Chapter 237 Resort
After about 15 minutes of bus ride when the setting sun finally shot it\'s final dying rays atop the western hills, the bus which was carrying the players of Japan national U17 team stopped at the entrance of the resort where they were going to spend their night.
The entrance leading to the main building of the resort was huge. Made up of metal, it was coated with gold paint and just like a gate to a mansion owned by nobles, different intricate patterns carved in the metallic gate was making it seem quite opulent.
However at the moment the gate was closed.
Honk!! Honk!!
The bus driver honked few times to alert the guards about their arrival.
Hearing the irritating sound of the horn, although the guards of the resort didn\'t arrive immediately, few players inside the bus immediately woke up from their slumber and started to grumble irritatedly.
"Ahm... Please stop!"
"Yawn.... Are we there?"
Evidently most of them were suffering from jetlag and right now they\'d eat a horse for a chance to get a peaceful sleep.
Few players covered their ears as they buried their face in the clothes which they were using to block the shade.
Hiro on the other hand was captivated by the silhouette of the castle like resort located at a certain distance away from him.
\'Damn!! That\'s the resort we are staying in today? That\'s more like a castle than a resort\' thought Hiro while looking at the silhouette of the mansion glowing with lights, located at a certain distance away from him.
Finally after few seconds, the guards of the resort arrived infront of the bus and checked few things before opening the main gate of the resort.
As the gate split open, bus driver stepped on the gas pedal and the bus started moving once again.
It was already dark outside and the pathway leading to the resort was lit by beautiful lampposts.
Lush green bushes and flower beds which were planted at either side of the pathway further accentuated the beauty of the paved pathway leading to the main building of the resort.
Looking at the view outside the window, Hiro felt like he was seated inside a luxurious carriage moving along a flower paved pathway leading to a majestic castle.
In the west horizon, the once molten clouds had now lost their glow and the once bright sky was now filled with the shimmering lights of the flickering stars.
And relatively high up in the sky among the stars, crescent moon hung freely, casting it\'s luminous glow across the surface and the entire night sky.
May be it\'s because the resort was built in such a remote place or may be not many guests were staying in the resort right now, nothing much could be heard other than the moving sound of the vehicle and rustling sound of wind as it made contact with the leaves of the trees and plants.
It was quite peaceful.
Buzz!! Buzz!!
Occasionally buzzing noises of cicada and different nocturnal insects could also be heard.
The more closer the bus got to the main building, the more clearer the sight of the main building got.
Lit by countless lights, decorated artistically with marbles, it\'s walls were well polished and coloured beautifully.
It\'s corridors lit by expensive chandeliers which hung freely in it\'s ceilings. Beautifully sculpted white pillars which supported it\'s frame made it look like a luxurious mansion straight out of a fantasy world.
And just infront of the three-storey villa which stretched far and wide, a medium sized fountain was erected.
Finally as the bus arrived at the front door, it stopped. And as the bus stopped, the automatic door of the bus opened with the push of a button.
One of the coach who was seated at the front row got up and began to wake up the players, "Everyone get up. We are here. Without any further delay, exit the bus one by one in a queue without pushing"
Some players started to stretch their hands as they spoke, "Argh... Finally!!"
"Damn!! That was a long bus ride"
"It\'s only been 45 minutes"
Chattering such, one by one everybody started to exit the bus. Some took quite a lot of time because of their luggage while some took time arranging their stuffs.
Eventually after 5 minutes, as everybody boarded off the bus, coach Kazan started taking attendance of the players.
And while coach Kazan was taking attendance, an elderly man dressed in fine clothes walked out of the villa followed by few other people who seemed like staffs working in the resort, wearing a bright amicable smile on his face. Evidently that elderly man was the owner of the resort.
Now one may wonder, why the owner of the resort came in person to greet them. Afterall they weren\'t neither famous celebrities nor VIP\'s. But it wasn\'t to greet the players or any other person. That owner had walked out in person to greet his acquaintance who happened to be manager Haruki.
Well coach Haruki was a reputed coach, so it wasn\'t that strange for him to be acquainted with the owner of the resort.
Who knows what sort of connections, he\'s got? However one thing was certain, he was definitely someone who couldn\'t be trifled with.
During the process of taking attendance, while looking at the scene of the owner of the resort talking amicably with manager Haruki, Hiro finally understood the reason behind them staying in such a luxurious resort.
With national team\'s budget how could they afford to stay in such an opulent looking resort?
But the scene of the owner and manager Haruki talking amicably, answered all his doubts.
After some moments, all of the players were led to their room.
While walking along the hallway and path leading to their room, players of the national team passed through many majestic statues, armours, expensive paintings and expensive decorations.
Passing through such lavish decorations, many player\'s jaws dropped time and again as they walked past those decorations.
Sure enough one thing was certain, the resort they were staying in was definitely out of their budget under normal circumstances.
