Chapter 31: English Conversation Practice and the Airplane

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“That’s coming along nicely. Even if you don’t try to follow grammar perfectly, you’re getting your point across well enough. Body language is effective too. Even if it’s a little awkward, there are times when people can understand what you mean through gestures.”

“I see. Then do I not really need to learn American-specific expressions or anything like that?”

“That’s true. In that case, let’s end here for today, and starting tomorrow, in addition to our usual practice, we’ll study slang and similar things as well.”

“Yes, thank you again for today, Sensei.”

My English tutor was Serena-san. It had already been a month since I decided to study abroad, and my English studies were going fairly smoothly. Serena-san adjusted her speaking speed to match that of native speakers, so at first I couldn’t understand anything at all, but recently I had at least become able to understand and respond.

In one more month, I would be in an environment where everyone around me was a foreigner. If I didn’t reach the point where I could handle daily conversation, the short two-week period might end up being completely wasted.

“If you only talk with me, you might pick up some strange habits, so starting tomorrow, let’s practice with someone from another country. I’ll choose the partner.”

“That makes sense. Do you think I can get to a good level in one more month?”

“At your current pace, there shouldn’t be any problems. Is it Ayano’s training after this? Please do your best.”

“Yeah. Thanks, Serena-san.”

“Then please give me a kiss on the cheek. It’s a common greeting overseas, so hurry! Ayano will be here soon!”

“Eh—r-really?”

“Hehe. Thank you very much, Tsuyoshi-sama. I feel energized now.”

“Oh… then that’s good.”

~*~*~*~

“Did Serena do anything strange to you?”

“Something strange? Hmm, she taught me about overseas greetings today.”

“…She didn’t tell you that kissing is a greeting, did she?”

“Yeah, she did. How did you know?”

“Tch… that woman… Tsuyoshi-sama, that’s something you see in Europe or Central and South America. It’s not common at your study-abroad destination. Please don’t take it seriously.”

“Yeah… got it.”

She was genuinely angry. She actually looked kind of scary.

“Well then, let’s get back to training. That said, since your study abroad is only a month away, we can’t do anything too intense… Let’s stick to light jogging and light weight training.”

After finishing the light strength training, we were jogging.

“Your English studies seem to be going well. That’s good to hear.”

“Yeah, thanks to Serena-san. Have you ever been to America, Ayano-san?”

“Yes. My alma mater is in the United States. There are schools there that specialize in training exclusive bodyguards for men, so I sometimes went to teach as the top exclusive bodyguard candidate.”

“There’s a school like that?”

“It’s apparently extremely rigorous. Out of a thousand students who enroll, only about ten remain by graduation.”

“Wait, that few? What happens to the people who give up?”

“The vast majority become non-exclusive bodyguards. The selection for exclusive guards is extremely strict, but general bodyguard selection isn’t quite as severe.”

There really are some incredible schools out there, huh?

“Shall we wrap things up soon? Just breaking a light sweat is enough.”

“Yeah, you’re right. So… Who’s going to shower first?”

“Please go ahead. I’ll join you after I put the equipment away.”

So it’s already decided that we’re showering together…

“Uh… I’ll help you clean up.”

“Hehe. Thank you, Tsuyoshi-sama. I’ll be sure to wash you very thoroughly.”

~*~*~*~

“Alright, good work. Next, let’s try talking with someone other than me for a few minutes. I’ve already found a partner, so please wait a moment.”

『Ah—ah, hello. Nice to meet you.』

“Hey! Tsuyoshi Hasegawa-kun, nice to meet you! Let’s start with introductions!”

The person on the screen was a woman in her forties or fifties. I felt like I had met her somewhere before… No. I had a feeling I had talked to her too, but… Where was it?

“Yes. My name is Tsuyoshi Hasegawa. I’m currently studying English. Thank you for your time today.”

『Mm-hm! An ‘S.S’ rank man! I know you! Now it’s my turn. I’m Grace Eleanor! I’m currently serving as the President of the United States! Nice to meet you!』

Huh? No way. No… It’s not a joke. I remember now.

After the certification ceremony, she was the one who kept persistently saying, “Please come to our country!” I knew she was someone important, but she was the President of the United States?

“What?! You’re the President of the United States?!”

『Hahaha! I’m glad you’re surprised. I’m close friends with Serena’s mother, Sophia and of course, I know Serena too. When I heard Serena was looking for an English conversation partner for an ‘S.S’ rank man, I volunteered.』

“I see… that really surprised me! Are you on a break from work right now, Madam President?”

『No, no. Practicing with you is entirely on my private time. Conversations with you take priority over many kinds of work. Also, drop the stiff title ‘President.’ Call me Eleanor or Grace, whichever you like.』

“Hmm… Then I’ll call you Eleanor-san.”

『Yes, yes! That’s perfect. How’s school life? I’ve heard the school you attend is quite rare worldwide, with nearly equal numbers of boys and girls.』

We talked for quite a while. Eleanor-san would steer the conversation, I’d listen and respond, and then I’d ask questions in return. It was really good practice. Unlike Serena-san, who prioritized clarity, Eleanor-san’s English was more casual, so it felt much closer to actual local conversation.

『Well, it’s about time. I’ll be counting on you again tomorrow.』

“Yes, thank you very much. I look forward to it tomorrow as well!”

I was incredibly nervous. She was the President of the United States. I’d never heard of anyone using the U.S. President as their English conversation practice partner.

“Was it a good practice?”

“Yeah, it was really good practice. Did you connect me with Eleanor-san, Serena-san?”

“Hmm, not me. It was my mother. Finding someone who could reliably maintain secrecy and confidentiality was difficult, so when I consulted her, it ended up being President Eleanor.”

“…From now on, please consult me first.”

And so the practice continued, and at last, tomorrow was the day I would depart for my study abroad.

『Mm-hm! This is quite good. You’re handling even fairly difficult conversations without any problems. Honestly…Who would’ve thought that both your penis and your intellect level is this exceptional…』

“Hahaha. Thank you very much, Eleanor-san. It’s thanks to you.”

『Is that so? If you say so. You’ll be arriving here tomorrow at 10 a.m. our time, right?』

“Yes. It looks like the plane departs around 10 or 11 p.m. today. After about a twelve-hour flight, I’ll arrive there.”

『I see, I see. I’m wishing you a safe flight. Shall we end here for today? You must have preparations to make.』

“Yes. Thank you again today! Let’s meet in America tomorrow!”

『Mm. I’m looking forward to it. See you!』

With that, the call ended. Preparation-wise, all that remained was putting my belongings into my suitcase, so maybe I’d rest until around 8 p.m. I’d play some fighting games, which was my recent hobby, with Aoi-san.

“Tsuyoshi-sama, it’s about time to head to the airport.”

“Ah, right. Okay, Ayano-san. Let’s go.”

After a forty-minute drive, we arrived at an airport in Tokyo.

“By the way, are we taking a private jet again?”

“No. This time, President Eleanor asked us to use a certain aircraft.”

“President Eleanor?”

“There’s only one plane the U.S. President would send. I don’t think there’s a safer aircraft in the world than that one.”

The plane was that famous? Momiji-san looked a little restless though?

“Is it really that well-known?”

“Of course it is! It’s the presidential aircraft! Only a handful of people in the world have ever ridden it!”

At the airport, we were guided by staff to a place that I didn’t really understand but looked incredibly luxurious.

“This place looks really high-end.”

“Y-yeah. I’ve never been somewhere like this before.”

“Normal people can’t ever come to a place like this in their lifetime.”

Aoi-san looked nervous, while Serena-san seemed completely used to it.

“Hasegawa-sama, boarding preparations are complete. Please come this way.”

Is that the plane?

I climbed the stairs and entered. I didn’t really understand, but it looked amazing. The first time I ever rode a plane was when I went to England, and I hadn’t used one since, so I didn’t really know what to compare it to.

Luxurious-looking sofas and seats were lined up inside.

“Hey, hey! You made it, Tsuyoshi-kun! I’ve been waiting!”

There stood Eleanor-san—President Eleanor herself—the person I’d spoken with every day for the past month during English practice.

“W-why are you here, Eleanor-san?”

“This is the presidential aircraft, you know? Apparently I heard that even for you, Tsuyoshi-kun, it wouldn’t be appropriate to let you board it without me present. It’s only a few hours, but I’ll be in your care.”

I don’t really get it, but…

“Yes! Please take care of me.”

Eleanor-san and I shook hands.
