<strong>Saisei High School<br/>Saisei, Japan<br/>3:20-3:40<br/></strong><br/>There were some days where Masato might be at the temple at this point; with it being the first day of school, the after-school activities--like his beloved Kendo--were not going on. However, he had stayed late at the school to talk with the teacher of that class about some minutiae regarding a regional competition later in the year.<br/><br/>He had every intention of competing, and Masato was asking all sorts of questions, and making all sorts of plans. It was something nice to look forward to.  But soon enough, he knew he had to be moving along.<br/><strong><br/>Carnation Cake Shop<br/>Saisei, Japan<br/>3:58 Tuesday Afternoon</strong><br/><br/>Still wearing the school uniform, he had walked all the way to the Cake Shop, but had stopped along the way, at one of the many vending machines that littered Japan, and got himself a bottle of mineral water; it was a nice day out, but he was thirsty, and wanted to stay hydrated for his walk.<br/><br/>When he got into the shop, he had actually already finished the water and disposed of the bottle. He would smile, thinly--he has never once fully smiled, as far as anyone can tell-- at the two girls. "Hello." He would say this in English; it was not uncommon for high-schoolers to know a bit of the language and work it into their every day communications, much in the way American's were fond of using French.  But, perhaps he was also doing it especially because Miss Grayle was here? Who knows.<br/><br/>Everything else, he says, though? That's in Japanese. "Sorry, I'm late." He had walked in maybe only a minute after Elizabeth had, but still; felt a little bad. He should have been the first to arrive. He didn't pay any particular extra attention to the foreigner, his attention gravitating towards the cake.<br/><br/>"You know I'm going to have to run twenty laps around the temple to make up for eating this, right?" He'd joke a bit with Fuyuko. "But, it looks like it's going to be worth it. Has anybody else arrived?"
