Then, Sunday. Me and Yayoi were in Ashikita. This is where “ After School Teibo jorunal” is set. It is a sacred place with several places that have been made into anime. I went to Kumamoto station in the morning. Then I met up with Yayoi there and headed back to Yatsushiro station. I would have to go back and forth, but I hoped I would be able to spend more time with Yayoi. From there I took the Hisatsu-Orenji Railway to Sashiki Station.
“Wow, this place is amazing!”
Yayoi’s excitement was rising. Yayoi is wearing glasses and a beret today, of course. Sashiki Station is a small station, but there are many original drawings of “ After School Teibo Journal” on display inside the station. Yayoi starts taking pictures. Of course I take pictures, too.
“It really feels like we’ve come to a sacred place.”
“This station itself is a sacred place. Let’s go outside for a minute.”
We went outside the station.
“Wow, it’s exactly as it was.”
The station was exactly as it appeared in the anime. It’s an old, small station, but it’s a special place for people who saw the anime. We took another picture.
Then we got on a rental bike from there. This place rents out bicycles, so even if you don’t have a car, you can still make the pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
We headed to an Italian restaurant for lunch. It is a restaurant where one of the characters, Natsumi, eats Neapolitan food, which is served at her parents’ house. Of course, we both ordered Neapolitan.
“Speaking of that, who is your favorite character in After School Teibo Journal, Koki?”
Yayoi asked me.
“Who do you think it is?”
“Well, I guess Ohno-senpai, the one with glasses.”
“No, it’s Natsumi.”
“Eh, I see.”
I guess she thought that I liked bespectacled characters, but my oshi was different.
“Was it unexpected?”
“No. I was surprised. Because Natsumi also wears glasses in some scenes.”
That’s right. Natsumi does not usually wear glasses, but she wears them at home.
“Oh, you found that out?”
“Yes. And her hair.”
“Eh?”
“Natsumi looks more like me than Ohno-senpai.”
“Uuuu”
It is true. Her personality is completely different, but her hair style is close to hers. After all, I chose a character closer to Yayoi, didn’t I?
”Fufu”
Yayoi laughed.
“Who is your favorite?”
“I guess Natsumi, too.”
“I see.”
“Yeah. Because she is the friend of the main character.”
Yes, that’s true. And that’s how it is with me.
“We’re both consistent.”
“Yes, we are.”
The Neapolitan was delicious.
Then we headed to a nearby fishing tackle shop. This is the same fishing tackle shop that appears in the anime as Takohigeya, but now they also sell merchandise for the series.
“This place is just like in the anime, isn’t it?”
“That’s right!”
The name of the store is different, but it looks exactly the same.
We entered the store. As soon as we entered the store, we saw a lot of goods for sale.
“Amazing! I couldn’t find such goods in any anime store in Kumamoto City.”
“Yeah. I’ve never seen all of them before.”
We looked at the goods with excitement. We looked at the goods with excitement, but we were very confused as to which ones to buy. I bought a T-shirt and Yayoi bought some acrylic stands.
