The day of the summer festival finally arrived.
It is now after school, on the last day of school before summer vacation, and I'm waiting for Tachibana in front of the local station.
It's now in late July but the nights are still hot and humid.
But I really like it because it feels like summer.
It's also really hot today.
And even though it's already nighttime, I can still faintly hear the sounds of the cicadas.
This time, I invited Tachibana.
I wonder if I will be able to entertain Tachibana.
I thought about preparing something to talk about, but I decided to be spontaneous.
The time right now is 19:00 and the fireworks display will start at 20:00.
Since it was a big festival there are a lot people coming out from the station.
There were families, couples, and groups of friends.
I also noticed that were also a few people wearing yukata.
Tachibana said she was going to wear a yukata, so I decided to wear one as well.
I'm wearing a dark navy-colored yukata, a beige obi* and a sandals.
This is the yukata my father used to wear, I just pulled it out from the back of the closet and I told my parents that I was going to the festival with my friends.
I wondered what kind of yukata Tachibana is wearing? I'm sure it will be very beautiful.
Everyone who passes by in front of me seems that they are having so much fun. I hope that this is also becomes an unforgettable memory for us.
"Heeey!"
I heard a familiar voice when I turned to face where the voice was coming from.
