Campione! Vol 4 Chapter 1
Chapter 1 - In Search of Lost Time
Part 1
In a group that is comprised mainly of females, there is someone sticking
out like a sore thumb. A single male.
If someone should think that they would be super happy or "This world is
too perfect", then there is something seriously wrong with them.
Recently, G.o.dou had started to have this kind of viewpoint upon his
situation.
All in all, his shoulders felt very heavy, his mood was not good at all and he
felt very uneasy.
G.o.dou had no idea why he had to leave j.a.pan and come all the way here
to Sardinia, Italy for his summer vacation.
The layout of the island was similar to Shikoku (j.a.pan), and was also
famous for being a summer vacation tourist spot.
Because of the surrounding emerald-blue seas, it grew to fame as a tourist
spot as celebrities frequently came here for vacations.
Originally, G.o.dou and company had intended to stay on the area around
the western coast.
As the airport was very close to Alghero, there were also many attractions
nearby.
There were quite a few gothic, baroque and renaissance style buildings
which served as world heritage sites.
Lastly, to trump everything else, the breathtakingly beautiful beaches and
seas.
Except for the fact that its slightly hotter than what would be comfortable,
this would be the perfect vacation spot.
Even so, G.o.dous mood had not improved much.
And all of it was due to being surrounded by females. From the time he
arrived until the current moment, four days have already pa.s.sed. In this
time, G.o.dou had not even a day of peace.
For example, this morning -
In a room in the villa they had rented, after a refreshing wake-up, G.o.dou
had headed to the bathroom.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, someone had sprung a
surprise attack against him from the back.
Gagged, handcuffed and blindfolded, he was brought outside the villa and
placed upon something like a rubber dinghy.
About twenty minutes had pa.s.sed.
Taking the rubber dinghy to the sea, G.o.dou was finally released from his
bindings, and was given a ridiculous explanation.
"Finally, we can be alone together, G.o.dou. Ive been looking forward to
this."
The voice expectedly came from Erica Blandelli.
Twirling her blond hair with her hands and giving off an expression of
absolute happiness, G.o.dou somehow felt like he was swooning, and
began his retort.
"No way is this a situation where we can be alone together, isnt it more
like a kidnapping?"
"Thats not it... Because, its all your fault that this happened."
Erica replied, still maintaining her immaculate smile.
In heaven and earth, I am the one and only, once said by Siddhartha
Gautama Buddha^^^. This young girls actions had always seemed to be
inspired from that phrase, hence G.o.dou was already used to it.
"Whatever sins I have committed to deserve this fate, please tell me all
about it. I would like to have a peaceful life in the future."
"Of course, it is the sin of not wanting us to be together alone."
Upon the first day of arrival, G.o.dou had already been a victim of Ericas
relentless and ferocious hugging.
After that, he had taken extreme caution not to be caught in a situation
where he was alone with Erica.
Will I be able to return in one piece? Did the chicken or the egg come first?
in order to prevent a tragedy and taking preventive measures, in the end it
would still lead to the same tragedy. If whatever I do will result in the same
ending, then isnt life just cruel and meaningless?
... G.o.dou fell into deep thought, attempting to escape from reality via his
random inner monologue.
The Erica who was naturally wearing a swimsuit temptingly gazed at
G.o.dou, her swimsuit revealing -a lot- of skin.
Their skin came in contact intimately, her face gradually getting closer and
her mesmerizing lips slowly closed the distance.
Not good. To continue escaping reality would result in fatality. To be
specific, it would not be strange for it to end in an engagement to Erica in
three days.
Comparing their physical strength, combat would not be a viable option.
From her combat capability, G.o.dou would already be hanging by a thread.
Even in a war of attrition, stamina would only be slowly chipped away. If
that was the case, then he would entrust everything to that instance of
battle.
The amorously approaching Erica had relaxed her guard, and it was at this
moment that he took action.
"Ah, hold on a moment G.o.dou! After coming this far with me, where are
you planning on going?"
"Sorry, but Im going to head back by myself. Dont follow me!"
Stripping off his shirt, he focused on the sh.o.r.e in the far distance amidst
the rolling waves.
With all his might, he swam, not stopping even for a brief moment.
On the endless sea, he swam towards the sh.o.r.e which seemed like a
mirage in the desert. Not just his body, even his spirit was suffering from
this ordeal.
Finally, after what seemed like eternity, he finally managed to reach the
rented villa.
Mariya Yuri and Lucretia Zola were waiting togetlier for liinn.
"G.o.dou-san, wliere on eartli liave you been tiiis morning?"
