Still bitter about the change in his own plans Aoba reluctantly followed the group, he was trying to find a way to leave them, hopefully with Mikado and maybe Anri. He'd be more than happy to get rid of Kida and hope he'll get killed before he would have to do it wiht his own hands.
His girlfriend too was getting on his nerves, it was like she knew he was plotting something and that she had the confidence she was able to outrun him if she wanted.
They walked rather slowly, trying to work out their way in the wilderness of that island, it wasn't easy and the large number wasn't really helping.
Aoba also had a problem with the two weird people of that group, the girl was definitely insane and the boy seemed dangerous, or rather he seemed too nice, which for Aoba was a sign that he was indeed very treacherous.
He wasn't in their neighbouring, preferring to stick with Mikado and Anri but he overheard them talking about whether or not he was suited to be Mikado's partner. The girl, Erika if he recalled her name correctly, apparently firmly believed he was gay, while the boy supported the idea that they should do a threesome with Anri.
Aoba was about to throw up.
Kadota Kyohei told him he shouldn't worry too much about the two otaku crazy ideas but he just couldn't help it, he needed to find a way to get out of this group.
They all stopped keeping track of time but when they finally reached what seemed like a river the sun was already high in the sky. They all rushed toward the refreshing water. Some started to drink a bit, some others washing their hands and faces.
Only Aoba stayed away, thinking that since the ones who created this experiment seemed to be really twisted it was safer to avoid drinking or eating anything they'd find on the island before he was sure it wasn't poisonned.
No one really cared about what he was doing so he decided to go explore their surroundings.
When he came back they all were discussing what they should do next, Aoba didn't say anything, he thought that no one would listen anyway.
He was very satisfied when Mikado told them he thought it wasn't very safe if they continued to move together, claiming it wasn't a trust issue about the other group, more a problem with the others on the island. Obviously thinking about Orihara Izaya but not wanting to voice it aloud.
Good job Mikado-sempai, I knew I wasn't wrong in trusting you after all! Were the thoughts flying through Aoba's mind at the moment.
Strangely enough everyone agreed about that and Aoba sighed, it wouldn't have been like that if he was the one who proposed it. Well nevermind the important fact was that they would be moving separately again from now on.
Each group went in two opposite directions, not without joyfully waving goodbye to the others.
