"Kita-kun." A voice called out, causing the dual hair-colored Captain to look back.
"Dazai-san." He acknowledged, a small nod. He waited for her to catch up to him.
"If it's alright, could we walk together for awhile? If you're not busy?" Y/N asked with a small smile.
As the sun began its descent behind the rolling hills of the Hyogo countryside, the sky transformed into a canvas of pastel hues, with streaks of pink, orange, and lavender blending seamlessly. Wispy clouds drifted lazily overhead, casting soft shadows on the landscape below.
The air was alive with the crisp freshness of spring, carrying with it the sweet fragrance of cherry blossoms and freshly tilled earth. A gentle breeze rustled through the budding trees, causing the delicate petals of the sakura to dance in the fading light. The occasional chirping of birds added to the symphony of nature, their melodies weaving through the tranquil evening air.
In the distance, the sound of a babbling brook could be heard, its soothing rhythm echoing through the valley. The occasional splash of a fish leaping from the water punctuated the peaceful serenity of the countryside. As twilight descended, the colors in the sky deepened, transforming into a rich tapestry of purples and blues. The first stars of the evening began to twinkle overhead, their faint light casting a soft glow on the landscape below.
In the distance, the faint hum of a tractor could be heard as farmers worked late into the evening, preparing their fields for the upcoming planting season. The rhythmic thud of hooves against packed earth signaled the return of villagers from a long day's work in the fields, their laughter and chatter carrying on the breeze. As darkness enveloped the countryside, the air grew cooler, carrying with it the promise of a peaceful night's rest. The distant call of an owl echoed through the trees, its haunting cry adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the Hyogo countryside in spring.
And so, as the evening drew to a close, the countryside of Hyogo embraced the beauty of spring, a time of renewal and growth, where nature's symphony echoed through the hills and valleys, and the promise of a new day lingered in the air.
"I have time to spare." Kita said as he checked his phone, deciding that it was alright if he had gone home a bit late today. His grandmother had gone to her knitting club and would not be back until later on, so, he was not in a hurry. Above all, he noticed the flint in the girl's eyes, Y/N was not someone who would seek someone out so eagerly.
"I know you said stay you wouldn't pry into why I moved to Inarizaki." She suddenly said as they kept walking. He hummed. The sound so quiet yet audible. A small bittersweet smile adorned her chapped lips, usually a glossy shade was now chapped. He looked forward as they crossed the small bridge.
"But, it's better if I tell you myself before you find out through anyone else. Perhaps," A pause in her voice, her words. Kita could almost hear a quiver, a hesitance in her voice. It made him think as to what could happen that would cause this strong-willed girl to feel so much reluctance.
