Alright, where should we go next~ The festival's barely just begun, Yue!

.......You sure have a lot of energy, Kurogitsune.

What, tired already? You okay?

Mm...I'm just a little tired.

It's my first time going to a place with so many humans bustling around, so I guess it's to be expected.

...I see. Let's take a break somewhere there aren't so many humans, then. Once you feel a little better, we can go see the next place.

...Okay, thanks.

..............

.......Ah.

...Mm?



Amazing. They're pinwheels. ...There's so many here.

It's amazing, huh, Kurogitsune?

Yeah...it sure is.

The theme of this festival is the master's favorite tsubaki flower, y'know. So they put up a lot of red pinwheels as decorations to imitate them.

Hmm, I see. So these pinwheels are tsubaki flowers.

That's right. Each of the paper lanterns lit during the festival symbolizes one, too. This festival is held to make lots of tsubaki flowers bloom for the master, after all.

...Huh...lots of...tsubaki flowers...

.......

.......Eh?



Yue: .......Ah...

???: ..............

Kurogitsune: ...? What is it, Yue?

Yue: .......

Kurogitsune: ...Hm? That guy...?

Yue: (...I wonder who that is....I feel like I know him.)



???: .......

Kurogitsune: .......He's really glaring at those pinwheels. It's as if he hates them.



Yue: .......

Kurogitsune: ...Yue?

Yue: ...You.

???: .......

Yue: ...Hey, you.



...Huh...?

The pinwheel that dropped over there, is it yours?

.......Dropped?

Mmhm, right over there, see.

.......



...Here. It's a little dirty, but other than that it's fine.

.....................

.......Um, hello?

...Ah.................

...It's not mine.

...Eh...

You've got the wrong guy.

.......I see........

.......You got something else to say?

.......Do you...hate them?

...What...?

...Pinwheels. You were glaring at them.

..............Not really.....

...What's your problem, anyway?

...Er, sorry, I guess that was a pretty sudden question.

..........Makes no sense...

.......

...If there's nothing else, I'm gonna go.

Ah...uum....That's right, your name. What's your name?

...? It's Tsubaki.

.......Tsubaki. That's the name of a flower.

What about you? What's up with you, seriously.

Umm, I'm Yue. ...Nice to meet you.

.......I wouldn't call it nice, exactly.

...Can I go now? Someone's waiting for me.



Ah, right, sorry. ...Thanks.

.......What a weird guy...



.......

...He left. Pretty cold guy, that one...

...Eh? Did you say something?

...No, nothing. Anyway, are you interested in that guy?

..........Mmhm... I'm not sure why, though.

...Hmm..... Tch, guess it can't be helped.

Eh?

........Er, forget I said anything. The festival's still going strong.

Come on, let's go. It's the long-awaited festival after all.

.......Yeah, that's right......................

...Ooii. You alright?

.......I wonder if I'll meet that guy again.... I'm not really sure why, but. He's different from other humans....somehow.

.......

Of course you'll meet 'im....If it's like that for you.

...Eh...

It's just a hunch though. ...Come on, let's go!

...Right...



...Tsubaki, huh.
