110 A relaxing day at the beach (2/2)
Responding to Hanako's command, maid-san mysteriously brought out a set of foldable table and chairs from nowhere and immediately set them up with great speed.
”...”
”Fufufu... This is going to be a great day. I can feel it!”
”You've prepared for this, haven't you?”
”Teehee!”
”...”
I literally have nothing to say to them anymore...
Ah... I give up...
”Now... Bring out the next thing!”
”Wait... there's more?”
Bowing slightly at Hanako's command, maid-san proceeded to bring out traditional Japanese sweets from something that seemed to be a cooler bag along with a few cups of tea and a vase filled with roses.
”Where did you even get that vase of roses from?!?!”
”A secret.”
”How?!?!”
”Because I'm a maid.”
”I don't think that your reasoning would suffice, though...”
”Stressing over such little details will make you age faster, Young master.”
Seeing that she does not intend to let me in on her secret, I decided to give up and just enjoy the sweets that she had just brought out.
”Whoa?!?! Where did you even get this?!?! It's extremely delicious!”
As I bit into the dango skewer, the taste of its sweetness instantly permeated throughout my mouth. Although it is indeed sweet, it is in perfect balance with the amount of flour, thus further amplifying the taste of the dango to the fullest.
”I'm glad that you like it Yuuji...”
”Thank you mai- eh? Did you just call me Yuuji?”
”You've probably misheard something, Young master.”
”...”
Now that was weird. I guess I'll have to look into this matter later on. But for now...
”Let's play beach volleyball Mio, Charlotte!”
””Un!!””
Let's just enjoy this trip to the fullest!
***********
In another corner of the island...
”*Huff**Huff* Only a few more kilometres...”
A young man can be seen jogging slowly along the road that leads to the beach.
Suddenly, there was some commotion behind him.
”You bastards! You'll never get the software!”
”Catch him! Don't let him get away!”
Haruto, who was minding his own business, looked behind him and saw a pack of gangsters chasing a rather cute but athletic girl who is holding a small bag in her arms.
”Meh. I'd better get out of here.”
Before he got the chance though, the girl noticed him and decided to run towards him.
”Oi! Don't come here!”
”As if I care! Now come with me!”, the girl shouted at him.
Just as he opened his mouth, the girl ran by him and dragged him into a nearby alley.
”Ah!!! Don't drag me into this mess!!!”
”The girl got a comrade! Request for more backup immediately!”
”Yes, sir!”
”What the f*** have you ever done to enrage them?!?!”
”Shut the hell up, decoy! Now come with me!”
”Did you just call me a decoy?!?!”
It seems that their peaceful days are going to end soon...
