Chapter 107: I'm Looking Forward To It

**I'm Looking Forward To It** is the one-hundred-and-seventh Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

Ichikawa is walking to school and meets Yamada on the road there. She tells him good morning, and he suddenly realizes that she's switched to the summer uniform, while he's still in his winter outfit. She takes his stares to be him curious about what she is eating, and she tells him that it's Peyang, but he declares that he's not interested in that. He looks around at the other students gathering and realizes that they were supposed to switch uniforms today, feeling self-conscious. As they continue to school, he decides to slowly take off his extra clothing as they go. She announces that Summer is here as they make it to the front doors, and he says that she only changed from a cardigan to a vest. She counters, saying that the Summer skirt is different as well. He asks how that is, and she says that the fabric is different, lifting it up a bit for him to feel. He does so, but is in the process of taking off his outer jacket, and she nervously asks him why he's undressing, which he has no answer to.

Inside the classroom, Ichikawa is still ruminating over it being Summer, thinking in his head that he hates this season. Yamada is humming a song, and Chi is trying to guess what it is, but she says it's an original tune she made herself. Serina says that she seems to be in a good mood, and Chi asks if she got *that,* which Yamada shushes her over, but Moe seems interested to know about. As Ichikawa listens to all of this, Nigorikawa looks at him from the window, reminding him that this year Yamada is here, so things may be different. He tells his imagination not to get his hopes up, saying that nothing solid happened on Golden Week, and Yamada has been super busy lately besides.

Moriya calls attention to the class, saying that they will pick groups for the school trip. Yamada looks up at the dates, stunned, while Ichikawa, not noticing her expression, asks if they have any good food in Nara. When she doesn't answer, he asks what is wrong, and she plays it off as nothing. Kanzaki walks over to them, and says that they should be in the same group. He agrees, and Kanzaki offers to invite Yamada, too. Ichikawa insists on asking himself, and walks up to her, seeing that the girls are still planning out their numbers. He says that he could join, if that's okay, and Yamada tells the girls. Moe refuses, saying that the groups are split according to rooming assignments, and the two lovers blush because of the implication. He looks over at Kanzaki, saying his name in accusation, but Kanzaki is standing next to Yamada Teppei, the member of the baseball club that joined their class this year, and he realizes his mistake.

That night, Ichikawa is back in his room and is thinking about how tiring the day has been. He looks over the guidebook for the school trip, and searches his books, finding the book for the Nagano trip that he skipped in previous years. He considers why he even saved it, when suddenly Nigorikawa manifests, saying that a school trip means a first kiss, just like in the School Trip Arc of Your Color's Octave Volume 12, with Lucifer Nigorikawa appearing to say that it might even go beyond kissing. Ichikawa tells them to get lost and lays down on his bed, wondering if he's looking forward to the trip. Suddenly, his phone goes off, and he answers Yamada, who was wondering if he would even be awake. He asks what is up, but immediately notices that Your Color's Octave Volume 12 is on her bed behind her. He realizes that she must also be thinking about the kiss scene, He says that he still has her copy, and asks how she has one, and she says that she just bought another copy. He apologizes for not returning it sooner, and she begins talking to him about the school trip. He says that she was acting weird today, and asks if she's okay. She says that she had an audition for a drama, though she probably won't get in. He lays back down on his bed, and as she attempts again to talk about the trip, she notices the two school trip pamphlets behind him. She suddenly says to nevermind, and that she'll go on the trip. He asks what's going on, and she turns off the video as she begins tearing up. She changes topics to the foods they have in Nara, and he says he doesn't know. She offers that they have deer crackers, and he says to stick to people food. A slip of paper behind Yamada reveals that the audition that Yamada took part in was for Your Color's Octave.
