summer vacation - ( the brutes and the nobles 2 )

[mandytl]

Location: Soundproof Lesson Room

 

Wataru: Anyhow. I believe I'm the least restrained in terms of time as I'm able to use mine freely... so I'll go along with whatever's convenient for everyone.

 

I'll be fine whether you want to take a break and play around or do work and engage in lessons.

 

Eichi: Hmm... what to do. This is a little troubling. Planning out my schedule like this is new to me since I never really think about the future.

 

Wataru: Which reminds me, don't you all head to resorts for the summer? The wealthy give off that sort of image, or perhaps I'm just being prejudiced? 

 

Eichi: Before entering high school, I spent every summer overseas, though in my case it was meant to be for recuperation.

 

I may not be a vampire, but the harsh rays of the summer sun are still harmful to the body.

 

Yuzuru: I'll confirm that as well. The Himemiya family take annual trips abroad during summer vacation.

 

Though it seems this year my master and mistress are caught up in their work. We'll have to cancel if they're unable to return home from overseas.

 

Eichi: Yes; so I've heard. In the meantime I've taken into account the fact that you two might be absent when making plans.

 

Still, the Himemiya's seem fairly busy. Lately they've been rapidly trying to expand their business... well, Tori's parents are clever enough to make it work. 

 

Tori: Yeah. There isn't much I can do about it, but it'll be pretty lonely if Papa and Mama don't come home. 

 

Wataru: Ah, you poor thing! We'll give you as much love as we can in their place~. ☆ 

 

Tori: Eggh, quit trying to hug me! You've gotta behold my awe-inspiring self more graciously — I'm the Himemiya Tori! Touching me all you want is totally off limits!

 

( ... eheheh. Even if Papa and Mama aren't here, I'll be able to distract myself from being lonely as long as I've got everyone in fine. )

 

( I definitely depend on them too much, though. ) 

 

( We're Yumenosaki's top, the strongest unit fine. )

 

( We can't pretend to be friends or family like the rest of those fools all over the place. ) 

 

( Going away for the summer, though... it'd be fun if everyone in fine took a trip together to some southern island. )

 

( Ditching work, playing in the ocean only to talk all through the night — )

 

( But. All of that'd just be an unnecessary detour for fine. )

 

Yuzuru: ( Hmm. I understand what my young master's thinking about perfectly. I haven't been serving as his butler for so many years just for show. ) 

 

( However, while he does whatever he pleases at home, for some reason he acts rather reserved around the other fine members... ) 

 

( He's keeping those straightforward feelings of his hidden. )

 

( I ought to be sensible here and step in myself. )

 

This may just be an impertinent remark on my part, but what would you think... about using the free time we have to take a vacation together on a southern island?

 

Eichi: Vacation? That's a rather strange suggestion coming from you... ah. Hmm? 

 

Tori: Wh- what're you saying out of the blue, Yuzuru? I mean, what are you, stupid? Talking about vacation... even if it sounds fun!

 

fine doesn't have time to spare for stuff like that, okay?

 

Eichi: Not at all. I think it's definitely worth considering. 

 

From here on fine should also focus on expanding overseas. It's crucial to get a feel for the atmosphere of the site you're visiting before the actual international tour. 

 

What do you think, my adorable Tori? It won't be an ordinary vacation. It'll be a training camp, a way to rehearse before going on our tour overseas.

 

From here on out we'll try our hand with some intensive training before arriving at what'll become our overseas stage.

 

We'll leave the sweltering heat of Japan and hold the greatest lessons in a decent environment. It'll only benefit us in the future if we manage to gain fans overseas as well. 

 

It's a nice idea, Yuzuru. Let's go through with it if no one else objects.

 

There's a mountain of travel tickets given as a gift at home that my family never even asked for, by the way. Feel free to choose our destination. 

 

A refreshing plateau or southern island would be nice, I imagine. Fufu. My heart's pounding in excitement.

 

Tori: Eh? Eh? Are you sure, Prez... ? 

 

Eichi: Yes; I realized this during the Restoration Live, but it's important to take a detour every now and then.

 

It'd be foolish to spend the time drifting and doing nothing, of course, so I'd like to add meaning to our trip where possible. So let's review everything in earnest and settle on the details.

 

Ah... but first I'd like to confirm something. You have a passport don't you, Wataru?

 

There's nowhere pleasant to pass the time in Japan right now, so if possible I'd like to be abroad.

 

Wataru: But of course. I've been acting in shows overseas ever since I was a child.

 

If I'm not mistaken, it still has yet to expire.

 

Tori: Wah, really... ? I'm so happy. We can really go on vacation together?

 

J-Just for the training camp, of course. 'cause we're gonna work, right?

 

( Eheheh... thanks, Yuzuru. You could sense how I felt and made a proposal for me. )

 

Yuzuru: ( Naturally. A butler's duty is to always make the utmost effort to grant their master's wishes. )

 

Eichi: Quit talking with your eyes, you two... — Yuzuru. Since this was your idea, do you think you could you take over and work out the details?

 

Yuzuru: Excuse me? You want... me, to do it?

 

Eichi: I do. Since you aren't very proactive, I want you to take the leading role every once in a while.

 

This is a good opportunity... and it's not as if this'll become a major incident if you fail. I want to leave it all to you, if possible.

 

Yuzuru: I see... well, I believe I can carry this out in exacts since setting a schedule happens to be my forte.

 

Eichi: How promising. Then let's raise the stakes a little. Growth isn't possible without challenging yourself.

 

I'll be making a few requests in tandem with our vacation plans. 

 

This unreasonable request I'm making of you in particular is... — rather, the conditions I'm presenting to you to be fulfilled in order for us to have as much of a pleasant vacation as possible are: for you to plan, draft, and also lead our entire trip.

 

I'm sure you'll make us proud, so good luck... Yuzuru. I want the lovely memories we make this summer vacation to be outstanding.
