Oaklum, Western port area.
8:00 PM.
Standing at the dock, the group looked at the scene in front of them with a surprised look on their faces.
As if satisfied by their expressions, Zach nodded his head and said in a proud tone.
"Behold! This is the private yacht of my family!... I have arranged a night dinner party for you guys on this yacht!" (Zach)
"Oh! Nice!" (Riya)
Even Link and Liam who were both rich, had to nod their head in approval.
After all, Link and Liam's families indeed had yachts but they were rarely ever used.
Moreover, most of the time these kinds of yachts are usually used to hold parties for adults, thus Link and Liam also haven't attended a party on a yacht either.
Rio also nodded his head at Zach's choice of place.
"Senpai, you really know how to make people admire you!" (Liam)
"Hehe, well of course!... this yacht was bought by my two older brothers collectively, and now it's being used by them to entertain important guests…" (Zach)
"Currently they both are on a business trip, so I got the chance to use it for myself today!" (Zach)
"Hehe, truthfully speaking I haven't been to this yacht before either, this is my first time having fun on, usually it's always busy entertaining guests, but our luck is good today! Hehe~" (Zach)
While Zach spoke, a few servants lowered a staircase from the yacht and the group of students started to get on board.
As they all walked to the dining area, Zach talked about his family background in depth.
It turns out, that Zach's parents are both owners of major companies in Oaklum City, and due to this, Zach is basically a second-generation rich young master.
Although not comparable to the ultra-rich like Link, Zach has lived his childhood in luxury and familial love.
He has two older brothers and a younger sister. While his older brothers are married and have their own families to take care of, his younger sister is still in school and hasn't become an awakener yet.
Zach's parents are not much talented in terms of awakener and thus they are both B-rankers, and even his older brothers have barely reached rank 'A-'.
Zach is the first person in their family to have the potential of 'S' rank. Due to this, he has been adored by his family a lot.
You could say that Zach is basically living the dream life of most people.
His family loves and supports him, but he has no responsibility to take care of, as his older brothers are doing it for him and he even has good potential as an awakener.
(Zach has both parents who love him and spend a lot of time with him, in this aspect even Link is not his opponent…)
Compared to the likes of Riko, Rio, or Lia, Zach has lived a very good life.
While listening to Zach explaining about his background, even Rio felt a bit jealous of him.
A question arose in Rio's heart that he had always contemplated.
'I wonder, what a mother's love feels like…' (Rio)
…
Yacht, dining area.
After walking for a few seconds everyone arrived at the dining area and sat down on their respective seats.
Looking outside the windows, it was already night, the bright moonlight shined and the starry sky made the view from this place look extremely beautiful.
The captain personally came down from the deck and introduced the ship to them.
"Our esteemed guest, welcome! This Yacht has been named 'Evening Glow' and I am the captain! I wish you all my most heartfelt welcome!" (Captain)
"Well then, now we will sail for tonight!" (Captain)
After announcing that, the captain went back, he seemed to have ordered his subordinates to get back to work.
A few minutes later the yacht quietly left the port in the darkness of night.
Half an hour later, the yacht stopped at an area that was not too far or close to the city.
Now everyone could see the night view of Oaklum from the windows.
"The captain knows how to choose a good scenery, heh.. " (Liam)
Zach nodded his head at Liam's words and replied in a happy tone.
"Yes, he has been working as a captain for more than twenty years after all…" (Zach)
The gentle breeze of wind entered through the windows and made them feel refreshed.
Under the starry sky, the bustling city of Oaklum had thousands of lights shining in the night, which made it look like a blessed land.
"Whoa! The scenery here is so beautiful!" (Riya)
Riya hurriedly brought out her smartphone and took some photos of the scenery.
Although Riya was disturbing the quiet atmosphere, no one said anything to stop her, after all, everyone else was also as surprised as her while looking at this scenery.
"Now that I have seen this amazing scene myself, I guess I will have to visit this yacht more frequently in the future��� hehe~" (Zach)
As Zach was visiting this place for the first time, he was also just as surprised as the others were.
While they were all busy staring at the scenery, the servants weren't just standing idly, they slowly brought food and various sweets.
Well-decorated food and drinks, tasty-looking side dishes, and the sweet smell of the sweets, all this when added to this divine scenery made this dinner party even more remarkable.
*Music starts in the background*
On the stage nearby, a pianist started to play a calm and gentle melody.
His great piano skills caused everyone to feel refreshed.
With all of these things added together in one place, the excitement of the group reached its peak.
"Okay, everyone, it's time to enjoy the food!" (Zach)
"I have been waiting for it!" (Riya)
Everyone nodded their heads at Zach and started to enjoy the food while listening to the music playing in the background.
The melody played by the pianist seemed to have added yet another charm to the scenery and thus all of them couldn't help but glance at the scenery every once in a while as they ate.
The memories of this dinner will remain in the heads of them all, forever.
…
10:00 PM.
Resting area.
"Ugh, I ate so much… I feel like I am about to burst apart like a balloon…" (Riya)
Riya lay on the couch lazily as she rubbed her tummy with a look of satisfaction. She seems to have eaten a lot today.
Link who was sitting on another couch nearby shook his head helplessly.
'It's a good thing that Raji isn't here, otherwise if she saw her eating so much, she would have definitely scolded us both for being so uncivilized…' (Link)
Riya has always had this habit of stuffing herself with too much food.
One time she choked on food so badly that she nearly ended up suffocating to death. After that incident, Raji seemed to have become very anxious about Riya's overeating habits.
She always lectures Link for not stopping Riya on time.
'She will say something like…' (Link)
'I know that Riya is quite immature and it's pointless to make her behave…' (Link)
'but you are mature and intelligent, you should keep an eye on her Link, stop her from eating too much whenever she goes crazy over sweets!' (Link)
Although Link knew that it was all for Riya's sake, he just couldn't do it.
'How am I supposed to stop her when she looks so happy while nibbling on those sweets!? It's too addicting to watch her enjoy the food!!' (Link)
Regardless of Raji's complaints, Link was simply helpless. Logic tells him to stop Riya, but his heart always seems to be interfering with his decisions.
While Link was shaking his head helplessly, Riya who was totally unaware of his concerns immediately fell asleep.
When Link noticed her sleeping so carefreely, he shook his head and got up from the couch.
Just when Link was thinking about taking a stroll around the yacht, Riya suddenly started to talk.
"mmgh…. Link, that's my pillow…" (Riya)
Link squinted his eyes at Riya's words.
'I became a pillow thief in her dreams.... tch! The dream version of me must be quite despicable to have taken her pillow…' (Link)
Thinking this far, Link walked over to Riya's head, gently lifted her head sat down on the couch, and then placed Riya's head on his lap.
'I guess a lap pillow can also be considered a pillow right?...' (Link)
After Link put her head on his lap, Riya seemed to feel more comfortable and safe, she immediately started to smile in her sleep.
'Hmph! I won't let you win, the dream version of me! It's my win!' (Link) (It turns out he was competing with his own dream version all along…)
After seeing Riya smile, Link was satisfied he placed his head on the sofa and relaxed too.
Eventually, he also fell asleep under the caress of that gentle wind breeze.
Even the stars and moon seemed to be blessing this sleeping couple as their shine fell on Link and Riya's sleeping faces.
Sleeping peacefully in the arms of your loved ones, if this isn't paradise then what else is?
