Quintessential Disaster

46: Helping Hand

Akira: So that is a thing.

Ryo: Eh?

Akira: Nothing. Just remembering something from awhile ago.

Futaro: I wonder what.

Ryo: Don't be sarcastic, I know you know so spill it.

???: Um, excuse me.

The boys look over to see a boy standing there.

Akira: Yes?

???: Um, can you, help me order something.

.

Ryo: What did he say?

Maeda: No clue.

Futaro: He wants a drink.

Takeda: What is an English speaking boy doing all alone?

Let me explain, the boys sitting here have encountered something rare. A instance of a foreigner lost, and hungry.

This boy left the safety of his family to go inside a shop full of flashy things, but didn't know his family wasn't with him. When he walked out, he was alone.

Listening to his parents teachings, he stayed there, but now is hungry. He walked in the café but being American, doesn't know the language. This is what he hears -

Ryo: Watashi kore o eta. Hell-O, lit boy, what's you want?

Futaro: Kare o kowagara senaide.

Ryo: Sorry, say again?

Boy: Um, can you help me order something? I don't know Japanese, so, I can't read it.

Takeda: Ahh! By all means, little boy, what do you desire?

Akira Thinking: His English is actually really good.

Boy: H-Hot Chocolate.

Takeda: Of course, come with me.

The blonde gets up and walks away with the kid. Akira also does.

Takeda: I got this.

Akira: I speak English too you know.

Boy: Wow, I asked the right people then!

Akira: Yes, you did. Now, where are your parents? Did you get lost?

Takeda: Hotto chokoreeto kudasai.

Boy: Yes I did. I thought they were with me but they must have left me.

Akira: It is ok, Kyoto is big, but we are in a small area. They will come back soon. Let us wait outside so they can see us.

Boy: Ok.

They walk outside and stand by the side of the street.

Boy: It looks crowded.

Akira: It is ok. It can be worse.

Boy: Wow.

Akira: First time in Japan?

Boy: Yeah, we're on vacation.

Akira Thinking: This time in the year?

Takeda: Here you go.

Boy: Thank you!

Takeda: Of course.

???: JONATHAN!?!? JONATHAN!?

Takeda: Is that you?

Boy: Yes!

Akira: Right here!!

He waves his arm in the air. A family runs over as a woman hugs the boy.

Woman: Jonathan!!

Man: Thank you two for helping our son.

Akira: No problem.

Woman: Thank you so much!

Man: Where are your parents.

Akira: She is back in Nagoya.

Takeda: We are on a Trip.

Man: I see. Thank you so much.

Jonathan: Bye, thank you!

Akira: See ya kid.

Takeda: Enjoy Japan.

The two parties split. Now the boys go back to Japanese.

Takeda: You seem to be good with kids. Do you like them?

Akira: Honestly no, but I have a sister around his age. I'd want someone to help her if she was lost.

Takeda: I see. I myself don't have a strong opinion on them.

Akira: Hmm. Let's just get back and make a plan for today.

Clap clap

Maeda: What the hell is this place?

Futaro: What does it look like?

Akira: It's a shrine. The god of scholars to be exact.

Maeda: Oh, I see.

Takeda: Maeda, I can't bare to see you're grades, so make sure to pray extra hard.

Ryo: PFF!!

A/N: IM SO SORRY EVERYONE!!!

Who knew school would be such a pain. I'm actually trying to do good so I haven't been writing a lot so.

The girls once again don't make it into a chapter! I love the boys, and it's perfect that where's five. In the anime/manga they make it clear it's groups of 5, but the group is Futaro, Takeda, and Maeda. So Akira and Ryo are perfect!

Anyways, hope everyone has a good day and look forward to the next post.
