Kapitel 270: The Old Man's Story

The team should leave for Fukushima on Friday. However, Yuki decided to go a day early, on Thursday, to deal with his emotional state. Even though he knew he would be in turmoil, he didn't want to show it to the team he still barely knew. In the end, since Aiko was worried about him, she asked for Kato and Riku to accompany him, and fortunately enough those two were willing to do so.

Instead of taking a train, the three decided to use the bus to go there. Even though the journey was a bit longer and inconvenient, it was still far cheaper since the train from Tokyo to Fukushima was still pretty limited after the disaster.

The journey itself took about four and a half hours. Usually, this kind of trip would be fun and filled with laughter. However, the atmosphere among those three was awkward since Yuki spent most of his time staring at the window while Riku and Kato didn't know what to say.
