59. Summer Festival (2)

59. Summer Festival (2)

“Hmm-…”

Today was a summer festival day.

Yes, in the original work, that Oh Sana Najimi loses her comrades and then reunites them, yes! Thank you! It’s the day of the festival where the forced touching story takes place.

“Shujinkou-kun, let’s leave in a little while at 6 o’clock.”

“Yes.”

From noble mtl dot com

And I planned to go to the festival.

But I had no intention of intervening in the incident.

My reason for going was just to enjoy the fireworks and festivals, as every year, not to stop Oh Sana Najimi from grieving the loss of her comrades.

What should I do to help? What is pretty

While thinking that, Iinazuke, who had changed into a yukata before he knew it, said.

“Let’s go now, Shujinko-kun.”

“Yes.”

I was going to go to the festival with Iinazuke.

Actually, he and I have been going to the festival together every year since we were young, so it was only natural for him and me to go to the festival together at some point.

Since I lived next door, since I was 8 years old, I’ve been doing this every year, so it’s been 9 years.

It was a really long time.

Perhaps this question might arise here.

I wonder if I would have seen other characters if I had been to that festival every year since I was young.

From the conclusion, it was really like that.

I discovered various characters, such as Sakura Morish*ta, who came with her sister and mother at the age of 8, Toyoda and Osana Najimi at the age of 10, and Yuna Sasaki, who was walking alone at the age of 11. It could have been

For this reason, I had to be careful not to pretend to know them by mistake, glad to see them every time I saw them in the original work.

Um…

Come to think of it, I went there once even when I was 7 years old… At that time, I remember that I saved a girl with yellow hair who had lost her party.

At that time, instead of Nazuke Ii, I went with her parents, so after waiting for a long time with her parents, I was able to find her guardian.

Well, I can’t even remember his face now. Still, it happened shortly after I saved Iinazuke, so it was still vaguely lingering in my memory.

While thinking that, Iinazuke, who had been looking at me for a while, asked.

“What are you thinking, Shujinko?”

She asks me, tilting her head. I let out a sigh for a moment and gave her an appropriate answer.

“It just reminded me of a kid I saw when I was little.”

“When you were young?”

“Oh, back when I was 7 years old, after you rescued me, I also helped another girl.”

“A girl?”

“…”

Isn’t it normal to ask what happened here?

What question…

“Yeah, what… Is that so? Anyway, I suddenly remembered that I had saved that girl at the time when there was a festival. So I was thinking about it for a while.”

“Hey-… Well, because I was young.”

“…? What the hell are you talking about?”

“Um, nothing at all, Shujinkoo-kun. Anyway, does the yukata look good on you?”

“…”

She suddenly turns her back on her words.

To her question, I gave an honest answer.

“Just like that.”

“Hey, by any chance Shujinko-kun notices or doesn’t know that it’s a white lie?”

“…?”

And I had to be beaten by him all the way to the festival.

***

It was because of Annie’s buff that we arrived at the festival after traveling for about 30 minutes.

At the sight of the festival, which was noisier and more crowded than ever before, after exclaiming for a while, they started walking around the place.

Fireworks were still far away, so there should have been plenty of time to experience, eat, and enjoy this and that.

How long has it been since you started wandering around and enjoying this and that?

As expected, I happened to find Morish*ta midway through, but I was uncomfortable with her, so I clenched her teeth and pretended not to know her.

And again, time passed, and this time we stopped by a stall to catch goldfish and found Sasaki Yuna.

She came wearing a yukata and she was holding her goldfish hard by herself. Nazuke Ii and I approached her and greeted her.

“I see you here, Sasaki-san.”

“Nice to meet you~ Sasaki-chan.”

“Ah, hello, Ms. Shujinko.”

However, after receiving my greetings, she completely ignores Nazuke Ii’s greetings.

I saw Ii Nazuke just in case, but even though her greetings were ignored, she was still smiling.

Then she tilted her head as if something was wrong with my gaze.

It may be that his original personality doesn’t care about things like that, but…

In my experience, if I were like that, judging by her personality, who would have poured all the f*ck out, she probably would have endured it to no small extent.

Nevertheless, the unchanging naturalness of the face… I wonder if that’s what a professional is.

…Or, it could be that I’m just mad at what I’m doing. Honestly, there’s not a small chance of that, probably.

“…”

Okay, let’s catch a goldfish.

And after a while, after catching her goldfish, we said goodbye to her, who was still holding her goldfish, and moved on.

People start to move as they wander around and play again. It looks like the fireworks are about to start.

I Inazuke and I also started moving along with the crowd to go to a place where the fireworks could be seen clearly.

And it was just then.

Chin-

Someone grabbed me by the sleeve.

“…?”

I wondered what was going on and looked back and saw Osana Najimi.

Bewildered by the sudden situation, while I was thinking about what was going on, Iinazuke next to me, who had also found Osana Najimi, asked.

“Oh, Najimi-chan came too. But why..?”

Iinazuke’s question followed by her urgent appearance. Osana Najimi answered that question.

“Actually, I came with Haruta-kun and Haruta-kun’s younger sister, Hina-chan… Oh! The reason I came with Haruta-kun wasn’t because they had a special relationship, but because they were close childhood friends! Don’t misunderstand me?”

“…”

What do you mean?

“Anyway, that’s why I came here… I was being pushed by the crowds, and I noticed before I knew it, and it seemed like I had separated from the Harutas…”

And then she thought of her own situation, and she lowered her head. However, she soon spoke again with a brightened face.

“Well, then Haruta-kun is lost… Can’t we just do it together like this…?”

Seeing that appearance, I said with a straight face.

“No, I don’t like it.”

Whoever wants.

“Ugh! I didn’t say it because I specifically wanted to see you! It was because I wanted to see Iinazuke-chan! What about Iinazuke-chan?!”

“Hey…”

Inazuke pondered for a while at her question. However, she said with an awkward smile that soon showed her sorry.

“Najimi-chan, I’m sorry, but if Shujinko-kun doesn’t work, I can’t help it either…”

“Eh..?!”

Osana Najimi looks disappointed at Iinazuke’s words, as if she’s very disappointed.

In the end, realizing that she needed my permission, she started looking at me again with earnest eyes.

Looks like a puppy that has lost its mother.

“…”

Ha…

In the end, I was moved by her gaze…

“Goodbye.”

Once again, the order to celebrate guests was issued.

Instead, this time he smiled and even shook her hand.

No matter how you think about it, I think I’m too kind.

Then, despair began to appear on Osana Najimi’s face.

The life in her eyes is gradually disappearing.

And how long did it last? Nazuke Ii, who had been staring at her like that, said.

“Shujinkou-kun, since Najimi-chan is so sad, why don’t we find Toyoda’s party?”

I wonder if Osana Najimi looked pitiful, even at her words that ooze concern, I shook my head once more and expressed my intention to refuse.

“What are you doing? Find it on your own.”

And then I felt the trembling of my sleeves. I checked to see what was going on, and saw that Osana Najimi’s hand, which was holding my sleeve, was shaking.

“…”

Unlike before, she doesn’t look at her desperately, just lowers her head and looks at her land.

I just couldn’t understand why he reacted like that with something like this.

I wonder if he was expecting a fireworks display with Toyoda in his own way, just like in the original work. But if that’s the case, what else did you ask to see us?

…I don’t know what it is, but I thought I could understand the feelings she was feeling, albeit a little.

“Shujinkou-kun, I’m sure you’re looking for those children too, so you’ll find them soon. Huh?”

“…”

In the end, I nodded at Inazuke’s request. …Find it as soon as possible.

“…Instead, for the next week, live a good life without cravings.”

And now that it’s like this, I need to take care of even the smallest gains.

“I’ve never been there, and I’m already living a good life… But I got it for now, Shujinko-kun.”

She shamelessly comes out to my words and at the same time says she knows.

“Yes.”

It was a de facto approval.

After deciding to help her, we decided to meet again at a shrine near her in 20 minutes, and then set out to find the other group each day.

And as I was looking so far away, it wasn’t long before someone grabbed me by the sleeve.

Someone tried it, and this time it was also Osana Najimi.

I asked her what was going on.

“Dah, I don’t really want to go with you, but I’m afraid I’ll get lost if I go alone…”

“…”

Her nonsensical bullsh*t came out, and after I scolded her for finding her toyoda quickly, I started looking for her toyoda again.
