Rintarõ.... _Umm, where are we headed? I got caught up in the moment and just felt like walking heh~_

Her friends burst into chuckles until they couldn't breathe. A minute or so passed till finally stopping to take charge. First on the list was canoeing.

Kiyo wasn't much different from Ai when it came to scheduling plans for her outing events. Plus her energetic body topped Rin's by a double. Sweet bird chirps drew in from the trees hovering over the three-boarded canoe flowing through the narrow stream. Tree Shades acting as dozens of umbrellas cajoled all three girls to paddle slowly while enjoying a cool atmosphere.

The Sukuna stream, a narrow path of slightly shallow water flowing from the park's left end to the right. Supposedly a natural spring existed and was dug up to make a small river. Discovering such beauty the owner made a narrow stream that stretched from the river to another end. He created pipes that led to the surrounding communities' water system. But not only did he improve a nice water source, he also chose an ideal place for the stream's path. People would do canoeing under the cool shades of evergreen trees naturally grown bent over the water. And to top it off they produced beautiful red blooms in summer, quite the spectacular sight protected from the hot sun. Haruno's eyes remained hypnotized throughout the entire thing, and so did her friends. As much as she enjoyed it all, a certain emotion sprung from within. "If only Kei was here to share the beautiful moment," whispers flew in her head. Paused by the feeling taking over, her too quick to understand the situation friends couldn't help but grab a chance at teasing.

Rintarõ.... _Ha ha very funny. Anyway, what's next?_

Kiyohime.... _I hear there's also a wishing well. Thought we might just wanna check it out._

Rintarõ.... _Ok sure, i definitely wouldn't want to miss a wishing chance. (Maybe i could even get this year's annual series release Hehe)_

Merumi.... _Oh and while we're at it let's stop by an ice cream stall. I'm feeling a bit...., you know._

She looked up the sky only to stone herself with regret after meeting mr blinding sun. The hot mirage-making air wasn't exactly forgiving on a supposed to be splendid saturday. Far from fun it was hell for irked Rin. She swam in different thoughts while strolling through the suffocating hundreds of people. Some performing magic tricks, mimes and others enjoying each other's company on benches. Which made her feel lonely and a tad envious. Time pressed on too fast as they participated in their well wishing.

A little while later they joined in on some events around. Laughter from Ai's funny jokes and juicy tales of romance from Kiyo filled up most of their activities while sipping on smoothies. But instead of absorbing the fun, Rintaro's mind was elsewhere. She heard echoes of a desirous daring heart longing for something she couldn't quite pinpoint. And of course her oblivious little heart didn't wanna rationalize the thought of it being someone instead of something. Thankfully there were those overflowing with kindness among her friends.

No sooner after they finished buying floral yukatas (light cotton kimono) did the sky turn dark flowing with a sea of stars. "What a wonder," thought Rin leering up the slightly clouded sky. She was standing in front of the Sukuna park gate alongside her friend. Apparently Kiyo had something in store so they stood in silence staring upwards. Lowly under her breath, Ai said something out of the blue.

Merumi.... _Thank you for a wonderful day Rin_

When Haruno turned to look back, her eyes met a surprising sight.
