Summer vacation went wrong[1]

Then, on the last day before summer vacation, at 12:00 a.m., Hiru, Miko, and Shizue boarded the same bus.

The reason was simple. Because their hometowns were in the same town. When she and her parents arrived Shizue and her parents had already left for Tokyo.

And Shizue came again after "that" incident and went to live with her grandparents.but when she arrived Hiru and Miko had moved to Tokyo because of their parents' work. In fact, Hiru's and Miko's parents were friends and business partners at the same time.

Shizue studied in her hometown and moved back to Tokyo in the third year of junior high school and payed rent and live in a building. Needless to say, the building was near her house, who was burned down and was never rebuilt.

It was the first time Shizue had ever stayed awake until midnight, and she was about to fall asleep since she had waited for the bus in the middle of the night for over an hour.

The same thing wash happening on the other side. Miko was feeling sleepy, but hiru was feeling nothing. And That's because hiru has a habit of not sleeping much, so he uses his smartphone to distract himself.

And after a while, Shizue gradually closed her eyes and felt sleepy. So did Miko, but hiru just couldn't sleep. Not to mention,they were the only passersby left

*Chew! Chu!*

The sound of an approaching train is clearly audible. Hiru just thought it was a train passing by and ignored it.

But then Shizue suddenly was in a place where only black color existed. In other words, it was like an empty space. But then, out of nowhere, she heard a woman's voice.

"You're awake? That's good to see."

Then voice made Shizue awake and the first thing that she thought was,"where am I?"

"This is simply your dream."

"What? How did you know what I was thinking?...an If this is a dream, why am I here? I can only hear your voice again. Show yourself!"

She doubted the unidentified voice.

"I am only here to deliver a hint that might be useful to you in the future."

"..."

Shizue was silent thinking Talking to that woman was a waste of time, it would take up too much of her time, and she didn't want it.

"It's...It's about getting ready to choose the next step before it's too late..."

"What do you mean?"

"Listen to me very carefully, because time is running out...Do what you think is right and what you will not regret in the future. Then the gate will open by itself. ...".

The strange voices gradually faded away, and when shizue opened her eyes a little to see if Shizue was still in her dream, it was not a dream but she saw Miko and hiru.

" If I had been them, I would not have done this..." she thought.

In the dream, Shizue was wearing a school uniform, but in reality she was wearing a white shirt and a long white skirt.Not to mention, she also had a red rose hairpin in her right,but Hiru and Miko were wearing their uniforms. but the worst thing is that no one paid any attention to that.

"Oh, she woke up!".

Miko exclaimed with joy when she saw Shizue awake.

" shi-- I mean..."

"I don't mind if you call me by my name first name...I...I'm just remembered who you were to me."

Shizue had remembered Hiru After she went to home but she couldn't say that to Hiru.

"What! You know each other!"

Miko was the only one shocked which was obvious because When Miko arrived, Shizue was not there.

Shizue sat upright, and Hiru and Miko, seeing that said nothing.

"It's Ru-chan," Shizue replied.

After hearing that, "Oh...I see." Miko said and looked at Hiru.

"Well...I can't help you."

Hiru was a little embarrassed, but he did not show any such signs.

"In the past when I said 'hiru' she somehow listend 'Ru'. Later she frequently started to calling me 'Ru-chan'."

"You two used to have a really good relationship."

Miko was just trying to tease them, but they did not get it. The reasonwhy Miko tryed to tease was because she thinks that childhood friends are always...you know.

"I have a question," Shizue said.

When Shizue said that both Miko and Hiru looked at Shizue.

"Go. Ask." hiru said.

Shizue asked, "Where are we?

"We are in a cave, as far as I know. When I woke up, Miko was already awake, waiting for me to wake up. Then we both decided to wait for you to wake up."

Hiru replied with the simplest of answers.

"that means...No one went to check the exist place, so no one knows the exist."

"Ha ha...About that..."

Hiru realized, he was stupid because they could have done this.one wait for Shizue and the other go to search the exist.

"We just have to move on up."

"Yeah, maybe..."

"Hey, don't look at me like that! It's just a hypothetical!"

Miko was just trying to motivate Shizue and Hiru, but Shizue just looked at Miko In a strange way.
