It was August 16th when I decided to go to the president’s villa on the island with the members of the student council.
Today is August 9th, so you have exactly one week left.
“Of course I didn’t forget. What do you see me as?”
[Then I’m glad. It must have been a bit of a concern.]
I inwardly thanked the Vice-President.
If I hadn’t answered the phone today, I’d probably have completely forgotten about it until the trip was imminent.
It is also worth considering that there are too many schedules during the vacation.
“Are you and Minami healthy?”
[The two are no different than usual. I don’t know if it’s more lively. That’s probably because I’m looking forward to this trip.]
When the vice president, who is usually strict in many ways, says this, he feels a sense of responsibility.
I thought I was just going out to play, but it may have felt different to the president who is graduating next year.
“I will prepare well.”
Then the vice president over the receiver said.
[No, you are not ready. We will prepare everything on our side. You just have to think about enjoying a midsummer vacation with the president.]
“No, I’m still shy.”
All meals and transportation are provided at the dormitory, but it is against my conscience to prepare nothing.
[Anyway, considering the wealth of the Saionji family, the cost of your own alone is nothing. As I said before, you just need to come.]
“…All right.”
I spoke in such a strong tone, but I had no reason to protest anymore, so I decided to quietly accept the favor of the president.
[Then I’ll see you that day. Stay healthy.]
“Ah, yes. Vice-President is also well…”
Click!
The call hangs up before I have even finished speaking.
I wondered if he had been kind to me for a long time, but the vice president was still the vice president.
The fact that he cares so much for the president could be transmitted through the handset.

a week after that.
Since I didn’t have any special appointments, I spent a leisurely time going back and forth between home and the gym.
Despite refusing to confess at the last festival, Minato still sent text messages with a friendly feeling, and I responded appropriately so that she would not be hurt even though I felt uncomfortable.
Compared to the previous time when I was only talking about muscles, I felt that I was approaching a little bit more, perhaps because I remember what I said at the festival.
In the case of the group D members, who were disappointing last time, they gathered on the weekend and went to a karaoke room together.
After singing joyfully, we ate at a family restaurant, then went to the arcade and returned home.
Regardless of the rules of romantic comedy, I played like a normal high school student.
Considering that I only had my parents’ numbers in my phone address book before, I feel like I’ve made great strides now.
Not only the group D members, including the class leader and Satoru, but also his junior Minato and Meiling, who returned to China, are recorded.
In the case of Meiling, there was only one international call.
When I told Master about me, he showed interest~, or he said that it would take quite a while to travel back to Japan to participate in an international competition.
It may seem a bit unusual considering that she has only been gone for about two weeks, but the vacancy feels even bigger without it.
First of all, he served as a foodie at my house for five days.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and finally August 16 came.
The long summer vacation was already halfway through.

on the day of the appointment.
bang!!
“Oh ho ho ho ho! Hello! Mother! See you after a long time!”
It was the chairman and his crew that opened the store door from early morning and came in.
It feels like I haven’t seen you in a very long time.
The last time I saw it was about three weeks ago, on the day of summer vacation.
I heard that the president was coming to pick me up a week ago, so I was preparing my heart, but he still appears loudly.
“Oh my, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Chairman.”
When my mother, who was just filling the bottle in the refrigerator, greeted me warmly, the president covered his mouth with a fan and glanced at Minami next to him.

Minami then nodded and held out the bag she was holding in her right hand.

Ms. Mija asked, blinking her eyes.
“What is this?”
Then Minami, who was asked the question, bowed her head slightly and said.
“This is a gift set of green tea from the president’s favorite brand. I hope you like it.”
“Oh my, all of these things! You can come with your bare hands.”
Even though she said so, she did not refuse the gift.
This is because I usually like to drink tea when the shop is free.
I’ve said that at first glance before, but it seems that the president didn’t forget it and remembered it.
“Since you’ve come, how about having a cup of tea and going? I can prepare it right away.”
Then the president shook his head and said.
“I’m very sorry, but that seems to be difficult. The time remaining right now is quite tight.”
“Oh, if that’s the case, I can’t help it.”
As my mother drooped over her shoulders, it must have been painful to watch, and President Guernsey immediately added:
“Instead, when this trip is over, I’ll come back and join my mother’s tea party. So don’t be disappointed.”
“President….”
As the two women with the same name were exchanging strange emotions, the vice president looked at the clock nervously.
“Chairman, we don’t have time. If we want to be on time, we must leave now.”
“Oh, it was.”
The president muttered, “Look at my mind,” and looked at me.
“Secretary Kim Yoo-seong, are you ready?”
“Oh, yes. I prepared it last night.”
I said that it would be okay to come barefoot as I would literally prepare everything, but I thought I would have to bring a change of clothes, so I put some in my bag.
“Then let’s leave right now. If we want to be on time for the plane, it’s pretty tight if we leave right now.”
“Yes? A plane?”
I was surprised as I followed the president out of the store door.
Wasn’t it by car?
Then the president tilted his head and said.
“Didn’t I tell you before? Our family’s villa is in Okinawa.”
“This is the beginning of the golden hour.”
“Then it’s fine now that you’ve heard it. The special training camp for the student council will be held at a villa built on an island in Okinawa that belongs to my family.”
Something, like a Japanese manga cliché, suddenly popped out.
It’s an island owned by a family, how much money do you have?
Anyway, it was said that the flight time was short, so I got into the limousine that the president rode, like roasting beans in a lightning bolt.
The limousine, which ran fiercely along the road as it was, arrived at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.
There, I bought a ticket and got on a plane to Okinawa.
Thanks to the president, I rode first class for the first time in my life.
However, the question is whether it is necessary for a rich person like the chairman to use an airline’s plane, although it is usually a private plane that comes out at such a timing.
When I asked about this part, the president said absurdly.
“Aren’t you watching too many cartoons? Kim Yu-seong? No matter how conglomerate you are, you don’t drive a private plane for domestic travel.”
I kept my mouth shut as I ran out of words to say when I saw the president speaking as if it was common sense.
Why is this only normal in this area?
***
It took about 3 hours to get from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Okinawa Airport.
Even though it was a domestic flight, it took quite a while, but it feels different from going to Jeju Island.
There is also the influence of riding first class for the first time in my life.
When I said that I didn’t eat breakfast, the president sitting next to me ordered the in-flight meal myself.
“The dishes served here aren’t too bad. I’m so busy that I sometimes eat them on days I miss meals.”
Thanks to you, I was able to cut the steak in the morning.
The amount served was so small that I didn’t even get a message, but I endured it thinking about lunch.
Anyway, after the 3 hour flight, as soon as we arrived at Okinawa Airport, we got on the waiting sedan and moved to the port.
There was already a luxurious yacht moored at the pier, and it seems that they rode it to the island.
When I got out of the car with my luggage, the tall old man waiting in front of the yacht took off his sailor’s hat and bowed his head toward the president.
“It’s an honor to have you on this trip.”
“Long time no see. Captain.”
The chairman waved his hand as if he was familiar with it, and got on the yacht first.
“If you get seasick, tell me in advance. I’ve prepared the medicine for you.”
While saying that, the vice president offered a motion sickness medicine that was put under the ear and drinkable.
After thinking for a while, I decided to drink.
“Then we’ll be leaving now, so please get on board.”
Saying so, the old man headed for the cockpit.
When me, the vice president, and Minami got on the yacht, the captain turned the rudder without hesitation.
Boo woo woo!
The majestic sound of an electric motor echoes in your ears.
We boarded a white luxury yacht and headed to the height of the Jeolhae Sea.
