Men's things are not called brave, they are called dignity

　　The afternoon schedule was to confirm matters regarding the bonfire party and prepare for the mixed group competition the next morning.

　　With Miku's efforts, the steps for fire prevention and disaster prevention are almost foolproof. She had prepared nine types of emergency response plans.

　　Originally, there were ten of them, but there was no way to show the school things like 'How to escape when a meteorite falls', so Shinichi decided to delete them.

　　In addition, because there had been a major incident in the past where a man and a woman were locked in a warehouse to store wood, and the woman was rescued several months later, she was absent from school and waiting to be rescued, Shinichi specifically asked the management staff to set up a monitor. inside, and set up the radio, mounted an emergency call on the wall, and connected the place to a WIFI signal.

　　He had done everything that needed to be done, as long as the trapped people weren't too stupid, they would definitely be rescued within ten minutes. He couldn't believe there were still people who would dare to come up with preposterous excuses like 'Because the warehouse was too cold, they accidentally rubbed together to generate heat'.

　　If history were to repeat itself, it could be immediately defined as acting on purpose.

　　After the incident, she suspended school and got married without incident, but the organizers who carried out the activity were scolded by the school, and the performance of his behavior was not satisfactory. It was because they weren't wise enough and didn't gather evidence to blame him, that he fell into this fate.

　　Shinichi will not repeat the same mistake.

　　Safety is always the most important thing when going out, not just the bonfire party, but the entire forest school activity, they spend a lot of time ensuring safety time and time again, and they will never let a participant go home standing or lying down (or with a big belly).

　　As for the mixed group matches there really isn't much to check. After all, the activities were centered on group health games, the game's most important item was 'people', and accidents weren't easy to happen.

　　A pre-registration system was adopted, with groups of five to three people, and points based competition was adopted. The winning team can finally get a canteen meal coupon of 10,000 yen per person.

　　After all the preparations were done properly, before they knew it, it was already getting dark.

　　The six people dragged their tired bodies and walked back from the top of the mountain along the mountain road. After finishing the lunch box for dinner, they walked back to the log house.

　　"I'm so tired~"

　　"I'm tired..."

　　"My leg will break..."

　　"My vitality has fallen to rock bottom..."

　　"After all, after walking all day, it's normal to be tired…"

　　Standing in front, Shinichi looked back at them who were exhausted.

　　"If you are tired, take a shower and rest. Don't worry, tomorrow will be much easier than today."

Yotsuba said in surprise.

　　"We're all very tired, isn't Asada-san tired?"

　　After all, even she felt that her legs hurt so badly that she couldn't even walk.

　　Not only her, but the other girls looked at Shinichi with expressions of disbelief.

　　"...You don't think of me as a weak chicken that doesn't work hard?"

　　Shinichi walked towards the wooden house No.1.

　　"It's just a little outing, it's fine with me...You guys have a good rest, good night."

　　He left his words, so that the girls behind him looked at each other.

　　"Is what he said true…"

　　"No, I know he has to pretend to be brave."

　　"Agree…..."

　　The girls looked at each other and laughed heartily, the tiredness dissipated a bit, supported each other, and walked into the log house.

　　Shinichi closed the door.

　　He took off his waist bag and placed it on top of the pile of luggage along with the file folder.

　　When confirming that no one was around, he headed to the bottom layer of the bunk bed.

　　After a few steps, his legs gave way, and he fell on the bed.

　　Shinichi pulled the pillow, burying his face in it.

　　"Haaaa~ tired~ Haaaa~ so tired."

　　After today, even the energetic Yotsuba felt tired. How could he not be utterly exhausted for a quiet boy who hadn't exercised in a month?

　　His legs had long since lost feeling. If it wasn't for his pride of not wanting to embarrass himself in front of girls and his amazing acting skills, he might be even worse off than Miku now, let alone walking back to his wooden house.

　　After all, as the head of the committee and the only man in the meeting, what he had to do, the distances he had to cover, and the physical strength he had to exert far outweighed the brands. They could take breaks whenever they encountered activities they weren't responsible for, while he had to participate and supervise the entire process, and he never let his feet rest for a single moment except for eating. His physical and mental strength had fallen to rock bottom, and he wished he could go to bed until dawn.

　　Throws away the pillow, turns over and looks up.

　　"Basically, there's no problem… However, you can't be careless."

　　Shinichi supported the bed board, pushed aside the temptation of the soft bed, and stood up unsteadily.

　　Taking a step forward, he still faltered slightly, but he quickly "acted as usual" and adjusted his posture back to normal.

　　"After taking a shower, let's deal with business outside..."

　　Otherwise, if he stayed in a warm room, he would definitely fall asleep.

　　Hoping that waiting for a bath would lighten his load a bit, he took a change of clothes from the trunk and headed to the large bath at the back of the cabin.

　　Tragically, he couldn't fully enjoy the bath after a while, and the bathing facilities were also one of the things he had to check out.
