mandytl | summer vacation - ( war and peace 4 )

Adonis: ( It’s beautiful. )

( I could gaze into it forever. Hakaze-senpai and Kanzaki rave about it from time to time, but the ocean really is that beautiful. )

( Not having the words to describe the beauty of it is frustrating. )

( I’d like to stay here for an eternity, but people have never been capable of living underwater. )

( I’m starting to run out of air. It’d be awful if I drowned… — back to the surface, then. )

( Before that though, I want to hunt a little more for today’s lunch. )

Yuzuru: … ! … ?

Adonis: ( …. Hm? It’s Fushimi. )

( I thought it was a shark. But why? Fushimi is always so quiet and nice, but once in a blue moon he gives off the aura of a wild carnivore. )

( Anyhow, I wonder what’s wrong? He’s beckoning for me to come. )

( He’s pointing towards the surface. Are you trying to tell me to get out of the water? )

( Guess I’ll have to. It’s about time I came up for air; I’ll follow his lead and head back to land. )

( Goodbye for now, sea and its fish… I have to return to where I belong, back on solid ground. )

…

Kaoru: Ah — welcome back, Adonis-kun. You took one seriously long dive. It makes me anxious when I can't see your face for forever, so come up for air a little more often.

Adonis: Right. Forgive me for worrying you, Hakaze-senpai, but I didn’t actually dive that deep. I was only submerged for probably about double the average time.

Yuzuru: Fufu. You certainly excel when it comes to your physical ability, Otogari-sama. Well done.

It appears you didn’t change, though. Do be careful so as not to drown in the ocean currents.

Furthermore, please don’t catch fish so recklessly. Fishing is prohibited in this area to protect the ecosystem.

Adonis: I’m sorry about that. You should have said that earlier; I’ll be sure to obey the rules.

Yuzuru: It’s fine. I didn’t expect one of you to carelessly go catching fish while free diving…

It’s my fault since I didn’t mention that it was banned.

Adonis: No; I’m sorry for being selfish. I just wanted to add onto the ingredients since we’re going to eat soon.

I want to eat fish caught locally since we came all this way.

Yuzuru: Fufu. The hotel’s chefs are using ingredients procured locally. It’s sure to be delicious.

It’s not as if we washed ashore upon some uninhabited island. There’s no need to obtain food on your own.

If you’d like to catch some for fun, there are fish ponds on the nearby islands…

I can show you later if you’re curious.

Adonis: Sure. I like to hunt animals … — do you think my tastes are barbaric?

Yuzuru: Not at all. It's only natural to have such a desire; humans are animals, after all. Fufu. As expected, UNDEAD gives off a rather wild impression.

Kaoru: Ahahah. Really? That’s great.

Lately we’ve been so sloppy that after our “extreme and immoral” catchphrase it feels like there’s a (LOL) tacked on.

But, well… we seem like a pretty wild group to people who don’t know us all that well, right?

Adonis: Yeah. That’s the same impression I had before becoming a member.

This time we’re joined by fine’s more noble atmosphere. It feels like our wild, unconstrained aesthetic is being emphasized more this way.

I think that’s good since it’s probably what the UNDEAD fans are looking for.

Yuzuru: Fufu. It feels like I’ve been seeking ways to overcome my aversion towards our cheap impression of “noble and elegant!”.

Therefore, I think… we’ll be positively influenced by mingling with everyone in UNDEAD, our complete opposites.

That must’ve surely been President-sama’s intention when it came to inviting you all on this trip.

… well, and he possibly had some other more cunning things in mind.

Let’s leave the Machiavellian schemes to the more distinguished and enjoy our vacation at our leisure. ♪
