Anime fans, is there anything wrong with being a little unrestrained?

"Kasumigaoka, what's so good about a fireworks display? And there are too many people..."

"Oh? Miss Eriri, who's complaining right now, could you please control your excited expression for a moment?"

"I'm not excited at all. I'm just nervous because I haven't participated in such a large-scale fireworks display in a long time. I'm just a little nervous..."

"hehe... ..."

"Wait, where's Kato?"

"...Wasn't she right next to you just now? Eriri, did you lose her?"

"Damn it! She was the one who got lost, okay? Why are you blaming me? Ugh... I knew this kind of fireworks display wasn't fun at all. I might as well just stay home and draw in a book..."

"...I also want to go back and play some grown-up games."

"Wait, Kasumigaoka, what are you talking about?"

"Eri, that's not something a good girl like you should listen to..."

"Kasumi Hill!!!"

"..."

This fireworks display did not receive any large-scale publicity in advance, but even so, the number of people who came was unexpected.

but... ...

Miyamizu Rokuha can still find the girls at a glance, because their halos are more dazzling than the dazzling fireworks.

therefore.

He was not worried at all about any accidents, not to mention that there were people from the Yukinoshita family and the Shinomiya family in the dark.

However, in this situation, someone suddenly poked his waist gently...

That's not a place you can just poke at!

Miyamizu Rokuha turned her head in surprise and saw a black-haired girl in an indigo lily yukata standing gracefully and quietly behind her.

...It's Kato Megumi.

Wait, wasn't she just walking with Eriri and the others?

Seeing that he seemed to be looking at her in shock, Kato Megumi blinked, raised her little hand and waved, saying hello crisply:

"Good evening, Liuye-san."

"Good evening."

Miyamizu Rokuha subconsciously greeted her, and at this time, Shinomiya Kaguya heard the voice and looked over.

"Eh? Are you Kato-san?"

Shinomiya Kaguya hesitated, but accurately said Kato Megumi's name.

Then, she displayed the demeanor of a young lady and greeted him elegantly.

"Good evening, Kato-san."

"Um, Shinomiya-san, good evening."

Kato Megumi looked at Miyamizu Rokuha, then looked at Shinomiya Kaguya who was holding his arm, and said hesitantly: "Um... am I disturbing you?"

"Why do you say that?"

Without waiting for Miyamizu Rokuha to speak, Shinomiya Kaguya smiled and said:

"I remember you were the president's friend. I used to see you around him often."

"In that case, then it's not really a bother. Rather, it's something worth being happy about to run into friends at this fireworks display."

"Is that so..."

Hearing what Shinomiya Kaguya said, for some reason, after hearing the sentence "I often see you by his side", Kato Megumi's calm face suddenly showed some ripples.

But before Miyamizu Rokuha could make a careful distinction, Kato Megumi said goodbye and left.

Shinomiya Kaguya asked curiously: "President, isn't she staying with us? Actually, I really don't mind."

Miyamizu Rokuha: ... ...

Seeing him looking at her with a strange expression, Shinomiya Kaguya blinked and asked curiously: "President, what's wrong?"

"Kaguya is so cute."

"Um~ President, please don't praise me all of a sudden!"

"hehe... ..."

Miyamizu Rokuha noticed that Kato Megumi and Hayasaka Ai had suddenly gotten together, and then she ran into Yotsuya Miko, and then she finally found Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha...

Finally, they passed by Yuigahama and others again.

...

The Shinomiya family.

After the fireworks display ended, Miyamizu Rokuha personally sent Shinomiya Kaguya back home.

After drinking a cup of tea, Miyamizu Rokuha said goodbye and left, and then wanted to stop Hayasaka Ai and continue the unfinished business of the day.

However, before he could find Hayasaka Ai, a game announcement suddenly sounded -

【notice--】

【Attention all players! 】

[The number of players has now reached the required level, and we are now starting to build the second large-scale virtual reality stage——]

[The game stage is being set up——]

[Please note that the second large-scale virtual reality game, Lost Summer, will start at 3 pm in two days.]

【All players please be prepared. 】

Please note...

【... ...】

Three consecutive game announcements suddenly rang in the ears of all players.

There is no doubt what this announcement represents.

Up to now, the zombie virus has not been completely eliminated, and there are still frequent disturbances in places they cannot see.

This is a disaster more serious than the appearance of zombies.

So what about this time?

There is no doubt that this will be another disaster that may spread across the world.

... ...This world is doomed to fail.

This thought popped up in Miyamizu Rokuha's mind again.

But no matter what disaster it is, it can't stop him from looking for Hayasaka Ai...

What's more, aren't there still two days of preparation time?

Is that enough?

Miyamizu Rokuha glanced at Kaguya-sama's phone call, answered it, and left quickly.

...

Seaside Park.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

The night has darkened.

The fireworks display is coming to an end.

The number of tourists in the coastal park has also decreased a lot, and it has begun to show a desolate state after its prosperity.

Miyamizu Rokuha ran quickly, panting, and then came to the beach.

Soon, he finally saw the girl with blonde hair and a ponytail walking alone on the beach, barefoot and holding wooden clogs.

The hem of the yukata had been wet by the sea water, which kept rushing in, sometimes submerging the girl's feet.

"Ai-chan..."

Miyamizu Rokuha shouted, but Hayasaka Ai seemed not to hear her and continued walking forward.

But soon, Miyamizu Rokuha hugged the girl's waist from behind, stopping Hayasaka Ai.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"..."

The air suddenly became heavy, but the girl's shoulders began to shrug slightly.

Miyamizu Rokuha has always known that Hayasaka Ai is actually a timid crybaby, and people who cry a lot have a characteristic, that is, they are very fragile inside.

Although Hayasaka Ai usually appears to be decisive, smart and capable, that is not the real her. I guess no one knows how many layers of masks this girl wears.
