Volume 2 - Chapter 27: Summer Training Camp 2The five club members lined up side by side and headed through the ticket gate.
"We"re finally back..."
Kyouya had reached his limit after pa.s.sing through the gates. He dropped his bags and collapsed into a sitting position on the ground.
Kyouya breathed in the midsummer night air. Though it was already quite a familiar scent to him, it made him truly feel like he was back in the city.
It was an extremely tiring camp, spanning 6 days and 5 nights, and it had finally come to an end.
"d.a.m.n, it"s over already?"
"You sure don"t sound tired, Prez..."
Kyouya was stunned to see that the president still wanted to play around some more.
After only riding local non-express trains for 12 hours straight, Kyouya couldn"t have possibly imagined that the training camp would be taking place in a location like that...
"We can still use this special youth ticket until the end of today, so let"s go somewhere else. How about Shinjuku?"
The special youth ticket the president was talking about was a one day pa.s.s that was limited to local trains. They had taken the same route back, another 12 hour ride, so Kyouya really didn"t want to ride any more trains for a while, but the president seemed to be eager for another round.
"Prez, you"re way too enthusiastic."
Kyouya sighed, not having the strength to even stand.
"My b.u.t.t hurts. I want to go home and sleep." was all Kyouya could think.
"Yes, that"s right. We"ll be ok, don"t worry. Onee-chan"s here too, and it"s not just us girls, we have a guy with us too. Alright, see you there then. Bye!"
Megumi-chan finished her conversation with whoever she was talking to and put away her phone into her bag with one hand while giving a thumbs up with the other.
"We"re all set, Onee-chan. We can stay out till the next morning. I"ve arranged for Mori-san to come pick us up."
Megumi-chan was full of energy as well.
"Good job, Megu! Let"s get going then!"
"You"re not even going to ask how I feel about this, huh?"
"But we should probably eat first. Come on, Kyoro, stand up. Let"s go to our usual spot."
"You"re not even listening to me in the first place!"
Kyouya gave up and rose to his feet. The huge piece of luggage he had dropped on the ground earlier had been carried away by Kirara-san, so he had no choice but to follow.
He walked with everyone to the usual ramen shop near the station.
"Sorry about that, Kyoro-kun. It was my idea to keep the location secret as a surprise."
"Yeah, I was surprised all right. I couldn"t imagine that we would end up somewhere like that after that 12 hour train ride and then on the way back take the same 12 hour train ride again."
Really, Kyouya couldn"t have guessed where they were going in a million years.
"Oh yeah, you were talking about vacation villas and stuff with sparkles in your eyes."
"I don"t know about the sparkles in my eyes, but I was definitely looking forward to it."
"But vacation villas are so boring. There"s nothing interesting around them anyway."
"Vacation homes are just relics from an era without air conditioning."
"Yeah, yeah. You bourgeoisie may feel that way, but I am but a common man."
"But ours is really nice. It"s got that huge pool!"
Kyouya jumped a little at Megumi-chan"s words.
He couldn"t help but think of everyone"s swimsuit figures. The slender and elegant Shion-san, the stylish and glam Kirara-san, and of course, you couldn"t tell normally tell with her clothes covering, but Megumi-chan"s huge...
"Fine, fine, we"ll go to the villa next year. And the beach. Actually, let"s just go now, how about we just extend the camp for another 5 days?"
"Please spare me."
Kyouya sighed.
"It was fun, right? Exciting, right?"
"Well you"re not wrong about the exciting part. The fear of getting caught at any moment kept me on edge all the time."
The place they held the camp was an off limits area.
"Right? I didn"t think we"d catch a thief though."
"Kirara. Caught the thief."
Kirara-san stuck out her chest proudly.
During the camp, a thief appeared on the property, which everyone pitched in to help catch, the bulk of the work being done by Kirara-san.
"Good thing the thief came back a second time, or else we were gonna get blamed for it."
When they were discovered trespa.s.sing, they were chewed out and also under suspicion for stealing, but after catching the real culprit, the trespa.s.sing was forgiven.
"So? You had fun, right?"
"Yeah. I had fun."
Kyouya replied.
Kyouya continued to walk towards their usual store, on their usual path, all the while reminiscing about that incredibly tiring, incredibly fun summer camp.
