The next day.
I had saved everyone from Ryuchi.
My mom is coming today, and I am trying to make a cake for her.
Then I heard the door knock.
I rushed and opened it.
"Itsuki—I can't tell you how much I missed you."
"Me too, Mom."
"Itsuki, did you have any problems in these days?"
"No, Mom."
"Everything was fine. Shuko also helped me to manage things."
"Mom, I have made a cake for you."
"Oh, how sweet."
"I can't wait to try it."
Mom sat on a chair.
I served it on the table.
Mom looked excited to try it.
She took the first bite.
"Itsuki, it's really good. You should open a bakery."
I laughed.
Then Kaito called me.
"Mom, can I go to my room?"
"Of course."
I got in and accepted the call.
"Itsuki, haven't you heard the news?"
"News?"
"Turn on the TV and see it now!"
Kaito hung up the phone.
I turned on the TV and started the news channel.
Breaking News!
The government has announced: All the students from Tokyo will go on a 30-day trip. The cost of this trip is absolutely free, and it is mandatory that every student from Tokyo go on this trip. But the trip location hasn't been revealed yet.
The government has stated that this will help students to build character and gain knowledge. The parents are having a mixed reaction about it, but the government is ensuring the safety of every student. If any major thing happens to any student, the government will pay the student's family 10 million yen. So, most of the parents are calm and have agreed to send their children.
The trip will take place on September 21st.
"Whoa! The government has announced a free trip. But I wonder where it would take place."
"Huh. It's nothing to do with me. As long as it's free, I will go."
"But to be honest, I am thrilled."
I called Shuko to ask her about this.
She picked up.
"Shuko, have you heard about the announcement?"
"Yes, Itsuki. I am definitely going on the trip. What will you do?"
"I am also going."
"Bye, Itsuki. See you at the school tomorrow."
"Bye."
The phone hung up.
Today was the most peaceful day of my life.
I hope tomorrow will be same.
