“……..I saw her go up there. You should go quickly.”
I heard Sera’s words, expressed my gratitude, and struggled to climb the steep stone steps that seemed to rise to the skies.
Then I spotted Ayaka standing in front of the main shrine building on high ground.
Ayaka looked down from the high ground and saw me coming up the stone steps with surprised eyes.
I ran up the stone steps when I saw Ayaka’s figure.
At the top of the stone steps, Ayaka and I finally met.
When Ayaka met me, she tried to say something to me, but no words came out, so I opened both arms as if to say, “Come here.”
Ayaka jumped into the middle of it.
I held Ayaka in my arms as she almost fell down the stairs, and as the fireworks went off, I just hugged her.
“Where are you going? I was seriously worried about you.”
“…….”
“I’m sorry I took my eyes off you, too.”
Boom! Boom!
“Fireworks are beautiful.”
“Yeah.”
Seeing the fireworks in the sky, we exchanged such casual comments.
Ayaka had the number 100 on her forehead, but I didn’t worry about that.
Speaking of which, Ayaka and I have often looked at the night sky together.
Even when we first met, we were both looking ……
“The moon is even more beautiful tonight”
As I was thinking that, Ayaka suddenly said something like that.
“Eh….the moon today…”
The moon today is neither full nor is it floating beautifully without a single cloud.
But now I understand the meaning of what I couldn’t understand at that time.
“I think so. The moon has been beautiful for a long time.”
No other words were needed.
After that, we watched the fireworks for a while.
“Later, let’s go back to the food stands.”
“I want a candy grape.”
“Hmm? Candy grapes? I thought I bought some…”
I looked at the hand I was supposed to be holding, but it was Ayaka’s hand alone.
“Ah..! S-sorry…. I must have dropped it while I was looking for Ayaka.”
“Eh? that.”
“…Did you want to eat it that badly?”
“Yes.”
Ayaka looked so sad, and I said,
“Right, then…can you just stick with this?”
Then I kissed Ayaka on the mouth.
Chuu
“How’s that? Candy-flavored kisses.”
“Delicious.”
We just quietly watched the fireworks.
The fireworks reached their finale, and after the night sky was filled with silence, an announcement came over the speakers attached to the shrine
[Today’s fireworks display has ended.]
At the same time as the announcement, spectators who had been enjoying the fireworks at the shrine’s main shrine come down one after another.
Seeing this, I quickly grabbed Ayaka’s hand and held it tight.
Ayaka looked at me with a surprised face as she suddenly held my hand.
I blushed as I spoke to Ayaka.
“I don’t want us to get separated again… and these stone steps are too steep and dangerous…”
Ayaka nodded quietly at my words.
“Yes.”
Then I slowly walked down the stone steps, holding Ayaka’s hand.
