A:N: It was tanabata last week in Japan so I thought of this. Tell me what you think of these short chapters. Thanks for the the way, a short overview of the story of tanabata was given in this chapter but you guys could find the whole story online. It's really cute.
We disembark the train at Oborozooka and begin walking to our apartment.
"I've been wondering, why are all those people hanging paper strips on trees" Elma asks.
"Because it's tanabata. The story i"There are so many here, it would take me an entire day to finish reading all" Elma says.
"What did yours say?" she asks me.
"It's a secret"
"Not telling me is making me even more curious. I'll check it" she says, reaching for my wish and reading it.
"I wish Elma would never change" she reads out loud enough so that just the two of us can hear her.
I blush.
Her dimples become more prominent now. "Nai, you're seriously a cutie, you know that?" she says, resting her head on my left shoulder.
"Well, aren't you going to tell me what yours said?"
"I wished for the peace of this world and for you to continue to have good health." she replies.
"That's thoughtful of you. I'll treat you to somen noodles. It's a tanabata special."
"Oooh I can't wait."
