The phones were returned to us after 2 weeks. Seeing them again, many students gladly eased up.

For those living in the present age, the phone was an indispensable tool. The ratio of people between the ages of 10 and 20 who had a smartphone as of 2020 surpassed 99%. Looking at the world, that was true beyond reasonable doubt.

For me, who had only begun keeping a phone after entering highschool, it wasnt high on my list of necessities yet. But that was just a matter of time.

The luxury cruiser gracefully sailed through the seas and allowed the students to have a short summer break.

Reflecting on last year, I hadnt truly enjoyed summer break.

People who I could call friends. Someone to be my lover.

Not just to the extent of being acquaintances, but to the extent of being able to call each others names. The number of those students.

Whichever category, that number was leaps and bounds more than last year, incomparably so.

The time spent on this ship will become another page of unforgettable memories for me and the students.

It was fine to enjoy the pool as much as one wanted. It was also fine to eat luxurious food and to chat with friends on the deck with a sweeping view of the ocean. But that didnt mean that it was okay to do anything one wanted.

It was necessary to enjoy within the boundaries of set rules.

For example, after 10 o clock in the evening, it was forbidden to leave your room without any special circumstances.

It seems that the rules have become considerably more strict than last year.

These special circumstances include sudden health complications at night.

In such a case, the person should come to the doctors office, which is open 24 hours a day.

There probably werent any students who would violate the rules, but since they generally had suitably harsh punishments, no problematic students would appear anyway.

Even after that, the floors that students could enter at night were decided beforehand. It isnt as if people could go anywhere they wanted to. Even within the floors they could enter, there were areas they couldnt enter.

Now, lets observe moderation and enjoy cruising for one week.
