A few days after Obon was over. | |||
The day of the Neighbors Club's training camp was upon us. | |||
We were going to be spending 3 days and 2 nights at the Kashiwazaki family's villa and private beach. | |||
The rest of the members had already arrived in front of the ticket gate in the middle of Tohya Station by the time Kobato and I arrived. | |||
Yozora, Sena, Yukimura, Rika | Yozora, Sena, Yukimura, Rika, and Maria. | ||
As usual, Rika was in her uniform with a lab coat on top of it, Yukimura was in his maid outfit, and Maria was wearing her sister outfit that she wears at the academy. | |||
Tohya station could almost be called the center of Renya city, and was fairly big with plenty of people going through it, which of course meant we got just as many weird looks. | |||
Seriously, why do they always wear the same clothes...? | |||
"Mu... | "Mu... Why is that pawn of God here...?" | ||
Kobato | Kobato gave Maria her usual treatment. | ||
" | "Heh heh, because I'm the teacher here. I'm here to keep an eye on you rotten oranges so you don't cause any trouble. You should be thankful!" | ||
Maria stuck her chest out full of pride, and Yozora casually handed her an empty can. | |||
"Hey, | "Hey, Ms. Maria who I'm so thankful to. Throw this out." | ||
" | "Eh...?" Maria just stared at her, and then said, | ||
" | "W-why do I have to throw out your dumb juice can, stupid Yozora!" | ||
" | "It's not juice, it's coffee." | ||
" | "That doesn't matter!" | ||
" | "Well this is a problem... I thought the only one capable of handling such an important task was the ever-reliable genius Ms. Maria..." | ||
" | "R-Really? Heh, you're so hopeless! The reliable and clever Ms. Maria will just have to go throw that can out for you then!" | ||
" | "Good, you really are reliable aren't you, Ms. Maria? The garbage bin is over that way. Hurry up and get moving, oh so clever Ms. Maria." | ||
" | "I got it! Just leave it to me, since I'm so reliable!" | ||
Maria took the can and went off to the garbage bin, not realizing Yozora was mocking her at all. | |||
She's always so easy to trick like that. | |||
After Maria was a good ways away, Yozora turned toward us and said, | |||
" | "Now then, we're all here so let's go. I bought all your tickets already." | ||
" | "Are you the incarnation of Satan himself!?" | ||
" | "I'm just kidding." | ||
I yelled at Yozora, and she replied in a tone that sounded happier than usual to me. | |||
Anyway, we waited for Maria to return, and then went through the ticket gate and onto our train. | |||
<p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | <p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | ||
Our destination, Sena's villa, was in another prefecture, and according to the train schedule it'd take us about two and a half hours to get there from Tohya Station. | |||
When we first got on, the train was pretty full, but after about 30 minutes when we got to a big station, a ton of people snuck off, and after that, the number of people kept continuing to decrease. | |||
Yozora | Yozora and Rika looked like zombies for the first 30 minutes, but after the people got off they started to look better. | ||
We were currently broken up into two groups, each sitting in box seats. | |||
One set of seats was Kobato, Yukimura, Maria and I, and in the other was the Yozora/Sena pair. | |||
I picked out a seat at random, and was soon followed by Kobato, Maria, and Yukimura who sat in the same box with me, which was essentially the most natural arrangement for us anyway. | |||
By the way if you're wondering about Rika, as soon as the people got off, she said "I'm gonna go 'enjoy' the part where the cars are connected." and left us. | |||
Yozora | Yozora was reading a book, Sena was playing a video game, and were basically just doing what they normally do to kill time in the clubroom. | ||
Our side was playing old maid, and we were currently right in the middle of a fierce battle between Kobato and Maria to determine 3rd place. | |||
" | "Ghh, another old maid...!" | ||
Maria groaned after drawing a joker. | |||
"Kukuku, | "Kukuku, imbecile... You're already under the control of the darkness... Escape is impossible... It's about time we sing your final requiem... I draw...!" | ||
Kobato | Kobato took a card from Maria's hand with the usual grin on her face. | ||
"Uu~... | "Uu~... I picked the old maid..." | ||
" | "Kuhaha! Serves you right! That's what you get for turning your back on God you poop vampire! Ahaha, now I'm going to win...... Gyahh! Another old maid!?" | ||
... | ...This is at least our 10th game, and every time both Yukimura and I finished early while these two duked it out for 3rd place. | ||
They both wear their emotions on their sleeves, and on top of that they're so obvious about everything that it makes them ridiculously bad at old maid. | |||
On the other hand, Yukimura and that crazy poker face of his made him insanely strong to the point that I only managed to win the first game we played. | |||
The only reason I even managed that single win was because Yukimura was trying not to offend me by letting me win and picked the old maid from me on purpose. | |||
After I told him that letting me win is pointless and that he should play for real, he did so, completely annihilating us every single time. | |||
Every match ended up with Yukimura in first, me in second, and Maria and Kobato duking it out for third and fourth, so I can't say it was really all that fun. | |||
However apparently the only game we all knew was old maid, so we either did that or nothing. | |||
Oh | Oh well. Even though I'm bored it's nice to see Maria and Kobato enjoying themselves, so we continued playing old maid. | ||
<p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | <p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | ||
Thus, we spent a good two and a half hours like that. | |||
The train finally arrived at our destination. | |||
" | "That went by in the blink of an eye~ Rika could spend an entire day there." | ||
Rika | Rika who apparently spent the entire train ride over where the train cars connected said, as she joined up with us. | ||
" | "What's so fun about that anyway?" | ||
" | "Because it's two dirty lumps of metal bound to each other going 'clang clang' and 'bang bang' as the train moves along! It's not even possible to get sexier than that! Rika was starting to get horny just by standing there! Senpai, just where can Rika let this feeling, bubbling up inside her, out at!?" | ||
" | "Ask someone who cares." | ||
" | "I wanted you to tell me 'You can let it out on me!' right there." | ||
" | "Go let it out on that telephone pole over there." | ||
"Ahhh, but telephone poles are kinda iffy." | "Ahhh, but telephone poles are kinda iffy." | ||
" | "You've tried it before!?" | ||
She's as impossible to understand as ever. | |||
The train stopped and we opened the door to the outside. | |||
Outside the sun was shining brightly, causing us to cover our eyes. | |||
It was cooler here than Tohya city, but even so it was still hot out. | |||
"... | "...So, Meat. Where's this villa of yours?" | ||
Yozora | Yozora asked after walking out of the train station, that was completely dead, while airing her shirt out to cool off. | ||
Sena | Sena stuck out her finger and answered, | ||
" | "Over there. It'll take about an hour by foot." | ||
" | "An hour...?" | ||
We all made faces like the world was about to end. | |||
There were no houses around us, and you could actually see pretty far. | |||
And at the far end of a long asphalt road full of cracks, that looked like it hadn't been paved in some time, lay a large forest full of big trees. | |||
" | "Don't tell me it's in that forest..." | ||
" | "Yeah, it is, what about it? It'll be fine, there's only one road so nobody will get lost." | ||
Sena | Sena casually told me as a cold sweat ran down my face. | ||
" | "There don't appear to be any taxis or buses around here... not a single one..." | ||
Rika | Rika looked around, then hung her head in disappointment. | ||
It was already weird enough that the train made a stop out here, so, of course, there wouldn't be any buses. | |||
Sena | Sena then faced away from the forest and pointed while saying, | ||
" | "By the way, the closest town is about 5 kilometers that way I think. Papa told me all the stores close at eight o'clock, and that we should pay attention to what time we go out to buy stuff." | ||
"Uuu... | "Uuu... What a terrible place. Rika is too used to civilization for this. But if Kodaka-senpai lets me take a bath with him later I think I can manage." | ||
" | "Please don't strain yourself and go home then." | ||
"Kodaka-senpai... | "Kodaka-senpai... you're so nice..." | ||
" | "I'm not really saying it to be nice." | ||
I quipped at Rika whose cheeks were tinged with a faint red. | |||
" | "Heh heh, a tsundere huh? I get it. I-it's not like Kodaka-senpai worried about Rika, okay!?" | ||
" | "From whose point of view would that tsundere line be anyway?" | ||
" | "Who knows, but don't you think having a tsundere omniscient narrator has a fresh feeling to it?" | ||
" | "Yeah, I doubt anyone's done it before, but..." | ||
<span style="font-weight:bold">" | <span style="font-weight:bold;">"From whose point of view would that tsundere line be anyway?"</span> | ||
<span style="font-weight:bold;"> | <span style="font-weight:bold;">It's not like Kodaka made a remark like that or anything, okay!?</span> | ||
<span style="font-weight:bold"> | <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Who knows, but don't you think having a tsundere omniscient narrator has a fresh feeling to it?"</span> | ||
<span style="font-weight:bold;"> | <span style="font-weight:bold;">You'd be making a big mistake if you thought Rika said something like that, okay!?</span> | ||
<span style="font-weight:bold;"> " | <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Yeah, I doubt anyone's done it before, but..."</span> | ||
<span style="font-weight:bold;"> | <span style="font-weight:bold;">Is what Kodaka said, b-but it's not like Kodaka really thought Rika's idea was fresh or anything, okay!?</span> | ||
... | ...I tried imagining it a little, but it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. | ||
Who are you even acting tsundere towards? The readers? | |||
" | "Just because it's new or fresh doesn't mean it's a good idea does it..." | ||
But it's not like I really thought that from the bottom of my heart, okay? | |||
"Hmph... | "Hmph... in manga and stuff, when the characters go to a crazy training camp like this out in the middle of nowhere, the club advisor usually takes everyone there in a car, but..." | ||
Yozora | Yozora wiped her sweat, looking annoyed with the whole situation, then stared at Maria. | ||
" | "I-I can't help it! No matter how smart I am, there's no way I could get a license!" | ||
" | "I know. I never expected anything from you in the first place. Only an idiot would expect a little girl like you to be of any use out at a training camp like this." | ||
" | "T-that's not true! I might be a little girl, but I'm useful!" | ||
Maria | Maria said, taking Yozora's bait. | ||
" | "I see. Then you'll do exactly what I tell you." | ||
"Okay!" | "Okay!" | ||
"No | "No matter what I say you have to do it." | ||
" | "Yeah! I'll do anything!" | ||
" | "You swear to God?" | ||
" | "I swear to God!" | ||
Hook, line, and sinker... | |||
" | "There you go, getting her to listen to you again... What are you even gonna make a little girl like her do?" | ||
" | "I haven't decided. I'm merely the type of person who takes raising her pets very seriously." | ||
Yozora | Yozora casually answered my question. | ||
" | "Come on, quit talking and let's get going already." | ||
Sena | Sena said, hurrying along. | ||
"Oh | "Oh well... let's go I guess." | ||
I said while picking up the backpack I'd put down on the ground. | |||
Inside it was my change of clothes, swimsuit, and other necessities along with some ingredients to make us food with. | |||
We divvied things up evenly so that we'd each bring some ingredients, but I had the most with me. | |||
Seven people's worth of food is pretty heavy, and the backpack weighed down on me like a ton of bricks. | |||
I have to carry this for an hour, huh... this is gonna suck... | |||
<p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | <p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | ||
We spent roughly an hour walking under the blazing sun. | |||
You could smell the sea a little bit by the time we reached the forest. | |||
We quickly walked our way through it, and, at last, reached the villa. | |||
Right outside the forest was an elevated area and a sandy beach below it. | |||
The Kashiwazaki family's villa was sitting atop the elevated area. | |||
It looked like a normal, if a bit small, house with a garage next to it. | |||
" | "T-the sea! The sea! The sea!" | ||
Kobato yelled in a voice full of energy. | |||
She didn't pay any attention to the villa, simply staring out at the sea with shining eyes. | |||
The sun's light hitting the sea made it sparkle with a beautiful aquamarine color. | |||
I've lived near the sea plenty of times before, but because it's been a while since the last time I did, seeing the sea so close to me right now felt a little nostalgic. | |||
It's a private beach too, so obviously there was nobody on the beach or in the water. | |||
" | "Is it really okay for us to use this place all for ourselves...?" | ||
I unintentionally let out a sigh of admiration. | |||
" | "I-I-I-I-I wanna swim! An-chan let's go swim!" | ||
Kobato | Kobato was so excited she looked like she was about to run off to the beach and leave her luggage behind. | ||
"Heh, getting all excited over a little beach. You're supposed to be older than me, but you're just a little kid!" said Maria. | |||
She seemed to be trying to act more mature, but she could barely hold back a grin and was obviously shaking with excitement too. | |||
She sort of looked like she was doing a weird dance. | |||
" | "We can go swim after we put our luggage away." | ||
I told the two girls overflowing with excitement as we all went into the villa. | |||
Although it might not get used all that often, it looked like it was well-kept and the inside of it looked really nice. | |||
And just like Sena said, it seemed to have electricity. | |||
The place had everything from a TV to air conditioning, and plenty of appliances to use. If you ignore the fact that getting here is a pain, this looks like a pretty nice place to live. | |||
Anyway, I took the perishables we brought with us and put them in the fridge, and then had Sena show us where we'd be sleeping. | |||
We decided how to split up the room beforehand. It'd be me and Yukimura, Yozora and Sena, and then a group of 3 consisting of Rika, Kobato, and Maria. | |||
It was obvious that me and Yukimura would be paired together as the only guys, but the girls took forever to decide and ended up using a lottery. | |||
... | ...I get the feeling that pairing Yozora with Sena and Kobato with Maria is the worst way it could've come out, but that's what they decided so whatever. | ||
" | "It's your job to stop Maria and Kobato if they start fighting." | ||
I warned Rika, and then she said, | |||
" | "Please relax, Senpai. Rika can handle a pair of naughty kids like them in no time at all." | ||
" | "Oh? That's surprising." | ||
" | "Yep, my stun gun's ready to go whenever." | ||
" | "How is that supposed to make me relax!?" | ||
<p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | <p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | ||
We carried our luggage to each of our rooms, changed into our swimsuits, and gathered downstairs in the living room. | |||
" | "An-chan you're so slow!" | ||
Kobato | Kobato said with her cheeks puffed out. | ||
I was the last one to finish changing, and everyone else was already there by the time I came down. | |||
I would've changed faster, but it took me a while since I had to wait outside until Yukimura was done changing. | |||
Sena | Sena and Kobato were in bikinis, and Yukimura was in a bikini too, but with a paleo wrapped around just like before. | ||
Rika | Rika was in the same swimsuit she showed me before with her lab coat over it, and Yozora was wearing a striped full body swimsuit that looked like a prisoner's clothes (minus the horse mask this time). | ||
...Oh | ...Oh well, I guess it won't matter since this is a private beach. | ||
" | "Onii-chan! Let's go, let's go!" | ||
Maria | Maria came running at me and grabbed my hand. | ||
Maria was wearing a white school swimsuit with a name tag that read "maria" sewn onto it. | |||
Yep, a more normal swimsuit like this fits a little kid way better than a bikini. | |||
"Kh... | "Kh... You would do well to remove your hands from him, you pawn of God..." | ||
Kobato | Kobato said to Maria. | ||
" | "To think you'd attempt to try and seduce my fellow clansman with such an outfit... such impudence...!" | ||
" | "Seduce?" Sena asked, tilting her head. | ||
"Muu... Kh...!" | "Muu... Kh...!" | ||
I noticed Kobato's gaze was directed at a single part of Maria's body...... that is to say, she was staring at her chest. | |||
" | "Something wrong with her name tag?" | ||
"N-no, | "N-no, there's nothing really wrong with it..." | ||
Kobato | Kobato turned her face away trying to avoid the subject. | ||
" | "Ah, Kobato-chan are you worried you have even less of a chest than Maria?" | ||
"N-no!" | "N-no!" | ||
Sena's question made Kobato's face go beet red. | |||
" | "Chest...?" | ||
Now that she mentions it, I do see two little bulges on her that you normally can't see since she wears those baggy nun clothes. | |||
They were just barely big enough to make them look on the large side for her age, but even so, they were obviously bigger than Kobato's nearly non-existent chest. | |||
"Uuu..." | "Uuu..." | ||
" | "Hehe!" | ||
Maria | Maria let out a stifled giggle after seeing Kobato in anguish comparing the size of their breasts. | ||
" | "Ahahaha! You're older than me, but your boobs are smaller! Ahaha, hey did you know? Guys like girls with big boobs! Hey, hey, Onii-chan! Onii-chan, do you like big boobs!?" | ||
How can she ask me that with that innocent look on her face!? | |||
"A- | "A-an-chan doesn't like big ones at all, moron!" | ||
" | "Eh!? He doesn't!?" | ||
"... | "...You don't?" "You don't like them?" | ||
For some reason Sena and Rika joined Maria in seriously asking me about it. | |||
" | "I-I can't say... that I don't... like them." | ||
I didn't know what to say, so I blurted out a serious answer. | |||
I mean come on, I <em>am</em> a guy after all! | |||
It's because I'm a guy! | |||
" | "Ahahaha! See, look? Onii-chan does like big boobs! I know what that's called, it's uhh... ah, 'Big Tits Fetish'! Onii-chan has a big tits fetish! Ahahahaha!" | ||
"Uuuu, | "Uuuu, what's so funny you damn retard..." | ||
Kobato | Kobato ground her teeth with tears in her eyes. | ||
" | "So you have a big tits fetish, Aniki...?" | ||
Yukimura | Yukimura asked in a voice that sounded sad for some reason. | ||
"........" | "........" | ||
Even Yozora was glaring at me like she was pissed off. | |||
"Ahh, | "Ahh, come on! Who the heck even cares!? Let's just go to the beach already, come on!" | ||
I quickly changed the subject before things got any worse. | |||
<p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | <p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | ||
After grabbing a swimming tube, a towel, a body board, a vinyl sheet, a beach umbrella, and a few other things, we left the villa and headed for the beach. | |||
By the way, the body board, beach umbrella and beach chair were all taken from the villa. | |||
There was a small truck in the garage along with an electric bike that I saw too, so I guess going to town won't be so bad after all. | |||
"Oh hey, | "Oh hey, so, aren't we going to do you know what?" | ||
Rika | Rika asked as we were walking down to the beach. | ||
" | "What do you mean?" | ||
" | "That exhibitionist-type thing where we all make a pose and yell "The seaaaaa!" before running off towards it." | ||
" | "Don't call it an exhibitionist-type thing," I remarked. | ||
" | "Now that you mention it, the whole cast of 'Mofu? MOFU!' did that when they went to the beach. Yelling 'The seaaaaa!' I mean..." | ||
Sena | Sena said in a voice that made it sound like she was hoping we'd do it. | ||
" | "...That, huh... I've seen people do that in manga too, but... what's the point? Is it some ritual that normals do?" | ||
Yozora | Yozora looked baffled by the whole idea. | ||
" | "Maybe it's something we'll understand once we become normals too," said Rika. | ||
" | "Well, I don't really get it, but should we do it? As practice?" Sena said. | ||
"...Hmm, | "...Hmm, it would suck if we didn't know how to yell and do the pose right when we come to a beach party with our friends in the future." and Yozora agreed. | ||
"... | "...But, umm... I think that's more of a thing you just do in the moment. I doubt you can really practice for it..." | ||
As was only natural by now, my doubts were completely ignored as Yozora said, | |||
"Okay, | "Okay, let's give it a shot. Line up in a row." | ||
So we all put down our luggage, made a line right behind the embankment, and faced the sea. | |||
" | "So we look at the sea and yell 'The seaaaaa!'? I don't get it at all!" | ||
Maria | Maria tilted her head in confusion. | ||
"Okay, | "Okay, we'll yell at once when I give the signal. You can all pose however." | ||
Everyone felt a little anxious, but still nodded anyway. Then Yozora said, | |||
"Okay. | "Okay. Here we go.... One, two, three!" | ||
<span style="font-size:75%;">" | <span style="font-size:75%;">"T-the sea!"</span> | ||
"......" | "......" | ||
<span style="font-size:250%;">" | <span style="font-size:250%;">"The</span> <span style="font-size:75%;">seaaa</span>..." | ||
" | "It's the sea." | ||
"-- | "--The s- agk, gack, Rika's bad with salty air..." | ||
"Kukuku..." | "Kukuku..." | ||
<span style="font-size:250%;">" | <span style="font-size:250%;">"The seaaaaaaaa!!!"</span> | ||
The only one who was able to yell right was Maria (by the way she did a banzai pose), while the rest of us (me included) failed miserably. | |||
I felt incredibly embarrassed, so all I did was quietly say it without taking a pose. | |||
Yozora's cheeks were a little red too, and she didn't say anything (though it did look like she was about to). Standing there with her arms posed is more or less Yozora's default pose I guess. | |||
Sena | Sena went to yell normally, but once she noticed the only other one doing it was Maria, her face went a deep red and she cut herself off, frozen in a weird crane pose. | ||
All Yukimura said was "It's the sea." in his usual quiet monotone voice. | |||
Rika | Rika took a big breath before she went to yell, but choked on the salty air. | ||
Kobato | Kobato did her usual chuckle while posing as if she was gathering the power of darkness or something. | ||
" | "T-that was kinda..." | ||
" | "Y-yeah." | ||
"... | "...Yeah." | ||
Yozora, Sena, | Yozora, Sena, and I all looked at each other. | ||
It looks like facing the sea and yelling is pretty hard unless you're a real normal. | |||
Even if we can make any pose we want, just doing it all of a sudden is practically impossible. | |||
"... | "...This is something we should practice on our own, yeah. I'd bet a million yen that normals spend hours at home practicing making cool poses." | ||
Yozora | Yozora said trying to avoid doing this again, and I nodded in agreement. | ||
" | "Let's save practicing yelling 'The seaaaaa!' for when we're at a more advanced level... Anyway, let's go." | ||
A more advanced level? What? | |||
We all grabbed our luggage and started walking again with our newly gained awkward mood. | |||
<p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | <p style="font-size: 300%; text-align: center;">☺</p> | ||
" | "The sea! The sea! The seaaa! Kuhahaha! The blue sky, white waves, and pure red sun are calling to me! Yayyy!" | ||
The second she got to the beach, Leysis Vi Felicity Sumeragi (a vampire) made a mad dash for the sea. | |||
"Hey, | "Hey, wait Kobato." | ||
I grabbed Kobato's hand and stopped her. | |||
" | "Fueh? What is it An-chan?" | ||
" | "You can play after you put on your sunscreen." | ||
I took out the sunscreen from my pouch. | |||
We didn't need it at Saint Chronica Academy's pool, or Ryuuguu Land, or any other indoor pool, but for someone like Kobato who tans easily on a hot day with the sun out like this, sunscreen is definitely needed. | |||
She was already wearing that stupidly revealing swimsuit as is. | |||
"Mu... | "Mu... How very excellent of you to warn me, my servant... Getting into the bath with a sunburn hurts after all, kukuku... That fiery red star is such an annoyance..." | ||
I guess she must've remembered the time we went to an outdoor pool and got a terrible sunburn because she didn't put any sunscreen on. | I guess she must've remembered the time we went to an outdoor pool and got a terrible sunburn because she didn't put any sunscreen on. | ||
