Soba in hand, Jiro was in a race against time. He had to get back to the park in time for the fireworks. It would have been a lot easier if his uncle had just let them take the soba from the pub this year. Once his uncle said no, Jiro didn’t push. Of course the closest ramen shop had to be the one Miyadai worked. But perhaps that was for the better ( Read more... )

Jiro patted the neck of his guitar before jumping off the lone stool on the stage. Rarely had he had a chance to pick up a guitar nowadays.

With music softly playing in his ears, Jiro entered the library. He tugged at the headphones, allowing them to hang around his neck. He left the music on to play faintly for him to hear alone.

Jiro headed straight to the stairs knowing exactly where to go. It wasn't often that he came to the library. The library just had the same layout for years ( Read more... )
