summer vacation - ( the barbaric and the elegant 1 )

[mandytl]

Location: Port City

< One week later, fine and UNDEAD’s first day of summer vacation. >

Koga: Sighhh. We’re finally at the meeting spot. It’s only morning and already this hot... All we did was walk a little and now we're sweating. Ughhh. The way it's makin' my clothes stick is nasty.

Adonis: Wipe off your sweat, Oogami. You might catch a cold if you don’t.

Koga: Hah. I ain’t that weak. All I’ve gotta do is shake my head to get it off.

Adonis: Stop — it comes flying at me when you do that. I won’t be able to see if it gets in my eyes; I'll fall. Whatever happens to me isn't important — I'm more worried about Leon in the cage.

Koga: Yeah... my bad, Adonis, for callin’ you out here at this ungodly hour.

It would've been hard to move that and the rest of the luggage all by myself. 

You're a real lifesaver for helpin' me carry my stuff.

Adonis: You're welcome. Heavy-duty work's my forte, after all, and friends help each other. ... it's great that Leon could come on the trip too.

Koga: Yeah, well. I was a little worried when that Fushimi guy wouldn't stop complainin' for some reason. Apparently he can't handle dogs.

Don't you have a hard time with animals too, Adonis? Is havin' to be with Leon a problem?

Adonis: Not at all. Rather, it makes me sad whenever it seems like they're scared of me.

But Leon isn't barking at me in fear, so I think we're going to get along.

Koga: Hahah. Leon knows you're one of my buds.

Adonis: I see. Glad to hear it. I'm relieved that everything, outside of the issue with Leon, seems to be going surprisingly smoothly.

I thought this would be more difficult.

Especially after we were so hostile towards fine during the DDD. I didn't think we'd be able to get along and talk about
going on vacation together this easily.

Koga: Hahah. 'cause Fushimi and Anzu are good at this managin' stuff. They did a hell of a job incorporatin' everyone's
opinions into the planning of our trip.

This trip might really end up bein' fun. ... hm?

Tori: ...

Koga: Ohh. It's that damn pipsqueak from fine. It's almost the appointed time and he's still the only one here?

Heeey, pipsqueak! Where's the rest of ya?

Tori: Ah, Oogami... -senpai! You're late! I was worried I might've gotten the wrong meeting place since no one had shown up yet!

Koga: My bad. I was having a little movin' trouble.

TorI: Huh? Ah — a dog! You’re really bringing it with you?

My King's way too old to handle a trip like this, so I'm having my little sister look after him while I'm gone.

Koga: Oh, yeah. You've got a dog too.

Tori: Yep. Wanna see some pictures? What's your puppy's name?

Koga: It's Leon.

Tori: Really? That's a handsome name for such a cutie... who's a good boy, Leooon? Who's a good boy? My name's
Himemiya Tori; let's enjoy this trip together, okay? ♪

Koga: Hey. Don't go touchin' him without my permission.

Tori: Nnwah! Don't push down on my head! It's humiliating!

Mmh... having such a violent master must be rough, Leon. Wanna belong to me instead? I'll spoil you tons~. Good boy. ♪

Adonis: Fufu. You two really love dogs.

Tori: Of course; they're cute and obedient!

I can't stand Oogami-senpai, though. He's mean and struck me with a bamboo sword when we were practicing for that
Circus performance.

Koga: Aahn? You talkin' about my tough love? A spoiled brat like you won't retain a thing if there ain't pain to go with it!

Tori: I'd get it if you just told me. Ugh, honestly... I'm begging you, just... behave while we're traveling. I don't need you
bothering me on this trip.

Koga: Hahah. It's all good; Leon's the kinda dog who can read the atmosphere.

Tori: I mean you, Oogami-senpai! Geez. That dog's way smarter than you are~!

< Ten minutes later. >

Tori: Uhhiiiihh. It's soooo hooooot.... !

Hothothothothot! It's stupid hot! I'm gonna melt!

Isn't the boat here yet? I should be somewhere with air-conditioning already! I'm gonna die~!

Koga: Daaaahhh — you're so damn loud! Can't you just shut it for a sec? You're makin' things hotter with all that
shouting!

Tori: Uniiih! Don't pull on my cheeks! No violence!

What'll you do if my super cute face ends up crooked?! The tear-stained faces of my fans all over the world will make the humidity rise!

Adonis: Enough, Oogami. You shouldn’t pick on children.

Koga: I ain’t pickin’ on him; I’m giving a lecture! You’re lookin pretty calm over there, Adonis. What, people from your
country can’t feel the heat or the cold?

Adonis: We do, but the heat doesn’t bother me. I’ve developed a tolerance to extreme changes in temperature thanks to the many deserts in my country.

Koga: It kinda bothers me when you reply too seriously...

Anyway, where’s everyone else? We’ve been waitin’ here for ages and no one’s shown up. They know we’re meetin’ up
here, right?

Tori: ....

Koga: Hey, pipsqueak! At least pay attention! Show some respect to your senpai!

Tori: Gyah?! I can’t tell just by looking, and I can’t answer you when I’m drinking water!

I know the heat’s getting to you too, but that doesn’t mean you have to take it out on me! Geez. Going on vacation with a
bunch of brutes is the total worst~!

Koga: Aahn? You’re the ones who asked us to go on this trip. Don’t go grumblin’ and complainin’ about it now!

Adonis: Now, now… don’t fight. Let’s get along. We’re going to be on this trip for four days and three nights, right?

We don’t want to end this with regrets and bad memories. Knowing when to compromise is important. It’s better to hold it
in even when you don’t agree with something.

Tori: Yeah! You said it, big guy! I might be able to use him…

Waaahh! That mongrel’s snapping at me and I’m scared! Keep me safe~. ♪

Adonis: Right. I’ll protect the small.

Koga: Why, you! Don’t suck up to Adonis! If you’re a man, don’t run! Fight me! ( A man don’t run from a fight! )

Tori: Nyeeeh! Haven’t you ever heard the proverb, “the wealthy don’t fight”? So quit trying to throw down with me,
Oogami-senpai. I’m gonna catch your stupid!
