summer vacation - ( the brutes and nobles 5 )

[mandytl]

Location: Underground Live House

< An hour later. >

Yuzuru: Preparations for the tea party are complete, everyone. ♪

Koga: A tea party? You always sound so girly.

You've got a pretty fit lookin' build for such an effeminate guy, though... somethin' about that's real strange, huh?

Yuzuru: Please don't feel up my abs, Oogami-sama.

In any case, is it truly all right to partake of our tea and snacks here instead of a restaurant?

Rei: Quite. We were planning on holding a party after our performance. It'd be more convenient if you were to join us.

Not only would it be awkward, but it'd be hard to decline your offer when being treated to a high-class, luxury meal.

Yuzuru: Fufu. I assure you, I have no such ulterior motives... well, it's fine since I had yet to book a table.

Come to think of it, overindulging at this hour would only put on fat.

Kaoru: Oh, so you actually watch your figure, huh? That's great, great. Our shitty little brats should take a page out of your book, really.

They eat up everything in a heartbeat without leaving even a single grain of rice behind.

Adonis: It'd be rude to whoever cooked to leave anything leftover.

Losing weight's easier in the summer, but if you don't eat properly you might get heatstroke.

Kaoru: Hahaha. Adonis-kun talks back more than you think he would. It's whatever, though. You're a growing boy so eat as much as you want.

Yuzuru: By all means, please, help yourselves.

I was sure the store-bought snacks wouldn't be enough and so I prepared a light meal as well.

I appreciate your letting me use the kitchen... Kaoru-sama.

Kaoru: Yeah. Anyway, could you quit it with the "-sama"? It makes my skin crawl. ... what was your name again, anyway? How often do you get people telling you that you sound condescending?

Yuzuru: It's Fushimi Yuzuru. It's been a while since we last kept in touch, Kaoru-sama.

Kaoru: Uhm, kept in touch... — have we met before?

Sorry~. It's my philosophy to barely remember a guy's face or name. ♪

Yuzuru: Certainly. Though it's been quite some time since we last saw each other, I did say hello to you at a social event before.

Well, I suppose there's nothing to be done about my not standing out. I was merely there to escort my young master.

Kaoru: Ah...

Ohh, I remember now. Aren't you with the Himemiya's?

Koga: Hey — I don't care about this crap; get back to the main topic already.

I wanna hurry back home and chill. If I'm late comin' home Leon gets lonely and starts botherin' the neighbors with his howling.

Yuzuru: Of course. I believe Anzu-said gave you a brief explanation while I was preparing our meal.

We thought to invite you, UNDEAD, on a summer vacation trip.

All expenses will be covered. As for your schedules, I'm sure we can accommodate and make adjustments.

If you have any other requests, please feel free to give them to me.

I'll do all I can to meet your needs and modify the plans for our trip if need be.

Since the details haven't been finalized as of yet, I can make as many modifications as needed.

What do you think? Please give it some thought.

Kaoru: Hmmm~. I’m actually a little apprehensive since it sounds too good to be true, but otherwise I'm in!

Going to some tropical island would be nice. I'm really craving the ocean since I haven't been able to do any surfing at all this year. ♪

Adonis: Fufu. There wasn't any time to have fun when we were working non-stop during PirateFes.

As for me, I've no objections. I'd rather go somewhere far away while my sisters are home on vacation and making life exhausting.

Kaoru: Hahah. You have been sighing a lot lately, huh, Adonis-kun.

Meanwhile, I feel at at home with my annoying family members finally away for the summer under the pretense of a 'business trip'.

Rei: While I'm concerned as to what Tenshouin-kun's true intentions are, this proposal sounds most desirable.

We'd be able to "let loose" somewhere cooler, far from this muggy, sweltering weather, correct?

How about it, Puppy? Or will you say something akin to, "I don't plan on makin' nice!"?

Koga: Hmm... it's fine with me. Better than bein' stuck in this boring venue.

I wanna make it big overseas in a flashy way. If someone's willin' to set me up with a one-way ticket then I'd be pretty damn grateful.

That playboy nailed it earlier, though. It sounds way too convenient to be real.

No matter what people're plottin' though, UNDEAD'll face 'em fairly, head-on, and the stomp 'em into the ground while cackling.

All right. I dunno what you're plannin', but I'll take ya up on the offer.

I got news for you, though. I'm goin' straight home durin' this thing if it ends up bein' one lazy vacation. Make sure ya got work and lessons for us to do, got it? Aahn?

Yuzuru: Naturally. It's a training camp—in other words, a way of rehearsing for our tour overseas.

Though when you consider President-sama's personality, it can't possibly be that simple.

Fufu. In any case, I'm relieved I was able to receive favorable answers from all of you. You consented so easily that I almost feel outwitted.

I'll be able to tell the others the good news.

Having accomplished that task alone feels similar to a child completing an errand, so... I'd like to take this opportunity to inquire as to your demands for our trip.

Something you're not willing to compromise on?

Koga: Ah — it's cool to bring dogs, right? I don't wanna leave Leon behind. There ain't anyone I can ask to watch over him while I'm gone, either, so...

Yuzuru: Absolutely not.

... ah, no, it's quite all right. Uhm, a dog can fly too as long as we carry out the necessary formalities? I believe it's possible to accommodate for where it'll stay as well?

Koga: You got shifty eyes... what's up? Is somethin' wrong?

Yuzuru: Why, no. Not at all.

Adonis: ...

Yuzuru: Otogari-sama, was it? You look anxious. Are you concerned about anything thus far?

Adonis: Yeah... You haven't decided on where we're going yet?

There's a chance I might cause some inconvenience, so I wanted you to take my position into account before deciding on our destination.

Yuzuru: I see... some inconvenience, you say?

Rei: Fufu. I'm sure it'll be fine. When you consider the purpose of this trip, we're sure to be heading towards some tropical island far, far from Adonis-kun's country.

Adonis: Right. That'll be better for me. I apologize for being so selfish.

Yuzuru: It wasn't that self-centered at all... hmm. Though it sounds like you're involved in something.

Adonis: Don't worry about it. Traveling the world to sing in various countries is my dream. I'm actually pretty excited. Thank you for bringing us the good news, Fushimi.

Yuzuru: ... ?
