Third person POV
Friday night came, and Roxas and his friends are now planning to go on a weekend camping trip in the mountains. Many mountains within the Kanto region of Japan were considered, but one was eventually chosen: Mount Tō, in Susugaya, Kiyokawa, Aiko District, Kanagawa Prefecture. So, with that in mind, all of them packed their backpacks with the essentials like food and emergency kits. At the same time, Roxas informed his family back in the Philippines about the camping trip and that he will be going with his friends. His family then accepted it and told him to be careful out there. Eiji was with them, wanting some fresh air and a different scenery.
And then, Saturday morning came, and all of them are now in a train to Kiyokawa, Aiko District with their backpacks on their backs. Eiji wore a hoodie and pants to cover his identity from the Tower's surveillances, but he did keep his swords in his inventory just in case any mob who would attack their campsite. The group of five had eaten a light breakfast at 7:12 a.m., before catching a train at 7:40 a.m. Roxas was looking forward, and his open-door side of his personality was turned on. Anko was also excited to camp out in the great outdoors with his vessel and his friends. Hideyoshi was also excited as well. Sachi also hovered along to see nature.
At 8:35 a.m., upon arriving at Banda Station, which was one of the nearest stations towards Kiyokawa, all of them got off and took a bus to Kiyokawa. Along the way, they crossed the Shiomizu Bridge before arriving at Kiyokawa at 9:20 a.m. There all of them got off and went into the village itself first before trekking through the woods and mountainous terrain towards the foot of Mount Tō.
Arriving there, the group took a nice look at the mountains and the surrounding greens it has. Roxas was enamored by its cleanliness, while Koyuki was already making a pencil sketch of the spot in her little, A6-sized sketchbook. Minato and Shuto took pictures of themselves in front of the mountain. Seeing that, Roxas pulled out his smartphone and took pictures of the mountain first, then himself. After that, he looked at Koyuki and asked her if she wanted to have a selfie picture of herself with him.
Koyuki blushed like crazy upon hearing that, but she eventually agreed. "Sure…"
With that, Roxas changed the position of his phone's camera to the front and pointed his phone at himself and Koyuki, who put a neutral, shy expression on her face.
"Okay, say cheese!" Roxas said to her.
Koyuki then smiled slightly, and Roxas snap a picture out of it.
After that, Roxas took a look of their selfie picture together, which was nice and good. "Wow, you looked good in that picture, Koyuki-chan."
Koyuki blushed once again but managed to snap out and said, "Yes, thanks."
After all that, the five friends started searching for an appropriate and perfect spot to set up their small camp. After much finding, they found one and unloaded their belongings to set up their camp for the weekend. So, Shuto and Minato set up their and their friends' tents while Roxas and Koyuki scoured the surrounding areas to search for fallen tree branches to be used as firewood. The pair found some and put them in their inventories for later. Roxas was positive. Eiji was scouring the area for any mobs that might be roaming the area and had slashed a few of them for XPs and loot. He had essentially showcased his fighting styles at Roxas and his group, who were in awe.
And then, Koyuki asked Roxas about the time he got killed by an Elite Player in the Kōtō City Tunnels and his recent first trip to the SAO Tower. "Oh, these?" Roxas looked at her in response. "Yeah, I remembered that. That was quite lucky of me to have a spirit guardian within me. And at the Tower, I was quite lucky with my 1,000 percent survival rate. Plus, I get to see three of the Elite Players."
Anko then came out of his body and said to Koyuki happily and enthusiastically, "Yup, and I was happy that he had accepted my request! Look at the results now!"
Koyuki was taken aback by Anko's presence and became positive at him. "Oh, yeah, right, thanks for everything, Anko-kun. You really helped Roxas-kun a lot, and us, all this time."
"No problem," Anko replied with a quick smile, "it's my duty to protect him, of course."
Roxas was happy that his spirit guardian had conversed with Koyuki so well.
The spirit of Sachi glowed a warm aura.
