48 3.5- The Night is Still Young and I Will Wait For You On The Other Side. (1/2)
Ozone Station is not unlike other railway stations that you may encounter in major countries but in Metropolitan Japan you may find similar countries with similar influences such as Singapore and the Philippines. Both were being occupied by Japan before and some stayed back to build their own community over the years.
Such as Ozone Station, it has a variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and convenience stores and a huge and spacious Oz Garden underground mall beneath it. There is a garden, a museum and sports dome within walking distance to it and a sprawl of budget and luxurious hotels around as well.
Akira and I were walking around in the business district window shopping at Kinokuniya, a super mega bookstore that ranges from paperbacks to hardbacks, fiction to non-fiction as well as covers languages from other countries as well.
Akira was browsing some paperback novels at the 'Romance' section and she was reading the back of the novel that was unfortunately shrink-wrapped. The cover was of a teenage couple and the title was ”I will wait for you on the other side.” The paperback novel was about 1 inch thick or so.

Seeing her hold the book and reading the title made my emotions that I suppressed to rise once more. I had no choice but to turn away and walk over to another aisle. There in the corner was a self-service kiosk where one can sit and have a cup of AGF Blendy Cafe Latory Coffee, Mocha or Tea to read their purchase.
Even I who had never made any purchase; but as an author of a WN; it do entitle me to have an AGF Blendy Cafe Latory Mocha Latte.
I helped myself to the above and sat down on a circular table meant for 3. Sipping on the piping hot drink managed to soothe my imperfection. I was thinking of what the hell this Leap was about especially it managed to exploit my emotions so deep that it affected my next Leap.
Akira came back to me at the refreshment area with the book tightly clutched at her chest. The price tag I saw was ¥1, 589 which was considered quite alright for a paperback with around 120 - 180 pages thick. The most important is the clickbait title and its flashy book cover design. Any girl would fall for it.
”Do you want the book...? Go ahead and buy it then... Since we are here, would you like me to get someone to unwrap for you so you could read a page or two?”
I saw that Akira was biting her lower lip and clutching the book close to her chest. Through her body language, one can read without even saying a single word that she really desires the book and would not let it down no matter what.
”Aahh... Let me guess; you wished to get a reward by your excellent swimming capabilities earlier right...? Then let me have the honour of rewarding this book to you then... Come, let me have the book and I get someone to gift wrap it for you... No need to unwrap the plastic to read; you may read it at home then... ”
