The contestants exchanged surprised glances, a murmur of curiosity rippling through the group. The director while looking at all of them started, "Osaka is a city filled with vibrant culture, delicious food, and incredible sights. It's the perfect backdrop to help you get to know each other better. We'll be exploring its streets, tasting its cuisine, and experiencing its unique charm."
Mem-Cho and Yuki exchanged sly grins and subtly started their hilarious signalling routine to boost Akane's confidence in her pursuit of Hiroshi. Mem-Cho mimicked a cupid aiming an arrow at Hiroshi while Yuki, with exaggerated enthusiasm, pretended to chew an imaginary piece of gum, then blew an enormous bubble, signalling Akane to "go big."
Their comedic charades caught Akane's attention, and she couldn't help but burst into giggles. Taking their playful encouragement to heart, she decided she was ready to give it her all.
The director continued, "Remember, you are here to make connections and enjoy the journey. If at any point you feel like you'd like to separate and explore Osaka on your own, that's absolutely fine. But keep in mind that our cameras will be following you with breaks in mind, respecting your privacy and personal moments. So, go out there, have fun, and let your genuine connections shine!"
Nobuyuki exclaimed, "I'm absolutely pumped for this adventure! Osaka, here I come, ready to soak up every bit of culture and excitement!"
Aqua chimed in, "Well, I have to admit, this is going to be pretty tiring, but I'm up for the challenge. Let's make the most of it and see where this journey takes us!"
As the group dispersed to explore Osaka's vibrant streets, Akane watched her fellow contestants head in different directions, each driven by their own sense of adventure. She felt a surge of excitement mixed with a touch of anxiety as she scanned the bustling surroundings, searching for Hiroshi.
Amidst the colourful chaos of the city, Akane struggled to spot Hiroshi's familiar face in the crowd.
As Akane anxiously scanned the bustling surroundings, her heart racing, she suddenly felt a warm hand gently grasp her own from behind. Startled, she turned around, her eyes widening in surprise. There, standing before her with a bright, confident smile, was Hiroshi.
His voice, filled with excitement, broke through the lively city sounds as he said, "Akane, are you ready for a big adventure, just the two of us?" His eyes sparkled with anticipation as he held her hand, a world of possibilities unfolding before them.
As Akane locked eyes with Hiroshi and felt the warmth of his hand in hers, she couldn't help but notice the presence of the cameramen capturing this unexpected moment. A subtle smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and she turned her gaze towards the cameras.
With a newfound confidence and a sparkle in her eyes, Akane said, "I'm ready for it, Hiroshi. Let's make this adventure unforgettable." Her words were filled with excitement, and she knew that this journey, with the world watching, was about to take an unexpected turn.
As Akane and Hiroshi walked alongside each other through the bustling streets of Osaka, she couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. With a playful smile, she turned to Hiroshi and asked, "So, Hiroshi, where are we heading first on this adventure?"
Hiroshi, always one to add a touch of humour to the moment, chuckled and replied, "Well, Akane, I thought we'd start with a tour of every vending machine in Osaka! Just kidding!" He winked at her, his eyes filled with mischief.
Akane laughed at his joke and then eagerly awaited his answer. Hiroshi's playful demeanour made her feel at ease.
With a more serious tone, Hiroshi continued, "Actually, our first stop is Osaka Castle Park. It's a beautiful place with a rich history, and I thought it would be a great spot to begin our adventure. Plus, there's a lot to explore there, from the majestic castle to the serene gardens. It's the perfect place to soak up some culture and enjoy the scenery."
