Chapter 16 : Birthday Part 1

Takagi : ( slowly wakes up) ( that was one good sleep)


Mano : ( smiling nervously at her and a sleeping nishikata ) Takagi-chan....


Takagi : ( breaks in a blush) uh.... How did I explain this.....( she tries to get up but realised that he was entangled around her) uh.......


Mano : ( laughs) ( how the hell does she have so much courage) nakai isn't awake yet....so you have 15 minutes


Takagi : (tries to get up but can't) uh.... A little help?


Mano : suuuuure, ( she slowly starts unwrapping nishikata from around her) what did you do last night? He doesn't wanna let go...


Takagi : ( blushing violently) ( what was I thinking when I decided to do this?!) um....


Mano : there! you can roll out now (takagi rolls out and falls face first on the floor and Mano laughs) it's rare to see your clumsy side


Takagi : ( dead in the eye) you. saw. nothing.


Mano : on one condition.... ( whispered something in her ear)


Takagi : what?! why don't you get nakai to ask him that?!


Mano : he tried yesterday at the station and nishikata's just completely shut him up, plus you don't really have a choice you know...


Takagi : don't use my own tricks against me Mano


Mano : ( making a face) " you dare use my own spells against me Potter"


Takagi : eh? I guess I'll try it...


Nishikata : what the hell are you two bickering about?


Takagi : good morning nishikata! ( act normal)


Nishikata : yeah (he tries to get up...)


Takagi : not so fast nishikata, Mano! go wake nakai up okay.



Mano : yeah ( leaves)


Nishikata : what is it


Takagi : the man next to us said to give you this medicine as soon as you wake up


Nishikata : ok then ( he takes the medicine)


Man : hey kids! So are ya feeling good now buddy


Takagi : thank you for your help sir


Man : it's not a big deal just carry a bar of chocolate with you at all times for today, if you feel weak munch on them ok


Nishikata : thanks


Man : it's alright, well I guess thats the end its my stop.... ( he gets off)


Nishikata : well just one more stop till me reach huh


Takagi : are you feeling good now?


Nishikata : yeah I'm alright....


Takagi : (helps him up) let's get all our bags we have to get off at the next stop


Mano : (drags nakai back) we're ready


After a half an our they finally reach the mountains and the mountain amusement park it's still early in the morning



Nishikata : shuichi has reserved a hotel for us to stay in let's go there


Takagi : ok then, let's go there


All of them reach the hotel where nishikata checks them in and they all go to their rooms, nishikata and nakai in one room and Mano and takagi in the other


Nishikata : you all freshen up I'll go for a walk ok


Takagi : wait I'll come too


And so they both go to a walk around the mountain and the forest



Nishikata : woah this place is so beautiful


Takagi : it feels so pristine here ( this place radiates tranquillity) where are we going?


Nishikata : I don't know about you but I'm going all the way upto the shrine on the mountain


Takagi : ( I literally asked you where we were going) I'll come too then


They walk all the way to the shrine on the way nishikata get teased 18 times



Nishikata : wow this place didn't change at all


Takagi : you've been here before too?


Nishikata : yeah this amusement park has the biggest arcade in Japan so shuichi takes me on a vacation here once or twice a year


Takagi : my grandmother used to live a few years we come here every now and again also the shopping mall here is the second biggest in all of Japan!


Nishikata : yeah I know ( shuichi hates shopping with every cell in his body so always gets chewed out by suika whenever we stay here) are you staying here a little longer?


Takagi : yeah maybe


Nishikata : then follow me ( he walks all the way to the back of the shrine)


Takagi : train tracks? (I thought he was gonna confess to me)


Nishikata : aren't they cool (acting a bit more childish than usual)


Takagi : ( notices this new childish behavior) wow your like a little kid


Nishikata : don't tease me! It's not even 11 am yet ( I'm gonna have to a lot more pushups today)


Takagi : hey nishikata, let's play a game!


Nishikata : what game?


Takagi : we both walk on the metal side of the train tracks and the first to lose balance loses.


Nishikata : (pumped) I will win this time...


They both step on the metal side and start walking along it and to ease himself nishikata starts a conversation with her



Takagi : but now that I think about it why is this track here


Nishikata : there used to be a coal mine here so this was use to transport coal from the mine to the railway station....


Takagi : but it still looks pretty well kept huh


Nishikata : well they still use it, this mountain side accumulates a lots of rocks on the railway tracks so to maintain the tracks, workers load the rocks onto a cart and send it to the mine where they unload the rocks into the mine to fill up the holes


Takagi : you sure know a lot about it huh nishikata?


Nishikata : shuichi told me the last time I was here...


The conversation goes on and eventually takagi wins and they are both ready to head back but


Nishikata : we should hurry the workers will start using the track soon


Takagi : ok ( she feels something tugging her back) huh?! Nishikata! My shoe is stuck it the track


Nishikata : WHAT! I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL NOW LEMME SEE IT ( panic shouting not anger) ( the cart will come any minute)


Takagi : help me move my foot ( she is starting to panic too)


Nishikata : ugh... Hg...( he struggled to move her shoe which was stuck to the track but sudden he heard something and he knew exactly what it was) (I've gotta hurry)


Takagi ; (sees that a cart is coming fast) NISHIKATA! ( she cried out in fear) (that cart is full of rocks it reaches here....)


Nishikata : (.... It will definitely crush her foot....) ( he struggled to remove the shoe so he just tried to remove her foot from the shoe) forget about the shoe


Takagi : ( scared out of her soul and is unable to react) (......)


Nishikata : ugh... ( he can't remove the foot so he forcefully tears her socks open and pulls her feet out just in time but his hand hits the cart and gets scratched) AHH


Takagi : nishikata!! ( she crawls over to him) are you okay?!


Nishikata : I'm fine ( it hurt but it isn't much) and more importantly are you ok?


Takagi : yeah I'm fine ( takes a deep breath) let's just go back to the hotel...( she tries to walk but falls down)


Nishikata : ( gets up as she winces in pain) her leg is bleeding and it's sprained (I probably ripped it out too hard the bleeding is probably because of the rocks on the ground she isn't wearing any shoes) stay still


Takagi : ( lays still while nishikata examines her foot) ( again..... Just like at the lake I caused another dangerous situation..... How is he not angry with me....... Why do I keep causing trouble to him..... I must have scored some points with him yesterday )


Nishikata : hold still ( he wraps a handkerchief around her foot) this should do the trick


Takagi : now I can walk normally ( she gets up and limps while walking)


Nishikata : oh hell no, I'm not letting you walk, it'll probably heal in 2-3 hours ( but you are so good at hiding pain ( flashbacks to chapter 2)) I'll carry you


Takagi : you don't have to ( I have already caused enough trouble)


Nishikata : no ( he was adamant)


Takagi : (protesting) your hand is hurt too!


Nishikata : it's nothing ( squats down) come behind me


Takagi : (blushes while nishikata carries her on his back) thanks... Nishi-....... yuki


Nishikata : what ( first names!) ( he can't turn around to see her expression) what d-did you just say


Takagi : ( I cant do it yet) thanks nishikata... This is a different route


Nishikata : oh yeah no worries about that ( I must have imagined it) I'll take a shorter route back to the hotel but for that we have to climb up for some time so bear with me..


Nishikata and takagi take another route back to the hotel and saw many amazing sceneries and plants







They eventually reach back to the hotel just in time for breakfast...
