The Reason Why The Cool Beauty Who Repeatedly Ignores Messages Replies Only To Me. ~The Lonely Beauty Wants To Know The Lonely Me〜 - Chapter 41

Episode 41: Summer Vacation Never Ends! Enjoy! (Hell)

“So? What’s your proposal?”

I poured some barley tea and placed the cup on the table in front of Tamari, who was lounging on the sofa.

I know that Tamari’s proposal are never any good.

“Yeah! My proposal is this!”

Tamari shouted unnecessarily and pulled out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of her overalls once again. Overalls are really convenient.

“Ta-da! I’m inviting Kotoku-kun to the campsite that my father runs.”

Tamari holds out a flyer that says “Seaside Campsite” towards me.

“A seaside camp…? Did your dad start another new business?”

“Yeah, he did. He’s always so busy.”

Tamari’s father is a talented entrepreneur managing various businesses, and apparently, the reason the Michifuji family went to Hawaii was partly to inspect business opportunities there.

By the way, due to an investment from my father during Tamari’s father’s when he was still unknown, our parents have been friends ever since. Because of this history, Tamari’s father seems to have taken a liking to me.

I’m guessing that Tamari’s annoying interactions with me are due to her father’s brainwashing.

“Isn’t camping really popular right now? So my dad happened to have some land near the sea, and he made a campsite there.”

“Happened to have…?”

“So, the campsite is opening next week, and he said we can use it exclusively before that! I was upset we couldn’t take you to Hawaii, so I sulked, and my dad said okay!”

I could see her father’s intention to bring me to the Michifuji family…

“Is that camp… just the two of us, you and me?”

“Yeah! A seaside campsite with just me and Kotoku-kun… and of course, sharing the same tent at night… ♡”

“Nothing will happen, so relax.”

“If you don’t like tents, we can use a rocky area by the beach… okay?”

Tamari asked shyly, pointing towards my crotch.

This brat.

“Hey, it’ll definitely be fun! Let’s go camping!”

Camping, huh…

If I were to go camping with the Saeki sisters, I’d have to cook meat 24/7, which I absolutely hate, but in Tamari’s case, if we remove her usual annoying traits, it wouldn’t be stressful…

Despite being an indoor type, I sometimes feel like relaxing under the sun.

Just spending summer vacation every day playing games or reading books in an air-conditioned room feels a bit dull.

But the problem is being alone with Tamari…

“Mmm…”

“Kotoku-kun, don’t think too hard… Oh, could it be! You want to invite Saeki-chan to the camp?”

“Absolutely not. I swear to God, it’s different.”

“Don’t ever invite her.”

“I won’t.”

“It’s no good if you invite her.”

Tamari tried to lead me into inviting her with that old-fashioned attitude, but even if I wanted to camp alone, I definitely wouldn’t invite that dangerously carnivorous high school girl.

“Tamari, after all I.”

“Oh, by the way, if you refuse, I might end up saying something to my father.”

“You… were planning to threaten me from the beginning, weren’t you?”

“No way! It’s all Kotoku-kun’s fault for not going out with me.”

This girl…

I clenched my fist in anger but managed to hold back.

“My dad will cover all the expenses, and we can eat as much as we want and go to the sea as much as we want, okay? What’s there to complain about?”

The one to complain about is you.

“Kotoku-kun has always been unenthusiastic. You didn’t come to Hawaii either.”

“That’s irrelevant.”

“Anyway! Are you coming or not?”

“…Sigh. I’ll go, okay?”

“Yay!”

“But in return, don’t say weird things to your dad. My parents will hear about it too.”

“Yeah! I won’t say anything like ‘I gave Kotoku-kun my virginity.'”

I thought it was a good decision when I said I would go.

The day of the camp.

She said she would prepare the camping gear over there, so I packed the essentials into my backpack and left home.

Apparently, we’re taking a bus to the campsite, so I came to the usual station at the meeting time… but.

“Oh, Okami, it’s been a while.”

Machibari…

“Kotoku, you’re late.”

Mishiro…

And then—.

“Oh, Okami-kun. You are late.”

The three of them, including Yukine Saeki, the final boss, were sitting on a bench at the bus stop by the station.
“W-Why is everyone gathered together like it’s the most natural thing…”
And so, the (hellish) summer camp was about to begin.

[Afterword]

Next time, we’ll move on to the summer camp arc!
