Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Drama CD Novel Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 2===

「……Thinking back again, why was I getting so into it like that?」

Himekawa was pondering while walking on a path inside the spa resort. There was vegetation at both sides of the path. The beautiful greenery was gentle to the eye.

However right now Himekawa didn’t take notice of such thing at all. She was muttering in a low voice while walking briskly.

「Then Himekawa, where are you planning to take me to?」

Kizuna was following Himekawa from behind while addressing her.

「It feels like I’m rushing into danger by my own initiative to be alone with Kizuna-kun like this.」

「Himekawa too has something that you want to do together right? What are you planning to do……wait oooi, Himekawaa. Wait for me.」

Himekawa walked with a pace that would leave him behind if he got careless. Kizuna jogged to catch up beside Himekawa. It seemed she was absorbed in her thought and Kizuna’s voice didn’t enter her ears.

「Oi, Himekawa!」

「Geez-, what is it, you are noisy since some time ago!」

She turned toward Kizuna gloomily. Kizuna made a troubled smile to butter her up.

「No, I’m just wondering where are we going.」

「You ask where……」

Himekawa stopped walking and looked around restlessly.

「Eh? Huh……this place, where is this?」

「I was also only following Himekawa……the amount of tree increased when I noticed. This place is like a forest, or rather a jungle isn’t it?」

「Is this the so called jungle bathing area?」

「Surely that’s it. Well, if we go a bit further, perhaps we will find a guide sign or something?」

Himekawa tightened her lips into a frown and she thought, but she immediately nodded.

「You’re right……let’s try take a look.」

However the farther they went, the denser the jungle became. It made them suspicious whether this place was really a spa resort.

「For a resort, this feels too much like a survival event instead.」

「Yeah, but perhaps we only entered the backyard accidentally.」

Himekawa nodded with a convinced expression.

「Certainly that might be the case.」

They pushed through the tree branches and advanced forward like that for a while. They could hear bird chirps and animal cries from the surrounding which made them felt like it was a real jungle. And then in reality the jungle didn’t come to an end no matter how much time passed.

「……We are completely lost.」

「Before that, is this place really inside the resort facility?」

「Yeah……no matter what this forest is too deep. It’s overly vast. Don’t tell me we really came into an empty island or something?」

Himekawa reflexively yelled.

「Such stupid thing is impossible!」

「For example, perhaps we passed through an Entrance without being aware or something.」

「Eh!?」

Himekawa’s face complexion changed drastically. Kizuna hurriedly waved his hand and denied it.

「No, as expected there is no way that’s true. But」

It was right at that timing they came to see blue sky ahead of them.

「Himekawa! That’s the forest’s exit.」

Kizuna and Himekawa broke into a run. Their field of vision opened up greatly when they came out of the forest.

Wind blew between them.

「Really……just, what is going on?」

「Lies……」

──’At that time, what is spreading before our eyes is the horizon that is continuing until far beyond. And then, there was a sea that is surrounding us in 360 degree. Without noticing it, we really are in a solitary island of distant sea.’
