Red Yarn (Oshi No Ko > Aqua X Kana)

Back Home

Karma did her job until night. Kana has been living in her apartment for a week, and she only spends her days inside the house. Just to write and read a lot of books that he brought from home.

"Tomorrow not to come?" ask Karma from outside the room.

Kana replied in a loud voice. "Where?" 

"Bookstore!" karma answered while standing up to Kana. "I want to buy some books that are needed. You wanna come?" 

Kana closed the book. "By, I see there's a new book published by Akasaka." 

"Yes, tomorrow at 8." Karma.

Kana stood near Karma at the door. "I'm looking for some horse training places near here. Can I join you?" kana asked with a hand showing the horse training brochure on her phone.

"If you allow, yes I allow." Karma answered casually.

Kana stepped out of the room. "I'm looking for a part-time job. Is it okay too?" 

Karma shook her head. "No way if it is. I've been working part-time, too, so I'm sure Dad's gonna ban you."

"But, we don't always live dependent on dad. Even in the village alone I have income from working with Ishigami-san. Time in Tokyo I don't have." 

Karma grabbed the phone on the dining table. "We'd better ask Dad first, if it's not in just any place."

"Ready!" exclaim Kana with passion.

...****************...

Summer warms up all of Japan. Mem and Ruby are already planning their vacation trip. Mem always invites Kana, but Kana always refuses to come along. Without asking Kana for a reason, Mem was sure that everything must have been due to Aqua's words a few months ago.

Ruby bought some bikinis with Mem. Aqua who returned to her cold, rarely smiling self now looked even worse. He always refused to ask for anything. Aqua only accepted Ruby's invitation to her. He avoids all questions about Kana from Mem, Ruby or Miyako.

The conscious Mem Aqua began to dislike him only to assume that Aqua was over-emotional and still childish. Mem always tried to talk to Aqua whatever it was, even though she knew Aqua would ignore it and just pass by.

Their trip to Okinawa began. Aqua is with Ichigo and Gotanda. Miyako, Mem, Ruby, Akane and Frill also participated. Their summer vacation is about to begin.

Akane tries to get close to Aqua, but Aqua's response leaves the beach. Ruby chases after her brother, and tries to get Aqua to enjoy their vacation at the beach. Hoping cold nature, the cake was reduced after returning home on vacation.

"Aqua-kun, why is it like that? He's colder than ever." Akane commented staring at Aqua who forced Ruby onto the beach with a flat face. 

She shrugged her shoulders and returned to the beach. Mem actually knew, but he didn't want to discuss Aqua. He did not want his vacation to be ruined just because Aqua was a.

...****************...

Rows of bookshelves neatly arranged. The smell of paper filled the room. Instead of going to a bookstore, Kana asks Karma to take her to a library near the university where Karma is studying.

Just like the library. Quiet and comfortable. Karma, who was looking for some books on medicine, left Kana in the literature section. Kana's fondness for reading books falls into the category of maniac. In addition to reading, Kana likes to do reviews of some books and upload them on the internet.

With the five books that Kana had chosen, she ended up looking for a seat near the big window. There were not many students sitting there, Kana put down her books, pulled up the seats slowly so as not to make a sound. Sit quietly, and start reading the first book.

Time passed without feeling. The books they read have changed many titles. Realizing that it was lunchtime, Karma approached Kana, taking her out for lunch.

"Don't ramen anymore!" exclaim Kana when realizing the steps of Karma who went to the minimarket to buy instant ramen there. "Eat the others. I brought more money, so we're eating good."

"Yes, well, madam. I'll just come with you..." Karma steps ahead of Kana towards the nearest canteen on her campus. "So, what do you want?"

There are many food stands on campus. The canteen was filled with many students. This was the first time for Kana, seeing the campus canteen, because she never intended to go to college, Kana never felt the sensation of eating in the campus canteen.

The voice of Karma's phone suddenly rang after Kana bought some fast food and rice in a box. Kana went back to the table to start their lunch. Set aside Karma's order and eat his order's food. His gaze now looked at Karma before him.

The more daylight, the more crowded the canteen. Some come alone or in groups. There were even some who casually hugged each other, making out in the canteen.

...****************...

Karma's cell phone rang, a call from the hospital where Akino worked. Today should be Akino's return from his service in Okinawa. The call from the hospital shocked Karma.

Kana, who was sitting in front of Karma, approached him trying to reach for Karma's paled phone. But, Karma quickly disconnected her phone. He looked into Kana's eyes with a sad face. Trying to stay calm while bribing rice into his mouth.

"We're going back to Akita" Karma said.

He could no longer hide his pale face and trembling body. Karma stood up, hugging Kana tightly, as if saying everything would be fine. She was worried about saying this to Kana and made her brother shaken. Remembering his body and mental recovery process.

"What's wrong? You can explain it to me! Who called you?" tanya Kana tried to take off Karma's embrace. However, as Karma hugged her, she did not want Kana to see her red face and cry.

"We're coming home today, someone's going to pick us up back to the village."  Karma held back her stuffing.

"today? What was? You can explain it to me!" Karma took off her embrace. "Who's home?" ask Kana.

"Take our lunch, go back home to go home. Soon someone will come to pick us up." Karma took a deep breath, held it in, wiping away her rough tears.

Feeling confused and clueless, Kana nodded her head, according to Karma. The face of Karma is like hearing scary news. But, the boy did not explain more clearly to Kana.

...****************...

Kana and Karma board a car towards their house in the village as the sky is orange. The hot air is still felt even though it is almost night. Kana goes inside her house, while Karma says she will go out for a while with the man who drove them.

Again Kana was not told the cause of the panic face of Karma and all the rushed activities today. The Arima family home is empty. Kana went into her neat and fragrant room. Every day someone would clean their house. Feeling all the places were tidy, Kana went out of the house. Lock it up and step into Ishigami's place.

"You're home yet?" ishigami asks when he sees Kana stepping into his house. 

"Yes, Karma looks hurried so I don't have time to ask what happened to her." Kana smiling. "Is Yunyun healthy?" ask Kana.

"Tomorrow morning, go to her cage, it seems she misses the owner." Ishigami smiled broadly.

"Ready!"
