𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍-𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐘 𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏, her mind a blank slate. "What am I doing here again?" she murmured to her fellow horsemen, who accompanied her on this unexpected journey.
They were Langa, Reki, Miya, and Shadow, forced to join them due to the lack of transportation. "We're going to Miyakojima!" Reki exclaimed excitedly in English.
The girl rolled her eyes. "Did you forget I'm also from Japan?"
Reki backfired, "Oh yeah? Name three cities."
The girl sighed heavily. "Oh." She looked down at the ground and pursed her lips.
The girl sighed again, feeling exasperated. "Who came up with this idea anyway?" she asked, taking a sip of her banana milk.
Miya smirked, "Well, it was me. As you can see, we're all tired from that beef we had, and that old man stressed me out. So I decided to take you guys to a hot spring located at Miyakojima!"
The girl sighed once more, remembering the chaos of the previous night that left her contemplating booking a flight back overseas. (Just kidding.)
Reki sighed too, despite his excitement for the trip; he couldn't help but feel some doubts about himself. "Hot spring healing sounds like what old guys do," Raiko muttered under her breath.
Reki's thoughts were interrupted by Raiko, who was staring out at the ocean.
The red-haired boy didn't mind what she said as the three of them bickered. And then again, he was lost in thought. Miya was the one who recommended the Hot Spring Healing thing they were about to embark on, explaining that it would be good for their stress and injuries.
He sighed again and scanned the area, causing him to lock eyes with a black-haired girl wearing a sky blue dress and a hat that almost covered her face. He blushed and felt awe-struck.
"She's so pretty~" Langa mimicked Reki's voice, causing him to flinch. "That's what your face says."
"No way!" Reki retorted defensively.
"Oooh, so someone like that is your ideal type?" Miya suddenly popped out of nowhere. Shadow examined the girl and said, "Huh, you're completely a different world from her. Don't bother, don't bother." He patted Reki's shoulder gently.
"What do you mean?! You'll never know unless I talk to her!" Reki protested eagerly. Raiko just laughed at what she saw. "Go talk to her then~" she teased playfully.
Shadow and Miya pouted their lips and pointed it to the girl, Langa just nodded and gave Raiko a thumbs up.
"Langa, go talk to her!" Reki whispered urgently.
"Huh?! Why me?!" the clueless boy asked in confusion. "If I was the one who'll talk to her, it'll be a disaster and you know that!" Reki responded firmly.
"Pft~ At least you know your place" Miya teased again with a smirk on her face. "Shut up!" Reki exclaimed in response as they all laughed together at what Miya said.
As the sound of laughter echoed through the air, their tranquil moment was suddenly interrupted by a familiar figure. It was Joe, surrounded by a bevy of adoring women who hung onto his every word like vines to a tree.
"What a coincidence to see you all here," he said with a smirk, his eyes lingering on Shadow. "And you even bring your teacher as your chaperone, yeah?"
Shadow bristled at the comment, "Who are you calling teacher? And I had no choice! That's why I'm here!" he exclaimed, while the three snickering in amusement.
Joe chuckled, "Please wake up, Master." A robotic voice rang out from behind them. "Ten minutes until arrival."
Carla, the AI companion of Cherry, spoke in a soothing tone. "Thank you, Carla" Cherry rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked around in confusion.
"Thank you, Carla," Cherry said groggily. "O-oh? That voice..." Raiko repeated himself, looking at Cherry quizzically.
"Hey weirdo, what're you doing here?" Joe demanded, feeling a mix of annoyance and surprise. "I could ask you the same damn gigolo" Cherry retorted, her tone laced with sarcasm.
Joe rolled his eyes. "I'm here on business, what's your excuse?" he questioned, trying to hide the fact that he was actually on vacation.
"I am not a gigolo, four-eyes dumbass." Joe shot back, his voice laced with irritation. "Oh and I'm vacaying all day with these ladies~" he added, gesturing to the group of girls clinging to him like barnacles on a ship.
Langa interjected, "Going to hot springs with them." He said, looking at Cherry.
Cherry's eyes shifted to Raiko, who was standing beside Langa. His heart skipped a beat as he saw her. It was like looking into the sun; blindingly bright and overwhelmingly beautiful.
As the ferry comes to a stop, everyone disembarks, and Shadow calls out, "Alright, gather your belongings!" He lifts his own bag and continues, "I suggest we head to the inn first and then satisfy our hunger."
Reki skates past Shadow, exclaiming, "Woohoo!"
Shadow turns to Reki and asks, "Oi, what are you doing?!"
Reki grins sheepishly, "Having fun~"
Miya skates by Shadow and quips, "There's no point in using logic with idiots"
"If you're hanging with morons, what does that make you?" Raiko asked, and made Miya silent for a bit. "Right, that's what I thought." she added.
Cherry heard what she said and giggled, "These idiots." he muttered.
They joined the group and skates by Shadow, "Hey, your stuff!" he again, shouted.
"Thanks for carrying our stuffs!" Langa clapped his hands as he did the same as the others and joined them skating.
Shadow scowls at what they did, "Our stuff too~ Thank you, Sir!" Cherry and Joe suddenly appeared and thanked Shadow as they skates past him.
"I shouldn't have joined you!" the eldest cried. Making them laugh as they skate off the road.
