Mayura's POV:

I was staring, admiring the scenery right before my veranda. The Otomi Farmhouse, with the animals enjoying their meal. The garden, with all the flowers and lovely insects such as the butterflies roaming around it. And the hills, in which the sun sets. A perfect afternoon, well, that is for me. I was contented with this simple living together with my mother, Otomi Yukari.

Oh! And I forgot to introduce myself; Otomi Mayura, 18 years old, currently a high school student, favorite colors are yellow and green which reminds me of the hills and the sun, best friends are Enmadou Rokuro and Adashino Benio,who are currently dating each other, and I'm the clumsy class representative. My mom, Otomi Yukari, is the owner and manager of the Otomi Farmhouse. My father? Amawaka Seigen. Mom said he died while she was still pregnant with me, and they never had the chance to be a happy, married couple. Sad, yes I know. I never had the chance to even see him, except for this photo of them together. They took it during their first date.

(Pretend that Seigen has no eye bags.)


We live at the Rural part near Narukami City. We have a house there too, but we decide to stay here every summer to escape the 'hustle-and-bustle' city life. I only stay in there anyways because of school.

"Ohayo gosaimasu, Mayura-chan~" "Ohayo, Yuto-nii." I greeted him with a smile. Adashino Yuto, the co-owner of the Otomi Farmhouse. He's actually the one that helped mom with business, since mom raised him and Benio when their parents died in a car accident. When he graduated, he decided to help with the farm, if it was the only way he could pay back to my mom for the love and care she gave to him and his sister.

"Have you seen Yukari-sama? I told her I'll come here to help facilitate the farm." He said, with his strong yet cheerful tone. His big blue eyes shined, full of enthusiasm and his sky blue hair was blown by the breeze. And he always has that motivating smile.

"She's been waiting for you for a while now, Yuto-nii." And as I said that, he just shouted "What?!" with a funny expression on his face. He then ran into the farm as I can't help but laugh at his reaction, and so is Benio.

"Man, that look on his face though! Haha." She said, laughing at her own onii-san. "Well, were you there all along?" I giggled. Then, we squealed and hugged each other, for it has been a month when we never saw each other. "Say, where is Rokuro?" As I said that, a boy with messy brown hair, red flaring eyes, and sharp, pointed teeth surprised me from behind. "Rokuro, you scared me!" I screamed at him, as he laughed while replying; "You're still... Haha... A s-scaredy cat... As-as-as always!" He said in between laughs. Benio joined him, as I was starting to get annoyed by them. "So... How's the LOVELIFE going?" I teased them, emphasizing the word 'Lovelife.' First, they looked like tomato heads, but then Rokuro looked at Benio, admiring her long, black, silky hair, her emerald-green eyes, her pale skin... Well, let's just say EVERYTHING. Everything he never saw in me. Yes. I was jealous. I was just slapped back to reality when Benio literally slapped Rokuro in the face. "You idiot! S-stop looking at m-me..." She stuttered. I giggled, and he also giggled in response. I envy them.
