My Classmate, My Buddy (Anime Story)

Chapter 7

Rin waited for Kazuma, Shouma, Hanna and Touma outside the train station. She then heard Touma's voice and looked over to see them walking towards her. Joining them was Izuku, Touma's childhood friend. With the addition of Izuku, their friend group had four girls: Rin, Kazuma, Hanna and Izuku. The four of them decided to go on a trip to Kanagawa, seeing as it was the weekend. The six second year high school students waited for the shinkansen to arrive and Izuku could not resist the urge to tease Rin.

"Hey, how do feel Touma?" Izuku asked

"I-Izuku!" Touma bellowed

As the six friends waited for the train, Izuku continued to tease Rin, making her blush furiously. Touma, trying to defend his friend, intervened, "Izuku, stop it! You're being too much!" But Izuku just chuckled and said, "What? I'm just trying to get a rise out of her!"

Rin, still blushing, playfully rolled her eyes and said, "You're such a troublemaker, Izuku." Hanna, who had been quietly observing the exchange, spoke up, "Hey, let's not fight. We're on vacation, remember? We should be having fun!"

Kazuma, who had been checking his phone, suddenly looked up and said, "Guys, the train is arriving. Let's grab our seats and get settled." The group quickly gathered their belongings and boarded the train, finding their reserved seats and stowing their luggage.

As they settled in, Izuku continued to tease Rin, making jokes and playful remarks that left her giggling. Touma, sitting next to her, playfully nudged her and whispered, "Don't worry, I've got your back." Rin smiled and whispered back, "Thanks, Touma. You're always there for me."

Hanna, sitting across from them, smiled at the exchange and said, "You two are so cute. You're like siblings or something." Kazuma, who was sitting next to Hanna, chuckled and said, "Yeah, they've been like that since middle school. Touma's always looking out for Rin."

Izuku, overhearing the conversation, piped up, "Hey, what about me? I'm Touma's childhood friend too!" Touma laughed and said, "Yeah, but you're more like a partner in crime, Izuku. You're always getting us into trouble!"

"Hey, watch it, Izuku, Touma's my stepbrother!" Hanna bellowed

"Calm down sis." Izuku said

"Wait, you two are siblings too?" Touma asked

"Ex-stepsisters." Hanna said

"You never mentioned anything about that." Touma said

Hanna shrugged, "I didn't think it was a big deal. We didn't grow up together, and our parents aren't together anymore, so it's not like we're close or anything." Izuku nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we only lived together for a few years when we were kids. But we still keep in touch, right, sis?" Hanna smiled, "Yeah, despite our differences, we get along okay."

As the train continued on its journey, the group chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company. Rin, who had finally stopped blushing, asked Izuku, "So, what's the plan for our trip to Kanagawa?" Izuku grinned mischievously, "I was thinking we could hit up some of the local shrines, maybe take a hike in the nearby mountains, and then end the day with some delicious seafood dinner." Touma nodded, "Sounds like a great plan to me. I'm always up for some adventure."

Kazuma, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up, "Actually, I was thinking we could visit the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. I've heard it's really cool." Hanna's eyes lit up, "Ooh, I love shopping! Is there a lot of shopping there?" Kazuma smiled, "Yeah, there are tons of shops and restaurants. We could spend hours there easily."

The group continued to discuss their plans, tossing around ideas and suggestions. As they approached their destination, they grew more excited, eager to start their adventure in Kanagawa. As the train pulled into the station, they gathered their belongings and disembarked, stretching their legs and taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city.

After a quick lunch at a local ramen shop, they set off towards the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. As they walked, Izuku continued to tease Rin, making her laugh and blush. Touma playfully rolled his eyes, "You're such a troublemaker, Izuku." Hanna chuckled, "Leave them alone, they're just having fun."

As they arrived at the warehouse, they were struck by its grandeur. The historic building was beautifully preserved, with its red brick exterior and stunning architecture. They spent hours browsing the shops, trying out local delicacies, and taking in the views of the harbour. Rin and Izuku even stumbled upon a small arcade, where they spent a ridiculous amount of money trying to beat each other's high scores.

As the sun began to set, they decided to head towards the waterfront, where they could watch the sunset over the ocean. They found a cosy little spot, and sat down to take in the breath taking view. Touma put his arm around Rin, "You know, I'm really glad we're doing this trip together. It's been too long since we've all hung out." Rin smiled, "Me too, Touma. This has been the perfect day."

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the group sat in comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company and the peaceful atmosphere. They knew that this trip would be one to remember, a chance to create new memories and strengthen their bonds of friendship. And as they sat there, watching the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky, they knew that they would always treasure this moment, this trip, and each other.

The next morning, they woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready for another day of adventure. Over breakfast, they discussed their plans for the day, deciding to visit the nearby Sankeien Garden. As they walked through the beautiful gardens, they marvelled at the stunning scenery and tranquil atmosphere.

Izuku, ever the troublemaker, couldn't resist making jokes and teasing Rin, making her giggle and blush. Touma playfully scolded him, "Izuku, stop it! You're being too much!" But Izuku just chuckled and said, "What? I'm just trying to keep things interesting!"

As they explored the gardens, they stumbled upon a beautiful teahouse, where they decided to take a break and enjoy some traditional Japanese tea. They sat down at the low tables, and were served steaming cups of green tea and delicate sweets. Rin closed her eyes, savouring the moment, "This is so peaceful. I'm so glad we came here."

Hanna smiled, "I know, right? This is exactly what we needed. A break from school and city life." Kazuma nodded, "Definitely. I feel like I can finally relax and unwind." Touma grinned, "And we still have the rest of the day to go! What's next, Izuku?"

Izuku thought for a moment, "Hmm... how about we visit the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise? I've heard it's an amazing aquarium." The group enthusiastically agreed, and set off towards the aquarium. As they walked, they chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company and the beautiful scenery.

As the day drew to a close, they reflected on all the amazing experiences they had shared. From the stunning views of the harbour to the peaceful atmosphere of the gardens, they had created memories that would last a lifetime. And as they settled in for the night, exhausted but happy, they knew that this trip would be one they would always treasure.

The next morning, they reluctantly packed up their belongings and boarded the train back to Tokyo. As they settled in for the ride, they were all quiet, lost in their own thoughts. Izuku finally broke the silence, "You know, I'm going to miss this trip. It's been an amazing adventure." Touma nodded, "Definitely. I'm so glad we did this."

Rin smiled, "Me too. I feel like we've grown closer as friends." Hanna nodded, "Yeah, it's been really great to spend time together." Kazuma, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up, "You know, I think we should do this again sometime. Maybe plan another trip for the future."

The group enthusiastically agreed, already making plans for their next adventure. As the train pulled into the station, they gathered their belongings and disembarked, saying their goodbyes and promising to stay in touch. As they went their separate ways, they knew that they would always treasure the memories of their trip to Kanagawa, and the bonds of friendship that they had strengthened along the way.
