Part 5
The days passed by and it finally reached the day Eve and her parents were going to Juu Mountain, a mountain where an elegant and kind old lady stays – Eve’s grandma’s house.
Eve was sitting on the bed in her room, waiting for time to pass and people to come before stepping out. A few minutes later, she heard the ringing sound of the door bell and ran down the stairs. She opened the door and saw Renzo with blue jeans and green top. Immediately, she pulled Renzo in and introduced him to her parents, stating that Renzo was a friend from tuition.
“Oh my god!! Is that you boyfriend, Eve?” Train and Cal jumped in excitement. They had never seen Eve being this close to a boy before.
“Poor guy. You must have been suffering from having such a girlfriend,” said Cal while putting his shoulders on Renzo’s shoulder, winking at him.
“Excuse me? I’m not that bad. Besides, he is my best friend”, said Eve, trying to clear the misunderstanding.
Eve had a hard time clearing the misunderstanding, but Renzo was keeping silent all the time. Even knows he is familiar with the friends of Eve, he never talked to them before. It was even harder to explain his background if they ask.
“Cal and Train, I’ll be pleased if you stop teasing my daughter”, a polite voice came across the room and they jumped in surprise. It was Eve’s mother.
“I’m sorry aunt”, they apologized.
“Had both of you fall in love with my daughter?”
“NO!! Definitely not!” they replied in unison.
After waiting and talking for a while, Karin arrived and they were ready to get moving. Eve felt sleepy on the way to Juu Mountain as she didn’t get enough sleep the night before because Renzo was mumbling nonstop until the sun rise. Eve rested her head on Renzo’s shoulder while in the car, dozing off. Cal and Train gave Renzo a deadly stare which gave Renzo a chill down the spine.
“Do you like Eve?”, questioned Cal. “I like her as a friend”,
“You are so straight forward, Cal”, said Train.
“Cal, do you love Eve?”, Renzo speaks out.
“I love her as a sister”
“Coward”, interrupted Train.
“Who are you calling coward!!??”
Cal gave Train a cold stare.
Renzo was having an uneasy feeling on the way to Juu Mountain as he felt very familiar with it. It’s similar to the way to Holy Jungle, a place where the four spirit maiden lived in.
When they reached the Juu mountain, Eve woke up, sitting as still as a statue like her soul was not in her. No one realized. Everyone was sleeping. The car had stop moving.
“Omi-same, you have come back to see us,” a cheerful voice was playing in Eve’s mind.
Who is Omi-sama? What did he mean I have came back to see them??
Eve went unconscious all of a sudden as she said “tadaima”. She went to sleep a moment later.
The car moved again and everyone woke up, continuing their journey.
“Wake up Eve!” Renzo was waking Eve to notify her that they had reached Juu Mountain.
“Omi..” said Eve while she was still half asleep.
Renzo froze. He was shocked and stunned when he heard that word.
