Her Shooting Star

Chapter 4: First Stop

"Be my personal driver and I will pay you a million yen."

"You don't know what you are saying." Yuki said then she turned around. "I know what I'm saying." The young girl replied. "Look, you're just a kid trying to fool around. And I'm not going to fall for it." Yuki said as she started walking.

"Let's see if you can refuse this." The girl said with a mischievous smirk on her face.

"HELP!! THAT GIRL TRIED TO ROB ME!!! SOMEBODY HELP!!"

"What the?" Yuki turned around and run towards the girl and covered her mouth. "HEL- MMPH!!"

"You little brat!" Yuki said as she tries to shut her up then she looked around to see if there are other people around them. "Can you shut up?"

The girl removed Yuki's hand forcefully to free herself. "So? Are you going to be my personal driver or not?"

"That again?" Yuki said with an annoyed look but the girl seems to not know the word back down. "Yes, that again. Are you going to accept it or not? Cause if not, I'm seriously going to report you to the police right now."

Yuki looked at her as if trying to see if she's lying or not, then she sighed. "How annoying. Alright. You win. I'll be your driver, just so you can shut up."

"I knew you would eventually say yes." The girl said happily, making Yuki roll her eyes. "As if you would stop if I still say no."

"Here. Take this." The girl said throwing her bag to Yuki. "Hey! Can't you hand over this properly?" Yuki said angrily but the girl just shrugged. "It's part of your job. I'm the one paying you so you do what I want you to do. Follow me." The girl said before started walking.

"What have I gotten myself into?" Yuki said to herself as she dragged herself to follow the strange girl that she just met. To her surprise, the girl stopped and turned around. "By the way, my name is Mayu. And your name?"

"Yuki. Kashiwagi Yuki." She replied. "Nice name. Now follow me Yukirin." Mayu said. "Yukirin? Hey! I'm definitely older than you. Where are your honorifics?" But Mayu continued walking as if she didn't hear what Yuki has just said.

"Here." Mayu said as she pulled out a bundle of cash from her bag as Yuki looked at her in disbelief.

"Please sign here. And here's the key for the car." The representative from the car rental said as he handed the documents and the car key. After signing the documents, the two of them went out and the representative of the car rental opened the door beside the driver's seat but Mayu opened the door at the back seat. Yuki just sighed as she watched Mayu's actions. She then entered the car and started the engine.

"Have a safe trip." The representative said as he bowed at them.

"So, where do you want to go first?" Yuki asked. "Just keep on driving." Mayu replied. Mayu took out a notebook from her bag and opened it. "Let's go to the temple." She said.

The two of them arrived at a temple half an hour later. Mayu went out of the car first and was about to go inside when she noticed that Yuki hasn't left the car. "What are you still doing there?" Mayu asked. "I'll just be waiting here." Yuki replied. "Come with me." Mayu said. "Why?"

"Because it's also a part of your job and like what I've said earlier, I am the one who's paying you so you have to obey me."

Yuki grumbled as she went out of the car after taking the key with her and she followed Mayu inside the temple.

Mayu hopped her way inside and Yuki just shook her head as she followed her. Mayu went to the bell and rung it and then she dropped a coin in the slot before picking up the small paper containing the blessing. Mayu opened the piece of paper and found "small blessing" written on it. Yuki just scoffed when she saw what's written. Mayu dropped another coin and drew out a piece of paper. "Big blessing."

"You don't look like someone who believes in this kind of thing." Yuki said. "Shut up." Mayu said as she dropped another coin. "Small blessing."

"How long are you going to do that?" Yuki asked. "Until I get the "Great Blessing". " Mayu replied. "Tie these over there." She ordered. "Can't you at least use some honorifics?" Yuki said as she gets all the papers that Mayu has drew out.

"She sure is a weird girl." Yuki said as she tied the papers containing the blessing that Mayu has drew out.

After several hours of trying, Mayu finally found what she's looking for. "Yukirin! I've found it." Mayu said happily then she hopped her way back to the car like a child.

Mayu took out her notebook again once inside the car. She put a check on the next item on her list.

"Go to the temple and get the "Great Blessing.""
