mandytl | summer vacation - ( war and peace 1 )

Location: Tropical Resort

< A few hours later. >

Eichi: Good morning. I suppose that isn’t the appropriate greeting to use right now, though. Maybe “good afternoon” will do?

Yuzuru: Fufu. Greeting others with “good morning” when you wake up should be fine. It’s around noon in the local time, by the way.

Eichi: Really? I suppose putting off lunch with a nap to relieve the weariness of travel was the right choice.

Now it’s closer to mealtime and my stomach keeps rumbling.

Yuzuru: My. How unbecoming of you, President-sama. Don’t you think you’re relaxing a little too much?

Eichi: That’s what vacation’s all about, isn’t it? Have faith in my ability to focus… after all, we’re still proceeding as planned.

Thank you, Yuzuru, for creating the perfect plan I desired.

You’re as talented as I’d hoped. I'll give you an important role from here on out.

Yuzuru: I’m not worthy of such praise. ♪

Rei: Fwaaah… that’s quite the unsettling conversation you’re having.

Yuzuru: Why, you’re also awake, Sakuma-sama. As I recall, you find the sunlight difficult to deal with, so please come beneath this parasol if you like.

Rei: Indeed. I’m most grateful for the kind consideration you’ve put into everything. The bed was super comfortable too.

Yuzuru: Yes; as President-sama once said, money is no object, and so I readied only the highest grade bedding.

Though in Sakuma-sama’s case, I supposed a coffin might’ve been more suitable.

Rei: Not at all. I don’t sleep in a coffin because I’m fond of it. Using a bed like normal is much better… keeping up with this vampire character I constructed is truly a pain.

Eichi: Fufu. I don’t think you need to go out of your way to keep playing the part.

Well, it’s very much like how others still inevitably call me “Emperor”. I'm sure it's a rather convenient label for them to use now.

Tori: Ah, good morning Prez~. ♪

Eichi: Hello, Tori. You woke up before me, then.

Tori: This is where I slept, actually. I can’t sleep with a different pillow at all… so when I talked to Yuzuru about it he led me over here.

There’s a hammock hanging up over there, see? I was able to get a little sleep with it slowly swaying me back and forth like cradle…

This is a totally different environment than usual so I had weird dreams, too.

I keep nodding off a little since I couldn’t fall asleep. It’s no use. Not being able to sleep when you really need to isn’t that great.

Eichi: True, but there’s no need to rush. You’ll pick things up gradually.

Yuzuru: It's just as President-sama says.

More importantly, Young Master, it’s about time to boost your hydration.

If you’re going to be outdoors during the day you’ll need to drink more water than feel you ought to.

Please help yourself to this tropical drink I prepared. Also, since I believe the sunlight’s bad for your eyes, let’s put these sunglasses on you.

Tori: Enough! You’re so irritating. Are you gonna suffocate me with attention here too?

You’re the one who organized the trip this time, Yuzuru, so make sure you’re responsible and take care of everyone else too!

Not that I mind, of course. You did help me out, and taking care of me is what makes you happiest, so.

Yuzuru: It is. After all, Yuzuru was born into this world just to serve you, Young Master.

Tori: Your love’s smothering me…

Ah~! But this drink's so good! It’s cooling me all the way down~. Yum yum. ♪

Rei: Fufu. How charming. This truly makes it feel like a vacation. Could I get something to drink as well, Fushimi-kun?

Yuzuru: Absolutely. Ah, but would Sakuma-sama prefer to have blood? Procuring that is rather difficult…

I’m dreadfully sorry, but would you be fine with the same type of tropical drink as the young master?

Rei: … it’s quite all right. Though aren’t you subtly insulting me with this pretend concern of yours?

Eichi: Yuzuru has a sharp tongue at times. As they say, every rose has its thorn… ♪
