Amane pondered for a moment.
"No."
"Eh! Amane, how can you bear to watch me get drenched like a drowned rat in the downpour? I don't believe Amane you would be so heartless."
Ichinose showed a confidence unlike her usual self.
"Why are you so confident about this? If I saw you getting rained on, at most I'd give you an umbrella. I wouldn't be as idiotic as you, insisting on coming to get wet together."
Amane's words made Ichinose puff out her cheeks in annoyance.
She was so good to Amane, yet Amane wasn't even willing to get wet with her. What a bad Amane! Should she watch Amane get rained on next time?
Just as Ichinose was thinking about how to tease Amane, her eyes suddenly lit up; she seemed to have thought of something.
"What if I needed to change clothes in Amane your room, then take a hot shower, and stay overnight? Under those conditions, would Amane you be willing to get wet with me?"
Ichinose clasped her hands in front of her chest.
She looked at Amane with anticipation.
Suddenly, Amane lifted the tracksuit, and immediately both of them were exposed to the torrential rain. Ichinose, sitting in Amane's arms, immediately burrowed into Amane's embrace, soaked.
"Ahhh, so cold, so cold! Amane, quickly put the tracksuit back on, our clothes are all wet!"
Seeing that Ichinose was sufficiently drenched, Amane put the tracksuit back on.
"I'm telling you my answer through my actions. If what you say is true, let alone getting wet with you, you can get wet for as long as you want."
Amane's words directly made Ichinose both angry and amused.
"Seriously, whenever it's about naughty things, Amane you become an idiot. If you keep getting wet, you'll definitely get sick."
Ichinose finally discovered a part of Amane's true personality.
She had originally thought that Amane's desire, more explicit than a boy's, was merely Amane's disguise, intended to quickly bond with girls.
After all, privately, girls would more or less make some naughty jokes, and the one who played the most openly would naturally be very popular among all girls, able to quickly get acquainted with other girls.
When making such jokes, those who were more shy and deliberately avoided them were more likely to become prey.
So, even if some were unwilling, they wouldn't get angry after being taken advantage of by Amane, who was also a girl. Because once they got angry, others would consider them unsociable and unable to take a joke, with a high possibility of being ostracized by other girls. To avoid being ostracized, they could only comply with the atmosphere, maintaining a smile while enduring various overt and covert physical touches from a veteran like Amane, yet unable to resist.
Amane used this method to navigate various girl circles, freely taking advantage of them but only being seen as free-spirited and unconventional. No one would ever think that Amane actually liked girls.
If Amane were a boy, she might have turned all these small girl circles into her private playground.
Fortunately, she was a girl and couldn't commit such outrageous acts. But precisely because she was a girl, as long as she was thick-skinned, even if she did something, the other party couldn't say anything and could only accept it.
"If you get sick, you'll need someone to take care of you, changing clothes, feeding you, helping you bathe, and so on... Hehehe."
Amane's voice became joyful.
Ichinose sighed helplessly.
Could Horikita-san really handle an Amane like this?
Perhaps after truly getting together with Amane, all her energy would be spent on dealing with the girls around Amane?
Horikita-san truly had it tough.
While lamenting Horikita's difficulties, Ichinose also enjoyed Amane's warm embrace. The soft, fluffy sensation made Ichinose, who was already a bit sleepy, gradually lose consciousness. Finally, at some point, Ichinose quietly drifted off to sleep.
Drip, drop, drip, drop.
After about two hours, the torrential rain finally stopped.
Fortunately, Class B's campsite was chosen for its high elevation, allowing rainwater to quickly drain out of the camp.
Otherwise, relying solely on tents without mats to withstand the torrential rain and cold would be like a fool's dream. If the tents had been pitched on flat ground, they would probably have already been flooded by now.
Not just the tents, but the entire campsite would likely have turned into a vast expanse of water.
And materials like wet firewood and branches would probably all be damp, making it difficult to start a fire without drying them. Without the warmth of a fire, it would be hard for those lying in damp tents not to get sick.
Looking at the unscathed Class B, even Amane had to commend Ichinose for her very appropriate campsite arrangements.
Amane glanced at the time on her watch.
"Time's up. The long wait is finally over."
No sooner had Amane spoken than a sneaky figure moved cautiously within the camp.
Soon, he walked towards Amane.
When the other person saw that Amane was still there, and even held Ichinose in her arms, he directly exclaimed in surprise.
"Why are you still here?"
"Shh—"
Amane put her finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture.
Kanzaki, seeing Amane's gesture, immediately looked disgusted, as if he had eaten a fly.
He glanced at the sleeping Ichinose and had no choice but to patiently lower his voice.
"Why are you here, and what's going on with Ichinose? Are you planning to hold Ichinose hostage to threaten Class B? I'm telling you, that's absolutely impossible."
Kanzaki's righteous words directly made Amane laugh in anger.
"Why would I use Ichinose to threaten you? Are you even worthy of me using such methods?"
Facing Amane's taunt, Kanzaki surprisingly calmed down.
After staring at Ichinose for a long time, he pulled out a key card from his pocket.
"I know, you came for this, right? The key card is in my hand now, do you want to see it?"
