Volume 5 Chapter 46 Third Day Of The Souten Festival
The Souten Festival was showing an unprecedented excitement. And for good reason. Today is the third day of the Souten Festival, the final day of the festival. Even though the university students were spending their time with high tension day and night, this day had a greater excitement than that.
It's like the tension after an all-nighter.
However, the reason is not only that.
The members of the literature club were also feeling restless.
It was because of the Night Parade that the crew cut guy was talking about. A sweet and heartburning pink space.
"Everyone seems unsettled today."
When Lisha, who had the love experience level of a kindergarten child, ran into me while she was getting cake, she whispered to me. If even Lisha noticed, it must be quite something.
Yes, the third day of the Souten Festival has a Night Parade.
They open up a large stadium, play music, and have a dance party. There are no specific rules, but it's customary for most people to participate with their significant other.
In short, inviting someone to this Night Parade means that.
Anyway, when we took a break earlier, the president gave herself a cheer, saying "Go for it, Akari! Fight, Akari!" She seems to be worried about the surprise attack from Rindou, who came out while she was blinded by money. Well, it's too bad.
By the way, it was me who reported about Rindou. After all, it seemed like fun.
Everyone is feeling restless, but I can't say anything about others. Today is the promised day.
It's been half a year since we broke up, and it's been a long time since I talked to Tsukiko properly, so I made an appointment with her for the first time in a while.
'I... I don't want you to get hurt anymore.'
However, I still haven't found the answer to those words.
Nevertheless, there is something I needs to talk about. I need to tell her something I has been hiding, because she is important to me.
And at that moment, she was already getting closer.

The promised place was off the street where many food stalls were set up.
Tsukiko prefers quieter places than lively ones.
She might not hate this atmosphere of the cultural festival, but she's probably tired by the third day.
Above all, she looked better in this place.
"Yuusuke"
"――"
Tsukiko, wearing a black Hakama with pale pink petals scattered on it, was like a firework blooming in the night sky.
Oh no. Lisha, Kanami, and Hinata looked good in Hakama too, and they were beautiful. But Tsukiko was different.
It was the first time I had seen her up close like this, but it wasn't just a matter of it fitting her well. I thought this appearance was the real her.
She's really into it. By the way, she was wearing hakama during the battle as well. I wonder if she's used to wearing them regularly.
"Your hakama. It's beautiful."
"Yes, thank you."
She smiled faintly.
What's up? It's been a while since I've seen Tsukiko smile so naturally like this. And isn't that the last time before we break up?
"So, what are we going to do today? Is there somewhere you want to go?"
Since Tsukiko called me, I didn't ask what we were going to do later. There must be some reason why she called me, but there's no need to talk about it here.
"Well, let's take a walk for a bit."
"Oh, okay."
We started walking without any particular destination in mind.
