The Rainy City
Sunny day at Seisokan Apartments
Hiiro Amagi
*wake up*
*looks at the clock*
It's already 5:22 am.
Hiiro came out of the room and warmed up before starting his morning run.
Hiiro Amagi
Looks like that's enough.
Hiiro Amagi
Since there's a tour today, I have to do it quickly.
Hiiro Amagi
I think five or ten rounds is enough.
Hiiro started his morning run.
After doing seven laps, Hiiro stopped at a shop to buy water and rest for a while.
Not long after, his cell phone rang.
Hiiro Amagi
*checks his phone*
Hmmm?
Tatsumi senpai?
Why did he call me?
*answer the call*
📱: What's wrong, Tatsumi-senpai?
Tatsumi Kazehaya
📱: Ah, finally.
When will you come back, Hiiro-kun?
It's already 6:50, you could be late for the tour.
Hiiro Amagi
📱: Really?
*checks the time on his phone*
📱: Right.
I'll be back in a moment.
Tatsumi Kazehaya
📱: Should I ask the Producer to send you a pick-up car?
Hiiro Amagi
📱: No need, Tatsumi-senpai.
I don't want to bother the Producer in the morning.
I'm used to the roads here now.
I'll use a shortcut.
Tatsumi Kazehaya
📱: Hmm... ok if you say so.
Just contact me if you need help.
Tatsumi Kazehaya
*ends call*
Hiiro finished his drink and returned to the Apartment via the shortcut.
Meanwhile at the Apartment.
Aira Shiratori
*think of something*
Tatsumi Kazehaya
*enters room*
Mayoi Ayase
You're back, Kazehaya.
Mayoi Ayase
Have you contacted, Hiiro-kun?
Tatsumi Kazehaya
Yes, he said he would be back soon.
Tatsumi Kazehaya
Maybe he's still on his way.
Aira Shiratori
*mumble*
Even though I asked him to pack in the morning, he left and hasn't come back.
*mumble*
Did he forget the agreement?
*mumble*
Hiiro-kun... you're such a habit...!
Tatsumi Kazehaya
That's enough, Aira-kun.
Tatsumi Kazehaya
Hiiro-kun will be back soon.
Aira Shiratori
I know that, but still–
Hiiro Amagi
*open the door*
Am I late?
Tatsumi Kazehaya
Look, Hiiro-kun is back.
Hiiro Amagi
What's with that gloomy face?
Aira Shiratori
Have you finished packing your things?
Hiiro Amagi
Ah, about that, huh?
Hiiro Amagi
I've done it before bed.
Aira Shiratori
Didn't you sleep first yesterday, Hiiro-kun?
Hiiro Amagi
Yes, I did sleep first.
Hiiro Amagi
But before that, I packed some things I needed in my bag.
Hiiro Amagi
Since it's only a short tour, I don't need to bring a lot of things, right?
Aira Shiratori
Well... you're right.
Aira Shiratori
But at least tell!
Aira Shiratori
*sigh*
Alright, now go shower and get ready.
Eichi-senpai sent a message to me, that at 7:15 everyone should be in front of the apartment.
Tatsumi Kazehaya
Is that so?
Hiiro Amagi
Ok, I'll get ready right away.
Five minutes later in the Apartment lobby.
Eichi Tenshouin
I see you are all ready.
Aira Shiratori
Good morning, Eichi-senpai!
Eichi Tenshouin
Good morning.
Yuzuru Fushimi
Is everyone ready?
Hokuto Hidaka
It seems so.
Hokuto Hidaka
Kagehira and Itsuki-san have arrived.
Yuzuru Fushimi
Soon the bus will arrive.
Tori Himemiya
*enthusiastic*
Hihi, I can't wait any longer!
I heard that the place is known for its beautiful views and natural preservation!
Mao Isara
*nods in agreement*
I've previewed the place, and it's very green and wide.
Tori Himemiya
Huh!?
Why don't you show it to me?!
That's cheating, you know!?
Mao Isara
*confused*
Didn't I share it yesterday?
Yuzuru Fushimi
Yes, you did.
But Young Master was already asleep when you did it, so didn't get to see it.
Tori Himemiya
Aagh!?
Is it true?!
*checks his phone*
It is true!
I'm really sorry, Isara-kun...
Mao Isara
It doesn't matter, after all Subaru also said the same thing this morning.
Subaru Akehoshi
Hey!
I told you not to bring it up again!
Hokuto Hidaka
But that's true, right?
Subaru Akehoshi
Well... that's true.
But it's not my fault I didn't see it.
Selly shared it too late at night, of course I was already asleep.
Hokuto Hidaka
Are you serious?
You didn't even attend the meeting, you went straight to sleep after yesterday's shooting.
Makoto Yuuki
Yes, I've tried to wake you up several times, but you were sleeping very soundly.
Hokuto Hidaka
You also looked really tired, so we let you sleep and went to the meeting.
Subaru Akehoshi
*moved*
Is that so?
I'm a little annoyed, but if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't be able to wake up in the morning.
Makoto Yuuki
Ahahaha, don't you always wake up early?
Subaru Akehoshi
Yes that's correct.
But when my body is tired, I can't force my eyes to stay open.
Tori Himemiya
Is that why I often hear about you sleeping in class?
Subaru Akehoshi
*laughs awkwardly*
No. That is not true.
Subaru Akehoshi
I'm just lazy with history lessons.
Nazuna Nito
So, what if one day history lessons become a way of life?
Subaru Akehoshi
Well... that's another thing...
Tomoya Mashiro
How could you think up to that point, Ni-chan?
Nazuna Nito
I don't know, it just came out like that.
Hajime Shino
Hmm... I hope that what happens in the novels that are currently on the rise doesn't really happen.
Mitsuru Tenma
It's just fiction, written by the author.
How could it come true?
Mao Isara
Yes that's correct.
But there's no harm in being careful.
Yuzuru Fushimi
The bus has arrived in front, prepare your things.
Aira Shiratori
Ahh~ I can't wait any longer.
Hiiro Amagi
Now you're acting like Tori.
Aira Shiratori
Oh, come on!
Who wouldn't be impatient when seeing beautiful and pristine nature?
Tatsumi Kazehaya
It's been a long time since I saw nature that was still preserved.
Mayoi Ayase
Most forests have been converted into cities, so it is rare to find large areas where there are only trees and grass.
Hiiro Amagi
Hearing that reminded me of my hometown.
Even though there are many people's houses, they really take care of the preservation of their surroundings, which makes it always dewy in the morning.
It calms me every time I see it and feel the dew on my face.
Hajime Shino
Sounds fun, it was a wonderful experience, Hiiro-kun.
Nazuna Nito
Yes, I hope I can feel it someday.
Hiiro Amagi
Well then, how about we get on the bus quickly?
Don't areas that are still forested tend to have thicker dew?
Tatsumi Kazehaya
Hiiro-kun is right.
Aira Shiratori
Then I'll go first!
Aira dashed onto the bus and sat on the seat that had been ordered yesterday.
Tori Himemiya
Hey, don't leave us!
Tori followed Aira and sat in his seat.
Eichi Tenshouin
What are you waiting for?
Come on in immediately.
Everyone entered the bus one by one.
After several minutes, Hiiro and his friends arrived at the Rain City bus terminal.
Aira Shiratori
Are we there?
Tatsumi Kazehaya
It seems so, the sign in front also says Rain City Terminal.
Tori Himemiya
Is this just my feelings or... Rain City Terminal... looks deserted.
Mao Isara
That's what Rain City is.
Rain City does not have a large human population, most of Rain City's population are wild animals that are easy to tame.
Because of this, there are only a handful of facilities and buildings here, and there are not many workers either.
Makoto Yuuki
Wow, that's surprising.
Even from the terminal, people would think that Rainy City is a rich city.
Mao Isara
They are indeed rich.
Nazuna Nito
Rich in terms of environment?
Mao Isara
No. Rainy City is indeed a rich city, but most of the money is used to take care of the Rainforest and also an Orphanage.
Nazuna Nito
I had thought about the Rainforest. But an Orphanage?
Mao Isara
Well, this is the secret of Rain City.
Tomoya Mashiro
City Secret?
That's definitely important.
Mao Isara
Most people think it's normal.
Makoto Yuuki
What makes you say that?
Mao Isara
How about we find out for ourselves?
Mika Kagehira
Is that ok?
Since it is the Secret of Rainy City, shouldn't we as visitors respect it by not finding out more?
Mao Isara
That's true, but that's also one of our goals here.
Makoto Yuuki
Our destination?
Mao Isara
Yes, Hiiro-kun already knows about that too.
Aira Shiratori
Hiiro-kun!?
Is it true what Isara-senpai said, Hiiro-kun?
Hiiro Amagi
Hmm... that's right.
Aira Shiratori
I need an explanation, this all confuses me.
Hiiro Amagi
Don't worry, I'll explain when we get to Rainy City Park.
Aira Shiratori
Rainy City Park?
Hiiro Amagi
Yes, that's where our goal is.
And if we follow the instructions I got, we will also meet someone there.
Hiiro et al continued their journey until they arrived at their destination.
