Her words finally made everyone realize that even if they came back alive, they would definitely not be able to replenish their food in the wild.
While they were busy, Natsume Rin and Yukino were sitting in the room rented by their senior, wrapped in blankets. The teacher beside them was asking them about their well-being. When he felt that everything was about right, his face changed and he started to teach these two daring guys a lesson.
"If something unexpected happens, how can I explain to your mother and sister?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka put her hands on her hips and turned against them before the two of them could escape.
Compared with the ordinary teacher-student relationship, she still has a good friendship with their families. If anything unexpected happened to them, she would be too ashamed to see Yang Noi.
Thinking back on it now, she still feels scared.
"Teacher, it's okay." Natsume Rin tried to fool the other party with a grin, but the other party didn't buy it at all.
"There were clearly warning signs there, how could you have thought of going in? And you even went to the back hill on a snowy day."
"My problem." Yukino took the initiative to admit before Natsume Rin opened her mouth to take the blame: "Because I felt that the normal snow trail was really boring, I went in after I found the loophole."
"Well, it has something to do with me. I strongly suggested going there this afternoon."
It was foolish to think about sharing the blame when they were in danger, but now that they were safe they were honestly dividing the responsibility.
"I bear the greatest responsibility. If I hadn't entered the unopened ski slope, there wouldn't have been any trouble later."
"Minister, you came back safe and sound after you went in. It was me who suggested the unexpected situation, so I am more responsible than you."
"But you saved me!"
"You pulled me back from there, too."
……
Watching them quarreling with each other, but between the lines they were all making excuses for each other, Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled her hair in anger: "Stop acting, you two!"
"Hehe, Mr. Hiratsuka." Seeing that her plan was exposed, Natsume Rin looked at her innocently: "Don't tell this to anyone, okay? If the minister's family knew about it, they would definitely punish her."
"You can run away?" Yukino sneered, trying to drag him down with her.
"I can just not go back for the near future. Be careful that Auntie will stop giving you pocket money again."
Natsume Rin exposed her without even looking up.
Anyway, he has been independent for a long time. Even if he did something stupid like this, the biggest trouble he would have would be just hearing a few naggings.
"Ah, ah, do you think that if your mother knew about this, she would take the initiative to find your house? Do you think you can escape by not going?"
Yukino didn't care. Ever since her original pocket money limit was restored, she had been consciously saving money. Even if it was stopped again, it would last her for quite some time.
They were tearing each other down, but at the same time their eyes were on poor Hiratsuka-sensei.
"Mr. Hiratsuka, you don't want the school to find out that you almost had an accident while leading the team on a trip, do you?"
"On the contrary." Hiratsuka Shizuka rubbed her forehead coldly, "If this incident can make the principal give up letting me take you little bastards around, I will be very happy."
Don't think that just because she is a young teacher she can have common topics with this group of students, especially with people like Natsume Rin.
She has never been in a relationship, and it is obvious that this guy had ambiguous relationships with several female classmates in high school. Who knows how many more vicious things he will do in college. It would be a miracle if someone like this had common topics.
"Oops!"
"It seems like the teacher doesn't buy it." Yukinoshita Yukino also sighed.
While they were still trying to pry the teacher's mouth open, other people came in carrying food. Seeing the steaming breakfast, the two men, who had been hungry for almost a day, no longer cared about being reserved and started eating in the hall.
While listening to the resort manager describing to them how, at Miss Shiina's strong request, they dispatched a professional rescue team to carry out the rescue, Natsume Rin looked at the quiet Shiina Mahiru a few more times.
"It's a pity that we didn't find the two classmates in the forest, and we don't know how you spent last night." The manager's tone was full of regret. If he helped Miss Shiina rescue the boy she cared about, maybe they could get in touch with him.
And when they failed to rescue them, the most they could do was to fulfill their obligations.
"We found a cave in the forest with enough wood inside. We made a fire and survived the cold night safely. So, Mr. Hiratsuka, we are not in any danger at all."
Natsume Rin is still thinking about Shizuka Hiratsuka who might tell tales.
"How lucky we were to find the cave under those circumstances."
"It's not just simple luck. Natsume-san was able to start a fire with just branches. His wilderness survival skills must be very impressive. He is indeed Ms. Shiina's friend."
Tsk, even if you’re praising him, do you have to bring up Shiina Mahiru?
I don’t know what her family background is like. Just being a member of parliament wouldn’t be like this.
Feeling annoyed, Shiina Mahiru gently asked the irrelevant people to leave. After the manager left with a nod, the atmosphere in the room became more lively.
"I would be sad if you didn't even think of calling me, your senior, when you were in the most dangerous moment." Kasumigaoka Utaha said resentfully, supporting her chin and watching him wolfing down the food.
Although she felt relieved when she saw him return safely, she was furious when she thought that she still had to rely on guesswork to understand the situation.
She really couldn't do better than her junior, but it felt like she was just being self-indulgent.
"Senior." Natsume Rin was embarrassed, but she still explained: "My phone had only a little battery left at the time, so I chose to send the message to Shiina-san just to be on the safe side."
"I'm going back to change my clothes."
He was still struggling with the girls' problem. After filling her stomach, Yukino left calmly. After all, it was very uncomfortable to wear wet clothes on her body, and not many people cared about her.
Natsume Rin's eyes lit up, and he also used this excuse to sneak away, but he had not forgotten to thank Shiina-san for his kindness, and only after solemnly expressing his gratitude did he run towards the dormitory.
As for Mr. Hiratsuka who might tell on me, I couldn't care less about him at this moment.
Chapter 193 I have no common topics with the teacher
"You've been out all day!"
As soon as Natsume Rin went out, he was stopped by two good brothers squatting in front of the door. Seeing that they were rubbing their hands to keep warm and had not left yet, his mood inevitably became much better.
Although it's a bit funny, they are indeed good brothers!
"Yes, we found a bear cave, and with the help of my force, we made it give up its home, and we slept warmly all night." Natsume Rin made up the story without changing his expression.
In fact, he did suspect that the cave last night belonged to some kind of wild animal, but he never found any hair, so he had to correct this idea.
"Nonsense, how can a human beat a bear?" The squad leader held his glasses, obviously not believing it.
"So Natsume, you slept with Yukinoshita-san for the whole night?" Totsuka was concerned about something different from ordinary people.
Seeing their strange expressions, Natsume Rin raised his hands in surrender. How could the young people nowadays accurately capture the key words in such words?
"It's just that we're in the same cave, and the distance... well, it's quite close indeed." He still honestly admitted that the space in the cave was not very large, and they had to rest by the fire, so the distance between them was at most as wide as two aisles.
"Go away."
"so envious."
The three brothers walked back to the dormitory arm in arm. Natsume Rin's absence last night had already caused many people to be suspicious, and many people immediately surrounded him when they saw him.
"I went to live with my senior sister." He said with a smile.
He preferred to see the envious looks of his classmates rather than being stuck in a hole all night because of stupidity in going skiing.
Eh? Is this considered a boy's self-esteem?
"Senior sister!" someone raised his voice.
"Third-year senior Kasumigaoka rented a big house and warmly invited me over. I couldn't refuse."
Natsume Rin lay on the bed and turned over comfortably. The classmates looked at each other and expressed the same idea at the same time.
'Kill him.'
The two people who knew the inside story didn't even feel envious. When the others rushed forward to hold down Natsume Rin, they sat aside and watched the fun.
……
The winter trip ended like this. Because of the accident that happened to Natsume Rin and the others, teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka's management became obviously stricter. She repeatedly reminded them to pay attention to safety while playing. Especially Natsume Rin and Yukino, they were strictly guarded by Shizuka Hiratsuka, so they basically had no chance of skiing.
"Teacher, don't you have a cold?"
Natsume Rin, who was put in solitary confinement in the teacher's room, had not given up yet. "We definitely won't go skiing, but there's no need to delay your recovery."
"Hmph." Hiratsuka Shizuka put down her phone and waited for Yukino to come over. She glared at Natsume Rin with a rather ferocious look: "Because of you two, my cold is almost cured now."
"Looks like I did some good things."
Hiratsuka Shizuka started to get ready, but Natsume Rin knew what to do and stopped doing that. She just sat down by the kotatsu and started peeling an orange.
"Does the teacher live alone in the teacher's dormitory?"
"There are teachers for each grade, and they live together. I live alone. It's because it happens every time that I have such a big grudge against the principal."
There are other teachers.
Because she was the only one seen at every event, Natsume Rin mistakenly believed that Hiratsuka teacher was powerful enough to lead three grades alone. She heard the door being pushed open, and another protagonist from yesterday also appeared here after changing clothes.
She must have been freezing badly. Yukino, who was afraid of the cold, put on thick clothes when she went out and tied a furry scarf around her neck. She really looked like a cute cat.
It was very hot in the teachers' dormitory, and sweat broke out on her forehead as soon as she came in.
"Yukinoshita-san, please sit down." Shizuka Hiratsuka greeted her warmly. After getting closer to the warm kotatsu, she finally took off her heavy coat, leaving only a beige sweater.
"Teacher, why did you call us here?"
Natsume Rin waved at her but was ignored. She lamented how fickle girls are, but she still explained on behalf of Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"You're worried that we might do something stupid again, so you've locked us up here for the last few hours. Teacher, this is illegal detention."
Ignoring the brat's taunting, Shizuka Hiratsuka gave her half of the peeled orange. When Yukino thanked her and sat down, she squinted her eyes comfortably.
"As long as you stay here until the bus arrives, I promise not to tell your sister about this."
Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the white veins on the orange with her slender fingers and nodded indifferently in agreement.
"Even if Mr. Hiratsuka didn't say anything, I didn't plan to go out this afternoon. It's warmer here than in the dormitory, so it's just right for me to rest."
The experience of almost dying in the snow yesterday left a deep impression on her. If it weren't for Natsume Rin's magical powers, she would probably have stayed in the back mountain.
However, when she thought of the frivolous scene when this guy confessed in the cave, her emotion was replaced by a little anger, and she even wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Well, but I still want to go out and have a look. I haven't even finished touring the resort yet." The boy had different ideas.
He had heard from his squad leader and others about many interesting places and had originally planned to experience them today.
"I suggest you not to have too many thoughts and just sit here quietly." Shizuka Hiratsuka held him down, looked at the time, and stood up from the kotatsu on her own initiative.
The third invited guest came in and looked at the two people in the room. Shiina Mahiru was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, she looked at the teacher strangely.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, are Koyuki and the others here to help you ease your mood as well?"
