Chapter 19 - Best Friend

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, even though it was already six o'clock that didn't stop Yuki and Yama from going to the bookstore in their hometown of Higashine, they didn't need to take a bus or a taxi, because that day Yama asked him to was picked up by Uncle Keto, Yama's own private driver. He suggested it himself so that he and Yuki could relax looking for books and not be in a hurry to go home because they had to catch the last bus schedule.

Don't blame everyone, it can be done by Yama because Yama is the luckiest child because both his parents are hard workers who are quite successful, his father works as a CEO in a well-known company in Tokyo, and his mother is an entrepreneur in the field of design and clothing who is also well known in Higashine. Which in the end makes Yama someone who has the title 'Son of the rich' or 'lucky child' from his peers.

This can be seen with clear evidence, he asked his private driver to pick them up so that he and his little friend Yuki, could relax without having to catch the bus.

"You shouldn't have asked Uncle Keto to pick us up, Yama," Yuki said as he walked towards the school parking lot and then got into Yama's private car,

Hearing this, Yama turned to look at him and then asked, "Why?? are you ashamed of it? Besides, it's the only time I've asked Uncle Keto to pick us up here." Yama explained while asking Yuki, he got into the car together with Yuki.

"It's just, you'll look like an arrogant person," Yuki said to Yama, and from Yuki's tone, Yama knew that Yuki was worried about being bullied by his friends, and finally Yama nodded understandingly,

"Okay... I won't ask Uncle Keto again to pick him up later... and let this be the last time I take him to school, right Uncle??" said Yama to Uncle Keto who was now running his car and was surprised to hear that,

"What?? is young master going to fire me?!" asked Uncle Keto frantically to Yama, hearing the question made Yama laugh hearing it and shook his head to answer it,

"Hahaha… no, no… I'm just not going to ask you to pick me up again to school, Uncle," said Yama to Uncle Keto, making the driver sigh calmly as he said,

"Ah… I thought you were going to fire me, but… isn't it only natural that you need me like today young master?? but maybe next time, if you don't want to be branded as a snob, I'll just park the car next to the school," said Uncle Keto to Yama who now nodded in agreement and made Yuki smile because of it.

"Oh! Now, where do you want to go, young master?" Uncle Keto asked Yama, hearing that question made Yama turn to look at Yuki and call out to him,

"Yuki," called Yama, and because of that Yuki immediately said where they were going now,

"Tsutaya's bookstore, Uncle," Yuki said to Uncle Keto, hearing that Uncle Keto nodded his head in response, and the car was driven to the bookstore they were referring to.

It was only a journey of seven point four kilometers and it took eleven minutes by car and through the fastest route before finally Yama and Yuki arrived at Tsutaya's bookstore.

"Uncle Keto, Arigatou (thank you) for the ride!" Yuki said to Uncle Keto who was now smiling and nodded his head,

"Thank you Uncle, Then Yuki and I will walk home, you can go home first," said Yama to Uncle Keto who now nodded in agreement,

Yama has never been arrogant and cocky. Yama has a nature that is easy to get along with anyone and has an attitude as well as a generous nature. All the qualities and attitudes of Yama, make him look like a perfect lucky boy.

"Hi (good) young master," said Uncle Keto before he finally drove his car to get out of there.

"Come on!" asked Yuki to Yama who now nodded his head and entered the bookstore.

Lots of books on sale, making Yama and Yuki happy to see and hunt for the book they were looking for. Yama's gaze is currently looking through several comic books that are laid out and neatly arranged on the shelves that have been neatly arranged, he is trying to find what makes him interested and wants to read it.

"Yama!" Yuki's call at that time made him turn his head to look at Yuki who now gave him a comic book with the title seven-ghost, and that was the comic with the edition that Yama had been looking for all this time.

"Oh?! where did Yuki get it from?" Yama asked Yuki, Yama happily took the comic book and started reading it,

"The corner of the shelf over there! I think this is all that's left of him" Yuki replied to Yama who was now nodding his head in response to that,

"Arigatou, Yuki (thank you, Yuki)," Yama said to Yuki who was now smiling and nodded his head.

"Have you found the book you were looking for, Yuki?" Yama asked Yuki who shook his head in response to that, "Tell me, which book are you looking for ... I will help you find it" continued Yama to Yuki which in the end made Yuki look very happy.

The two of them hunted for books together and then bought some snacks for them to eat and then walked together towards their house, the distance they traveled was not far, so they could walk leisurely towards Yuki's house.

"Yama!" called Yuki beside him, hearing Yuki's call made Yama who was walking hand in hand with Yuki turn to look at himself who was right on his right side,

"Yes?" Yama asked Yuki,

"After graduation… where will you go to school?" asked Yuki asking Yama's big plans for the future, plans about which school he will go to after this, and that makes Yama exhale to think for a moment.

"Um… I don't know, I haven't really thought about it, how about you Yuki?? where are you going?" Yama said turning to ask Yuki, and the question made Yuki think for a moment and then said,

"Nihon University Yamagata Senior high school or Sagae High school, I will choose one of the two," Yuki replied to Yama, hearing Yuki's answer, Yama nodded his head in response,

"Well, … those two schools do suit you." Yama muttered to Yuki who was now smiling and nodded his head, "Wow... I'm not like Yuki huh... I haven't thought about which school I will choose later" continued Yama to Yuki who now turned his head and turned his body towards Yama while saying,

"Then come with me!! let's go to school in Sagae!" asked Yuki to Yama who smiled and then said,

"I'll think about it later," said Yama to Yuki who looked quite displeased with Yama's answer like that. "Had reached!" Yama said to Yuki, and because of that Yuki smiled again and then walked to enter his house,

"Yama Arigatou, see you tomorrow!" Yuki said to Yama.

Yama nodded his head and waved before finally walking back to his house which was close to Yuki's house.
