Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Bonfire Party; Encounter
This holiday, the forest school activities were actually just for fun, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
On the first day of the activity, Hyotei students stayed in a special dormitory near the woods. It was not until the second day that they officially moved to the woods for activities such as picnics and camping, and the second day was also the busiest.
After finishing the picnic during the day, as night fell, everyone in the class sat around the lit bonfire on the open ground. The regular night event of the forest school - the bonfire party officially began.
Atobe Keigo took advantage of his unparalleled prestige and sat next to Tamane as a matter of course.
Because he was sitting there, the female classmates around him looked a little reserved at first and were not very relaxed. But as the activity progressed and became more and more popular, everyone gradually forgot about his presence and started singing and dancing. It was very lively for a while.
Now it was Keigo Atobe's turn to feel a little uncomfortable. He had told Yuin before that he had participated in many camping activities since he was a child. This was not a lie, but Keigo Atobe had never been so down-to-earth before. This was also the first time he sat around the campfire, singing and dancing like this.
The flames danced with the singing and suddenly there was a crackling sound.
Atobe Keigo subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and turned his head slightly, and Yuyin's profile with a raised mouth came into view.
The firelight shone on her face. The two of them were sitting very close to each other, so close that Keigo Atobe could see Yuyin's long feathery eyelashes, which cast a shadow under the dancing firelight, but that could not hide the brilliance in her eyes.
Saionji Tamon's eyes were originally a low-key amber color, but under the light of the fire, they were also painted with a layer of brilliance. The vitality emanating from them made Atobe, who was staring at her, stunned.
"What's wrong, Keigo?"
Perhaps she noticed someone was looking at her, Yuyin turned her head and saw Atobe sitting there in a trance. She followed Atobe's wandering gaze to the other side and suddenly realized something.
She pulled Atobe Keigo up and asked with a smile, "Do you want to dance?"
"Um?"
Before Atobe could react, she pulled him into the crowd and said, "Look, it's very simple. You can do any moves you want."
Feeling the warmth from his palm leave, and watching the demonstration given by Tamane, Keigo Atobe's movements were a bit stiff. There would be no problem for him to dance ballroom dances like tango or waltz, but he felt very uncomfortable with this kind of casual dance. In the past, he would have scolded him for being "unglamorous".
But looking at Yuyin's happy smile, Atobe blinked and forced himself to move and learn this "unglamorous" dance.
Yuyin nodded and smiled, "You learn very quickly."
Atobe raised his head and said, "Of course. Look who I am. There is nothing in this world that I can't learn."
By the campfire, all the classmates who noticed the two of them were a little stunned. Although they had heard rumors that Atobe-sama was dating Saionji Tamon from their class, and a few previous incidents also showed that the relationship between the two was unusual, but no matter how many rumors they heard, it was not as shocking as witnessing the intimate interaction between the two with their own eyes.
A curious female classmate nudged Asami Saya next to her with her elbow and asked quietly, "Hey, Asami, is Atobe-sama really dating Saionji?"
Asami Saya looked inscrutable. She pointed at the two people dancing as if no one was around and asked, "What do you think?"
Saya Asami is the female classmate in the class who has the best relationship with Saionji Tamon. When she said this, there was no objection, and the female classmate who asked the question felt that it was confirmed. Although the fact that the campus idol Atobe-sama has a girlfriend is a bit depressing, even if Saionji Tamon didn't exist, Atobe-sama would not have become the boyfriend of their group. Thinking of this, she felt much calmer.
After calming down, the female classmate looked at the two people by the campfire and suddenly had an epiphany.
Isn’t it just a transformation from star chasing to CP support?
I can!

Yuyin was completely unaware of the changes in the mentality of some of the female classmates in the class. The bonfire party lasted for more than two hours before it came to an end. The students packed up their things, put out the fire with the reserved water, and went back to their tents to sleep.
Many people often have trouble sleeping when they first encounter an unfamiliar environment, especially this time in a tent in the wild. Yuyin heard the sound of her classmates tossing and turning.
But Yuyin used to travel a lot on missions and had to sleep outdoors, so she fell asleep quickly.
However, this does not mean that she is not vigilant enough. Yuyin had already explored it before, and there were no signs of big monsters and cursed spirits in the surrounding woods. And because there are frequent human activities in this area, wild beasts and small monsters will not actively attack humans. This made Yuyin feel at ease when approaching.
Even if an emergency occurs and an enemy attacks suddenly, with her keen alertness, she can wake up and respond immediately.
So Yuyin had a good sleep and didn't get up until dawn the next day.
Compared with the previous day, the next day was a cloudy day. The sun hid behind the clouds and the sky looked a little gloomy.
However, everyone had been overly active in the picnic activity the day before, so the camping arrangement for the next day was basically free activities, with no specific mandatory content. Most of the Hyotei students decided to walk around the camp, while some people were already packing up after washing and having breakfast, preparing for their departure.
Tamane and Keigo Atobe thought the same. After completing their class tasks, they planned to pack up their things first. As soon as the camping activity was over, the Atobe family's special car would drive to the campsite.
Since the Gunma forest where the forest school activities were held was relatively close to Karuizawa, Atobe Keigo and Tamane did not plan to return to Tokyo with the school's special bus. Instead, they were directly picked up by the Atobe family's car and taken to the nearby Karuizawa villa.
The two of them were quick and efficient and finished the tasks assigned by the class in a short time. In addition, neither Tamane nor Atobe brought much extra luggage, so after packing for a while, the two of them were completely free. Atobe Keigo saw that Tamane looked a little bored, so he invited her to take a walk along the river bank.
Since you are in an unfamiliar area, it is easy to get lost if you walk too far. But it is different if you walk along the river. With the river as a signpost, you can come back the same way you went out.
Besides, Atobe was carrying a positioning communication device with him. Even if he really got lost in the woods, the professional troops of the Atobe family would be able to find them in minutes, not to mention that Yuyin had another trump card.
Lost?
It doesn't matter, just call a little monster out to ask. There aren't many other monsters in the mountains, most of them are little monsters like mountain boys and river boys. With the powerful Yuyin here, those little monsters will definitely send them back to their destination with great respect.
When Yuyin told this to Atobe, Atobe looked at his empty hands and curled his lips: "Fortunately, I didn't bring a tennis racket with me."
Yuyin knew that he was recalling the orienteering training in Karuizawa where the little monsters were the staff who set the obstacles, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Atobe was now numb to the sight of Kappa and Yamashita, and there was no novelty to them at all.
"When I was at the forest dormitory asking about this forest, I heard the ranger tell me that over ten years ago, a child was swept down from upstream and drowned. Local legend has it that the child was killed by a kappa. This made me worried that there might be evil spirits around here, so I quickly asked a few little spirits. They all said no one had been hurt. Plus, I didn't sense any malicious spirits nearby, so I guess the child really was swept down by the river during the rainy season and drowned, and it wasn't caused by a spirit."
At the end, Yuyin's tone was a little sad when she thought of the young life that was accidentally lost.
Atobe Keigo knew very well that Tamane was finding out all this for his safety. She always believed that because of her, there were loopholes in the security around Atobe and that there was no 100% guarantee. Although Atobe didn't understand why she blamed herself like this, the matter of hiring a special bodyguard was basically the decision of his mother and the housekeeper. If the person who came was not Tamane, he would not have really brought people from all over the place to travel, so she didn't need to blame herself at all.
That's what he thought, and he said it directly.
"Keigo, you..."
Feeling Atobe's thoughtfulness, Saionji Tamane was about to say something when she suddenly felt a familiar demonic aura approaching. She paused, "Could it be..."
"It's all because of you, Mr. Cat, that you suddenly ran out without saying a word. I got lost trying to find you."
"Meow, what are you talking about, meow? It's all thanks to me that we were able to get out of the woods!"
Before she could finish her words, a man and a cat who were arguing emerged from the bushes ahead. When they noticed someone else in front of them, they both stopped talking. The young man was just thinking of an excuse to make it go away – he couldn't let passersby find out that the cat could speak – when they heard a familiar voice shouting.
"Natsume-kun, Neko-sensei, why are you here?"
The three people and the cat looked at each other and found that they were all acquaintances. Even Keigo Atobe had some impression of Takashi Natsume. After all, when they were attacked by monsters in Karuizawa last time, it was Tamane who came to rescue them with this boy named Natsume and a monster that looked like a big white fox.
Natsume Takashi was relieved to find that the person by the river was actually Saionji Tamon. "It's Miss Saionji, it's nothing. Neko-sensei and I were delivering something for Aunt Tachiko to a friend who lives nearby. On the way back, we accidentally got lost and ended up here."
Yuyin had discovered before that perhaps because of his powerful spiritual power, there were always some small stories related to monsters happening around Natsume. When she saw Natsume Takashi appear here, she had to say that her first reaction was that there were some monsters causing trouble nearby?
It was not until she heard Natsume's answer and knew that he was passing by to deliver something for his adoptive mother Fujiwara Toko that Tamane felt relieved.
"Is that so? Are you going to the station? It's not close to here," Yuyin recalled the nearby topographic map she had memorized just in case, estimated the distance, and said kindly, "Natsume-kun, why don't you just wait a little longer? Keigo's driver will be here soon, and we can take you and Neko-sensei to the station so you don't have to walk so far."
