After Meiling’s return home, who came and disappeared like the wind, the promised day has finally arrived.

August 8.

It was the day when summer vacation started and I was able to see my friends from school I hadn’t seen in a while.

***

We arranged our schedule through messenger in advance, so we decided to meet early in the morning on the day of our trip.

The meeting point is the Express Bus Terminal, and we plan to take a bus to our destination, Chiba.

I had packed my things the night before, so after jogging in the morning as usual, I came home and took a quick shower. I ate breakfast and told my mother.

“It’s two days and one night, so if you go this morning, you’ll be back tomorrow evening.”

“Yeah. Be careful when you go. Be careful with your car.”

“Yes, got it.”

I don’t know if anyone else had said it, but I felt something strange when my mother said it.

The reason why I became possessed by Kim Yoo-sung’s body was because the original Kim Yoo-seong had a serious car accident and became unconscious.

I told my mother again not to worry, and then held out an empty bowl of rice.

“It’s breakfast, want to eat more?”

“If you go today, you won’t be able to eat your mother’s food for a day. You have to eat a lot.”

“He’s getting older and he’s only lined up with fathers.”

But it didn’t look too bad for the mother who said that.

My mother, who took the bowl of rice that I brought out and piled it up, gave it to me again and said.

“Eat a lot, play a lot, then come back. Memories of school days are something you can’t buy even with money.”

“Yes!”

After answering vigorously, I was handed the bowl of rice my mother had offered me.

8:20 am.

I headed to the express bus terminal in Shinjuku at the promised time.

The originally promised time was 9 o’clock, but considering the travel time, he left the house 30 minutes earlier.

All the cooking utensils, clothes, and ingredients brought from home were in a travel backpack, so it looked quite full from the outside.

Anyone who sees it will look like an excited villager about going on a trip.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely wrong.

Because my house didn’t go on overseas trips as well as domestic trips.

This was due to the personal beliefs of the two parents, and even looking through Kim Yoo-sung’s old memories, it is said that, unless there was a special reason, the store opened almost every day.

A lot of people always come to my house to eat instead of home-cooked food, but I was worried that they would skip their meals if they closed the door even for a day.

Well, since you are so diligent, you must have owned your own house in Tokyo, which is famous for expensive land.

When I got off at Shinjuku Station on the Tokyo subway I was completely accustomed to, the street was full of people going out to drink despite the scorching heat of midsummer.

It always looks really complicated here.

I went up to the ground to avoid the crowds pouring out of the subway.

Now, the only thing left to do is to go to the Express Bus Terminal, but I don’t know if I came too early.

It was when I just got off the escalator with that thought.

“uh?”

Ryuji, the original protagonist of Scramble Love, and his childhood friend Yaguchi met in front of the station.

***

“Wow! Long time no see.”

Ryuji, who seems to have met for the first time in about two weeks since he went to his house on the day of the vacation, waved his hand as if he was happy.

I approached the two of them and greeted them.

“It’s been a while. Ryuji. And Yaguchi, thank you for lending me the place last week.”

“No, it was nice to be able to get Li Meiling’s autograph.”

Then, Ryuji, who was next to him, tilted his head and asked.

“What are you talking about?”

“Ah, last week, Kim came and played with world-famous female martial artist Li Meiling. He lent us our dojo for a while.”

“Hey? Did you play matchmaking?”

Then the alien ghost staring at me curiously from behind Ryuji.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but it didn’t seem like a good thing at all.

“It just happened because of things like that.”

“I’m sorry. I also wanted to see you fighting at least once.”

We talked like that and walked towards the express bus terminal.

Of course, the topic was related to Meiling, but it seems that Yaguchi is a big fan of Meiling.

Thanks to this, Ryuji, who had never known a person named Li Meiling, quickly learned who she was.

Ryuji said as I looked at the baseball with a slightly startled look.

“This guy has a temperament to run wild when it comes to topics he likes.”

Since you said they were childhood friends, it’s probably not the first time you’ve seen them like this.

His bitter smile was filled with emotions.

Anyway, that’s how we arrived at Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal.

And it was the class leader, not us, who came first to the express bus terminal, which was the meeting place.

“Come quickly.”

The class leader found us and pushed up the round glasses slightly.

We approached the class leader and asked.

“When did you come?”

Then the class leader glanced at the clock on the wall and said,

“About 20 minutes from now.”

It was 8:50, so it was said that he had arrived at 30.

“Why did you come out so quickly?”

“Since I’m the leader, I think there are a lot of things I need to sort out.”

As the class leader said so, he showed me a notebook full of plans for this trip.

This is the part where you can see how much effort she put into this trip.

“It’s a lot of trouble.”

“It’s not a big deal. Rather, it’s more difficult than the class work.”

After saying that, the class leader shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.

We also joined her and waited for the other members who had not come yet.

yet-

“Hello!~”

Rika.

“late?”

Karen.

“Aww! Breathtakingly safe!”

Satoru.

“Um. The main character appears at the end.”

All members arrived in the order of Sasha.

When all eight people gathered, the class leader looked around us and said as if vowing.

“It’s a short trip of 2 days and 1 night, but I hope that no one gets hurt and returns to this place safely. Then let’s go!”

Following the instructions of the class leader, we started to pick up our luggage and board the pre-booked express bus.

***

The distance from Tokyo to Chiba is quite close.

It’s because if you don’t go back on purpose like in the last forest school, you can get there in about an hour by taking the express bus.

Of course, arriving in Chiba didn’t solve everything, so we transferred from there to a regular bus to our destination, Onjuku Beach.

And after a long journey of about an hour and a half, we finally arrived in Paradise.

“It’s Umi!!”

Seeing the endless blue horizon stretching out in front of his eyes, Satoru exclaimed Lopko’s regular line with excitement.

It was an ocean that felt like my heart was being ripped open just by looking at it.

In my heart, I wanted to jump right into the sea and enjoy the summer, but unfortunately, we still had work to do.

“You can go over there for the guest house run by your cousin.”

We followed the guide of Yaguchi, an experienced Onjuku beach owner, one after another.

Satoru can’t contain his excitement when he sees the women in swimsuits and the house by the sea on the way.

“If I go to the sea, I’ll start hunting.”

Hearing what he said proudly, Ryuji and I, who were walking side by side, said with a trembling expression on their faces.

“Uh… stay strong.”

He said he would burn his summer youth in his own way, but he couldn’t stop it.

It took about 10 minutes on foot to arrive at a guesthouse near the beach.

Although it was smaller than I expected, it did not seem to have any inconvenience as it had everything one could have.

It was a place I would hardly ever come to except when I was sleeping in the first place.

“Of course, we have separate men’s and women’s rooms.”

Yaguchi, who had received the key to the room at the counter, said so and handed the key to Ryuji.

“What’s the next schedule for the female side? Are you going to the sea right away?”

Then the foreman nodded.

“I think it would be if nothing special happened. Are you the same?”

“This is Dong-Moon Lee. Maybe it’s because I ate a lot of snacks on the bus on the way home, but I’m not very hungry right now.”

“Then it’s decided. Let’s pack up properly and meet in front of the guesthouse in 30 minutes.”

“great.”

We were divided into two teams, men and women, and first went into the room to unpack.

***

Unlike women who need various preparations to go to the beach, men’s preparations are very quick and simple.

Put on a swimsuit and a T-shirt above and below, and apply some sunscreen on your face and forearms.

Real men don’t wear sunscreen?

I don’t know about that.

It’s still a scary impression, but if you take good care of your skin, shouldn’t there be an impressive plus?

Anyway, we were ready to go to the sea in no time, so we decided to go out and wait since we had nothing to do even if we were in the room.

It was when the three of them gathered together and chatted meaninglessly, such as which swimsuit would be the prettiest.

Finally, someone’s voice came from behind.

“Sorry! Have you been waiting long?”
