Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?

The finish line for the course was at the top of a small hill. The elementary school students successfully reached it before lunch. 

Next, they were tasked with preparing their own lunch. Outdoor stoves were available for them to use. 

Cooking their own meal was quite a novel experience for most of the kids at this age, especially in a semi-wild forest setting like this. 

Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly organized the children to collect firewood from the nearby woods. With so many hands helping, it only took about ten minutes to gather enough firewood for all the stoves. 

Then it was time for the only adult present to demonstrate how to start a fire. 

First, she broke up the firewood and added some dry grass. Then she lit a piece of fire-starting paper and threw it in. The grass caught fire quickly, and with a few waves of a fan, the stove was lit. 

"It's about like this." 

Hiratsuka Shizuka, holding an unlit cigarette in one hand and a fan in the other, looked proudly at her "masterpiece." 

"You seem oddly skilled at this, Sensei," Hikigaya Hachiman remarked dryly. 

Hiratsuka Shizuka grinned at the comment. "Don't underestimate me. Back in college, I often went barbecuing with my club members." 

She seemed to drift into memories, her tone tinged with nostalgia. "But while I was starting the fire, those couples nearby were all lovey-dovey... Ugh, it ruined my mood!" 

Her face darkened for a moment, but she quickly snapped out of it and started directing the children around her. "Boys, get the fires going. Girls, bring the ingredients over and prepare them!" 

"Got it!" 

As the children scattered to their tasks, Hikigaya Hachiman silently thought to himself, *Isn't separating the boys and girls here just your past grievances showing? Is this really okay?* 

The lunch menu was simple curry rice. The rice would be pre-cooked by the camp organizers, so the kids only needed to make the curry. 

Of course, the high school students also had to make their own curry. 

"As far as outdoor cooking for sixth graders goes, this menu is just right," Yukinoshita Yukino commented while slicing carrots. 

Cooking curry wasn't too complicated, but it wasn't so simple that it felt meaningless like boiling instant noodles. It allowed the kids to enjoy the process of cooking. 

The best part was that they didn't have to clean up the kitchen or wash dishes afterward. 

Beside her, Yuigahama Yui was clumsily peeling potatoes. 

At first, the dark-haired girl worried that Yui might accidentally cut herself. But after seeing her "bold and carefree" technique, she decided there was no need to worry about injuries. 

Cutting herself wasn't the problem—what was more concerning was how much potato was wasted in the process. 

"When making homemade curry, you can really see the cook's personality. For example, my mom often adds all kinds of things to hers, like tofu puffs," Hikigaya Hachiman said while tending the fire at their stove. 

"Exactly! Sometimes they even add fish cakes!" 

Tobe Sho, who was squatting by the stove next to Hachiman's, chimed in loudly, his booming voice startling Hachiman. 

"Uh... yeah," Hachiman replied stiffly. 

*Hey! Don't act like we're close all of a sudden. People might think we're friends!* 

"Homemade curry does tend to have that kind of variety. I've even had it with weird leaves added before," Yuigahama Yui added. 

"That leaf should be Laurier."

Yukinoshita Yukino said, and after a brief pause, she added, "Just to prevent any misunderstandings, I'll clarify first: Laurier refers to the leaves of the laurel tree."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was mentioned, let out an awkward sound by instinct. Then, to cover up his embarrassment, he changed the subject, "By the way, where did Hayashizaki-sensei go?"

Apart from the initial period, Hikigaya Hachiman hadn't seen Hayashizaki since. 

"Who knows?"

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't call him out on his attempt to change the topic and said casually, "He just disappeared into the woods halfway through."

"Eh? Won't he get lost like that?"

Yuigahama Yui was surprised, her tone filled with concern. "Although the area around Chiba Village is developed, not everywhere has roads, and I heard there are bears in these forests!"

"Don't worry about him."

Worrying about Hayashizaki is less useful than worrying about actually running into a bear. 

Though she said this, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but imagine the idea of someone as strong as Hayashizaki being a bit of a directionally challenged person—wandering around the forest and getting lost. She couldn't help but raise her lips slightly. 

"Really?" 

The girl with the bun looked at Yukinoshita with a confused expression, a question slowly forming in her mind. 

Why does it seem like Yukinon is kind of hoping her friend gets lost? 

Wait, what did Hikki just call Hayashizaki? sensei? 

Yuigahama Yui realized something important! 

"Wait a minute, isn't Hayashizaki-sensei the same age as us!?"

Yuigahama Yui exclaimed, even dropping the small piece of potato she was cutting onto the chopping board, "And he's a teacher!?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her in surprise.

"No, you didn't!"

Yuigahama Yui, flustered and in a hurry, blushed, her chubby face turning red, "Yuki-chan only said he was your friend!"

"Really?" 

Yukinoshita Yukino was a bit confused now. After thinking about it, she realized she hadn't mentioned it. "Sorry, I must've overlooked that."

She said a bit awkwardly, "But I didn't lie. Hayashizaki-kun and I are indeed... friends, but we also have a teacher-student relationship."

After hearing this, the expression on Yuigahama Yui's face became even more surprised, maybe even scared.

Teacher-student romance!? 

Yukinon is so bold!

"And Hayashizaki-sensei... looks so young. I thought he was around our age! At most, just one or two years older than us!"

Looking at the amazed expression on Yuigahama Yui's face, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. 

If what Hayashizaki said was true, then the age difference Yuigahama mentioned might need to be multiplied by a thousand times. 

But recently, for some reason, she began doubting the truth of Hayashizaki's self-introduction. 

Although Yukinoshita Yukino didn't deny that some of Hayashizaki's words had a big impact on her, she also had to admit that he often spoke nonsense just to tease and mock her. 

In this regard, Hayashizaki was like her older sister—difficult to read. 

It's kind of annoying.
