SURFING OCEAN ☀ CHAPTER 5

[karoruru]

 

[Scene - Deserted Island: Beach]

Adonis: I’m heading off.

Kaoru: Bye~ looking forward to seeing what you find~

Ok-ay... guess I’ll bring the water back for Sakuma-san and Leon-chan ♪

Two bottles...no, including my share, then three.

Might be a better idea to use the plastic tank Adonis-kun left behind.

Gotta give it a wash, dip it right into the water...and heave!

H-heavy...this is too heavy.

I’ll leave this one for Adonis-kun, then. I’ll just carry the bottles.

Three’s already quite heavy, though...guess I’ll just take my time.

...and I’m back at the spot with the flag.

Mmm...the breeze is nice. It really is the perfect day for surfing.

I did say all that to Adonis-kun, but maybe I should’ve taken him up on his offer.

...oh, there’s a cave over there. Why didn’t we notice earlier?

It should be quite cool inside- maybe Sakuma-san could rest in there. I’ll suggest it to him later.

＜Few minutes later＞

Hey~ still alive, Sakuma-san~?

Rei: Zzz…

Kaoru: Good, he’s alive. Guess he’s resting, though.

Oh, Leon-chan. You listened to Koga-kun and looked after the place properly, hm~? Good boy ♪ 

I got some delicious water for you~ your souvenir.

Even brought along a bowl I found along the beach to drink in~

Fufu, pretty good, right? C’mere.

Haha, you’re wagging your tail pretty hard while gulping it down. It’s hot, isn’t it, especially with all that fur~

Maybe there’s something I can use as a fan…

Ah, this leaf looks good- I’ll help fan you. …...comfortable?

It is? Good. Dogs can’t adjust to heat like humans, after all...quite a problem, isn’t it…

Nn? Something just hit my foot.

Oh, a crab. I think I saw this in the guide book, but the name…I forgot.

Rei: Mnnnn…. That was a good nap ♪

Kaoru: Sakuma-san. Did I wake you? Sorry.

Rei: I don’t mind. I was intending to stay awake while waiting for you all, but the sound of waves was simply too relaxing…

Oh, where are Wanko and Adonis-kun?

Kaoru: Exploring the island. Adonis-kun found a creek with delicious water- here.

Rei: Ooh, thirst was just becoming quite the problem, so I won’t hold back… mm ♪

Kaoru: The sun isn’t letting up at all, but how’s your condition? Can you move at all? I found something that’d suit you, see~

Rei: Something for me? Could it perhaps be a grand house, matched with a red rooftop and a beautiful garden? ♪

Kaoru: Sorry, I should’ve worded that better. Forget that…

I found a cave. The sun won’t get you in there, so it’d be more comfortable than just the shade, right?

Rei: A cave, you say? Well, staying in one spot for too long dulls the body…

How about we take a stroll for a visit. ...heave-ho~

Kaoru: What about you, Leon-chan? You coming with us?

Rei: Looks like he wants to wait for his owner here. What a good boy.

If someone asks where we are, make sure you go chase after our scents, Leon-kun...♪

＜Few minutes later＞

Rei: Uu, it’s hot...the sun is piercing through my skin...Kaoru-kun, does this cave really exist?

Kaoru: Mm, it’s there. We’ll arrive as we walk straight along the coast.

Rei: Then I suppose I’ll endure this a little longer…

...oh, there’s a flag here. Does this island have residents?

Kaoru: Ahaha. That wasn’t the work of any resident, but Koga-kun. He had quite some fun making it~ said it’d fit『UNDE(L)A(N)D』.

The cave is... there. See it, Sakuma-san?

Rei: Oh, is it that one?

Kaoru: ...aaand we’re here~ quite a nice cave, right?

Rei: Hm, hm. It’s nice and dark, and the walls are cool, too...♪ Let us enter promptly.

 

…...gyaaaaaa!?

Kaoru: Woah, a bunch of bats just flew towards Sakuma-san…! They’ve surrounded him and formed some kind of black creation. A-are you okay?

Rei: Noo~ Save me, Kaoru-kun…

Kaoru: Even if you say that...why don’t you exit the cave, first? C’mon, Sakuma-san.

Rei: I cannot see...is it this way?

Kaoru: No, no, opposite! You’re just heading deeper that way! I’ll lead, so give me your hand.

Rei: L-Like this…?

Kaoru: Uwah, you’ve become some kind of black monster...we’re walking, okay? One, two, one, two…

Rei: ...ooh, I can already see much clearer.

Kaoru: Since we’re outside the cave, yeah. Now we’re just left with...shoo, shoo!

Rei: Y-You saved me...thank you, Kaoru-kun.

Kaoru: You’re welcome. I didn’t expect there to be so many bats…

Unfortunate, but it seems like we can’t rest there. Should we head back to the shade?
