Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-373

They had arrived in Shizuoka and they entered another tram to go to Sumatakyou.

"What is special about that place?" Akeno asked.

"Hmm, well, I have heard it from my dad," Yuuki said.

Yes! He had heard it during his trip to Dubai. His dad had told him about that place where he took his mother on a date during their youth. He had always been curious about that place and wanted to take her there since he had a chance.

Yuuki started to tell her about that place where there was a lot of canyon with abundant nature, it also had a 'Suspension Bridge of Dreams' that was built over the blue river, and unmanned 'Okuoikojo Station' floating over a lake.

"It is also a perfect place for photography," Yuuki took his camera and showed it to her.

Akeno understood why he had told her to wear something that easy to walk since they would explore around the place. She was also curious about that place since she heard it was from his father.

They were riding the tram and arrived in an hour. They looked at the scenery around and felt admiration since it was very beautiful. They could feel the fresh air around them and even though it was almost summer yet they could feel it was quite cool in this place.

"It'll take another 20 minutes before we get to the 'Suspension Bridge of Dreams'," Yuuki said.

Akeno looked around and said, "There are quite a few people here."

"That's because this bridge is quite popular," Yuuki said and added, "The name is derived from the 'The Fantastical Bridge You'd Seen In a Dream' but it could also be 'The Bridge You'd be Scared Crossing In Nightmare' too."

Akeno nodded, "I see, I guess the bridge has a different meaning for different people."

They continued to walk and heard some people talking to each other.

"That bridge sure was scary."

"You said it!"

"Did you make a wish? The Bridge is said to grant love to those who make a wish at the center of it."

Akeno and Yuuki looked at each other and smiled.

"It is certainly kind of romantic," Akeno said.

Yuuki nodded, "It seems it is not wrong to bring you here."

They continued to walk and saw a beautiful blue river.

Akeno was curious and asked, "Why is the river so blue?"

"Hmm, probably because of the Tyndall effect," Yuuki said.

"Tyndal effect? Is it the one that we learned?" Akeno asked.

Yuuki nodded and said, "I have only heard it but there are some fine particles that are contained in the water hit by the light only reflect the blue color wavelength, the water's surface appearing blue is a phenomenon apparently called the 'Tyndall Effect'."

"Hmm, you sure know a lot of things, I thought you would be dumb and spend your time flirting with girls," Akeno smiled.

Yuuki twitched his lips, "Well your name needs to be smart or else he can't make a lot of sisters for you."

Akeno twitched her lips and sighed. She looked at him and asked, "Can I meet your other girlfriends?"

Yuuki nodded, "Sure, I have also wanted to invite you to my house."

Akeno nodded, "Then I will go there later."

They continued to walk and saw a beautiful lake with a blue color.

"It was beautiful," Akeno said.

"Really? I think you're more beautiful," Yuuki said to her.

Akeno smiled, "It is good that you understand."

Yuuki took his camera and took in the breathtaking scenery in front of him.

"Let's go there, I can't wait to cross the bridge," Akeno said.

Yuuki nodded and followed her.

They understood why there would be a lot of people who would come to this place. They were waiting for their time to cross the bridge since the bridge was only strong enough to hold 10 people at a time. They were waiting for their queue for a while and started to cross the bridge.

Akeno was in front of him while looking quite nervous. She didn't expect that this bridge was quite scary but she was also excited at the same time.

It was hard for her to maintain her balance since the bridge was quite shaky and the plank was quite thin.

Akeno walked quite fast since she wanted to cross the bridge as soon as possible. But suddenly she lost her balance and fell down. She closed her eyes only she felt someone holding her body.

"You should be careful," Yuuki said with a helpless expression.

Akeno sighed in relief and kept holding him, "Thank you, c - can we walk together like this?"

Yuuki nodded, "Sure, I won't let you go."

Her heart suddenly throbbed and she blushed. He looked very handsome right now and she understood now the suspension bridge effect was real.

Both of them crossed the bridge slowly until they arrived in the middle of the bridge.

Akeno stopped and wished for both of them to have another chance to go here together.

"Have you made your wish?" Yuuki asked.

Akeno nodded, "Yes, I wish you to become a masochist and let me become a sadist."

Yuuki thought for a while and said, "W - well, we can try it later."

Akeno looked at him with a smile, "Really?" She was anticipating for that chance to come when she could have revenge on her.

Yuuki sighed but nodded, "But I will bully you thoroughly before that."

Akeno blushed, "You bully!!!"

"But you like it, right?" Yuuki whispered with a teasing tone.

Akeno shuddered and wanted to cross the bridge as soon as possible or else he would bully here in this place, "A-anyway, let's go! There is still a lot of people behind us!!"

"Yes," Yuuki smiled and continued to walk while holding her hand.
