When I arrived at the venue of the summer festival, as I expected, there were many people there, but the venue was large and there were many food stalls.
Then, Nanahoshi said in a loud voice
“Toiro san! I want some of that candy apples!”
“Okay, let’s line up.”
As she suggested, I got in line at a nearby candy apple stall to buy some apple candy… After a while, I said something.
“People are staring at me so badly…Is it because I’m with Nanahoshi?”
When I said exactly what I was thinking, her cheeks turned red and she said in surprise.
“!? No, that’s not true!”
“I don’t think so, but I’m pretty sure that not only the people in line …… but also the people walking down the street are glancing in our direction.”
“That’s not me, they’re looking at you, Toiro-san! Toiro san, you’re so cool!”
In this crowd of people, it’s unlikely that I’ll attract any more attention than when I’m wearing a yukata with Nanahoshi, a popular model with an appearance that’s not just for show.
“They’re probably looking at Nanahoshi because she’s wearing a beautiful yukata, not me.”
“No, it’s not! No! Everyone is attracted by the cool figure of Toiro san!”
As we were talking to each other, before we knew it, the people in front of us in line had disappeared and it was our turn to go, and the owner of the candy apple store spoke to us.
“Welcome, well~! You are so youthful, praising each other so openly!~”
“Youth ……?”
I didn’t quite understand what he meant, but Nanahoshi seemed to understand, and for some reason she waved her hands in panic and said
“W-we’re not like that!”
H”aha, so which size do you want, small, medium, or large?”
“Well, I’m going to go with medium…Toiro san?”
“I’ll have a medium.”
After we paid, the owner handed us each a medium sized candy apple.
“Enjoy the festival, you two couples, you cute girl and cool onii chan~!!”
“C-Couple……! W-We are not a couple!”
Since Nanahoshi and I are not a couple, Nanahoshi said so in a loud voice to the shopkeeper.
Then, with the shopkeeper’s cheerful laughter in the background, we walked around the summer festival site, holding hands with one hand and candy apples with the other, and stopped at a spot where there were few people.
Then Nanahoshi said.
“Haa. …… I got all weird and hot-faced.”
“Are you okay?”
I said to Nanahoshi, who looked somewhat red-faced and tired, and Nanahoshi said in a cheerful manner.
“I-‘ll be fine! More importantly, let’s eat candy apples!”
“Yes, I suppose so.”
I was a little worried about Nanahoshi’s behavior, but I thought I might not be able to enjoy myself if I paid too much attention, so I decided to eat apple candy with Nanahoshi for now.
◇Nanahoshi’s side◇
The two of them started to eat the candy apples together at her suggestion,……, but her mind wasn’t on the candy apples at the moment.
────When we swam, we held hands, but holding hands normally like this is completely different…! I mean, we’re still holding hands even though we’re eating candy apples! ? I was so focused on my hands that I couldn’t concentrate on the taste at all! Also, Toiro san just said I was so beautiful, and he said we were a couple…Ah~! Mouu! If I think about this, I won’t be able to concentrate on the summer festival!
As Nanahoshi shook her head and tried desperately to shake off the thoughts that were now floating in her head, Kirima said
“Candy apples, I haven’t had many before, but now that I’ve tried them, they’re delicious.”
“Y-Yes, it is!”
After nodding, Nanahoshi looks at Kirimaa again.
────Toiro-san holding a candy apple ……cute~! Haaaa, cool and cute, that’s the strongest, I like him~!
Nanahoshi looked at Kirima holding a candy apple for a little while, then suddenly remembered the confession she was going to make later and said in relation to the incident just a few minutes ago.
“W-Well, I was surprised that the shopkeeper just now called us a couple!~”
“Maybe it’s not surprising that a man and a woman would look like that if they were alone together.”
“Y-Yes, that’s right!~”
Normally, she would have ended the conversation here, but Nanahoshi decided to be brave and ask something a little more in-depth.
“What did you feel when you were told that Toiro-san was a couple with …… me?”
