“Is that really something you say?”
“No, I mean, can’t you just accept it when I say I’m going to do it?”
“That sounds no different from you saying you’re going to kill yourself.”
“No, that’s just how it sounds. Reality is different.”
“Ha....”
Mika let out a sigh and looked at him with open contempt, while Mika’s killing intent made it feel like she might tear him apart on the spot.
“Hmm....”
“Haruta needs to think a little more about himself, too☆”
“No, I—”
Mika knocked Haruta on the head with the butt of her gun, then motioned to Nagisa.
“Ow, ow!”
“Nagisa, hand that over.”
“Yes, here you go, Mika.”
What was in Nagisa’s hands was a giant roll cake.
“Ah.... Mi—”
“Eat this!”
“Ghk!”
The roll cake in Mika’s hands rammed into Haruta’s throat.
“Kehk! Kkek! Khk!”
Mika punched the roll cake, forcibly shoving it down Haruta’s throat.
Nagisa watched that happen, brewed some black tea, then started peeling open another roll cake in her hands.
“Eat this too!”
“Stop!”
“Now Haruta has become even more precious to you?”
“I—”
-------------------------
30 minutes later
“Ghk!”
“And now?”
“I’m sorry... I won’t joke with my life again.”
“Good, that’s right.”
“Damn Trinity roll cake....”
“You just cursed inwardly, didn’t you?”
“No? I didn’t.”
“Ahaha☆ Nagisa?”
“Yes~ Just a moment.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Good.”
Only after listening to two hours of Mika and Nagisa’s lectures was he finally released.
“Wow... that was really gross. Worse than studying, honestly.”
Nagisa’s hand went to the roll cake at that remark.
“I’m really sorry. I won’t act up again.”
“Fufu, as expected, the effect is quite reliable.”
“No, but is there any other way besides the method I mentioned? Even if you helped me, wouldn’t you both become criminals too?”
“That’s something you can solve by changing your identity.”
“What, so I’m supposed to get hit by a TSTS beam or something?”
“Nothing like that. Just grow your hair out, or lose some muscle from your body, or something along those lines.”
“Ah, no, I can’t do without the muscles.”
“Then I suppose you’ll have to eat more roll cake.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Fufu, how obedient~”
“I’ll find a chance to get out of here someday.”
“If you’re thinking about running away right now, then when we catch you, we’ll make a mountain out of roll cake.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t act up again.”
Mika looked satisfied by that, and Haruta could only laugh.
“Hmm... for now, thinking about it won’t change anything, so how about you try getting used to school life first?”
“Well... not bad.”
“Of course. Trinity is one of Kivotos’s three great academies, and it has the reputation, talent, and facilities to match.”
“Oh, do you have a pool here?”
“Of course we do. But why the pool?”
“I was thinking of seein’ the girls in swimsui—”
Nagisa and Mika pulled out the roll cake.
“Sorry.”
“Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if you’ll get arrested for voyeurism one day.”
“So I’m telling you☆ Watch your mouth?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
It was clearly just a joke, but the air turned cold in real time.
-------------------------------------------------------
“How are you finding life in Trinity?”
“Wow, so here, as long as you have money, you can do anything?”
“Well, more or less. As long as it isn’t alcohol, cigarettes, or other prohibited items, you can enjoy almost anything.”
“I should go to the beach with Mika sometime.”
“Oh? That’s the first I’ve heard that Haruta is interested in travel.”
“No, I just mean Mika in a swimsuit—”
Something from Nagisa’s hand appeared before he knew it: a roll cake.
“Damn it.”
“Ghk!”
“I really think I’ll have to stuff your mouth shut before you calm down.”
“Ghk!... gulp.”
“Ah, right, sorry. But I think you’d look pretty in a swimsuit too—”
Seeing the roll cake appear silently, Haruta gave up.
“Sorry.”
“Hmm... but now that summer vacation is starting, I do think going somewhere to have fun is a wise choice.”
“Yeah, right. We’ve got five days, twelve hours, thirty-five minutes, and twenty-one seconds left of summer break.”
“When did you memorize something like that....”
“I use it to make time go by a little faster.”
“Haah....”
“So, do you know any beach around here that’s worth going to?”
“Yes. There’s a private beach resort on the outskirts of Trinity.”
“....I knew you were rich, but you’re on a whole different level.”
“Fufu, of course. I am the eldest daughter of the Kirifuji family.”
“....What?”
“? You didn’t know?”
“No... never mind.”
“Then, if you don’t mind, let’s play chess today too.”
--------------------------------------------------
10 minutes later
“Iiiik!!”
The piece Nagisa was holding crumbled in her hand.
“Ahahaha, Nagisa can be handled at the knight level.”
Nagisa showed him the roll cake.
“I’m sorry.”
“Hah.... I lost my composure for a moment.”
Nagisa said in a calm voice as she sipped her black tea.
-Bang-
“Haruta! Nagichan’s here!”
“You’re only arriving now?”
“Yep☆ Class ended late today☆”
“Ah, Mika, welcome.”
“Yep! Hi, Haruta!”
“Anyway, you know why we gathered here, right?”
“Yep☆ We’re going to spend 14 nights and 15 days at Nagisa’s private villa with the beach this summer vacation!”
“Correct. Haruta and Mika are both very precise when it comes to having fun.”
“Kukuku, I’m good at having fun.”
“Me too!”
“Haah... well, fine. I’ll enjoy myself this time too.”
“Oh, Nagisa, the swim—”
Mika’s gun butt struck Haruta’s head with perfect force.
“Ow!”
“Haruta needs to be hit a little more.”
“I agree.”
Nagisa took out the roll cake, and Mika raised the gun butt.
“I’m sorry.”
“Anyway, summer vacation is almost here now, so if there’s anything you need to prepare personally, please do so.”
“Yeah, I’ll post an announcement in our Momotalk chat.”
“Ah. Yes, that would be good.”
“Yep☆ Let’s meet up after we pack our things!”
-------------------------------------------------
5 days later
“Hah.... finally, Mika and Nagisa’s swim—”
-Smack-
Something slammed into Haruta’s head.
“Haruta, don’t make jokes like that!”
“No, I’m serious. Mika’s pretty too.”
Mika’s face reddened, and she smiled faintly.
“Hah, what a joke.”
As Mika’s expression slowly hardened, Haruta quickly corrected himself.
“Ah... no... our princess is the best... yes... yes.”
“Ahaha☆ So Haruta thinks that too?”
“But where’s Nagichan?”
“I don’t know either. What, is she really coming by limousine?”
The moment he finished speaking, a black luxury limousine pulled up in front of them.
“??? She really brought a limousine.”
Then the car door opened, and Nagisa gestured for them to get in.
----------------------------------------------------------
“Wow, this car is nicer than my dorm.”
“Nagichan☆ I’m telling you, I’m serious about this kind of thing.”
“Fufu, but if we’re finally going to have some fun after so long, shouldn’t we make it this nice?”
“Fair enough.”
“As for the details of our fun, I’ll explain those once we get to the beach.”
“Sure, sure. Do whatever you want.”
With the car moving along, Haruta, feeling a little bored, started singing.
(If you play “Let’s Go on a Trip” from here, it gets more fun!)
“To the echoing~ valley where the sound is heard~ searching for the water that flows~”
“? Haruta, what song is that?”
“Ah, nothing.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
They arrived at the beach, where sunlight glittered over the endless sand and blue sea, and changed into swimsuits.
“Yoo-hoo!”
“Have you traveled a lot, Haruta?”
“No, but you’ve got to get into the mood!”
Mika and Nagisa changed into their swimsuits the moment they got out of the car and ran straight into the sea.
“Miss? Are you sure this is all right?”
“Fufu, don’t worry. You can head back now, butler. Ah, and please remove everything except one bed from the villa.”
Nagisa smiled slowly.
“Hahaha!”
Mika loaded up a water gun and aimed it at Haruta.
“Think I’ll let you hit me?”
Haruta filled his own water gun and fired back.
“Hmph! Haruta should get hit too, quickly!”
“Nope? Nope?”
Mika bristled and punched the surface of the water.
-Boom-
“Wait, hold on.”
In an instant, a tsunami rose up and swallowed Haruta.
“Ghk!”
Nagisa watched that happen, then silently took out a water gun.
“Fufu, Haruta, please endure this too!”
When he turned his head at those words, Nagisa was standing there holding a water gun that looked expensive at a glance.
“Wai—”
-Pshaaah!
In an instant, an enormous blast of water pressure struck his face and sent Haruta sprawling.
“Pwah!”
“Nagichan?”
-Pshaaah!
It was summer.
