Chapter 58 Osaka and Nara

Ichika's POV

Here is how our second day in Kyoto went.

We did rehearsals during the morning, spent the afternoon exploring more of Kyoto, and had our show at night.

The next morning, we traveled to the next stop on our tour; which was Osaka.

"Alright", Hiroshi started once we had settled down at the hotel we were staying at. "Once again, you girls have the rest of the day off. But tonight, I am treating you all to a traditional Bunraku show at the National Bunraku Theatre!"

"Really", Saki asked excitedly.

"Hiroshi-San", Honami started. "You really don't need to treat us to all these things. After all, we wouldn't be even be here without you."

"Please don't say that, Honami", Hiroshi said. "A record label would be nothing without talent to represent them. So just see this as my way of thanking you girls."

"Honami", Shiho started. "If Hiroshi-Ojisan wants to do nice things for us, just let him do them."

"Okay", Honami said, before bowing down. "I'm sorry if I have offended you, Hiroshi-San!"

After Honami said this, Hiroshi chuckled before giving her a pat on her head.

"You're such a kind girl, Honami", he stated. "There's no need to apologise."

After Hiroshi said this, he clasped his hands together.

"Well then", he started. "I've got other things to attend to. You girls enjoy the rest of your day, and I'll you all tonight."

"Bye, Hiroshi-San", I said.

Then, he left.

"Alright then", Saki started. "We have the rest of the day off! What are you gonna do?"

"I think we should go to Osaka Castle", Honami suggested.

"Good idea, Hona-Chan", Saki said. "Alright everybody, let's go!"

…

After going to Osaka Castle, we went to Shinsekai to try a bunch of street food, and we ended the night at the Bunraku show.

The next day, we once again had rehearsals in the morning and the afternoon off, we decided to spend our afternoon off at the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan.

While we were there, Saki made sure to take tons of pictures of penguins for Haruka, and she even got her a penguin plushies from the gift shop.

After our show in Osaka, we left for our next tour stop that night instead of the next day like we did before. This was because the next day was a Saturday; which was the best day to hold our show.

Our next stop was Nara. The day after we arrived, we once again had rehearsals in the morning and the afternoon off.

We decided to spend the afternoon at Nara Park, where we could see one of its signature attractions.

"Look at all the deer", Saki said in awe.

"Why are they following us", Shiho asked as a few deer were getting really close to her.

"It's because they know we have crackers for them", Honami replied, before giving one to a deer. "Here you go."

Overall, we were having a great time on tour so far.
