Chapter 1 Arrived at Kanagawa
"Shuu-kun, please pass me those boxes next to you." A middle-aged male, with violet-blue hair, standing by the staircase, said to the teenage boy that was unpacking boxes by the sofa. The teenage boy, with navy blue hair, handed over three boxes to the middle aged male.
"Sei-chan, do you know which boxes belong to me?" A teenage girl, which has an appearance similar to the boy, come out of the kitchen. She pointed to the boxes that belonged to the boy, then went back to tidy up the kitchen.
This Yukimura family arrived at Kanagawa yesterday afternoon. They have to move from Nagoya to Kanagawa, due to the work transfer of Yukimura Shūhei. They are unpacking their stuffs to their new house in Kanagawa. It is a two stories house with a little garden.
Yukimura Shūichi, the elder brother, and Yukimura Seiichi, the younger sister, are dizygotic twins. They are going to become high school students of Rikkaidai Fuzoku Kōkō in the new semester started from this April, which will be the day after tomorrow. Since the tidy up is almost finish, Yukimura papa told the two teenagers to go out and have a little walk, so that they can get use to the new environment and prevent them from getting lost in their first day of school. Although it will be very stupid for them to get lost on their way to school, as their new house is just 10 minutes walking away from their new school. The school is straight ahead of them as they just turn the corner that is to the left of their house. The way to the school is so simple and easy, so they decided to turn right instead. Sei-chan is looking at the navigation on her phone, checking for the location of the nearest shopping district, so she could buy some food and ingredient to fill up the empty fridge at home. Shuu-kun is just following her and looking around aimlessly. His blue eyes widen when they walk past a street tennis court, some boys around his age are having a match.
"Sei-chan" Shuu-kun called his younger sister, without taking an eye off the match. Sei-chan stopped and tilted her head to one side, looked at her elder brother behind her confusedly. She followed his eyes to see what causes her brother to be so concentrate. She understood what was happening as soon as she saw the tennis court. She knows Shuu-kun loves tennis; she knows he hasn't played tennis for nearly half-a-year. This is all because of her, her academic results are normally just above average, and since the day that papa told them about the work transfer, Shuu-kun had to tutor her every day in order for her to be able to get into Rikkaidai Fuzoku Kōkō. Their house in Nagoya was far away from their school, so he decided not to join the school tennis club. He didn't want to leave early and return home late just for attending the morning training and afternoon training sections of the tennis club. If he joined the tennis club, he would definitely become a regular with his skill. There isn't any tennis court around their house either, so Shuu-kun could only do the basic training and not be able to have a match with the others. She looked into her brother's eyes, she realised that he wanted to join those boys and challenge them to a match.
"I'll come back for you after I finished the shopping." She said to her brother, she wanted him to have fun and enjoy with the tennis that he loved so much.
"Sei-chan, you are the best~" He turned to her with a big happy innocent smile on his face before he went toward the tennis court. Sei-chan smiled as she watched the back of her brother for a while, before turning back and continues her way to the shopping district. She hadn't seen that smile for a long time, he only show that expression when he is very very happy, which most of the time would be playing tennis with a strong, worthy opponent. This is one of the reasons for choosing the Rikkaidai; they got so many good players in the school to keep Shuu-kun happy.
It is nearly five o'clock by the time Sei-chan arrived the shopping district. After she brought some ingredient and some daily supplies, she thought is kind of late for preparing dinner at home. Since Shūhei is not having dinner at home tonight, leaving just her and Shuu-kun, so she decided to have something pre-cooked from shop or restaurant in the district. When she walk in the district, looking around for shops and restaurants, she saw a restaurant called らーめん桑原 (Ramen Kuwahara); Shuu-kun love ramen, so she decided to call her brother to see if he have ramen as dinner.
"Moshi moshi, Sei-chan, have you finished yet? I just finished a great match with a guy. When are you coming back?" Shuu-kun answered the phone with a happy voice.
"Shuu-kun, do you want ramen for dinner? I am still at the shopping district."
"Oh, great! We got ramen restaurant close to our house, text me the address. I'm coming." Sei-chan looked at the hung up phone helplessly. She was planning to buy take away from the restaurant then go home to finish the tidy up, but she guessed she has to change her plan now. She sighed and walked into the restaurant to get a table for two.
