Chapter 129: I Went On A Retreat

**I Went On A Retreat** is the one-hundred-and-twenty-ninth Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*. It is the first Chapter of Volume 10.

## Summary

The five students have arrived at Kamakura, and Yamada asks Ichikawa if he slept well the night before. He recalls their previous kiss, and concludes that the next four days will be especially sex-charged with them sleeping under the same roof, unsupervised. As he panics, Moe pulls out her phone and realizes that it's a thirty-five minute walk to Niko's house, and they begin walking while Yamada claims that Niko said there was no bus in the area. They continue to try and find ways around this until Serina turns and threatens Ichikawa, angry about the heat, and he decides to open a parasol he brought with him. The four girls react with envy, and eventually Moe and Chi take spots underneath as he holds it up to block the rays. As they make it to Niko's place, she opens the door, welcoming them in, and revealing an enduring Serina and a jealous Yamada, which Moe teases her over.

Inside, the girls fawn over the furnishings, with Niko claiming it is virtually unused. Yamada apologizes for entering while sweating, and the host jumps at the opportunity, motioning her into the bathroom, which Ichikawa realizes is a trap. He elects to shower first, but Niko rejects this, affirming his suspicion. Meanwhile, Moe points to a device on the kitchen counter, asking what it is, with Niko replying that it is a pet camera, but when the girls ask what pet she has, she suspiciously says that she has none. Ichikawa then walks over and places his outer shirt over the camera, and Niko, realizing she's been found out, says she needs to catch the bus, which immediately tips Ichikawa off that there was a bus route the entire time.

The girls continue exploring the house, with Yamada jumping on the large bed. The girls realize there's only one, and Ichikawa eyes up the sofa, but Chi makes claim to it due to not being able to sleep in the same bed as others. Moe points him towards a hammock outside on the terrace, and he lays down on it, realizing he's been put outside. As the girls unpack, Yamada declares that she wants to go straight to the beach, but Moe says that they weren't planning on going on the first day, because of their studies and needing to buy some groceries. Yamada then goes outside with Ichikawa, and nervously shows off that she has her swimsuit on underneath her normal clothes. He stutters out a response, saying that's just like her, while turning his head, and she heads back inside, now taking off her outer clothes, to which Moe tells her not to strip so obscenely. Serina lifts up her shirt, revealing her swimsuit also underneath, admitting that she did the same thing. The girls give in and decide to head to the beach, and head out the door while Ichikawa considers them as children. Realizing he has an opportunity, Ichikawa begins looking through the room, hunting for hidden cameras or anything else suspicious, and notices a small plastic square on the ground. He bends down to pick it up, and recognizes with shock that it is a condom.

## Trivia

* While the text claims that "four sex-charged days are about to begin," this is a play on words in Japanese, as this can also mean something along the lines of "four days of fate."

* Ichikawa spends a good chunk of this Chapter in fear that Niko has set up cameras to spy on them, namely Yamada, which explains his suspicious attitude.
