Chapter 60:
Nobunaga Oda
It's 6 p.m. Somehow, Friday night has arrived. During that time, I studied to become a masseuse at school, went to the home center to buy miscellaneous items, and oh yeah, I bought swim trunks too. It's my first time going to the beach with girls. Maybe I'm the most excited among the four of us.
I went to rent a car in the evening and just came back. We planned to stay overnight for a two-day trip, and the three college girls wanted to enjoy the trip, so we decided to gather and leave on Friday night. We rented a vivid deep wine-red minivan. Nina-san rented it. It's because of the four of us, Nina-san and I have driver's licenses, so we'll take turns driving. Nina-san is capable and can do anything.
"Welcome back! Shall we leave now?"
"Well, hold on, let me take a short break."
When I returned to the room, Serai-san, who had prepared everything, was eagerly waiting, ready to leave as soon as she saw my face. Well, I went to rent the car by bus and on foot to save money, so wait a little.
If I use my abilities at 20 times the level of an ordinary person, I could run at the speed of a car, but if such a muscular guy ran at that speed, everyone would immediately realize that I'm the guy trained in dungeons. I don't want to attract that kind of attention.
"Mmm, let me load the luggage first. Give me the keys."
Serai-san said that while wearing sunglasses, even though it was already dark and nighttime. Hehe, how amusing. But it's delightful that everyone is looking forward to this trip.
And Serai-san's upper body outfit is an ivory knit with a low-cut neckline.
(Goha! Th-That is the legendary equipment called the "XX Slayer" in certain circles!)
To wear such a thing without hesitation. I can feel Serai-san's enthusiasm for this trip.
"How is it? Doesn't it look great?"
"Yeah, it's awesome."
But I responded with a thumbs-up and a smile to Serai-san, who struck a pose with both arms raised. I never show any malicious feelings on my face.
..
It's 8 p.m. We went to pick up Nina-san from her apartment and met up. Serai-san said, "Even if you told me Shizu lives here, I wouldn't believe it right away." Unfortunately, Nina-san's apartment is located deep in an alley. So we couldn't confirm it visually.
"Nice to see you! You look great with the car and the shirt!"
"Oh, thank you. Nina, you look lovely too. I thought you were a princess from a summer resort."
I also dressed up for the trip and wore an aloha shirt. I had never bought such a flashy patterned shirt before. But now that I've become muscular, even if it doesn't suit a skinny geek, it suits me.
On the other hand, Nina-san wore a lovely white long dress with frills. Nina-san possesses a seductiveness, and the elegance of her white long dress combines perfectly, creating an atmosphere that feels like the older sister of a boy's first crush on a distant summer day.
Ah, I'm meeting such onee-san on a hot summer day and having things develop into a delightful and embarrassing experience.
Oh, sorry. That was from the erotic manga I have.
"You look great, Shizu!"
"Thanks! Maachi, you're also quite bold!"
"Hehehe."
"Okay, Nina-san, do you have everything? Then let's go pick up Ruu."
"Okay!"
The cheerful pair raised their arms with smiles and spoke in unison.
..
At 9 p.m. We arrived at Ruu's apartment. Since Serai-san had sent her a message in advance, Ruu was already waiting for us at the entrance of the apartment building.
"Hey, hey, why are you calling your beloved girlfriend Coach?"
"I came to pick you up, Ruuu. Now, let's go to the Izu beach together! (Click) Yes, master! Roger that!"
"No, no, let me pick her up normally (Sigh)."
Since neither Nina-san nor Serai-san got out of the car, I went to pick up Ruu.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ruu."
"Coach, nice to meet you today. Please take care of me"
Ruu, who is usually serious, bows with a very polite response. She's wearing a white lantern-sleeved shirt and a gray cami dress. It gives off a more maternity wear vibe for a shopping trip nearby than going on a trip. But that reserved personality of Ruu suits her well, and I find it very pleasing.
"It suits you well."
"Ah thank you (Blush)."
Hmm, no need to say anything specific.
I can't talk about the details of fashion and such.
Anyway, now that everyone is here, our adventure begins.
..
After meeting up, the three college girls and I had a late dinner at a family restaurant and then got on the Shuto Expressway. Because they wanted to see the sunrise from the sea together, I took the car's wheel, driving on the midnight highway.
The college girls, who were initially lively, started to doze off as their bellies were full and the late night approached. During a break at the Ebina Service Area, Nina-san switched places with Ruu in the front passenger seat.
"Coach, if you're tired, don't hesitate to let me know. I can take over the driving for you~"
"Oh, thanks."
The midnight highway. The continuous white lines and the dark scenery flowed past the car's windows. In such a quiet and dark world, Nina-san's relaxed voice soothes the heart.
"Suu~ Suu~"
"Mmm Nyamunya"
Ruu and Serai-san are already deep in sleep in the back seat. If you're dreaming, I recommend dreams with little old men. I obtained skills from him, after all.
Occasionally, sharp noises resonate from the slightly open car window as cars pass by on the opposite lane of the highway.
"Hey, Coach."
"Hmm?"
Amidst that, Nina-san quietly spoke to me to avoid waking the two.
"Coach, do you have someone you respect or admire?"
"Someone I respect, or maybe a historical figure?"
"Yeah, that's it."
It seems Nana brought up the topic to help me stay awake.
"Someone I respect, huh Well, I admire Nobunaga Oda I always wanted to live like him, not bending myself and pursuing my goals with talent alone. His character may seem unconventional. But he thinks very rationally. And the fact that he didn't back down even when he had the entire country against him, I find that admirable."
Yeah, I love Nobunaga Oda. Or rather, is there anyone who's an otaku and hates Nobunaga Oda? Not only the historical figure himself, but his character has taken on various forms, even becoming a beautiful girl multiple times. That's the basis of my argument that no otaku hates Nobunaga Oda. Of course, I'm open to differing opinions.
"Oh, he's famous. What do you like about him?"
"Hmm, it's probably because he pursued his goals without compromising him, and his talent. His unconventional way of thinking may seem messy, but he approaches things very logically. And even when he made enemies throughout Japan, he never flinched and kept fighting. I think that shows his admirable nature."
Sengoku-themed stories often become settings for anime and manga. So I can talk about history to some extent.
"Boys all seem to like Nobunaga, don't they?"
"Well, that's inevitable. His way of life is like a perfect example of a cool guy. I think every guy, to some extent, wants to live like him."
"I see that's how it is. Then, who's your second choice?"
Oh, second choice, huh? Then let me mention that person next.
