Brighter Paths Were Waiting To Be Explored By Them

Soon, another hectic week of working and attending classes followed, leaving the sorrow and unpleasantness of the previous week behind. 

Until now, Hisaki had yet to check the contents of the box properly.

She only opened the lid and found that aside from several notebooks that looked worn out, there was another leather-bound book with an ink drawing of a shrine. The other thing was a small wooden box that had intricate carvings on its surface.

"What did she write in these books?"

Despite being so interested, Hisaki pushed her curiosity at bay. Somehow, she still needed to feel ready to implore the secrets that might be hidden in the books.

It was still in the middle of spring when flowers were still boasting their colorful petals. The fresh spring breeze harmonized with the salty air coming from the nearby beach.

With the mild temperature despite the sun shining brightly in the sky, more and more people flocked to the beach.
