As Aiko reached Tokyo, she stopped by an old Onsen owned by her friend's family before arriving in Tokyo city after a two-hour journey. She was tired and wanted to soak in the hot springs.
"Aiko Chan, Aiko Chan," her friend Chizuru called out as Aiko exited the train.
"Woah, woah Chizuru, take it easy there, my luggage might fall," Aiko said as she took her luggage out.
"Oh, I missed you so much, you are as beautiful as ever," Chizuru said as she hugged her, and she could smell her fragrance as she hugged her. "Ah.... Aiko, you're like a cheerful tree; you smell wonderful."
"Hey, stop it, don't sniff me like a dog." Aiko attempts to push her.
"If you want, I can be your pet," Chizuru said.
"Hey, stop it, you're making me look bad," she says as onlookers stare.
"All right, let's go," Chizuru says as she assists her with carrying the bags.
She could see all of Tokyo's shops, food, and people as they traveled to Tokyo streets.
"It's a world apart from Kyoto." Aiko notices as she walks by the places. "Tokyo has really changed in the future," she observes.
"What exactly do you mean?" Chizuru inquires
Aiko looks up and says, "Mmm, nothing at all."
"You're very strange; has the Kyoto brainwashed my dear Aiko?"
"Stop talking, are we there yet?" Aiko inquires.
"Only a few blocks"
"I can't wait to soak in the hot springs."
"That's Shizuka Hot Springs, Tokyo's best Onsen."
"Is your place really that well-known?"
"Yes... possibly... I'm not sure, let's just go inside, shall we?" Chizuru looks around, perplexed.
Aiko smiles as she looks at her; she knew Chizuru since childhood and knew her grandmother because she was the owner at the time. The Shizuka Hot Springs were a tourist attraction in Tokyo, and she worked part-time during her middle school vacations with her sister. Chizuru's grandmother died when she was five, and she only saw her in the frame.
When they arrived at the Onsen
"Aiko, welcome to Shizuka Hot Springs." Chizuru's mother approaches her and greets her.
"Thank you, Auntie, for allowing me to stay here," she says with a bow.
"It's all right, you can stay next to Chizuru's room; I've prepared the room for you; first, do you want to have lunch or go to the hot springs?" She inquires to her.
"I'd like to go to the hot springs, but I think mice are rolling around in my stomach, so I'd like to eat first," Aiko said, feeling hungry.
"Then I'll prepare a meal for you; please go to your room and freshen up," the mother said as she motioned to her daughter's room.
As they approached the room, it was worth watching because she could see Tokyo from the top of the hill,"What a pleasant view," she exclaimed.
"Please have a pleasant stay." As she exits the room, the mother bows.
"Come on, let's play cards until your meal arrives," Chizuru says as she pulls out some cards.
*smack*
"Young lady, you work here, so help me prepare for the guest," Chizuru's mother smacks her on the head.
"However, Oka-San"
"Enjoy your stay," she says as she pulls her through the ear and drags her outside.
"Aiko...Aiko, please help."
Aiko couldn't help but stare and bid her farewell.
After, freshening herself, Aiko entered the girl's bath, but there were so many females that she couldn't try to enter as she was shy been naked.
Suddenly, two hands covered her eyes
"surprise ?" said Chizuru as she jumped to her
"Did your mother gave permission?"
"Yes, she said I can spend the evening with you"
"That's nice"
"come, let's get in"
"It looks crowded, let's come some other time"
"No, its ok, when you're with me, there's nothing to worry" said Chizuru as she pulled her
She moaned when she couldn't stand in front of people with her naked body, then she thought that she could get company since Chizuru was here so, she took a deep breath and stepped into the hot springs after taking a chilly bath.
"Ah, that really hits the spot"
Aiko and Chizuru then entered a open bath which had a refreshing aroma
"let's get in," said Chizuru
"Okay"
As they entered all their stress and their skin became moist
"Ah, Aiko, here is it, Tokyo's best hot springs, thank you Oji-san," Chizuru exclaims as she steps into the pool to cool herself.
"It certainly is," Aiko adds.
A lady with a beautiful figure with long hair sees them and observes Aiko, who she describes as a slim, light-skinned girl with silky black hair that makes her look like a Hime.
"My Aiko, your boobs have grown?" Chizuru remarks, looking at Aiko's breasts.
"Hey, don't look at it," Aiko said, embarrassed.
Chizuru notices Aiko's embarrassment and tries to stroke her boobs.
"Hey, stop it," Chizuru yells as she tries to flee.
The lady smiles as she watches them.
Aiko pours water on Chizuru as she chases her, but she escapes and splashes to the lady.
*Splash*
"Oh Oh," Chizuru exclaimed as she stood up and bolted.
"Hey, don't leave me," Aiko says as she flees.
*gulp*
"I'm very sorry Miss, that was a mistake," she says as she approaches the lady.
"Oh, don't worry, my child, you're still young and children should have fun" says the lady with a smile.
They gather in the dressing room to soothe each other.
"I'm really sorry for splashing you again," she apologized
"It's fine; I'll take it if you come with me."
"Sure," Aiko replied.
They both relax and converse in the inn's yard as they stop near a stall to get their milk.
"Then I will be leaving, Take care" Yukino inquires.
She responds, "Yes Mam, please take care of yourself too."
As she leaves, she meets Chizuru who was peeping and smiling
"There she is the traitor"
"Sorry, Aiko Chan, let me buy you dinner"
"Fine"
As they had their dinner, the walked around the town to digest themselves
As they walked to the hill, they could see the lights glittering the streets of Tokyo
"What a pleasant view, isn't it Aiko chan"
"It sure is"
Chizuru then hugs her tightly, "Aiko Chan, you are so… beautiful"
"Stop, you are making me cringe"
"Sorry, so have you decided to work or study"
"Yes, I have decided to apply somewhere to study, but first I need to get money, so I'm planning to check in Tokyo and find a job"
"I see, good luck then"
Then after a few days, Aiko left to Tokyo city and rented a house where her parents have rented for her. Though rented, the house looked old and used to get leaks. Plenty of roaches used to enter and due to heavy storms, the windows begin to shake.
This was a nuisance for her and she could not find anywhere else to stay, as she hunted for new houses, she could not buy as the costs were high, and her part time jobs didn't give enough wages as all the money was spent for maintenance, food and supplies. Her parents who were in Osaka could not give enough funds as both were busy with their jobs.
"This is stupid, why can't I have a good life here" storms Aiko
As she stood thinking what to do, she forgot to get her medics as she was getting a stomach ache after having natto
As she went to a drug store, while buying the medicine, she came across a poster which amazed her.
