Chapter 273 – Episode 32. Seryu Military Company Picnic.
Coincidentally, the day of the Seryu Military Company picnic was the last day of Seryu Tai trainees’ training at the training center. From this day on, you will gain experience through actual combat and become a true member of Seryutai.
I didn’t know, but Chieri Mimata was also participating in this picnic. Are you participating as an advisor to Seryutai? Following Rinka Fujigasaki, one more strange person will participate. I became increasingly anxious about how the picnic would proceed, but since it was only two nights and three days, nothing major would happen.
The valley where we would stay was in Okutama-machi, where East Weapon’s training camp is located. Because Okutama-machi itself was a mountainous area, there seemed to be quite a few valleys. It seemed like the trainees chose it that way because they could go to the valley right after finishing their last training.
The valley is called Hatonosu Valley (鳩ノ巣渓谷), and it is said that there is a waterfall and the valley is beautiful. Even though Sawayanagi Azuma had booked a nearby pension, there was nothing to prepare.
Still, since they said they were having a barbecue party, I had to buy meat. I had to pick up Rinka Fujigasaki this morning, so I bought it in advance yesterday.
The housekeeper introduced me to a place that sells high-quality beef, and I purchased about 20 kilograms of Wagyu. Since other people will also buy sausages and pork, this will be enough to eat too much.
I put the beef I bought in the ice box, packed a change of clothes and a swimsuit in my bag, and put it in the trunk.
Fortunately, though, the airport where I would pick up Rinka Fujigasaki was on the way to Okutama-machi, so it wasn’t that much of a hassle. If I don’t come here to pick it up, I don’t know what will happen to Rinka Fujigasaki, so I have to pick it up.
It was still early Friday morning, so there was no traffic. I arrived at the airport much earlier than usual, drank coffee at a nearby café, and waited for Rinka Fujigasaki to arrive.
It was no secret that Rinka Fujigasaki was coming, so many reporters would be waiting. It must be similar to Son Hong-min, who had to meet a lot of reporters when he returned to Korea.
I wasn’t supposed to show my face yet, so instead of waiting at the airport arrivals hall, I was waiting at a nearby café. When Rinka Fujigasaki came here after eluding her reporters, all we had to do was put them in the car and leave.
I was drinking coffee and watching Fujigasaki Rinka’s arrival scene live on my phone. As expected, it was my first time coming to Japan in a long time, so there was a huge crowd of reporters gathered.
When the door to the arrival hall opened, Rinka Fujigasaki came in accompanied by a barrage of camera flashes. Although it was still quite hot, she was wearing a black neck-shirt and jeans.
Rinka Fujigasaki, who is also currently the biggest sports star in Japan, did not shy away from the cameras and started interviewing her as soon as she entered the arrival hall. She seemed familiar, as if this had happened often.
“Fujigasaki, what is the purpose of her return to Japan?”
“I came to rest for a while in her hometown. “I will also check to see if the Japanese fighting world is doing well.”
Checking to see if the Japanese fighting world is doing well? These were not words that would come out of the mouth of a woman in her 20s, but since Rinka Fujigasaki was one of the strongest in Japan, she was not unreasonable at all.
“Do you have any plans to be active while you are in Japan?”
“I don’t have any specific plans, but if you have any suggestions, please do so through my agency. Then, Peace!”
“Fujigashiki-san! Mr. Fujigasaki!”
Rinka Fujigasaki tried to pass by, showing her signature peace sign with her thumb, index, and middle fingers extended.
Reporters who were not satisfied with her few words blocked Rinka Fujigasaki’s path, but Rinka Fujigasaki passed by countless reporters as if she were a ghost.
She will be here soon, because no more reporters will be able to follow. I started drinking the remaining half of my coffee a little faster than before.
Rinka Fujikasaki: I got in the car. Please take out my coffee too. With ice~!
It’s fast after all. After I finished drinking my coffee, I went to the counter, packed a cup of Ah, and took it to my car. When she got into the car, Rinka Fujigasaki was sitting in her back seat.
“It’s annoying, reporters… After reading the article, should I kill at least one guy who wrote a strange article? Oh, thank you for the coffee.”
It was Rinka Fujigasaki, who took the coffee I gave her and said something cruel that I couldn’t tell if she was joking or serious. After taking a sip of coffee, I seem to come to my senses! He shouted as if he had been drinking.
“Kya! After all, I need some caffeine to come to my senses~!! Hey, disciple. First, since time is running out, let’s have a meal starting in the morning.”
“What do you want to eat?”
Since I have to hide my identity as much as possible, it would have been a bit awkward to go to a restaurant with Rinka Fujigasaki, but since I told her in advance, she must have something in mind.
“Get it packaged in gyudon bowls from Yoshinoya.”
“Isn’t Matsuya better?”
“You eat Matsuya. Because I’m definitely Yoshino.”
Still, seeing as they asked me to bring takeout, I guess they plan to eat it in the car. By the way, it wasn’t Matsuya, it was a master who had no taste. I went to Yoshinoya near the airport and packed two bowls of Gyudon Gopbaegi and one bowl of Buta Dong Gopbaegi.
“Kya! After all, it tastes much better in Japan than in the US!”
Rinka Fujigasaki ate the gyudon as if it was very delicious, and while I was watching, I also took out the butadon and ate it. Since I didn’t eat breakfast, I didn’t really like Yoshinoya, but it was quite delicious.
“Ugh~! I ate well. But what is that company that you are going to the picnic with today?”
“You said Master would also participate in the picnic, but are you asking now?”
When I looked at him with a puzzled expression, Rinka Fujigasaki said loudly again, “Kyahaha!”
She laughed.
“Since we’re having fun, I’m joining in. “The youngest son of Japan’s largest conglomerate is probably busy, so he saves time to meet with me separately.”
Well, I had nothing to say when I told him that he was joining the picnic to save my time. Still, he is a master who cares about his students.
“I also have a commercial shoot starting Monday.”
“After all, you came because of the advertisement, right?”
“Kyahaha! Let’s live together and live together! If you’ve seen my interview, you’ve probably heard this, but there’s something to check with the Japanese fighting world…”
What is there in the Japanese fighting world? At that moment, Rinka Fujigasaki’s eyes became serious, and I unconsciously wondered if something had happened.
In fact, she wasn’t interested in the Japanese fighting world, so she didn’t know how it worked, but if Rinka Fujigasaki came to Japan in person, she felt like something big could happen. She’ll have to ask later.
“Rather than that, just answer what I asked, disciple. What kind of company picnic is this?”
“There is a company I invested in called Seryu Military Company. “We are gathering to spend the weekend in the valley with the people there.”
“Oh you have a PMC? “Isn’t it great?”
Of course, since it was a Seryu ‘military’ company, Rinka Fujigasaki must have thought it was PMC. After eating all the take-out food, I collected the trash and threw it in a nearby trash can, then entered Hatonos Valley Pension into the navigation and started the car.
“Hatonos Valley? Should I search somewhere…”
After Rinka Fujigasaki asked me about her destination, she started searching Hatonosu Valley. Rinka Fujigasaki nodded as if she found something she liked.
“Because there is a waterfall, I can practice here!”
Although she was usually a frivolous older sister, she was more serious about martial arts than Kiyohira. She has a woman’s body, and it is probably because of this spirit of improvement that she became the UMC brute class champion.
Looking at the arrival time, it took over two hours to get from Haneda Airport to Hatonosu Valley. Roughly speaking, the meeting time was 11 o’clock, so I could arrive much earlier. Then I have to go to the training center and pick up some trainees.
Since there are only two cars at the training center, it will be very expensive to drive, so it would be good for me to help as an investor.
“I have quite a bit of time, so I’ll stop by the training center first before going to the valley.”
“Do whatever you feel like. I’ll sleep for the next two hours. “I’m a little tired because of the jet lag.”
The time difference between LA and Japan is a whopping 16 hours, so even the superhuman Rinka Fujigasaki would be tired.
I glanced at Rinka Fujigasaki with her eyes closed through her rearview mirror and played the song she was listening to while driving.
~♬ ~♪
As I drove while listening to the song and humming, I was able to arrive at the training center where Seryutai trainees were receiving training. Rinka Fujigasaki opened her eyes just in time to see if what she said about sleeping for only two hours was true. Rinka Fujigasaki smiled as she stretched out her arms and did her stretching. She looked like she was in excellent condition.
“Well, I’m getting used to it now.”
He was an amazing master to overcome the 16-hour time difference with only 2 hours of sleep.
I parked my car in the training center parking lot and came out with Rinka Fujigasaki. When I came in, I saw trainees lined up on the playground in front of the training center, listening to Azuma Sawayanagi’s speech. It seemed like the training was ending with a speech.
“Everyone has worked hard for several weeks. Now you are truly members of Seryutai.”
“Waaah!”
When we arrived just in time, the speech was over and the trainees were cheering. Everyone seemed quite happy that the training in the mountains was over.
“Ryuta~!”
As soon as Azuma Sawayanagi’s speech ended, Alric ran towards me in a confused manner and hugged me. I stroked Alrik’s head. Alric was holding both his hands together and looking up at me. Alrik was wearing a green field jacket with the Seryu Military Company logo attached, perhaps given to trainees who completed training. He looked quite a bit bigger than Alrik, but he still has room for growth, so he’ll probably fit in later.
“Thank you for your hard work, Alrik.”
“Alik was fun.”
Rinka Fujigasaki looked at Alric silently and then opened her mouth to me.
“Disciple, what is this cute creature?”
