THE LAST CHAPTER: Liliana-san and the Yukata Sex
PART 1
「Ahh…… This looks exactly like that one picture that my sister sent me some time ago!」
Being unusually excited, Liliana was restlessly looking around with her eyes shining like that of a little child’s.
「Be that as it may, there is still a whole lot of people in here, so be careful to stray too far or get lost!」
「Yes, I understand, Tatsuya-san. Ahh, is that the famous goldfish scooping game that I heard so much about!? Ohh, is that perhaps a shooting range……!?」
「W-Wait just a moment! Liliana-san!?」
Tatsuya hurriedly chased after Liliana, who excitedly went ahead while looking around, while Tatsuya could feel that his throat was starting to become dry.
The place that they have come to was the summer festival that was organized at the local shrine. It’s actually been some time ago that Liliana mentioned that she was interested in the Japanese festivals, and the place that she was especially curious about was the various attractions and food stalls that they had to offer.
Although Tatsuya expected that Liliana would be excited about their excursion, he heavily underestimated just HOW MUCH she would be excited, and instead of going about the place in a slow and steady manner, he was having trouble to keep up with her.
Even though it was a small local festival, there were still a whole lot of people passing by it.
For Liliana, everything around the place seemed new and fresh, everything seemed unusual and out of the ordinary. And the way in which she was admiring one thing only to dash off towards another place a moment after, she truly was just like a small child with a relatively short attention span.
Of course, being this excited about the festival, Tatsuya was worried that Liliana might actually dart off somewhere on her own and ultimately get lost, so he held her hand the whole time, as to make sure that she wouldn’t get lost.
「It’s okay, Liliana-san. The food stalls aren’t going to go anywhere. There is no need to rush.」
「Oh! Y-Yes, that’s right. I’m sorry. I just realized that.」
「I don’t really mind at all, but it’s actually the first time I’ve seen you frolic around so much, Liliana-san.」
「I-Is that so?」
Normally she would never run in front of her own, staying right by Tatsuya’s side. So it was actually a completely new and fresh experience to see her take the initiative like that.
Liliana seemed to have become aware of that fact as well, especially right after Tatsuya pointed that out so blatantly, and that seemed to have calmed her down a little bit and caused her to revert a little bit to her usual self.
「Well, I mean, since it is the summer festival and all that, I guess that one really cannot help it to get excited over it. However, it would not be nice to get lost in a dense crowd like that, so it’s best to pay attention to your surroundings.」
While saying that, Tatsuya held out his hand once more and grabbed onto Liliana’s hand tightly. She looked surprised for a moment, but she immediately smiled at him and grasped his hand back.
「Umm…… Well then, shall we start by checking out the goldfish scooping?」
「Yes, let’s. Everything around here is new and fresh to me, so I will leave the order of attractions to you, Tatsuya-san.」
「Roger that.」
After Liliana said that, the two decided to open up their grand summer festival adventure with goldfish scooping and went towards the stall with that exact attraction.
「–––––– THERE! Ooohhh, it torn to shreds.」
Tatsuya tried to set an example first so that Liliana could see how it’s done, but the result was that the paper was easily torn to pieces and he failed miserably.
「Well, that’s too bad.」
「Believe it or not, in the past I used to be quite good at this goldfish scooping game. But if you do about the same things as I did, you should be able to do it just fine, Liliana-san.」
「Umm, r-right! …… I will try to do my best here!」
After giving Liliana money to pay for the game, Liliana received the scooper and then she started to watch the swimming goldfish really intensely, while getting ready to make her move.
She then swung the scooper down with a fast and swift motion.
Naturally, the thin paper couldn’t possibly bear the pressure of the water pushing against it, and a big hole opened up right in the middle of it. It also seems that the frame part accidentally hit the goldfish, and when it was ejected from the surface of the water, it actually managed to jump right inside of the container that Liliana was holding onto.
「And, just like that I managed to get it……」
「Oh wow! Isn’t that amazing, Liliana-san?」
「It was a total coincidence, so I don’t think I would actually be able to pull it off if I were to try again.」
「However, you still managed to accomplish something that I wasn’t able to. In a sense, you avenged me. Thank you for that.」
「T-Thank you, Tatsuya-san, but I don’t really think that you need to thank me for anything! I didn’t do anything all that praise-worthy here!」
Liliana said she looked all flustered and embarrassed, but there was a huge smile blooming on her lips just now.
「Hmm, what should we do next, I wonder……? Oh! That’s right! How about we try that shooting range over there?」
「Yes, let’s do that!」
When Liliana nodded her head to Tatsuya’s suggestion, they headed towards the shooting range right away.
On a side note, the two decided to return the goldfish to the stall vendor, since they had no aquarium in which they could keep the goldfish back at home.
Just like that, Tatsuya and Liliana continued to look around the festival venue for various stores and attractions, such as shooting range, goldfish scooping, and die-cutting.
「We sure have gone around one interesting place after another, huh? And look at the time!」
「Time sure flies by when you are having fun.」
「Aren’t you tired, Liliana-san? We have walked quite a bit for since we got here.」
「Thank you for your concern, Tatsuya-san, but I’m still quite alright.」
For many of those attractions, it was Liliana’s very first time trying them out, and she seemed really excited to do it, and even though they went around a whole lot and participated in a whole lot of different activities, she didn’t seem to be tired in the slightest.
「Oh, that’s right. I got a set of those cold fires as a bonus from one of the stalls earlier. They do not have an expiration date or anything like that, but once we get back home we should give them a try in the yard.
「Yes, with pleasure.」
While Liliana answered him with a broad smile on her lips, Tatsuya decided that they simply must come here again next year and have even more fun than this time around. But with that being said, the hour was getting late and they decided that it was high time for them to start heading back home.
「I knew it, form here you cannot even hear the noise coming from the festival.」
「That’s right. It’s to be expected, but it actually feels a little bit lonely.」
Given the distance between their home and the shrine, it was only a given that once they would get back they would be unable to hear the hustle and bustle of the festivities, and that the area around their neighborhood would be completely quiet.
And when they got home, they went to the yard in front of it, prepared some matches, a candle, and a bucket of water just in case something was about to go wrong.
「Here you go, Liliana-san.」
Tatsuya took the fireworks out of the bag and gave one of them to Liliana.
「Thank you very much. Fufu, this is my first time having fireworks in such a way as this……」
Healed by Liliana’s carefree smile, Tatsuya squatted down, lit his candle and then urged her to light the fireworks he gave her.
The knot at the tip turned red, and the sparks that followed began to scatter all over the place.
Those fireworks were not nearly as flashy as the ones that you would see at the festivals, but they would still pop and dance around with a loud crackling sound that was still quite fantastical to witness. There was also a certain kind of beauty to that sight, one that you would never possibly get to witness on a daily basis.
「It’s so pretty……」
「They sure are.」
