Sotoki had planned to go to Tokyo today to buy a new computer. His old one had malfunctioned and is no longer usable nor fixable. He could buy one in his prefecture, but he wanted ones from the main city. However, before he went to the train station, he visited the forest first, and that is where he is at right now.
Different animals gathered around Sotoki after seeing how he took care of one of them "Hello again to all of you." he said with a smile. Tako, his pet, went and played with the other animals, Sotoki is bringing him along. "Sorry, but I don't have any food right now." he told the squirrel that's staring at him. He always brought a snack or two for them, so many thinks he have some everytime he goes there. Sotoki stood up and Tako jumped into his messenger bag, that's where Sotoki told him to hide "We have to go now. Goodbye." then he bid farewell and walked to the station.
After arriving there, he bought a ticket and waited for the train to arrive. He brought his bag to his face and Tako popped his head out "Don't come out, okay?" he whispered to the cat "Be a good cat and behave." then the train arrived and Tako went to take a nap inside his bag.
Inside the train, Sotoki looked for a seat immediately. Once he sat beside the window, he opened his phone and looked at the time there "If I remember correctly, this ride will take a few hours." then he frowned 'I have to stay with all these people the whole time?' he thought as he looked around him and especially at the person beside him. Sotoki let up his guard and became wary of the passengers 'For all I know there might be a criminal in here.' then he hid his phone and was on guard as he waited for him to arrive to his destination.
"Airi-chan, be careful next time." said her grandmother. Airi had tripped and fell on the floor "Ow... Sorry." she was in a hurry because she forgot that her friends invited her to go to Tokyo. She always liked going to Akihabara, so she agreed right away when she was invited "I'll go now! See you later!" she said as she went out the door.
While running to the station, she checked her things "Bag, ok. Phone, ok. Money, ok!" she cheerfully exclaimed. Then she neared the station and saw her friends. When they saw her, they waved "Sorry.. for.. being late.." she huffed "You're really forgetful aren't you?" said by one of her friends "Well, let's go now." prompted by another. Airi nodded and headed inside with them.
They bought their tickets and when the train arrived, they went inside right away and sat. Airi began thinking of what she could see and buy in Akihabara. She really likes that place and it is the place where she haves fun all the time. Then someone poked her "..ey.. Hey! Airi!" her friend has been calling her for a while now "Ah? What is it?" then her friend sighed "Do you have everything on you?" Airi nodded to her while patting her bag "Good! We should be there soon." then Airi patiently waited while conversing with her friends.
'Well then. See you later, Yoshimi-san! :)' typed Nikko on the keyboard. He invited her to meet in Tokyo today. Nikko was given permission to go to the big city only for today and took this opportunity to meet his internet friend, Yoshimi Kawakami, for the first time. Though he had seen her before in photos, they never really met yet. After shutting down the computer, he took his bag filled with things that he needed then headed outside. "Take care Nikko." said to him by his mother while walking to the door "I will. Goodbye." he said to her then putted on his shoes and went out.
He quickly opened his umbrella as soon as he went out "Hah... It feels hot as usual..." he said while grabbing his jacket, he wore them to cover his body some more. He also wore a flat cap for better protection 'It's still actually hot. What with these clothes, but it's better than getting burnt.' he thought as he started walking, his destination is the train station.
After arriving, he bought a ticket and waited for the train. And as usual, he felt some gazes 'I guess I look pretty weird to people.' he thought, referring to his albinism and his clothes. The train arrived soon after and he entered with a sigh. He sat beside the window and leaned on it "I wonder what the big city looks like..." today is going to be his first time in Tokyo, but he studied about it a lot. His parents only agreed for him to go there since it's his birthday today. Nikko continued to watch the scenery while waiting for him to arrive to his destination.
