Chapter 2 || the festival

«told in rokuro's point of view»

WHEN we arrived home I decided to rest on my room while Benio takes a quick rinse in the shower.

I laid on my bed and stared at the plain ceiling and it was then when my stomach called out for food.

"I guess I'm a bit of hungry"I said and stood up and walk downstairs towards the fridge.

I opened the fridge but no saw no food present.

"Sorry Rokuro I forgot that I was now my turn to cook dinner."She said heading to the kitchen.

"Wait!"I said blocking her way.

she looked at me with a raised brow.

"Let's just buy food outside."I said to her.

"It's okay,I'll just cook."She replied and began finding ingredients.

"But I think you're tired! So let's just buy food outside together!"

"Together?"

It was then when we went to the outdoors to eat.
As we were going to a near by restaurant we passed to a night festival

"WHOA! A festival! Benio,let's eat at the food stalls!"I said

"Hmm I don't see why not"She agreed.

I treated her to some food that was served in the stalls and played a game in which you catch fishes
With thin paper
I ended up sucking at the game but Benio catched a few but she gave them to the others anyway,she is very kind.
We rested on a corner and ate ohagi

"Wow it's been a long time since we've eaten like this"I said to her

Benio responds with a nod while she is eats ohagi

"Is there festivals in the island?"I ask curiously

She nodded

"But differently you can see people enjoying from the bottom of their hearts but the people from the island you can't see them smile.....not one bit..."Benio said looking down

"That's sad"I said

"Rokuro....I'm sorry even though you treated me to some food I can't still smile from the bottom of my heart"She said almost cutting her words

Then that gave me an idea

"Wait here"I said and ran away from her direction,leaving her dumbfounded.
