Aya : Oh damn it!Mika you rode too fast!!

Mika : You were the one who asked me to speed at the turn just now (removing her helmet)

Aya : (removing her helmet) Goodness,I thought I was gonna get thrown off the bike when you suddenly brake!

Mika : Don’t worry,you are still living.Come lets get those dashi stock.I suppose we can just carry them in the bag.

Aya : Takeru must have forgotten to order them last night.We are out of them!

Mika: Good riddance I am here (grinning)

SAKURAKO INN

Shinn : Have you called her?

Hiiro : I did-

Suddenly Hiiro’s phone rang and Haruna’s name appeared on the screen

Hiiro : It’s Odera-san. Hello?

Haruna : Mizuhara-san! I am so so sorry I couldn’t pick you your call.I am very very busy at the moment.

Hiiro : Where are you anyway?

Haruna : We are at a shop,working!

Hiiro : Wait,what? Working?Did you say working?

Shinn : Working?

Haruna : Yes,yes!I’ll call you back bye!

Before Hiiro could ask where and why Haruna ended the call.Hiiro stared at his phone as if his phone had grown thorns

Hiiro : What the heck?Did she just--

Shinn : Did you say working?

Hiiro : I don’t understand this girl.

Shinn : You can never understand women.Anyway,done with your stuffs?I am quite famished.

Hiiro : Speaking of that,I am craving for something hot.Since the weather is quite cold.

Shinn : I guess Sakurako-san can help us.

HIiro and Shinn locked their door and went to the reception counter of the inn.Sakurako-san is there and Hiiro walked straight to her.

Hiiro : Sorry to disturb you Sakurako-san.

Sakurako : Eh no no its okay young man.How can I help you?

Hiiro : Is there any nearby shop that serves something with soup?A ramen shop or anthing that is just walking distance?

Sakurako : Yes there are ! If you walk along the road to the left,and walk further down and turn right you’ll find a ramen shop owned by a couple.They serves the best soba and omurice! And if you turn to your left,you’ll fina small cabin café that serves western cuisine such as pastries and bread. And if you walk further up,which is your right,you’ll reach the small town (smiles)

Shinn : Omurice?Sounds good.(smiles)

Sakurako : Really really,you wont regret eating there.Takeru-san is a very good cook!

Hiiro : Oh well then,we shall go to the ramen shop then.Thank you for the help Sakurako-san (smiles)

Sakurako : Becareful walking there !*bowing

AYA’S SHOP

Caroline : Irraishaimase!!!!

Haruna : Caroline!Lower your voice!

Caroline : Welcome welcome!How many people?

Haruna sighed as Caroline ignored her and kept on welcoming all the people who came in with a very cheerful voice and everyone seems to be shocked to see her.Perhaps,to have a red haired,blue eyed and tall girl welcoming them to the shop that day is something they didn’t expect

Customer : Sumimasen,Can I have another bowl of rice?

Haruna : (turned around) Yes yes.I’ll take it for you.(smiles)

Caroline : Thank you,please come again *bowing

Haruna : 2 omurice?and 2 green tea?Is that all ?(smiles)

Customer : Is it possible for you to add miso soup together?

Haruna : Of course no problem!(smiles)

Caroline was everywhere in the shop taking care of the customers while Haruna sends all the orders to the kitchen.It was indeed a busy day for them as many customers came to the shop that time

CONVENIENT STORE

Aya : Alright (zipping her shopiing bag)

Mika : You got everything?

Aya : Yes!Alright,lets go!

Mika : Don’t forget to put wear the helmet Takeru asked you to wear!

Aya : Hai hai captain(grinning)

As Mika and Aya got onto the bike,Mika quickly rode away as they must not be long because the only one cooking is Takeru and it wont be long before people starts coming in for early lunch.

Mika rode along the main road and passed by the Sakurako Inn and she realized several people walking along the side ways and she spotted two guys walking along the way.She thought they look familiar but she just ignored them headed straight to the shop.

Mika parked her bike infront of the shop instead of the usual spot.She usually parked her bike behind the shop and it is easier for her to lock it.Aya quickly went inside as they arrived because she needs to help Takeru in the kitchen.

Mika : (removing her helmet)

Caroline : Yaho!!*waving

Mika : You look like you are enjoying the work so much

Caroline : Well,you don’t see this everyday (pointing at the clothes she wears and the apron)

Mika : Indeed,come lets go inside.

Haruna : (saw Mika coming) Oh my god,I thought--

Mika : (saw Haruna) Why are you standing there Haruna?

Haruna  :….

Mika : Haruna?

Haruna : (snapped out)

Caroline : (looking at Haruna) WHats wrong?

Haruna keep looking outside and she said nothing

Mika : (looking at Haruna’s direction) What are you looking at?

Haruna : Oh nothing,nothing. Eh,you are back?

Mika : What is wrong with you (laughing)

Haruna : The last customer just left anyway.We have nothing to do just yet

Mika : (putting on her apron)Im gonna go to the kitchen to help alright.Wait wait..I forgot..

Caroline : What?

Mika : (removing her apron)

Haruna : Where are you going?

Mika : Im gonna go out for a while,just for a while.Im thinking of stopping by the  flower shop for a while.

Caroline : We have flowers here?

Haruna : What kind of question is that(smacks Caroline’s head)

Mika : I’ll be right back alright.take good care of the shop.

Mika went out and quickly rode away after putting on her helmet

Haruna : Caroline!(whispering)

Caroline : What?What?

Haruna : I am worried now.

Caroline : Why?

Haruna : Why  do you look not worried?

Caroline : Why would I look worried..wait what?

Haruna : What if they are here?

Caroline : They? Who?Your favorite band?Larc en ciel?

Haruna : Damn it Caroline not them!

Caroline : Then--…oh my god..them,

Haruna : (nodding)

Caroline : Sweet baby,I forgot about them.wait,they are here?

Haruna :I don’t know.I didn’t get to ask him just now.

Caroline : Did he call you?

Haruna : He did but that time I was busy,we were busy. So I didn’t get to talk much.And my phone is upstairs…

 Caroline : Mine too.Since Aya said it woud be dangerous is we put them here.

Haruna : I ran up just now because I heard my ringtone but then…(sigh)

Caroline : Wait,if they are here.They should have already checked in at Sakurako right?
