A sunlit street in Yamaguchi City. Signs for Yuda Onsen and "Yamaguchi City" come into view.
The moment I stepped out of the ticket gate at Shin-Yamaguchi Station, the nostalgic air filled my lungs. It had been a long time since I last returned to my hometown in Yamaguchi. As I walked away from the Shinkansen platform pulling my luggage, I saw two tall figures watching me from across the gate.
...You're finally back. He smiles.
Along with the low voice, a tall man with sharp eyes took a step closer. His black shirt was unbuttoned, his chest illuminated by the station lights. One of my childhood friends. His strong sense of justice and slightly blunt attitude were just as I remembered. Beside him, my other childhood friend was smirking. His black hair was messily styled, and he stared intently at me with his dark, cool eyes.
