"Going somewhere?" I was startled by someone behind me, I look back and saw Sano Manjiro, I blink twice to confirm if it really was him and yes It is him there is no mistake about it but his different, he dye his hair raven blue and he had bangs now
"I've got to do something, didn't Yuusuke and Sasuke told you about it?" I said and check on my bag if the items are all clear
Manjiro notices what was inside, he saw guns on the bag and a lot of stuffs for assassination
"are you going to do something dangerous?" he asked, he doesn't seems worried
"no, no, no, this is nothing, I'm just going to pick up the goods" I said and put the bag inside the trunk
"Good morning Yousei-kun, Manjiro-kun" said Yuusuke having a book in his hand
"Ohayo" I respond and Manjiro only look at him
"Tell Doma about the thing I requested" it was Sasuke full of sweat from exercising, typical swordsmanship
"I'll get your sword don't worry" I mentioned
"why don't you go with her" said Yuusuke to Manjiro
I was startled, "HAH!!!!"
"Sounds nice to me" said Manjiro and currently ride in
"Why do you have to invite him??" I complained to Yuusuke and Sasuke
"Isn't it a great idea" said Yuusuke and laugh weirdly
"What are you even thinking!!!" I muttered
"Don't you miss him?" said Sasuke
"This is the opportunity" said Yuusuke
They were smiling at me
what's there to be happy about?
"Anyway, I'm off" I said
Manjiro doesn't hear what we were talking about, it's only between me, Yuusuke and Sasuke
I get in the car and started the engine, and we were so quiet, I glanced at Manjiro and he was looking outside the window
I suddenly remember what Sasuke said
'Don't you miss him?'
I do, I really do miss him, very very much
but this is not the Manjiro I know
I stop on a store, I get out of the car and bought a lot of taiyaki and dorayaki mix box, I saw Manjiro still on his position
"Thank you, Please Come Again" it's ready
I get it and payed for it and smiled at the vendor
"Thank You Oji-san"
"What a nice girl you are" he said and flashes a smile
I was surprised, "I-I-Im a boy oji-san"
"You can't fool me young lady, now go ahead seems like the young man is waiting for you" he smiled and I saw him look at Manjiro whose inside the car
"Thank you again Oji-san" I smiled one last time to Oji-san
I went back inside the car and handed the box to Manjiro which surprised him, I move once again and we're now on the road
"What was this for?" he asked and saw it was his favorite
"You didn't have breakfast haven't you, now eat" I mumbled and focused my attention through the road
"I did though" he whispered
he opened the box and eat, Later that moment he handed me one piece of Taiyaki
"T-thank you" I stuttered
he didn't replied anything, I continue to drive, but then I get down again when I spotted flowery shop, I bought a lot of flowers, we stop to the cemetery after and I drop down, he stayed at the car and I said I won't take long
I went to deliver this flower to every each of them— my family— my friends— my members— and the others, then after bidding my goodbye to them I look for those toman guys and give them flowers and stayed for a while
"Why are you here?" I was shock, I saw Manjiro
"I heard about it" I said and walk pass through him
he followed, "I never told you about my story"
"I didn't said it was you who told me" I mumbled
"Then who?" he muttered
"Seijuro"
I get in the car and waited for him to get on before I started driving again
We had lunch to a restaurant, and after we eat of course we are back to driving
Time flies and it's already afternoon, the sunset is setting this place really took a long way trip
Manjiro's asleep and I can't afford to wake him up, he must be tired, and when it's finally evening we are getting and getting closer to the place
Not so long ago Manjiro woke up and went back to his position earlier, and for another 1 hour we had arrived to our destination. To Doma's place this mansion was once belong to Soma's, Doma's grandmother
I get put of the car get the loads of bags and entered the mansion with Manjiro on my left, I saw a lot of Doma's servants as usual, and not that long Doma appeared
"You came" he said, I put all the bags on one table
"The things I requested, and also Sasuke's request" I said and sat down on the couch
"Got it" he wrote down something on a paper and give it to his servant on his right, and ask for the servant on his left to get the goods
Manjiro sat across me, and Doma seems confused about him and I know he already know that his a new member
"Where do you plan to use those?" he is mentioning the goods
"you know where" I answered
"Are they moving again?"
I nod, "Yes there seems a sign for it that's why we are preparing for the worst scenario"
"if you need anything just tell me" Doma said
A servant had brought us coffee and cake, Manjiro dig in, and it seems he liked the cake
"Where do you get this?" Manjiro asked Doma
"It's our family's recipe" said Doma
Doma on the other hand whispered something to a servant and when the servant came back, the servant brought as three box of different cakes
"Thank you" I said
"Anytime" said Doma
When the goods arrived, Doma invited us for dinner before we go, we had a great dinner, after dinner we are good to go, The goods are on the trunk and the cakes are at the back sits, I drove back, It's evening and I'll drive till the morning
And to what I had expected we arrived at exactly 6:46am, I didn't take any sleep but staring for Manjiro's face while sleeping satisfy me. Feelings won't change that easily, I guess. After all this time I'm still in love with this guy.
I brought the goods inside and Manjiro help me, he also get the cake and eat a few slice for each cake, I was so tired so I went straight to my room change my clothes and went to bed, I'm so sleepy I need sleep—
