Kibishi's POV

Kitchen....

Splash! Splash!

I finish cleaning up the tea cups alongside the blade for them.

After talking with Jir, I feel much better about the situation. I may be unable to help with the others, but at least I could help around here.

I have to be positive!

Yeah, that's right. To reach our goal, we must keep this positive vibe!

"Now then," I say as I start to turn off the water underneath the sink. I quickly shook my hands and grabbed a towel on the stove's handle. I wipe my hands and then place it back neatly.  I folded my arms and stared at the window and saw the view of the giant hole in the middle of the city. "This place is the safest section, but I don't know why..." I whisper.

I lower my head and frown.

"Never mind that, though. I hurt Tao's feelings. What should I do to make this up?" I wonder.

I sigh deeply and take out my phone. Once I turned it on, I saw a notification from that bookstore. Not only the bookstore, though,  there's also Jake's flower shop and that chocolate store.

"Book...flower...chocolate..." I whisper. I look up at the roof and wander away. I suddenly have Tao in my mind. I can see Tao's beautiful smile while she blushes away. When I was younger, I was captured by her sweet and gentle smile. Ever since then, I wanted to keep making her smile. Tao means the world to me, and I plan to support her the whole way.

I blush like mad as I suddenly go into contact. I notice Kuma's name first out of instinct.  I don't know why, but I want to talk to Kuma. For some reason, she got this vibe to her that I liked. Kuma, I mean. And I have a feeling that Kuma may know what to do. What do I mean? Not sure myself. But seeing those three items makes me want to talk to Kuma about it. I bet she knows what I can do with those items! I think...

Kibishi's Phone:

Afternoon.

Yo! What's up, my guy?

Nothing much. I just finished with some tea and chatting with Jir about some stuff.

You?

I have been hanging out with Tao all day. And it's nice that you get to hang with Jir, ha!

Indeed.

"Hehe! Kuma is something else." I say with a red blush.

Kibishi's Phone:

Anyway, can we meet somewhere to talk? There's something I want to discuss with you.

Is it a confession?

No? (Whatever that means.)

Hehe, JK! 😜

I shall be there! Meet me in the middle of- well, in the middle city!

What about the park? Wouldn't that work better?

Oh, yup! That works, too!

Sweet!

Head back to your room, btw! I think my old man had left something for you on your bed!

Bye-bye! 👋


Beep!

I turn off my phone and raise my head. "What was that about?" I question Kuma's text.
