"I told you, aiming for the grand prize is pointless."
"One more ti!"
"Give it up."
"No way! Asuka wants that one!"
Just then, the couple next to them finished their fortieth shot.
The boyfriend nad Nagashima awkwardly scratched his head: "There’s sothing wrong with this gun, I can’t aim at all."
"You’re just not paying attention to , that’s why you can’t hit!"
"How could I..."
"You’re so good at shooting in gas usually!"
"...Uh, it’s very different from a ga!"
"I think you have soone else! Tell , is it that woman nad Chiyoda? I saw you having dinner with her last week!"
"...That’s my cousin!"
"Just how many cousins do you have—"
Seeing that the couple next door was about to get into a fight, Fujiwara Reya quickly bent down to pick up a small stone and said to Kasahara Asuka: "Give the gun."
"That one!" Kasahara Asuka continued pointing at the exquisite gift box on the highest shelf.
"Alright!"
Fujiwara Reya weighed the air rifle in his hands; it had so heft to it.
He walked to the shooting booth and raised the gun to aim.
Kasahara Asuka suddenly snuck into his arms.
"...What are you doing?"
"Asuka wants to do it herself."
"...Okay." Fujiwara Reya had no choice but to let go.
"No, Senpai can’t leave." Kasahara Asuka hooked her finger around the trigger, "Hold Asuka and help pull the trigger."
"..."
"Oh, by the way," Kasahara Asuka seed to rember soone and blushed as she looked at Hoshimi Rinko, "Senpai won’t be jealous, right? After all, Senpai’s a jerk, Senpai wouldn’t be interested in him, right, right?"
Little brat... Hoshimi Rinko turned her gaze coldly away.
There’s no way she’d do such a thing in public, so she could only curse this pair of shaless people while sulking.
Fujiwara Reya bent down, inhaling the scent of the junior’s hair, placing one hand over hers on the trigger.
"Hey, hey..." Kasahara Asuka leaned her face towards his ear, "Senpai."
"What?"
"If you can get that prize..."
"Don’t talk to now."
"Asuka will go to your room tonight."
"Bang—"
The cork made a perfect arc, hitting the box tied with a ribbon, but the box just swayed twice and didn’t fall. A subsequent stone hit it, finally knocking it off the shelf with a bang.
"Yay!"
Kasahara Asuka jumped up and down, cheering loudly.
Who knows if she’s happy about getting the prize or happy about going to Senpai’s room tonight.
How did such a heavy waterlon get knocked down... The stall owner was a bit puzzled, but didn’t argue, and handed the box to Fujiwara Reya: "Boy, you’re lucky, this waterlon is yours."
"?"
Fujiwara Reya opened it to see, and his face instantly turned greener than the waterlon rind.
"Fujiwara," Hoshimi Rinko covered her mouth, chuckling softly, "go ahead and eat, we’re waiting for you."
"Uncle, can you help us cut it?" Kasahara Asuka also joined in teasing the senpai.
"You guys..." Fujiwara Reya now felt nauseous at the re sight of a waterlon, let alone eating such a big one.
"I’ll cut it for you."
The stall owner cheerfully picked up a knife to slice the waterlon.
This large waterlon cost at least 5,000 or 6,000 yen, and these three kids only bought 10 shots, which was just 2,000 yen, so it seed like a loss. But the stall owner was in a good mood because these three were so attractive, they attracted a lot of onlookers. Besides, the couple next door arguing contributed 8,000 yen in revenue; overall, it was not a loss.
After the waterlon was cut, Fujiwara Reya ate until he nearly wanted to vomit, only then did the two ladies let him off, sharing the waterlon with the nearby kids.
They continued walking forward.
A playful Kasahara Asuka used 10,000 yen to buy a bottle of bubble water from a girl passing by.
"Senpai, doesn’t this look beautiful!" she puckered her lips, blowing into the straw.
Bubbles reflecting the light of lanterns floated into the night sky. The children passing by with their parents cheered at the sight of the bubbles. The junior, already a bit childish, beca even happier, with bubbles of varying sizes shimring and popping in the night sky like a dream.
"This seems to be the mindset for a sumr festival," Fujiwara Reya couldn’t help but smile.
Hoshimi Rinko watched the lively and adorable Kasahara Asuka and, after a while, let out a slight "mm."
Kasahara Asuka suddenly leaned over and blew the bubbles onto her face.
"Ah, stop it!" Hoshimi Rinko quickly fled, but Kasahara Asuka chased after her, constantly blowing bubbles onto her.
"Don’t run too far, we have to go up the mountain to et the abbot!" Fujiwara Reya called out, leisurely following behind the two girls.
The sumr night festival.
The dense sumr atmosphere dissolved into the air.
The sll of soy sauce filled the nose, the calls of stall owners to attract custors, the sound of cicadas from afar. Everyone’s faces bore smiles, children ran past, and the hoarse shouts of adults echoed behind.
Under the bright lantern light, Fujiwara Reya paused.
He furrowed his brows slightly, raised a hand to wipe his cheek, and his fingers were covered in a crimson, viscous liquid. This is... blood!
Sothing happened!
His face instantly darkened.
Fujiwara Reya turned around, looking into the crowd.
Under the sky full of lanterns, all he could hear was the cacophonous noise; everyone he saw was speaking and laughing loudly, exchanging joyful glances.
The lively sumr festival seed unaffected.
At the edge of his vision, a few bodyguard-like figures were mixed in the crowd, appearing both vigilant and searching for sothing.
"Watch out—" Fujiwara Reya suddenly shouted.
The next second.
A bloom of blood appeared abruptly...
