I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"Teacher Tamashiro, all 40 students in Class A are here."

"Okay, please."

The two squad leaders walked back to the team.

In front of the team, a woman who looked to be around 40 years old—the temporary homeroom teacher of Class 2-A, Tamashiro—began to speak.

"Students, please be quiet. The teacher will now explain the precautions during the school trip. Please listen carefully."

"First, the school trip will last for three days..."

"Second, during this period, no individual actions are allowed. Remember..."

"Third, after that..."

"..."

"Okay, did everyone hear that clearly?"

"I heard it clearly."

"Okay, then let's line up and get on the bus in an orderly manner."

As the order was given, all the students in Class 2-A began to line up, put their suitcases into the luggage compartment of the bus, and then got on the bus.

Now they will take a bus to the tram station and then take the Shinkansen to their destination, Kyoto.

The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding.

They were already on the train to Kyoto.

Amemiya Ye was leaning against the window, and next to her was Shinohara Shiori.

After taking a few glances at the scenery outside the window, Amamiya Ye looked at the young lady next to her who started reading a book as soon as she got on the car.

"Student Shinohara."

The sound of turning pages.

"Shinohara."

Still staring at the book intently.

Amemiya Ye puffed up her cheeks.

This person is really stubborn. She has been trying to persuade Shinohara for these days, but it is already December and the school trip is about to start, and this young lady has ignored her during this period.

Whenever she tried to discuss anything related to Teacher Hirakawa, she pretended not to hear.

There was no other way, so Amamiya Ye could only not talk about this topic for the time being.

"Where are you going on the school trip?"

"..."

Finally, facing normal topics, Shinohara Shiori temporarily closed the book in her hand.

Amemiya Ye was able to see the title of the book clearly.

"The Golden Pavilion."

Amemiya Yo took her eyes off the copy of "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" in Shinohara Shiori's hand.

"anything else?"

"Kiyomizu Temple, Inari Taisha Shrine, and these." Shinohara Shiori said concisely.

"They are all very popular tourist attractions." Amamiya Ye thought for a while and commented.

Shinohara Shiori saw through Amemiya Ye's thoughts at a glance, lowered her head, opened the book again, and turned to the page she had seen before.

"Although I sometimes don't like places with too many people, but... deliberately pursuing the so-called niche and thinking that what most people accept is vulgar, should I say, is this worthy of being called a chuunibyou?"

The words were spoken in a light tone, with a hint of sarcasm.

Amemiya Ye stiffened for a moment, then stared at Shinohara Shiori's profile angrily, as if to scare her with her eyes.

"Teacher Hirakawa would never mock me like you do."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori stopped talking and just read the book quietly.

Yu Gongye ignored her and looked out the window.

On school trips, you are not allowed to travel alone, but must travel in groups of 2, 4, or 6 people.

Although Amemiya Ye is no longer as withdrawn as before and is not as resistant to contact with other people, it does not mean that he will take the initiative to contact people he is not familiar with.

By this time it was the second semester of the second grade, and everyone's social circle had almost been established. So when we encountered a situation where we needed to find people to form a group, we were faced with a rather embarrassing situation where no one was able to form a team.

Of course, she is not the only one who has encountered her situation, Shinohara Shiori is also one of them.

So, when Amemiya Ye came to her, although she felt that there was a high probability that Amemiya Ye would pester her to tell her about her plans, it was still better than being forced to be assigned to someone she was not familiar with at all.

Anyway, that's how it is. For this school trip, Shinohara Shiori and Amamiya Yo became a group and would act together for the next three days of the trip.

As for the "Chuunibyou" that Shiori Shinohara just mentioned...

After the school festival ended, Amamiya Ye's behavior suddenly changed. Although I am not very clear about this kind of group, I at least know something about it.

After a brief contact, she knew that Amemiya Yoru was probably suffering from the so-called second-year syndrome, right?

It doesn't matter what.

……

Arrived in Kyoto.

As one of the three major metropolitan areas in Japan, Kyoto is also prosperous. Of course, this prosperity is different from that of Tokyo.

The Shibuya intersection, Tokyo's most prosperous city center, has millions of people passing through it every day. This is a kind of modern urban prosperity.

Kyoto's prosperity is not like this. At least if you compare it in this aspect, it is definitely not as prosperous as Tokyo.

Its prosperity is a kind of cultural prosperity that comes from historical sedimentation. Temples can be seen everywhere, ancient buildings...all kinds of things make up Kyoto.

This is probably the feeling you want to experience when you come to Kyoto from Tokyo.

"Okay, students, you can start group activities now. Be sure to pay attention to safety and remember to assemble on time."

"Yes."

……

"Why must this body act with you?"

As they walked towards their destination, Amamiya Ye complained.

"It was Amamiya-san who offered to be in a group with me."

Shinohara Shiori walked slowly, looking at the scenery on the street.

"Do you think this body is willing?" Yu Gongye was still not satisfied, "You should know why this body is with you."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori was silent for a moment, then answered.

"I have already answered you about this before. This matter has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Are you really not unwilling at all? I don't believe it. In the past, if I just said something about what happened to Mr. Pingchuan, you would be so unwilling that you would become twisted."

"..." Shinohara Shiori stopped and stared at Amemiya Ye beside her.

"...What?" Yu Gongye shrank his neck, then quickly straightened his chest, "I'm not wrong, you were like this before."

Shinohara Shiori started walking again and entered the entrance of the tram station.

"You also said it happened in the past."

Amamiya Ye ran after him.

"Even if it's something from the past, I just don't believe you can let it go so quickly."

Shinohara Shiori ignored the noisy Amamiya Yoru.

Perhaps, even if the teacher forced me to choose a companion in the end, it would be better than Amamiya Ye.

Hmm... No, because it is more likely that the person who is forced to be designated at the end and who also has no team will still be Amamiya Yoru...

So there's no way to escape?

Ok.

Shinohara Shiori accepted the reality.

As for what Amamiya Ye said...let her say whatever she wants.

Giving up means giving up. What can she do even if she wants to?

Unilateral intentions will ultimately be wishful thinking. This has been proven before and there is no need to try again.

The wishful dream has ended, and the best outcome is to forget it after waking up.

After all, investing your heart in someone who has no chance at all is like a moth flying into a flame.

This kind of thing will never happen again.

……

"This body is tired."

...Perhaps what Amemiya Ye said was right. Although she didn't think there was anything wrong with those popular attractions, she also didn't have the idea of ​​pursuing uniqueness.

But as expected... there are still too many people.

All the planned travel routes have been scrapped.

Shinohara Shiori reflected... Actually, she didn't have much travel experience. To be more precise, she seldom went out in normal times.

I naively planned this travel route, but I still underestimated Japan's population density and the flow of people at popular attractions.

"This body is tired!"

Another shout came to my ears.

Shinohara Shiori finally stopped ignoring him and turned around.

Amemiya Ye, who was wearing a Lolita dress, stopped a few steps behind her and looked at her with dissatisfaction.

"Then just take a rest."

After all, we are in the same industry, so I cannot ignore her opinion.

"There's a convenience store next door." Amamiya Ye pointed.

"...Then go."

Shinohara Shiori answered with some helplessness.

For some reason, ever since his true nature was exposed, Amamiya Ye's behavior seemed more and more like that of a child in her eyes.

Should we attribute this to chuunibyou again... Maybe, chuunibyou is somewhat childish, and there's nothing wrong with saying it's like a child.

……

The two walked towards the convenience store.

The cashier in the store was a girl wearing a baseball cap, and her soft Kyoto accent was obvious in her welcoming voice.

"Welcome...?"

I don’t know why, but at the end, the ending went up a bit, as if I saw something surprising.

Shinohara Shiori glanced at her.

She immediately retracted that look, lowered her head slightly, and hid her eyes under her baseball cap.

Shinohara Shiori didn't care anymore and walked in with Amemiya Yo.

……

"..."

Ye Yue Liya lowered his head, and through the cover of his baseball cap, he carefully watched the two people who walked into the convenience store.

Although the girl in strange clothes seemed to be more worthy of attention, her eyes were more focused on the...
