August 5: Apples, Mixers, and Photos
So, Kounosuke and I were accompanying Shin-kun while he was doing the day's grocery shopping. Since he would also be going to Kounosuke's house right after, I thought it to be a good idea, even though the tanuki was protesting against it. I also needed...
August 4: A Moment with Kyouji-san
It was sunset when I was out on the streets again after my short chat with Soutarou-kun. Short it may have been, it was enough to shorten the distance between us two and hopefully, it will continue to shorten. But it might be a while before I could get...
August 4: At the Kuri Hardware Shop
Kounosuke called last night about the fan. The only problem it had was that the wires were so old and thin, they broke from the soldering. He told me that I could pick it up by morning. And since I remembered that I left my book to his care, I made it...
August 3: A Junior and His Senior
My time with Tora and Tatsu-nii at the shrine lasted a tad bit too long and I ended up skipping lunchtime. To alleviate my hunger, I bought some curry bread from a nearby family-run mini-grocery. Stores like these were a lifesaver for us back in...
August 2: Tatsu-nii and Torahiko
After heading home to change, I made my way to the Midoriyas to pay Tatsu-nii a visit. Arriving there, it seemed like the place didn't change much. It had the look of a traditional Japanese home, complete with a small koi pond and garden. But there was...
August 1: The Party - Second Part
When I came back, everyone had already taken their seats, me left to find whoever had a vacant one next to them. Torahiko pulled a seat from an empty table and placed it next to his, the tiger winking and smiling at me. Seemed like he read my mind....
August 1: The Party - First Part
Walking around town, it seemed that even this place hasn't changed. There was still the old candy store, the crafts shop, and even the old mini-grocery. Going further, there was a place with red paper lanterns hanging outside, which if I'm right, was...
August 1: My Return to Minasato
Two hours had passed since I got on this bus, yet my excitement to go back to the village still hadn't died down. Looking out the window, I couldn't help but smile at the view of green valley plains, bushy trees, and the vast sea close to the horizon;...
August 9: Kenji’s First Heartbreak
I left Shin-kun's house right around two in the afternoon. Before I left though, he gave me a small box of gingersnaps for Grandma and Grandpa, warning me not to take even one from it. I felt a little offended though, seeing as he already knew that I...
August 8: Secret Guitar Lesson
There was still enough time so I went for a little stroll, eventually making my way into the forest out of a craving for natural surroundings. I wanted to savor every bit of nature that I could get, since things like these would be a rarity by the time...
August 8: Ghost Pictures - After
I arrived at the candy store and saw that Kounosuke, Shun-kun, and Tora were already there. Kounosuke took the photographs out of his bag, and while Shun-kun was excited to see them, Tora was trying his best to not be scared. That night, Kounosuke and...
