When I entered the auditorium, the announcement of the survival recreational standings and the awarding ceremony was in progress.
　I was supposed to have collapsed in front of the restroom due to anemia, and with the teachers in the auditorium concerned, I hurriedly made my way to my team's line, which was lining up.

The team leader is back.
Are you sure you're ready to move?
I'm fine. It's all right. I'm fine.

　When I returned to the group, Aihara-san and Ishida were happy to see me safe.

''Yuki-kun, er...thank you.''
Thank you so much.
Thank you, sir.

　The chairman, Junna and Auru-chan muttered just that and looked forward.
　There must be a lot more to say, and all three of them are somewhat squeamish. But since it's not a topic that can be talked about here, they couldn't seem to say anything more than that.

''Hmm?''

　I feel a hot stare, so I glance to the side and see Soji staring at me with envy. I don't have any interest in that side, so I pretend I didn't see it.

''Huh? What about Takigawa?
Since Yuki-kun wasn't here, he's on stage as the team's representative.

　I looked forward at the words of the chairman of the committee and saw that Takigawa was on the stage in the auditorium. As I recall, only the representatives of the top three teams would be called to the front. That means that our team was in the top three.

''Ah........''

　However, there was a representative of the Fan Club Coalition squad standing next to Takigawa.
　Last time I saw them, the Fan Club Association had built more structures and tools that seemed to score higher than our team. In addition, the second half of the game was a survival recreational activity without me, who had fallen asleep.

"We lost.........

　The Fan Club Coalition had multiple squads working together, so it's no wonder they lost. The other team had a bit of a cheating approach, and let's just complain about a lot of things and pretend the bet never happened. Let's do that.

Finally, first place goes to the first team of E. Congratulations.
Thank you!

　Takigawa thanked us cheerfully and received the certificate.
　After announcing the rankings, third place went to the unknown squad, second place went to the fan club alliance, and first place seemed to be the first squad of us E's. What do you mean!

'Come to think of it, I didn't know about Yuki. Just before the end of the day, Takigawa dragged a wild boar over.
A wild boar!

　I heard that Takigawa had set a simple animal trap made of ivy while taking river fish and wild plants.
　And when I went around to dismantle the trap near the end of the recreation, a wild boar was hung on one of them, and I was said to have captured it successfully.
　The teachers were baffled by the unprecedented situation, the students were all stunned, and the hunters who have been cooperating were astonished.
　As a result, all the hunters had to send the wild boar back to the school without permission, and the teachers lectured Takigawa that he had gone too far. However, we were given a special score for our skills, and our group won first place by far.

"Boy Scouts ... that's awesome,

　No, purely because Takigawa is awesome. I didn't expect to catch a wild boar with ivy.

'There were traces of something hanging on the other trap as well, so if I had gone to look around a little earlier, I might have caught another boar,' you said. You said that.

　As Ishida told me that story, a scene suddenly came back to my mind.

Do you have any idea what those traps look like?
Hmm? I'm pretty sure it was made like this.

　Ishida drew a simple diagram on the printout at hand and showed me.
　There was no doubt about it. Was the ivy when the black dress fell down a trap set by Takigawa!

Hey, Kosuke, you're back. Yeah, we're back, baby!

　While holding up the first place certificate, Takigawa...no, Takigawa-san came back.

'Thank you very much, Takigawa-san. We owe the victory to you.
Yes, oh, oh. Respect it to the hilt!

　After that, I treated Takigawa with respect for a while, but he made me feel uncomfortable, so I stopped soon after.
　Okay, Takigawa likes occult stuff, so if I find something, I'll tell him as a token of my appreciation. Hm? I mean, I'm a massive piece of occult stuff myself. Okay, let's not. Let's repay you in some other way.

"Takigawa, if you need help with anything, just let me know. I'll be happy to help you with anything.
Yeah, oh, hey. What's going on? Shouldn't you be getting a little more rest?

　I spoke to him seriously as I gave him the thumbs up, and he was seriously worried about me.

　The next day. We cleaned up after the survival recreation, and the overnight recreation ended successfully.
　As we cleaned up, we went to look at the remains of yesterday's battle, but all traces of the battle had disappeared. It was probably covered up by the Mizukami family's magicians. It's an amazing feat.

''I heard we're planning to go to a hot spring afterwards!
Hot springs?
I heard they're renting out a famous local hot spring and everyone's going to get in.

　Aihara-san and the committee chairman told me. I don't think it was written in the pamphlet, but....

The teachers said it was a stylish gesture by the owner of an office building in front of the station. It's only this year, and it would be rude to refuse the offer, so they've all agreed to go with me.
I wonder what the partition of the open-air bath is like? Do they have mixed baths or something?
It sucks.
It sucks.
Guffaw!

　Takigawa has been steadily lowering the stock that rose in wild boar capture.
　By the way, it is great to rent out the hot spring. We should be grateful to the owner of the office building.

"Onsen Onsen!
"I'm sorry, but there's no room for urls.
"What?
No, of course not.

　Urus helped me out a lot this time, so maybe next time I'll take everyone to a private hot spring. But I wonder how much a private hot spring would cost. I'll have to consult with my wallet later.

"This is huge! Awesome!
A fine spa.

　Takigawa and Ishida are naked and impressed. The hot spring was that great.
　It seems to be a famous place in the area, and apparently it's an okay price just to get in. There was an event where Sorge approached me with a smile to wash my back, but I politely declined the offer since I wasn't interested in that. Of course, there was a nice partition in the open-air bath.

　On the bus ride home, which was two hours behind schedule at the hot springs, we were all bombarded with recreational fatigue. We were tired from the recreational activity and all of us fell into a deep sleep.

Hmm?

　Just before I left Asahikawa city, I was struck by a strange sensation. Such a strange sensation, as if I had left my body behind.

'Is it my imagination?'

　It must have been my imagination, because I healed quickly. I'm still tired. I decided to take a nap along with the others.
