Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Teambuilding!

Everyone got up early and prepare the things they needed for the event. While Naegi is taking the company's mini bus, Misato helps the employees by reminding them what they need to bring. Naegi arrives, Misato started to headcount. After confirming that everyone is up, all of them got in and starts their trip.

Kyousuke withdraw a cash and buy beverages like beer and wine. While buying, Kyousuke remembered that many of them is not drinking alcohol so, he went to the convenience store and bought many juices. When he came back, Aoi saw him bought many things. He asked Aoi to bring his blender on their room.

[Kyousuke]: Aoi, Can you get that thing.

[Aoi]: What thing?

[Kyousuke]: The blender.

[Aoi]: Ah, your blender.

[Kyousuke]: It's not just a simple blender, It's a sharku blender!

[Aoi]: Yeah, Yeah, I'll get your "Sharku blender"

Upon arrival, Naegi didn't bought tickets but they got in. In shock, Kyousuke is the only one who bought a ticket and Naegi already secured their ticket online. "How come there are no one who informs me?"

*Yesterday*

While everyone was duscussing about the teambuilding, Kyousuke just rants on his mind and didn't heard anything.

[Kyousuke]: It should be a hiking not a swimming. Swimming is for amateurs. Tsk.

*Present*

[Aoi]: And that's what happened.

[Kyousuke]: Then why didn't you inform me?

[Aoi]: I mean, I want to see you become idiot.

Each person has some work to do before enjoying. Yuri will arranged the baggages. Kazumi, Kyousuke, and Shin are in charge of starting the fire. Mizuki, Yuuki and Kentaro will be in charge to cook. Aoi and Shiina will be the one who prepares everything. Everyone starts doing their chores except Kyousuke and Shin. "Hey, hey. You two. Want to dip in pool?" Kazumi told Shin that they should make their part first but Kyousuke and Shin starts persuading Kazumi.

[Kyousuke]: It's not like they will need the fire right away right?

[Kazumi]: You got a point. But.

[Shin]: You're too responsible Kazumi.

[Kyousuke]: You don't want to?

[Kazumi]: I want to but i don't want to be scolded by them. They are quite a pain to deal with.

[Kyousuke]: Then if they are finding us just say any excuses you can come up with.

Kyousuke pats Kazumi's back. "Goodluck". Kyousuke and Shin run towards the pool when they bumped into Aoi and Shiina. Aoi glares at Kyousuke with a cold eyes and Shiina and Shin stares at each other. Shin slips on their side and run towards the pool. Shiina chase Shin "HEY! Don't run on me!" Kyousuke was about to do like what Shin did but Aoi gives him a smacks him and get dragged back to Kazumi.

Kazumi, Who is busy making fire, saw Kyousuke being dragged by Aoi. Aoi ask's Kazumi to not let Kyousuke run or he will also get the consequences. Kazumi agrees. Kazumi ask's Kyousuke what happened.

[Kyousuke]: We bumped into each other.

[Kazumi]: And?

[Kyousuke]: Aoi smacked me down?

[Kazumi]: Uh-huh... And?

[Kyousuke]: HE DRAGGED ME BACK.

[Kazumi]: Didn't i tell you?

Kyousuke sighs. "Fine, I will light it up." Aoi went back and started preparing the ingredients while Mizuki and Kentaro guides them. Meanwhile, Naegi and Misato are watching them from the distance, talking about them.

[Misato]: Hey Naegi.

[Naegi]: What is it?

[Misato]: Do you think we really need this team building?

[Naegi]: What do you mean?

[Misato]: Isn't it all of us are already close enough to each other?

[Naegi]: Maybe You're right. But, I atleast want them to enjoy their time. Especially those four who is close on experiencing it.

Naegi points at Kazumi, Yuuki, Kyousuke and Aoi. Misato smiles, realizing that this was Naegi's purpose from the start, not the usual purpose of teambuilding. "I see." Shiina and Shin suddenly appeared on their view. Shiina stops and apologizes to them. "No, It's not a big deal. Just enjoy yourselves." Shiina thanked Misato and continued chasing Shin.

Aoi finished preparing. Kazumi and Kyousuke also finished igniting the fire. Mizuki and Kentaro started to cook. Kyousuke asked them if it's already ok to dip in the pool now and Aoi gave them permission. They immediately run on changing room. Mizuki also tell Aoi that she can enjoy herself now. Aoi was happy, but wants to change with Shiina so she finds him.

While changing, Kazumi and Kyousuke had a conversation about love.

[Kyousuke]: So, Did you already made a move on Yuuki?

[Kazumi]: No, Not yet.

[Kyousuke]: Want me to help you?

[Kazumi]: But, You should have other priorities don't you?

[Kyousuke]: Yeah. But it's no use rushing things too much.

[Kazumi]: Yeah. Of course that's true.

Aoi saw Shiina playing with Shin in the pool but, It was actually Shiina still not giving up on chasing Shin. She just go back to Mizuki and help them. When she got there, Mizuki and Kentaro seems like they don't need help anymore. She sighs as she go to the nearest bench and think about things. Yuuki approached her.

[Yuuki]: May i sit beside you?

[Aoi]: Yeah, sure.

Yuuki sat besides Aoi. It was so quiet and when Aoi tried to talk to her, Yuuki ask's her,

[Yuuki]: Why are you here alone?

[Aoi]: Everyone is busy. And I've got nothing better to do.

[Yuuki]: Want to soak in the pool?

[Aoi]: If you don't then.

Aoi came with Yuuki to change clothes. While on the way, Kyousuke and Kazumi saw them. They shouted at them, "Hey, Come with us in the pool." Aoi waves her hand on them. As they changing clothes, Yuuki got curious, "Can i ask's you a question?" Aoi just brushed the question as she got a hunch what the question will be. Yuuki refrain from asking her. They joined them in the pool afterwards.

Kyousuke saw Aoi with a different swimsuit. Intense, fierce woman. A bottle shaped figure, and a flashing danger signs in her eyes. Kyousuke didn't noticed he was staring at her. Aoi felt slightly embarrassed. Kazumi shakes Kyousuke until he snaps back to reality. What Kyousuke saw afterwards was Aoi's embarrassed expression, and Yuuki telling him to stop staring to her. Kyousuke apologizes to Aoi. "Don't mind it" Kyousuke then pull Aoi to the pool and Yuuki jumps. Yuuki was already in mid air when he noticed Kazumi. They collided to each other and Yuuki close her eyes because of the splash of the water. When she opened her eyes, She saw herself holding Kazumi with both of her hands and Kazumi catching her. Kazumi ask's her, "Are you okay?" Yuuki immediately let go of Kazumi pushed him gently and look sidewards. "I...I'm fine.

Misato and Naegi joins them. Shiina and Shin suddenly popped out of nowhere again on Misato and Naegi. Misato panicked and squeak. "Eeeeeeck" Everyone looks at Misato, Kyousuke say's to Kazumi.

[Kyousuke]: Did we heard her squeak.

[Kazumi]: Yeah, she said "Eeeeeeck", I think.

[Kyousuke]: That's kind of... cute.

Misato just grins at them and looks at them with threatening eyes, "Ah, I see. Cute you say?" She forcibly dragged Kazumi and Kyousuke in the highest slide. Kazumi was scared of slides while Kyousuke scared of the height. "I think i will pass." Misato just laughs at them and teased them, "Are you by chance, Scared?" Kyousuke and Kazumi suppressed their fears and boast's on Misato. When they are in front of slide, Kyousuke tried to run but Misato pulls him on the slide and pushed him. "Misato, you bastard!" Kyousuke screams as the slide turns left and right and becoming faster and faster. "AAAAAAGGGHHHH" Kazumi tried to say an excuse to Misato. "I think Mizuki and Kentaro needs my help." But Misato replies, "It's faster to slide than to go down." Misato also dragged him in slide and pushed him. He screams louder than Kyousuke. "HEEEELP MEEEEEE." Misato followed them by sliding, Only her enjoyed the slide.

Aoi laughs hard on Kyousuke. When Misato is almost in the bottom, She signals Kazumi, "Look out" Kazumi looks at slide and it was too late. Misato accidentally kicked him in the face. "It hurt's Misato." Misato holds his head and squeezing it. "It's Ms. Misato, Learn to respect, Kazumi."

Mizuki ask's Yuri to call everyone to eat. When everyone was gathered, They are surprise on how many and how delicious the looks of the food. They eat immediately and they eat like there are no more foods left for them. Kyousuke brought out the beer, wine and fruits and make it a fruit juice on the table.

*30 minutes later*

Everyone was lying except Misato and Naegi. They can't move because they eat too much. Naegi and Misato was also partially drunk. Yuri is the only one who is still normal and panicked, not knowing what to do in all of them. She just take a glass of water for Naegi and Misato for them to sober gradually and help everyone stand.
