Rukia then looked towards the distant forest with a puzzled gaze.
Strange Reiatsu....
I hope it's just an illusion.
At the campsite, another bus arrived.
A group of chattering elementary school students got off.
"Task."
"Each class must be responsible for one class of elementary school students."
"This is social practice. You should also learn to take care of others."
"Act together with them, look after them, to avoid any accidents."
Mafuyu briefly explained the details of the activity.
"Now then, everyone, let's greet the older brother and sister who are helping us!"
A short, stout kindergarten teacher, holding a megaphone, directed the elementary school students.
"Older brother~ Sister~ Please take good care of us~"
The children's unique clear voices sounded quite healing.
"If anything happens, you can come to us anytime to discuss it."
"Let's create countless wonderful memories in this forest summer camp!"
"Please take good care of us!"
Hayato voluntarily served as the spokesperson for communication.
His sunny and handsome appearance won the favor of most elementary school students.
The first stop was a forest hike.
Sobu High School students took the lead, guiding the elementary school students forward.
"Oh dear! Elementary school students are really young. I guess we high school students are already considered old men?" Tobe was noisy as usual.
"Can you say less? I feel like I've become an old woman!" Yumiko looked speechless.
Saika said, "But, when I was an elementary school student, I also thought high school students were very mature."
"Don't you think so, Hachiman?"
The bright sunlight shone on the beautiful boy's skin, making Saika look even cuter.
Hachiman said, "Oh, wow... I mean from a legal perspective, high school students can already get married."
'That was close! I almost said I wanted to marry Saika!'
Hachiman forced himself to remain calm.
Depressed man, are you taking the philosophical route?
Tenya heard Hachiman's thoughts.
"Marriage, huh? My dream is also to become a bride."
"Hehe~ I'm just kidding!"
Yui smiled sheepishly, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Tenya behind her.
Although her actions were subtle, her inner thoughts were also clearly overheard.
"Is that so?"
"My dream is to become the husband of many brides." Tenya spoke the truth.
"You're kidding, right?" Megumi looked straight ahead.
"No, I'm serious." Tenya nodded.
"No way! The contract is unique!!" Rikka spoke with conviction.
Then she turned her head to try and find someone to back her up, "Rukia, the contract in the Soul Society is also unique, right?"
"Well...."
Rukia explained, "Regarding matters of marriage, there are no explicit regulations in the Soul Society."
"However, nobles usually take wives and concubines."
"That good?"
"I'll go register in the Soul Society tomorrow!" Tenya joked.
"Really?"
"Then you first become a Substitute Shinigami..."
Rukia's eyes lit up, she took it seriously!
"I was just joking." Tenya rolled his eyes.
Does she think he's as easy to fool as Ichigo?
Substitute Shinigami, fighting Hollows every day!
Not only that, but they also get involved in the battles between Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincies.
Although Tenya wasn't afraid of fighting, there was no need for him to voluntarily step into this mess.
"Why are you so unresponsive!" Rukia looked helpless.
Just then, a team of elementary school students not far away let out exclamations.
"I'll go take a look!"
Hayato, who was very responsible, ran over immediately.
"It's nothing, it's just a snake." Hayato picked up the snake and threw it into the distant bushes.
"Older brother is so amazing."
"He actually dared to touch it!"
Adoration from the elementary school students.
"It's okay, it doesn't bite people, and it's not venomous." Hayato explained patiently.
"Even if it's not venomous, I still don't want to touch it."
"Everyone agrees, right?"
Several elementary school students exchanged smiles.
Only one girl stood alone in the corner, a mini camera hanging around her neck, looking out of place compared to the others.
"A child forgotten by the world." Rikka sighed.
It was as if she remembered her past self.
Just like Stand Users are attracted to each other, lonely people also seem good at finding other lonely people.
"That child is being excluded." Megumi hit the nail on the head.
"Negative emotions often attract strange things." Tenya's words had a hidden meaning.
He could already sense the spirits from all around the forest, beginning to stir.
Hayato led a team of elementary school students, chatting and laughing.
He also noticed the girl who had fallen behind and tried to pull her back into the group, but it was clearly ineffective.
During break.
The elementary school students happily gathered together for a picnic, and the girl who was alone was once again excluded.
"Girl forgotten by the world, do you feel lost?"
Rikka put one hand to her forehead, striking a pose she thought was cool.
"Chunnibyou?"
The elementary school student looked disdainful.
"Eh?" Rikka took an arrow to the heart.
To think, she was being looked down upon by an elementary school student?
"Why?"
"Isn't Takanashi-san already used to being Chunnibyou?" Megumi curiously asked.
"Being looked down upon by an elementary school student for the first time, the embarrassment level must be off the charts, right?" Tenya teased.
"Mmm mmm mmm~"
Rikka, whose past had been revealed, puffed up her cheeks in anger!
"Name." The elementary school student suddenly spoke.
On the surface, she pretended not to care, but in reality, she really wanted to make friends. Tenya had already heard her inner thoughts.
"Evil King's True Eye User!" Rikka replied instantly.
"I'm asking for your real name."
The elementary school student looked speechless, then looked at the boy who seemed more reliable.
"Sharingan User." Tenya replied.
"Huh???"
No?
You high school students, are you all this Chunnibyou?
"I am a Shinigami!"
Rukia also felt a surge of playfulness after a long time.
