Hideki
Another average day for Hideki. The young man was sitting on the couch in his house's living room, watching the news on the television. He was holding a glass of orange juice, taking a sip from time to time. He let out a sigh as he put down his drink on a coaster placed on the table in front of him.
"I wonder what I should do today...", Hideki said to himself as he took the glass, drank all its contents and then stood up and started to walk to the kitchen to put the empty glass on the sink. "Yuriko is always with her friends so I never get the chance to even talk with her, mother and father are always busy and my friends probably have their own plans...", he said while walking back to the couch. He sat down again and flipped through the channels, bored with what they're showing right now. One channel had a drama show on, another had a variety show which he didn't find too interesting. He sighed once more then laid down. He stared at the ceiling, contemplating about what he should do for today. Then a thought hit him.
'...Oh! I know. I should go around the city today. It's definitely better than lounging around all day in the house,' Hideki thought to himself then stood up. "Alright," he said then started to walk to his room located on the second floor of his family's house. He entered his rather average room and started to walk to his closet. He picked out some clothes then placed them on his bed, preparing them for when he leaves. He quickly went outside and rushed to their bathroom and took a fast shower. Hideki exited quickly and ran back to his room. He put the clothes he prepared on and walked in front of the mirror. "I guess it looks good," Hideki said to himself.
He was wearing a white shirt with black v-shaped stripes and black slacks. "Kinda plain though. Oh well," he said, satisfied with how he was dressed. He grabbed his wallet and the keys to his room from his desk drawer. "Hmm. Okay, I have enough cash that would probably be enough for my trip. I already know what I'm going to buy, but bringing a bit more money probably wouldn't hurt," he said then he put his wallet in his small bag. "Alright, time to go," he said, exiting the room and then closed the door. He walked down the stairs, went to their front door and put his shoes on. He opened the door and went outside, closing it afterwards. "Ah, it sure is a pretty nice day. Perfect for a stroll," he said and then proceeded to walk to the heart of the city.
Yoshimi
Okay~ See you later, Nikko-kun! c: Yoshimi typed on the keyboard as a reply. She'd been invited by Nikko to go to Tokyo to meet. Yoshimi was happy because she would be able to make another friend. "I get to meet him today~ Ehehe, I'm rather nervous. What should I wear? I guess I should wear something I normally wear~," Yoshimi said to herself after turning off the computer. "Young mistress," the voice came from an old man. "Ah! Hiroshi-san~ You're just in time!", Yoshimi gleefully said. "I'm meeting up with a friend today. What do you think should I wear?", she said, smiling. "Hmm... I think my lady should wear something that would make her look elegant," the old servant said. "You're right~ Help me pick something out! Oh, and can you please help me prepare the things I'm taking with me~", she said cheerfully. "As you wish, my mistress," Hiroshi said then bowed. A few minutes later they'd finished preparing. "Thank you for helping me, Hiroshi-san. We were able to finish quickly~", Yoshimi said. "It is my pleasure," he said. "Well then, I should get changed now. Thank you once more," Yoshimi said and bowed to Hiroshi. The old male smiled, bowed back and then exited the room.
A few minutes later, Yoshimi has changed into the clothes she, with her faithful butler's help, had picked out. It was a long, flowing white dress. "I wonder if I look good...", Yoshimi said to herself, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She smiled and let out a soft giggle. "I guess this is fine~", she said, and then grabbed a sunhat from her closet. "There we go! Hehe~", she said. "Oh! I shouldn't keep myself occupied with dressing up. I might keep Nikko-kun waiting," Yoshimi said. She quickly grabbed her purse and checked the contents. "Okay, I have everything I need~", Yoshimi said then walked out of her room. "Time to go~", Yoshimi said outside her clan's manor. "Ah, my lady," Hiroshi said before Yoshimi was able to depart. "Hmm? What is it, Hiroshi-san?", Yoshimi asked the old servant. He handed her a vertically long bag. She opened it and saw that it was her spear. "Ah! This is...", Yoshimi exclaimed. "It would be better if you brought that with you. You know the old saying, it's better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it," Hiroshi said with a smile. "Hehe. Hiroshi-san, you're always looking out for me~", Yoshimi said and smiled. She thanked the old butler. And then she waved at the servants that worked at their place and then she left.
Some time after she finally reached the train station which was originally her idea. She bought a ticket which was going near the place she and Nikko agreed to meet in. She waited for the train to arrive. Some people were staring at her, probably because of the weapon she had but was trying to hide. A bead of sweat dropped on Yoshimi's face because she wasn't used to this kind of pressure. A few moments later it finally arrived. 'Ah, the train's here,' Yoshimi thought, then entered. She sighed because there wasn't anybody that was staring at her anymore. She took a seat and waited for the train to reach their destination.
Harashi
"Harashi, wake up," the voice came from an old lady. "Huh...?", groaned Harashi, laying down on his futon. He turned to look at his grandmother. The brown-haired young man sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "What is it, grandmother?", Harashi said and then stretched his body. "It's your turn to clean the yard today," she said. "Ehh?! It is?", Harashi said. "That's too much of a pain, grandmother... Can't you do it yourself?", he said. "Now, Harashi! I'd have kicked you out of this household long ago if you weren't related to me. You have such a bad attitude. Being like that won't get you anywhere in life!", Hanako said to Harashi. He was astonished, he didn't know his grandmother could act like that. "Sigh... Fine. I'm sorry, grandma," Harashi said then stood up. "I'll go clean the yard now," Harashi said then smiled. Hanako smiled back. "Good."
Some time later, Harashi finally finished cleaning the yard. "Ah, what a pain~ I'm so tired... I'm going to take another nap now that I'm done," he said. He put the broom back in the shed and walked back to his room. "Grandmother, I'm done," Harashi told his grandma who was coped up with some other chores. "Ah, good. Thank you, Harashi," she said. "I'm going to take another nap. I'm exhausted...", he said. "Haha, very well then," she said, smiling. Harashi was lying down on his futon. "Ahh... Time to take a nap again!", he happily said. 15 minutes later he realized that he couldn't fall asleep. "Agh! Why can't I go to sleep?!", he angrily said. He sighed. "What a pain... Guess I'm going to go read some books," he said then stood up and walked to the bookshelf in his room. He picked out 3 books, one was about astronomy, one about biology and the last one about chemistry and decided to read them. Some time later he'd finished reading. "Alright, what should I do now? Hmm... It's certainly a change, but I think I should go buy some books myself in Tokyo. That place should have many books, unlike here...", Harashi said. "Okay then...", he said to himself and started to prepare all the things he needed for the trip. After that...
"Okay, I've finished preparing... Time to go, I guess," Harashi said to himself and then sighed. He'd changed his clothes and had already prepared the contents of his bag. He went out of his room and walked to the living room where his grandma was. "Grandmother, I'll be out for a while. I'm going to buy some books," he said to Hanako. "Ah, okay then. Be careful, Harashi," she said. "I will," was his reply then he went out of the house. He started to walk to the train station. Once he arrived he bought a ticket and waited for the train to arrive. Some time later the train he was waiting for finally came. "Sigh, finally," Harashi said. He walked inside and took a seat. He pulled out a book he brought along with him and started reading it. He patiently waited for the train to arrive at the station in Tokyo.
