Tied Together [Book 2]

Chapter 32: Joyful

It's been a while since I said hello to you guys.

Hellow there, how are you doing? :3

Also, I forgot to mention that Asano and his minions are also in this trip, and Nagisa already met him. But who cares about that pfft (except for Yhan lol).

Nagisa's POV

We sat in our seats as the bus drove. Arisa-chan, who was sitting behind me, would offer me and Chiyuki-chan some snacks once in a while.

The bus is currently taking us to Yakusugi Land, a park where we can see ancient trees.

"Yakusugi Land... It says here that there are trees that are over 1,000 years old!" Chiyuki-chan scanned the brochure in her hands.

"1,000!" Arisa-chan exclaimed.

When we finally arrived at Yakusugi Land, we started walking along the trail.

There are different trails going everywhere, but we took the one that takes us to Kigensugi Cedar, another place similar to Yakusugi Land.

"Yakushima lives up to its name..." Sasahara pointed out as he looked at the trees.

Yakushima, being famous for its thick and green forests, has a lot of greenery going on.

We crossed wooden bridges and stone paths to get through the forest. We would hear running water if there was a river nearby.

"These trees are really big!" I looked up and examined the large trees, trying not to get blinded by the sunlight.

"I know!!" Hitomi-san put a hand on her forehead to shield her eyes from the light.

"Good thing our schedules are the same today, huh?" Nakano-san smiled.

We continued to walk along the trail until we reached Kigensugi Cedar.

"The trees are even bigger here!!" Arisa-chan cried out.

Chiyuki-chan looked up. "It's amazing!"

My head bent upwards at the gigantic trees. "I feel like I'm so small compared to these trees..."

"If you're small, then what am I!?" Hitomi-san sweat dropped.

We spent quite a long time there. After taking a lot of pictures, we moved to our next location, another waterfall.

"Okono Falls..." Nakano-san said as we walked with the others. "It must be a wonderful and beautiful place!" She put her hand on her cheek.

Hitomi-san sighed. "Yeah, yeah, drop the act, prince—"

"Shut up! Not here, Reimu!" Nakano-san hit her stomach, reminding her that there are other people walking with us.

"Geh!" Hitomi-san yelped.

Other people looked at their direction.

"Oh, Reimu, do you have a stomach ache?" Nakano-san asked as her personality changed yet again.

Hitomi-san ran and hit her in the head.

After walking for a bit, we could faintly hear water crashing. As we kept going, the sound became louder.

"I hear it!" Arisa-chan jumped in excitement. "I see it!!"

"W-watch out! The rocks are slippery—" As soon as Chiyuki-chan said that, Arisa-chan slipped and fell.

"Oww..."

"What did I tell you..."

The waterfall was really high. I could see a faint rainbow from it.
