Living in a Class-Based World

Chapter 19 Class Trip ⑥

July the 17th marked Yuutas birthday. It was planned to hold a birthday party for him in the evening. As such, the preparations, which started early in the morning, in the ryokan were quite hectic.

While that was going on, Yuuta visited a garden, which was located a bit of a walk away from the ryokan, together with Aoi.

The garden at your home is quite amazing, but this place is lovely, too.

Yes! The ground is pretty big and all sorts of flowers are blooming here.

Aoi smiled next to Yuuta. Her white dress and the slightly big straw hat made her look very cute. Her whole appearance right now was so trim and neat that youd never expect that messed-up look she showed during the massage session.

I truly thank you for the enjoyable class trip.

Hehe Im happy to hear that you enjoyed yourself, Yuuta-sama Since they also have a ranch, we have planned to do some horseback-riding, camping at the river, and finally a firework display, so there is still a lot of fun to be had

A firework display? That sounds terrific.

Yes When the firework artisans heard that you would be watching their display after we decided on the class trip, they got very excited and produced the fireworks full of motivation.

Hand-held fireworks had been prepared as well, but  it sounded like they also had arranged for a big firework display to be launched into the sky.

The two slowly walked through the big garden while holding hands, enjoying their calm time together.

Is there anything you wish to become in the future, Yuuta-sama? Aoi asked with a happy smile on her lips.

There is. But, I havent fully decided on the shape its going to take.

Im sure that it must be something wonderful. And if you allow me, I would gladly stand by your side during that time

Id be more than happy to have you with me. If youre with meIm sure Ill be able to achieve what I want to do.

Hehe Please tell me as soon as you have grasped a clear image of what you wish to become, okay?

Okay. You will be the first one to hear about it.

Thanks so much

Oomph.

Aois force at hugging him was as intense as ever. She was a passionate woman when it came to the man she loved.

Oh, this place is

Yes They planted lilies here for me after I requested it.

Thats beautiful! Huh? Are those lilies as well?

Yes, lilies can have many different colors. Which color do you like, Yuuta-sama?

Hmm, I like lilies with brilliant colors, but in the end, white lilies are the best, Id say. They suit you the most, Aoi-san.

Thank you kindly After you gave me a white lily fan as a present, white lilies have become my most preferred flowers as well I had them make the Angel Suit white, too!

So the Angel Suits white stemmed from white lilies, huh?

Yuuta had noticed only now.

Yuuta-sama

Yes?

Would it be alright for me to give you your birthday present now? Everyone will be doing it during your birthday party, but please allow me this selfish privilege.

Of course.

Thats great to hear Please wait a short moment.

Once Aoi turned around, Manami stood there without Yuuta having noticed her approach beforehand. He thought that she might be somewhere in the garden since she had come here together with them, but Yuuta was surprised by her sneaking up on them like this.

Is Manami-san a ninja or something?

Thanks, Manami-san

Ill take my leave then.

Manami handed something to Aoi and once Aoi passed her straw hat to Manami, she ran off. Holding what she had received from her best friend, Aoi knelt down in front of Yuuta, and lifted her present up to him with both hands.

My birthday present for you is a dirk.

Thank you a lot!

Hehe I think it fits you perfectly. The hilt has a sunflower pattern.

Sunflowers for me?

Yes! Yuuta-sama, youre a bright and warm gentleman, just like the sun. Please always stay like that.

I will do my utmost to gently shine my light on you, Aoi-san!

Men would often give a folding fan as a present to the women they like as their first birthday present. It implicitly told the woman to protect him.

When it comes to a womans first birthday present for the guy she likes, itd be a dirk. In the past it held the implicit meaning to use that dirk to kill the woman, if she should ever betray the man. Nowadays, it didnt have such heavy implications anymore as its meaning had changed towards being a womans expression of trust towards her man.

For a short while, Yuuta enjoyed the bed of lilies while holding the sunflower-patterned dirk he received from Aoi.

Yuuta, Aoi, and Manami ate their lunch at the gardens restaurant and then went back to the ryokan. There Yuuta took a rest in his own room.

Meanwhile Aoi and Manami joined the birthday preparations. They got the venue and their own appearances in order with smiles all over their faces.

Yuutas birthday party started in the evening. Tomoe and two waitresses visited Yuutas room as he was relaxing after his nap. Those two waitresses were the ones who had gleefully licked his nipples in the Jacuzzi pool.

We have come to help you with getting changed.

Tomoe-san, you look stunning.

Hehe, thank you for the compliment.

Tomoe was wearing a gorgeous, black dress. Her make-up was perfect, too.

Please excuse me.

The two waitresses got Yuutas outfita tuxedoready. His hair got fixed up nicely, too.

July was in the middle of summer, but this place was a summer resort. On top of it not being too hot, they also got air conditioning. As such, the preparations finished without Yuuta becoming sweaty.

You look dreamy.

Its almost as if that is not me in the mirror.

Youre very humble. You have been training your body on a regular basis, so your figure has become truly wonderful, Yuuta-sama. The tuxedo fits you perfectly.

Thank you.

The waitresses left the room after finishing preparing Yuuta.

Please allow me to accompany you up until the entrance.

Im in your hands.

Yuuta headed to the entrance of the venue together with Tomoe.

Id like to provide the dresses worn by everyone for the cultural festivals evening party.

Im sure everyone will be very delighted to hear this.

Would it be fine for me to present you with a dress as well, Tomoe-san?

Hehe, I might end up ascending to heaven out of sheer happiness.

Tomoe revealed a truly blissful smile, but then she put on a serious expression the next moment.

Yuuta-sama.

Yes?

So far I havent heard anything about how you can pay for the dresses of everyone in the class, including me.

Ugh.

Yuuta unintentionally yelped at Tomoe suddenly broaching his financial situation after having ignored it all the time so far.

I met with Ayaka-san before the class trip.

I-I see.

I also met with Nanase-sama once and talked with her about various matters.

With Nanase-san?

The Yoshiwaras obtained the Succubus Suits technology. Does Nanase-san know anything about me?

I was told that there is no problem, so I wont ask you anything for now.

O-Okay.

But, I would be happy if I couldsooner or later hear about this directly from you, Yuuta-sama.

Tomoe faced Yuuta from the front, grabbing both his hands.

Please put your trust in me. You can always rely on me. Back then I was weak-minded and couldnt be regarded as dependable. But, I promise you that I shall be your power from now on.

Tomoe-san! O-Okay, I will always depend on you.

Yuuta was instantly assaulted by a stabbing headache. But, the pain immediately vanished.

Yuuta-kun?

Let us be off then.

Okay.

Once they arrived at the venue, the door slowly opened, revealing a dazzling party venue to Yuuta.

Happy Birthday!

Aoi greeted Yuuta in a simple, white cocktail dress. Her hair had been done up, causing her charm, which was different from usual, to skyrocket in Yuutas eyes.

Thank you!

Taking her hand, he proceeded into the hall. The class girls lined up on either of his sides had dolled themselves up, wearing cocktail dresses in all sorts of colors.

Congratulations!

The girls enthusiastically exclaimed as Yuuta walked through their espalier, before arriving at the deepest part of the hall and taking a seat there.

Aoi held a short birthday speech and Tomoe raised her glass for a toast. Of course they didnt drink any alcohol, but plain juice.

The center of the venue had been set up as a dance hall and a live band soon started to perform. With things set up like this, dancing was obviously set as part of the show.

Yuuta-sama Would you be so kind as to dance with me?

Yes!

During the ball at the cultural festival or evening parties held by the country, itd be a breach of etiquette for a woman to invite a man to dance. But, it was no problem for parties among family and friends. Rather, the invited women would be granted the honor to request a dance from the man.

Im quite nervous.

Hehe, Im certain you will be alright.

Yuuta had never danced a proper dancing style like a waltz or tango in his life, even not in his previous world, but currently he was working hard at practicing in preparation for the ball in November. Matching his pace with the gentle and slow music, he danced a waltz with Aoi.

Dancing in the center of the venue with just the two of them was nerve-wracking, so the other girls had formed pairs and were dancing as well.

You are good at this

Im already at my limit with just trying to keep up.

Watching Yuuta and Aoi dancing gracefully, the other girls got entranced.

Afterwards Yuuta would also dance with Manami, Moe, and Tomoe. In addition, he also danced with several other girls, but as might be expected, dancing with all of them would be impossible.

When exhaustion started to dye Yuutas face, the dance entered a break and the event schedule switched to the gifting. Because all the girls knew that Aoi had given Yuuta a dirk, they gave Yuuta other things.

As soon as the gifts were handed over, it was time to eat. The meal was served in a buffet style. And just as they enjoyed their food, they could watch fireworks exploding in the sky outside the windows.

Oh, fireworks!

It seems like they made these as well for your birthday party, Yuuta-sama

While looking up to the pretty fireworks, Yuuta spent his birthday party while enveloped in happiness.

Two weeks have passed since Yuutas birthday party. While the class trip had become even more exciting, Yuuta proceeded to deepen his interaction with all the girls.

At the ranch he rode a horse together with Manami. She used the time of hugging him from behind to actively court him.

Im also holding back, just so you know

Yuutas heart throbbed when he heard her sweet voice which was completely different from her usual behavior.

Moreover

My aspiration is to do it with the three of us like our mothers and father

The day where Yuuta would be able to make out with Aoi and Manami at the same time didnt seem to be that far away.

When they camped at the river, he spent some time in a tent together with just Moe. Yuuta was surprised because even Moe was quite proactive about approaching him. Something she would usually never do.

Moe was stuck between Aoi and Manami, two top-ranking girls even among high families, but she had apparently decided for herself that she genuinely wanted to become Yuutas lover.

After the Sick Visit Service I reflected on my fickle self while being guided by Aoi-sama. From now on I will actively show you my good points, Yuuta-sama, Moe declared her determination while clenching her fists, which made her look rather adorable.

A big firework display was held on the final day of the class trip. The fireworks, which had been announced to the whole region, turned into an extremely magnificent event with many thousand fireworks being launched into the night sky.

Apparently it was also shown on TV and thus Yuuta and the girls enjoyed the show from a distance. Being surrounded by cute girls in yukata caused Yuuta to smile in delight.

Just like this, Yuutas class trip slowly came to an end. Once it was fully over, they would all spend their time separately in August.

You girls are heading to your training camp from here, right?

Yes We will use August to improve ourselves as ladies. When we reunite in September again, you will see that we will have become a lot more charming and attractive

Aoi and the other girls would work hard in order to become even more charming, despite already being plenty attractive. Moreover, because they were going to this length for him, he couldnt help but to smile broadly in happiness.

Oh, they have arrived.

Two cars stopped in front of the ryokan. Ayaka and Rin exited the first car while the ones coming out of the other car wereKeita and Hazuki.

Keita-senpai!

Y-Yoo, long time no see.

Yes, you seem to be doing great. Nice to meet you, Hazuki-san. Im Yuuta, a first year student at Keita-senpais high school.

I-It is a pleasure to meet you, Yuuta-sama.

Hazuki resembled Keita in being an obedient and slightly plump girl. It was Yuutas first time to talk to her directly, but he vividly felt that she was a genuine raw diamond. Just like Keita, Hazuki was solely lacking confidence in herself, Yuuta guessed.

Please excuse me for making plans for a training camp for us guys without consulting your first, Hazuki-san.

Yuuta apologized for having decided on the camp with Keita, despite having informed her in advance.

N-No! I think its a good thing for Keita-sama, so

While Yuuta-sama and Keita-sama improve on their manliness, let us women refine ourselves as well, right Hazuki-san?

Ah, y-yesp-please take care of me.

Seeing Hazuki lack confidence in herself, Aoi got motivated to fix that.

Ayaka-san, please take care of Yuuta-sama.

Of course. You can entrust everything to me.

Tomoe left Yuuta in Ayakas hands as she would stay back here and train the girls.

Well then, we are off! Stay healthy and let us meet again in the second term!

Have a good trip

Yuuta got in a car together with Ayaka. Keita had a short conversation with Hazuki before getting into the other car with Rin. And then the two cars left just like that.

Hazuki-san, let us do our best during the coming month

O-Okay.

You girls as well. We will improve ourselves during this month to become even better women for Yuuta-sama!

Yes!

This marked the start of the girls summer training camp. They would work on themselves with Tomoe as their coach. Aoi and the rest continued to work hard in order to present themselves as more charming women to Yuuta during their reunion in the second term.
