Leaving Goda, the two headed toward "Shibuya 3-chome," passing many flower shops along the main streets and alleyways.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly on the tree-lined street.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting floating lights and fleeting shadows.
The two of them walked down such a shaded path.
After walking for ten minutes, Dubian Che took off his suit jacket, draped it over his shoulder, and looked handsome in a different way.
Kiyono Lin glanced at him, finding the temperature just right for herself.
Ahead of them, two girls in Goda High School uniforms were walking; judging by the color of their ties, both were first years.
They were carrying balloons, probably picked up from a graduation ceremony.
They visited three flower shops, but none met their criteria.
Either they didn't source directly from Ota Flower Market, or they didn't intend to honor their agreement to send the best roses from the shop—just picking any stem to get by.
