Awakening

The educational trip this year was similar to last year, that was, the majority of the participants were the first year student. Plus, there were a lot of people who came along with their boyfriend or girlfriend, so the total number was huge. At the starting day, all of them gathered inside the Terminal building at Tokyo Haneda Airport.

Although the first and second-year student were originally planned to go to Kagoshima and the third and fourth-year student to go to Hokkaido, at the registration time, there were a lot of third and fourth-year student who changed their destination to Kagoshima. Putting aside the pure tourism point of view, those students all have the same characteristic, that was, none of them have any or temporarily not have a girlfriend.

Facing the greedy eyes of myriad seniors, those first and second-year male students became tensed. They even took the shortest time possible when going to the toilet, for fear of leaving their chosen target for too long, in order to avoid being taken advantage of.

“Masashi, where is your sister?” Takeda looked around.

“She is accompanying her friend to buy something, wait a minute and she will be back. What about Yoshikawa?”

“God knows where that guy went. Perhaps he went out to hunt Narimura Haruko.”

“Then why don’t you go with him? Aren’t you participating this educational trip because of Narimura Haruko?”

“Do not mention it, Haruko is too hard to get, when you see Yoshikawa, you will know what I mean. So I decided to change my goal. Now I find that someone’s sister is more beautiful than ever, therefore, as a good friend aren’t you supposed to help me?” Takeda brazenly said.

“As I said, you are not her type, I advise you to give it up. But if you insist on trying, I will not stop you, but do not expect me to help you either.”

“You don’t even want to help, hateful guy,” Takeda said bitterly.

Lei Yin was too lazy to care for him. He looked down at the little girl sitting on his lap: “Kid, wait until we arrive in Kagoshima, and I will take you to the Onsen there. The Onsen in Kagoshima is quite famous.”

“What’s an Onsen?” The little girl widely opened her eyes to look at him.

“In the vicinity of a volcanic crater, there are some rock holes, and from that holes came out the groundwater. Because they are located in the nearby Volcano, the groundwater is boiled by the lava. This boiling hot groundwater is called Onsen. People can soak inside this Onsen.” Lei Yin explained to her.

“Then what is the difference between Onsen and a hot bath?” The little girl cocked her head to think for a moment, and then asked.

Lei Yin said with a smile: “Because the water in Onsen is from the groundwater, they are rich in minerals, and that is good for the body. But the feelings when taking a hot bath is indeed not much difference than soaking in Onsen, perhaps the only difference is, the Onsen is much larger than a bathtub. By the way, can you swim? If not, when we’re there, I will teach you how to swim in the Onsen, Ok?”

“Okay.” The little girl very happily smiled.

Half an hour later, all of them boarded the aircraft.

Looking down from the increasingly rising in altitude airplane window, the blocks of buildings were getting smaller and smaller.

I hope this trip won’t be too boring. Lei Yin watched Amy gleefully looking at the scenery outside her window.
