After getting off the train, follow the crowd and merge onto the road to the Sumida River.

The twilight of dusk passes, replaced by the endless blue sky.

In such an atmosphere, the air does not seem dull. The street lights on the city streets turn on early, and all kinds of bright and gorgeous neon lights illuminate the people walking on the streets in warm colors.

At this moment, people are gradually gathering to participate in the fireworks festival. It is the most popular time. The police are on the road to maintain order. Sakakibara and his mother are walking here, and there are already people coming and going.

At the corner near the festival and temple fair, at the intersection of traffic lights, a girl stood tall and graceful. She was wearing a white dress, and her flaxen hair was tied up in a hairpin. She turned her head slightly, her silver hair ornaments

It also emits beautiful light.

"That's Kuruuri, right? At first glance, I thought it was Nanami Mingzuki, but when I saw the white bathrobe, I knew it was her." Mrs. Sakakibara said to Sakakibara with a smile, and then asked softly, "Today

When choosing clothes, she specifically told me to choose white, Ale, do you understand what she meant?"

"Is there a sign? I feel like I've gotten to know her a lot in the past ten days...but I still feel like there's something missing."

"Absolutely, well, little girls have a lot on their minds. Today I saw Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue put on some light makeup when they went out. I think Jiu Liuli put on makeup for you, A Le."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense."

Sakakibara Raku and his mother gradually approached Amami Kururi who was waiting there.

The closer he got, the more Sakakihara Raku could notice how exquisitely Kuruuri was dressed today.

Her sky-blue eyes were filled with the light of lights.

Looking from Sakakihara Raku's perspective towards the street corner, the city's flashing lights seemed to outline her cheeks. The lines on her profile were made more hazy by the lights, illuminating her surroundings vaguely. For a moment, she

Just like the coquettish and beautiful fireflies flying in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Looking at her like this, seeing her beauty with careful make-up, many thoughts came to mind in an instant.

For example, did she dress up like this on purpose for someone? Did she wear a white yukata because she told her that she liked white? Did she put up her beautiful hair for herself and decorate herself with beautiful hairpins?

......

Looking forward from the street, many, many thoughts came to my mind.

Obviously some things can be inferred and determined based on common sense, and Jiu Liuli himself has made it clear, but Sakakihara Raku is just not sure in his heart, and he doesn't dare to believe it.

Because the hazy layer of gauze between the two people seems to have not been broken.

"Did Kuruuri dress up like this just for you today?" Mrs. Sakakihara glanced at the girl in front of her who didn't notice the two of them, and asked with a smile.

"I... don't know."

Rather than saying that I don’t know, it’s better to say that I don’t dare to confirm.

I was obviously looking forward to it, but when I saw her beauty from a distance, my heart palpitated, and I lost a third of the courage to face her.

This is probably the feeling of liking...

Just looking at it from a distance makes my heart unable to calm down for a long time.

The noise of the crowd and the scene of the police signaling everyone to enter in an orderly manner...Under this situation, the time when both feet are on the ground seems to be stretched...

The white yukata is embellished with elegant white lilies, with varying shades of light purple and light yellow, and the bright red sash is embellished with simple patterns, all giving it a cool feeling in summer.

When Sakakibara arrived in front of Amami Kuruuri, he discovered that she had a bouquet of wisteria flowers pinned to the side of her hair. The colorful bouquet of wisteria flowers ran along her hair and matched perfectly with her clean face without any flaws.

.

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was dressed like this, tilted her head slightly, smiled at him and asked:

"Brother is very handsome today."

"Okay, okay."

Tianhai Jiuliuli keenly observed that he was looking at her, so he smiled generously and said: "Brother, do you think this dress looks good?"

With this movement, her hair and wisteria flowers moved, and the light behind her made the petals and hair shine brightly.

Moreover, the clothes are really white.

"I feel like I'm short of words, so I can only give nice answers..." Sakakihara wanted to avoid her gaze and started looking for topics, "By the way, Qi Mingyue and Aling are here, aren't you two together?"

"They went to book a yacht over there on the lawn."

"Are you planning to watch the fireworks on the river?"

"Well, there are so many people on the Sumida River every year that the lawn barely takes up any space, and only some good spots are left on the river."

As Amami Kuruuri said, he looked at the black yukata on Sakakihara Raku, and then smiled and said: "Brother is really handsome today."

"It's okay, but if you say so, I'm very happy."

"No, I'm serious."

Mrs. Sakakibara was naturally happy to see this harmonious scene in front of these two children.

My son, who has always been outgoing, actually becomes embarrassed in front of Jiuliuli.

She couldn't help but smile in her heart, the child had indeed grown up.

"It's better to go meet Qi Mingyue and the others. They will be anxious if they can't see anyone."

......

Uncle Tianhai, Qi Mingyue and A Ling were waiting at the entrance of the temple fair by the Sumida River.

Because of the fireworks display, the place became lively early, with passers-by wearing yukata, stalls selling snacks on the roadside, and vendors selling various entertainment and games.

"Brother!"

Suzu Sakakihara was the first to see Raku Sakakibara. She looked over the crowd and saw the familiar face, then stood on tiptoes and waved to him quickly.

There were not many people wearing yukata at the temple fair. As soon as the lively girl raised her hand, Sakakihara Raku realized that it was his sister.

After getting closer, she came up, circled around Sakakihara Raku and said:

"Hmm~~Brother's clothes are quite good today!"

"I think you can use the word 'handsome' to describe it." Raku Sakakihara smiled.

"But if I praise you for being handsome, brother, I won't get any reward."

"I'll treat you to takoyaki later."

Sakakihara Suzu immediately stood up straight, with her back straight like a soldier, and said seriously:

"Brother, he is the most handsome!"

This made Jiuliuli laugh.

Ah Ling can be regarded as the king of support outside.

According to Sakakibara Raku's impression, although Suzu is a bit arrogant, she will not lose her face outside.,

Sakakihara Raku also discovered that today's Nanami Nanami had her hair tied up, and she and Kuriuri had a symmetrical silver hairpin, a black yukata embellished with elegant flowers.

While maintaining her own proud temperament, her face is also very beautiful.

She found herself looking towards her, and said calmly: "Brother, if you want to praise me, you don't need to say more, I know it in my heart."

Really narcissistic.

After a few people gathered together, they started hanging out at the temple fair before today's fireworks festival.

Eating, visiting the garden, chatting, all in this thick temple fair, I was very happy.

At this moment, Mrs. Sakakibara suddenly said, "There seems to be some kind of food stall in front. I can't see clearly. What is it?"

Raku Sakakihara glanced over there, thinking that his mother was just asking an ordinary question, so he answered normally, "It seems to be Tornado Potatoes, a fried snack like potato chips."

"Snack?!"

Sakakihara Suzu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she raised her hands actively like a rabbit, "I want to go, I want to go!"

Hearing that there were potato chips, Tianhai Qimingyue also attracted his attention.

Mrs. Sakakibara: "Then let's go."

Raku Sakakihara kept up with the others, but his mother turned around and gave him a hint halfway.

That waving gesture was more than just a hint, it was an explicit statement!

Sakakibara suppressed the throbbing in his heart and glanced sideways at the shining silver hairpin of Tenkai Kuruuri beside him. He encouraged himself a little in his heart and pressed tightly against her. Then the moment he stopped, he suddenly

He held her hand.

......

Gentle and soft.

Very comfortable and indescribably satisfying.

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was walking, was obviously stunned for a moment. The moment she turned back, flowers and hair were outlining her beauty like in a scroll.

Although Sakakihara was very greedy for the comfort conveyed by her small hands, he did not dare to hold them for long. He said seriously: "Well... how about we go shopping alone?"

"Not with everyone?"

"No, Jiuliuli, you should understand what I mean, right?"
