At 7:27 in the evening, a seat with a soft stool is placed on the riverside. This is a VIP seat. You can see the most splendid firework scenery across the river, and there is a lantern hanging on the tree. The atmosphere is It is very elegant and comfortable. These seats are booked at a cost and a trust relationship, so there are relatively fewer tourists around this area of ​​seating.

Everyone sat down one by one, and Yuihama Yui sat on a row of soft benches. Looking at it, not only was it quite quiet, but the environment was also quite charming, so I was a little surprised and sighed: "It's great, these are VIPs." Seat, I haven't been here since I was little."

On the seat, Li Yan chose to sit in a row with Yuihama Yui, Higiya Hachiman, and Tsurumi Rumi and other elementary school students, waiting for the start of the Chiba Fireworks Festival in a noisy chat.

In the front row, there are still seats reserved for Sayuri Sawamura and the sisters Yukoshita, and the gorgeously dressed people around them are basically people with good looks in the business community of Chiba Prefecture.

"Isn't this Miss Yukoshita? I haven't seen you for a while."

Soon, Xuexiayangnai just sat down, and some of the business nobles who came and went around recognized Xuexiayangnai, Xuexiayangnai seemed to be comfortable, and stood up and chattered. Started to talk about the company and trade.

"..." Xuexia Xuenai sat here, looking a little uncomfortable with such a false and exaggerated business occasion. She looked at Xuexia Yangnao, who was both right and left, but she also fell into a powerless situation.

"The fireworks are about to begin, Miss Yukoshita, the first fireworks is the most shocking, don't miss it."

Suddenly, Yukoshita Yukino's left seat, Sawamura Sayuri sat down upright, looked at her with a gentle smile and said.

"...Thank you, I see." Yukino Yukino under Yukino was a little surprised at first, but then she recovered her mood and nodded in thanks.

At this moment, for Yukino Yukoshita, deciding to go to this viewing area seems to be a wrong choice. The one on the right is her sister who she has been unable to surpass and can only look up, and the one on the left... is also quite a concern for her Mysterious woman.

On the way, Yukoshita Yukino also some accidentally learned information about Miss Sawamura from her sister. Sawamura’s family is a traditional underworld family in Kyoto. It has been passed down to the sixth generation and began to reform in the sixth generation. Turning to gray and formal industries, the Zecun group includes finance, real estate, and shipping. In terms of business, the two have maintained trade relations for many years. This time this young woman came to negotiate on behalf of the Zecun family. It's a cooperation matter.

"Li Jun, it's my friend, don't need to care too much." Sayuri Sawamura said quietly and indifferently.

"I'm sorry, I didn't care." Yukino Yukoshita replied blankly.

"Really, but if you don't care, why emphasize that I don't care?" Sawamura Sayuri smiled and asked.

"This..." Xuexiaxuenai opened her eyes slightly, her expression a little panicked.

Sayuri Sawamura smiled and continued: "That person is almost awkwardly okay, but this seems to be one of his strengths. It seems that there is an unforgettable barrier that has always made him choose to take the path of life that is so depressed if he does If you say it, I don’t know what he has experienced, but it should be a frustration that I don’t want to remember, but if I think about it seriously..."

"...This way of protecting yourself...it's pathetic, right?"

Sawamura Sayuri smiled faintly, and asked with a weak and worried mood.

Xuexiaxue Nai was stunned for a moment. At this moment, at 7:30 and 01 seconds in the night, there was a sound of breaking through the sky, and a firework rose into the sky, making a violent and shocking sound in the sky. Beautiful purple fireworks bloomed.

"!"

Sayuri Sawamura and Yukino Yukoshita were immediately attracted by the fireworks in the sky.

"...In the end, as a reminder, I didn't see the first act. It was really a shame."

Sayuri Sawamura smiled awkwardly, her beautiful cheeks slightly raised her head and looked at the night sky, and one after another began to bloom in the sky, and said.

It is not clear why, Yukino Yukoshita quietly looked at the woman who met for the first time again. She didn't seem to say much, but she didn't know why, but she seemed to have revealed a lot of words to her...

So, are they enemies, or... such people who meet?

The fireworks lasted for a long time, attracting people praying in the streets, trams, buildings, temple fairs, and every figure in this small viewing area. The light of the fire shone on everyone, and it was fleeting. , Silence was in the darkness.

Li Yan's eyes, Higiya Hachiman, Yuihama Yui, Yukinoshita sisters, Tsurumi Rumi, and Sawamura Sayuri and others, quietly watching the fireworks display, cheers and laughter came from the street, the whole night Has also reached the climax stage.

When the last fireworks made a loud noise, the flames gradually extinguished in the night sky. Finally, people cheered, and the bustling Chiba Fireworks Festival ended in this way.

"So lovely!"

"Yeah, it's the first time I saw fireworks so far ahead."

Yumi and other elementary school students said happily.

I don’t know why, Li Yan’s feeling at this moment always feels that this atmosphere is inexplicably like celebrating the New Year. Isn’t it the same as his atmosphere and mood for the New Year when he was a child?

Moreover, the fireworks are round, which always feels a bit monotonous, but this is a characteristic of Japanese fireworks.

Just as everyone stood up and prepared to leave, the fireworks display was also about to enter the second half of the excitement. Suddenly, drop by drop, as if the weather forecast made a funny joke with everyone, the sky has long been Without the moonlight, a few drops of cold rain fell on Li Yan's face. Everyone raised their heads in amazement and looked at the sky...

L!

The sky began to rain heavily.

※※※

Suddenly, less than three minutes after the end of the fireworks, a downpour caught the happy group of tourists off guard.

The lanterns were all extinguished by the rain, and the people by the river were plunged into darkness. The crowd rioted. From time to time, girls screamed. They fled the open space and ran towards the eaves.

"Really, an inaccurate weather forecast!"

Li Yan was wetted by the rain most of the time, and the crowd in the auditorium was crushed in darkness, and dispersed him, Tsurumi Rumi and others.

"Senior, the rain is too heavy, let's take the children to the street to shelter from the rain, you should come to shelter from the rain soon too!"

In the crowd, Yuihama Yui found Li Yan who was still looking for them, and when he was about to get wet by the heavy rain and couldn't open his eyes, Yuihama Yui hurriedly shouted.

"Okay, I'll go over!" Li Yan felt relieved when he heard it, and hurriedly responded.

The rustling rain, in the dark river, although everyone left in an orderly manner, but the road was still blocked, the sound of rain and the crowd was too noisy, when Li Yan was about to leave, he was dimmed In the ray of light, he saw the figure of a familiar girl next to him. As a result, in a state of unconsciousness, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's left hand without panic, but lost his way.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm Li Yan... You are Miss Xuexia, and Miss Sawamura, no matter what, leave soon!"

Li Yan's cheeks were covered with rain, and he couldn't open his eyes. When he realized that the other party seemed to be getting rid of his hand, he hurriedly explained his identity. Sure enough, the other party's hand calmed down quickly, and he seemed to be his friend. one.

"..."

However, the young girl did not reply, despite being held by Li Yan, she dared to go to the street with difficulty in the crowd.

The order personnel are constantly arranging the crowd to disperse to various rain shelters. Almost none of the people staying by the river can hide from being soaked. Li Yan finally got under the rain shelter, in some dim light. In the middle, and in the boundless shadows of the surrounding people, he received a towel sent by a volunteer. Then, in a depressed mood, he turned around and handed the towel to the girl who was still holding hands. However, this It took him a while to see whose hand he was pulling.

She was also a little embarrassed by the rain. However, it was a similar scene. She looked at him several times in the rain. Her long black hair was dripping with rain, and her beautiful chin was also dripping drop by drop. The drops of water made this fair complexion and beautiful girl look even more beautiful, without reducing her unique charm.

"...Just now, I remembered the scene of being in the rain together last year."

Sawamura Sayuri gradually calmed down, she smiled shallowly.

The heavy rain was still falling, and there were frolicking sounds around, or sighs of shortcomings. In Li Yan's eyes, this was almost the most beautiful picture he had ever seen.

However, in the memory, flashing back to the time when she stood in the black rain, looking at him poignantly and lonely...

There was a strong contrast, he still let go of his hand subconsciously, and Sayuri Sawamura also withdrew his hand. Immediately afterwards, Li Yan handed her the towel, looked at her, and said worriedly: "Wipe it dry first, otherwise you may catch a cold."

Sawamura Sayuri looked at Li Yan's towel hesitantly. Finally, she nodded and smiled and said, "Okay."

The heavy rain is still falling, and the crowd has stopped the commotion. No one really believes that the animation is always explaining the firework conventions and will not encounter heavy rain. In fact, two or three times out of ten times, they will encounter such strange weather. While waiting for the rain to stop while looking for something to do, Li Yan and Zemura Sayuri also stood quietly under the eaves, waiting for the moment when the rain stopped.

"Li Jun, when I was misunderstood by you that day, actually... I was very sad."
