The First Day of the School Trip (Continued)

As he spoke, he pointed to the back of a girl. If he remembered correctly, that girl's name was Miki Yamamura.

At that moment, Kushida, a classmate, slid down the mountain and stopped next to Shuichi Kanda and the others.

"Hey, Shuichi, Ayanokoji -san, Ryuen, what are you doing here?"

Kushida raised his goggles and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Kikyo, you've come at the perfect time." Shuichi Kanda eyebrow. "That girl, I think her name is Miki Yamamura, do you know her?"

"Miki?"

Following Shuichi Kanda's direction, Kushida immediately recognized the person. "It really is Miki. What happened to her?"

Shuichi Kanda then told her about it, and Kushida looked worried.

"Miki, she has a rather weak presence... and seems a bit airheaded."

After hearing Kushida's explanation, Shuichi Kanda other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"So, that guy didn't get on the wrong hammock, did he?"

"Never mind, let's go up first."

So the four of them split into two groups and followed in chairlifts.

Miki Yamamura is also a member of the first five teams and is in the same team as Kushida. Logically, she should be under the responsibility of Chabashira Sae, but because Chabashira is unwell, Shuichi Kanda is temporarily in charge of her.

Therefore, Shuichi Kanda decided to take responsibility for beginners like Yamamura, who might actually slide down from an advanced level...

There's a high chance of getting injured.

"Speaking of which, Kikyo, you actually know how to ski?"

"Hehe, yeah, I've learned how to ride one before." Kushida grinned sheepishly, almost like Ichinose had possessed him. "Speaking of which, this must be Shuichi's first time riding this swing chair, right? Aren't you nervous or scared?"

"It's alright, as long as you don't move around too much, you shouldn't fall."

In fact, even if Shuichi Kanda, it wouldn't matter, because the hanging chair wasn't very high off the ground for safety reasons.

With his Black Belt, Shuichi Kanda wouldn't get hurt even if he fell from this height, so it's okay.

"Actually, many things are the same. As long as you act within the rules and follow the rules, there will be no danger. This is certainly the same."

Kushida tilted his head and nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"But it's really interesting that Ryuen and Ayanokoji are sitting on a hanging chair together."

When Kushida mentioned this, Shuichi Kanda laughed as well.

Last winter, Ayanokoji really beat Ryuen to a pulp, and now, less than a year later, the two of them are sitting on the same hammock. It's quite amusing.

I wonder what the atmosphere is like between the two of them right now.

"Ahem, it's not nice to talk about others behind their backs, pfft!"

"It's clearly Shuichi who's laughing the loudest."

Soon, the chairlift they were riding arrived at their destination, and Shuichi Kanda and Kushida got off one after the other and came down to the ground.

"Phew~ It feels so good to be down-to-earth."

Hearing Shuichi Kanda's remark, Kushida couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He had said he wasn't afraid before, but now he was saying something like this.

Shuichi Kanda pretended not to hear Kushida laughing, and then began to survey the surroundings. The slope was steeper than he had imagined, completely different from when he looked up from below.

"This is a bit bad, we can't see Yamamura."

Shuichi Kanda looked around, but couldn't find anyone in the crowd.

This ski resort isn't just for school students, so there are actually a lot of guests here right now. It would be very difficult to find just one person among them.

Not to mention, according to information obtained from Kushida, Miki Yamamura is a person with a very low profile.

"I thought she'd realize she couldn't skate this route and stay by the chairlift... Could she have already skated down...? That can't be happening, right?"

Kushida looked somewhat dumbfounded. That Yamamura, no matter what, was still a student in the initial Class A. Surely she wouldn't be so stupid as to slide down from here, right?

At this moment, several students from Class A gathered around.

"What's wrong? Shuichi, judging from your expressions, did something happen?"

It was Hirata from Class A who came up to talk to him; it wasn't surprising that Shuichi Kanda was in the advanced area.

Upon hearing Hirata's question, Shuichi Kanda told him about it.

"Yamamura -kun? I understand, I'll help you look for him." Hirata nodded and immediately agreed to help search.

"Let me help too. After all, we're classmates from the same school, we should help each other."

Besides Hirata, Shibata from Class C also came over and offered to help.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Besides these, the students from Class D were also reporting something to Ryuen from a short distance away.

Seeing this, Shuichi Kanda a pang of emotion. He didn't know how the previous students were, but at least this year's students showed remarkable initiative and cohesion.

With the students' help, they quickly located the Yamamura, and then Shuichi Kanda saw the other person fall directly into the snow.

"Well... how should I put it? She seemed to know this was an advanced area, so she didn't try to ski downhill recklessly."

"I'll go help her, then you can rest assured, right?"

"Hmm, you're really reliable, Kikyo."

"Hmph, you'll have to make it up to me later."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Having received Shuichi Kanda, Kushida began skiing towards the Yamamura.

"Hmm, that's really fast, and your skiing technique is excellent."

Kushida also went to help with the Yamamura that he had been worried about, and Shuichi Kanda trusted Kushida quite a bit.

She has strong conversational skills and can become close to most people, so there's no need to worry.

Since that's the case, let's enjoy the fun of skiing!

Shuichi Kanda smiled expectantly.

"What's with that expression? Are you planning to ski down from here, you beginner?" After finding the Yamamura, Ryuen was ready to continue enjoying skiing.

"Hehe, Ryuen, let me tell you something: some people cannot be judged by common sense."

With that, Shuichi Kanda braced himself on his ski poles and glided off, his movements completely different from before.

Watching Shuichi Kanda fly out with the most perfect posture, Ryuen's lips twitched. Damn, is this what genius is?

Feeling the wind blowing on his cheeks, Shuichi Kanda's smile gradually became unrestrained. Then, after reaching a certain speed near the street, Shuichi Kanda suddenly jumped up and flew directly down the Yamashita.

"Yo-ho~~~~"

Shuichi Kanda's extraordinary actions attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

"Wow, that's amazing..."

"Where did this skier come from?"

"So handsome!"

After flying for a while, Shuichi Kanda landed smoothly on the ground, then used his ski poles to make a turn, finally stopping at the chairlift.

After this trip, Shuichi Kanda had only one feeling—awesome!

That was awesome!

While moving at high speed, the scenery kept flying past and behind me, the wind was blowing on my body, and the cheers of the other people around me.

This Shuichi Kanda.

Moreover, the Black Belt is truly amazing; it not only grants Shuichi Kanda exceptional Judo skills but also the ability to perfectly control his body.

As expected, the items produced by the system are not as simple as they seem.

And so, Shuichi Kanda spent the entire afternoon there, having a great time.

At 5 p. m., the students arrived at the hotel in groups, with Shuichi Kanda and his group being the first to enter.

"This place is really nice."

The hotel is built in the style of an old building, but the interior has been carefully maintained, so there is no smell of decay.

"It feels pretty good here."

Shuichi Kanda and the others changed into the hotel slippers while waiting to collect their keys, placing their suitcases beside their feet.

Just as Shuichi Kanda was waiting to receive the key, Chabashira-sensei walked over.

"Oh, right, there's something I need to tell you. The boys in the first and second groups will be sharing a room."

Both the first and second groups consist of six people, with only four boys in total.

Shuichi Kanda nodded, seemingly unconcerned. After all, the other boys were also sharing a room in groups of four, and if they were to share a room, aside from the question of whether it would be a waste of money, it would be a waste of their time.

Students might feel dissatisfied at first.

For example, why can they stay in double rooms, but we have to stay in four-person rooms?

While there are ways to resolve this, some superficial work still needs to be done.

Therefore, Shuichi Kanda was not dissatisfied with this.

Therefore, the four people in Shuichi Kanda's room, besides Shuichi Kanda, were Kanzaki and Watanabe from Class C, and Ryuen from Class D.

"In that case, let's go back to our room first."

But...

"Hey, Watanabe."

Hearing someone call his name, Watanabe turned around and saw a Boston baguette approaching him.

"Wow!"

Watanabe, who caught the bag with both hands, was still bewildered and looked surprised.

"Please take this to the room, I need to take a shower."

Ryuen threw his luggage out, seemingly intending to have Watanabe help him move it.

As Watanabe, unable to refuse, gave a wry smile, Ryuen disappeared into the depths of the hotel, probably in the direction of the large public bath.

Seeing this, Shuichi Kanda shook his head helplessly. However, this was a matter for the Ryuen Group, and Shuichi Kanda did not intend to interfere.

However, it seems Watanabe has no intention of throwing the bag away.

In fact, Watanabe was relieved that the boys from the first and second groups were sharing a room.

Because if he and Ryuen were to share a room...

Just thinking about that scene sent shivers down Watanabe's spine.

"Is it alright? If you don't want to help him, I can teach you a way."

"Huh? What?"

Upon hearing Watanabe's words, Shuichi Kanda pointed to the counter to his right.

It had a few words written on it: Lost and Found.

Upon seeing this, Watanabe tried to smile but couldn't, his face showing a forced expression.

"If it were me, I would definitely do it that way. As for you, you can decide for yourself what you want to do."

Shuichi Kanda patted him on the shoulder and said this.

At that moment, some people from the girl's side also came over.

Is there something you need?

"Um, isn't tomorrow a free day? So we'd like to discuss our group activities starting tomorrow. After all, it's a rare trip to Hokkaido, and I'm sure everyone has a lot they'd like to visit."

Since there was basically no time for discussion during the day, Hasebe and the other girls prepared to discuss this matter.

Shuichi Kanda thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"What do you think, Kanzaki?"
