Chapter 1533: Shimizu Trip 1
Along the way, Sakura and Haru talked to each other about Shimizu while eating the bento that they bought at the train station.
Even though Sakura had agreed to go on Shimizu, in truth, she didn't know much about this city and the only thing that she knew was that the Tanabata festival in that city was quite good (based on Haru's story).
In truth, Haru also didn't know much about Shimizu city and only heard that the Tanabata festival in that city was good.
"..."
Hearing such an honest answer from Haru, Sakura was stunned before she laughed.
"What's wrong? You're not going crazy, right?"
"You're the one that gets crazy!"
"Then why are you laughing so suddenly?"
Sakura smiled and said, "Well, I am thinking as long as there's you, anywhere is alright."
"You don't need to worry, I am sure this city is very fun," Haru said with a smile.
Then both of them started their research on Shimizu city.
Shimizu is a town in the Suntou District of Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. it is located at the northern end of the Izu Peninsula. Both the Kakita River and the Kano River flow through the town.
Until it was incorporated into Shizuoka City in 2003, Shimizu was a city of its own centered around its port. Shimizu Port has a number of attractions but is most famous for being among Japan's most scenic ports thanks to views of Mount Fuji on clear days.
"Wow!"
Sakura was amazed by the information about Shimizu city that she had gotten from the internet. She rubbed her chin and said, "It seems this city will be more interesting than I had thought."
Looking at Sakura's reaction, Haru nodded secretly since he knew that it was better for both of them to know the beauty of this city together rather than he guided her so when she found out this city was more interesting than she had thought she had this sense of achievement since both of them decided to research on this city together.
Even though the distance between Tokyo and Shimizu was quite long, it took around two hours for them to arrive, and while talking, Sakura started to get tired and sleepy.
Haru noticed Sakura's state told her to sleep and he would wake her up when they had arrived.
Sakura nodded and didn't reject offers, then directly slept on his shoulder.
Haru looked at the cute girl on his side and couldn't help but smile. He looked out the window and wondered what kind of trip he would have with Sakura later.
"Sakura, Sakura, wake up."
Sakura, who was sleeping, opened her eyes slowly and felt quite sleepy. She wiped her eyes and asked, "Haru, have we arrived?"
"Yeah, are you still sleepy?"
"Um..."
Sakura nodded slowly since she wasn't sure why her sleep was very comfortable with him and she felt very warm.
"Do you want me to carry you?" Haru asked.
"Eh?"
Sakura was startled, but before she answered, she was picked by Haru's strong arm and carried by him.
"Huh?"
Sakura looked at Haru, who didn't seem unfazed, lifting her with one hand.
"Haru, am I not heavy?"
Sakura had forgotten about her sleepiness and asked.
"You're heavy."
"Haru!!"
Sakura pouted and hit his chest several times since she felt annoyed.
"If you're heavy then I won't do this. Don't worry, you're as light as a feather," Haru said with a light smile.
"...I don't think that I'm as light as a feather, though..."
"So you don't want to be carried? I'll let you down now," Haru said and was going to put Sakura down but...
"No!"
Sakura quickly hugged Haru's neck happily and gave a peck on his cheek. "If you bring me back to the hotel then I will give you a reward." In truth, she felt very embarrassed when she said this, but it didn't really matter anyway since she was his and she couldn't help but say those words to him.
Haru then didn't say much and quickly walked out of the train station to get a taxi to the hotel since he was curious about his reward.
Looking at Haru who was very eager, Sakura was a bit panicked, but she was also happy since she had prepared his reward, though, she wasn't going to give it right away.
Along the way, there were some people that were looking at both Haru and Sakura.
The male didn't say much, but the female was looking at Sakura with an envious gaze, after all, her boyfriend was very considerate.
Haru might be scum, but because he was scum, he knew very well how a woman's heart was working. If he didn't know that, then it was impossible for him to become scum.
If it was at the usual hours, Sakura might be embarrassed since there were a lot of people at the train station, but at night, there weren't many people so she felt Haru's action by carrying her was very sweet.
While walking, Sakura kept asking whether Haru was tired or alright since she was afraid that it would tire him since he needed to walk while carrying her on his arm.
"It's alright, you don't need to worry. Just stay there," Haru said and didn't give Sakura a chance to talk back.
Sakura pouted, but she didn't say much, resting her body on him, hugging him tightly since she felt secure with him around.
'If you keep being kind to me, then I can't get away from you...'
Sakura then put her head on his shoulder, trying to hide her tears.
Haru glanced at Sakura before stopping the taxi, then telling the driver to go to the best hotel in town. He then looked at Sakura who was resting on his lap.
"You're alright?"
"Um..." Sakura nodded then looked at him with a smile. "I am alright."
"That's good," Haru said with a smile.
"....."
Sakura was stunned for a bit then looked around before she stole Haru's lips sneakily.
Haru blinked his eyes and felt a bit dumbfounded, but before he could respond, Sakura parted her lips and smiled cutely while sticking out her tongue.
'Why is this girl so cute?'
Haru hugged her and put her head gently on his chest so she could rest.
Along the way, they could see a lot of decorations of the Tanabata festival on the street, and Haru and Sakura also talked with the driver so he knew that there would be a festival tomorrow which made them quite anticipating their trip.
"I can't wait for tomorrow."
"Me too, I can't wait for tomorrow."
Sakura glanced at Haru and had already made up her mind to give him a reward, but then again, she was wondering when she should give him.
"What's wrong?" Haru asked with confusion.
"No - Nothing!"
Sakura looked away with a blush before nestling on Haru's chest.
Haru didn't say much and patted Sakura's head, wondering whether this girl had not only had her pancreas fail, but also her head since she often smiled so suddenly.
Anyway, two lovers started their journey to Shimizu city, wondering what would happen to the two of them when there was nothing that could stop them anymore.
