A shiny white slip dropped out of the box :

  Zoko unfold the slip nervously

  Great Fortune,

  Your luck this year is very good you should plan a trip or two , you may meet new friends this year.

  You got it zoko chan - rizuku shouted . Well i was kind of nervous too that if zoko got bad luck the mood will become gloomy and its first day of the year so not a good start too.

  Its unfair why i am the only one who got bad luck ? I guess you gotta stop your mischievous behaviour then only god will grant you good fortune - Kota said.

  Huh what do you mean ? I am not a fox who does prank on people , even despite bullying you got good luck kota thats unfair.

  Seems like you are hungry for a fist yamazaki on the very first day of the new year . Everyone started laughing including zoko who was a bit shy to laugh.

  Well then lets head back to the city kota said with energy in his voice perhaps omikuji result gave him the energy again . Hey zoko chan you should come to our school we will gang out together after school over , it will be fun to have new member in our group.

  After that we started descending from the shrine but here comes the twist again .

  Hey kota we are descending from last 20 minutes but still we on mountain why is it so? Yamazaki asked. Well remember i said i used to come here with my grandfather right? Yes? everyone said.

  Well after reaching shrine i used to get tired so my grandpa carried me down to the house while i sleep on his back so i dont know the path much.

  What the fu- you should have told us earlier ! Shin shouted . Well i didnt think one can get lost while coming down from a mountain so i was silent but.

  Man what should we do now? Ranpo asked. Hey shin keep talking imma fly above tree to see city lights for the direction. Ohh okay wait fly ? Yeah i will turn in cat and fly you forgot?

  Oh yeah nevermind you go try not to fly to high that people notice you .Do you think i am that dumb to not think about that? Yeah shin said while giving smug at rizuku.Wait till we reach home i will deal with you then.

  Well well dont fight my dear friends, enjoy the journey dont just focus on destination. Huh what happened to you suddenly shin kota asked suspiciously ? Nothing just motivating you guys to stay calm and find the right route.

  Oh that reminds me where is rizuku yamazaki said. Damn this moth*rfucker. Ahh you are right she was here just a moment ago rizuku come fast. We should find her she may have got lost . No wait guys she will come back . Are you hiding something shin rampo asked . Me no no !

  Everybody started staring at shin:

  Hey shin i am back! - rizuku shouted from behind.

  Ah there she is ! Where were you rizuku yamazaki asked . Oh i was asking for directions i met a grandma there so she told me to go straight after 25 min you will be in city.Oh i see well then lets go kota shouted while pointing his fist in sky.

  After reaching city :

  Finally we are back , lets go back to home since its afternoon and i am feeling hungary too Kota said.
