Let's go to Numazu! (Feat. KyanRika and NanaAina)
~
Weeks passed since Anchan and Shuka got back together. They were both back to normal lives with the rest of Aqours.
It was a perfectly good day for all the girls. A perfectly good day to even go somewhere since their livestreams just ended and the director just gave them the rest of the week off.
"Hey, let's all go to Numazu!" Aiai suddenly said
"Why do you wanna go there all of a sudden?" Arisha was the first one to ask
"The director did give us the week off, and Im pretty sure you guys are done with photoshoots" Aiai replied. Aikyan and King grinned at each other before taking Aiai and putting their arms all over the poor girl's shoulder
"I say let's go!" King said, tilting her head upwards with pride as if she really was the proud King of an empire.
"I second that 'let's go'" Aikyan added doing the same thing as King. Rikyako got Aikyan's "let's go" already so without further hesitation Rikyako also said "Same here!" A lot louder than her normal voice which only Aikyan seemed to notice and smiled at her.
"Y-you two, your arms are awfully heavy!" Aiai complained to which the two said girls just shrugged it off.
"They are right after all. Im off of work for the week so why don't we go? What do you think Aina?" Suwawa turned to look at Aina who gave Suwawa a large smile before replying
"Sounds fun!" And grabbing on to Suwawa's arm.
"Im also in!" Arisha added
"Great! We just need Shuka and Anchan to agree. Speaking of which where are those two anyway?" Aiai said while scanning their surroundings for any sign of the said girls. The third years look at each other with a grin as if they don't even need words to tell the other what they were thinking.
"Im pretty sure they're on a date somewhere nearby" Arisha said while still grinning.
"Those two lovebirds" Aikyan and King both said in unison while mentally facepalming themselves.
"For now, let's go in groups and search for them? Not like we have much to do now anyway" Rikyako suggested and Aina gave her a really evil grin.
"Then, if we're going in groups, Aika you go with Rikyako. I go with Suwawa. Arisha, Aiai, and King you three go together" Another evil grin towards Rikyako's way.
"Any objections?" Aina asked
"I don't really mind" Aikyan answered first which Arisha's "Same here" followed to.
"Then it's decided! Let's go Aina" Suwawa took Aina's hand and went out.
"Let's start looking too Rikyako" Aikyan did the same and went after Suwawa and Aina. The three people who are left sweatdropped.
"W-what is it with this group...there are too many ships" Aiai muttered to herself. Arisha heard but not King. With a slight chuckle at her "little sister's" way Arisha then said
"Come on you guys, let's go" before going out and Aiai and King following after all.

Anchan and Shuka didn't stay that long in the studio after their livestream. Instead, they went to this special place Shuka just recently found. And it was indeed special, captivating even. It was a windy afternoon so Anchan was savoring that good touch of the wind on her face as she admired the view. The place wasn't that far from their studio, Anchan was even surprised that Shuka actually found this place since the stairs leading to this particular area was in between two narrow roads that made it really hard to notice. Anchan has to admit, it was beautiful. The view of the city, the blue sky, even nature was present. Fuji wasn't that visible but still beautiful. But Anchan knows that the beauty of this place can't even compare to the beauty of the girl beside her who was admiring the same view. Shuka seemed to notice Anchan staring at her and asked
"What's wrong?" Anchan just merely chuckled and took Shuka's hand in hers
"Just admiring the view" Anchan smiled which Shuka mirrored and gripped Anchan's hand and went closer to her to lean her head on Anchan's shoulder. Anchan reciprocated the gesture by resting her head on top of Shuka's.
They both stayed like that for a while, wrapping themselves in comfortable silence and enjoying each other's company while looking at the breathtaking view.
~
Aikyan and Rikyako went to the nearby cafes and saw not a strand of Shuka and Anchan's hair anywhere.
"Say, where do you think those two are? This is the fourth cafe that's near the studio that we've been to" Rikyako asked, looking around
"They'll probably show up soon" Aikyan casually replied. The both of them walked farther till Aikyan saw a truck that sells crepes.
"Say Rikyako, wanna take a break for a while?" Aikyan asked and Rikyako just nodded in agreement. They both went near the truck.
"I'll have a strawberry crepe please" Rikyako said
"I'll have chocolate" Aikyan followed after. A few minutes passed and both of them got their crepes, sat down and ate their crepes in comfortable silence till they both finished.
"We should probably start looking again" Rikyako said looking at Aikyan. Aikyan giggled at her much to Rikyako's obliviousness.
"W-what?" Rikyako flinched. Aikyan just smiled and reached towards Rikyako's face. Rikyako closed her eyes in embarrassment only to feel Aikyan's hand slide over just above her mouth. When she opened her eyes, Aikyan's index finger was already inside her mouth.
"You got some cream on your face" Aikyan chuckled
"GEEZ!" The flustered Rikyako then stood up and stomped her way to wherever her legs could take her.
~
Suwawa and Aina's search didn't also go that well. Aina kept on getting distracted by the fancy cafes, parks, and other stuff that'd Aina found as date-worthy. Till she couldn't hold it anymore and I actually asked Suwawa to take a break from the search and just rest in a new cafe in town to which the latter agreed to.
So now here they are, inside the said cafe, happily eating their chocolate mousses paired with hot chocolate for Aina and hot matcha for Suwawa.
Aina, having no shame at all, got a piece of her cake and fed Suwawa which Suwawa happily ate. A few moments later, the latter did the same thing to the former and vice versa.

Arisha suddenly felt like an idiot, if it weren't for King stopping her just before she could join this so called "search" she would've been completely fooled.
*flashback*
"Come on you guys let's go!" Arisha said and made her way towards the door if it weren't for King who said
"Wait a minute. Can't we just call them using our phones?"
*end of flashback*
Soooo idiotic, absolutely idiotic. That was what Komiya Arisa felt at the moment. Why would they need to search for them when they can just use their cellphones?! And to think she didn't even thought of it!
"Ashamed. I am absolutely ashamed" If Arisha could just bang her head a few times, she would right now.
"Don't mind don't mind Onee-chan" Aiai said trying to comfort Arisha
"Aiai you call Anchan or Shuka, I'll call Rikyako. Arisha call either Suwawa or Aina" King said and all of them got their phones. Arisha was the first to get an answer from Suwawa
"Yes?" The other line said
"GET BACK HERE NOW!" She suddenly said startling the two members with her and Suwawa
"O-o-okay...?" Suwawa said and that was all Arisha needed to hear before ending the call.
"Wow, she's really pissed" King and Aiai both thought to themselves.
Aiai was next to get an answer from Shuka
"Ah Shuka?" She said first
"Aiai? What's up?" The girl in the other line said
"We're planning to go to Numazu this week. We're gonna plan it out today in the studio, if you and Anchan wants to come then we'll be in the studio" Aiai informed them
"Okay! We're both in! We'll be there in a bit" Shuka energetically said
"Sounds great! See you guys later!" Aiai said before ending the phone and turning to King
"King, did you contact the ship-...err I mean pairs yet?" Aiai asked
"Rikyako's phone is still ringing" King said, her phone in her ear.
A few more rings before Rikyako's loud "YES?!" rang across the room which startled King and Aiai (Arisha is still sulking)
"Uhh umm, I...Arisha wants you two back at the studio. You better hurry up before Arisha loses it" and with that King hangs up
"And with that, we wait" King said and slumped over to where Aiai and Arisha are.
~
"Aina, let's go. Arisha sounds pretty mad" Suwawa said grabbing her phone, putting in her pocket and grabbing Aina's hand before running out of the cafe and towards the studio
~
"What was that about?" Aikyan asked only to be dragged by Rikyako by the hand in a hurry towards the studio.
~
Both the two pairs arrived panting and sweating heavily at the studio, where Komiya Arisa was impatiently waiting. Tapping her foot impatiently while crossing her arms, Arisha irked an eyebrow, staring at her fellow members with evident irritation.
"You guys...." Aiai and King covered their ears and prepared for the worse while the other four did the same.
"THERE WAS NO POINT IN SEARCHING WAS THERE?!" Arisha finally let out
"WE COULD HAVE CALLED THEM USING OUR PHONES! WAS THIS ALL SO YOU GUYS COULD GO ON DATES?!" She added
"Okay okay, calm down Arisha. We didn't thought of using our phones. I guess we all forgot we have phones" Suwawa replied trying to calm Arisha down and the other three behind them nodded their heads in agreement.
"What's going on?" Anchan's voice echoed throughout the studio. Everyone turned around to see Anchan and Shuka arriving.
"Nothing! Every thing is settled! Now let's discuss stuff shall we?" Aiai said and everyone went to grab their own chairs.
~
So everything have been decided already. They're gonna go to Numazu the day after tomorrow so they'll have time to pack. They'll be staying there for at least three days just to enjoy their vacation.
"Want me to help you pack?" Shuka offered to Anchan
"Thanks. But you already have enough in your hands" Anchan replied with a smile
"You're pretty clumsy when it comes to packing Anju, are you sure? You tend to forget things" Shuka teased making Anchan flustered
"S-Shuka!! Geez!!" Anchan pinched Shuka's cheeks not hard enough to hurt to which the latter just laughed it off.
With the two completely oblivious, the two other pairs were watching them even if it was in their peripheral vision and was taking notes mentally.
"Okay you guys, we got the approval from the director. Aiai also contacted the inn we used to stay at. King managed to let us borrow the bus. Guess we're all set" Arisha said arriving with King and Aiai
"If that's all then I better start packing now so I can check them again tomorrow and see that I don't forget anything" Anchan said, letting her tongue out towards Shuka direction. Shuka acted hurt at first but smiled and went closer to Anchan and kissed her cheek much to Anchan's delight so she also mirrored Shuka's smile.
"Okay okay, Im getting diabetes from all of this. Let's leave so we can all prepare already!" Aiai intervened. And with that, they all went their separate ways, for now anyway.

A/N: I seriously tried my best to make this despite the hectic schedule at school. I'll probably be updating 3-4 days interval for each other but I'll try to make long ones each so I can make it all up to you ;~; Hope you guys liked this one too!
