summer vacation - ( the barbaric and the elegant 4 )

[mandytl]

 

Location: Tropical Sandy Beach

Rei: … you’re in an awfully good mood, Kaoru-kun. It’s kind of annoying.

Kaoru: I mean, it’s the beach! The pure, great blue sea that isn’t polluted like it is in the city! This is awesome. ☆

Hey, hey — if I leave my luggage can I play in the sea for a bit?

My surfboard made it to the hotel, right?

Yuzuru: Yes, without fail. Though I thought… this would be the perfect time to head to the hotel first for some rest and a meal. 

I’d greatly appreciate it if playtime could be after.

Kaoru: Roger~. ♪ Then let’s quit talking and get moving! We’ll finish eating in a heartbeat and then play around. The summer sun and sea are waiting for us… ☆

Adonis: Fufu. You’re skipping around like a kid, Hakaze-senpai.

Sakuma-senpai. Are you really all right, crouching like that? If you can’t move I can carry you on my back all the way to the hotel…

Rei: Hmmm. I’d like to ask for the favor, but you’re already carrying Puppy and his puppy… Leon-kun.

I can’t bring myself to burden you any further. I’ll do my best to walk on my own.

Adonis: I see. But please rely on me if it’s too much to bear. I feel fine… and I want to give back for your always looking out for me.

Rei: Such a kind child… in a word, I might’ve fallen for you a little. 

Wataru: Everyooone! If you’ve reached your limit then I’ll gladly carry your things the whole way!

Ah! Finally, the opportunity to effectively utilize the luggage-carrying technique taught to me by a mover in my younger days! How very exciting… ☆

Rei: Hibiki-kun’s just as energetic. Well, the sun’s his actual ally.

Yuzuru: Fufu. Let’s go then, shall we? 

…. oh. 

Do try to be a bit quieter, everyone. It seems Anzu-san has fallen asleep  … I’ll carry her on my back so as not to wake her.

Pardon me, Anzu-san.

Kaoru: Ah — no fair. Man, I wanted to do it. This was my chance to get her to owe me one.

Yuzuru: Fufu. It’s as they say, Kaoru-sama. “First come, first served”. 

Kaoru: Damn. Guess I've got no choice… though I’ll carry someone cuter than the other shabby looking faces here.

Tori: W-wah, what?! Don’t pick me up out of the blue!

Kaoru: Don’t struggle too much~. This is my chance to shorten the distance between me and Anzu-chan. I’m gonna score some positive points with her by acting like a kind, reliable onii-san. 

Basically, you’re my excuse. ♪

Tori: Seriously? Actually, I just realized this, but aren’t you the Hakaze’s kid?

You gave a kinda completely different impression back then, though, so I didn’t even realize… 

Kaoru: Then I guess you’re really one of the Himemiya kids. Huh? But I thought you two were just sisters who looked similar enough to be twins… ? 

Eichi: Tori was just as adorable as any young maiden back then. He’s just as cute today, of course.

Kaoru: Ahahah. You haven’t changed a bit, Tenshouin-kun. Frail like always.

Eichi: You think so? I think I’ve gotten stronger in my own way… well, not that I’m very persuasive when completely exhausted and sleep-deprived. 

Rei: Heeey, you well-bred bunch. 

I apologize for interrupting your rambling rich boy conversation, but at this rate I’m going to dry up… Let’s hurry and take shelter in the hotel.

Uuu. The sun’s rays are burning my skin… 

By the time this vacation ends and we return to Japan, I’ll be so sunburnt I'll look like Adonis-kun.

Koga: ... Hey. Y’want me to put sunscreen on you or somethin’?

Rei: Huh? No waaay — Puppy’s such a perv! You just want to stroke and fondle my beautiful, jade-like skin! You’re around that age, after all… !

Koga: What kinda character are you pullin’ now… 

It’s seriously bad for a vampire out here, so we better get you movin’ already. Which way’s the hotel, Fushimi? 

Yuzuru: You can see it from here. There’s only one building that tall on the island. It stands out quite well, doesn’t it? 

Koga: Oh, yeah. That over there, huh… it’s a little hard t’see with it backlit and all, but it’s a pretty damn gorgeous hotel. 

Almost feels a little bad gettin’ to stay somewhere like that for free.

Yuzuru: No, no. On the contrary, I’m ever so grateful that you’ve decided to take part in our trip this time.

It would be an unexpected joy just to know you’re satisfied and enjoying yourselves. 

Fufu. Let’s be on our way then, everyone. And once again: welcome to the isle of everlasting summer… ♪
