Chapter 37 - Yamatokoriyama

Third person POV

 By noon, they are all at Hoshi's house eating lunch after their second training session. Hoshi will cook lunch for them. The food is simple Menudo and some steamed rice. They are excited to eat it, while Bokuto has already eaten it before. After 40 minutes of cooking and preparation, Hoshi served them to them. "Let's eat."

He then sat down next to Sha.

They then all made a prayer gesture. "Thanks for the food."

After that, they grabbed their reusable chopsticks and got some of that food.

When Sha, Saki, and Taro eats the Menudo with the rice, they were amazed by their delicious combination.

 "Delicious!"

 "Man, Filipino foods are delicious."

 "This is good actually."

 "Thanks, you guys," Hoshi happily replied.

 "Your food is always delicious," Bokuto responded.

The only times Bokuto took off his face mask is when eating, brushing his teeth, sleeping, and taking a bath.

 "You're a great cook, Hoshi-kun," Taro commented.

 "Aww, thanks, Taro-kun." Hoshi tried to resist that compliment, but failed and gave in.

Saki couldn't say Taro's line to Hoshi because she was shy with him.

 After that delicious lunch, Saki and Taro wash the dishes while Bokuto wipes the table. Hoshi and Sha are in the living room. Hoshi shows his favorite video game to Sha. Sha was amazed that he could play video games because he never played one before. Eventually, Sha asked him to teach him how to play one.

 "Sure thing," Hoshi accepted it willingly, before switching the video game to a one that allows multiplayer gaming.

That game was called Yellow and Red Action, which was a high-quality video game about a soldier who went through a war in Asia.

That game can also have one or two extra soldier players as well.

 As they play, Hoshi teaches him the mechanics, controls, gameplay, and the game story. Sha was learning bit by bit for a few minutes or so.

 From 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., they and the others did a lot of various things like reading books, short study sessions, and watching movies. By 4 p.m., with the end of Mariya's work shift being 2 hours away, they all went out to Nara Prefecture's Yamatokoriyama city. The reason why is that they wanted to explore, with Taro, who had gone there before, giving them a tour of it. They went there by train. There they started with the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, which was known for its multiple Torii gates. They were amazed by it, and Taro explained to them about it in detail. After that, they went to Machiya Monogatarikan, which was a historical site. As usual, they were amazed, and Taro explained to them about it. Some of the places they went to are: Konyagawa, Aeon Mall Yamato-Koriyama, and Koriyama Castle. They spent an average of 20 minutes in each of those places. But, a threat is now looming under them.
