|| 2 || - Hangout

"Thoma, could you perhaps run a few errands for me?" Ayaka asks and Thoma smiled and gave a nod.

The moment Ayaka makes her request, Ayashi suddenly appears in front of the two and spoke up.

"I wanna go out with Thoma too! Can I? Can I?" He begged his sister as he gave her puppy dog eyes and began whining. Ayaka soon sighed at her younger brother's antics and gave in.

"Of course." She smiled as her brother beamed.

"As long as you stay close to Thoma and not cause any trouble, you understand?" She stated as her brother hums and nods in response.

"Don't worry Miss Ayaka - I'm sure Ayashi will be on his best behaviour." He spoke as he crossed his arms.

Both Thoma and Ayashi made their way down to Inazuma City all the way to Tenryou - the famous commercial street and one of the busiest within all of Inazuma.
Ayashi and Thoma were now standing in front of the Komore Teahouse.

There, was a group consisting of four people in peculiar clothing, though one person was recognised - the traveler. The small group chatted for a small bit before heading inside the Teahouse.

The group all went into a small private room while Ayashi decided to stay by the small counter at the entrance with Taroumaru.

"Ayashi, aren't you coming?" Thoma asked as the little boy shook his head.

"I'll stay here Thoma, don't worry!" He smiled before the blond male went to go with the others.

A few minutes past and Ayashi began growing bored. He soon noticed that Taroumaru wasn't around at the moment and Thoma was too busy chatting away with the traveler and his mysterious friends.

Seeing this as his opportunity, Ayashi made his way to the door leading out of the Teahouse and left after closing the door behind him.

Ayashi walked through Tenryou and made his way to the outskirts of Inazuma City between Byakko Plain and Tenryou - leading him to Hanamizaka.

Once Ayashi made it there, he quickly rushed over to Naganohara Fireworks - swiftly dashing over to Naganohara Ryuunosuke, Yoimya's father.

"Little Ayashi, what brings you here?" He asked as he kindly smiled at the boy.

"Hello Mr. Naganohara! Have you seen Yoimya?" He asked, but the elder couldn't clarify what he was saying.

"What was that? I'm afraid you're to have to speak up!" He states.
Ayashi took a deep breath before loudly shouting, "HAVE YOU SEEN YOIMYA!!" He screamed - getting a few glances from other people near by.

"I'm right over here ShiShi." Another voice says with a small giggle at the end. Recognising who it was, Ayashi swiftly turned and was greeted by a girl in bright clothing along with a vibrant smile on her face.

"Ah, there's Yoimya." Ryuunosuke says as the little boy ran over to hug the women.

"Yoimya!" Ayashi exclaimed as he gave a toothy grin.

"Hey ShiShi, what are you doing all the way out here? Is Thoma or Ayaka with you?" She wondered as she looked around for any signs of the any of the two she'd mentioned.

"Nope! Ayaka is at home and Thoma is at the Komore Teahouse! I came here all by myself!" He proudly smirked as Yoimya chuckled.

"Well I should probably take you back to Thoma now." She says and the little boy pouted.

"No way! I wanna hang out with you first! It's been so long and I missed playing with you!" Ayashi begged the woman - giving in, Yoimya decided to spend sometime with the boy at least.

"You do make a point - I'll spend sometime with you, but you have to promise to go back to Thoma when we're done, okay?"

"Okay!" He smiled and took a hold of Yoimya's hand.

☁︎

Yoimya along with Ayashi made their way down to Kiminami restaurant. Yoimya helped Ayashi up on a high chair before sitting down on a chair herself.

The owner of the restaurant, Kiminami Anna, took notice of the two and greeted them.

"Hey Yoimya, Ayashi - what can I get for the two of you?" She happily grinned.

"Delicious rice cake soup! Please!" Ayashi exclaimed as Anna nods and looks over at Yoimya. "What about you Yoimya - what would you like?"

"I'll have some Taiyaki!" Yoimya smiled as Anna gave a nod and went off to prepare the two's meals.

As they wait, Yoimya went on to tell Ayashi about her adventures and the new people she'd encountered; not long after, their foods were ready and were placed in front of them.

Thanking Anna for the food, they both began munching down on their meals with a bright smile.

☁︎

Yoimya and Ayashi had finished eating and said their goodbyes to Anna before heading off.

"Now then, let's take you back to Thoma shall we." Yoimya said as the little boy beside her gave a pout with a small huff.

"But I'm having so much fun! Can we maybe hangout for a little longer?" The little boy asked the woman with pleading eyes.

Not being able to say no to the child, Yoimya sighed before giggling and giving a big smile. "Okay okay, but after we're done I'm taking you back to Thoma for real, got it?" The woman says and Ayashi nods.

The two had spent the rest of their time playing hide and seek, helping a few civilians with errands and, organising and sorting a few fireworks.

By the time they were done, the sun had began setting and Yoimya let out a tired huff. "It's getting late - we should start heading back to the Komore Teahouse now Ayashi." Yoimya said as the small put away the last few fireworks in a large wooden box.

"Okay! Let's go then!" Ayashi exclaimed as he ran beside the woman and took a hold of her hand.
Yoimya giggled and began walking to the next destination for the day with Ayashi.

☁︎

Yoimya opened the door to the teahouse and was greeted by a stressed Thoma and Ayaka - the two soon took notice of Yoimya and Ayashi at the door; sighing in relief as they realised the young boy wasn't in any danger.

"Ayaka! Thoma!" Ayashi runs over to the two and soon hugged his sister.

"Ayashi, you had us worried!" Thoma said as Ayaka gave a nod - agreeing with her friend.

"Just as Thoma said - you shouldn't go wondering off like that. You've said you'd behave, didn't you?" Ayaka spoke with a slight frown as her younger brother gave a small pout for the hundredth time today.

The two siblings began having their own little conversation which soon led to bickering.

Thoma chuckled and soon turned over to Yoimya. "Thank you so much for watching Ayashi, I know he can be quite a handful." Thoma sheepishly scratched the back of his head as the blond woman shook her.

"It was no problem - we had a ton of fun today anyways!" Yoimya brightly smiled as the man in front of her sighed in relief.

Not long after, everyone left the teahouse and said goodvy to one another before heading their separate ways.
