Chapter 13

     [ Miyuki's POV ]
     I'm so excited for our first activity because I used to watch survival series and I can finally use the skills I learned from it.
     I started by making a spear out of a wood and when I was finished I tied it from my hand, I walked away from my group to find a good spot while carrying my spear and a bucket.
After finding a promising spot for fishing, I patiently waited for the fish to swim by so I could spear them. The first attempt was a total miss, but when the second fish came into view, I swiftly and forcefully threw the spear, successfully catching it. The sense of accomplishment and joy filled me, spurring me on to continue fishing.
     I got 4 fish but the two was kinda small, I put them on the bucket and I walk to the rocks in the middle of the river to look if there's any freshwater crabs. I search under the rocks and at the edges of the river and after a long time i finally found them and there's also a shrimps too.
     I managed to catch many shrimps and crabs but the I returned the small ones, I felt very happy because I was the first one discovered this spot and the series I watched before I managed to apply it in real life.
     I've spend 20 minutes here and the area was a little bit far so I gathered my stuff and went back to my group. I was so happy at my bucket because there's a shrimps and crabs too. I saw Luna and the others, they were still catching some fish and when they saw me their face was kinda worried.
     " Guys look" at my bucket, I said happily.
     " Where have you gone Tachibana? We were worried about you, Higashi said she doesn't know where you are, we were about to go back at the cabin and report it to the teachers" Akiyama was mad at me. 
     " Sorry" I got sad because i made him mad and worried the others.
     " I'm happy that you're safe Miyuki" Luna hugged me.
     " Let me look at your bucket" Akiyama said and I smiled under my mask and showed them.
     " Look look, I catched some shrimps too" I wasn't upset anymore and I continued showing them my bucket. 
      " Shrimps and crabs too?" Saki said and her face was delighted. I nodded at them.
       " We somehow got 3 fish" Miwa said he was unhappy because the other groups gets the fishes first. I cheered him up and said at least we got shrimps and crabs and he was happy. I told them there's a good spot down the river. 
      I lead them to the spot, they were amazed because there's lot of fish swimming and some crabs crawling at the rocks in the water. I took a rest and they continued fishing, we took 2 hours fishing and divided them at the separate bucket with water so we have fishes, crabs and shrimp for lunch.
     I grabbed my hand knife that I secretly hid at my bag when we were traveling and cleaned the fish that were going to cook later, they were surprised and complimented my skills at cleaning the fish. I got used to it because I cook the food sometimes at home.
       " Let's get cooking!" Miwa cheered the group, and the 3 girls said roger and followed him. We're heading back to the campsite.
      " Wait, we should get some woods to cook it" Scarlet said. 
      " Oh right woods" Luna replied.
      " and also sticks to cook the fishes and the shellfish" Saki said, her voice was soft and cute. I envy her for that, I envy all of them actually including Luna. I'm always insecure of the girls that's almost perfect in my eyes. I shrugged my thoughts off because it was not the time for being depressed and we began gathering some materials to use for cooking.
     [ Kei's POV ]
      I'm happy to see my group helping each other and not competing who's the smartest. They were giving each other their thoughts and cooperative.
      Tachibana looks very happy and enjoying today's activity, she knew what to do in terms of survival. I smiled looking them and helped them looking for a wood that we're gonna use to start a fire.
     Once we're done, l took out the matchbox that the teachers gave to the group leaders before the activity starts. I cutted the woods with an axe we borrowed at the campsite and the teachers were happy to see our buckets with fish and shellfish, and they said we could use plates and prepared us rice so we can still eat properly.
     We didn't use any salt so we could vibe with our survival activity today and that was actually quite nice. We were holding the stick while the fish is cooking and so as the shellfish.
     " The firewood is not enough" Higashi and Miwa said together.
     " I'll go fetch some" Saki said and I assisted her while the others cook.
     Me and Saki looked for some dried woods so we could finish cooking. We were having trouble looking for some dried wood because the other groups got them, there are other woods here but it's wet a little.
      So we continued searching until I heard Saki's voice because she hit a rock while walking and almost fall on the ground so I immediately ran over to her and to prevent her for falling. She fell to my chest and I was holding her shoulders.
     [ Erich's POV ] 
     We were walking around the to search some woods and I almost tripped over because of the rock I step on, I closed my eyes to prepare to hit the ground and when I woke up, I was at the Akiyama's chest.
     " Are you okay?" He looked at me and he was still holding my shoulders while I'm at his chest. I stood up immediately.
     " Y-Yes Thank Y-You!" I bowed at him and I was blushing hard.
     " Be careful Saki, there's a lot of rocks and vines to tripped over, your safety is my priority, all of your safety is my priority as a leader. Okay?" He said with a worried look. He was really protecting his members, that's why he scolded Tachibana earlier at the river.
     " Y-yes, sorry" I looked at the ground and we continued to search for woods again. There was a heavy pounding at my chest and whenever I think about what happened earlier, I couldn't help myself to blush. His chest was masculine, so as his body. 
     " There" he pointed at the woods not so far away from us and we gathered some.
     I was having a rough time carrying the woods back to the campsite, until Akiyama saw me struggling and he took some of the woods I was carrying and left only 3 on my hands. He was really kind and a good leader too.
     We arrived at the campsite and put the woods at the fire. The fish were smelling good and the the shellfish too, and when it was finished Scarlet and Miwa brought some rice, plates and chopsticks for us. 
     I glanced at Akiyama and whenever I look at him, my chest is pounding faster and there's a weird sensation at my tummy. Maybe this is the " butterfly in stomach" they call.
