Book 14: Chapter 1: “Different Strategies Amidst Different People”
July 19th, the day before we landed on the island. 12:36 PM.
The Saint Venus, a 12-story luxury liner, was pushing south-southwest upon the sea.
On the relatively unpopular aft deck of the ship, my girlfriend, Karuizawa Kei, signaled me over with a wave of her hand.
After making sure that there was nobody else around, we stood beside one another and stared out at the sea.
“Such an amazing view, huh…?”
The illumination of the sun on the water’s surface made it sparkle like a studded jewel.
Kei fondly looked out at the ocean, a sense of romance encased in her gaze.
“Didn’t you already see it last year?”
“I mean, I saw a bit of it, but like, the view just wasn’t as important as hanging out with my friends onboard the ship and all.”
