March 14.
The whole of the Literature club is on a bus going to their destination.
The club already contacted the owner of the little resort they are going to. The place was in a remote location far from the cities and was on a mountain. People called it the 'Nature's Paradise.' Nature's Paradise is owned by three old women.
According to the description, from the foot of the mountain up there, is a two-hour hike. Nature's Paradise has several wooden houses and huts with a very large ancient-looking house in it where people will stay.
Also, there is a wide hot spring that is surrounded by large stones and wooden fences and wooden walls. Not to forget about the natural spring just a few meters beside the hot spring.
The payment for renting the place for two days and a night was considered to be expensive. But I was worth it and besides, the food was also covered, as well as snacks.
The place was also good for relaxing and sightseeing, since it was located in a forest.
Just by reading about what Nature's Paradise is all about makes the club very excited, well, Jay doesn't care about it at all.
The only thing that bothers Jay is that he is the only guy in the group. Jay politely requested for a male company to President Amethyst but she denied, saying that there will be more expenses.
Jay had no choice but stay quiet and accept his fate. Like some nerds and otakus out there, Jay also spent some times watching animes during his free times. But not to be considered addicted to it.
Going out with a group of ladies, it feels like a harem, and Jay doesn't want some shitty anime harem styles to apply to him. Jay was only thankful that the girls in the club are good and behaved well, unlike some perverted girls in a harem anime.
The bus trip will take a while, and Jay wanted to sleep. But he can't as he is seated beside their dear President. Amethyst is sleeping, and Jay is thankful that she didn't lean on to his shoulders, or the other girls will surely snap some photos and spread it to the school.
The only thing that disturbs him was the saliva that flowed from her lips.
'I can't believe she will drool like that. What should I do?'
If Jay will not wipe the drool, it will possibly flow to her neck, damn.
Jay sighed and got some tissues to wipe the damned drool out from her face. It is not befitting their president to drool like that. Jay wondered if it was common to her. In school, she acted like a true leader with a bit of humor and strictness. But right now, she is drooling like she is dreaming some shits.
Jay is carefully wiping the saliva when Amethyst woke up. He also slowly wiped the bit of liquid that flowed on her.
Jay noticed that she woke up so he stopped since he also finished.
"Oh? Taking advantage of me while I was asleep?"
Pfft!!
Jay can't believe that she didn't know what he had done.
Maintaining his calm composure, he spoke in a staring tone.
"Don't misunderstand me, I'm not doing some indecent acts since I was wiping the drool out of you face. I can't believe so much saliva came out, I advice you close your mouth when you sleep, that way, drooling can be avoided."
Hearing him, Amethyst quickly understood what happened. She can't believe that she really drooled so much. And the way that Jay spoke, he was like disgusted and wants to lecture her on 'how not to drool in your sleep'.
She just nodded and stayed silent while feeling embarrassed that a guy like him saw her in that kind of situation.
Of course Jay doesn't know thatvhe just hurt the girl's feelings.

After purchasing some useful stuffs and some breads and bottles of juices and water, the club began to embark on their hike.
They reached the place where the sign read "To Nature's Paradise - 2.8 kilometers ahead."
"Okay, I hope you are ready now. Let's go!!!" Amethyst energetically shouted as she forgot about her embarrassing drool moment in the bus.
.

Along the way, the group can't help but feel amazed at the beauty of nature.
They took photos of them along the way will occasionally stopping by to rest. Jay tried to avoid all camera shots, but there are still few where he was caught.
This time, Jay heightened his senses for possible dangers. He can't let anything happen to them, it will not hurt to be wary.

About two hours later, the club reached the place thanks to Amethyst for guiding the group. Her family once came to this place according to her.
They can see the several small huts around. Ahead of them, is the large three-storey house that they should first go.
Then they suddenly hear sound of dogs barking, they saw three dogs, but they didn't see to be hostile as the group is walking towards the house.
Then the three old women that owned the place came out to greet them.
"Hello young ladies." One of the old women greeted.
"Oh, so there is a boy, hello."
The club expressed their thanks and greetings as they all went inside.
The internal design of the house is pretty simple, but looks today and organized. There are not much decorations and the wooden floor looks shiny also. The group placed their belongings at the living room and followed the old women.
The three old women led them to the dining area. The dining area is also clean and beside it is the kitchen. The table in front of them are also filled with various foods and dishes. All are looking delicious.
"Before we talk to each other, please have your meal first, I am sure you haven't had your lunch yet." On old women spoke. "Please enjoy your meal and meet us at the living room afterwards."
The three old women bowed to them before leaving the group.
"Hyah, I'm really hungry, so we must first eat for now." Amethyst led a simple prayer then the club members began eating, enjoying the delicious foods.

The girls decided to wash the plates after eating while some of them first went to the living room.
"So what school are you from?" The old woman asked.
"We're from Rubando High School. May I asked what your names are?" Rose Sachiko asked.
"Oh, just call me Rin." The first woman said.
"Just call me Ran." The second woman said.
"And call me Run." The third woman said.
"Nicknames??" Rose asked once again.
"Yes, and if you are wondering about our age, we are all 67 years old. We have our own families of course, but we three decided to live here as we are friends after all. Sometimes our family visited us."
"Oh."
The club are now complete as the girls finished washing the dishes.
"By the way, thanks for washing the plates, but you don't have to do that it is our job you know." Run said.

The group engaged in a conversation with the three old women as they learned many things from them.
Nature's Paradise was built after the disaster that happened at the past Ballar, where the gangs and groups fought. Jay can remember it since he witnessed it.
Also, the three old women are survivors of the incident.
After some conversations, the club was led to their rooms as they prepare themselves to enjoy their first day at Nature's Paradise.
