"crap, I forgot about her"

"do you know her Yamiko?"

"I HAVE BEEN WAITING THE WHOLE DAY AND YOU ARE HERE TAKING A BREAK"

"I’m sorry, guys, this is my niece Anne"

Anne then looked at us and she saluted us in the form of reverence as greeting the royalty

"thanks for taking care of Yamiko"

at least she has manners

"LET’S GO, WE DONT HAVE TIME TO WASTE"

"you don’t have to yell Anne"

They went outside of Harima apartment

"I didn’t see your Motorcycle nearby"

Harima followed them

"about Yamiko Motorcycle"

Anne and Yamiko looked at him

"I’m very sorry, but Yamiko motorcycle crashed earlier, you can use the one we just rented"

"you keep ruining stuffs Yamiko"

Yamiko looked at Harima

"it crashed because you were on the way, by the way Anne, did you find what you were looking for?"

"unfortunately, we are far from our goal"

Harima could not help but listen to those words and then

"do you need any help?"

Yamiko and Anne looked to each other

"well...."

"I moved recently but I can help you if you need"

Then Annabel Joined the conversation

"actually, I would be more help than this dumb friend of mine"

"we appreciate your help"

"so, what are you looking for?"

"well, you see...."

"is actually a work for school"

"huh?"

"we are researching for Tanabata Celebration"

"that celebration takes place in August"

Anne face went sad and Harima tried to cheer her up

"the celebration is only one month ahead, it could be worse, we could be on January"

"I don’t think that is much help Harima"

"but I read that the celebration takes place on the seventh month the seventh day"

then Annabel said

"of the lunar calendar"

"and which month is that then?"

"August"

Yamiko then said to Anne

"I told you that we cannot do much at this point"

then Harima said

"what can’t you do?"

Anne pinched Yamiko because she was talking too much and then Annabel said

"I think you are referring to the other city"

"what do you mean?"

"Tanabata takes place in two cities in Japan, one is Sendai in August and the other city is Hiratsuka in Kanakawa"

"and when is Tanabata in Kanakawa?"

"on July 7th"

Anne face changed and was so happy that she started to dance with Yamiko while Annabel and Harima were looking at them

"do you guys know how to get to Kanakawa?"

"yes"

"will you take us there?"

"sure"

"don’t you have work tomorrow Harima? today is Sunday remember?"

“Yea, Saturday was raid and it was yesterday and is sunset already”

Anne then said to Harima

"don’t go work tomorrow!"

"....eh but my job is very important"

"I’ll help you if you go with us!"

Anne looked like she really needed to go to Kanakawa

"I’ll call my boss"

Yamiko then was moving her fingers on her phone behind her

"what about you Annabel? can you come?"

"I think I can go"

Annabel had free time, she has to go to work only when the boss calls her, she is an Illustrator for Mad House

"ok, we will come early tomorrow to pick you guys up"

They left and Annabel and Harima were asking themselves what they needed from Tanabata, you could easily search for the celebration on internet, maybe they wanted to celebrate it with the people at Japan

At Yamiko and Anne place

"look, we need to move quick, Izanami might be close"

"she is already here"

"how do you know?"

"she is watching us"

Anne made a sad face

"just when we were so close to our goal"

"don’t worry, she won’t make a move against us"

"how can you trust her?"

"she is my sister"

Monday Morning

Harima went to run his usual route before work

|you got a message|

“hey dude, you have disappeared”

“sup mofo”

Ralph was texting Harima

“look, you won’t believe it, I meet a really sexy foreigner here in Sendai”

“did you confess to her already?”

“not yet, she looked so sexy on the motorcycle, she has a Ninja motorcycle, well, she had”

“what do you mean she had?”

“she was about to hit me and she managed to avoid me and she lost control of her motorcycle and she fell, the motorcycle got destroyed”

“dude, that’s sound like a movie happening around you”

“we went to rent a motorcycle after and she told me she was going to teach me how to ride one”

“you are calling your death if you want to ride a motorcycle, you know?

then a girl with a motorcycle was on Harima left side

“look Ralph, she is here, I have to go”

"good morning Yamiko"

"good morning"

"you are not with Anne today?"

"she is still sleeping"

"we are leaving to Kanakawa at 9am so we still have time, I asked my boss for a day off and he told me to take a week off, I guess I was lucky"

The truth is that Yamiko called Harima boss and asked him to give Harima a week off

"did you get another motorcycle last night? it looks exactly as the one that you destroyed yesterday"

“I had another one at my place”

"you are not talking too much today Yamiko"

the girl then stopped in front of Harima

“I’m here to teach you how to ride, remember that I was going to teach you?”

“here? Right now?”

“yea, is there a problem?”

“ok, let’s begin then”

“so, on the right hand you have your breaks, on you hand you will have the front break and on your right feet, you will have your back break”

Harima was memorizing everything really quick

“on the left side, you have the clutch on your left hand”

“what does that thing do?”

“do you know how to ride a bike?”

“yes”

“did you have different speeds on your bike?

“it was from a friend” |if you can call friend someone who screwed your life in school that’s it|

“so, it had speeds yes or no?”

“yes, it had” |man, what happened to Yamiko? she was all friendly and today she is very serious |

“ok, this pedal changes the speed, but you cannot change it unless you use the clutch”

“I got it”

“ok, let me show you how it works”

Harima and the Rider then went for a ride and she was showing Harima how to make the changes of speed and on a curve Harima almost lost balance and grabbed the rider’s boobs

“sorry, it was not intentional”

She turned red but didn’t say anything and then they stopped

“look, sorry I didn’t mean to grab your boobs”

The rider then gave the keys to Harima

“Try it yourself now”

“are you sure?”

“yes”

she didn’t want Harima to use the same excuse to grab her boobs again so then Harima started his practice, Harima learned really quick how to ride the motorcycle, then he tried to do something and the rider was thinking

“what is this person doing?”

Harima tried to make a horse stance with the motorcycle and fell, then the rider came quick for him but he was already up checking for the motorcycle

“I’m very sorry, I let myself go, could not resist the temptation”

“you did well for your first try, look I have to go, see you later”

“later Yamiko”
