It had been a few months since Eliza had become a full Japanese woman in body, mind, and spirit. She’d woken up in Japan and thanks to that magic sushi shop being in her past it seemed as though her life had finally settled into a new existence. It took a while for her to decide but enrolment in a university was her top priority. She was in the midst of taking numerous writing and reading classes where she studied Japanese literature but the study of these new stories wasn’t top priority. Relearning English was and English came to her so easily that it was like she hadn’t forgotten it in the first place. She was learning it from the ground up and it would never be as ingrained in her mind as Japanese now was but she was fine with that. It was honestly just a personal preference, a small reminder to herself that she had once been a completely different woman.
Her momey and car had transferred over but no one needed to know she had wealth to her name. She was currently boarding in the university with several other Girls who no longer sounded accented to her. It was the American accents that threw her off now. Just as strange as Japanese ones had been long before.
She honestly just wanted a degree, she had the money to put herself through university for as long as she wanted struggle free so she had time. It was more about pursuing her interests now, finding something she enjoyed rather than just having a job thrust upon her by a dying parent. She would chew on pens when her projects were long behind her, completed as soon as possible rather than waiting for the last minute. Her roommates would talk about how she was so dedicated and how they wished they had her work ethic but it was honestly just habit to Eliza after working a high stress job for years. Getting an essay done in three weeks with research was easy compared to a multimillion dollar deal needed to be completed in twenty five minutes or the company would sink.
Eliza thought back to her childhood and the way she would tell her brother’s stories. Maybe she could do something with that. The sky was the limit. But in all honesty that could wait as the current day was wednesday and she was dressed up in semiformal wear. She watched out the window of the dorm and after a few minutes a car pulled up. It wasn’t very nice and the windows were rolled down because the air conditioning didn’t work but it brought a smile to Eliza’s face. She grabbed her jacket and purse before heading out the door and opening the passenger door of the car. She slipped into it and leaned over the middle planting a kiss firmly on Haru’s lips that he returned passionately. They then drove off into the night with a brand new song playing over the radio. She smiled as they wound down the streets and Haru talked about his classes. They didn’t have to travel far before they found the nearby restaraunt that offered discounts to students. They walked in and were seated quickly. Strange western music playing over the speakers that Eliza recognized. The waiter came over after a few minutes and took their order. Eliza simply ordered Dragon Rolls, they were her favourite after all.
