Japanese Light Novels & Stories

Amelia, holding my mother's hand, smiled and said, "Mrs. Carden, let's go check out the carp by the lake. There's one that's really huge." Mom was spacing out when she said, "Yocelyn always loved taking care of fish. Most people can't keep their fish alive for long, but Yocelyn's fish? They thrived for ages. One even made it five whole years." Amelia's gaze was fixed straight ahead when suddenly, the corners of her mouth twitched into a creepy smile that flickered across her face. A shiver ran through me, a chilling dread shooting straight to the top of my head. Then it hit me.

Nina says with a slight frown. "Then let's go to have a big meal! There is a nice new Japanese restaurant in the city center. Let me buy you a dinner. To celebrate resigned today." "All right." Looking at cheerful look of good friend, Nina does not have the heart to refuse. The new Japanese restaurant looks really good. The outside decoration is very elegant, and there are two stone fish tanks in the doorway, in which has water lily and goldfish, which have a lot of atmosphere. Seeing Nina and Sunny come in, the usher at the door is sorry to say, "Ladies, there is no vacant seat now, would you please wait inside the private room?"

I happily mentioned and handed the menu to the Japanese waiter who was smiling strangely at me… “What about you, sir?” The waiter asked politely but Damian only took a glance at the menu in his hands.. “ Yakitori, Takoyaki and of course Udon…that would be all.” It wasn't his first time in Japan so he naturally knew what he wanted without having to stare at the menu.. “ It's like you've been here frequently.. the employees of this building are quite familiar with you..” I muttered as I stared at the fancy restaurant which was inside the building which also has its own supermarket, Mall, casino, and a luxurious lounge..

There were always things in October. He cleared them. We landed in Osaka on a Tuesday morning and took the train to Kyoto, which was two and a half hours of countryside and the specific quality of Japanese light in October that Leo had written about in his postcard and that was, arriving at it from the train window, exactly as he had described. I texted him a photograph of the light through the window. He replied within minutes: I told you.

It hurt so badly that I broke out in cold sweat and pulled myself into a fetal position, shivering hard under my blankets. I thought of getting something to drink and got up, carelessly making my way downstairs to the kitchen. The lights in the living room weren't turned on. However, I caught sight of a dark figure sitting on the couch in the darkness. It was Leonard. He sat on the couch without moving a muscle. He was holding a cigarette between his fingers, the faint glow flickering in the dark. I didn't dare to make a sound and thought of retreating as quietly as possible. "Since you're already up, you might as well come over."

I groan, but the smell drags me upright. We shuffle into the kitchen in borrowed pajamas. Mrs. Nakamura is at the stove in a flour-dotted apron, humming some old city-pop song. Mr. Nakamura is already at the low table, reading the newspaper and pretending he’s not checking the time so we’re not late. Mrs. Nakamura (bright): “Ohayo, Celeste-chan! Sit, sit. Eat before school.” There’s a full Japanese breakfast spread: perfectly rolled tamagoyaki, salmon grilled until the skin is crispy, miso soup with tiny cubes of tofu floating like clouds, rice still steaming, pickled vegetables in bright colors.

Light said while gesturing at random places in the cafe. “Yes, I am good and so does this place.” “The place is good but not you. You seem to be lost. Is everything okay?” I don’t get his words in a suitable manner, like he thinks I am a lost minded personality. “Nothing , just some shit happened with me.” I press my lips into a flat line. Light observes me but stays quiet, “Shit happens but we have to find a way out to clean the mess.” he states. “Yes! You are right but my life is fucked up. I can’t concentrate.” i want to explain him things further but i am nervous and anxious if he finds me stupid.

This is the new Luc I am seeing. Our car stops, and we get down to see a traditional Japanese building in black and white. James goes to the front, taking up some ticket printouts. Luc offers his hand, and I take it. We walk hand in hand towards the entrance of the building. Once we are inside, Luc and I alone go towards a staircase. James says that he will wait near the exit and left the place. We go down the stairs, and slowly the area is pitch dark. Luc makes me grab his shoulders from the back and starts walking. I can sense him walking with the help of a rope tied. Apart from the occasional blinking of air conditioners, no other light or sound is there.

commented Mei. “Wait!” "In the dark night I hid my secrets"

"It's too far from the café we're visiting later. I don't want to dash, that can get me another ticket." "It's in three hours, what are we gonna do in three hours?" Jai took a newspaper from the rack and leaned on the counter as he read it. Shoru scooted over to him and perched on his shoulder. Darrion shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe we can go to Haku's first? Get some breakfast?" Jai hummed. "Okay. The Day of Light is today and the Hot Springs... Blablabla... Discounts and discounts... Are you having a discount as well, Hinako?"
