"since when did we become tree Finders?" Nico asked pushing away another plant in her way.
"Huh? There are people who find trees?
"No idiot I was telling about what we're doing" Nico glared at Run, she was already irritated trying to find some tree, which she was sure that someone crazy would do.
Eli rubbed her forehead in frustration.
"Why did you suggest that everyone must come along?" she asked "Three or four of us would have been enough".
After Honoka informed them about the letter and the cherry tree under which Maki will be there waiting for her, she didn't expect that the Ginger had the crazy idea of looking for this tree, she was about to suggest that Honoka should sent Maki a letter asking which tree it was. But that would probably take more time, so Honoka had no choice but to actually look for that tree.
"Well my cards said that we will find it faster if all of us look for it together besides if you're trying to look for something it's better to have more people right?"
"Yeah I know but-"
"Stupid rock how dare you get in the super idol Nico's way?"
"-sometimes it's better to have less number of people" Eli said, looking around apparently they weren't making much progress.
"No no not that either" Honoka said.
"This one?" Kotori pointed out.
"No"
"You have been saying the same thing for all the trees" Eli pointed out.
"None of them are right" Honoka said, "I could tell by one look which Cherry blossom tree Maki-chan mentioned".
"Really do you two share some telepathic link or something?" Nico huffed.
"What?"
"Nothing".
"Yeah we can't look at all the trees in Tokyo" Umi reasoned with her."it's pointless you'll just have to ask her to meet you somewhere else".
"But Umi-chan that's impossible we don't have her number and we don't know where she lives, she did mention that the address on the letter was her friends address and not hers".
"Yeah" maki had written that at the bottom, but Honoka didn't notice it.
"We should-"
"No way I'll keep looking" Honoka stood back up.
"She's so stubborn".
"The tree which I feel is the right one is the tree which Maki-chan will come too" that's what Honoka had said them, they had stared at her like she had suddenly grown two heads. But then again they didn't want to let her go alone, she might no correction will definitely get lost.
3 hours had already gone, it was already 6:00 pm, the sky was turning to a shade of dark red, the bright orange was slowly disappearing it won't take for the darkness to take over the sky.
"Come on honoka let's go you're parents will be worried about you" Umi said.
"No way!" Honoka breathed out, she had done everything she could, looked around everywhere and visited many trees, she did work hard than anyone else as a result she was more tired than the others.
"I can't give up", but her body did not agree with her, she couldn't move from exhaustion but her stubborn attitude didn't stop her.
"Honoka" Umi sighed, what was she supposed to do, now they couldn't keep looking it was already so late but the stubborn ginger didn't listen to her.
"We can't keep looking, the others are tired and I'm pretty sure you're more tired than us" Eli said, but Honoka didn't reply her attention went to white thing moving in the bushes.
"Honoka?" The others got confused when the girl stood up and walked towards the bush.
"Oh" the white thing was apparently a dove, the little bird got scared seeing a human and tried to fly away but it fell down, well it almost did if Honoka had not caught it.
"Look it's injured" Eli pointed out, they looked at the bird's leg it indeed had a big wound.
"Poor bird nya"
"I have a first aid kit with me" Umi said, removing her bag, Honoka still held the bird gently as Eli and Nozomi carefully applied the ointment and wrapped it's leg in bandages.
"Why do you have a first aid kit in the first place?" Nico asked, "it even has the medicines needed for animals".
"Well Honoka usually finds a injured animal when she's in the forest, or she gets injured herself so I knew it will come in handy" she replied placing all the bandages and cotton inside.
"Come on Umi-chan Honoka-chan didn't get hurt this time right?" Kotori said.
"Well we did make sure that she won't fall whenever she climbed a tree".
"Honoka-chan?" Hanayo asked.
"Honoka-chan?" Ron repeated. Throughout the conversation Honoka kept quiet, only looking at the bird.
"What's wrong?" Nozomi tried asking, but she still didn't get a reply, after sometime the bird started flapping it's wings and it flew from Honoka's hands.
"What?" No we only applied the medicine it can't fly now, it might fall down again". Umi said, everyone followed the bird.
Normally it would be impossible to follow a flying bird, but this dove flew slowly not very high from the ground, it had a injured leg not wing so it didn't have pain in its wings, but the injury still made it difficult for the bird to fly.
The bird flew towards a tree and sat on it, as the others were following they stood in front of the tree. Honoka eyes shone in excitement,
"That's it" she yelled.
'what's it?" The others asked her, Honoka pointed at the huge cherry blossom tree
"That's the tree I was looking for!"
hello everyone miracle fairy here.
I know this story has been on haitus for a long long time, just felt like updating it suddenly and I just wanted to finish this one this was my very first story when I went through the first few chapters, I winced at how badly I had written I thought of changing it but I let it be.
I know that's crazy, I myself won't read if a story was written like that, but still a few people had supported me at that time and told the mistakes, I don't if those people are still reading but I was totally grateful for all your help.
This story was just to cherish the friendship between two girls, nothing else. You don't get true friends nowadays, it would be really nice to have friends like how muse are, but that enough rambling from me.
The next chapter will be the last one, and obviously you'll see maki in the next chapter. I should properly have it uploaded in the next week.
Thank you for reading, have a nice day.
