Chapter 513 Ayia and Shizuka''s House


    Naathyr International Airport, Sakura City, Sakura Abode Country.


    7:02 AM, Monday, January 11th.


    Theo and the others went through all the procedures like receiving their dispatched bags and Customs inspection. That took around 40 minutes to bepleted.


    Now they had just exited the Customs area and were exiting the Disembark Area.


    They were finally free to explore the city!


    They were walking toward the exit of the airport when Sam suddenly eximed, "Hey! Where are we going to leave our luggage while we explore the city?"


    It was only after hearing what Sam said that they realized that they didn''t even know where they were going to stay!


    They needed a ce to leave their luggage, take a shower, and change clothes.


    They wanted to explore the city during the day, and they didn''t want to do it while wearing the clothes they have been wearing since the Kokoro Inds.


    Plus, they had a concert to go to at night, so the girls needed a ce to apply their makeup and get their hair ready.


    It was then that they heard Ayia giggling, "I already took care of that, guys."


    They were confused when they heard her words, but she didn''t disclose any more information before looking for something among the crowd in the airport.


    It was only when she saw a man holding a sigh saying, ''Miss Ayia.'' that her eyes lit up.


    "Come on, follow me." She enthusiastically said as she headed toward the man.


    Most of them were confused, but they still followed her.


    It was only when they arrived near them that the two middle-aged men wearing formal clothes said, "Good morning, Ayia-sama, Shizuka-sama!" They said that in Yamatese.


    "Good morning, guys!" Ayia smiled, "You guys are the ones who will take us to the ce?"


    "Yes, Ayia-sama." They replied.


    "Great, we''ll follow you then." Ayia replied.


    It was only then that they realized that Ayia had arranged her own ce for them to stay, and they were surprised when they realized that.


    Because they realized that Ayia and Shizuka were richer than they thought.


    But a couple of them didn''t show any reaction.


    Shizuka and Theo had calm expressions on their faces. Shizuka knew everything that Ayia did, so she was aware of the housing arrangement. While Theo was informed by Ayia.


    He would nevermit the slip-up of forgetting their amodations, especially with Sylph to remember him. But when he tried to book a hotel for them to stay, Ayia told him that they could stay in one of her family mansions in the city. In the end, he agreed with her n. That''s how everything went down.


    Shortly after, they exited the airport and saw a luxurious minibus waiting for them.


    As their group was formed of 16 people, only minibusses could fit them all in just one vehicle.


    The two employees helped them load their luggage into the minibus trunk before all of them go into the vehicle.


    A few minutester, they rode the bus out of the airport premises.


    "Guys, I have to be honest." Lauren said as they rode through the streets of Sakura City.


    "What?" Kumiko asked


    "I''m so hungry!" Lauren eximed.


    "Me too!" Aurora chimed in.


    "Well, it''s been more than 12 hours since we had ourst meal." Theomented.


    "We didn''t even enjoy any of the free meals on the flight." Max said with a regretful tone of voice.


    "But that''s because we were knocked out for the whole flight." Kinmented.


    "But it''s a shame nheless." June added.


    "We should find somewhere to have breakfast after we leave our luggage at Ayia''s ce." Sayuri suggested.


    "That''s if Ayia hadn''t already nned something for us." Sam said with a thoughtful expression.


    When they heard that, they all looked at Ayia to see her expression, and when they saw her face showing a teasing and mischievous expression they knew that Sam was spot-on on her guess.


    "I didn''t prepare anything!" Ayia tried to deny but she still couldn''t contain her mischievous expression.


    "Your face says it all, Ayia-nee-chan!" Aurora giggled.


    "Yeah, you can''t fool us, Ayia!" Juneughed.


    "..."


    In such a way, they discussed and had fun as they drove through the streets of Sakura City. And as it was the hush hour of the day, they faced a little traffic on their way.


    But Sakura City was built to dissolve traffic.


    Although millions of people lived in the city, it was extremely rare to form traffic jams.


    The subway, train, and public buses functioned efficiently as no city couldpare. Maybe only the other cities in the Sakura Abode Country, but the rest of the world couldn''tpare with Sakurean efficiency.


    And the most amazing thing was that although there were millions of people utilizing public transportation every day, no ce was overcrowded.


    No bus, no trainpartment, or subwaypartment was overcrowded.


    That was because the number of buses, trains, and subways was built to transport at least double the poption that Sakura City housed!


    This meant that no matter how much people used public transportation, it would never be crowded even if all the poption living in Sakura City used them.


    Plus, every year the government expanded the fleet as the city was constantly growing bigger.


    The government spent lots of money every year to maintain public transportation, but at the end of it, it was money well spent as Sakura City didn''t face any traffic jams!


    This meant that no citizen would bete for work or school because of traffic, consequently, the city economy would flow much more swiftly.


    That was one of the reasons that Sakura City was so admired worldwide.


    Long story short, because of this Theo and the others didn''t face much traffic on their way to Ayia and Shizuka''s mansion.


    30 minutes after they left the airport, they arrived at a small mansion in a high-ss neighborhood of Sakura City.


    It is worth mentioning that this mansion wasn''t the Yamada Ancestral Manor where Ayia and Shizuka spent their new year at.


    This was the mansion that Ayia and Shizuka lived in when they were studying at college.


    This mansion was near the Rainbow Sakura College where the girls studied and graduated from.


    Their parents bought the ce for them when they got into the university as they didn''t want to live in the dorms.


    After living at the ce for a few years, Ayia and Shizuka started loving the ce, so they asked their parents if they could keep the ce even after they finished college.


    "Wee to our house!" Ayia said with a wide smile when they entered the mansion.


    Everyone had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.


    ''Is that a house? It''s clearly a mansion!'' They all had the same thought.
