked Yasuhara Risa, and for safety reasons, the school did not arrange any "director team" or "staff". In other words, there was no one to scare people during this process.

"Maki's grilling skills have improved a lot since last time."

After a slight cough, Yuki Hayakawa took the initiative to open the conversation between the two.

"Yes." Watanabe Yu nodded, "After all, she worked as a helper in the barbecue restaurant at home before. Although she didn't actually do it, she was always watching.

"As long as you try it once and get a little bit of the knack, the improvement will be obvious."

It's been so long, how can we not meet at the top?
"That's right." Hayakawa Yuki nodded thoughtfully, then changed the subject, "But compared to you, there is still a gap."

"I'm being praised to death, right?"

"No, this is my true thought. After all, you are Chef Watanabe~"

Her tone was brisk.

"Stop blowing. I'm almost losing my way."

"Didn't I say this? This isn't flattery. This is my true thoughts." Hayakawa Yuki paused. "The BBQ buffet that day left a very deep impression on me."

"Because of that song?"

"Not entirely, but also because of the friendly atmosphere... Sorry, I said something irrelevant."

Yuki Hayakawa realized her slip of the tongue and quickly apologized.

The current atmosphere is not suitable for talking about the past.

"It's nothing to be confused about. Since it's been brought up, let's talk about it." Watanabe Yu paused, "I'm quite good at being a listener."

"……Really?"

Yuki Hayakawa pursed her thin lips and looked at him cautiously.

She also knew in her heart that if she said those words at this time, the wonderful and relaxed atmosphere would be completely over.

But somehow, like a dam that had been closed for a long time finally opened a small gate, she wanted to tell him those things.

"Fidelity."

"So, shall I tell you?"

"Please say."

Watanabe Yu pretended to listen attentively.

"I haven't had a private gathering with my classmates since the second year of junior high school."

There was a hint of self-mockery in Yuki Hayakawa's eyes, "Thinking back carefully, I was quite funny back then.

"In order to maintain the so-called 'friendship' relationship, I willingly became the scapegoat at the party, pretending not to hear the bad things they said about me behind my back, and being the nice guy who got the most angry.

“I always thought they treated me as a friend.

"After all, when it comes to external affairs, they will speak for me, even if it's just a few words.

"But then one day, I had a conflict with the girl who led the clique.

"It was obvious that she was wrong in that incident. She bullied the girls in the class who were easy to bully, forcing them to give her money, snacks and drinks. I also pointed this out, but the subsequent developments were completely beyond my imagination."

Having said that, she couldn't help but sigh.

"They all stood on the side of the leading girl without exception, right?"

Watanabe Yu took up the conversation.

"correct."

Yuki Hayakawa lowered her brows, and the woods were quiet. "It was at that time that I gradually realized that, in fact, I was not accepted by them from the beginning, or in other words, from the beginning, we were not the same kind of people.

"In their eyes, all my previous actions were just a shameless attempt to please them.

"For this, they will pay a little 'reward', such as a few words to the outside world.

"But if you think about it carefully, those words are totally false. "They feel at ease with their efforts for me, but they are also dismissive."

"... and then you broke up with them."

Watanabe Yu could imagine that scene.

"Yes." Hayakawa Yuki nodded gently, "I suddenly realized that this kind of relationship is meaningless, so after recognizing the facts, I chose to keep my distance from them.

“At the same time, I also told the teacher about their bullying of those girls.

“But the teachers were silent.

"After knowing this, they started to spread rumors about me in the class. They would target anyone who was even slightly close to me."

After she finished speaking, Yuki Hayakawa took a deep breath and continued, "After my mother found out about this, she came to the school and had a big fight with the school because of me.

"Finally, they calmed down a lot and apologized to me in person.

“But it didn’t get any better.

“I was still isolated, and even the girls who were bullied didn’t say a word for me.

"Until graduation, I was always the one left out in a series of group activities in class, and I was always the one no one wanted to join when forming a team in class.

"After I finally graduated, I thought about changing my image. If hot blonde girls were the upper echelons of the class's social circle, then I should be like that, too.

"I dyed my hair blonde and tried to imitate the voices of the Spice Girls, but no matter how hard I tried, I just felt uncomfortable.

"I can't be as mean as they are, I think it's wrong to be mean.

"Fortunately... after changing my environment, I made some really good friends."

Having said this, Yuki Hayakawa's brows gradually relaxed.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to talk to you about the club, but I ended up saying a lot of nonsense and pouring out a lot of my grievances on you."

She couldn't help but apologize again.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the beginning.

——The Hayakawa-san who loves to say thank you.

"Nothing, Hayakawa-san who loves to apologize."

Watanabe Yu teased her to liven up the atmosphere.

"Without your past, how can you talk about your present? Now that you have made friends like Maki, it's good."

He comforted her.

"Yes, Maki, she is really nice."

Yuki Hayakawa lowered her eyebrows, “It was during that period of time when I was alienated that I became less confident and gave up a lot of things.

“But now, I want to slowly pick them back up.”

The night wind blew, and a rustling sound was heard among the shade of the trees.

"You mean music?"

Watanabe Yu vaguely understood what she meant.

"Ah."

Yuki Hayakawa nodded, and then her tone became more like that of seeking credit.

"Watanabe, my singing and playing today were pretty good, right?"

She was quite satisfied with her current state, which was natural, leisurely and relaxed enough.

It's a bit close to the feeling my mother described.

“Not just good, it’s great!”

Yuu Watanabe corrected her.

"That's good."

Yuki Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief.

His evaluation is particularly important to her.

"..."

After the words were spoken, the two fell into a brief silence.

"Yu!"

After taking several deep breaths, Yuki Hayakawa finally started talking.

Since she had decided to make a substantial breakthrough when she came here, she would do it and not give up halfway.

"Ok?"

Watanabe Yuu responded.

"I am a very despicable person. After pouring out a lot of grievances to you, I suddenly felt that I could take advantage of your sympathy at the moment and make demands on you."

Yuki Hayakawa's straightforwardness caught people off guard.

"…What do you want to ask?"

Watanabe Yuu suddenly became silent.

"I want to hold your hand like Hamabe-senpai."

Yuki Hayakawa is very frank.

"You're invincible, Hayakawa."

Watanabe Yu sighed.

Obviously, Yuki Hayakawa has mastered the true meaning of dialogue without any instruction, first analyzing herself and then confessing.

Under this premise, no one can say anything to her.

"So, is that okay?"

Yuki Hayakawa turned her head and looked at him.

Then she muttered softly again.

“Actually, I’m afraid of horror movies, too.”

While holding Yasuhara Risa's arm, she was also paying attention to the conversation on his end.

Just like Maki Takakura said, she can also be afraid of horror movies when necessary!
"…Remember to explain it to me when the time comes."

Watanabe Yu took her hand.

"Don't worry, I will keep silent when the time comes, especially to Senior Ryoko."

Yuki Hayakawa's tone was very sincere.
