My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

What was the scene like back then?

Ok……

I don't remember very clearly.

"Izumi, from now on, please take good care of your immature wife, Shiraishi Chirei."

At one point, Shiraishi Chiren, who was sleeping peacefully, whispered in her sleep.

Then, she heard a firm and warm response:

"From now on... it'll be Kurose Chirei."

179. Juicer by Shiraishi Chiren

It was nearly 9 p.m. when we returned to the mountain resort hotel.

When Kurose Izumi was halfway there, Shiraishi Chiren woke up from her blissful dream and got off him.

Did I say anything strange?

At that time, Shiraishi Chiren asked this question.

"Hmm? I don't remember exactly, I don't think so," Kurose Izumi replied with a smile.

"...Judging from your expression, you must have said something, right?"

"Who knows..."

Upon entering the hotel, the two went to the restaurant, which was thankfully still open.

However, there weren't many dishes left, only simple noodles.

But that's enough.

They were already starving.

After all, it took a long time to walk there.

It's unlikely that I'll ever do something so foolish again in my lifetime.

……

The third day of the school trip.

On this day, both Kurose Izumi and Shiraishi Chiren were sleeping soundly in bed.

There was no way around it; I was already exhausted from walking last night, and I went to bed too late.

The reason for staying up late, of course, is that persistent pest, Shiraishi Chire.

However, they didn't do anything; they just lay together and talked all night.

Conversations like this happen frequently.

The content is whimsical, sometimes reminiscing about the past, and the next second looking towards the future.

Kurose Izumi quite liked this, lying together, chatting about trivial things, and then flipping through the camera, recalling the scenes and feelings in the photos.

Before this, they had taken photos in many places and arranged many events.

Things like aquariums, parks, zoos, or hiking.

What's memorable is Mount Takao in Hachioji City—I went there two weeks ago.

Mount Takao is a great place to visit in autumn, when the mountain is covered in beautiful maple leaves.

Naturally, they took many photos and visited all the facilities on the mountainside.

I remember there was a place called "Wish Leaf Wheel Diving," where if you walked through it, your wish would be fulfilled.

There is also a shrine called "Airandang" that can make marriage and finding a partner go smoothly.

Superstitious Izumi Kurose naturally made some prayers.

He sincerely hopes that he and Shiraishi Chiren can continue to walk hand in hand.

After that, she can also laugh and reminisce about the past with her children.

That way, you'll definitely be very, very happy.

On the morning of the fourth day of the school trip, after breakfast, this year's school trip came to an end.

Everyone packed their luggage and boarded the bus to Kyoto Station one by one, each with their own thoughts and feelings.

They may be happy, depressed, or indifferent.

In short, this study trip had its ups and downs.

However, none of that has anything to do with Izumi Kurose.

Because—he's a happy, fulfilled person.

"I have exams coming up when I get back, and I haven't been studying properly lately, sigh..."

During the bus ride, Izumi Kurose let out a long sigh, looking somewhat melancholy.

I thought that after completing the animation research department's project to create a visual novel, I would have nothing to do.

Can……

He forgot about Shiraishi Chiren, that persistent pest!

Shiraishi Chiren gave him absolutely no chance to study. Every night when they got home, apart from the necessary homework, they would spend all their time cuddling together.

We either play games together or watch movies.

However, the most frequent topic of discussion is the origin of life.

This is a very profound question.

Even someone as intelligent as Shiraishi Chire, who studied with Kurose Izumi day and night, could not come to a conclusion.

Of course, if a result is actually obtained, Izumi Kurose will be very troubled.

"Stop studying, I'll take care of you from now on." Shiraishi Chiren covered her mouth and chuckled. "I'm interested in raising Izumi, and I'll even write a pet diary."

Kurose Izumi pursed her thin lips and snorted, "...I don't want to!"

He's already been controlled by Shiraishi Chiren, so if he continues to live off her, wouldn't he really become henpecked?

...Although it is already like that now.

But doesn't Kurose Izumi have any pride?

"The spring is raising me, so please keep a good record of my growth."

Shiraishi Chiren smiled ambiguously, her words making Kurose Izumi's mind wander and her heart flutter.

So-called growth...

Kurose Izumi didn't dare ask what that meant, but it was probably not some kind of proper growth.

When the bus arrived at Kyoto Station, there was still half an hour before the Shinkansen back to Tokyo was scheduled to arrive.

Kurose Izumi, holding Shiraishi Chiren's hand, walked along the bustling shopping street, looking around and saying:

"Qianlian, is there anything you'd like to buy?"

"It doesn't seem so."

"Always like this, without desires or wants."

"I have the spring, that's enough. I don't need anything else."

Even so, they still bought one thing to take home in the end.

It was a life-size panda plush toy, and it looked quite cute.

Since we're already here, we should at least bring something back with us, right?

—That's what Izumi Kurose thinks.

However, that panda plush toy was quite expensive, costing 18500 yen including tax.

Twenty minutes later, Komi Megumi gave the order to assemble.

Afterwards, everyone entered the station in an orderly manner and boarded the Shinkansen.

I hope the next school trip will be just as enjoyable.

Kurose Izumi turned her head to look at the scenery rushing past the window, a slight smile curving her lips.

The second-year school trip has come to an end.

Next year will be the last time.

-

After the school trip, there is a two-day weekend to rest and relieve excitement and fatigue.

Kurose Izumi wasn't quite sure why, even though she had only gone on a three-day trip, she still had two days of vacation time.

That's absolutely absurd!

He suffered a lot because of his two-day holiday!

To be more specific...

They were completely drained.

I was thoroughly drained.

Not a single drop was left.

"If I ever have the chance, I'll definitely protest this unreasonable holiday scheduling; it's utterly lazy!"

At one moment, Kurose Izumi, with one hand on her waist and the other against the wall, thought viciously.

Before he could complain, a pair of small hands and a soft, warm body wrapped around him from behind.
