My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 263: Fireworks Festival Limited, Tsukimi Sakurazawa!
Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Fireworks Festival Limited, Tsukimi Sakurazawa!
For the next few days, the Black Hearted Lolita was so angry that she ignored Shirakawa Sawahei, who enjoyed the peace and didn’t worry about the little loli’s mood. Occasionally, at home, he used the cute cosplay photos of the little loli to order around the freeloading girl to do chores, and life seemed quite leisurely.
"Ise Yu, the kitchen garbage is full, go dump it."
"What? I just dumped it yesterday... Why is it my turn again today? The agreed house chores time is clearly next week, this week I need to focus on completing my drafts so I can have fun at the fireworks festival..."
"Christmas exclusive Asano Nazuki, want to see?"
"I’ll do it, I live for the day to dump this garbage for Shirakawa... Wait for me, you promised I could take a look."
The obsessed Ise Yu joyfully went to dump the garbage, then eagerly returned home to admire the cute blow of the little loli on Shirakawa Sawahei’s phone.
"Ah~ I wish I could use this photo as wallpaper..."
"Look all you want, just don’t drool on my phone."
The freeloading girl wiped her mouth in annoyance: "I’m not drooling... By the way, Shirakawa, how did you get so many cute cosplay photos of Asano?"
"Do you know that you’re holding a fortune in your hands?"
Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at her: "Aside from you and your mom, who else would consider Asano’s selfies a fortune?"
"These aren’t just ordinary selfies... Anyway, they’re very precious... Shirakawa, why don’t you teach me how you got these photos."
"Trade secret, no comment."
"Tch~ boring..." The freeloading girl said discouragedly: "I’d rather go draw."
"Then draw."
"I’m drawing, I’m drawing (0%)"
A few days before the fireworks festival, Ise Yu began her miserable deadline-rushing life as a manga artist, while Shirakawa Sawahei leisurely brushed up on his acting skills and looked up information about the fireworks festival.
Having watched so many anime series, besides knowing this festival is for flirting, Shirakawa Sawahei had no other direct impression.
Oh, right, you can also see beautiful girls in yukata. That’s worth praising. You know, yukata are very convenient for pulling some maneuvers...
The time spent rushing drafts felt like years, and when the freeloading girl finally finished the first draft, it was already the afternoon of the fireworks festival day. She quickly ate something with Shirakawa Sawahei and then donned a yukata, starting to linger around Shirakawa Sawahei.
"Shirakawa... do I look good like this?"
"You look good, you look good... Shall we go? Don’t you only have one yukata?"
"Oh come on, Shirakawa, can’t you wait a bit? Going out as a girl is very time-consuming; outfit, hairstyle, and smile all need to reach the invincible beauty girl level."
"This is a war among girls, you’re a guy, you wouldn’t understand!"
"..."
Watching Ise Yu take selfies in front of the mirror for over ten minutes, Shirakawa Sawahei silently grabbed Ise Yu to head outside...
"Eh? Ah, wait! Shirakawa... let me have another look! Just one more look at my yukata outfit! This is a once-a-year opportunity... okay, okay, I’ll walk by myself, I’m about to fall..."
Riding the train all the way to the fireworks festival location, they saw from afar a riverbank illuminated with bright lights and teeming with people. Nearby was a bustling street food area; the atmosphere of the fireworks festival seemed to have brewed for a long time, and it wasn’t until people appeared in yukata that the lively and joyous vibe exploded, infecting all the attendees.
They agreed to meet near the station; Shirakawa Sawahei and the freeloading girl seemed to be a bit early, and among the six people, only the two of them were there. Ise Yu mumbled a few complaints about Shirakawa Sawahei being too fast, then used the advertisement board next to the station to continue admiring her yukata outfit.
"Shirakawa~"
A familiar call drew Shirakawa Sawahei’s attention. He looked to the side and saw Tsukimi Sakurazawa in a moonlight-colored yukata, walking gracefully. Because she was wearing geta, her steps were light and elegant, and her usual carefree demeanor was completely subdued with each step.
It was Shirakawa Sawahei’s first time seeing Tsukimi Sakurazawa in such traditional attire; he couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but the yukata on her had no sense of incongruity, as if she was a classic beauty walking out of an ink painting, serene and elegant.
The girl walked over slowly, her fair hands neatly placed in front, long hair flowing, with a gentle smile between her brows and eyes. The usually faint allure was somewhat diluted by the poised demeanor brought by the outfit. Seeing Shirakawa Sawahei and Ise Yu, she waved gently.
"Sorry for the wait."
The freeloading girl, seeing Tsukimi like this, stared in shock, looking her up and down several times, and stammered: "Sakurazawa... did you used to cosplay as a yukata beauty?"
"Why do I feel like our yukata styles don’t match at all?"
Shirakawa Sawahei secretly nodded; while Ise Yu looked good in a yukata, it was easy to feel that she didn’t quite match the ensemble. However, someone like Tsukimi Sakurazawa, who can wear traditional Japanese attire perfectly, was indeed rare.
"Hehe~ Of course, because I’m chosen by destiny~ Shirakawa... how do I look?"
"Mm."
Faced with the cutesy creature’s question, he nodded honestly: "Indeed, very pretty."
"Hmm? Shirakawa, you’ve been a lot more honest recently; if it was before, you would have denied it thrice in a tsundere way."
"..."
"I don’t remember reacting that way." Shirakawa Sawahei pouted: "This is my first time seeing you in a yukata, right?"
"Yes? Don’t worry, you can see it again next year..."
"Eh? Didn’t you and Sakurazawa see fireworks together last year, Shirakawa?"
"No, Shirakawa was busy with part-time work then, no time to go out and play," Tsukimi Sakurazawa said regretfully. "Last year, Xiao Mo didn’t dare to come to the fireworks festival... This year is much better."
"Oh~ I see... Then this year, we must have fun to our heart’s content!"
As they talked, the voice of the Little Invisible Study Girl, Tachibana Tomoku, sounded behind them, and everyone turned to see Tachibana and Yuri Hime and Azusa Ishihara appearing together.
"Hi... Hello everyone."
Sister Tachibana retracts her hand weakly; undoubtedly, her yukata outfit also attracted quite a few gazes. The freeloading girl and the cutesy creature went up in unison, acting as if they were going to touch the invisible girl like hooligans.
"Ah~ Tachibana, this is so cute... did you adjust the size yourself? It fits well!"
"Xiao Mo! You didn’t disappoint and wore this set out... I was worried you’d wear that other dark color one."
As for Ishihara Azusa’s yukata? Hmm, let’s not dwell on it...
Lastly, the Black Hearted Lolita appeared, getting off a special car from afar and began walking over. Shirakawa Sawahei spotted the little girl’s figure from a distance. It seemed she first looked around from a distance and, seeing that everyone had arrived, cautiously came forward.
"Uh... um... sorry, I’m late."
