Tatsuya x Mayumi

chp26- Treasure hunt

Today is the day that Masaki and his older sister hid an item somewhere in there massive garden and allowed different teams to find it. This was a Ichijou tradition to announce the candidates for the next Ichijou heirs (Masaki and his elder sister).

"Good morning everyone" Tatsuya politely said.

"Hey Tatsuya, I'm happy you could make it!" Masaki yelled with excitement.

Tatsuya was wearing a loose white tshirt and slim tracksuit bottoms. Masaki was wearing a red shirt which suited him perfectly well with a darker shade of smart trousers.

"Thanks. I still need to greet your parents" Tatsuya said with a smirk as he waved goodbye.

He scanned for Masakis parents as well as Mayumi. He couldn't find Mayumi but he did find Masakis parents so he went to greet them.

"Good morning Mr and Mrs Ichijou" Tatsuya greeted formally.

"Good morning" they both replied.

"I wasnt sure if you were going to come but I'm glad you did" the Ichijou head gently said.

"Is that so?... By the way, have you seen Mayumi anywhere?" Tatsuya asked

The Ichijou lady smiled and said "your looking for her already? You must get along great"

Tatsuya blushed slightly and replied "well, I hope so. Its actually been a while since I have seen her"

"Well we wont take any more of your time, please enjoy this event" The Ichijou head pleasantly said.

Tatsuya nodded and left. He was then greeted by Miyuki.

"Miyuki, what are you going to do? Your beloved partner wont be able to pair up with you" Tatsuya dramatically expressed to annoy her.

Instead Miyuki laughed and explained "I will be pairing up with Masakis younger sister"

"Ok then, good luck" he wished her formally and then left.

After searching for about 5 minutes he finally finds Mayumi.

"Mayumi!" Tatsuya yelled.

Mayumi stopped what she was doing and hugged him. "Hey, do you want to pair up?" She asked.

"Yes, that was the plan" Tatsuya agreed.

"Great, let's do our best!" Mayumi said cheerfully.

Tatsuya nodded and then all the teams gathered up to hear Masaki and his sisters speech.

"Good day everyone, I'm glad you could all make it. I'm sure you all know the rules and why this tradition is done. Now Masaki will once again explain what our item is" The sister politely said in a way which also demanded respect and peoples attention.

"She would make a good leader" Tatsuya thought to himself.

"Just to clear up, our item is a gold arrow. It has 3 rubys on each side of the where the feathers are on a real arrow and it is hidden in the gardens somewhere. If you find it bring it back to us. Good luck!" Masaki clearly announced.

"He is also a good speaker.... the Ichijou clan may have a hard time selecting there new heir" Mayumi thought to herself.

"Mayumi, let's begin" Tatsuya declared.

They held hands and Mayumi questioned him, "if you were hiding the item where would you put it?"

"I dont know but there are a lot of bushes around here so let's check those" Tatsuya plainly replied.

Mayumi could tell he was not enjoying the actual event of searching for the item properly, but she hoped he did enjoy talking to her.

They reached a point where the bushes curved and led them to a massive field with lots of trees.
