At this moment, a memory that happened not long ago... which was not a good memory for Kinoshita Mai, flashed quickly in front of Kinoshita Mai's eyes.
That was a few days ago, at the celebration banquet to celebrate the victory over Genbukan. Seitou and Souji, who were sitting side by side, were talking and laughing, and their behavior was so intimate... While Kinoshita Mai Nao felt strangely uncomfortable, she couldn't help but recall Although I knew about its existence, I never thought about understanding its "many ways"...
Why are Qingto and Okita-kun here? Did they come to watch the fireworks display together?
Just as these questions filled Kinoshita Mai's mind at an alarming speed, Aomori and Souji in the distance had already walked away, and their figures were lost in the sea of people.
Hesitation, anxiety, confusion...these emotions were mixed together in a different kind of balance and spread across Kinoshita's face.
She hesitated for about 3 seconds——
Snap! Snap! Snap! Bang...
Going home or something... I can’t worry about that right now!
Kinoshita Mai, who was eager to prove something, turned resolutely, kicked the red clogs under her feet, and chased in the direction where Aoto and Souji disappeared.
Although I walked very fast and urgently, there were too many tourists on the road.
The dense flow of people formed a wall of people, hindering Kinoshita Mai.
In such an environment, no matter how fast the pace is, it is useless.
After finally arriving at the location where Qingto and Souji were just now...the two of them had gone somewhere else.
With a blank gaze, Kinoshita Mai looked around at the "people from the crowd" who had no longer seen Aoto and Kinoshita Mai.
Then, he chewed his teeth thoughtfully,
"Are you going in this direction...?"
While murmuring like this, she turned to the right...
…
…
——Who is that girl?
Sanako and Elodie have never met.
When Sanako saw this little girl walking beside Qingto, dressed in a weird outfit with a headscarf on her head and a mask on her face, Sanako felt quite strange.
She didn't remember Qingdeng having a sister of this age.
——Are they family members of friends? Distant relative? Or……
Sanako herself didn't notice: her face was slowly becoming weird...
When she came back to her senses, she found that her feet had begun to move forward automatically.
As she chased in the direction where Aoto appeared, she encountered the same situation as Mai Kinoshita - by the time she arrived at the location where Aoto and the girl in yellow were just now, they had no idea where they had gone.
Not only did they not find Aoto and the girl in yellow, they also didn't find Kinoshita Mai who was not far away from her - and Kinoshita Mai also didn't find Sanako.
What a coincidence.
Sanako not only had a brush with Aoto like Kinoshita Mai... but her subsequent actions were exactly the same as Kinoshita Mai's.
After only a moment of hesitation, Sanako looked around seriously, hugged the blue yukata in her arms tightly, and turned to the left...
…
…
"Wow... this crowd... Hey, you all have to keep up." Qingden turned to the people behind him and warned, "Be careful not to get scattered."
I don’t know if it’s because today is the last day of the fireworks display, so people who don’t want to leave any regrets this year are all flocking here... Anyway, there are so many people tonight, so many that it’s difficult to move.
"Walking" can no longer be used to describe Qingdeng's march.
It would be more appropriate to say "squirming".
If the flow of people in front moves forward a little, they should quickly follow; if the flow of people stops moving, they can only follow and remain motionless.
Just like that, he slowly "squirmed" forward while taking advantage of every opportunity.
If you look at it from above, this street... no, this block with Ryogoku Bridge as the center and a radius of several miles, looks like a huge kaleidoscope.
Tourists wearing colorful and various costumes are the fragments of flowers in this kaleidoscope.
The constantly moving and changing "flower scraps" together form a colorful world that is very different from the current chaotic world.
All the officials of the nearby own division were mobilized.
They carried long sticks and stood on both sides of the street to maintain order.
Thanks to the hard work of these officials, although the fireworks display was crowded, the atmosphere was still orderly and coordinated.
Elodie, who was barely around Qingden's waist, could easily be pushed to the ground in such a crowded environment by someone who "didn't notice there was a little guy in front of me."
For the sake of Elodie's safety, Qingdeng pondered for a moment with a thoughtful expression on his face, and then said:
"Elodie, it's easy for you to get knocked down like this, why don't you sit on my shoulder?"
"Huh? Is that okay?"
"sure."
Elodie, who was worried about whether this behavior of "treating Qingden as a mount" might be too rude, showed hesitation...
At this moment, Souji, who heard the conversation between Qingden and Elodie and noticed the hesitant look on Elodie's face, smiled slightly:
"Elodie, you don't need to worry too much about 'etiquette'. Do you think Jun Tachibana is the kind of person who cares about the minutiae of etiquette?"
Hearing what the Director-General said, the "fog" covering Elodie's little face gradually dissipated.
"Then...master, I'll trouble you."
Qingden Wan'er:
"Why are you so polite to me?"
After saying this, Qingden stretched out his arms, hugged Elodie's armpits, lifted Elodie over his head like a doll, and let Elodie sit astride him like a horse. on the neck.
Her eyesight suddenly lifted up, and she saw a scenery that she rarely had the opportunity to see - this seemed to make Elodie very happy.
The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and the excitement shining in his eyes became more and more dazzling.
And at this moment... Qingdeng had just reminded him to be careful and not to be scattered by the crowd.
result--
…
"Um?"
Hijikata was like a hound that found its prey, his eyes widened suddenly, and his handsome nose twitched hard.
I saw him looking straight at a young woman walking towards him five steps away to his right with unblinking eyes.
This young woman looks to be 18 or 9 years old. She is wearing a pink yukata, her hair is dark and shiny, tied into a Shimada bun, and her delicate features are lightly painted with pink and white.
This woman didn't have any companions around her, so she was roaming this street alone.
Hijikata stared straight at the woman's slender back as she receded, and then——
"...A Sheng."
"Um?"
After Kondo beside him turned around in confusion at being suddenly called out, Hijikata said to Kondo word by word with a solemn expression as if he was going to do something noble and great.
"You guys go and play slowly first. I'll excuse you for a while."
After saying that, without waiting for Kondo to respond, Hijikata spread his legs and chased the young woman.
"This lady!"
When she heard someone calling her from behind, the woman paused, then turned around slowly and elegantly.
Judging from the reaction shown by this woman at this moment... she seems to be particularly used to being approached by men on the street.
Her face was calm and calm, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth conveyed a complacency of "Oh, here comes another fool who is fascinated by my beauty"... But her calm and proud expression, He only persisted until he saw Hijikata's face.
The moment her eyes touched Hijikata's handsome face, which was completely different from the people around her, the woman's face instantly turned red, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were rippling and soft.
"Miss." Hijikata showed a very clean and hearty smile, "Are you alone?"
"Vegetarian, vegetarian... (yes)" The woman who accidentally ate a screw due to nervousness bowed her head shyly and hurriedly pushed back a few strands of hair hanging near her ears.
…
"Um?"
Harada raised his head suddenly and twitched his nose like a dog.
"What a delicious smell...where is it?! Where is the smell coming from?!"
Harada followed this alluring scent and moved his eyes inch by inch.
Finally, his eyes settled on a certain grilled squid stall.
…
"Well……"
This kind of environment where everyone rubs shoulders is extremely unfriendly to a petite and light person like Toudo Heisuke.
Not only is it easy to be squeezed or pushed away by tall people, but the view is also extremely poor.
Although he had tried his best to keep up with Qingdeng and the others, the thick flow of people still separated him from the rest of the army bit by bit...
…
"Come on! Come on! Don't miss it if you pass by! There is a wonderful sword show to watch! Next, I will throw the radish into the air, and then use my superb pulling skills just before it hits the ground. Cut it in half with sword skills!”
A down-and-out samurai who was dressed in extremely shabby clothes and was forced to earn a living by performing martial arts on the streets. He shouted hard to attract the audience. As a martial arts fanatic, Nagakura, after hearing that this man was going to perform a sword-drawing show, he immediately became interested. Interested, I stopped to watch.
After many people gathered around him, the fallen samurai casually threw a small carrot into the air. After it landed above his head, he cut the carrot into two with a very neat and beautiful sword drawing technique. Halfway through, the onlookers around saw this and applauded one after another.
"Oh..." Nagakura grinned, "Your kung fu is pretty good."
After looking at Nagakura happily, he turned his gaze back to the front.
However, my companions are no longer visible in front of me...
…
"Huh? Why are Toudou-kun and Harada-kun missing? Huh? Nagakura-kun is also missing."
Inoue's sudden exclamation caused Aomori, Souji and others to turn around and look back one by one.
"How come everyone is missing?" Souji asked in a daze.
Hijikata, who was the first to leave, at least said something to Kondo before he disappeared. Kondo later explained to everyone that "Hijikata has something to do and is leaving temporarily" - because there are still young people like Elodie. Young children were present, so it was inconvenient for Kondo to say bluntly, "Hijikata must also be seducing women."
Compared with Hijikata, Nagakura, Harada, and Toudou really disappeared without a trace...
"Where did those idiots go..." Qingdeng, who had just reminded everyone to be careful not to get separated, had a dark look on his face.
"It's really annoying..." Kondo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There's nothing I can do, I'll go find them."
"Ah, I'll go too." There were three missing people. Considering that Kondo might not be able to find them if only Kondo was asked to find them, Inoue took the initiative to raise his hand and offered to help Kondo.
Someone who has the same idea as Inoue is Saito.
"...I'll go too." Saito said calmly, "There are three missing people, so it would be more appropriate to send three people to look for them."
"Uncle Gen, Saito-kun, do you all want to come with me to find Nagakura-kun and the others? Okay, then - Tachibana-kun, Souji, you two take little Elodie to play around first. Let's The three of us are going to find those lost idiots. When the fireworks show is about to start, let’s meet at the east bridge entrance of Ryogoku Bridge.”
"Uh... Okay, I understand." Qingden nodded.
From Kondo's arrangement, it is not difficult to see that he is taking care of Elodie.
Nagakura and the others are missing... No matter whether it is emotion or reason, they cannot be ignored.
The only people who are familiar with Elodie are Qingto and Souji.
If Qingto and Souji were sent to find Nagakura and the others, the remaining people would not even know what to talk to Elodie about.
So from the perspective of "taking care of Elodie", Kondo's arrangement is quite reasonable.
…
…
After watching Kondo, Inoue and Saito set off to find the lost idiots, Aoto raised his head, looked at Elodie who was sitting astride his neck, and then looked at Souji next to him.
There was a huge group of people just now, but in the blink of an eye, only the three of them were left... This made Qingden feel helpless and funny at the same time.
"Let's go. After the fireworks show starts, we'll meet Mr. Kondo and the others at Ryogoku Bridge."
"Yes." Souji nodded lightly.
After walking forward for dozens of steps, Qingdeng and his party finally crossed this extremely crowded street.
After leaving this street, Qingdeng and the others felt "suddenly enlightened."
Although there are still a lot of people, they are no longer so crowded that you can only squirm forward.
Qingdeng glanced around - they seemed to have entered the "game area".
The stalls on both sides of the street are full of various game stalls.
"Elodi." Qingden looked up at Elodie, "Is there anything you want to play?"
"Uh...ah! I want to play with that!"
Elodie raised her hand and pointed to the left.
Qingden looked in the direction pointed by Elodie's finger.
Then my heart suddenly "thumped"...
The game stall that Elodie was referring to... was an arrow-throwing game stall with a very familiar appearance...
"Ah!" At this time, Souji answered with bright eyes, "I want to play that too! Let's go, let's play together!"
After finishing speaking, the general manager took the vanguard and trotted towards the arrow-throwing game stand.
"..." Qingden used a stiff expression as he repeatedly glanced at Souji, who had already rushed to the stall, and Elodie, who was smiling expectantly.
In such a situation, how could Qingdeng say, "Why don't we stop playing that?"...
Qingteng, who was riding a tiger and unable to get off, had no choice but to take a deep breath, move his slightly stiff feet, and bravely follow the footsteps of the commander-in-chief.
Director General: "Boss! How do you charge here!"
"Oh! One arrow, two cents! Whatever thing on the shelf you throw at it will return..."
The boss's words suddenly stopped.
Qingdeng: "..."
boss:"……"
After looking at the bald boss whom he had met the day before yesterday and yesterday, Qingden couldn't help but look away slightly...
The bald boss stared at Qingdeng for a moment with a dumbfounded expression.
Then, he turned his eyes and glanced around Qingdeng.
He didn't see the red figure that almost caused him a psychological shadow, and the blue figure whose temperament and manners were so graceful that she looked like a famous princess walking out of a storybook... I only saw a beautiful young man with an extremely cute appearance, and a girl from a famous family. Judging by her voice and body shape, she was a girl in yellow who was about 13 years old at most.
When he saw Souji, the bald boss could barely keep his composure.
But after seeing Elodie, he couldn't hold back any longer.
In an instant, the bald boss's expression changed rapidly.
He turned his gaze back to Qingdeng, and his expression changed from "dumbfounded" to... as if he had seen some strange-looking insect...
"Hmm?" The confused Souji asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you so stunned all of a sudden?"
"Uh...well, it's okay."
The bald boss showed his good professionalism.
His weird expression, as if he was looking at a bug, disappeared in an instant.
With a professional smile on his face again, he said enthusiastically:
"One arrow, two cents! Whatever thing on the shelf you throw at it, that thing will be yours! Master Samurai, do you want to give it a try?"
"Oh! It's quite cheap! Tachibana-kun, do you want to come and play too?"
"I don't have to..."
Qingdeng, who had already played this game twice in two days, found it hard to get interested in it again.
Moreover, I met the bald boss three times, and every time I met, the friends beside me were different... Such coincidences made Qingdeng feel inexplicably embarrassed, and Qingdeng really was not in the mood to play games.
Qingdeng felt: The bald boss must have misunderstood him...
But in the current environment, it was inconvenient for him to explain to his bald boss.
I can only silently bear the strange sight of my bald boss...
"Aren't you going to play? Okay then. Xiaodi, let's play just the two of us! How about we both play 10 arrows each first?"
Xiaodi - the nickname given to Elodie by the chief executive because he thought Elodie's name was a bit difficult to pronounce.
Elodie seems to like her nickname quite a bit.
"Yeah! Okay!" Elodie nodded vigorously.
"Boss, give me 20 arrows first!" The general manager put his hand into his arms, took out the money bag, and counted 40 copper coins from the money bag.
Elodie, who had made a date from Aoden's neck, stood side by side with Souji excitedly and scanned the shelf for the prize she wanted.
These two energetic girls are really a "perfect match" and a good partner - their throwing skills are so good that the bald boss beams with joy.
…
"Eh...that's weird..."
…
"...Hmm...Is there something wrong with the fletching of this arrow...? Ah, it hurts! Damn it! My hand was pricked by the fletching...!"
…
"Listen to me! Fly straight forward! I hate it! Why doesn't this arrow fly forward according to my instructions? Really...!"
…
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch -!"
…
After repeatedly missing his arrows, and until all his arrows were thrown, they only hit the air, Souji looked up to the sky and "roared" in a petty manner.
Elodie on the side is in a similar situation——
…
"Ah... I almost hit it..."
…
"It missed again... What a pity, it was just a little bit close..."
…
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...There are only 3 arrows left..."
…
"Ah, how annoying! The wind has picked up again, and the arrow has been deflected by the wind again...!"
…
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch -!"
…
I don't know if she was infected by Souji, but Elodie also let out an unwilling "roar".
When Qingdeng saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. The embarrassment that had arisen again due to the reunion with the bald boss dissipated a lot - although the two little ones were screaming "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch", there was no odor on their bodies. express any negative emotions.
What is there and only is the desire to win the game and the joy of being fully immersed in the game.
"Boss! We want to play 20 more arrows!" Souji shouted.
…
In the end, Souji and Elodie still didn't get a single prize.
But they both don't care about such trivial matters anymore.
The two girls just wanted to play a game and didn't necessarily want a prize on the shelf. After having a great time playing, their attention was attracted by another game stall not far away.
"Ah! Mr. Okita! Look, that stall seems to be good for catching small fish!"
"Fishing small fish? Let's go and have a look!"
Souji and Elodie happily rushed to the stall offering "fishing games".
——It seems that I didn’t have a chance to explain to the bald boss... Forget it, just let him misunderstand... It’s not a big deal. He doesn’t seem to know who I am, so he probably won’t spread the word “Nioh is an everyday person” There are strange rumors like "Aquaman who goes out with different women every night"...
After comforting himself in his heart, Qingden quickly caught up with the director and Elodie under the strange gaze of the bald boss.
There were no new customers at the moment and the bald boss, who happened to be free, watched Qingdeng go all the way.
After confirming that Qingdeng was gone, he let out a sigh of relief:
"This man is really fierce... Male, female, old, young, all can... not picky... Who is he? Forget it, never mind, he should be the same in the future anyway. There’s no chance to see you again, right?”
…
…
Infected by the festive atmosphere, Elodie, who completely let go of her airs, walked around every game stall and food stall accompanied by Aomori and Souji.
In front of almost every game stall, Elodie and Souji were seen playing.
The joy brought by playing games and eating delicious food turned into a brighter light in the eyes of the two girls and a brighter smile on their cheeks.
Before you know it, it’s almost time for tonight’s fireworks show to start.
Aoto, Souji, and Elodie, who sat back on his neck, quickly rushed to the meeting place they had just agreed with Kondo: the east bridge entrance of Ryogoku Bridge.
Elodie, who was young and whose physical strength was not comparable to that of a young man like Souji, had obvious fatigue and tiredness on her face after having a good time.
However, the highlight of the night: the fireworks had not yet been seen, and Elodie, who did not want to leave any regrets tonight, tried her best to keep her eyes open and keep her spirits up.
The closer you get to Ryogoku Bridge, the more tourists there are, making it harder to move forward.
Although the journey was difficult, we finally arrived at our destination smoothly.
"Huh? Where are Brother Kondo and the others..."
The general manager stood on tiptoes, placed his flat palms on his eyebrows, and looked around.
"Aren't they here yet... The fireworks show is about to start..."
There are still about 5 minutes until the first fireworks of the night will light up the night sky.
"They should still be on their way here..." Qingdeng said, "There is nothing we can do, just wait for them here."
"Well... I hope they're not lost..."
"..."
"..."
After Souji finished speaking, she and Qingto, who couldn't find anything to talk about, fell silent.
However, the silence only lasted for less than half a minute, and ended with a hesitant rhetorical question from the Director-General.
"Tachibana-kun...are you in a bad mood tonight?"
"Huh? No." Qing Teng looked at the general manager who suddenly asked him such a question in a confused way, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly ask me this?"
The director-general pondered for a moment and said:
"I always feel like you seem to have no interest in any game or food tonight... It's basically just me and Xiaodi who have been playing, and you haven't participated much."
Hearing these words from the Chief, Elodie was startled, then quickly lowered her head, casting a questioning look at Qingden just like the Chief did.
"Uh...this..."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qingdeng's eyes.
Why do you always look like you are not interested in anything tonight?
The reason is quite simple.
Because basically the games I want to play and the food I want to eat have been played and eaten with Mai Kinoshita and Sanako in the past two days...
Qingdeng once thought about telling the truth to the two girls, but this idea was abandoned as soon as it surfaced.
joke……! Qingden didn't want anyone to know that he had enjoyed the fireworks display with Mai Kinoshita and Sanako two days ago.
Although from a legal point of view, Qingdeng's behavior of "accompanying a girl for two days" is blameless.
After all, he has nothing happened to Kinoshita Mai and Sanako, and has not established any formal special relationship. It is reasonable to hang out with friends.
However, from an ethical point of view... Qingden had to admit that he felt a little guilty...
Currently, he and Kinoshita Mai both have a good impression of each other - there is no doubt about this.
Qingto still regards Sanako as his important friend - but after experiencing so many things with Sanako... especially last night when he witnessed Sanako forced herself to come to thank him repeatedly in shame. Behind the scenes, Aoto had to admit that his current feelings for Sanako could no longer be simply described as "friendship."
Let’s put aside the feelings of the two women towards Aoto, let’s just talk about Aoto himself: despite having special feelings for both Kinoshita Mai and Sanako, he still has such an intimate relationship with the two women “equally”... If this kind of thing spreads, I'm afraid most people will look at Qingdeng in a strange way.
Before "reason" has begun to operate, "instinct" first sends out a fierce signal - Qingto's "instinct" is frantically telling... no, it is warning him: don't let anyone... especially don't let Kinoshita Mai and Sa That kid knew what he did two nights ago, otherwise this would be quite bad.
Qingden pondered, thinking about how to fool the Souji's question.
Just at this time……
What happened next was completely beyond Qingdeng’s expectation——
"Ah, Qingdeng, I finally found you!"
The familiar and beautiful female voice sounded from behind Yu Qingdeng.
Qingdeng was startled at first.
Then a look of shock filled his entire face in the blink of an eye.
Slowly turning his neck that suddenly became extremely stiff, he looked behind him - a beautiful red figure was struggling to move through the narrow gaps in the crowd.
The person who came was none other than Kinoshita Mai, who had been looking for them everywhere since she met Qingto and others.
The venue for the fireworks display is not small, and groups of tourists are surrounded by mountains and seas. Although finding people here cannot be said to be like finding a needle in a haystack, it can also be said to be extremely difficult.
But Kinoshita Mai was not depressed or discouraged. After running around and persevering, she finally saw the tall figure she was looking for again.
This time, Kinoshita Mai did not miss Elodie due to her visual angle - after all, Elodie was straddling Qingden's neck at this time, and anyone who was not blind could spot Elodie.
Even though Elodie was wearing a mask and her hair was wrapped, her slender back that was so familiar to Mai Kinoshita could not be hidden.
Kinoshita Mai thought to herself, "Is it possible?" while secretly speeding up her pace.
Finally - after passing through one human wall after another, she finally arrived in front of Qingdeng and others.
"Miss Dancing?" Elodie was the first to exclaim in surprise.
"Ah, it is indeed Ai..."
Kinoshita Mai subconsciously wanted to call out Elodie's full name.
But she quickly realized that it was inappropriate to shout Elodie's real name in such a public place, so she quickly stopped and asked in an excited tone:
"Why are you here with Qingdeng?"
Compared to the secret joy on Kinoshita Mai's face... the expression on Qingto's face seemed particularly "charming".
Why is Ah Wu here? Was it a chance encounter? How could it be such a coincidence...
He was shocked, but Qingdeng was still calm.
It should just be an ordinary encounter... Fortunately, Ms. Sanako is not here now...
Qingdeng just had this thought in his mind——
"...Tachibana-kun."
Another extremely familiar female voice...
Coming from the other direction.
At this moment, Qingdeng felt like a heavy stone was hanging from his heart, and his body seemed to be pulled downwards by this huge stone.
He looked up in disbelief - the figure of a certain Yamato Nadeshiko walking towards him calmly came into his eyes.
What a coincidence.
Sanako, who bumped into Aoto at almost the same time as Mai Kinoshita, and then looked for Aoto everywhere like Mai Kinoshita, finally found Aoto here almost in no particular order.
Sanako's beautiful eyes were seen, glancing back and forth at Souji and Kinoshita Mai next to Ayoto, her eyes flickering slightly with confusion.
"M-Miss Sanako..." Qingden laughed, "Why are you here...?"
"I... wanted to come here to buy something, and then I ran into you just now. I wanted to say hello to you briefly, so I followed you."
After explaining in a concise and concise manner why he was suddenly here, Sanako changed the subject with a calm expression.
"Tachibana-kun, who is the girl on your shoulder?"
"..." Qingden glanced at Sanako on his left, and then at Mai Kinoshita on his right.
At this moment, Qingdeng could only feel that something was boiling in his heart...
As if he was facing some indescribable powerful enemy, goosebumps appeared one after another on Qingdeng's skin.
If you keep behaving strangely, you will arouse suspicion... Qingden took a deep breath and relied on his strong willpower to barely maintain his composure.
"Uh...it's like this-"
Aoto briefly summarized the reasons why he was here with Souji and Elodie, and at the same time explained to Sanako who the girl on his shoulder was.
"So that's it..." Sanako nodded lightly.
Although Qingto's disciple Sanako knew her, he had never seen her before, so he subconsciously forgot about her existence.
The small "dark cloud" that gathered between Sanako's eyebrows slowly dissipated.
The cloud on his face dissipated, and there was Kinoshita Mai.
"Oh! It turns out that you are all the guys from the Trial Guard Hall, coming out to play together tonight!"
Kinoshita Mai looked relieved.
After experiencing a brief period of shock and panic, Qingdeng gradually regained his composure.
--so far so good……
Qingdeng thought to himself.
——Although I met Amai and Miss Sanako at the same time...but as long as I am careful, what I did two nights ago should not be exposed...
Just when Qingdeng was comforting himself——
Woo-pop!
The first fireworks of the night went up.
The beautiful scenery of fiery trees and silver flowers unfolds slowly under the moonlight like a scroll.
"Wow!" Elodie shouted excitedly as the long-awaited fireworks show finally arrived.
At this moment, attracted by the fireworks, neither Aoto, Mai Kinoshita, nor Sanako could care about anything else. A man and four women looked up at the night sky that was colorfully rendered by the fireworks.
Even though he had watched the fireworks for two nights in a row, the beauty of the moment when the fireworks exploded still touched Qingden's heart a little bit again.
Everyone was silent, with faint smiles on their faces, and quietly raised their heads to watch.
"Qingdeng! I feel like tonight's fireworks are a bit more brilliant than the ones the two of us watched the day before yesterday!"
Then this peace was suddenly broken by the unintentional words of Mai Kinoshita, who was smiling happily.
