(The fifth watch~ Wait for the sixth shift~ Oh, if you think about it, wouldn't I just get more than 10,000 words a day?) How do you feel about such a diligent me? What's the last day's welfare? And I sent a chapter, I feel that I am too conscientious. Where can you find such a conscientious author, right? ）

At the end of the tour and back to the starting point, there were still two or three of the remaining groups left.

With Komachi and Sahi named, a new group set off.

Confirming this, Hayama and they also acted.

"Then, Hitori Gu-kun. We'll go first, and I'll leave it to you later. ”

"Understood."

After a very brief business contact, I watched the three of them leave, waiting for the departure of their group.

Bonfires crackled and soot flew in the wind.

In the distance, the joys and sorrows of elementary school students from the forest were endless.

While I waited, I watched Rumi's appearance.

Everyone around was talking, but Rumi was silent. Because there are teachers nearby, although it is not obvious that he is excluded from the crowd, but because even so, he is still separated by others, and Rumi is in a state of isolation from the people around him. Liumei probably also knows this, and he also keeps a distance of one step.

Without the courage to break the barrier, dare not break the atmosphere of cold violence, ordinary talents are useless at this time. It's like a trembling sparrow in a shack. Seeing such a worried posture, my heart was also covered with a little haze.

Komachi took out his phone from his pocket and checked the time.

“…… Good! Next up is this group! ”

One of the remaining two groups was in a commotion. The last group sighed because of regret or peace of mind.

Urged by Komachi and Shahi, the penultimate group also set off.

After seeing them set off, Hayama and I also quietly set off from that place.

The destination is a fork in the mountain road. There, the road cone blocked the way in one of the directions.

Using the same techniques as during the inspection, I walked through the trees without meeting with elementary school students. The leaves wet with the night dew were cold and cold, and as time passed, the outside temperature slowly dropped.

Quickly passed through the place where Yuhihama was, and although the position in charge under the snow wanted to cheer her up, it didn't stop passing.

Finally, we reached the point near the ancestral hall, where the route around the forest and the route up the mountain diverged.

Because of the brisk running, my breathing became a little short. I took a breath and hid with Hayama and the others in the dark shadows under the tree beside me. It's not to scare anyone, it's just to lurk.

The penultimate group of blocs passed. The commotion faded away. Confirming this, Hayama moved the road cone to its position. The road to the ancestral hall was blocked, and the line that could not lead to the end was opened.

"I'll leave it all to you next, Biqigu-san."

"Come on! It must be completed satisfactorily! ”

"Isn't it a waste for such a beautiful little girl to be alone? I must bring it back. ”

"Ah, no problem."

Seeing that the three men were ready, I walked to the end of the path and sat down in the wilderness.

While calculating the time minute by minute, he waited for the arrival of the group in the United States. It was almost their turn to go. As the night deepened, so did the darkness of the forest. Quietly close your eyes in the darkness to make the sound clearer in your ears. The "cooing" of owls and the rustle of branches can be heard.

Elementary school students, junior high school students, and high school students are actually very repulsive to external forces for some reason. They seem to think that it is a shame to use external forces, to help themselves with other people's strength, but in fact this is a wrong idea.

From birth, we have been helped by others. Whether it is our parents or relatives, we have always grown up with the help of others before we are unable to work. Friendships, friends, hobbies, family, relatives, everything is intertwined into this world. It's only because of the awakening of self-consciousness that there is such a rejection of the help of others. Allow yourself to form a small circle with other people. Use your own strength to confront or absorb others.

If you really feel uncomfortable and can't accept it, go and ask for help. Everyone has a day when they can't bear the pressure, and everyone has a day when they can't face it. Silently burying it in your heart for fermentation is not a good choice. Since you can use the strength of others to help you tide over difficulties, why not use it?

If you feel a little embarrassed, then you can keep it in your heart and give it back to others. If you feel uncomfortable, then keep this discomfort in mind and use it as motivation to move forward in the future. The most important thing is still self-awakening.

But before that, you also have to have the courage to ask for help.

"Huh? Who is looking for us? ”

"You'll know when the time comes, right? We're going to keep it a secret. ”

"Hee-hee, it sounds mysterious~"

The voices of elementary school students and Hayama gradually sounded from afar. Looking at the large number of figures in the forest, I sighed slightly. I took out the cigarette from my pocket and kept it well, lit it, and put it in my mouth. When you close your eyes, the taste of nicotine begins to linger in your lungs, allowing the slightly familiar sensation to return to your body.

It's really a big group of people who came.,Hayama,Blonde,Silver,Brown,Under the snow,Yubihama.,Komachi.,Sahi.,Elementary school students four people.,It seems that Mr. Hiratsuka also came to join in the fun.,And then it's the protagonist Tsurumi Rumi.。

I'm the only one on my side, and there are fourteen people who come.

…… It's a little lonely, really.

"Eh......"

As if I had reached my position, I exhaled a deep puff of smoke and opened my eyes.

And just rightly, at this moment, a cold wind blew in the forest, making the cigarettes burn brighter in the night. The bright moonlight on my face, combined with the swaying woods around me, seemed to have an unexpected effect. It's not just the elementary school students who show a sad face, but even everyone else has a solemn expression.

“…… Yo, you're finally here? I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I stood up, calmly threw my cigarette on the ground and stomped on it. A gloomy smile appeared at the fourteen people who came.
