Chapter 10: The Preparations For Camp
"Since this year is almost coming to an end, the school has decided to have a 3 day and 2 night camp in school." Nikaido announced.
The class instantly became rowdy as they discussed on the thing they would do during the camp.
"Quiet, here comes the important part." Nikaido said as she slammed the table.
"We will join up with class 2-A and 2-C. You are allowed to choose who you want to be in a group with, the maximum number of people allowed is up to 10. When you've decided, submit this form to me." Nikaido continued as she handed down the forms.
Various people started gathering around and discussing their plans with each other.
"I think the 2-B Pencils should stick together." Chihiro suggested as she looked at the form.
"Well, since we always stick together, I don't see a problem." Miyako agreed.
"Let's do it!" Ayumi said enthusiastically.
"How about you?" Chihiro asked as she faced Elsie.
"Erm... I was planning on joining up with Nii-sama... So..." Elsie said awkwardly.
"What about you, Tenri-san?" Elsie asked.
"I-If it's okay with Keima-kun then..." Tenri said shyly.
"How about you Haqua?" Elsie asked as she turned.
"I think I'll also stick with Katsuragi." Haqua said as she blushed
"Well, the camp is on this wednesday so we still have one more day to think about it." Chihiro said as she placed the paper on her desk.
"We should ask Yui to join us too!" Ayumi suggested.
Keima was silent as he gamed furiously.
"What's with this developement?" Keima thought before several more thoughts went through his head.
Homeroom was over quickly and lessons for the day started.
After the first few lessons, there was a small break and the 2-B Pencils went to look for Yui.
"Hey, Yui!~" Chihiro said as she knocked on class 2-A's door.
"Yes?" Yui replied as she walked over to the door.
"So, you want to join us for the camp?" Chihiro asked as she shoved the paper in front of Yui.
"Ah, sorry, but i plan on joining darling." Yui said.
"I see... Katsuragi again..." Chihiro mumbled but left after the 2-B Pencils said their goodbyes.
When Yui returned to her seat, Tsukiyo asked her, "So, what did they ask you?".
"They asked me to join their group for the camp but i declined because I'm going to join darling~" Yui said happily.
"I see..." Tsukiyo said.
"Maybe you want to join with darling too?" Yui asked.
"M-Maybe..." Tsukiyo said but the thought made her blush.
During lunch, all the girls except Miyako were at the roof top as usual enjoying their lunch.
When everyone started to relax, all the goddesses came out.
"And what might you all be doing here?" Keima asked in an uninterested tone.
"Okay, we'll have our hosts join Katsuragi's group so that we can finally settle this once and for all." Diana suggested.
"I would never allow that man to get near Tsukiyo as long as I'm here." Vulcan declared.
"That is a good idea." Mars said as she nodded her head.
"S-Shiori will also do her best!" Minerva chimed in.
"Ayumi is Katsuragi's wife, she will be the one." Mercury said sleeply.
"Didn't you goddesses already have this discussion?" Keima asked annoyed.
"If you would chose one of us already, we wouldn't be having this problem! So just chose Tenri already!" Diana said.
"No fair! Katsuragi, you should pick Yui, who else can protect you?" Mars said.
"I can protect myself just fine!" Keima said.
"Then pick Ayumi, you guys are already a married couple..." Mercury said.
"That marriage is invalid!" All the other goddesses said at once.
"..." Chihiro, Haqua and Elsie were seating aside as they watched the drama unfold.
"Okay, then we'll just write our names on the form..." Mars said as she handed the form around and each goddess wrote their host's name on it.
After that, the goddesses returned.
There was a moment of awkward silence.
"I-If you're all going to join, i might as well join to right, Elsie?" Chihiro said as she took the paper.
"Sure!" Elsie agreed.
"I-I'll join too okay?! It's not like i want too but since everyone is there..." Haqua said.
"Do as you wish..." Keima said coldly.
"W-What's with that attitude?!" Ayumi shouted.
"Let's have lots of fun during the camp, darling~" Yui said as she grabbed onto his arm.
"D-Don't touch me!" Keima said as he tried to pull his hand.
"Why is it only you who gets to hold Keima?" Tsukiyo said as she held Keima's other free hand.
"T-Tsukiyo?!" Keima said as he lost his cool.
Shiori was at a lost as she didn't know what to do.
As they were pulling Keima, the bell rang.
"Ah, classes are about to start!" Elsie said as everyone began to keep their bentos.
"We should hurry." Haqua said.
Back in class, Miyako was sitting by herself as she saw the six entering the classroom.
"You guys came back with Katsuragi?" Miyako asked.
"N-No, it's just a coincidence. We just happen to come in together, right?" Chihiro said as she looked at Ayumi.
"Y-Yeah!" Ayumi said.
"You filled up the form already, that was fast." Miyako said as she just took the paper from Ayumi's hand.
"W-Wait!" Ayumi said but she was too late.
As Miyako was looking through the list, Ayumi and Chihiro were panicking.
"Why's Katsuragi's name on it?" Miyako asked as she looked at the duo suspiciously.
"W-Well..." Chihiro stammered.
"So that I can be together with Nii-sama and the 2-B Pencils!" Elsie said.
"Whew... that was close." Ayumi thought.
"He said do what we want so hey, why not? It's not like he'll do anything to us." Chihiro said.
"I guess you're right." Miyako said as she thought about it.
"Haqua-san is also going to join us?" Miyako asked.
"Y-Yeah..." Haqua said.
"Also, who's Tsukiyo Kujo and Shiomiya Shiori?" Miyako asked.
"They're my friends from class A and C!" Elsie said.
"I see, well any friends of Elsie can't be all that bad." Miyako said as she returned the form.
"I think the camp is going to be interesting." Miyako said.
"That would be the last word i use to describe it!" Keima thought as he mashed the buttons on his PFP.
