| Evening ~ After school at Eri's house...
'Awhh... This new meal that Eri tried is, really, pretty tasty.' She was noting down. 'Who could guess that garlic with daikon bites.. could taste so savory! *Flips page*
Eri must think about ordering these things ag.....ain.....'
''Uhh? Eher? Something's wrong here... '' She contested, tilting her confused head. ''oooOHHo! Is that it? This is the journal's last page! Uh?''
((Goes to laptop!))
She passionately thought, 'It's time to order another journal using, the power of internet Anazon.
((Clicks order button!))
She merrily thought, 'Eri wonders how many journals she, she's used up in her life... This_ Jeff Bezus created Anazon didn't he? What a neat idea, it was.
| The next day ~ Weekend afternoon...
((Ding, ding))
After a eager squeal, she said, ''That has to be Eri's package. Must go see.''
((Opens door))
~ ~ ~
''Heyyy... Why is there.. two boxes?'' Eri dazedly asked, as she examined them.
*(Listen)*
-*{Shake}*
*/Tilt/*
| After she took both boxes inside, Eri opened them up and.. what were the contents?
''Scenic Magazine Weekly? Wh-what? And are these.. a card game?'' She wondered, searching for it. ''W-where is it? Where is Eri's journal?''
''Maybe Eri should ask the site?'' She thought.
| And then-
((Cellphone vibrates))
{Mystified, she answered, ''This is Eri, here.''}
{''Hayato calling. I have, a question.'' He dimly replied. ''Were you expecting, a school journal.. And... do you have a magazine and cards there?''}
{With a piercing gasp, she asked, ''H-How did you know that?''}
{He said with a deep sigh, ''How tiresome. No doubt, I think our orders were confused.''}
{She Stuttered, ''H-huheh...? Eeh? You're sure?''}
{Bluntly, he said, ''Certain. Listen up. Drop by my door, and we'll settle this crisis. *Sighs* I'll text my home address.''}
| And after that-
''He lives in that house...? What a_ average house, that is..... '' Eri thought, feeling dulled.
((Dong))
''You've arrived.'' Hayato remarked, with a exhale. ''You have my items, right?''
. . .
''Will you focus, please?'' He expressed.
Shook up, she replied, ''Sorry. Eri is sorry for that. A fact just hit Eri... She hasn't ever seen your house till, until today.''
He twitched and said, ''I know where this is heading..... Eri? For both our sakes, I'll let you see inside my house, just once. Understand?''
| Moments after ~ Inside...
Through the house, he dourly stated, ''There's our decent shoe-rack. Our tasteful TV room. That's... our homey dining table. Our short hallway. Oh, and F-Y-I. My parents are still at work.''
Eri vacantly nodded.
Acting uneasy, Hayato said, ''And here's__ my humble room... ''
((Opens door))
After blinking harshly, she replied, ''Ohh-Ururm! . . .This room, it's so, it's so dim in here.''
''Yeah. Just how I like things.'' He said with calm pride.
''Oo! Ooo? What a hollow room... '' She expressed. ''Why is- Why is there so many gray shelfs?''
As he sat down, he said, ''For my 'hobby'. ''I collect Scenic Magazines, and get lost in their world to my music... ''
She distantly replied, ''That sounds really um_ really tame.''
After a calm inhale, he said, ''Well... I'll open my package now.''
▪️ ▪️ ▪️
Spiritedly, Eri said, ''Ah -right. This is a perfect chance to- to break in my brand new journal.''
*Opens box with energy*
Quitely, Hayato whispered, ''Honestly... How tiresome..... ''
| The end!
