Chapter 279: 124. Summer Festival, Watermelon, Danger Approaching..._2

When they ordered drinks, their accent made it obvious they’re bumpkins from Kansai.

The shop owner delivered their drinks and then returned to chat with Fujiwara Reya.

Compared to the beautiful young girls, he found the boy who could chat about bonsai with him even more interesting. Upon learning that Fujiwara Reya was waiting for two companions, he generously offered two cups of milk tea.

"Thanks, uncle," Fujiwara Reya accepted it without hesitation.

"Haha, no problem," the shop owner laughed heartily and simply, "You should come more often. Although Minami-Izu Town doesn’t have much to offer, the scenery and the people are nice, and if you like these camellias, I’ll give you two pots."

"How could that work..." Fujiwara Reya quickly shook his head, "I’m going on a date later, and I can’t let two girls each carry a camellia pot, can I?"

"Haha."

Just then, a few girls next to them finished their cold drinks and ran out in a hurry.

"It’s really lively this year, so many people from other places have come..." the shop owner said with emotion as he watched the girls in kimonos, "I’ve lived here for decades, and this is the first time I’ve seen such a scene."

Out of professional curiosity, Fujiwara Reya asked, "Is there something special this year?"

"I’m not quite sure," the shop owner shook his head, thought for a moment, and then uncertainly replied, "I heard from the monk at the temple that a female merchant from Tochigi County came to purchase something, and the temple’s revenue has increased significantly this year, which is why they could hold such a large-scale festival. It’s surely not going to be this lively next year, the place is small after all..."

A female merchant from Tochigi County came to a temple in Minami-Izu to purchase things?

Purchase what?

Purchase monks?

Fujiwara Reya found it a bit strange and planned to ask the monk about it when he went up the mountain later.

The sky was gradually getting darker.

The summer evening mist was drifting, and the sea was calm.

The lanterns on both sides of the street lit up, one after another, extending uninterrupted to the ancient temple at the top of the mountain.

During the boring waiting period, a mother and daughter walked by the roadside, and a curious five or six-year-old girl looked around with interest. There was a grilled corn stall by the roadside, and probably attracted by the aroma, the little girl ran to the grill stall, tiptoed, and reached out to grab the corn.

Her height was not enough, so she could only touch the edge of the grill.

"Wow!"

The little girl cried out directly from being scalded.

"Whose child is this..." The stall owner rushed over to check, accidentally tripping the grill, which headed straight for the little girl’s head.

"Watch out!"

"Ah!" a woman shouted, covering her face with her hands.

Many people cried out simultaneously.

Fujiwara Reya, hearing the sound, just turned his head.

A wave of divine power surged up, supporting the falling grill, making the three or four petrified people come to their senses and rush to right the grill. The little girl clung tightly to her terrified and pale-faced mother, crying loudly.

"So lucky, so very lucky!" someone said, "If it had hit down, she would have been disfigured."

The grill stall owner continuously apologized to the girl and her mother, asking if they were hurt and if they needed to go to the hospital. The mother was stunned for quite a while before regaining her senses and started crying as well.

In the midst of the commotion, Fujiwara Reya noticed a girl with faint blue light still swirling around her fingertips. She was the lead dancer in the earlier dance performance, with a bunch of camellias, gifted by the cold drink shop’s owner, tucked into her hairdo.

A girl with divine power...

The small-scale chaos quickly subsided.

The girl and her companions continued to have fun, while Fujiwara Reya withdrew his gaze and looked up.

A flock of birds was hopping from lantern to electric wire, bustling about.

At first, he thought they were sparrows, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were three yellow-browed buntings mixed among them.

The three yellow-browed buntings were relatively well-behaved, seldom flying around, unlike the restless sparrows. Their movements also reflected their personality differences: the yellow-browed buntings were so quiet as if they wouldn’t move at all, while the sparrows hopped around restlessly, making the lanterns sway incessantly, just like the difference between a senior girl and a junior girl.

"Senpai, the senior is mine tonight."

"What do you mean, yours?"

"Anyway, you’re not allowed to follow us!"

"Why?"

"Because you’re a loser, and a loser should know their place!"

"Tch."

"Asuka’s warning to you, if you dare to follow us, I’ll kiss the senior in front of you."

"..." Fujiwara Reya looked at the birds for a long time, thinking: are the sparrows and yellow-browed buntings arguing?

"Ah, senior——"

Kasahara Asuka was the first to spot him, clattering towards him.

At this moment, she had changed into a summer festival yukata.

The light pink background was adorned with white peonies and golden butterflies, the obi was a lively pink, exuding a retro and playful aura overall.

Fujiwara Reya stepped forward: "Here’s your milk tea."

"Hehe~" Kasahara Asuka cradled the milk tea but didn’t drink it. Instead, she fixedly gazed at her senior.

He was also dressed in a kimono, with a white background and deep blue vertical stripes, the pattern slightly plain but it fit just right. Paired with a navy blue obi, he gave off a very refined and handsome vibe, a perfect handsome guy.

"Yay!"

Kasahara Asuka squealed in excitement.

Following that, she opened her arms and naturally fell forward.

"..." Fujiwara Reya instinctively caught her.

A burst of sweet citrus fragrance invaded his nostrils, and a certain softness pressed against him, the touch indescribably pleasant.

"Senior, can you ignore the senior girl tonight?"

"Huh?"

"She got rejected in love, let her be alone tonight."

"..."

"That’s decided then!"

Isn’t it too early to call it a rejection in love... Fujiwara Reya held his junior’s slender waist.
