Chapter 60 – Going West to Kobe City

Third person POV

The next morning, at the Takada estate, Hoshi and friends and family were having a celebratory breakfast to mark Hoshi and his group's efforts of stopping a Yokai from its crimes in the overworld. Kioko was invited as well, and she accepted it without any hesitation. And in the dining room, they are having a delicious, hot, feast-like, breakfast meal while chatting, drinking, and laughing. Paulo and Reo were amazed to hear such a story of bravery from their cousins. Hoshi was happy, and Kuro was happy, too.

 At the same time, Bokuto's shyness slowly started to disintegrate. Also, Saki is even in love with Hoshi more than ever, slowly falling for him secretly, while Sha now shows signs of leaning towards Hoshi's side. And then, for the entire day, Hoshi, Mariya, and their group did some family duties at the Takada estate, went around Osaka City, and tried out new rides at a theme park. All of them are having the time of their lives, away from duties back at Nara City, and they are making a lot of fun memories. But still, Kuro didn't want to reveal his past life to them.

 So, on a Friday morning, Hoshi and his group are now in the train station in the city with some of their belongings. They will be going to Kobe City, which was west of Osaka city, for a day of exploring and trying new things and experiences. "Are you sure about going back here by the evening?" Hoshi's aunt asked them, being concerned for their well-being when the day ends. "You can book a hotel there."

 "No," Hoshi positively responded back, "we can make it all the way back here tonight."

 "We'll just explore and go around," Sha added.

Hoshi's aunt then understood it very well. "Okay, good luck out there."

With that, Hoshi and his group turned around and went into the big train station as Hoshi's aunt wavered them goodbye.

Shortly thereafter, they are now riding a train to Kobe city, which was just an hour away from Osaka city.

What new adventures that are waiting for them?
