Chapter 7: Trial in open water

Today I was running a bit late for practice because I had to take the classes' math books to the teachers' office and I told Haruka-san and Makoto-san to go on ahead of me. I reached the changing and burst in "Sorry I'm late! Wait what?" I looked up to see everyone stood still around Gou-chan and I crept over to see what was going on. "What's Kou-chan doing?" I asked

"Shh" Nagisa hushed me then Gou-chan dipped her paintbrush into the ink and passionately drew on the paper when she was done it said "48 Days until the Prefectural Tournament!" I remembered having a conversation with Gou about how we wanted the guys to make good use of their time I guess a little pressure never hurts an athlete it might even inspire them. "Gou-chan are you still doing those?" Nagisa asked

"Can you stop that?" Ryugazaki-kun added

"Pressure is what pushes people to the next level." Gou replied

"Pressure can also ruin people." Haruka-san retorted I looked over in his direction it was quite rare for him to openly state his opinion

"Are you talking about Rei-chan?" Nagisa asked which clearly annoyed Ryugazaki-kun

"I'm not that weak!" he retorted and Makoto let out a chuckle at their argument but then raised his head in thought

"Wait, why are you wearing a hakama?" He asked

"Stop talking and start practicing!" Gou yelled and they all sped out the room in fear I couldn't help but chuckle, "Get going! Honestly..." she sighed the wind then started to pick up and howled through the room sending Gou-chan's countdown papers scattered on the floor we both turned around to look Gou-chan screamed in horror and I sighed, "Man..." she muttered and I walked over and started to pick them up.

"This is such a pain..." I muttered as I picked up the papers as I picked one up I noticed something sticking out from underneath the rug, "Hm, what's this?" I picked it up from underneath the rug it looked like a booklet of some sort.

"What's up? Did you find something?" Gou asked and she poked her head over my shoulder she gasped, "This is..."


"Iwatobi High School Swim Club Summer Training Camp From Hell On A Deserted Island? Kou-chan do you know something about this?" I turned around and she was gone through the door.

"You won't believe this! Zaki-chan found something amazing!" Gou shouted through the door frame, "Come on!" she came back in and dragged me outside. We stood in front of everyone presenting our discovery.

"Iwatobi High School Swim Club Summer Training Camp From Hell On A Deserted Island…" Makoto-san muttered

"Hell?" Ryugazaki-kun muttered

"Deserted island?" Haruka-san muttered

"Sounds fun!" Nagisa shouted as he leapt forward he looked like he had a glitter of excitement in his eye.

"This took place several decades ago, when Iwatobi still had a swim club!" Gou announced

"So what's your point?" Ryugazaki-kun asked

"So we should steal their training regimen and hold a training camp on a deserted island!" Gou suggested, I think she and Nagisa have their heart set on this training regime, she snatched the regimen out of my hands and pointed towards the changing rooms, "To prepare for prefecturals!"

I feel like we're in the motivational scene of a cheesy sports movie…

"Too much effort." Haruka-san bluntly said sitting at the edge of the pool with his hand in the water

"There is now time for complaining!" Gou turned pointing at Haruka-san, "Look at the training regimen they used!" she opened it up to show us.

The pages were brown but the diagram was still clear it showed the drawings of four islands one looking like a wolf about to eat something with a boat just below it to the right. The waves were drawn similar to folklore art. Each island had an arrow coming out of it and pointing in the direction of the island next to it forming a circle. This is probably a circuit.

"They swam long distances in the ocean. From one deserted island to the next. Don't you think this training would be perfect for building stamina?" Gou said excitedly

"The ocean…" Makoto-san muttered I looked up at him he looked a little bit sad…Makoto-san didn't seem like himself

"Yep the ocean!" Gou didn't notice but I looked in the corner of my eye Haruka-san even noticed he was looking towards Makoto-san at the corner of his eye.

"We should participate in the same training regimen that our storied swim club used!" Gou added

"Our swim club was storied?" Nagisa asked tilting his head

"Yep, look what I found." She pulled out a piece of paper from the back of the book and pointed at a certain line

"Sixth place in the Iwatobi Junior Tournament." I muttered it's not bad but…

"Weak." Nagisa and Ryugazaki-kun muttered in unison

"Anyway! Right now the Iwatobi Swim Club needs stamina!" Gou added

"Kou-chan's right! Summer is probably the perfect time to hold a training camp!" I added

"That's right Zaki-senpai! In the ocean! On the deserted island!" Gou shouted…Gou-chan you really have your heart set on the deserted islands.

"Wait, I don't see how deserted islands are relevant here." Ryugazaki-kun said

"But it's more exciting when you add the deserted islands" Nagisa explained

"I know right? So let's hold a training camp! Your decision, Captain?" Everyone turned to Makoto-san

"Huh? Oh…I guess it's a good idea to hold a training camp to help prepare for prefecturals." Makoto-san replied

"Hurray! It's settled, then!" Nagisa exclaimed

"Yipee!" Nagisa and Gou yelled


20 minutes later…

We all headed towards the faculty office to try and have Miss Ama-chan fund this "Deserted Island Training Camp" which will be…highly unlikely, "The club doesn't have money for that." I was right

"Then we could ask for our generous advisor to pay for it!" Nagisa tried to butter her up

"I'm not that generous!" Miss Ama-chan retorted, "Besides, people only get that lucky in TV shows and manga." Well she isn't wrong… "The Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw, said it best. "The book that has had the most influence on my life is my check book."" We all stared at her in confusion…she could have just stuck with a resounding "no"

After our chat with Miss Ama-chan, the guys got changed and Gou came with me to grab my bike and we all headed to the convenience store to buy popsicles and drinks.

"But I really wanted to go to a deserted island with everyone." Nagisa complained whilst biting into his chocolate popsicle, "If the school won't pay for it, we can try to pay for it ourselves." Nagisa suggested

"I can't afford it." Ryugazaki-kun bluntly stated, "We had to pay for the uniform ourselves, and I bought a non-speedo swimsuit." He explained

"I also bought a swimsuit." Haruka-san added

"Basically we've all spent our money swimsuits…" I finished

"Rei needed a swimsuit, but the rest of you didn't need to buy one." Gou added, "Especially not Haruka-senpai."

"All your swimsuits look the same." Nagisa stated

"They fit differently." Haruka-san retorted

"We could all find part-time jobs." Nagisa suggested

"It's a little late for that now, Nagisa-kun." I answered

"Unfortunately, it looks like this plan's a bust." Gou complained and the two begun to sulk

"Wait." Makoto-san broke the silence and the first-years turned around, "I'll think of something. There should be a way to hold a camp without needing money." Makoto-san declared at that moment Nagisa and Gou jumped for joy

"Mako-chan's getting serious." Nagisa exclaimed, I looked up Makoto-san I still couldn't get over the look on his face when Gou first mentioned the ocean…Makoto-san are you hiding something? However now Makoto-san is still smiling his usual smile

"We can count on our captain!" Gou shouted even Haruka-san noticed but he continued to chew away at his popsicle taking a large bite out of it.


We all followed Makoto-san to his house to grab some camping equipment, "I'll give you a hand." I stated as Makoto-san headed inside

"Really? That'd be great, thanks! Just follow me" He replied, he opened a cupboard at the end of the hall and pulled out a green bag, "Could you grab the other?"

"Sure" I replied and entered the cupboard I could hear footsteps coming down the hall that must Makoto-san's little brother and sister if I remember their called Ren-kun and Ran-chan.

A little girl with dark olive-green hair and a little boy with short brown hair came running in "Whatcha doing, big brother?" Ran-chan asked as she clung to his arm and Ren-kun jumped on top of his back

"Are you camping? I wanna come!" Ren-kun proclaimed I couldn't help but giggle the two of them are adorable!

"I've got a training camp with Haru and everyone else. Maybe some other time." He answered

"What? That's no fair!" They said in unison

"It's a promise!" The three of them turned to look at me, "We can all go camping with your big brother and the swim club! How does that sound?" I asked the pair's face lit up

"Really? Yay!" Ran-chan and Ren-kun shouted in unison, Makoto-san surprised expression turned to a smile and he mouthed "Thank you" to me for some reason I found a little blush creep onto my face and I smiled in return.


We lugged the heavy camping equipment outside and everyone gave us a hand taking it over to Haruka-san's house. From there we started to unpack everything making use of the large amount off space, "This is some serious equipment." Gou commented

"Our family always goes camping during the summer." Makoto-san explained

"Who gave you permission to use my place for storage?" Haruka-san asked

"But there's so much room here." Nagisa explained and Haruka-san began to sulk. Nagisa began to look at the book in his hand, "Are these all deserted islands?" as he stood up excitedly, "We could camp on a deserted island!"

"That's a bad idea." Ryugazaki-kun stated snatching the book away from Nagisa

"Let's have a barbecue on a deserted island!" Nagisa proclaimed

"Barbecue!" Gou joined

"You two really aren't giving up on this whole deserted island business, Nagisa-kun, Kou-chan?" I muttered

"Now we just need money for transportation." Makoto-san stated we all sighed in unison

"Do you think Miss Ama-chan has a boat?" Nagisa asked

"I seriously doubt it." Ryugazaki-kun answered and Makoto-san gasped

"I know someone with one!" Makoto-san declared and went to grab his cell phone his backpack, "Hello can I order one pizza please?" Whilst he was making this call we all realised who Makoto-san was talking about


Coach Goro arrived placing the pizza on the table and sitting down rubbing his hand on the back of his neck whilst we all stared at him intently waiting for his answer, "Yes, I have a squid fishing boat left by my grandpa. And I have a boating licence. However…" He opened his eyes, "You buy me one pizza and expect me to do you a favour like that?" He asked

"Please help us!" Makoto-san begged raising his hands above his head

"We'll also give you this!" Nagisa added holding out one of the Iwatobi mascots that Haruka-san had hand carved.

"I don't want that!" Goro-san retorted, "Oh, fine." He said finally giving up, "I can't participate in your camp, but I can take you there and back." He explained

"Really?!" Nagisa shouted banging his hands on the table

"Yeah! Yay!" We all shouted it was official we were having a training camp!

"I could use a little cruise." Goro-san admitted

"A cruise in a squid fishing boat?" Ryugazaki-kun contemplated

"Thank you so much!" Makoto-san thanked Goro-san again

"Sure" Goro-san answered

"You can have this!" Gou said trying to hand him the Iwatobi mascot

"I told you, I don't want that!" Goro-san yelled and I let out a giggle.


Later that evening

My parents were in the living room I had already called ahead to say that I had eaten and I had something to talk about, "I'm home" I announced

"Welcome home, Aki." Mom greeted her and Dad was sitting on the couch watching TV, "What did you want to talk to us about?"

I went to sit on the arm chair in our living room, "You see because its summer as a club we've thought it would be best to hold a training camp on a nearby island. We've arranged everything ourselves including transport, food and…"

"Accommodation." Dad finished, "You do have a place to stay, right?"

"Well, the guys are camping but I'm not sure what Kou-chan or Miss Ama-chan are doing for accommodation or if they're camping as well." I answered fidgeting with my fingers

My Dad sighed, "Why don't you call this Kou and see what she is planning to do but other than you can go."

I was ecstatic I stood up and hugged my parents, "Thank you so much! I'm gonna start packing!" as I ran upstairs.

"Just make sure you know where you're sleeping by the end of the night!" Dad yelled from the couch.

I reached my room and got a green sports bag out of one of my draws and placed it on the couch in my room I packed some cool clothes like t-shirts and shorts, a jacket, a swimsuit, pyjamas and toiletries. Maybe I should pack a deck of cards, a board game or a book to keep myself entertained…as I pondered over the topic my cell phone started to ring.

I got my cell phone out of my school bag and saw the caller ID as Gou, "Hello, Kou-chan what's up?" I answered

"Hi, Zaki-senpai we got permission of Miss Ama-chan and she said that she has arranged for the three of us to stay at a hotel on the island! Although we'll have to split the room price three ways she said to ask our parents" She stated

"So how much will it cost us each?" I pondered

"24,000 yen all together we would each have to pay 8,000. The place we've found is great there's an indoor bath that is supposed to have a great view! Plus we'll have some time for girl talk." Gou stated

"I suppose but I kinda feel bad for the guys. I should tell my parents that I've got a place to sleep. Good night, Kou-chan."

"Night, Zaki-senpai." I hung up after that a few seconds later there was a knock at my door.

"Come in!" I shouted and my Dad popped his head around the door and came in.

"Just came to see how you were. So found a place?" He asked sitting on my bed.

"Now that you mention it, I just got a call then of Kou-chan saying that we got the all clear from Miss Ama-chan and she's found a hotel near the beach…we can split the price three ways." I answered walking over to sit next to him on my bed.

"So how much is my wallet gonna cry?" He asked

"By 8000 yen…" I placed my head on his shoulder

"At least it's for a night…" He sighed wrapping his arm around me and kissing the top of my head and giggled awkwardly, I didn't have the heart to tell him the training camp was for a week...


Morning

I had to wake up early that morning and got dressed into a light blue short sleeved polo dress with a pair of white slip ons. I tied my hair up in my usual side braid, grabbed my bag off my sofa and made my way downstairs to be greeted to the smell of cooking. I placed my bag by the front door and headed for the kitchen, Mom and Dad were in the kitchen. "Morning Aki, I made you some toast to eat." Placing the plate of toast on the table.

"Thanks, Mom." I sat down and ate the two slices of toast I love how the two of them woke up early to see me off unlike a certain brother I know…

After I finished I headed for the front door grabbing my bag, "Have fun!" Mom said

"Make sure not to work too hard." My Dad advised, "I'm sure Lazy ass up there would probably say the same thing." And I giggled

"Well then, I'm off!" I waved and walked out the house heading towards the dock.

When I reached the dock all the First years were there all ready, Nagisa turned around "Ah, Zaki-chan! Over here!" Nagisa yelled waving at me.

"Good morning Nagisa-kun, Kou-chan, Ryugazaki-kun." I greeted

"Good morning, Zaki-senpai!" Gou replied

"Good morning, Aki-senpai." Ryugazaki-kun greeted me

"Oh!" Nagisa gasped, "Haru-chan! Mako-chan! Over here!" Nagisa waved and I turned around to see Haruka-san and Makoto-san approaching with the camping equipment and their bags.

"Good morning!" Gou greeted them

"Good morning." Makoto-san replied

"Morning." Haruka-san greeted

"We're still missing Miss Amakata." Ryugazaki-kun stated

"Huh?" I muttered and we all turned to see a small pink car speed right past us and from the car emerged Miss Ama-chan with a handbag and suitcase with a packed lunch on top.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting." Miss Ama-chan apologised, "You must be Sasabe. Thank you for your help. " We were all surprised by Miss Ama-chan's grand entrance, "Please take this. It's nothing much but…" She said giving him the packed lunch that was on top of her suitcase

"Oh, thank you." Goro-san replied taking the lunch of Miss Ama-chan but then he narrowed his eyes looking more closely at her.

"Is something wrong?" She asked

"Oh, uh…" He leaned closer, "Have we met before?" he asked and Miss Ama-chan turned pale and looked slightly horrified

"No, we haven't!" She retorted, "This is the first time I've met you!"

"Is he trying to hit on her?" Gou muttered

"I don't know." I whispered

"Okay, let's set sail!" Goro-san shouted raising a flag with the message saying Big Catch, Sasa, "I'll fly our flag with a prayer for your training camp's success!" Goro-san stated as Makoto-san and I stared at the flag. The boat then began to move…

"Off we go to the deserted island!" Nagisa shouted standing at the head holding onto the flag pole.

"Full steam ahead!" Gou shouted

Haruka-san and Makoto-san were sitting at the back of the boat and I stood at the front next to Gou. Ryugazaki-kun ran to Nagisa pulling him back, "We're not going to a deserted island!" he shouted

"Now, now. Don't be so picky!" Nagisa responded

"I'm not being picky!" Ryugazaki-kun complained


A couple of hours later…

We had arrived at the island clear blue skies, lush green forest, a crystal clear sea and a peaceful beach. "This place is gorgeous!" Gou proclaimed

"I'm so glad I came!" Miss Ama-chan stated and I looked over my shoulder at Ryugazaki-kun his face looked pale and he looked like he was going to be sick

"Absolutely!" Gou and Miss Ama-chan were having their own conversation in the background

"Ryugazaki-kun, are you okay?" I asked bending down and placing my hand on his shoulder

"How's he holding up?" Makoto-san asked coming over to check on Ryugazaki-kun

"I'm okay…" He replied however he then stood up with his handkerchief to his mouth, "I need to go the restroom." And he ran off, I think he went off to vomit.

"Poor, Ryugazaki-kun…" I muttered

Meanwhile, Goro-san was unloading one last thing off his boat it looked like a cooler, "And here's a gift from me." He passed the cooler to Haruka-san and got back on his boat and prepared to set sail. As the boat started moving from the dock he stuck his head out the window, "Good luck! I'll be back for you on your last day!" He shouted

"Thank you very much!" We all shouted

"Is Rei okay?" Nagisa asked looking in the direction Ryugazaki-kun ran off to

Miss Ama-chan was reading through a guide of the island, "It seems there's a sports facility over there. It has a 50 meter pool. We could swim there." She suggested

"We don't have the money to go there." Makoto-san replied

"I'll go look for a good camping site." Miss Ama-chan stated

"Okay!" Gou replied kneeling in front of the cooler that Goro-san gave us, "So what was his gift?" she opened the lid

"Pizza?" I murmured bending down next to her.

"And this is…" quickly going to open the next one

"Mackerel." Haruka-san answered

"You like mackerel way too much." Gou sighed

"What do you expect it's Haruka-san…" I murmured

"Hey…" We looked up to see Ryugazaki-kun out of breath, "Come over here!" pointing in the direction he came from


We followed Ryugazaki-kun to a sports centre where we headed to a window that showed the indoor pool. In there was the Samezuka swim team we could hear shouting and instructions.

"Why is Samezuka's swim team here?" Makoto-san asked

"Oh, Rin-chan's here." Nagisa stated

"Did you do something again, Gou?" Makoto-san asked and everyone turned in her direction

"Huh? I didn't know anything this time." She answered waving her hands

"Really?" Nagisa asked

"I mean, it's obvious that my brother wouldn't listen to anything I say. Plus…" She trailed off she looked in Haruka-san's direction, is Gou referring to that time at the shop between Haruka-san and Makoto-san…

"Plus?" Nagisa pondered

"No, it's nothing." She smiled

"So it's just a coincidence. We should go and say hello then." Nagisa suggested.

"Don't." Haruka-san bluntly said

"Huh? Why not?" Nagisa asked

"I promised him that we would meet at prefecturals." He answered

"What? Really?" Nagisa was surprised and initially Makoto-san looked surprised but then his expression turned to a smile.

"Anyways we should probably head off; I think if Rin-san saw us he'd probably be annoyed." I suggested

"Zaki-chan's probably right, let's go." Makoto-san added and we all headed off.

When we got back to the beach the guys began to pitch their tents, "I wanna swim in a 50 meter pool." Nagisa complained.

"I guess powerhouse schools do get special treatment." Miss Ama-chan stated

"They're clearly in a different class." Ryugazaki-kun sighed

"Doesn't matter." Haruka-san said

"Haru's right." Makoto-san added, "Our goal for this training camp is to build stamina."

"Right, we still have our deserted islands!" Nagisa cheered

"Are you comparing 50 meter pools to deserted islands?" Ryugazaki-kun asked

"Aren't they similar?" Nagisa replied

"How are they similar?!" Ryugazaki-kun retorted

"Okay, then." Miss Ama-chan interrupted picking up her bag, "Let's go check in at the lodge." She turned to Gou and me.

"Yes." Gou replied

"Lodge?" The guys said in unison and rushed over to us.

"What do you mean?" Ryugazaki-kun asked

"We booked lodging for ourselves." Miss Ama-chan explained, "Over there." Pointing over at the rows of hotels

"What?!" they said in unison

"You can't expect a couple of girls to sleep outside. Right, Gou, Aki?" She asked

"Right?" Gou replied

"Traitors! Zaki-chan I thought you of all people would camp outside!" Nagisa shouted

"Sorry, guys!" I apologised

"Class difference again…" Ryugazaki-kun muttered

"We're on the bottom?" Nagisa pondered


We had checked in and came into our room. It was a traditional inn when we opened the door there was a table with three cushions, we removed our shoes at the door and placed them to one side. Gou and I placed our bags down on the wooden flooring and Miss Ama-chan sat down removing her hat and reading through the island guide, "This is a lovely place." Miss Ama-chan commented, "They offer rock bathing nearby. And this says they offer a seasonal facial treatment in summer." Gou walked over to the window and looked a little sad and I walked over to see two boys from Samezuka walking past with shopping bags. Miss Ama-chan kept talking in the background about the different spa treatments.

Gou and I changed into swimsuits. Gou wore an orange and peach stripy one-piece swimsuit with a blue jacket over it whilst I chose to wear a mint and white bikini with daisy pattern with a white short-sleeved jacket. Miss Ama-chan didn't change and we all made our way down to the beach. Gou bought a camera with her and I brought a notebook and a pair of binoculars with me in case they wanted me to record any times and to watch them in the water.

By the time we got there the guys were all in the water their target today was to complete 3 circuits and Ryugazaki-kun has a slightly different regime because he is a beginner. I looked through the binoculars to see where they were in the water and Miss Ama-chan bought a pair of her own. Gou was taking pictures.


A couple of hours later…

The guys had completed their target of completing three circuits. Gou and I had gotten changed from our swimsuits, I had changed into a black short-sleeved panel dress over a pink tank top with black and white stripes and a pair of black sandals. We got the towels ready for the guys we turned around seeing the guys walking up, Gou headed over to Nagisa and Ryugazaki-kun handing them towels. "Good work." I said handing Makoto-san and Haruka-san towels.

"Thanks." Makoto-san replied taking the towel off me.

"Was the training regimen from hell too hard after all? You guys only completed half of it." I commented

"Well, it's the first day." Makoto-san added

"I-I'll do better tomorrow!" Ryugazaki-kun proclaimed

"You'll do fine, Rei-chan." Nagisa assured him

"I'll catch up in no time!" he declared

"That's the spirit." Makoto-san encouraged

"Hey. That's enough performance reviews for now. Let's eat before it gets dark." Miss Ama-chan shouted placing two plastic bags on the picnic table. We all walked over to the table.

"I'm starving!" Nagisa stated

"Oh, no." Miss Ama-chan muttered, "I forgot to buy seasoning." As she rummaged through the bag

"What?!" Nagisa cried

"I'll go borrow some from the lodge." I offered and I handed Gou my notebook and headed off

"Thank you." Miss Ama-chan shouted


I headed to the lodge first however they didn't have any seasoning they could lend because it was dinner time. So the next best place was probably the convenience store so I ran there as I reached the door I bumped into someone making their way out. I jumped back, "Sorry!" I apologised but then I recognised him…

He was a first year from Samezuka, I think his name was Nitori…

"You're the girl from…" he muttered

"What's wrong?" Another voice coming out the store, it was Rin-san

"Rin-san!" I gasped

"Yazaki-san?" He replied, "Nitori, you head back." He instructed

"Oh, okay." He replied and ran off, Rin-san then turned his attention back to me

"Follow me." As he walked over to the benches and I followed

"So, did Gou set this up?" he asked as soon as I sat down

"It's not what you're thinking." I replied

"It's not?" He asked, "Haru and the rest of them are here, right?"

"They are." I answered, "But, it's purely coincidence. We happen to be here for a training camp."

"Training camp?" he repeated, "We're using the pool. Where are they swimming?" He pointed out

"The ocean." I answered however Rin-san's expression turned to surprise

"Makoto's okay with that?" He asked

"Huh? What do you mean, Rin-san?" I asked he then gasped from my question

"Forget it. Never mind." He replied, "Are they completing their regimen?" he asked turning his face away from me

"Yes. Well they only finished half of it today." I let out a little giggle

"What?" He asked

"Nothing." I answered, "It's just…you sound like you still worry about them."

"I'm not." He retorted

"But you promised to meet them at prefecturals?" I asked

"I didn't do it to see them." He responded, "I'm going to beat Haru. That's all I care about." Rin-san declared standing up from the bench and beginning to walk away.

"Yazaki-san?" I looked over in his direction

"Yes?" I asked

"Can you keep an eye on Gou for me?" He asked

I was surprised by his question, "Of course!" I replied with a smile, you probably don't want to admit Rin-san but you really are a good big brother and I watched him walk off back to his lodging.

I stood up to go buy the seasoning from the convenience store.

I came back to hear Nagisa shouting, "Pineapple and hokke!" presenting a pizza with those toppings.

"Mackerel and pineapple." Haru stated presenting his pizza

"What?" Gou asked with everyone looking in disgust at Nagisa and Haruka-san's creations.

"Pineapple's the one topping I'll never put on pizza." Miss Ama-chan stated

"Really? I like pineapple on pizza personally but it's an acquired taste I think." I added

"I hate green peas in dumplings!" Gou added

We all continued to eat our pizza before it went dark and I think Makoto-san helped cheer Ryugazaki-kun up.

The guys were getting ready to go to sleep, "Then Haru and I will be in this tent." Makoto-san pointed at the orange tent

"What? I wanna sleep with Haru." Nagisa cried

"You don't want to be in a tent with me?" Ryugazaki-kun asked sounding offended

"Well, you probably grind your teeth when you sleep." Nagisa answered

"I don't do that!" Ryugazaki-kun retorted

"We can use a ladder lottery to decide." Makoto-san suggested

"I'm in!" Nagisa cheered

Miss Ama-chan, Gou and I watched the guys draw in the sand to see who would share tents with whom, "Let's head back to the lodge." Miss Ama-chan suggested

"Oh, yes." Gou replied

"Yes, lets." I answered and Gou followed Miss Ama-chan as she walked back to the lodge. I looked back at the guys, "Why isn't Rin-san with them?" I pondered

"Zaki-senpai! What's wrong?" Gou asked, waiting for me

I shook my head and ran to catch up with Gou and Miss Ama-chan.


I'm sorry for the long waits for updates, I was re-reading some chapters and I decided to re-write some parts with this one I wanted to change Aki's outfits. I will get this finished and then I'll do some OVA style chapters with Aki and the different guys!
