You Are My Future

7. Have we really reconciled?

Mika turned around and felt a warm feeling in her heart. It was Airi.

"Aren't you afraid of being dragged down by me?" Mika asked worriedly.

"Oh, have you forgotten that I have plenty of backers?" Takumi said. "Besides, Hajime is really too arrogant." Airi agreed, it was Ren who said that.

"Mika-san, I admire your courage." Takumi patted Mika's shoulder, "I just think that life should be balanced in all aspects. Whoever steals the limelight from others will make the pace of life lose harmony." Mika said, "Aphorism, it's really an aphorism." Takumi said loudly, "Mika's Japanese is really good. "

"Thank you, thank you!" Mika bowed solemnly, then said while looking at the road, "You remind me of my friends in Malaysia."

I am your friend from Malaysia! What a pity that I changed my appearance and travelled through time and space. Ren thought half-complainingly in Airi's body.

The weather in early May is cool, the wind is gentle, the sun is bright, the sky is blue, the trees are green, and even the mood is warm.

The three of them walked towards the tram station in the spring breeze. Takumi suddenly became excited. "I'll take you guys to a place! Mika-san has definitely never seen it!"

"What? Where?"

"Come with me! Come with me!" Takumi said while keeping the secret.

Takumi turned right at the wide intersection in front of the tram station and turned into a road along the sea.

"Say it, just say it!" Mika couldn't wait any longer, "Where are you taking me?"

"Yes, tell me quickly! Where are we going?" Even Airi, no, Ren, was also curious.

"Okay! Okay! I'll just tell you for now." Takumi said, "Let me give you a riddle."

"Okay! I like guessing riddles!" Mika happily greeted the warm Pacific Ocean breeze.

"Listen carefully." Takumi cleared his throat, "First, this is a mysterious place..."

"...Secondly, Mika-san may not have been there, but Airi-san lives next door to Okawa City, so she must know." Takumi brushed his bangs that were blown by the sea breeze.

What a pity, Takumi, he didn't know that the current Airi was not Airi, but Ren, who knew nothing about Japan and knew even less about Japan than Mika! So Airi, or to be more precise, Ren, could only nod silently.

"Oh! What kind of riddle is this? The second one is meaningless," Mika protested as she walked, "Keep going, keep going!"

"Third, this place changes with the seasons."

"Hey, is there such a place in Okawa City? Why have I never heard my mother talk about it?" Mika began to talk to herself curiously, "It's May now, what will this place look like?"

"Oh, you don't even know this! No wonder you don't know since you just arrived in Japan." Takumi led everyone up a sloping road. In front of them was a large area of ​​towering cedar trees that shaded the road.

"Airi-san, tell her what flowers you will see in May?"

"Uh...uh..." This stumped Ren inside Airi's body.

"Airi-san, you won't even help me, right? Please give me some hints!" Mika climbed the slope, sighing softly.

"It's just that...that...side of the mountain, that..." Ren tried to make excuses.

"What? What?" Mika had no idea. "What kind of suggestion is this?"

"Yes! Yes! Those are the flowers that bloom under the eaves, on the roadside, and under the trees on the hillside." Fortunately, Takumi didn't notice at all and continued, "They are made up of many small flowers, as big as your face, and they are not colourful, probably pink, blue or purple!"
