...Chapter 43...

...Strawberry Hugs on the Snow...

“Preserve the board at the position of the figure eight shape and launch slowly. Its alright. If you do it as you have trained below, you will be able to stop correctly.”

[Translator Note: The form of the number eight in question is in kanji\= ⁇ .]

“Y-yeah. I'm going to slide in the figure eight position, and when it stops, put a lot of pressure in. Yes, I'm sure it's okay.”

“Fufufu. Don't be so nervous. If you are afraid, just fall back from the waist. As the speed increases, don't panic. okay?”

I nodded my head, but even though it was a gentle path for beginners, it was quite frightening. Even so, Kaede-sensei who is equipped with glasses and starts gliding gallantly. Whoa, her figure left a double trail that aligned beautifully. Honestly speaking, Kaede was very cool as she slid down the slope like the wind.

“Yuya-kun! So far as this!”

Seriously nih. You've reached the bottom in this short amount of time.

He smiled and waved widely, but to be honest, it was a bit embarrassing. Because all the eyes around me were focused on me.

There are many people on this hill besides us. Moreover, this is a path for beginners. So no wonder if the age range of people here is low.

“Yuya-kun!! What was? Quickly slide!”

Please don't embarrass me any further, Kaede-sensei. Look, the fathers, mothers and children around me are looking at me with smiling faces. Uh, I'm scared, but I gotta go!

I feel like a Mobile Suit pilot. After shouting loudly in my mind, I immediately slid down the slope.

“Good, like that! Stay like that Yuya-kun!”

Really am! Am I gliding well!? My stance was awkward and I could only walk straight. Well, if I want to turn, I have to bend the opposite leg in front of the direction I want to go, right? Or should I put the weight on the opposite foot in the direction I want to deflect? A good idea is to put your feet forward until you get used to it. First, move your left foot forward.

“Good! You turned right right! Next, try turning left!”

I understand, Sensei. If you want to turn left, put your right foot forward. Oh, changing this direction is not that difficult!

“Hahaha! It was pretty easy to turn! Looks like I can handle this, Kaede-san!”

To be honest, I was a little carried away by the fact that I was able to ski really well for the first time. I was able to turn right and left well, so I decided to slide faster, and took a forward leaning position like I saw in the previous video.

“—Yuya-kun!? Don't be so, it's dangerous!”

“Santuy! I can handle it!”

Let me conclude. I can't handle it. As soon as I leaned my body forward, my acceleration accelerated. Tau-tau I found myself turning to the left, it must have been because I panicked and put too much strength in my legs. My goal is near, but at the same time, the safety net is getting closer. Kaede shouted something, but I couldn't hear it very well.

“Uwaaa—”

At a reasonable speed, I dove into the net and fell into the snow. Fortunately, this snow wall is as soft as fresh snow, so it doesn't hurt.

I tried to stand up, but the board that blocked me made me unable to stand up. I tried to wave at Kaede, who limped calling my name, to tell her that I was fine, but it was then—

“Yuya-kun!”

“Kaede-san!?”

When I realized it, Kaede ran up the slope and jumped onto my chest. I managed to hug her, but it got me back buried in the snow.

“Issh! Why are you speeding up your speed! What if you get hurt!?”

“Sorry. I feel like I can handle it, so..”.

“Yuya-kun.

In the end, Kaede who spoke helplessly, buried her face in my chest. Hadeee. The family members who were here looked at me with smiles, the students waiting on the elevator were exuding murderous desires towards me, and the students blushed and shouted in excitement.

“Umm... Susha-san. It's about time you wake up, otherwise you'll disturb the others. So... could you step aside for a moment?”

“...Notwithstanding. I won't get out of the way.”

“Do not do that. I promise I won't do this again. So for now you can get away from me. When we get home, I'll hug you as much as you want.”

While saying that, I pat Kaede on the head. I guess like this is okay, after all, there's no way I can hug Kaede back in public like this. It's not bad to be in close contact with Kaede on the snow, and I don't want her to sing myself, but my common sense has almost reached its limit.

“What did you say just now..don't forget that huh? When we get home, I'll make me hug and caress my head until I'm satisfied, that's a promise, okay? If you break it, you will be pierced by a thousand needles!”

“S-A man will not retract his words. So, get up quickly"

Saying that how else, the blushing Kaede stood up and extended her hand to me. Feeling a little embarrassed, I grabbed her hand and she pulled me. Thanks to that I was able to stand up well.

“Let's get back on track and ski again. We will try on the advanced line in the afternoon!”

“Isn't the path advanced level steeper? Even if I was careful not to go too fast, most likely I would fall spectacularly.

“If you fall, then I can hug you again legally, so fall as often as possible. Oh, of course, do that without worrying me. Don't do anything like that again, okay?”

That doesn't make sense, Kaede-sensei. I'm sure that every time I fall, you'll be running right at me. In that case, I'm glad you're worried about me, but it doesn't make sense to be hugged at all times. I don't know when I can hug you back. And it's probably tonight—

“Don't be shy, you can also hug me back, right? Fufufu, kidding.”

After whispering in my ear, Kaede descended the slope quickly. Needless to say, my cheeks instantly heated up, and I swear to avenge this later tonight.
