In more than an hour, the train reached Enoshima.
Haru woke Maki, Eli, and Nozomi, who were still asleep, then he and the girls carried their luggage and walked out of the station, but as soon as they walked out of the chilly and cool station, the scorching sun welcomed them, and they felt a burst of heat which made them sweat profusely.
The strong sunshine in July indicated that they were about to enter summer.
The dazzling light made Haru make it hard for him to open his eyes, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hand until he got used to the light.
Looking at the girls, their reaction was quite similar. Maki even put on sunglasses since this sun was a bit too much.
Although they had arrived at Enoshima, the island was quite large after all, and they were still in the commercial street, and there was still a short distance from the beach, so the sea breeze couldn't come to their location.
Because all the girls were quite tired after sitting on the train for a long time, and seeing that everyone didn't have an interest in shopping, Haru made a suggestion.
"Let's go to the beach house first and put all the luggage there before making plans."
Everyone agreed without hesitation.
When there were too many people, it could be troublesome sometimes, and for example, they couldn't take a taxi now, and they waited for a bus and walked a long distance after they reached their destination, reaching Haru's villa.
That's right. This villa was Haru's since he had bought it before. It was fairly cheap for him to buy one or two villas, so it didn't really matter since he could also rent this villa and make money from it, too, so he decided to buy one, but he didn't tell all the members of Muse about this.
The villa has two floors and is surrounded by tall concrete walls. The entrance gate is made from wood with a modern mechanism that can be opened automatically. The villa is made in a contemporary style with a dynamic mix of contrasting materials and textures, exposed roof beams, and flat or low-pitched roofs.
In conclusion, this villa was very stylish and cool.
"It's so beautiful!"
The eight members of Muse marveled by the villa in front of them.
"It's a very good villa. It should be better than mine." Maki looked at Haru and asked, "It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"Well, okay..."
For him, this villa was very cheap, and he could buy it as much as he wanted, but it would be wasteful to buy too much since he didn't even stay in this house for a long time and a building without someone living on it for a long time would be damaged quite easily.
"It's time to explore!"
Entering the villa, Honoka and Rin tossed their luggage and ran away like wild horses that had taken off their reins.
"You two, take care of your luggage first!"
Umi also followed them anxiously.
After Haru placed his luggage, he sat down casually on the couch and looked around. Unlike his house, which had several floors and was quite tall, this villa might not be tall, but it was quite wide and similar to his house, it was decorated in a modern style and was combined with a Japanese traditional design which made it very stylish.
With the air-conditioner turned on, Haru nestled comfortably on the couch, feeling the cool temperature, bathing in the sunlight that came from the window, lazily without any intentions to move.
"It's almost eleven o'clock. Hurry up and prepare lunch!"
Haru turned and looked at a group of girls in the kitchen.
Maki: "Is there no chef here?" She looked around curiously, wondering where the chef was.
Nico: "Chef?" She was confused and surprised when she heard the word "chef" came from Maki's mouth.
Maki looked at Nico and said, "Isn't it quite normal to have a chef in this kind of villa? There is also a chef at my house, what's so surprising?
Kotori: "Private chef... Maki-chan, you're really rich..." She was amazed and surprised.
Nico: "Hehe... it turns out Maki's family is quite similar to me. Nico's family also has an exclusive chef, and it is said that he graduated from Tootsuki Academy, so Nico has never been in the kitchen."
But when they thought about who was the richest in this place...
"Haru, is there a chef at your house?' Kotori asked curiously.
"No, I don't have a chef at my house. I cook by myself," Haru said simply while looking at Nico with a smile.
"....."
Nico looked at Haru with an incredulous expression and wondered why she had said that she had an exclusive chef in her house when the richest man on earth didn't even have his own exclusive chef.
"But you don't need to prepare lunch."
Haru looked at Maki, Nico, and Kotori and said, "I guess that you all didn't rest last night, right? After sitting on the train for so long today, you should be very tired, so everyone should take a rest and recharge their energy, there are going to be many activities later, and as for lunch, we can just call for a takeaway."
"Um... there are a lot of shops around. I wonder what they sell here."
There were many brochures of the food shops around the area in the villa, and they only needed to choose which one they wanted to eat and called the shop before the shops sent the food to their villa.
In 2010, there weren't any apps that could do online food ordering and delivery, and most people would call the shop directly, and the shop would send the foods by their delivery system.
Haru knew that online food ordering and delivery hadn't grown so much in 2010, and it could create a lot of money, especially when it was combined with the online taxi. Still, he knew this kind of business was very troublesome, so he only put his money and invested in some companies, waiting for it to grow.
"Just order what you want." In truth, it was better to eat the food that he made, but he felt too lazy to do that right now. When everyone looked at what kind of foods they would order, Umi and Rin walked down from the second floor, and Haru asked, "Where is Honoka? Isn't she with you?"
"She fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed." Umi held her forehead with a sigh, showing a helpless expression. She looked at Haru and asked, "Do you need me to wake her up?"
"No, just call her when lunch comes."
Haru waved his hand and nestled on the couch again, closed his eyes, and fell asleep without knowing it.
---
The food was delivered at 12:30, and the taste of the food was quite standard.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either., in Haru's mouth, but he knew very well that most of the dishes which were chosen by the girls were quite famous since it was sold in the area where the riches were living.
Honoka and everyone ate the food with relish.
Honoka felt a bit thirsty and ran to get water on the fridge, and she was surprised when she saw that there were all kinds of drinks there. "Look, everyone, there are a lot of drinks here! What do you want to drink? I will help you get it."
"Honoka, look carefully. The drinks here are charged." Umi quickly reminded Honoka and said, "there is a price list next to the fridge."
After all, this villa was bought to be rented for a holiday, so it was quite normal for Haru to put the price list on the drink even though all of them were quite free.
"Really?"
However, when Rin saw the price list, she exclaimed loudly, "A bottle of mineral water costs 800 yen! This is simply a robbery!"
Maki glanced at Rin and said, "It's Evian water, it is normal, it's not that expensive."
"But even if it's Evian water, it only costs 250 yen outside! But here, it almost costs four times the normal price! It's too expensive!"
Honoka was quite angry.
Just when Haru was about to say that everything was free, Nozomi smiled and said, "Rin-chan, Honoka, don't you think that the owner of the villa is very greedy? Don't you want to make money from him?"
"Is there a way, Nozomi-chan?"
"Tell us, Nozomi!"
Nozomi's smile became brighter at the two and said, "I can teach you how to trick the greedy owner." After a moment of pause, she said under the expectation eyes of Honoka and Rin. "Evian water outside only costs 250 yen, and the price here is 800 yen. If you go and buy a bottle of Evian water outside and drink it here, don't you make 550 yen?"
"Wow!" Honoka's eyes beamed and said, "Nozomi, you're so smart!"
Rin nodded several times and said, "I am going to buy ten bottles now!"
Nico made "hmph" contemptuously while folding her arms. "It's good that we can teach this greedy owner!"
"...."
As the owner of the villa, Haru wasn't sure what to say, but he felt that his price was quite normal since they didn't need to go out and the distance between the villa and the nearby store was quite far, so it was normal to raise the price.
Haru watched Nico, Honoka, and Rin, who were about to go out, and decided to stop them.
Fortunately, Umi moved very fast, and she also had a strong sense of justice, quickly stopping the stupid trios who wanted to do stupid things.
After knowing the truth of the matter, the stupid trios were naturally annoyed and chased after Nozomi for tricking them!
Suddenly there was a lot of noise in the villa, which was both warm and lively until...
"Say, is that greedy owner is you?" Eli asked in a whisper.
"...."
Haru wasn't sure what to say for a moment, but he knew that he needed to shut this mouth or else she would blabber something.
"Yes, and this greedy owner needs to shut your mouth now."
When everyone's attention was on something else, Haru directly stole Eli's lips secretly and intertwined their tongues with each other, exchanging each other's saliva before parting their lips acted as if nothing happened. Still, both of them were quite excited about their holiday at this moment.
