On a luxury yacht owned by the president, after running for about 30 minutes in the sea, we arrived at a large island.
It was originally an uninhabited island, but it seems that the chairman’s grandfather bought it as a present for the chairman’s 10th birthday.
Should it be called a chaebol family, the scale of the gift was different.
Before long, our white luxury yacht boasting a streamlined hull settled at the pier on the front of the island.
After the boat comes to a complete stop, grab the luggage you brought from the house and jump over the pier.
The pier made out of stone was crude but hard, and it made me realize that I was definitely stepping on land.
“It’s beautiful.”
When I saw the panoramic view of the island spread out in front of me, I was involuntarily admiring it.
A crescent-shaped bay and a sea of water made up of broadleaf trees that have grown full of islands.
And even the Western-style mansion seen over the cliff in the distance.
The vice president, who was standing next to him, said with a proud expression as if he had been praised.
“Of course. The people who decorated this place are all the people of the Akagi family.”
“It was quite difficult to develop an uninhabited island that was nothing more than a wasteland.”
Seeing that even Minami, who doesn’t say that it was hard to do hard work, secretly brags about it, it seems that a huge amount of manpower was mobilized to create the environment of the island.
“Then, let’s go to the mansion.”
“yes.”

Minami politely bowed her back and then directed something to the radio from the pants dance.
Then a four-seater buggy with a roof ran from afar.
“Is that?”
“Since the island is so large, we basically use a vehicle to move around the island.”
“But there’s no one in the driver’s seat.”
“It’s equipped with autonomous driving capabilities.”
profit!
The buggy that stopped right in front of us opened the door automatically.
“You can put your luggage in the basket at the back.”

Minami said so and sat down in the driver’s seat of the buggy.
The vice president naturally sits in the passenger seat and the president sits in the back seat.
I looked at it and asked in amazement.
“Minami, you don’t have a license.”
Then Minami answered without expression.
“This is extraterritorial jurisdiction.”
“No, I don’t think that’s the problem.”
When I tackled Minami, who proudly declares that she will become an unlicensed driver, the vice president next to him said:
“Kim Yu-seong, you must have had experience riding a bumper car at an amusement park. The driving difficulty of this car is just that.
“Come on, get on. You don’t plan on walking all day by yourself, do you?”
“No… ha, I see.”
If I had to point out more here, I realized that it was just taking my power away, so I calmly boarded the back seat of the buggy.
“By the way, isn’t that person going?”
When I pointed to the old man in the white robe still on the yacht, the president covered his mouth with the fan he always carried, and said:
“If you’re the captain, we’ll go ashore first, then come back here to pick us up in three days.”
In other words, according to the president’s words, we could not escape from this island for the next three days.
A four-person buggy that takes a leisurely drive along the open hill road.
As if grunting, I fell into the surrounding landscape without realizing it.
When you live in a city, you tend to forget this natural beauty.
I felt it when I went to Mt. Fuji before, but when I saw these things, I felt like a human being in front of the enormity of nature.
So, starting from the marina, the buggy, which ran for about 20 minutes, finally stopped in front of the Western-style mansion built on the cliff.
A high iron fence was erected around the mansion, probably to prevent wild animals from the island from invading the mansion.
And at the entrance of the mansion stood two middle-aged men and two women in maid clothes.
As we got off the buggy, the middle-aged man standing on the porch bowed his head deeply.
“Welcome. Miss.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Meguro-san.”
The man who was called Meguro by the president said with an expression of excitement.
“You remember my name.”
Then the chairman covered his mouth with the black fan he always carried around and said oh ho ho ho ho! and laughed.
“I never forget the names of the people who work for me.”
“It’s really an honor to memorize the name of a lowly dwarf.”
Saying that, the middle-aged man bowed deeply once more and introduced the two men standing behind him.
“These are the twin maids Miyabi and Shinobu, who are working under me. Not only the young lady, but also the members of the party, if you need anything during your stay in the mansion, please feel free to call me.”
“This is my older sister Miyabi.”
“I’m Shinobu, my younger brother.”
Whether the two are identical twins, the facial features are completely similar except for the hairstyle.
In fact, I was just called a maid because I was wearing a maid uniform, but in reality, it would be correct to call me a user.
Anyway, both of them looked startled when our eyes met, but they returned to their poker faces and maintained a business-like attitude.
“Then let’s go inside. We prepared lunch in advance at the restaurant in time for your arrival.”
“Oh my, do you have a good sense?”
“Fufu, this is the basics.”

Meguro-san said so, smiling happily, then took the lead and led us to the restaurant inside the mansion.
***
Inside the restaurant, there was a long table that you can only see in Western movies, but since the villa itself was built as a Western-style building, it did not feel uncomfortable.
“You’re going to be in the market because you’ve come a long way in the morning, but I’ll guide you to your room after lunch.”
“Thank you for your consideration. Meguro-san.”
The chairman showed the girl mode after a long time, and sat down at the top of the table.
And me, the vice president, and Minami sat down next to him.
While everything was western-style, the meal was served plain Japanese.
It felt quite unbalanced, and when I asked the reason, the answer came back that the president prepared this way because he likes Japanese food.
“Isn’t it to your taste? Would you like to ask the chef for another dish?”
“No. Not to that extent. I guess it was because it was a little different from what I had imagined.”
I didn’t know you’d eat salmon buttery, white rice, and mushroom miso soup at a place like this.
And Meguro-san’s face turned red when he heard my answer.
“I’m glad. The food is completely tailored to the taste of the lady, so I was wondering what to do if it doesn’t suit the taste of the customer.”
“I like home-cooked food. To be honest, I’m sure there are very few people who don’t like it?”
Having said that, I ate the richly colored curry that came out separately from the side dish with rice, and ate it in a mouthful, and it felt like a heavenly taste.
This house’s food is no joke.
“Then, I’ll eat well.”
“Yes. If there is something lacking, please let me know. I will refill it right away.”
So the four of us had lunch.
***
It took about an hour to finish lunch.
You could say I ate it for so long, but that’s because it includes the time for dessert and tea after meals.
After replenishing my energy, I was assigned a room where I would stay for three days.
It was the room next to the best president’s room in this mansion, and to be honest, it was so luxurious that I wondered if I could use it.
Just a week ago, when you think of men sleeping together in a tatami room in a guest house, it is literally a good thing.
Well, sleeping with friends in a small room has its own charm, though.
When I got out of the room after unpacking my luggage, I ran into Minami in the hallway, who occupied the room right next to the president as I was a user.
“The president?”
“You’re changing into your outdoor clothes in your room. Do you want to peek?”
“no.”
When I cut it with a single knife, Minami said sorry and took out the radio.
“Then why are you using the walkie-talkie with your phone?”
“Ah, there are no base stations or transmission towers here, so cell phones don’t work well. It’s not that the internet doesn’t work at all, but it’s faster to use a walkie-talkie for simple communication.”
“Hmm.”
If it’s not because of my mood, it feels like flags have been piling up tremendously since before.
‘I’m sure it’s not.’
I asked Minami, dismissing it as a coincidence.
“By the way, what are you planning to do on this island specifically? It’s a special training camp for the student council, so to be honest, I can’t quite get a sense of it.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
From https://noblemtl.com
Minami was about to say something as if she remembered it too late, but then suddenly shut her mouth.
“what’s the matter?”
“No, it’s nothing. I don’t think it would be very fun to do spoilers from the beginning.”
“Then tell me just the first part.”
Then, Minami hesitated a little, and answered with a small sigh.
“For now, we’ll play on the beach.”
All the student councils are in swimsuits.
