King’s Proposal, Vol. 8 (light novel)

Ever since the Garden Night Soirée, Kuroe has been diligently avoiding Mushiki. Ruri quickly deduces that Kuroe is steering clear of him out of affection, but because of her own feelings for him, she doesn’t want Mushiki to catch on. Meanwhile, Mushiki’s class at Void’s Garden heads to a Hokkaido ski resort for a school trip. But a huge surprise is waiting for him there: the supposedly dead founding members of the Knights of the Garden appear out of nowhere! The next thing Mushiki knows, the newly revived knights are asking for advice on how to date Saika! Between all the mayhem, will Mushiki and Kuroe ever patch things up?
