Nightfall.
The girls' dormitory.
It was also very difficult.
Kushida Kikyo wasn't speaking at all, and when Ibuki Mio spoke, it was only to forcefully express her demands.
Sakura Airi, Tsube Hitomi, Kamuro Masumi.
The three only chatted among themselves.
Although Tsube Hitomi and Sakura Airi also thought about breaking the ice.
Breaking this atmosphere.
But honestly.
It was basically impossible.
The Kushida Kikyo they originally thought was gentle and kind.
They actually found out she was just collecting dirt behind their backs and would use their secrets as gossip to post online for people's amusement.
Undoubtedly a form of betrayal.
Even if they didn't care in their hearts, they didn't know how to face Kushida Kikyo, let alone Kushida in her "broken-pot" state.
As for Ibuki Mio.
If there's business, find her; if not, she had no desire for contact.
Sakura Airi and the others weren't the type to cause trouble for others either.
Therefore.
Before the lights went out.
Several of them had already fallen asleep.
From the innermost to the outermost were Ibuki Mio, Kushida Kikyo, Tsube Hitomi, Sakura Airi, and Kamuro Masumi.
Mainly because Ibuki Mio wanted to sleep on the inside.
Sakura Airi wanted to sleep with Kamuro Masumi, ....Masumi proactively chose the outermost edge, creating this layout.
Soon.
Nearing midnight.
Kamuro Masumi, lying in bed, opened her eyes and looked back at everyone still sleeping.
She secretly changed into her down jacket and cautiously left the room.
Instantly.
Ibuki Mio sat up and was surprised to find Kushida Kikyo opening her eyes next to her at the same time.
"I didn't expect you'd be up too. As expected, I knew there was something wrong with that person proactively sleeping on the outside."
"What was that sound?"
Tsube Hitomi rubbed her sleepy eyes and said:
"Is Ibuki-san going to the restroom? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"Hah, no way. Why would I need someone to accompany me to the restroom? Are you an idiot?"
Ibuki Mio quickly put on her down jacket.
Hearing the movement around her, Sakura Airi also sat up and said unclearly.
"What's wrong?"
"That Kamuro person snuck out. I'm going to see what she's up to."
Hearing this.
Sakura Airi was instantly wide awake; she knew Kamuro Masumi all too well.
Even she.
Occasionally thought Kamuro Masumi was quite a pervert.
Going out in the middle of the night.
She was probably meeting Hikigaya to do something exciting.
"No, no, you can't go."
Sakura Airi quickly got up to block the way, speaking with a panicked face, which immediately drew the gaze of the other three.
"Hmm?"
Ibuki Mio raised her eyebrows and looked at Tsube Hitomi again.
In the darkness, only the outlines of several people could be seen.
"What do you mean? Are you guys secretly plotting something?"
"No, it's not like that..."
At this time.
Kushida Kikyo got up and turned on the light. Sakura Airi's face was flushed, her eyes were dodging, and she stood awkwardly at the door.
"What 'not like that'? Move."
Ibuki Mio, who had changed clothes, glared at her instantly, making Sakura Airi's shoulders tremble.
"If that person does something against the rules, the whole group will have their trip canceled."
"I don't care what you do, but don't involve me."
Clearly.
Whether in strength or position.
Sakura Airi had no ability to stop the other party.
"Airi-chan."
Tsube Hitomi was also somewhat confused: "Do you know something?"
It couldn't be helped.
If everyone was affected due to an individual's reasons.
Naturally, they would be unwilling.
Even Kushida Kikyo furrowed her brows.
After all.
A rare school trip.
They didn't want to be locked in a room to study.
"No..."
Sakura Airi was even more conflicted, but also clear she couldn't stop Ibuki Mio and the others, she pursed her lips and said:
"Then I'll call Masumi and tell her to come back?"
"That person didn't seem to bring her phone."
Ibuki Mio glanced at the phone on the bedside table and said: "And even if we call her back today, it's useless, right? We can't watch her all the time. Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude."
Saying so.
Ibuki Mio walked toward Sakura Airi, who was blocking the door.
"I understand..."
Sakura Airi closed her eyes and said:
"Then at least don't bring your phones, please."
Ibuki Mio and the others gave her searching looks.
Seeing Sakura Airi looking as scared as a little rabbit, they ultimately didn't push it.
"Got it, move."
"Since it affects the whole group, let's all go together."
Tsube Hitomi quickly put on her clothes. Kushida Kikyo and Sakura Airi also followed quickly, and several of them walked out of the room.
Although the lights were out.
Adults still had their nightlife; the lobby was still brightly lit, and only students were restricted.
Only Kamuro Masumi was nowhere to be found.
"Maybe we should go back."
Sakura Airi followed behind several people, her pretty face full of conflict.
"Actually, Masumi wouldn't do anything that would affect everyone."
"You really do know something, don't you?"
Ibuki Mio narrowed her eyes and glanced at her.
However.
Sakura Airi's eyes dodged and she immediately stopped talking.
There was no way around it.
How was she supposed to say it?
She couldn't just say Kamuro Masumi went to seek excitement with Hikigaya.
Really.
If she was going to do it.
Why didn't Kamuro tell her in advance.
"Hmph..."
Ibuki Mio gave a soft snort; she couldn't stand this kind of behavior where someone has something to say but doesn't, which was truly irritating.
Even Tsube Hitomi was also somewhat troubled.
If she didn't speak up.
She couldn't help either.
"But we don't know where Kamuro-san went now. How about we go back and ask her tomorrow? What do you think?"
"No need."
Ibuki Mio snorted coldly, looking composed.
"The curfew has passed. If she were in the inn, she wouldn't need to change into a down jacket. That person definitely went to the courtyard."
It had to be said.
Ibuki Mio's reasoning was very sound, and none of them refuted it.
"If you don't want to go, you can go back. I'll go find her myself."
Saying so.
Ibuki Mio hurried to the courtyard, and Tsube Hitomi and the others exchanged glances and quickly followed.
Kushida Kikyo followed without hesitation.
Besides being a bit curious.
They were still a group, after all.
For the sake of group unity, they should act collectively; at least she wouldn't cause trouble for the group.
However.
They called it a courtyard.
But for a large inn that could accommodate over two hundred people, the area was quite large.
After searching for a long time.
"Is that her? Why are there two people?"
Ibuki Mio pointed at a corner of the wall and lowered her voice.
However.
It was pitch black ahead, with only the moonlight illuminating a faint silhouette.
Two figures were seen hiding behind several pine trees.
Seeing this.
Ibuki Mio was about to rush up.
"That person, as expected, is planning to do something!"
"Wait, Ibuki-san, maybe it's not Kamuro-san. Let's see the situation first."
After speaking.
The four girls arched their bodies and sneakily hid in a corner to observe the situation.
Following behind, Sakura Airi's face was flushed as she lowered her head, not knowing what to do.
