“Lady! Are you okay!”
It was probably Meguro-san, who was the general manager of the mansion on the island, not to have gotten off the cruise ship while shouting in an urgent voice.
He was startled when he found me standing next to the president, but then he coughed in vain and said to the president.
“I was worried because I lost contact after leaving the yacht yesterday. Fortunately, they sent a rescue signal in time and came to me right after dawn.”
“It’s all thanks to my servants, Minami and Shinji. They said they would go up to a high place and send a rescue signal.”
“Come to think of it, I can’t see the two of them.”
“I’ll probably be back soon. It was too late yesterday, so I guess I just slept in the mountains.”
“Girl hey hey hey!”
Even a tiger comes when I say it, and at an amazing timing, the vice-president was running from afar.
Of course, Minami was also next to him.
“Are you okay while I’m away! Where were you injured?!”
As the vice president put his face in as he said that, the president pushed his face back with a disgusted expression.
“I’m okay with Yooseong-kun protecting me. Were those two people okay?”
It was Minami who answered that.
“We were fine. There was a cave in the middle of the mountain.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case. You did a great job. Minami.”
“It was just something I had to do, of course.”

Meguro-san, who was watching the scene from the side, approached and said while the two master servants exchanged ceremonies.
“Come on, let’s talk about what we haven’t been able to talk about once we’ve gone home. You must be very tired from sleeping in an unfamiliar place, so I hastily hired a cruise ship.”
“Is that so?”
At Meguro-san’s suggestion, the president gave a welcome expression and turned to look at us.
“Then we’ll go back. Together.”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
With me and the vice president answering at the same time, the student council members’ short period of drifting came to an end.
***
“In the meantime, I’ve been indebted to you!”
“It was a short period of time, but it was an honor to have Mrs.”
“I was fortunate to have met a good person like Meguro-san.”
The student council’s special reinforcement training camp, which had been scheduled for 3 nights and 4 days in total, ended successfully today.
At first, I thought it was like strengthening the friendship, but after a while, it seems that a strong feeling has developed among the members of the student council as a whole.
In the meantime, if there is one thing that has become certain, it seems that I will no longer have to play in the sea this year.
Including the last time Group D members went to the beach to play, even on this island, we literally got tired of swimming in the sea.
The members of the student council, including myself, thanked the people of the mansion who took great care of us for 3 nights and 4 days, and then boarded the military-colored buggy.
He is the guy who has been our foot from day one.
“Now I say goodbye to this guy.”
When I said that and pounded on the car, Minami also fiddled with the steering wheel as if it was a pity that they broke up.
“I want to get a driver’s license quickly because I’m riding this.”
“You’re addicted to driving.”
At the point of the vice-president sitting in the passenger seat, Minami pouted her lips and said, “Isn’t it?”
Anyway, all the people riding this board got on, so we left the empty lot of the mansion as it was and set out for the wharf.
Boo woo woo!
The scenery of the island passing by quickly with a loud engine sound.
In the distance, I can hear the cicada crow hanging from the tree.
On the day I left like this, I felt something new.
It was unimaginable last year, but how could the environment around me change like this in just one year.
Compared to the overwhelmingly bleak days of school and graduate school in the past, life itself seemed to be shining brightly now.
‘Is this youth (靑春)?’
The season that was gray for some was blue for others.
The president, who, like me, was looking at the distant scenery of the island, suddenly turned his head and asked me.
“Is this trip a good memory?”
It was an unexpected question, but I answered it without hesitation.
“Yes. I think it will be a good memory.”
Summer, when the sweltering heat was at its peak, was slowly coming to an end.
***
Fourth Thursday in August.
It was raining all day yesterday, probably because of the late rainy season.

My mother complained that the laundry didn’t dry thanks to him, but I tried to pretend I didn’t see it and turned my head.
Because more than half of our laundry came out while I was exercising.
Anyway, it seems like the last day that summer vacation started at the end of July, but after experiencing some big events, summer vacation was coming to an end.
School started in two weeks right away, so I was in a hurry to do my homework for summer vacation.
If you don’t do it a little bit from now on, it’s because you’ve drawn a picture of what you’re doing on the eve of vacation in your head.
Anyway, from morning to evening, I stayed in my room and did my homework, so I got a headache.
First of all, it was not difficult to solve the problem because I was the senior in the grade, but the amount was the problem.
Even so, if you sit in front of a desk for hours and solve problems, your body aches.
“Who- I have to stop here for today.”
About halfway through my math homework, I closed the bookshelf and got up to stretch.
After sitting in front of the desk for almost half a day, I feel that my muscles are quite stiff.
I should go jogging before dinner.
Put the dumbbells you used while studying neatly on one side of the room, and change into light training clothes.
I was overusing my head, and thinking about overusing my body made me whistle on its own.
I stopped by the restaurant on the first floor for a while and told my parents not to look for them because they would come to work out, and then I followed the jogging course I always run for about 30 minutes.
When the brain, which had been lacking in oxygen because it was only in the room, met fresh oxygen, it felt like the fatigue had completely disappeared.
“I mean, I exercised for this taste.”
It’s always new and exciting.
After I finished my workout, I stopped by a convenience store on the way home and bought chicken breast as a snack.
Frozen chicken breasts that I eat all the time are not bad, but convenience store chicken breasts that I eat occasionally are also delicious.
Beep!
“Kim Yoo-seong, it’s been a while.”
“Fuma-senpai?”
At the familiar voice I heard from the checkout counter, I raised my head in amazement.
There, Fuuma-senpai, wearing a blue striped uniform typical of a Lawson convenience store, was standing in front of Posgi.
“I haven’t seen you at the gym for a while, what must have happened?”
Saying that, Fuuma-senpai handed me a chicken breast with a barcode on it.
“Are you working here this time?”
Then, Fuma-senpai nodded.
“The place where I used to work doesn’t come out very well.”
“…it’s a lot of trouble.”
For some reason it was too realistic, I had no choice but to look at it with pitying eyes.
“By the way, the answer to my question?”
“Oh, if that’s the case, it’s because I change the exercise time. Lately, I’ve been doing it mostly in the daytime rather than in the evening.”
“I see. I also thought I was avoiding it because it was too burdensome.”
“If I had asked the director or Kazu, would he have told him sooner?”
“I don’t like them. They’ll make fun of you right away if you ask me.”
“…ah.”
There is certainly no such tendency.
Because both of them are more interested in other people’s relationships than their own.
“More than that, a child named Ryuji came to the cafe a while ago, is it true that you introduced me?”
“Oh, yes. Are you here?”
“They gave me your name and asked me to tell you about the world behind me. At first, I tried to say good things and send you back, but my sister showed interest, saying that it seems like a powerful guardian spirit is attached to me.”
“genius?”
Are you talking about that Egyptian ghost, Mahesh?
“It was said that he was a spirit with a level of power that is rare in modern times. I heard that he even talked to him directly.”
“You don’t seem to know the details?”
“I came on a weekday, so I wasn’t there at that time. I’m part-timer on the weekend.”
Surely, if that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it.
When I nodded and asked to warm the lightly wrapped chicken breast in the microwave, Fuuma-senpai narrowed his forehead as if it was bothersome, but faithfully handed the chicken breast again.
“By the way, Kim Yoo-sung, the vacation is coming to an end, so when are you planning to go to our village?”
I stopped putting my wallet in.
“ah.”
“Are you sure you forgot your promise?”
“No, he… I’ve been busy lately, so I’m not sure…”
Somehow, the more he talks, the more Fuma-senpai’s eyes become sharper.
In the end, I gave up my excuses.
“I’m sorry. To be honest, I forgot.”
“Ha… Really…”
Fuuma-senpai shook his head as if in pain, and said while holding the warmed chicken breast in his hand.
“Then they said that the horns were also sweet, how about this weekend? I think I can get rid of a part-time job in a day or two.”
“This weekend?”
I shook my head momentarily.
Fortunately, nothing was scheduled.
“I think it’s possible.”
Only then, Fuuma-senpai, who had made an impression, handed over the chicken breast he was holding in his hand and said.
“If I had said no, I would have taken this hostage.”
To hold a protein hostage in front of someone who has just finished exercising, what an evil idea.
I realized once again that Fuuma-senpai was a ninja without blood or tears.
