Ginotsu

"Well then tomorrow morning after breakfast I will take you home." Kyoko said. "Well anyways good night." She went to her room to go to sleep. Her room was furnished like the other rooms in the building.

The next morning, Kyoko got up and got ready. She put on capri pants, a beige blouse and a simple necklace with a blue pendant. She then make omurice for breakfast, hoping the smell would wake Tashiro up and have him rushing in to get some grub that she made.

When Kyoko told him to have a good night, Tashiro smiled and waved back. "Have a good night as well." As she left to her room Tashiro decided to slowly finish his sake giving him some time to think. "Wonderful Village and wonderful people. Its almost like something out of a fairy tale, but here I am enjoying the best hospitality since...well ever. I can see myself calling this place home." He spoke quietly to himself as he finished the last of his sake before going to his room.

In the morning the smell of food tickled Tashiro awake. He slowly sat up and wiped his eyes. "Man, that smells so good...but I have no money to pay for it...well maybe she might be willing to share some but man just asking her makes me feel even more guilty...wait! Remember! You are going to pay her back for this any way you can!" He gave himself a guilt speech and pep talk before standing up and made his way over where the smell originated from. "Good morning!" He exclaimed with a smile on his face.

"Good morning! Eat up on the omurice and when you have finished and gotten ready, then I can drive you back home." Kyoko said to Tashiro. "Do you live in Kokuro town or are you from a bit further away such as Ashigaru city?" Kyoko asked so she would know which direction to drive once Tashiro was ready to go.

(Short post. Do not know what else to write.)

"Um...T-Thank you very much." Tashiro slightly blushed when Kyoko let him eat. As he sat down to eat Kyoko asked him where he lived. "Oh yeah, I live a small ways away from Kokuro town in a quiet part of the woods. Sure it may have some animal and bug problems but other then that its home." Tashiro spoke as he began to eat the omurice.

(No problemo)

"Animal and bug problems? Are there monkeys digging in your trash and tons of moths flying around your place? If so, then maybe coming here would be better for you." Kyoko said. "Eat up, I gotta shower and change quickly and then we can leave."

Kyoko then went to shower. She had been cleaning all morning and was a bit sweaty from it. When done, she dried off and put on capri jeans, a light short sleeved tunic, anklets, sandals, her pendant necklace and dark blue ribbon choker. She only put a single braid in her hair. She then returned with keys in hand. "Okay, when you are ready we can go." Kyoko said. Pointing outside to a little kei convertible.

"If I had that problem I think I would have moved out years ago..." Tashiro chuckled as he began to now focus on his food when Kyoko went to go shower. Once she returned, Tashiro stood from his seat and began to stretch for a little bit. "I guess it's time to head out. Once we arrive at Kokuro town I will give you the directions to my home since it's well difficult for anyone to navigate that maze of a forest. Thankfully the only dead ends there have some nice viewing spots."

They got into Kyoko's car and drove off. They drove through the valley with mountains and forests passing by. The drive was probably 30 or 40 minutes until they got to the town of Kokuro. Kyoko then asked: "So please navigate me to your place." She smiled at him. The town itself was quite large compared to the village. Probably 40 or 50 times the population of Ginotsu. From here you could get to larger cities but also take a bus or the train to the villages.

As they drove through the valley, Tashiro occupied himself with his phone to pass the time. 30 or 40 minutes passed before they arrived at Kokuro, he then pocketed his phone before speaking. "From here you want to make a left here, keep going forward until you reach the third stoplight, take a right on that third stoplight until you make it to the outskirts of town. After we make it that far you should come across some woods, enter the woods and drive for about five minutes then make a left, my house should be there." Tashiro spoke.
