8 October, Thursday

As Kenji is about to set off from home to school, he receives a text.

健二:ん、メールだ。

He wonders what’s in it.

健二:なんだこれ、懸賞?これって、もしかして…。

He reads for a while

健二:…。

and finds out that he has won another trip for 2 to Atami.

健二:熱海旅行一泊二日。ペアご招待…。

Why don’t I ever get this kind of offers?

健二:やっぱり…また当たった。俺って強運?(どうしよう。またマナカ姫と行けるかな…)

Then again, getting to go overseas with my family at least once a year isn’t all that bad, right?

I mean, this time I get to be tour coordinator in Japan.

They hold hands as they walk to school together.

Manaka has also made lunch for Kenji today.

As they walk back from school

健二:マナカ姫。

愛花:なに?

健二:実はまた当たったんだ。熱海旅行。

愛花:ほんと?すごい…。

健二:うん、だからさ。また一緒に行かない?

愛花:…うん。また、行きたい。

健二:そっか、よかった。

愛花:いつにしようか?

健二:そうだな…。

Kenji looks at his schedule carefully.

17th is too tight a schedule (need to bring some Japanese students around Singapore), 24th is your birthday. Leaves no choice but 31st.

健二:じゃあ。10月31日からの1泊2日で!

愛花:うん!

健二:(またマナカ姫と旅行に行けるぞ!)

31st is Halloween, but I am willing to burn off that event for you.

Kenji then goes to the indoor pool for the evening.

健二:ここ、人目につかなそうな場所もあったんだな。ここなら彼女と二人きりになれるかも…。

He returns home to sleep, and imagines Manaka telling him

このつけ麺…あなたの面影があるね。
