According to Asaka, everyone would take a yacht from the dock and would reach the uninhabited island in half a day.
Three cars were parked in front of the apartment gate.
The girls placed their luggage into the car trunks.
Before taking their respective seats!
Yukinoshita Yukino, Yuigahama Yui and Akira Fujimiya were sitting in one car.
Setsuna Nagano, Megumi Tadokoro, Nishimiya Shouko and Hiratsuka Shizuka were in another.
Isshiki Iroha, Kawasaki Saki, Yumiko Miura, and Ebina Hina rode in the third.
After half an hour, the three cars arrived at the dock.
Akira saw the yacht that Setsuna had mentioned.
"Is this… a yacht?" Yuigahama Yui asked, staring at the massive vessel in front of her.
"Please come aboard," Asaka said calmly.
Several maids descended from the ship, bowed to Asaka, and began assisting everyone with their luggage.
Erina Nakiri stood to the side, looking at the ship. She understood immediately that this must be the birthday present the young lady had received, and such yachts were extremely rare—capable of accommodating hundreds of guests.
Once everyone had boarded, Yuigahama Yui stood on the deck, gazing out at the sea. It was her first time on such a large vessel. She couldn't contain her excitement as she continue to glanced here and there.
Setsuna stood beside Akira and began explaining the yacht's layout— the kitchen, bar, dining room, indoor entertainment rooms, and more. "If you want to watch a movie, you can go to the screening room," she explained.
After the girls placed their suitcases in their rooms, they began exploring the ship.
When Akira saw Hiratsuka Shizuka aimlessly following behind the girls, he asked about the location of the bar, and the two went there together.
The bar was small but well-stocked with expensive red wines and some select white wines. A maid stood behind the bar, expertly mixing cocktails. Her movements were precise and professional, resembling a professional bartender in a high-class lounge.
Two glasses of wine were placed in front of Akira and Hiratsuka Shizuka. Shizuka raised her glass, clinked it with Akira's, and took a sip.
Akira tasted his wine, feeling the strength and subtle flavors. Despite being alcohol, it felt more like a refined drink than a harsh beverage—exactly to his liking.
After finishing the first glass, Shizuka requested. "Another drink, please."
The maid nodded politely and continued mixing.
"Three cups at most," Akira said calmly, standing up.
He can't let his sensei drink too much and miss the ride now, can he?
"Yes, Master Akira," the maid replied, bowing.
"Damn guy!" Shizuka muttered under her breath, watching Akira leave.
"As for beer, we have that too," the maid reminded her.
Shizuka's eyes lit up at the Maids mention.
Although she enjoyed mixed drinks, she had always preferred beer.
.....
In the indoor entertainment room,
Akira saw Isshiki Iroha and Tadokoro Megumi playing table tennis together.
This time, Megumi's performance seemed slightly different than usual.
Isshiki served the ball, and Megumi returned it precisely.
"Let me try," Akira said, stepping forward.
"Senpai, she's strong. Be careful," Isshiki warned as she passed her racket to him.
"Don't worry, I am strong" Akira said, picking up the ping-pong ball and taking the racket from Iroha.
Iroha blinked.
She stepped aside.
Akira served the ball, and Megumi returned it in kind. The difference was that Akira predicted where the ball would land and countered perfectly.
Akira's style was flexible and varied; he could counterattack using forehand, backhand, and strategic placement.
Megumi was surprised but maintained her composure as she begin to play seriously.
The match continued for several minutes until Megumi made a minor mistake, letting the ball slip past her.
"Sensei, you're amazing!" Isshiki clapped from the side, cheering for him.
"Tadokoro-san is very strong too. There are few people of the same age could match her in it," Akira said, glancing at Megumi.
"Master Akira, can we play a few more rounds?" Megumi asked.
Though she had lost, her expression was bright and excited. In her hometown and at Polar Star Dormitory, no one could challenge her skills—except Akira.
"Of course. Let's continue," he said, tossing her the ball.
In the subsequent rounds, Megumi only won once. Akira was impressed; even a single victory showed her incredible talent. She relied on agility, reaction speed, and bursts of inspiration—traits that could make her a top contender in table tennis competitions.
"Master Akira, thank you," Megumi said, bowing.
"You're welcome. When we return to Sakurasou, I'll have someone install a ping-pong table," Akira said, handing the racket back ro Iroha. Megumi's face lit up with anticipation at the mention.
The entertainment room offered more than table tennis: billiards, darts, and arcade games.
Akira noticed Erina Nakiri and Yukinoshita Yukino at the pool table. Their movements were precise, though Yukino's skill was clearly superior. After Erina was defeated a few times, she had to step aside with a bitter expression.
When Hisako Arato noticed Akira, she blushed as she remember their last meeting.
"Let me play a game with Yukino," Akira said softly to Erina.
Erina hesitated but handed him the billiard cue. Akira watched Yukino's technique as she continued clearing the table—every ball pocketed with near-perfect precision.
"If I win, you'll come to my room tonight. If you win, I'll go to your's?" Akira asked with a grin.
"Is there a difference?" Yukino asked flatly, as she rolled her eyes. Her cheeks were a little red.
"Of course there's a difference. Some of the outfits I brought are in my room: maid uniforms, professional attire, even bunny girl outfits…"
"You bad guy!" Yukino shouted, glaring at Akira in embarrassment and indignation.
How can he say that with a straight face! Just how shameless is he!!
Erina and Hisako Arato both blushed at the exchange.
.....
Billiards differed from table tennis; the amount of force and the angle of each shot determined the outcome.
Though Akira had never played billiards seriously, he adapted to it quickly.
After Yukino set up the table, she let him play first. Akira struck, but his initial force was too much, scattering the balls. With—one even fell directly into a pocket.
Yukino remained unsurprised — Losing to him would have been unusual. Since she had guessed it was his first time playing billiards.
Akira continued, mimicking Yukino's earlier technique, sinking ball after ball. Halfway through, he made a small mistake, pausing to smile at her.
Yukino ignored him, simply finding a shot and clearing the remaining balls with precision.
Finally, Yukino lined up the last ball. Her strength seemed to fade slightly, and the cue ball stopped just short of its mark. She glanced at Akira, who leaned over and pushed the final ball into the pocket effortlessly — He had won.
"Yukino, you were almost there. What a pity. Remember to come to my room tonight," Akira said, grinning.
"Don't be too proud. Next time, I will never lose to you again," Yukino replied, setting down her cue and leaving, still flushed.
