Capítulo 166: Scattered
"Wow... There are so many people!"
Yotsuba tiptoed, looking at the crowd in the plaza.
"After all, this is the most extravagant fireworks festival in recent years, so there must be a lot of people." Nino said and pulled Miku who was walking slowly behind, "Too slow! We're too far away, we have to watch the fireworks so they don't go to waste."
"Nino is too worried..." Miku said with slumped shoulders, "If it weren't for everyone, I definitely wouldn't want to step into a place like this... Just wait for the fireworks to go off..."
"I know you don't like crowds, so be patient a bit today~" Ichika hugged Miku's arm smiling, "It's a rare festival, as long as we go shopping it's fine!"
"Everyone, are you sure your phone has a battery?" Itsuki checked her rope pocket, and handed the map to the four of them like a note.
"With a crowd like this, it's too difficult for the five of us to go shopping together. If possible, we can split into two or three groups, and we can take care of each other. We'll be gathering on Nino's rented balcony before the fireworks start at 8:30..."
"Also, keep in touch anytime, and get in touch as soon as you get your order. There is a rough division of areas on the map, which should be used as a reference for meeting up…"
The four of them stood at the side, listening to her carefully explain various precautions and how to deal with accidents. After a while, Nino finally grew impatient, and reached out to stop her.
"Stop! This isn't our first time at the festival, can you stop nagging like that guy? You are like an old woman…"
"I'm not an old woman!" Itsuki retorted angrily, then took out the notebook in her pocket, puffed out her chest, and said confidently, "Asada-kun said that a necessary condition for having fun is calm, if you want to be calm, you have to prevent all accidents from happening, so be prepared. first is very important!"
Nino rolled her eyes: "Okay, okay, what he said is right, so stop talking nonsense, and hurry up. If you were a bit slower, maybe a certain super delicious meat bun restaurant would be sold out? "
"This..." Itsuki was about to say something, but hesitated for a moment. After smelling a faint scent from a distance, she nodded vigorously, "Okay, let's go!"
Yotsuba also raised her arms high, her excitement and anticipation beyond words.
"Oh~ I must have had fun today!"
In this way, the three of them led the way to the festival, while Ichika and Miku were slightly behind.
"How? Did he reply?"
Ichika looked at Miku's phone screen with interest.
"Seeing you in a yukata, he must be really excited to print that photo and hang it on the wall to admire?"
"Shinichi won't do that!" Miku blushed, then closed the chat interface where no words appeared, "… He's probably resting, after all, it picture is there, it doesn't matter when he sees it."
"Rarely do you take the initiative to ask me to take a photo wearing a yukata, but he didn't appreciate it at the first time... Huh!" Ichika sighed, "What a man who doesn't know how to appreciate~"
"That's way too exaggerated..." Miku continued to move forward, but Ichika unintentionally slowed down.
Then, she quietly took out her cell phone and clicked on the private chat screen with Shinichi.
"He hasn't seen my photo..." Ichika looked at the photo she sent not long ago, but there was still no "read" next to it, and muttered regretfully.
Like Miku, Ichika's yukata photos were not seen by anyone.
"Maybe he's resting or busy? I really wonder how he will react after seeing it…"
A small smile appeared on her face, and her mood jumped for some reason. Ichika was about to type a few words to see if Shinichi would find the message, but Miku in front of her suddenly showed signs of turning her head.
She quickly threw the phone back into her pocket and walked briskly.
"What is wrong?"
"It's okay~"
On the surface she was smiling peacefully, but Ichika was guilty inside.
(Isn't it nice to send a picture of myself to the guy my sister likes... Even though I've done it twice already.)
(But... If it's just casual chatter, like teasing a casual friend, it should be within the limits of what's allowed, right?)
(As long as I don't chase him, as long as I don't say I like him… Miku probably won't care too much, right?)
Moreover, as long as it is not found!
Ichika found reasons to justify her actions, as if the ropes that were wrapped around my body were slightly released, her smile was very relaxed, and her bright eyes looked at the scenery of the temple that was getting closer and closer.
Faintly heard a specially tuned ringtone coming from the strap pocket, but she didn't seem to notice it at all, letting the phone ring again.
...
Shinichi did feel the vibration of the message coming from his cellphone, but he really didn't have time to look at it now.
He didn't know what was going on, but after their group reached the middle of the shrine square, the surrounding area started to become lively, and the pushing of the crowd became more and more intense, squeezing towards them like dough.
Seeing that the six people were about to be forced apart in this chaotic crowd, Shirogane hugged Kaguya by the shoulders, and shouted at the four of them.
"From now on, we can only shop separately! Try not to be alone, it's safer to go together in a group! Wait until 8:20 p.m. to gather outside the shrine square! If you have something to do, pay attention to the group notification!"
After speaking, he and Kaguya were engulfed by the crowd. Shinichi could only see Shirogane struggling to protect Kaguya with his body, preventing her from being pushed, and Kaguya's expression resting on his chest, so happy that she almost fainted.
Iino who was behind her tried to stand up straight in the urge, but she was not flexible enough to hold the pile of food in her hand. It didn't take long for her to be pushed back in panic.
Ishigami who was barely able to move forward, saw the sight out of the corner of his eye, and turned and rushed towards the crowd, desperately approaching Iino.
Shinichi could only see that Ishigami was struggling to grab Iino's arm, and the two of them were enveloped by the surging crowd in the next moment, and they disappeared.
Four members of the six person team disappeared at once, avoiding the crowd behind them, Shinichi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"I hate places with lots of people..."
Even though this situation was expected by him, Shinichi unexpectedly enjoyed going to the festival with everyone, feeling a bit disappointed now.
The good news is that at least someone will accompany him to finish this very packed festival.
He turned his head reluctantly, and a girl with pink hair and a beautiful figure wearing a yukata was staring ahead, muttering something in her mouth, stomping her feet, and her figure swayed.
"One, two, three... two, two, three..."
Counting the beats, Chika completely dodged one person, two people, three people... The graceful figure was like a dance, avoiding the surrounding crowd very lightly.
Even though she was wearing clogs, Chika's footsteps were as agile as if she were wearing ballet flats. Even though the crowd was so lively, they didn't even touch the hem of her clothes, her body dancing to the beat.
"Three, two, three... four, two, three... And spin!"
Why go round and round? !
Just as Shinichi was about to complain, an arm came out from the side, and almost touched Chika's body, but she avoided it with a mysterious circle, and took two or three steps in succession, easily avoiding the next collision from behind.
But also because of this, she grew further away from Shinichi, and it didn't take long for her dancing in the crowd to fade away.
"...Wow, as expected of Fujiwara Senpai."
Shinichi realized that he didn't need to act with Chika at all. Among this crowd of people, he would rather be wandering around alone?
Now, as expected, he was alone because of the crowd around him.
"Forget it, that's all."
Following the flow of people, Shinichi also started wandering around aimlessly, preparing to slowly walk out of the plaza, then contemplating whether to watch the fireworks with the Student Council members and the others, or return early pretending to be unwell.
