School Trip 11

"No, that is not your fault, no one expected there to be such an incident happening there," Yuuki answered.

"If I'm not asking to join them, then both you and Mayu-chan won't get into those bombing incidents," Chiaki said.

"Still, both of us are fine, we're not hurt, that's all that matters," Yuuki answered.

"But..." Chiaki still thought that it was because of her.

"Chiaki, I have never thought that it was because of you, do you think that we're a God that we can predict what will happen in the future?" Yuuki said and added, "I'm not blaming you for what is happening."

"But if I'm not forgetting that we shouldn't get close to that kid, we wouldn't have been involved in that incident," Chiaki said.

"That kid?" Yuuki titled his head.

"You know, that kid with a suit, glasses, and a red bow tie," Chiaki said and continued, "I have only remembered it last night when we were in the department store during the fake bomb incident, you have reminded us about that little kid, I have thought that you're joking but...."

'Ah, Conan....' Yuuki also couldn't blame her for thinking that it was a joke. He also told them because they were joking too but it wasn't funny anymore when their acquaintances were almost killed by this bombing incident. He also knew that this girl blamed herself for what happened to both him and Mayuki. He looked at her and said, "Do you know why I agree with you to enter that television studio even though I know something will happen in the end?"

Chiaki blinked her eyes and looked at him with a confused expression. She was also confused about why he agreed to watch the show even though he knew something would happen in the end.

"First, that I don't want to make you disappointed, I want to make you happy seeing you smiling happily is the worth it for me to receive one or two bombs," Yuuki answered with a smile.

Chiaki snorted when she heard his answer, "You're exaggerating."

"I'm not exaggerating, I'm serious," Yuuki said.

"...."

"Also, this is an incident, you can't blame yourself, if you blame yourself then I should blame myself who agree with you to come to the television studio, do you think this is my fault to let you go to that place?" Yuuki asked.

"No, that's not your fault," Chiaki shook her head.

"Then you shouldn't blame yourself, we're human, we made a lot of mistakes but we're getting better each day," Yuuki said.

"You sure are smart," Chiaki said and asked, "Why are you so skilled?"

"Because I want to make you happy," Yuuki said and pinched her nose, "Don't show that expression again, this is our field trip, you should enjoy it more."

Chiaki swapped his hand and smiled, "Then, make me happy."

"I will do that," Yuuki smiled and held her hand softly.

Her cheeks were reddened by his actions. She thought for a bit and asked, "What is the other reason?"

"The last is because I believe that I can protect you all," Yuuki answered and said, "Let's go join them, it will be bad for us to be separated for so long, I'm sure that they will think that we're doing something shameful in the dark."

Chiaki snorted, "Doing something shameful? I'm not that easy a girl."

"I know," Yuuki only said, but he could feel that she held his hand tighter.

"I'm only doing this with you," Chiaki said.

'Alright,' Yuuki couldn't help but wanted to kiss her right away but he held himself.

"Yuuki! Chiaki! Where have you gone?"

"She is lost, I'm searching for her around this place," Yuuki answered.

"Really?"

"Yes, that's true," Chiaki nodded. Her acting skill was top-notch and it was very easy to make everyone believe her.

"Alright, let me guide you again, this time let's eat some good green tea ice cream," Kunou said.

"Yeah!!!"

---

They continued their trip and ate the most popular green tea ice cream in this town.

Yuuki also asked Kunou to guide them to the location where they could buy souvenirs. He bought a lot of things such as a rare book for Kuina, snacks, wooden sword and etc. He bought something interesting since he felt that money should be used. He could make business again in the future and he didn't lack money.

They spent the days in Kyoto to tour around a lot of historical places and did their school work there. They needed to observe those historical places and made it into a report after they went back from their school trip.

"Are you ready?" Yuuki asked both Yukana and Ranko.

"Yes," Yukana and Ranko nodded with an excited expression and were slightly nervous. They had heard that he would bring them to the special festival for Youkai.

This made them very interested but also nervous at the same time.

"Is it a real youkai?" Yukana asked.

"How is youkai's appearance?" Ranko asked.

"You have seen one before," Yuuki said.

"Really?" They were confused.

"Kunou is a youkai," Yuuki said.

"..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, she is the daughter of the Youkai faction in this western area. She is a princess in the youkai world," Yuuki said.

"....."

They were speechless when they heard it.

"Don't be that nervous. She is very kind and she is very happy that you treat her normally," Yuuki said and added, "That girl might also become my step-daughter."

'Daughter...' They were speechless again, 'Princess? Then her mother should be queen....'

"Use this mask and we will teleport to meet both Kunou and Yasaka," Yuuki said.

They received the mask and wore it right away.

It was a normal fox mask that was usually sold at the festival but he had imbued it with magic that would camouflage them to give them a similar smell to a youkai.

"Alright, let's go, I'm sure that they have been waiting for us," Yuuki said.

They nodded and held hands together.

Yuuki nodded and teleported to meet both Yasaka and Kunou in the youkai festival.
