The bunny prince and the girl ✓

Chapter - 22

It's been 7 years since I met that strange rabbit. According to mom and dad who saved my life from wild creatures. I thought, he might have died and blamed myself for his death. But my heart kept telling me he was still alive. And now it is saying that I have also met the Bunny prince, he was very close to me and now I just need to find him. But I can't see him, can't touch him, can't feel him . He is just a part of my own imagination. This is what my mind says. Whom should I believe? my heart or my mind? Yesterday Grandma said 'Trust your intuition maybe the universe wants to tell you something'. Would it be okay to trust my intuitions and find out the answers to the questions arising in my head ? The first question I want to solve is this...

Looking up at the sky, Inoue was talking to herself while holding that piece of paper. In which Minamoto once wrote 'You are not alone'.

I have to find the person who wrote this... 

 " Icku-chan...Icku-chan, ah there you are." Grandma Chio came looking for her. "Grandma, do you need anything, I already told you not to push yourself too hard. You know you have joint pain. Whenever you need anything, just call me, I will come to you. "Ah, my little worrywart. I am not so old that I can't even come to the terrace alone.  Who do you think I am, I've been a former national kendo champion, remember?" "Oh grandma, no one can beat you in arguments. Well what's the matter? Why were you looking for me?" "I want to give you something." "Want to give me something? " "Come with me." Without saying anything more than these three words, she walked downstairs.   In astonishment Inoue answered. "Ah, okay." and followed her footsteps. She took her to her room. She started searching for something inside a ​traditional wooden box.  She pulled out a red Yukata ( A light cotton kimono mostly worn in summer festivals ) There were some beautiful floral print all over it. She took it to Inoue and said "Icku-chan wear this for tonight's festival". "But Grandma this is your favorite kimono. How can I wear it?" Inoue was shocked to see grandma give her favorite kimono. "You know Icku-chan, when I was your age. My mother gave it to me. She wanted me to stand out. She handed it to me one day before her death. This was her last gift to me. I never wore it. But this is my favorite Yukata ever. And now I want to give it to you as a symbol of my love and affection, please wear it in tonight's summer festival. Who knows it may bring you some good luck." "But why didn't you wear it? it's your mom's last gift to you?" Inoue queried, She looked a little sad." " It's because I didn't want to make it dirty. I loved it as it was. But the day you entered this world. I was the first person who took you in my arms. That's when I made up my mind to give it to you. I decided to hand it over to you when the time is right." She had a soft sad smile on her face. Inoue understood the meaning of that gift. She accepted it with all her heart, "I'll take care of it. I promise". " Hmm, I know you will" she said nodding. 

"Ah, I have to go first. Fuji will be on the way. What should I take...hmm a bottle of water if someone feels thirsty. Sweet crackers would be perfect if anyone would be unable to eat anything from the food stalls. A portable charger will be needed in case someone's cell phone's battery drops. And then...wait, it's that stranger's notebook, right ? yeah, I forgot to ask Mr. Takahashi about it. By the way in the first place, why did I bring it with me." "Gengi, Fuji's here what the hell are you doing?" Sato called him, shouting. "I...I'm coming." He hurriedly put Minamoto's notebook inside his bag again and went out.

After a while 

Inoue was getting ready for the festival. Sato was waiting for her outside the room and...

Beep ! Beep !

"Inoue are you ready? Takemichi and Fuji are waiting for us near the shrine's entrance. Sato shouted from outside Inoue's room. " yes, i am " she answered while coming out. Sato's jaw dropped the moment she saw her.  She was looking beautiful. "Inoue, you are  looking like a goddess to me, where did you buy that yukata from ?" she asked in surprise. "I didn't buy it from any store. Grandma gave it to me." "Oh, it's so beautiful". "By the way you look so cute in that yukata too" she complimented her. "Oh, this? Grandma Chio gave it to me. She wanted me to look like a girl, so she forced me to wear it." She made a long face and said.
