Act 2 - Summer Break
15-3
"It was a miss on both of our parts, so which of us can start over again?" (Mia)
"Well, that's fine, isn't it? As long as both parties agree." (Rei)
"I see. Rei, which would you prefer?" (Mia)
Mia and Rei each discuss it, and finally it is decided that Mia will take it.
Mia plays with the ball in her hand, and then she takes her turn to look at each of our faces.
"Well, there wasn't a rule against spiking the ball on the restart, was there?" (Mia)
"You...... you don't mean." (Rintaro)
"Now I can slam the ball into any opponent, does each of you have a plead for your life?" (Mia)
She smiles a black smile at us and we take a step back, rubbing the sand in front of her.
If she hits from the front, Rei and Kanon can handle it, but I can't.
In other words, I am the only one who needs to be off of her target at all costs.
"I-I found a blue gemstone necklace that I thought would look good on Mia at the station....... I might give it to her as a gift next time....... ehehehe." (Kanon)
"Hmmm, I see." (Mia)
Mia is grinning and listening to Kanon's plea.
By now, Rei, standing next to her, had a look of regret on her face.
"I understand what Kanon is offering. Then how about Rei?" (Mia)
"......Let-let's go eat...... spicy food together." (Rei)
"Oh! You've always been so stubborn about not following me when I told you I was interested in it...... Great, you're a great life pleader." (Mia)
Spicy food, eh?
I will cook as many of those as she wants――――and yes, let's go with this.
"Then, lastly, Rintaro-kun. Do you have any last words?" (Mia)
"......I'm going to cook for you for a week, apart from Rei." (Rintaro)
"――――I see, I see I see! Yep, it's decided." (Mia)
Mia tosses the ball high.
Gaining momentum with her arms, she takes a strong leap forward and raises her arms.
"I'm going for...... you!" (Mia)
A spike that is second to neither Rei's nor Kanon's is released.
The ball is headed for――――Kanon.
"Why me!?" (Kanon)
"Sorry Kanon, but I have bought that necklace for myself♪." (Mia)
"Idioooooooot! Ugh!" (Kanon)
Unfortunately, Kanon's receive is barely in time and the ball is bounced in the wrong direction.
The direction of ball seems to be flying toward me, but with this momentum, it should be out.
Convinced of victory, I stop in my tracks.
But then a tragedy occurs.
A strong wind blows onto the beach.
The ball, which is bigger and softer than the ones used in volleyball, is pushed by the force of the wind and rapidly slowed down.
As a result, the ball, which is supposed to go out, shifted its landing spot into the circle.
(This is not good――――!)
I am the closest to the ball.
If the ball continues to fall, it will be my miss. I have to prevent that at all costs.
"Make iiiiiit!" (Rintaro)
With a shout, I reach out with my foot.
My foot, sliding under the ball, bounces it up with a solid impact.
(I made it!)
But that is the end of my heroics.
The ball is still rotating strongly because Kanon failed to properly kill the rotation of the ball.
The ball leaves my foot and does not fly inward, but falls on the sand outside of the circle.
"I――――I did it, I did it! Don't underestimate my luck, okay!" (Kanon)
"N-no way......." (Rintaro)
I am just stunned as the ball rolls in front of me.
I know that I lost.
Then someone taps me on the shoulder.
"Rintaro-kun, you lost." (Mia)
"......you don't have to tell me that." (Rintaro)
"Now, what should I ask you for?" (Mia)
Mia and Kanon are smirking at me as I stand up.
Rei is not that blatant, but her hands are clearly in a triumphant pose. Apparently, not a single one of them is on my side.
"......O dear princesses, please state your wishes." (Rintaro)
"Dear princesses, you say, what a pleasant thing to hear. Hmmm, what should we do, girls." (Mia)
Won't it make their wishes a little bit easier if I treat them like princesses?
The girls, who have no way of knowing what is going on in my mind, begin to secretly discuss the matter in front of me.
Maybe I should run away. Though, I'm sure I'll get caught before then.
"I....... prefer not to do it now. I want to save it for later." (Rei)
"Oh, you're okay with that, too, right? Rintaro-kun." (Mia)
That's what I'm afraid of not being ordered right now, but――――I have an image that Rei is going to make the safest request.
If it can be put off, that might help.
"I don't mind. It would be even better if you could just forget about your right." (Rintaro)
"No, I won't. I'll remember it forever." (Rei)
"......Is so?" (Rintaro)
If Rei says she'll remember it, she'll really remember it forever.
"If you don't mind with that, I'll do so too, then. I can't think of anything in particular for now." (Kanon)
"...... You're right, I'll go with that too." (Mia)
In the end, no one give me any orders.
But the fact that they are all put off their orders means that I have to be on my toes at all times――――.
"For God's sake, be easy on me, will you?" (Rintaro)
"I'll do my best." (Rei)
"I'll do my best." (Kanon)
"I should do my best, I guess." (Mia)
Aah, this might be a bad idea.
◇◆◇
The devil's game in beach volleyball skin was over, and we were peacefully enjoying the ocean from then on.
We swam around, tried our hand at building a castle out of the sand, buried Kanon in the sand we collected when we couldn't make it in the end, let Kanon break a watermelon that the staff had apparently prepared for her, and let Kanon bat around in circles in the process.
By the time the sun was setting, the three energetic idiots looked exhausted, and we returned to the cottage.
Of course, there is no way that the girls are tired while I am not, and to be honest, I feel so tired that I don't want to move even one inch.
But there is still something I have to do.
"Rascals! It's barbecue time!" (Rintaro)
"Oh! I've been waiting for it!" (Rei)
Leaving aside a retort of "we are not rascals", the four of us are working together to carry the ingredients to the cooking area outside the cottage.
The meats, including sausages and other such items, are not cheap, but are all well-processed products. Grilling them over a charcoal fire must be delicious.
"Rintaro, grill me a lot of meat." (Rei)
"Hold on, hold on. We haven't even started the fire yet." (Rintaro)
I suppress Rei's urging and prepare charcoals and an igniter.
The actuality is that I've never done the work of lighting a charcoal fire outside like this, so I've been secretly longing to do this.
With my heart racing, and following the fire-starting manual in the cottage, I start to light the fire. It is my first time doing this, so I struggle with it for a while. When I finally succeeded in lighting a decent charcoal fire, I feel a sense of accomplishment run through my entire body.
"Rintaro, you have a face of a boy." (Rei)
"Huh? That's because...... I'm a boy." (Rintaro)
"Mmm, that's not what I meant, but ...... it's hard to explain." (Rei)
What does she mean? Well, she doesn't know herself, so how could I know that?
"Sorry to keep you waiting." (Rintaro)
"No problem. I wasn't bored when I saw Rintaro-kun's excited face." (Mia)
"What's up with you girls...... all you do is talk about my face." (Rintaro)
Did I look that weird?
Well, whatever, right now I need to grill some meat for the wait.
