"And so then, this huge koi fish jumped out of the water! And Kona-Chan began to scream because it splashed her!" Mayu giggled as she watched Takuto hold his stomach from his laughter. His abdominals hurt so bad he could barely walk. He hadn't laughed this hard in a very long time. The story just seemed to make him laugh with every word she spoke.
"Oh my god Mayu-Chan! Hahahahah! Stop! You're killing me! Hhahahahhaha!" Mayu and Takuto laughed dramatically hard on their long walk back to the hotel.
"Oh gosh, I never want that to happen to me! EVER! Hahaha!- Wait a second… Mayu-Chan… Where are Hayase-San, and Tamaru?!" Takuto stopped laughing in an instance and began to look franticly around.
"Oh my gosh! Were we having such a good time we didn't even realize they could have gotten lost! How foolish of me! I feel so bad Takuto-Chan! What if they're lost!?" Mayu spoke as frantic as Takuto was acting.
"I don't know Mayu… maybe they're both just farther back!?" he suggested.
"Maybe they went back to the hotel! Let's go look!" Mayu grabbed Takuto's hand and they both started to run as fast as they could. While running, Takuto happened to glace to his right and see a very shadowed, dark, eerie path…
"Huh? Wait, hold on a second Mayu-Chan!" The duo stopped and Mayu noticed the path as soon as they stopped.
"Takuto-Chan, where do you think that path leads…" She grabbed Takuto's arm and he held her close. The area seemed colder… And somewhat unsettling. Takusa realized then that her and Mayu were almost the same height. Takusa was a slight bit taller, but not by much. So she kind of stood firmer to seem more… Manly? She almost giggled from what she was thinking but held her composure strong.
"Takuto-Chan… Look, there's a sign…" Takuto saw the sign and read it's contents…
Danger down this path!
Turn back! Huge cliff!
It will kill you if fallen from! Do not go down this path!
Turn back Now!
DEATH IS CERTAIN
THIS IS YOUR WARNING!
"Oh.. My…God… that has to be some huge cliff for people to put a scary sign like THAT out…" Mayu nodded her head and gave Takuto a concerned look.
"Lets go back and tell the teachers about this, so no one gets hurt… Okay?"
"I agree, lets go!" Takuto and Mayu ran all the way back to the hotel in full energy. They were trembling at the idea that someone could fall off that cliff and die instantly, and it wasn't something to think about.
"Thank you both for informing us about this…" Mr. Souma said sternly.
"Yes, you two were very brave and noble to report something scary like that. Thank you!" Miss Miyuki added on. Miss Miyuki was the 2nd years English teacher, and a chaperone for this field trip.
"Your welcome Sensei!" Mayu and Takuto bowed as a thank you for their noble dead they had done. After a few more moments of chat, the two walked away into the main lobby of the hotel.
"Takuto-Chan, I know we probably helped our class stay safe, but we still haven't found Kona-Chan and Tamaru-Sempai… They're starting to worry me…" Mayu said putting her hand on Takuto's shoulder. Takuto looked at Mayu and nodded in agreement.
"They have been gone an awfully long time. Maybe they're both in their rooms! Hayase-San IS staying with you, right?" Mayu quickly nodded and looked down her hallway. Her room was on the first floor.
"I'm gonna go check my room okay? You go check yours for Tamaru-Senpai. If he isn't there, meet me back here in 5 minutes okay?" Mayu said firmly.
Takuto nodded and started for the elevator. Noticing a sign that said "ELEVATOR INOPERABLE", made him grudgingly take the stairs to his fifth story hotel room. Which he did not want to do in a time like this…
