Volume 3 – Yurinist1 On Board
Chapter 1 – The Beginning of Cruise Trip
The scale of the orientation camp at an elite all-girls school is different from that of a normal school. After all, it is a three-day trip by 『Queen’s Watch』, a cruise owned by Otori Magic Academy.
As a result of the cruise examination that I conducted with Snow yesterday, we found that the cruise is divided into four classes. Public ship (Masses), special ship (Premium), high-end ship (Luxury), and super high-end ship (Boutique). And Queen’s Watch is classified as a boutique.
As you can guess from the name, the ship for the masses is the lowest rank ship and the super high-end ship is the highest (There are things that cannot be said definitely).
The onboard facilities are astonishingly top-notch. The cabin is like a luxurious hotel, and there are several restaurants that serve Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine. There is even a bar even though this cruise was made for students (they also served alcoholic beverages for teachers). Adding to that, there are also professional staff and crews who will fulfill those Ojou-sama selfishness on standby in the lounge.
Not only that, on board, there are fitness clubs, spas, various shops in beauty salons, dance floors in playrooms, doctors and nurses in the medical office who will treat you 24/7, and even a pool and a surf simulator are also permanently installed there.
Looking at the service content of Queen Watch distributed by Marina-sensei, a tone of admiration subconsciously leaked from my mouth, saying 『This precisely is a moving service fortress』, and Snow also said, 『I hope it gets cut in half from the center.』
For me and Snow, it is a luxurious cruise that is so unfamiliar that it made our jaws come off. But apparently, for those Ojou-sama in the academy, this luxurious cruise is on a level of 『I’m tired of riding this kind of thing』, and seeing my excited look, they just showed a bored look while yawning, seemingly thinking 『Yes yes, it’s a luxurious cruise.』.
Basically, most of the time on this cruise trip will be spent on the sea. For that reason, inboard programs such as events and shows are announced in advance, so other than getting off at the port for calling and sightseeing, we basically can just enjoy the entertainment provided onboard.
Even if you get tired of it, the purpose of this orientation camp is to interact with other students. Therefore, every freshman from A class to E class will be on the same cruise. This is to make the freshman communicate with each other regardless of class.
That being said, events are held within our own class, and activities usually done in our own groups. Even at the port, we still have to act in groups, but there is no particular restriction other than that. In short, there is so much freedom that there is no problem even if you don’t get off at the port.
However, a mini console is attached to our magic devices, so the teacher can always monitor our current location. The teachers will always be staring at the window screen, so that if there is an idiot who made a mistake, they can go immediately to deal with it.
What a poor girl… Marina-sensei will probably have a stomach ache if that happens….
At any rate, as a matter of fact, this orientation camp will not end just like that. And I know what will happen later since I played the game.
Although I’ve made up my mind, I don’t think Tsukiori can’t handle it, so I don’t think there is a need for me to appear here. Thus, I will devote myself to observing and cheering for the Yuri that the MC and the heroines will create. Because if nothing wrong happened, the distance between Tsukiori and the heroines will definitely become much closer thanks to this event. That is why this training camp can be a turning point for the MC.
I have to hold my breath. I will erase my presence and enjoy this cruise trip. The only task I have to clear is to buy souvenirs for Master, Snow, Mulle, and Lily-san.
Having made up my mind again, I sat in the waiting seat. Currently, we are at the 『Tokyo International Cruise Terminal』. In about ten minutes, we will board the Queen Watch, but… to be honest, I’m so damn sleepy.
“…”
You can’t blame me on this. This is my first time riding a luxurious cruise, you know!! I’m so damn nervous!! Or rather, I’m so excited!! I was so restless that Snow told me 『Please go to the bathroom quickly.』 last night!!
“…”
What should I do if I get seasick… I’m worried… Although the valet said we are free to board, we have to bear various expenses by ourselves… Maybe I should have brought Snow even with forcible means… She is somehow quite thoughtful, after all…
A spacious two-story waiting space was prepared from the entrance hall made entirely of glass. And in this space waiting room, I can see the figures of many Ojou-sama waiting to board the cruise. But of course, there is no one around me, who is a man–
“Hiiro-kun,”
"
"
Yet, Tsukiori in her uniform crossed her legs and smiled at me.
“Are you sick? Are you okay? Do you want gum?”
“…”
For some reason, this MC-sama is sitting next to me, ignoring the heroines.
But well, that’s probably because we are from the same group… I hope she can learn from Ojou who disappeared somewhere saying, 『Being in the close vicinity with a man make me disgusted!』.
“Onii-sama, please have tea.”
“….”
As if it was natural, the young lady of the Sanjou Family, my sister, Rei, who was accompanied by her servant, handed over a cup of tea to me.
Why is this girl taking care of me with a natural face even though she isn’t in the same group as me? She even quickly asked me which event I’m going to participate in and sent her servant to buy anti-travel sickness medicine for me.
“Hiiro! Hiiro, I want to enter the pool!”
“…”
Lapis yo, is entering the pool together with me considered as the “follow” that you said to me the other day?
When I turned my gaze to Lapis, she nodded as if she realized something.
“I know! Because I’ve put a red line on the event I want to participate in!”
Dear God of Yuri… Can you hear me? Right now, I’m talking directly to your heart… Die…
“…”
Despaired, I stood on the spot.
Lapis is no good…. She forgot her mission because her heart is dominated by excitement… She’s probably excited to be able to stay over with her friends… what a cute one… (crying)
For the time being, I decided to keep them in check.
“….”
I silently stand up and call Snow.
“Hello, help me (Straight to the point).”
『Eh… already…? Isn’t it too fast…? For the time being, you have used a lovey-dovey shot with me as your phone screen, right…? What happened to the plan to show that screen…?』
“They ignored it (3 losses, 0 wins)”
『Ee….』
“For now, I want to add more jabs in the second plan. Go show them the speed of your left jab. I can’t shake my fist anymore. Yes, I can’t shake it, but it’s trembling.”
『Understood. Please switch to the speaker』
Like that, I started talking to Snow with the speaker on.
“Hello, honey. I’m about to arrive in termi–”
『I got a call from Rei-sama, so I’ll hang up. Please do your best, my beloved darling. Goodbye (fast-talking)』
Tut tut tut.
As she hung up the call, I stared at the screen in a daze.
Haeee, she’s useless~ ^_^
“I-I’m sorry, Onii-sama… for interrupting you… Because even though it’s about to be boarding time… you didn’t respond to me when I was talking to you for a while… I already apologized to Snow… Ano, I really didn’t mean to interrupt you two…”
“I know, I believe you. I also got an incoming call, and the speed of Snow when she betrayed me just exceeded the speed of sound.”
Sighing, I decided to do a frontal attack.
“Lapis, Rei, aren’t you from a different group? I do not deny that I enjoy being together, but the basis of this orientation camp is group action. If you both act as you like, the other member of your group will be pitiful.”
Hearing that, Rei and Lapis seemed to want to argue, but couldn’t find the words to say. Then, both of them hang their heads down, feeling despondent.
“Understood… I’ll return to them once…”
“Hiiro, sorry, ano, I know my position, don’t worry. Sorry…”
“I’m very happy that both of you can understand me… very happy…! (Teared voice)”
Looks like as long as it is correct, the two will understand it. Just like that, they leave to join their group in low spirits. And Tsukiori who watched over them smiled.
“Looks like you can say it when you have to.”
“I’ve always been able to say what I think, though… Anyway, where is Ojou? I know she thought it is unpleasant to be in the same group with me, but since there is a roll call when we board the ship, it would be troublesome if we don’t act as a group.”
“She is there, already enjoying the event, though?”
“Event?”
When I saw it, even now, Ojou and the girls from another class were having a quarrel to the point they almost grabbed each other.
“Fun!! This is why commoners are!! I’m saying that I don’t want to get involved with people like you!!”
“Hey, be careful with your mouth!! We have three people here!!”
“We can even tear your face when Sensei isn’t looking!”
“Acting so self-importantly! You are the one who picks a fight with us, though?!”
Ojou then confidently holds her magic device.
“Ohohoho!! Are you going to deal with this Ophelia von Margeline with just three people? Please don’t joke. Know your place.”
While I’m not looking just for a moment, she already did her job as an underdog!! (verb)
“Tsukiori, don’t just look, stop her!! Look at that confident face!! In three seconds it will turn into a crying face!!!”
“Isn’t it the usual thing?”
“But, isn’t she pitiful?! She will cry, you know?! Sorry!! We are sorry!! Ano!! We will bow, so please forgive her!!”
Thus, I hurriedly put myself between Ojou and the three. Subsequently, I thought in my heart that it looked like my difficult journey had begun.
