After finishing my workout, I came home, showered and sat down at my desk, and organized my schedule for this summer vacation one by one.
once first.
As the first promise made, the members of Group D of Forest School will go to the sea for 1 night and 2 days.
The destination was Onjuku Beach near Chiba, and we decided to stay overnight at a guesthouse run by a relative of Yaguchi.
The day I am going is August 8, and since it is the peak holiday season, I decided to go out of the way on the weekend.
And second.
It’s a student council meeting.
It was suggested to me when I went to the student council the day before the vacation, but this summer, it was suggested that the members of the student council go to the island to play.
The president is also in his third year, so he will be graduating next year.
Of course I couldn’t refuse such a request, so I said I would go.
The date to go is the 16th, mid-August.
The third was to go to the festival with Nao Minato, my junior, as an appointment made during the day today.
Right now, this Saturday is the festival, and it seems that she had been preparing for a long time in advance from what she suggested first.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to cancel the schedule just in time.
I’m a little worried that it’s okay for a famous celebrity to go to festivals with me, but I think it’s probably okay because this is the world of Rubco.
The last promise is to go to Fuuma-senpai’s hometown.
From what I’ve heard, it’s quite far from Tokyo, so it’s almost 10 hours by car.
I need the permission of the village elders in order to be allowed to pass on Fuuma Vision’s assassination right, the gale (Hayate), that Fuuma-senpai told me last time.
Contrary to the previous promises, Fuuma-senpai didn’t mind at any time, so I asked him to tell me when he had time.
He said he would be working part-time, unless there was something special.
So I haven’t decided yet, but I plan to adjust it so that it doesn’t overlap with others.
“…I have something about once a week.”
It feels quite unfamiliar to me, who lived the life of Asa until last year.
Is this the real life?
… can’t that be
With a grin, I put down the calendar in my hand, surfed the web for a while on my smartphone, and decided to go to bed.

Vacation is a poison for students who have led a regular life.
Unlike school, where daily work and time are fixed, people naturally increase when they lead an irregular and unplanned life.
Since I am very aware of that fact, I did not tolerate being lazy on my own.
Even if it was only for one day, he had tasted the sweetness of rest, so he made a plan for the next day and put it next to his desk.
“Well, that’s perfect.”
For gradual muscle growth, it was truly a perfect life routine.
With this, it seemed that I could reach my target weight of 3 to 1100 during vacation.
Recently, there was a lack of time to exercise, but because of the fight with Ivan, I felt the need to build up more strength.
And the best way to build strength was, after all, only through training.
“Yoosung! Eat rice!”
“yes!”
I was proud of looking at the schedule by myself, but after receiving my mother’s call, I left the room downstairs.
***
Lunch hour.
“Ryu-chan! Hello!”
“her?”
Aside from exercising, I was helping my parents with their shop work, and suddenly I blinked when I saw a familiar face that came in while walking on noren.
Its true identity was Rika and Ms. Maria, Rika’s mother.
“It’s been a while? Yoosung-kun?”
“hello.”
I bowed my head to Ms. Maria, who was waving her hand as if pleased, and guided me to her seat.
“What did you come here for?”
Then, Maria covered her mouth with her hand and smiled.
“Of course you came to the restaurant to eat, so what’s the reason you came? From what Rika heard, cheonggukjang here is delicious, so you came here to try it?”
I couldn’t hide my surprise when I heard that.
“You’re from England, do you like cheonggukjang?”
Then Maria nodded and said.
“There was a time when I was a little bit into Korean dramas. At that time, I went to a Korean restaurant saying it was a long day. Now I only eat it very rarely.”
Anyway, you came to the restaurant as a guest, but since you can’t keep up with the door, I escorted you to the inside table.
“Two guests are here!”
After shouting so loudly so that my parents in the kitchen could hear me, I brought barley tea and a towel to ask.
“What would you like to order on the menu?”
Then Maria, who was looking at the menu on the wall of the store with interest, asked me.
“What is the ossume menu here?”
Since I’ve never worked there once or twice, I was able to answer fluently without any blockages.
“Usually, our customers eat yakiniku a lot. They get the meat from a butcher that catches pigs every day, so it’s basically fresh. Other than that, gimbap, bibimbap, yukgaejang, and kimchi stew are also sold well.”
“Huh, okay?”
Basically, there are all the menus that come to mind when thinking of Korean food, so it is inevitable that it will take a long time to choose a menu.
I smiled bitterly and asked to tell me when I decided, and then served the basic side dish.
Unlike other restaurants, our house basically provides side dishes such as greens, stir-fried fish cakes, and kimchi, so it was well-received by residents living in nearby shopping districts and residential areas.
Tokyo is expensive, so it is impossible to serve side dishes to the point of breaking a leg like in Korea, but my parents always make food with the intention of providing at least one more for their guests.
“Wow! This oden is delicious!”
Rika, who seemed to be quite hungry, took a bite as soon as the basic side dishes came out and burst into exclamations.
I asked when I saw the two of them in their best outfits.
“Where are you going?”
Then Rika answered while muttering a japchae.
“It’s vacation, and I went to the outlet mall to go shopping with my mom after a long time. Originally, I was going to eat there, but I remembered the soup stew that I ate before, so I brought it to Ryu-chan’s house.”
indeed. That’s how it happened.
I nodded and looked at the side of Maria, who was still struggling with looking at the menu.
The blonde hair that ran down her ears was shining in a soft color under the store lights.
To be honest, who would think that she was an aunt with a 17-year-old daughter?
It is often said that Westerners age quickly, but Maria maintained her youthful appearance as if the years had passed.
If someone you don’t know sees you, they will look like sisters, not mother and daughter.
“Okay, I’ve decided.”

Maria looked directly at me to see if she had decided on the menu.
“Can I order?”
“Oh, yes.”
I took out the notebook and ballpoint pen I had left in my apron.
“First, give me two lines of kimbap for one cheonggukjang, and one yukgaejang and assorted jeon.”
I asked after jotting down the menu that Maria was talking about.
“The amount must be quite large, would you two be okay?”
Then, Maria pounded her stomach with a confident expression.
“Yoosung-kun, am I a pretty big eater anyway?”
Even with such a slender body, it was not very convincing to say such a thing.
Well, if there’s any leftovers, I’ll wrap it up, so it’ll be fine.
I asked, scratching my head with a ballpoint pen.
“What would you like to drink?”
“Oolong!”
Then Rika, who was next to her, opened her eyes.
“Mom! You came in our car!”
Then Maria complained that it was the second time, and asked for a change to oolong tea.
“Yes. I have an order.”
I said politely, bowed my head, and delivered the menu I had ordered to my parents in the kitchen.
With this, Hall’s role ended.
All that’s left is to work hard in the kitchen to make food.
Thanks to the two mothers and daughters visiting during peak hours, there were no people in the store, so it was a fairly quiet atmosphere.
Of course, I can still hear the TV, but to me it’s almost white noise.
I’m so used to it now that I can’t even get into the noise axis.
There was nothing to do even if I stood there, so I was just stretching. After ordering food, Maria, who was looking at me with a smile on her face, gestured toward her.
As I approached, wondering what was going on, Ms. Maria asked, clasping her chin with one hand.
“Is Yoosung-kun not interested in Comiket?”
“Yes? Comiket?”
I blinked my eyes at the words that came out so suddenly.
This is because Comiket is Japan’s largest subculture festival.
A festival of dreams held only twice a year, in summer and winter.
Of course, I’ve never been there.
I only know the name.
“I want to do a team cosplay this time, but there is one role that suits Yooseong-gun.”
As Ms. Maria said that, she had a captivating smile.
“Would you like to do a team cosplay with Auntie? We’ll prepare all the costumes here. It’s sure to be a fun memory.”
And I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by Maria’s sudden suggestion.
‘You want me to cosplay?’
It seems that I underestimated this worldview.
Yup, jojo cosplay is coming!!
