The two already arrived at the village.

The black haired girl slowly quickly went off from the bus without waking the other girl who's still sleeping in her seat, head leaning against the side of the other seat since in the half way of their ride, the girl's head suddenly moved away from her shoulder and leaned towards the window.

The bus driver saw her that's why he woke her up. As the girl woke up, he ask the driver the location of the forest where the golden rainbow can be found and the driver said that she needs to walk atleast 30 minutes to reach the entrance of the village where the forest is located but the girl is not fond of long distance walking so she decided to rent a motorbike to gave her a ride going to the village.

On the other hand, Ryujin was walking her way to her aunt's house, without looking back, she maintained the rhythm of her footsteps until she reached the half way of her journey when she noticed that one of the water pipe that lies in the rocky road was broken which cause the road to be muddy.

She tried to prevent the muddly holes in the road but not until a motorcycle pass beside her and splash the caramel colored mud to her gray sweat pants and at the side of her white loose tshirt.

Such a great way to start my day here. She mumbled then stopped from walking while watching the motorcycle moved away but she suddenly heard someone shouted 'sorry'.

She guessed it's the passenger of the motorcycle but she cannot see the face since the passenger was wearing a helmet.

She just shrugged it off because for her, there's no way to be mad since it's just an accident and beside the passenger apologized to her so it's already settled.

She continued to walk without minding her dirty sweatpants and shirt, as she finally reached the entrance of the village, she saw a familiar figure.

A woman in her late 40's was holding a basket full of full blown daisies, tulips and orchids. She's talking to a red haired girl carrying a huge backpack behind her. The girl bowed to the older and went inside the local hotel. The lady with basket walk away and noticed that Ryujin was looking to her from afar. She smiled and waved her hand towards the older then the older waved her hand too displaying a huge smile. The black haired girl quickly went to the older.

"Auntie! I missed you! " the black haired girl exclaimed then hugged the older woman.

"Omo! Hahaha! I missed you too Ryujinnie! You're still the same, you didn't grow taller huh. " her aunt chuckled while hugging the younger back.

"Auntie, you too, you still loved to tease me. " Ryujin broke the hug and pouted towards her auntie.

"Hahaha! I just love to tease our Ryujinnie~" her antie tapped her shoulder.

"Okay, just...let me carry this for you. " Ryujin said to her aunt and gestured to get the basket full of flowers.

"It's okay, I knew you're tired from your ride, just let me carry this. " her aunt insisted.

"Nope, I'm strong as an elephant auntie, I can manage." but still Ryujin get the basket leaving her aunt to shook her head in disbelief and just let her niece to carry the basket for her.

"Aigoo, still our kind monkey Ryujinnie. " her aunt said then they giggled and walked towards her aunt's house.


In Ryujin's aunt house.

"Just put it there Ryujinnie, then let's have some mocha bread here, I baked it for you! " her aunt said while walking towards the dining table.

"Yehey! Mocha bread! Thank you auntie! " Ryujin run towards the dining and take a sit and a slice of her favorite mocha bread.

"Auntie, how's the flower garden? " Ryujin asked her aunt while sipping her orange juice.

"Oh, the garden's doing great, the daisies, tulips and orchids were in full bloom while the roses and sunflowers were very in demand since a lot of tourists went here for the golden rainbow and when they got home, they bought some flowers here to bring with them." Her aunt replied.

"Oh, tourists still believe in the myth huh. " Ryujin said while refilling her glass.

"Yes, and not just for the golden rainbow but also for the white lilies that only blooms in the evening. Even me, I also want to see that flower but I can't manage to go to the forest just to see them, as you can see, your auntie is getting older hahaha! " her aunt laughed that caused Ryujin to chuckled.

"Don't worry auntie, I'll get you some of those lilies. " Ryujin replied to her aunt while showing her whisker dimples.

"Omo, don't bother yourself Ryujinnie, it's okay, and besides the journey towards there is too difficult to handle, you can get lost if you went their. " her aunt said in concerned tone.

"Auntie, I've been visiting you here since I'm 10, and I also accompany you everytime you went to the forest to gather some plums and peaches so I've already familiarized the way going there and I can manage to went back here without getting lost. " Ryujin hold her aunt's hands to assure her that she don't have to worry.

"Still, I'm not allowing you to went there okay Ryujinnie? " her aunt said and squished her hand tightly.

"Okay auntie, no need to worry." Ryujin replied with a wide smile.

"Okay, finish your mocha bread because you're gonna help me to arrange those flowers I brought her in to the vase, I guess your Rosie unnie will also visit here tommorow. " her aunt said while walking towards the living room.

"Really! It's gonna be exciting! I truly missed Rosie unnie. " Ryujin exclaimed while sipping the last drop of her orange juice.

"I know, and she also misses you. " her aunt chuckled and get a vase for the flowers.

After few minutes of arranging and talking, they already finished putting the flowers to the vase with some stems of green compliments.

"Ryujinnie, I'll be going to the market to get some vegetables for out dinner okay, just stay here and relax, you can roam around the garden or play your flute there, I still keep it inside your room. " her aunt said while grabbing the basket for the vegetables.

"Would you like me to accompany to auntie? " Ryujin asked her aunt

"No, it's okay just relax there, I'll be quick. " Ryujin just nodded and hugged her aunt then the older woman went out of the house.

"Hmmm, what will I do....aha! I'll try to get auntie the white lilies she liked very much, maybe when I got home, she already prepared our dinner. Yeah, I'll be going, I'll just leave her a note. " she said then went to her room, wrote some note for her aunt that she'll be away and be back before dinner. She grabbed her black hoodie, her phone, and her flute.
