After the guts test was over, it was time to prepare the bonfire party venue.
Ryuji ordered and arranged the work.
The nearby forest shed has wooden poles that are traditionally used for bonfires and need to be moved.
No one would take the initiative to follow such a difficult and troublesome thing. In the end, the lottery method was adopted, and men and women were equal.
The wooden poles used are not heavy, and can be lifted by two girls.
"Hyakki-san, let's go!"
Yotsuba was also a weirdo, and she was still smiling at that damn thing.
Ryuji is the student council president and is in charge of supervision.
But as a man, seeing Yotsuba work hard alone, it would be a shame if it didn't help.
With a sigh, Ryuji joined the line carrying the wood.
The corners of Yotsuba's mouth lifted slightly, she was not as simple-minded as she seemed.
Ryuji moved the wooden pillar to where the bonfire party was, and saw that a few students were about to greet him, and then boasted a few words, the student council president should take responsibility for himself or something.
As for Yotsuba, she ran elsewhere to dedicate her love halfway.
"Hey, I didn't expect it to be this heavy."
The other side of the wooden pillar lifted up, and it was Ichika with a pretty face and short silky hair.
"Hi, Hyakki-kun, I'm here to help," Said Ichika with a smile.
"Actually there's no need, I can do it myself." Ryuji said.
"Well, don't say that, I still have strength." Ichika clearly misunderstood his meaning.
With the kindness of others, Ryuji couldn't chase her away, and the two acted together.
"It feels like it's been a long time since we walked together like this."
As expected of a sister, Ichika's dialogue is the same as Nino's.
"When do we walk together?"
The quintuplets always act together, and Ryuji is rarely alone with any of them.
"Have you forgotten, Hyakki-kun, 'Sensei, it's a pleasure to be your student'." Ichika blinked playfully.
This is the line Ichika followed in a movie audition.
"At that time."
"Yeah, since then… Hyakki-kun has been our Sensei for a long time," Ichika said with a smile: "Those timelines are spot on, Sensei~"
"Don't call me that, I'm not used to it."
"Ah, could it be that Hyakki-kun has some sense of shame?" Ichika said slyly.
"Absolutely not."
"That's right."
Anyway, after all this time together, Ichika gradually learns about Ryuji's speech habits.
The two head back to the warehouse, and Ichika gets a little nervous when no one is around.
"That, Hyakki-kun..." Ichika called Ryuji to stop.
"What is wrong?"
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
Even though it was a bit strange, Ryuji still nodded.
"Okay."
The key to the shed was on Ryuji, closed the door, and the two were alone.
"Actually it's about the bonfire party tomorrow," Ichika said slowly.
As a person of interest, she should have a good talk with Ryuji.
"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble," Ichika sincerely apologized.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a dance."
Ryuji's disapproval made Ichika feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ah, I'm still a little nervous. This is my first time dancing with a boy." Ichika rubbed her head to relieve the awkward atmosphere.
"Everything is there the first time, just get used to it in the future." Ryuji looked at Ichika and said, "Would you like to try it now? I don't want to be stepped on by you tomorrow. "
Ichika blushed like an apple, and could see clearly even in dark surroundings.
"Okay," Ichika said boldly.
How sophisticated is the liveliness of a group of high school students, even the most basic ballroom dancing is not noticed, only hugging and holding hands.
Ryuji held Ichika's hand, and his other hand wrapped around the girl's waist.
Ichika was taken aback, and her face became even redder.
"Relax."
"...Um."
The two of them connected slowly, from the start Ichika didn't know anything, she became what she is now... Trembling.
"Looks like Hyakki-kun is pretty good at it, is this really your first time dancing?" Ichika asked carefully.
"That's right."
For the first time in this world, there was nothing wrong with that.
In fact, Ryuji wasn't very good at it, but his mental strength had improved, and he had more detailed control over his body, basically knowing many things at once.
Ichika staggered, her balance broken, and she crashed into a wooden pillar next to her.
"Danger!"
The vertical wooden pillar received an uneven force and fell towards Ichika.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Ryuji pulled Ichika into his arms.
*BAM*
When the wooden pillar fell to the ground, Ichika's heart seemed to have hit hard!
