Chapter 444 Two-Particular person Journey in Kyoto

Edited by: Kanaa-senpai

Natsumi Shima’s POV

It was a barely chilly Saturday morning, not like some other. The downbound Shinkansen practice we boarded turned out to be surprisingly crowded. Within the open-seating automotive, I seen the presence of a foreigner dragging a giant trunk.

Whereas vacationers usually seen within the metropolis are largely from China, Korea, and different Asian international locations, at the moment, the passengers on this automotive have been solely white vacationers, probably from America or Europe. More than likely a bunch of vacationers who had completed exploring Tokyo and have been now heading to Osaka or Kyoto.

”Nonetheless, I’m wondering why they selected Kyoto… Anyway, assembly Takata have to be the principle function.”

I intentionally voiced my dissatisfaction to Rin-chan, who was sitting subsequent to me. Touring with a cute youthful woman like her may appear interesting, however truthfully, I wasn’t too thrilled about that side.

To start with, I discover Takata, the strict public morals committee head, fairly troublesome to get together with. Whereas Ui-chan would possibly share some compatibility along with her as a consequence of their strict sides, I had completely no components in me that would result in a pleasant relationship.

Definitely, Takata’s angle had modified fairly a bit after summer time break, however that doesn’t imply my discomfort disappeared.

”Critically, isn’t it a bit harsh to instantly disappear from college with out an evidence? It’s irritating to be left questioning and not using a cause, you recognize? Hey, isn’t that proper? Will you exit with me?”

Rin-chan checked out me with a slight tilt of her head and an upward gaze.

She most likely has a behavior of coaxing boys like this, however even when she makes use of that tactic on me, I can’t assist however smile wryly.

(However nonetheless…)

her trend as soon as once more, she wore a white turtleneck with a fake leather-based miniskirt and lengthy boots. She’s extremely trendy.

Alternatively, I’m carrying a hand-me-down sweatshirt from my massive sister (Shiratori’s mom) and dishevelled cargo pants. The distinction in our female kinds is staggering. It’s like a heavyweight towards a Mild flyweight in boxing.

(In fact, I don’t dislike dressing effectively. For instance, if I have been on a visit with Kijima, I’d make extra of an effort. However for sightseeing and strolling round like this, consolation takes precedence. Regardless that I envy how cute ladies can pull off these outfits…)

However Kijima’s surrounded by cute ladies anyway. And Rin-chan can also be fairly cute.

In fact, this woman is known for the incident she was concerned in, and contemplating that womanizer Kijima treats such a cute woman with respect, I can’t completely fathom the scenario.

(However… even when it’s only a façade, Kijima appears to genuinely like Rin-chan. He stated he wouldn’t change how he treats her till she graduates… however what about after that?)

I inadvertently let loose a sigh.New novel chapters are revealed on

”Nonetheless… was it okay for me to return alongside? I’m glad you invited me, however…”

Now that I give it some thought, my relationship with this junior named Fukuda Rin isn’t precisely peculiar. Frankly, except for her title and yr, I do know nothing about her, but we’ve already gone so far as a threes*me.

I don’t even know the place she lives, but I’m accustomed to her ahegao face. It’s a relationship that’s both fairly deep or shallow, I’m undecided.

”In fact, it’s fantastic! In spite of everything, there’s nobody else in addition to Natsumi-neechan who would come on a visit with me… Additionally, there’s an opportunity, proper? Perhaps when Natsumi-neechan be part of me, Kijima-senpai would possibly resolve to return too.”

Rin-chan playfully caught her tongue out as she appeared up at me.

”Truly, I did point out it to him. However he’s not approaching this journey as a result of he’s head over heels for me or something…”

”Huh!? Critically, Natsumi-neechan? However isn’t Kijima-senpai actually cares loads about Natsumi-neechan? Even on the lodge, he handled you otherwise from me!”

”Is that so?”

”Properly, on the best way to Iwakura, there’s a well-known ramen battleground at Ichijoji.”

”Ramen? Coming to Kyoto for ramen…”

”You see, Kyoto is an outdated metropolis, so these ramen retailers will need to have a protracted historical past, most likely. Like, a few of them might need been round for the reason that Heian interval, or one thing.”

”Critically!?”

”They’re most likely even talked about in The Pillow E-book or The Story of Genji. Like, ‘At Ichijoji’s ramen, wealthy and chewy, it’s scrumptious.’”

(No method, although. I imply, I attempted to play alongside, however there’s no method that occurred.)

As I nodded alongside, I might see Rin-chan’s eyes have been elsewhere.

”Um, umm, sis. By the best way, I heard that Natsuki-neechan speaks with a Kansai accent.”

”Actually? Grandpa’s from Wakayama, so he might need a little bit of a Kansai intonation.”

”Intonation…”

For some cause, Rin-chan appeared distant.

”Uh, effectively, sis… by the best way, is there wherever you’d like to go to in Kyoto?”

”Go to? Hmm… Not your common locations like Kiyomizu Temple or Kinkakuji. I don’t know… Oh, however discovering one thing scrumptious to eat can be good.”

I discussed, and Rin-chan gave my shoulder a playful pat.

”If that’s the case, there’s Iwakura in Sakyo Ward. Apparently, it’s a vacationer spot related to somebody named ‘Iwakura Tomomi’.”

”Who’s that? Tomomi-chan… May she be an idol from the Showa period?”

”In all probability.”

”Anyway… What about you, Rin-chan? Any locations you actually need to go in Kyoto?”

”Locations I need to go? Um… effectively, common spots like Kiyomizu Temple or Kinkakuji are fantastic, however in case you’re asking about someplace I actually need to go…”

”The place?”

”Properly, on the best way to Iwakura, there’s a well-known ramen battleground at Ichijoji.”

”Ramen? Coming to Kyoto for ramen…”

”Yeah. You see, Kyoto is an outdated metropolis, so these ramen retailers will need to have a protracted historical past, most likely. Like, a few of them might need been round for the reason that Heian interval, or one thing.”

”Critically!?”

”They could even be talked about in The Pillow E-book or The Story of Genji. Like, ‘At Ichijoji’s ramen, wealthy and chewy, it’s scrumptious.’”

(No method, although. I imply, I attempted to play alongside, however there’s no method that occurred.)

However it’s true that many Japanese are inclined to neglect that ramen is definitely a Chinese language dish.”

Whereas we have been having that dialog, the practice announcement notified us of our arrival at Kyoto Station.
