Prologue:"Nnnnooooo!I want a shirley temple!Not some orange juice for kids!" These words were blurted out by a 17 year old boy who was now flying above
the Pacific Ocean in a plane.He was flying towards what people deemed to be the land of the East.
flashback
"I am going to the Japan and that 's final!" This boy was talking to his parents and sister at that time, who was ultimately opposed to his plans.
"Son, you can't just fly to Japan and enter high school there!Its expensive and unreasonable!"
"Why would you think of doing such a thing anyway!?"
"I 'm telling you!Its just important to me!Trust me! I 'll be back during holidays."
"It isn't because of her,is it?"
Kei merely froze at this line and kept silent.Slowly,he lifted himself up and said seriously "I 'm going and that 's final."
And with that he took off.
end of flashback
Right now,he was complaining to a flight attendent about a right to good drinks,hoping that the flight attendent would just submit.
"Sir with all due respect,we don't serve alcoholic drinks aboard this plane."
"Like I said, its not an alcoholic cocktail.Don't you have anything else then?"
"We have only juice drinks and the like."
Seeing that this was going nowhere,he agreed to have just lemonade.Hopefully,he will be able to taste the specialities of a certain bartender who owned Eden hall soon.That wasn't so important now, he thought as he reached for his laptop and began to access his email account.He checked for mail but found nothing.He was particularly worried for a Japanese friend whom he chatted with online.He hoped to find some new messages,though he only saw the previous emails left in his account.The last email went something like this:
"I don't know what to do!Kei-kun,I just don't know what to do.He 's leaving me soon,I just know it!I will be left all alone soon,with nothing to guide me.My world is crumbling and I can't do anything.What should I do, Kei-kun?!"And that was it.
He was bothered by this since last month,when the mail came in.Ever since then he worked his butt off at odd jobs to get money for going to Japan.
He felt that it was foolish to go there without leads on his friend.However he did have one particular name in mind that might belong to his friend.
Kaede,the name that was seen in her email address.
"Just wait for me, Kaede!I 'm on the way."
