"So in the end, you two still came to the bonfire party..."
"Well, I don't know why Chisa suddenly agreed to be my dance partner, so I couldn't really refuse~"
"Aina too..."
Looking at Iori, who was stuffing a chicken leg into his mouth and eating madly, Miyazawa Yuu tossed him a packet of tissues in annoyance and reminded him, "You're about to go on stage, stop eating! Aren't you afraid Chisa will kill you with a look of disgust because of your oily hands?"
"To be honest, I'm already used to it. I'm actually a little unaccustomed to not being looked at like that after all this time!"
"Waa~ You're a total masochist."
Although he said that, Iori Kitahara still scurried off to find a place to wash his hands.
Gazing at the already lit bonfire, Kohei Imamura observed Aina from the corner of his eye for a long time, then found something to say, asking, "Yuu, what are you going to do when it's time to dance? Split yourself into two?"
"Regarding this question..."
His expression instantly became serious. It is well known that in the world, there is either a solo dance or a partner dance. In any case, there is absolutely no option for three people together.
Miyazawa Yuu had thought about this for a long time, and the final result was...
Taking out his phone from his underwear, he flashed a blindingly white smile and boasted, "I found a friend to help me. They managed to rush out a dance that can accommodate both Nanaka-nee and Azusa-senpai overnight!"
...
"Waa..."
At the same time, in the Kaguya family villa far away in Tokyo, Ai Hayasaka was soaking herself in the bathwater with a lack of highlight in her eyes, feeling depressed.
That bastard from the Miyazawa family actually urgently asked her for... a dance that three people could do together!
This kind of thing that violates social public order and morals—she had to ask countless people to get it. Next time, she must make that guy compensate her...
"Haya! Saka! Ah!!!"
Footsteps pounded closer. Kaguya Shinomiya, wearing only pajamas, pulled open the glass door of the large bathhouse with a 'shuala' sound and wailed, "I can't log into the President's space at all!"
"Huh?"
Her eyes were so angry that one was bigger than the other. Ai Hayasaka only had time to grab a bath towel before being forcibly dragged away.
...
"All in all, solve your own problem, Kohei. I'm busy enough here, I can't help you!"
"..."
Yuu's last sentence echoed in his ears. Kohei Imamura felt his head was about to explode for no reason.
It was just Aina asking him to dance together to thank him. In the end, there's nothing to worry about! Just a mere cakey...
"Kohei, shall we go dance?"
Looking at the girl walking towards him, this was the first time in his life Kohei Imamura had truly been troubled by a woman.
But worrying is useless. Although the current situation is complicated, as long as Aina is happy, the future things will be left to time to decide!
"Yes!"
"I'm all washed up, all washed up~"
Wiping his hands and running back from the restroom, Iori Kitahara saw from afar that the spot where they were drinking earlier was now empty. Only Chisa was left, looking up at the night sky, deep in thought.
"What's wrong, Chisa? Where are Yuu and Kohei?"
"Thanks to you, everyone has already started celebrating..."
Cupping her chin, Chisa Kotegawa sighed helplessly. Her bright eyes were filled with Nanaka-nee, Azusa-senpai, and Aina moving through the crowd.
Dancing under the moonlight? Although it still couldn't compare to diving, it really touched the girl's heart. It was incredibly desirable!
If only she didn't have a dance partner with terrible time awareness who was also giggling foolishly!
"Let's go together. This is the only chance! Be careful not to step on my feet~"
"Yoshi! Let's do it!"
"Why does that sound like you're going to work..."
Neither Iori nor Chisa knew any dances. Their so-called partner dance looked more like random flailing, but the atmosphere was set, so the actual steps didn't matter.
"Everyone!!!"
Standing on the high platform not far away, even though she was angered into fainting and her heart was still a little uncomfortable, the shrine maiden braced herself and put on her cumbersome attire, praying, "Thank you all for attending the Sakura Fire Festival! May the Divine Sakura-sama wish all dancing couples to grow old together hand in hand!"
"Huh?" X2
Excluding Miyazawa Yuu's group, the remaining four members of the Pab club surrounding the bonfire froze in place, then incredulously turned their heads to look at the high platform.
At this moment, the shrine maiden had already brought over an ice-sealed sack and began scattering the late-blooming cherry blossoms collected several months ago in batches.
The fire burning the well-hydrated petals would not cause a safety issue. On the contrary, the flying pink cherry blossoms made even a blind person feel that the atmosphere seemed a little... romantic?
"Chotto Matte!"
"Although this broken shrine is indeed said to be relatively accurate in fortune-telling for romance..."
"But we didn't expect this kind of arrangement, did we?"
Temporarily separating from Azusa-senpai and Nanaka-nee, Miyazawa Yuu put his arms around the shoulders of the two fools, his unethical smile growing more rampant.
"Wait! The tone of your voice!"
"You knew all along?"
"That's why you need to do your research before traveling! I heard people say that the couples who dance at the bonfire party here will stay together forever~!"
The utterly wicked Miyazawa Yuu let out a terrifying 'Jie-jie-jie' laugh and ran back to find his girlfriends, leaving only four members of the Pab club with widened pupils, who looked like they had been gone for a while.
"Forever..."
"Together..."
With their eyes full of fear, Chisa Kotegawa and Aina Yoshiwara simultaneously looked up and let out sharp screams: "Yuu, you bastard!!!"
"Hmm? Did someone just compliment me on being handsome?"
After the deed is done, you brush off your clothes and hide your merits and fame. Miyazawa Yuu felt that doing a good deed every day was great, and he would dare to do it again!
...
That night, because they had a flight the next morning, the Pab club did not stay until the end of the festival.
Arriving at the pre-booked hotel, Iori, Kohei, Chisa, and the others found their rooms like zombies and immediately collapsed into bed, clearly needing time for their psychological trauma to heal.
As for Miyazawa Yuu's room...
"Wait, Azusa, this outfit isn't the one from last time..."
"You can't! At least you first, then me..."
"Together is absolutely no good! Wuwuwu... even if you say that..."
Shamefully looking at the fabric Azusa Hamaoka held out, Nanaka Kotegawa then glanced at the bathroom door where the sound of running water could be heard, and could only whisper a mournful sigh as she consciously put it on.
"Huuhaa~ That was refreshing. Dancing next to a bonfire on a hot day is tough work~"
Wiping his hair, Miyazawa Yuu pushed the door open. His vision suddenly plunged into darkness. He could only barely make out the two silhouettes in the room by the dim yellow light of the bathroom.
"Azusa-senpai, why did you turn off the light? I'll turn it on..."
"Don't turn it on!!!"
His hand paused in mid-air. Hearing the clearly trembling voice near his ear, Miyazawa Yuu looked suspiciously at the outline closest to him in the darkness. Judging by the bust and long hair, it was definitely Nanaka-nee.
"Um, Nanaka-nee?"
"Yuu~ Turn off the bathroom light too..."
"No problem, I guess..."
With a click, the room was plunged into absolute darkness. The thick curtains and carpet blocked any possibility of light seeping through the doors and windows.
Unfamiliar with the hotel's layout, Miyazawa Yuu had to grope his way towards the bed in the complete darkness, trying to figure out what was happening.
However, the hand that was guiding him along the edge of the bed soon came into contact with a large area of firm skin, and...
"Ying—!"
No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any trace of cloth. Based on his understanding of Nanaka-nee's figure, Miyazawa Yuu's brain quickly started working, constructing the corresponding model in the darkness.
"Nanaka-nee?"
"I'm wearing the bikini we used last time... Azusa brought it and said it was quite expensive, and it would be a shame not to use it..."
"Yay~"
Waving a peace sign in the darkness, even with Azusa Hamaoka's easygoing personality, she still felt a little scared at this moment.
"Um... If you like it, please don't tear it. After all, I quite like it too~"
"Azusa insisted on doing it together. I was originally thinking of talking about it when we got back..."
"Azusa-senpai..."
His voice was deep. Miyazawa Yuu interrupted Nanaka Kotegawa's flustered explanation, and in the darkness, he accurately pressed down on Azusa Hamaoka's shoulder.
"Wha-what is it? Does Yuu prefer to take us one by one?"
"No! Only at this moment, only at this moment!!!"
Tears burst from his eyes. Miyazawa Yuu was so moved that his voice choked with emotion as he loudly thanked her, "I truly feel that you have bestowed a great favor upon me!!!"
"Hmm~ So Yuu is very satisfied then?"
Although her boyfriend was as abstract as ever, Azusa Hamaoka's wildly beating heart slowly stabilized, and her little devil personality quickly regained the upper hand.
"If that's the case, I'll leave the rest to you. You have to work hard!"
She lifted the latter's chin. The next second, she was subjected to a sudden attack. Nanaka Kotegawa naturally couldn't sit by and watch her best friend suffer, and the battle quickly became incredibly intense.
Tonight, three people cannot sleep!
