Chapter 3: Prologue (Part 3)

Arriving there 15 minutes after, we entered the room. It was still the same as always as we left it last week. I sat down on the sofa and sighed for a bit, as I felt my legs shaking a bit.

“I guess I’m lacking exercise.”

“What makes you say that?” Kakiko said as she sat down on the chair of her workplace.

“My legs are killing me.”

“Well, just rest up for now and I’ll be finish with the storyline in a bit.”

“Okay.” I lied down on the sofa stretching out my worn out legs, moving my toes as a form of relief exercise.

“By the way Seto, what do you want to eat for dinner?”

“Eh? You’re going to cook?”

“That sounded as if my cooking doesn’t delight you.” She stops writing and glares at me.

“N-no, I didn’t mean it that way, but aren’t we going to just buy food and have them deliver it there?”

“O-oh, well I want to eat something from the convenience store for a change.” She then takes out her purse as if she was looking if she had enough money.

“What do you want? I’ll buy them for you.”

“So… you’re treating me?” she said as she hides her purse.

“Yeah, so what do you want?”

“Hmm… a sweet bean pan and a can of coffee would do.”

“I see. Well I’ll be going then.”

“So soon? It’s still early Seto.”

“Yeah, but I figured you’d be done already when I get back from buying at the store; it’ll be time wise to buy now.” I explained myself to her.

“Eh… I didn’t know you were capable of thinking so maturely, Seto.” She smirks a bit.

“H-hey, that was a bit insulting.”

“Sorry, sorry. I was just teasing you is all.” She giggles afterwards.

“Well, I’ll be back soon.” I left the studio and took my bike with me. I look at my cell phone and it was already 5:14 in the afternoon; I rode off after placing my phone back in my side pocket.

The convenience store was near the school, I had to pass towards the river side from earlier this morning. Still, I was amazed with the beauty of the falling sakura leaves. The cold breeze as I pedal away during the night was nice. Once more, this stunning sight almost made me collide with someone ahead of me. Somehow, that incident from earlier made me press on the breaks this time which lead to me skidding pass by the person soon tumbling down on the ground.

I somehow hit my face on the ground first.

“I-I’m sorry! Are you okay?!” the person said, coming to my rescue.

“T-that could’ve been a lot worse…” I said to myself as I lay down face up on the sidewalk.

“Eh? Kai?” the voice seems familiar. Looking at the person, it was the girl whom I bumped earlier.

“Nono?”

“It’s Nonokai to you.” She then kneels down at my side.

“R-right sorry…”

She immediately laughs out a bit as if she was holding it for a while.

“Is something funny?”

“O-oh, it’s nothing. Sorry. Well can you stand?” she stands up and offers me her hand. I took it and helped myself stand back up.

“What are you doing here?” I asked her.
