Features: Under a large chestnut tree, there was an old wooden bench placed on the ground. The back of the bench leaned against the tree trunk, with the paint slightly peeling off, revealing the traces of time's passage. Under the scorching sun, the lush chestnut tree acted as a natural umbrella, casting a slight breeze and making one appreciate the thoughtful intention of the person who placed the bench. Kimotoichi and Misaki Misaki arrived under the chestnut tree.
"Isn't it cool, Aichi?" Misaki wiped the sweat from her forehead with a white handkerchief as she exclaimed.
"It is," Kimotoichi said, then glanced at his watch. The outdoor watch's thermometer showed 38 degrees Celsius. However, despite the surrounding area being like a blazing inferno, staying under the tree felt as cool as being in a bank's waiting room.
