Iko Trail

9. flower delivery

 After arriving at Natsuki, Ikiro, Hana and Koeda got off their vehicles. Koeda looked around. This is the first time he came to natsuki. there is only a vast desert. The sun is also very hot. The atmosphere is also quiet. there are only a few people who are walking.

"sir. so hot?"

Ikiru nodded. he and Hana had been there a lot, so they were used to it.

"it's hot here, but they're cool in their living quarters."

said Hana. Ikiru invites the two of them to go to one of the sand dunes which is quite high. Ikiru knocked on the mound. After waiting for a long time, finally the mound opened like a door.

"let's go!"

Koeda obeyed his father's orders and went in with Hana. After the door closed, someone approached them.

"wear it so that it doesn't overheat."

someone gave them the clothes, they were all orange in color just like the atmosphere in the area.

"you guys go inside first. I'm going to deliver this flower first."

Hana nods.he invites Koeda to go around seeing how the actual activities in natsuki. Natsuki residents actually live underground.they will be on top if there is a need.

"where are we going, ma'am?"

"we roamed around for a while while enjoying the view here."

Koeda nodded in understanding.The underground atmosphere was very crowded.Many people were busy with their work.some were busy playing or chatting.all natsuki residents wore the same colored clothes. perhaps it is already a tradition.other case with haruki whose house is in the tree, natsuki has a house made of solid sand.

"well, it's crowded here, ma'am."

Hana nods her head.After she finishes delivering the flowers, Ikiru invites Hana and Koeda to go to yuki to deliver some of the flowers again.

after passing through the passage of time, finally they reached the yuki area. After getting off the vehicle, a cold atmosphere instantly enveloped their bodies.

"cold, ma'am."

Ikiru immediately went to the clothes storage before actually entering the area.

"wear this."

Ikiru handed her thick clothes and a hat. she left Hana and Koeda again.

"we're out for a walk."

"Hana? since when are you here?"

greet one of the residents of yuki who happens to have been friends with Hana for a long time.

"hey. I just came. You how are you, ki?"

"well.who's the kid?"

"he's my son, his name is Koeda."

Koeda lowered his head slightly in greeting. Suki, Hanapun's friend, replied.

"what about your husband?"

"she's delivering flowers."

Suki nods in understanding.he invites Hana and Koeda to stop by his house.It happens to be his house not far from where they are now.

"your house hasn't changed, has it?"

Suki smiled. Suki's house is not too big. because if you build a large house, it will only make the house becomes cooler.Yuki residents have their own way to warm their bodies. shortly after chatting with Suki, Ikiru came to Hana and Koeda.

"i looked everywhere turned out to be stopping by here."

Suki smiled and let Ikiru sit down.

"sorry, I forgot to tell."

"would you forget or pretend to forget?"

after a long conversation, Ikiru takes Hana and Koeda home.

"alright. we should go home.it's not good to linger here."

Ikiru said goodbye to Suki. After getting ready, Suki escorted them forward.

"be careful on the road..."
