fall in love with Echizen

"Hey, I'm going to the fireworks festival. I just happened to be wearing the new yukata I bought for Lihua!" Mom heard that I was going to the fireworks festival at night, so she excitedly started looking through the closet.

My dad crossed his legs and squinted his eyes to look at me with displeasure: "Hey, hey, Lihua, don't do anything outrageous with that brat in this 100% CG-triggered couple scene!"

Me: "...what extraordinary things can you do?"

"Okay!" My mother took out the unopened bathrobe at the bottom of the press box, and gestured at me twice, "It seems to be just right?"

Wearing a yukata is very troublesome, it is not as good as casual clothes, and it is also inconvenient to move around. I turned my head away and said, "Forget it, it's so troublesome, Mom, I still wear my own..."

"If you don't wear this, you won't be able to wear it! It's a waste!" My mother insisted on me wearing it, so I had to compromise.

Okay...but-

I let my mother help me fasten the belt behind me, and sent a message by the way.

[Ewha: Remember to wear a bathrobe. ]

[Ryoma:? ]

[Ryoma: No, it's so troublesome. ]

[Ewha: Don't wear it now!I won't be able to wear it in the future and waste it! ]

[Ewha: Maomao shakes his head.jpg, this is not allowed! ]

[Ryoma: ...]

[Ryoma: You wear it too? ]

Just as I was about to reply, my stomach was suddenly strangled by my belt, and I almost choked.

Mom: "Oh, I'm sorry, I have to tighten it up."

I couldn't breathe: "...wait a minute, relax a little more..."

"Good good."

The restraint on my stomach loosened a bit, and I breathed a sigh of relief before replying.

[Ewha: That’s right, so you have to wear it too. ]

It took a minute for Ryoma to agree.

[Ryoma: OK. ]

I am satisfied.

……

"Which one should I plug in? Well... let me think about it."

I sat in front of the mirror, and behind me my mother was picking out hair accessories and hairpins.

"Okay, that's it!"

I raised my head, and the black hair that was braided and rolled up was tied with a hairpin, and the whole length was submerged, leaving only three small white flowers of different sizes on the head of the hairpin dotted in the thick black.

I was supposed to wear a bow tie, but I didn't buy a bow tie at home, so I made do with hairpins first.

When everything is done, I stand up, the cuff is too big, I can't help but roll it a few times.

My mother held my wrist to stop, and said with a smile: "No, just be careful when eating."

Me: "...Okay."

I looked in the mirror, the yukata was pink with countless white flowers on it.

I always feel that it is quite uncomfortable to tie up all my hair...

"It's super cute! Let's take a picture of Lihua!" Dad took out a camera out of nowhere and pointed it at me.

I said coldly, "No."

At night, the hillside is brightly lit, and there are small game vendors selling snacks and catching fish along the way.

The dark shadows of the woods surround the narrow and lively street, countless fireworks are being prepared, and there are huge crowds of people.

I stood by the red pillar at the entrance of the shrine and waited for the dragon horse to come.

I didn't expect to be the first to arrive this time.

I shook off the small fabric handbag in the same color as the yukata.

Its red hemp rope is not easy to fall off when wrapped around the wrist.

I don't know what kind of bathrobe my mother bought. The cuffs are too big for me, and the hem makes me very uncomfortable. It's strange to walk.

"Hey."

I followed the prestige, and a person in the crowd stopped to look at me. He was wearing a dark blue men's bathrobe. Ryoma looked away after seeing me, and walked over with an awkward expression.

I looked at his loose bathrobe: "That's great, it's very convenient for you to wear it."

"..." For some reason, Ryoma didn't speak up immediately, his amber eyes reflected the red fire on the street, he paused and turned to me, "Hmm..."

I reach out.

Ryoma looked down at my open palm: "What are you doing?"

Me: "It's so hard for me to walk, hold me."

I seldom wear clogs, and I don’t like to wear them either, I always feel like I’m about to fall off.

Ryoma: "..."

His hand came over and held me firmly, the heat passed.

I explained a few words: "It's not easy to walk in clogs... By the way, you are very handsome today, it's up to you."

"..." Ryoma looked at me, was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, it seemed that he had just washed his hair, without a hat to cover it, his dark green hair was soft and light, and he swept his eyebrows, "You are very beautiful today."

I was taken aback, and muttered: "You still said that you said the word beautiful for the first time..."

Maybe it was the dim lights and the boiling human voice, Ryoma let go a little bit, and inexplicably held back a little awkwardly.

Wearing yukata and clogs, I walked slower than usual, but Ryoma was not in a hurry, and walked at my speed.

The lively atmosphere, I want to play, I tug on his sleeve: "Go catch goldfish."

Ryoma: "...is there something to catch."

A few minutes later, we arrived at a shop that uses small paper nets to catch fish. Goldfish were running around in the inflatable swimming pool.

Ryoma squatted next to me, and helped me grab the wide and hanging sleeves so that I wouldn't fall into the water.

When the goldfish swims to the top of my paper net, I concentrate on fishing it up carefully.

Snapped!

It was broken, and the half-caught goldfish fell into the water again and ran away in a panic.

I:"……"

Ryoma sneered: "The paper net is so brittle, you should hurry up. You are so slow."

Me: "Lue, then you come."

Longma raised his eyebrows: "I'll come, I'll come."

Ryoma asked for a paper net, held the handle, and dipped the round paper net into clean water.

He scoops up goldfish as soon as they come within range.

pat.

broken.

I couldn't help covering my mouth and laughing out loud, Ryoma looked over quietly, I let go of my hand and smiled at him without showing weakness.

Ryoma: "...Forget it."

I picked up a few but didn't pick them up. I quickly lost interest and dragged Ryoma to the next place.

Longma got serious: "No, I have to catch one."

I stood up straight: "Then you fish here, I don't want you anymore, I'm leaving by myself."

Long Ma paused, raised his head and pursed his lips.

I was inexplicably terrified by his staring, so I said another way: "Let's go, there are still a lot of fun."

He agreed.

Going on, I bought a bunch of candied apples to eat, while Ryoma frowned at the candied haws in his hand.

I was happy to eat the sweet apple candy, Ryoma paused for a few seconds, and stretched out the candied haws in front of me. I turned to look at him, but he turned away from me unnaturally: "Do you want it?"

The bright red candied haws shimmered under the light.

I thought for a while: "No, candied haws are so sour."

Ryoma: "It's not sour."

I shook my head: "It's very sour for me. I'll give you mine."

I put the candy apple to Ryoma's mouth before Ryoma showed his displeasure.

Me: "You eat mine."

Ryoma glanced at me, murmured, and lowered his head to take a bite of the red sugar on the edge: "It's so sweet...!"

I guess his expression said "so tired".

"It's just for sweetness." I ignored it and continued to eat mine.

In the light, the palms that had been in contact with him were slowly heating up. I quietly reached up and held his forearm. Ryoma's cuff was also very big, so I could easily slip in and hold it.

Ryoma's reaction to this was to give me a silent look and chuckle a few times.

I glanced at a stall selling masks on the street: "Hey wait, let's go there."

All kinds of masks were hung on the iron net, and I squeezed his arm unconsciously: "Let's buy one."

Long Ma paused, and hummed slowly.

I let go of my hand and bent down to look carefully.

The boss greeted eagerly: "Just try whichever you like, the little girl, it's absolutely beautiful!"

As I was watching, my eyes suddenly went dark, and my whole face was covered. I was so frightened that I straightened up and hurriedly took it off.

It is a fox monster mask with red stripes and a white background.

"It's quite appropriate." Longma's playful voice came.

I was upset, I took off a mask of a cat demon and put it on Ryoma's face at once.

Me: "This is also very suitable!"

Ryoma was covered, and his face was covered by a cat demon mask with yellow stripes and a white background with a grotesque smile.

Ryoma pushed the mask on his head, revealing his face: "..."

Then we just bought those two.

I hung the mask on the side of my head, and after the candy apples I wanted something else.

Longma had already eaten all the candied haws, and the cat demon mask was stuck to the side of his head, suppressing his dark green hair.

Me: "I want to eat something else."

Ryoma looked at me: "Then eat."

I rubbed my stomach: "But if you eat too much, your stomach will be tied up and uncomfortable."

The belt was tight.

I patted my belt in annoyance. Before Ryoma could say anything, I had a flash of inspiration: "I need to find a place to loosen it!"

"..." Ryoma just put his hand on my crooked hairpin, and said strangely, "...huh?"

***

When I arrived in the woods away from the lights, I looked down and studied the knots tied by my mother.

Ryoma held my handbag and didn't look at me, his ears blushed suspiciously: "... Hurry up."

"Don't rush, don't rush." ​​I didn't loosen the belt completely. After all, the project was too much, and the belt was loose, and the bathrobe might fall off.

Just loosen it hard on the tied bow and turn it to the back.

I fiddled with it for a long time, and finally relaxed a little, "Okay! Let's go."

Ryoma looked at me now, and grabbed my hand with a click: "Wait."

I was pulled: "What's wrong?"

"Shouldn't the rest of your belt be wrapped around a bow a few times?"

I bowed my head, and the remaining part of the belt fell on my waist.

Me: "It's okay, it won't disperse."

"Don't move." Ryoma didn't listen to me, and stood behind me. I noticed that he picked up the remaining end and wrapped it around the middle of the bow a few times, pulling it tight.

After he finished, I said, "Okay, okay, let's go out."

Ryoma hummed slowly, I didn't find anything wrong.

After I went out, I bought octopus balls, inserted one and held it up: "You eat."

Ryoma took a bite, his cheeks puffed up while chewing.

I concentrated on eating and said casually, "I'm going to throw out the trash."

Just walk out of the crowd and throw the trash.

I hummed a song and returned to the original place, but there was no sign of dragons and horses, only people coming and going talking and laughing.

I:"?"

I tried to call out: "Ryoma?"

Submerged in the din of voices.

lost.

I froze for a moment, my first reaction was to look for my mobile phone, but the bag was no longer with me, it was in the hands of Ryoma.

I don't have a cell phone or a wallet.

I was shocked, and looked around, there were people everywhere, but none of them were Ryoma.

I couldn't help but sneaked into the gaps in the crowd and looked around. I was not used to wearing clogs and it was uncomfortable, so I tried to walk as fast as possible.

"Dragon horse?"

"Pear blossom."

I vaguely heard his voice, but I didn't know where it was.

I didn't realize Ryoma's exact location until a familiar handbag was thrown into the air among the crowd.

I hurried towards that place, and there were so many people, I was bumped inadvertently.

My right foot in clogs tilted, and I almost fell, but I managed to stabilize myself.

"Hello." Ryoma seemed to have seen me, pushed through the crowd and grabbed my arm, "Are you okay?"

He was panting slightly, his face was a little pink, and his amber eyes were fixed on me.

I slowed down, and there was a heart-rending pain in my ankle. I stretched out my hand, and Ryoma hugged me subconsciously.

I leaned on his shoulder: "It hurts, it hurts... I seem to have sprained my foot."

Ryoma looked at it: "...Go and sit down first."

I found a flower bed with not many people and sat down. The pain became more and more painful, but it was still bearable.

Long Ma paused, squatted down on one knee in front of me, hesitated, and asked me: "Did I see it?"

I bowed my head, "It should be fine in a while...you see."

Ryoma glanced at me and pressed his fingers on the top of my ankle: "Here?"

I breathed out: "A little below."

Ryoma raised his eyes to see if I was about to cry or not, his eyes flickered, as if he was nervous, but his face didn't show it, "Who told you to run around without telling me."

Me: "I told you!"

Ryoma: "I didn't hear that."

I froze, and said stiffly: "Anyway, I said it..."

Ryoma didn't say much, his eyes were lowered, his lips seemed to be pursed, his fingers moved down slowly, and when he touched his ankle, I immediately hissed: "It hurts, don't press it."

Ryoma touched lightly, "It's okay, nothing is red. It's just a temporary pain."

I:"……"

I saw him staring down at my ankle, turning his head aside, the fireworks in the distance were getting ready.

Me: "By the way, what are you talking about telling me?"

Ryoma suddenly grasped my ankle and encircled it lightly. My feet were forced to lift up a few centimeters, and the clogs hung loosely on my feet.

Me: "What are you doing!?"

Ryoma came to his senses and raised his head: "Just check again."

I looked suspiciously, Ryoma and I looked at each other for a few seconds, and Maotong unconsciously glanced away.

Me: "Don't lift my feet, the bathrobe I'm wearing, won't I just walk away from you if you do this?"

"...Huh?" Ryoma was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this, he subconsciously looked at the slightly raised foot held in his hand, and then went up to the calf that was attached to the bathrobe.

My ankle was suddenly released by him.

Feeling weird, I frowned, ignored the delicate atmosphere, and continued: "What are you going to tell me?"

"...I want to participate in the U17 training camp. I may not see each other for a long time." Ryoma returned to his senses and said dryly.

I said, "It's okay, it's a long vacation."

Ryoma: "We can... contact by phone. It's far away, so don't come."

I casually agreed: "Yeah."

I bowed my head, Ryoma still maintained that posture, the yukata was a little loose, and the collarbone, shoulders and elbows were vaguely visible.

But what caught my attention more was the furry top of his head.

I felt itchy, and reached out to rub his head.

Ryoma: "?"

Me: "You can lie on my lap like Karubin."

Ryoma: "I'm not a cat."

I rubbed and pulled his mask down to put it on him, and said with a smile, "You are a cat demon."

"Hey, you guy..."

Before the words fell, the fireworks in the distance exploded, countless colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, and every corner was illuminated by the light of the fireworks.

"The fireworks are very beautiful." I looked up at the fireworks, and Ryoma stood up and hummed.

In bursts of flames, my view of the fireworks was suddenly blocked. Ryoma took off his mask smoothly, looked at me with amber eyes, and bent down.

As I was sitting, I put my arms around the neck of the approaching Ryoma, and raised my head.

Warmth spreads on the lips.

His hands hugged my shoulders, and the cat demon mask fell silently into the soil of the flower bed.

I thought about what Ryoma did last time.

It should be like this.

The tip of my tongue touched Ryoma's lips.

"!" Ryoma was frightened and let go, Hu Po blinked.

It's so close that I can kiss again just by raising my head again, and my breath is intertwined.

Me: "Come on for the training camp."

Ryoma gasped for breath, Hitomi still stared at me closely: "Well...Of course."

After the first round of fireworks exploded, during the quiet interval, he kissed again.

I'm in a daze at the back, although it's just sticking, but Ryoma wants to kiss other places, my face is kissed all over, when he kisses my neck, I shrink from itching, Ryoma will laugh a few times and touch his ears I went, and the familiar atmosphere surrounded me again, with a wonderful premonition that I was about to break out of the cocoon and mature.

The fireworks exploded again.
