Two days after the group assignments, we were now on the bus heading to the orientation camp.
Yuuka was sitting next to me, with Kaori and Kouhei behind us. Kaneki-kun and Kanemoto-san were in the two seats on the other side of mine.
Yuuka had been looking forward to today’s orientation and was visibly excited.
“Orientation sounds fun. I wonder what we’ll be doing?” (Yuuka)
Our high school’s orientation didn’t come with a detailed booklet or anything — they just gave us a handout listing what to bring, so none of the students knew what we’d actually be doing on the day.
“Yeah, I wonder what it’ll be like too.” (Yuuto)
As I said that, I started eating the snacks I’d brought along.
Then Yuuka opened her mouth wide, begging me for one of the snacks I was holding.
When I placed it in her mouth, she began crunching it down like a little hamster.
Kaneki-kun, who had been watching, commented.
“Wow, you just feed her like it’s the most natural thing in the world.” (Tomoya)
He seemed a little taken aback at how casually I did it without a hint of hesitation.
“We’ve been doing this since forever, so it doesn’t feel strange at all.” (Yuuto)
Field trips in kindergarten, excursions in elementary school, middle school orientations, and school trips — we’d always done it like this. At this point, not doing it would probably make me feel uneasy.
After Yuuka finished eating my snacks, she offered me some of hers. When I reached out to take them from her hand, she quickly hid them.
Since I had fed her earlier, she probably intended to feed me this time.
With no choice, I opened my mouth, and Yuuka happily placed the snack inside my mouth.
After I ate it, Yuuka began pampering me—patting my head, pressing my head against her chest.
Recently, she’d been trying to spoil me more and more.
Maybe she had awakened to something… but lately, whenever I felt the softness of her chest, it often made me sleepy.
Meanwhile, Kanemoto-san had been watching our exchange.
“Wow, she’s seriously spoiling him. And they looked so relaxed… I’m jealous…” (Yuki)
I couldn’t quite catch the last part, but it seemed she was extremely envious.
“Yuuka, wake me up when we get to the destination.” (Yuuto)
When I said that to Yuuka, she nodded in agreement, and I stepped into the world of dreams.
At that moment, Yuuka had the most charming smile on her face.
Just as I was losing consciousness—
“Sensei, this lovey-dovey couple is making me suffer.” (Tomoya)
I heard Kaneki-kun’s voice.
“Deal with it.” (Lia)
And came Lia-sensei’s unmotivated reply.
