Chapter 24

(A/N notes: Hey you. Yes, you! Wanna hear something interesting? If you want to, then read this chapter until you reach my notes at the end)

It was the middle of summer vacations (around the 10th to 23rd of August by the 2020 calendar), the sun was at its highest and it was hot, very hot... In various ways

"There's a lot of people"

"Well, that's to be expected, since it's summer and the weather is going to be clear for this entire week"

Aki and Ayano were talking as they waited for Yuriko who was properly packing everything they might need on a handbag and changing into her swimsuit since she was the most organized one from the trio, Aki was wearing a black two-piece swimsuit, while Ayano was wearing a red frilly two-piece swimsuit, underneath their T-shirts and shorts

"... Are we taking advantage of Yuriko right now?"

"Yes, but at the same time, we don't want to suffer from the same mistakes in both times we three came here"

"Yeah, that's true"

To put it simply, Aki and Ayano forgot to pack some of their most necessary stuff, and Yuriko had to cover for everyone with her own stuff, in both times they went to the beach by themselves

"Sorry for the wait, are you two ready to go?"

" "..." "

Yuriko came out of their inn room and met the two at the reception, she was wearing a large parka and small shorts, making it appear that she was only wearing the parka at first glance, and she was also wearing sunglasses (A/N Notes: Why small shorts and not mini-shorts? Because when I googled it, the image of mini-shorts mostly appeared to be underwears made of jeans. While the small shorts, looked more like shorts, but smaller)

"Hm? What's wrong? Why're you two so quiet?"

"Nothing, it's just... How can you wear that parka in this heat?"

"Yeah, we're both feeling hot just from wearing shirts and shorts when we went outside"

"Hmmm... I just don't feel that hot"

" "PLEASE SHARE THAT POWER WITH US!!!" "

Yuriko had a very strong resistance to both the heat and the cold. And with their small talk over they all went to the beach under the summer heat

2 Minutes later

*Opens the car door* "Gah! So! Hot!... Whew... Good thing we left home after Dad and Hideo-nii broke the AC"

"Yeah... You're right... Arf... So hot! Why god!"

Takeru and Akari both left the refreshing AC of a cab only to be received by the dreaded heat of summer, something they were both weak against, and they were also weak to the cold of winter

They got their luggage out of the car trunk, and paid the driver, Akari paid it that is, and they entered their uncle's new inn and were revived by the building's AC, then after standing under the wind made by the AC for some seconds, they went inside the reception

"So what do we do now?"

"I already messaged uncle that we arrived, he said he's coming to take us to our rooms"

"Oh, he really likes you, huh?"

"It's because I'm the youngest of the family"

And after a little while, Uncle Eiichi appeared

"If it isn't Takkun and Akachan! How have you two been?"

"Dad and Hideo-nii broke the AC back home"

" "..." "

Takeru lacked a lot of tact most of the time

"So I guess, you two haven't been so great now that summer is at its highest, huh?"

" "Yeah..." "

"Anyway! Let me show you two my new inn!"

And their uncle showed them the place and took them to their rooms at the end

"Here are your cards, and since you two are special guests of mine, all services are free for you two"

"Thanks"

"YAS!!!"

"See you two later"

" "See ya" "

Then Takeru and Akari entered their respective rooms, Takeru left his luggage at some spot and fell face down on the double futon, and rolled to the cold floor as he turned on the AC and the TV

Back at the reception

"How can I help you today, dear customer?"

"The name's Yamada, and what's yours, sweetie?"

"Yamada who?"

"Hoh! Do you already want to pass that line with me? Very well, I will grant you that, the name is Suzuki Yamada"

"Suzuki... Yamada... Found a booking for one room for five people, is this your room?"

"Yes, thank you. Here's my number, call me whenever you feel like"

The receptionist gave him five cards so that everyone could enter the room, and he trying to hit on her gave her his phone number

"Thank you"

Yamada then went back to Daichi and co and went to their room, and when they left the reception

"... Haa... *crumbles and throws the paper Yamada gave her in the trash bin*"

After following the room numbers, the man only gang reached their booked room and before entering it...

"Okay, everyone. From this point on we'll act like the adults we're, so no stupid games, no stupid fights, and act cool in front of the girls!"

" " "Yeah!!!" " "

"Yay?"

All the guys aside from Daichi were hyped up at getting a girlfriend during their stay at the beach

"Alright, then let's enter our room, put on our shorts and go to the beach and try to pick up some girls"

" " "Yeah" " " (suggestive tone)

"Sure..."

And Yamada opened the door and they went inside and in there, they found 3 single futons and 1 double futon

" " " " "..." " " " "

"That single one is mine!"

"No, it's mine!"

"Oh no! It isn't!"

"I'll get to sleep on the single one"

"No, I will!!!"

The five idiots began fighting on who would sleep in the single futons and after minutes of useless fighting, they decided to settle down like men, with a jokenpo match... Yamada and Daichi had to share the double futon

At the reception during the fight

"Hmmm!... H, hmmm!... Hmmmmm!..."

"Okay, let me do it for you Himari-chan"

Himari's friend her friend's friends, and even the receptionist, couldn't keep watching Himari struggling to talk with the receptionist anymore, so she decided to do the talking instead of Himari, and managed to get the cards for their room quickly

They all went to the family room they had booked, and right after they entered and closed the door of their room...

"Just watch, I'll definitely get a girlfriend by the end of today"

"Heh! Go dreaming man!"

"If you can get one, I can definitely get two"

"As if! I'm the one who'll be definitely be getting a girlfriend!"

"*Sigh*"

"Aw... C'mon man, get over that already, Prez. Nanami-san is not the only beautiful girl out there. I'm sure you'll find another girl to reject you"

"Hey!"

"Ha!"

"That's it! I'll show you four how to actually get a girl!"

"Hoh? You dare to challenge us, the four horsemen of failure womanizers?"

"Because I can't make you all see how idiots you're without daring you all!"

"Then dares us as much as you like"

And then the five horsemen of stupidity set on on their losing quest of getting a girlfriend
