06. Water melon
Asami found a piece of a paper on the dining table at middle of the morning in last week of July.
‘To Asami,
I’m working two weeks at the seaside house run by grandmother of my friend. Don’t bother to invite me to a party at your hotel!!
I don’t think you worry about your meal, but you can have any food in the fridge and freezer. Instruction note is put on each packet. There isn’t fully amount for 2 weeks, but you’ll be able to eat light-dinner every mid-night for a week.
Akihito’
“Here, shave ice, two strawberries and a blue Hawaii! Is that all? Let me know if you need anything!”
Akihito hurried back to the kitchen. Weekend of middle August, sunny and very hot, there isn’t any busier day at the seaside house on a beach in the outskirt of Tokyo.
“Akihito! Take a yakisoba to that table, two for left!”
“Yes, Sir!!”
“…and president Takahsi hope to move up the meeting from evening day after tomorrow, also assembly member Sato wish re-schedule the luncheon conference on Tuesday. Is it okay to you to attend the meeting today, and luncheon for Sunday?”
“Fine.”
Kirishima tapped his tablet.
“Then, you could have three-days off from Monday to Wednesday of next week. I insist you to keep this time for yourself. You haven’t taken day off since last winter…”
“Did you plan that?”
Kirishima said nothing, but his lips slightly curled.
“Cheers!!”
Boy’s voices lunged in calm beach after the fireworks festival.
“Post-work beer is the best!”
“Year!”
Akihito bumped a can with his friends.
“There is a big crowd on fireworks festival every year…”
“Speaking of which, where were you at the night of last year?”
Akihito blew out his beer with Kou’s question.
“Wha! That’s gross!! We were very busy that day too, while you weren’t seen anywhere.”
Akihito felt his cheeks very hot.
“Akihito? Are you drunk already?”
“N, no…I don’t think so…”
A platter which was full with pieces of water melon was put on sand beside them.
“Oh! Water melon!”
Kou’s grandmother smiled them.
“Dig it up! There are still many water melons. Neighbourhood farmer brought me these because it became overripe for sell.”
“Itadaki-mas!”
Akihito took a huge bite. Eating sweet juicy water melons, an idea came up with him.
Does he eat water melons? It’s good to be told now is summer.
“Oba-chan, Can I take away one or two water melons to home?”
“Sure! How big does it suit you…? I’ll tie up it to bring easier for you.”
With a word of ‘tie-up’, Akihito blushed once more.
“Akihito? Are you really OK?”
Kou asked him worriedly.
“Y, year…., isn’t it a little bit hot?”
“So? I think it’s getting cooler from dusk.”
Kou said in confusion.
“Ah-, I’ll go to talk to oba-chan, I want to choose water melon for a souvenir.”
Akihito hastily stood up, and walked away from Kou opening his mouth.
“Aki-chan, now is a good time. Which water melon do you want?”
As Kou’s grandmother noticed Akihito, she smiled him.
There were many water melons in cardboard box at the side of the shed.
“Hmm…, I prefer small ones, I think we can’t eat all if it’s big.”
“We? Do you live with someone, not by yourself?”
“Wha!? A, ah-, so, um…”
Akihito stuttered, and scratched his cheek.
“Then, you are capable, well?”
She grinned.
“How about this and this? You are young, you might finish this size soon.”
In front of Akihito, who couldn’t say anything she put two water melons into each net made of vinyl strings.
“I just remembered, a bulky man asked me to give a message for you. Maybe…,ah, he’ll fetch you around one tomorrow morning, he came from a company named aster, and they hope you to attend an event from early morning tomorrow. He said you’ll understand when you hear the company name, do you?”
Akihito immediately noticed the meaning of the company name.
Aster is the English name for Sion of Japanese flower name.
“Y, yes!! I know them…I’ve gotten some jobs from them…”
Akihito checked his watch.
Shit! There are five minutes to one o’clock! I can’t meet my friends with them!!
“I must go now, where did he say he will come?”
“I think he didn’t say anything about that. I’m sorry, I should ask him.”
Akihito shook his hands and head for Kou’s grandmother smiled apologetically.
“No, no, don’t mind! Anyway, I’ll go to say good-bye to Kou and others.”
“Then, tell Kou to clean up thoroughly after the party. I go home to sleep. You may also take this. You can present a water melon to your co-workers, A weather forecast said it'll be very hot tomorrow.”
She pointed at a large water melon in a net.
“Thank you oba-chan, see you again!”
Akihito quickly returned to his friends, and told them his leave (or escaped from question), then run from the two weeks work place with three water melons.
Soon, he found the familiar black limo parking on a road beside of beach.
When he came closer to the car, a window of the drivers seat slide down.
“Hurry up! Asami-sama is tired from long meetings.”
Akihito climbed into the car.
“Would you come to bring me home?”
“No.”
Akihito looked up dubiously at the Impressive face as usual.
“Eh? Then why did you come…?”
“My secretary forces me to take a vacation.”
“Again!? I don’t have time to waste for you.”
He glared Asami, whose lips were curl up with a form of smirk now.
“Do you have any schedule for the next three days?”
“……well, where will we go?”
Akihito asked with yawn.
“You know when you arrive. Take a nap, it still take few hours.”
When Akihito waked up, he was no longer in the car.
The room was tidy and modest (for Asami). There were a small chest, a closet and a king-size bed, the floor and wall had wood grain pattern, it looked like log-house.
Where am I?
He got out of the bed, and patted toward a door.
Until Akihito got an answer for his question, he found Asami reading a newspaper on a couch near a large window in a hall, one large water melon on the floor beside a refrigerator in a kitchen, other large and small water melons with foods in the refrigerator, two rooms and many doors.
As he opened the entrance door, he saw a forest.
“WHA!?”
He tended to turn back, then noticed two guards standing by each side of the door.
“Where is here?”
“……”
Same as any other times, they ignored him.
Akihito returned to the hall with a sigh.
He threw a glare and a place name which he guessed from his surroundings at Asami.
“Yes.”
Asami eyed him with a cup of coffee.
“Why you choose a forest instead of sea-side?”
“I thought you are tired of sea. Go to the kitchen, you can get your breakfast.”
After eating perfect-cooked brunch, Akihito explored inside the house.
In the middle of wondering, he met few guards, and Kirishima who looked relaxed slightly than usual.
So it’s really vacation?
In fact, he was little worried about ‘something’ might happen from a sudden appearance of Asami.
Well, let him loose a little bit, now is summer!”
He remembered the large watermelon with room temperature.
I hit upon a good idea to use it!
He grinned.
“Asami! Let play ‘hit the watermelon’!!”
“?”
He gave a questioning look at Akihito who was hanging a net which was wrapping a watermelon from left shoulder. He also folded a vinyl sheet in right arm, clutched a long wand made of white wood with right hand.
“’hit the watermelon’?”
“Have you played ‘hit the watermelon’?”
“No”
He pulled Asami to in front of the house.
Akihito smiled him and put water melon on the vinyl sheet.
“I tell you how to play! First, you need to put a blindfold.”
He pulled out a white hand towel wrapping around his neck.
“Show me example.”
“Sure!”
Akihito tied the towel at back of his head. He couldn’t see Asami’s lips were curled up with wicked grin.
“First, you put a blindfold like this, then you turn around the wand stood on the ground five times…”
Felling dizzy, Akihito tend to walk for the watermelon holding the wand.
“It’s also fun to look a wobbling player. Hey, Asami! Tell me where I can hit the watermelon!”
“All right, a bit left.”
Akihito stepped forward to Asami.
“More.”
Now he came within arm’s reach of Asami.
“Turn around.”
Akihito felt more light-headedness from his quick turn.
He tried to go forward, but he was moved to backward.
“Nnh!?”
He got a feeling of floating, and his legs were no longer on the land.
“Asami!
Akihito hurled the wand. He tried to put out his blindfold, but Asami blocked that.
“Asami!! Let me down!!”
“We can play more fun game…. You’ll be adorable in the knots like wrapping for watermelon.”
The watermelon has been left on the ground.
