El-Fighter: The Brave New Fighter (Book I)
105. Golden Week (Day Before Mission) II

On the other side of Shinjitsu, Jubei is seen still on his way to the apartment which is located quite far from the Dormitory or Shinjitsu International High School. While still on the bus, Jubei saw social media posts by classmates including posts from V-FIGHTER's at Nagano Temple

“ Haku-chan looks really enjoy her holiday today~ turns out the guys are in Nagano Temple ? Hmmm~ I don't think there's any harm in completing the mission later I'll take them away there ! Aaaah~ Tazuya and his cousin ? It seems they are starting to get along ehehe~ “ Jubei said while paying attention to all her friends' posts

Jubei finally reached his apartment. The location of Jubei and Jiyu apartments is on the 6th floor. At first Jiyu rented a simple two-story small apartment when she first entered High School in Shinjitsu. When Jubei decided to attend Junior High School in Shinjitsu and Jiyu got a side job with a sizable salary while in college, Jiyu is finally able to rent an apartment that is modern enough so that Jubei does not feel inferior to their residence in Shinjitsu

“ Okeee~ huuufff “ Jubei take a breath before exiting his elevator

Jubei exited the elevator. At the same time where he entered his apartment, Jubei's mother named Hana Fujieda came out of his apartment room to dispose of garbage after vacuuming the room

“ Ah ! Ibuuuu~ “ Call Jubei who immediately ran to get to him

“ Jubeeeee~ “ Sapa Hana who directly hugged her daughter

“ Mom just arrived ? “ Ask Jubei

“ Eeeeeh~ no-tidaaak~ we all came 2 hours ago kok~ Fortunately your brother is inside and I immediately help him to clean up and prepare lunch “ explained Hana

“ We all ? That means father and mother come not berdu-“

“ YAHOOOOOOOUUUUU~ “ Suddenly his mother's male cousin Jubei Kondo Kagerou suddenly comes and surprises him from behind. He and Jubei are the same age and Kondo is 2 months younger than him

“ HYAAAAAAAAAAA ! “

“ Ahahahahaa~ long time no see o cousinukuuu~ you are getting taller and more feminine yaa~ “ Goda Kondo

“ AAAAAAAAAAGHHH~ KONDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! “ Shouted exasperated Jubei while trying to avenge his cousin by hitting him with a pair of repulsive shoes made Kondo reflexively avoid him

( SATS! THE SAT! THE SAT! THE SAT! THE SAT! )

“ Eheheheeii Jubei-kun his masculine “cewe energy still exists also yes ” Praise Kondo while trying to dodge all his attacks Jubei with his laugh

“ Wah waaaah~ Jubei-kun~ you have not changed even though you have become a very beautiful woman~ “ Sahut Bibi Sora Kagerou who is none other than the mother of Kondo and Sister of Hana

“ She became as beautiful as Kak Hana yaa~ “ Mumbled her husband Bibi Sora named Taro Kagerou

Jubei was a little shocked as his parents did not say anything about the arrival of his Uncle and Aunt to Shinjitsu. They told Jubei that they wanted to take a vacation to Shinjitsu during Golden Week while accompanying Kato and Hana to go to Mamoru's parents' place tomorrow afternoon

“ Ah ! Uncle Taro ? Aunt Sora ? You guys are here too ?! “ Tanya Jubei with her shocked tone

“ Yaaaa~ for holidays during Golden Week~ “ Aunty Sora replied with her cheerful tone

“ Come masuuuuk~ take all your cookies into “ Take Hana to Jubei to enter the Apartment

“ Father and Mother did not say if her family Aunt Sora will also come here~ My money is not enough to give extra bread ! “ Whisper Jubei to Hana

“ Don't worry... Taro-kun already brought meat and vegetables from Hokkaido.so we can make Yakiniku for lunch “ Mumbled Kato who helped his eldest daughter Jiyu to prepare Yakiniku.

“ Jubei~ Ooooh thank goodness you came also finally~ just put the cake and the bread was on the table to eat “ Gumam Jiyu who was still busy preparing lunch

“ Jadiii... where will uncle and aunt settle ? Room in this apartment there are only three rooms “ Jubei asked his parents while taking out all the cakes and breads he bought at the bakery

“ The three of them rent an apartment on the 1st floor where it is a special area for rent a week and a day “ Jiyu replied

“ Ooooh~ okay okeee~ good then “ Jubei said with a smile

“ Ayoooo~ it's time we ate siaaaang~ “ Call Hana to others to gather at the table

Jubei and all his family members gathered at the dinner table to prepare to enjoy a lunch meal of Hokkaido-style Yakiniku meat, mayonaise potato salad and orange juice. During lunch the families asked Jubei to tell him about his experience at Shinjitsu International High School

“ Welcome thenaaaan~ “

“ Let's eat that many Kondo ! You don't see if Jubei-kun is as tall as you ? “ Tegur Sora with Kondo who takes a little meat and rice

“ Patience Buuu~ even though I drink milk every day ! “ Grumbled Kondo

“ Uwooooooooogghh~ Aqwu swudu lumuuuu... do not eat meat during boardingaa~ “ Praise Jubei who speaks while eating one of beef tongue

“ Jubei ! Don't eat when your mouth is full ! “ Tegur Kato sitting next to him

“ But this is really tasty~ “ Mumbles Jiyu who agrees with his sister's opinion

“ Soii~ since when was Uncle Taro in Hokkaido ? “ Tanya Jubei who still eats his sure meat

“ Since you were in Shinjitsu to continue your Junior High School we originally wanted to move to Kobe~ But we decided to settle down to Hokkaido because my friends live there a lot ! So it will be very easy to learn from each other about farming ! As you know... Hokkaido is a pretty good place to breed and produce food ! Because we already have the ability to interact and take care of livestock.Thank God we can live a new life in Hokkaido well ! Later if you have a long holiday..stop there occasionally “ Uncle Taro explained his new life in Hokkaido.

“ Thank goodness if you can adapt and live your life better in Hokkaido.

“ Yaaaaa ! Even Kondo-kun has become a popular student at his schoolaa~ He even has many female fans who often pursue him~ ohohohoho~ “ Sora said while praising Kondo

“ Please Bu~ don't make me ashamed of Jubei-kun ! “ Grumpy Kondo with red face meronanya

“ So Jubei~ what about your life at Shinjitsu International High School ? “ Tanya Hana who is curious about the life of Jubei in her school

“ Uh ? “

“ Yaaaa~ moreover you are the second person from Kijishi to make it to the favorite SMA all over Asia ! Elite schools too ! So please tell me what your experience was like there Jubei “ said Kato who asked Jubei to tell her experience

“ Hmmm~ is not so special ahehe~ “ Reply Jubei who hesitates to talk about something about his experience

“ Ayolaaaaah~ little sisterku~ just tell me and don't be shy “ Persuade Jiyu

“ Okeeee~ is actually siiih~ I was able to enter that school because it was really pure luck... I admit the problem is quite difficult and there are some of them are really beyond what I learned “ Jubei explained while remembering the moment he was surprised to see all about the entrance exam

“ And what about your friends ? “ Ask Kondo

“ They are all good people.. I really did not expect even though most of them all come from famous people's families.turned out there are still many of them are very good people ! Very different to what most Kijishi people think of those who are considered as “Si rich slackers who are cunning”! For international students, they are fun enough to be friends ! “ Clearly Jubei while telling about what the students at the school are like

“ Hmmm interesting also~ “ Mumbled Kondo

“ Of course ! I'm sure people in Shinjitsu must be thinking the same as us who think Kijishi people are “kotor and hina” just because we are always behind them... there are still many people who want to be our friends regardless of our status as Kijishi ! Just like Jubei's friends... they are excellent Shinjitsu natives without knowing Jubei's status as Kijishi “ Kato explains about people's views on Shinjitsu and Kijishi's population status gap

“ It would probably be great if Jubei-kun could be accepted to work with one of the companies belonging to the four elite Shinjitsu families that~ “ Murmured Sora

“ Heeeeee~ would be great if he could build his own business ! And if diligently explored... Jubei can be a successful person with his own efforts as well as being successful just like his older brother ! “ Sahut Hana who believes in his ability Jubei

“ Uh ? Ummm~ be-is it really ? “ Tanya Jubei with her shocked tone

“ Of Jubei ! If your brother can... his sister should be able to also “ said Jiyu who tried to make Jubei become spirit.

They then change the topic about the preparation of Jiyu's wedding and ask about Mamoru. Jiyu and Mamoru had agreed to marry in June at the beginning of the summer when Shinjitsu International High School began a month-long summer break

“ So Jiyu-chan... are you ready to enlist yourself and your future husband into bureaucracy ? And what was your candidate like ? “ Ask Sora

“ We've known each other since High School... and have started dating when already in college siih~ Mamoru is a good person and he is an employee at one of the branches of the Akashinya family and works in the Permorprograman~ about when we got married... we agreed to get married in early June “, Jiyu explained about Mamoru and their wedding plans

“ Aaaaaah~ nice nice nice ! Already I guess Jiyu-chan got the best person to be her future husband~ “ Praise Uncle Taro

“ Mom and dad are happy because you can hold your family's trust to be the best person in Shinjitsu “ Kato murmured who is proud of Jiyu

“ Te-thank you “ Jiyu replied while blushing shyly

Hearing all the compliments and conversations his family had about Jiyu, Jubei's expression slowly turned into a trifle because although he was happy to see his brother get a good life, Jubei felt that he was still very far behind him

*****

When he finished lunch, Jubei was seen helping his mother and older sister to clean the table and Jubei was able to clean the dishes used for lunch just now. When Jiyu volunteered to help his sister wash the dishes, Jubei decided to talk about his feelings if Jubei managed to surpass him while Jiyu was amazed to see Jubei was much more social than he was

“ Jubei~ sister help yaaa~ “ Jiyu said as she approached Jubei who was focusing on washing dishes

“ Oh ! Ti-don't bother~ Brother mending see all the files that will be filled for the bureaucracy with father in the guest room “ said Jubei who tried to reject the offer from Jiyu

“ Dad is calling someone outside. while Mom is still busy making sure if there is no dust left in the guest room.. soiii~ than I bengong there mending I just help you “ explained Jiyu.

“ Okeee~ “

(Smutually silent )

“ Eeeeeh ?  Is that really ? “

“ Yaa~ therefore I am a bit inferior to Mamoru-kun who has a friend to invite in the Groom Shower session and I only have 3 closest friends for the Bridal Shower session later... and if one day if Jubei is going to get married it will be exciting later if your friends come “ Jiyu continues which reveals if he is still inferior to Mamoru who has many friends than him

“ Hmmmm~ to be famous it does not guarantee we can get many close friends yaaa “ Gumam Jubei

“ It seems so.. many people know about me... Mamoru-kun who is more than me because he is not only smart but also very charismatic “ Mutters Jiyu while comparing himself and Mamoru

(Jubei thinks for a moment)

“ Brother... What someday can I surpass you ? “ Ask Jubei while wiping some washed dishes and glasses

“ Hmmm~ it depends on you whether you can achieve something with the results of your hard work...  But I'm sure you can definitely get something better than me “ explained Jiyu who believes that Jubei can surpass him

“... “

“ Jiyuuu~ Your father is waiting in the guest room “ Call Hana to his eldest daughter to see Kato immediately

“ Ah yes ! I came ayaaaah “

When Jiyu left the kitchen, Hana who heard all their talk decided to continue the topic by encouraging Jubei not to always be inferior to herself

“ I think you already feel more confident when you managed to enter the flagship SMA “ Gumam Hana to Jubei

“ Sorry mom ! I admit I do have a problem I can't talk about because it has something to do with Brother ! Every time I hear what people say about him and praise his perfection.I just ! I don't want to say it ! I don't think I can be like him ! “ Complaints Jubei who is still inferior to the success of Jiyu

“ Jubei... Everyone has their own special side ! You do not need to be inferior to anyone if you feel left behind from your friends or your brother... all you have to do is develop all your potential~ Iri but not doing anything is a lie... you also have to be aware if you also have the potential of “, said Hana while offering Nikuman to Jubei

“ Yaaa bu “ Reply Jubei while bowing lethargic and taking Nikuman at the table eat

“ Hmmm~ you can.. archery and shoot with perfect target when hunting in the forest.. can concoct potions... daaaaaaan~ can cook too ! Aaaah~ what if you develop the first and second only ?! Develop that technique in the field of sports ! This hand of yours is the hand of an archer, and you will surely win ! “ Obviously Hana while watching her daughter's palm

“ Ehehee~ but there are still many who are more pro than me Bu~ “ Jubei said

“ You've taught your father all kinds of things ! Including from hunting and using weapons ! Maybe if martial arts is the right one for you to develop “ Hana continued

“ Hanaaa~ “ Call Sora who entered kedapur apartment

“ Sora-Nee ? Is there something ? “ Ask Hana

“ This afternoon will we go to Nagano Temple ? There will be a Golden Week parade there ! So me and the others want to go there to see him “ Sora want to take Hana to Nagano's door this afternoon

“ Good idea ! Yes ‘kan bu ? “ Ask Jubei who agreed to go there because Tazuya and the others are there

“ Hmmmm~ can also be ! We'll be there a little afternoon because Jiyu and Kato-kun haven't finished filling the sheets yet ! How ? “ Said Hana who agreed with Sora's invitation

“ Okeee ! I will tell Taro and Kondo-kun first yaa~ “ Sora said while going out of the Apartment to tell her husband and son about their next plan

“ Well Jubei ? Are you feeling better enough now ? “ Hana again asked Jubei who was still eating his Nicum

“ Yes Mom ! I've... feel pretty better “

“ If you are curious about what Jiyu and your father did. It does not matter if you want to see it “.

“ Don't have to ma'am.. I don't want to disturb their concentration... I'm going to the room to find out which clothes fit to go to Nagano “ Jubei rejects Hana's offer to allow her to see what Jiyu and Kato are doing

In the afternoon at Nagano Temple, Inuya and others were seen finished watching the traditional dance performances performed by Honoka and the Maiko. The seven of them met Kiko and Kenneth who had just arrived at the show

“ Aaaah~ you guys have finished the roads ? “ Ask Vladimir

“ Of course~ we are all here to invite you to see the Golden Week parade that will last another hour ! “ Obviously Kiko while showing the parade brochure in Nagano Temple area

“ Hoooo~ good deh looks like you have satisfied the streets in this Temple “ Alessander told Kiko

“ Where is Iga ? “ Ask Kenneth

“ She met her cousin in calligraphy room “ Ryuga replied

“ Hey ! Let's eat yuk first ! How about we all eat at Tako-chan's stand over there ? The mumpung is located near the “ Tawar Kiko parade area to other students

“ No problem ! We haven't eaten anything from “ said Shan-Lee

“ You all go first ! I want to meet Tazuya first “ Sahut Inuya who wants to go to Tazuya and Kazuya

“ Yaaaa “

In the calligraphy room, Tazuya and Kazuya were seen relaxing together while drinking green tea and Hanami Dango. When Inuya entered the room, Inuya wanted to invite the two of them to come to eat together with the other 1-LA-A students

“ Heh ! Thank goodness you two did not run away from this room “ Inuya said as he approached Tazuya and Kazuya

“ Sorry yaa~ you can't get Dangonya part “ Celtuk Kazuya to Inuya

“ Others have been waiting for you at the Tako-chan food stand to see the parade there..?. You want to come there ? “ Ask Inuya while inviting the two of them to go to Tako-chan

“ I want ! “

“ You please go first.. The atmosphere here soon will be crowded ! So I can't leave this place empty without “ guards Kazuya rejects Inuya's invitation

“ Alright~ then I go first ! Say hello to Uncle and others yaa~ Bye-bye~ “ Tazuya finally farewell to Kazuya

“ Hmmm ! Thank you for stopping by “

At Tako-chan's food stand, students from class 1-LA-A were gathered there waiting for a parade. Not long ago, Jubei and his family came there to see the Golden Week parade there

“ Oh ! Iga ! “ Sapa Shan - Lee

“ How was your day with your cousin earlier ? “ Ask Ryuga

“ Hmm~ lumayaan~ “

“ Friends-theaaaaaan~ “ Call Jubei who just came along with his family

“ Jubei ?! So you along with your family came here too ?! “ Sapa Tazuya while asking about his family Jubei

“ Iiiiyap~ Come here all want to see parade~ “ Jubei replied

“ So this is your friend you often tell me about ? I guess you can't yet become a feminine girl because you're still friends with guys ! “ Chirps Kondo

“ No harm ‘kan ? “ Jubei

“ Errr~ Sa-greetings know ! “ Sapa Tazuya

“ Nice to meet you “ Ataru said

“ Tell me if any of them have a girlfriend ? “ Whisper Kondo

“ EGH ! It's bullshit ! I don't have a boyfriend yet ! We are just friends !  Shouted the irritated Jubei

“ Ehehehe~ yaaa~ yaaa~ “

The Golden Week parade finally began and the atmosphere there became even more lively. While watching the parade, the V-FIGHTER discussed about their mission tomorrow and whether they would succeed in carrying it out

“ Do you think you're ready tomorrow ? “ Ask Ataru

“ Ready not ready... we definitely have to deal with it ! “ Inuya

“ Take a look at this.. it is very festive.. without any interference from the bad guys “ Sahut Jubei while looking at the situation in a very lively parade.

“ As El-Fighter.. It is our responsibility to protect the people and bring them a bright future “ Tazuya told others while reminding them of their responsibilities as El-Fighter

“ It's true “ Ryuga said briefly
