Fireworks Festival 2

"Oya, I didn't expect to meet the two of you here! On your way to enjoy the fireworks festival?" I greet them with my usual smile, the duo in front of me.

"Aaahh! Why are you here, you fake merchant?! Are you following us?!" Exclaimed Paimon, after recognizing me.

"Don't be like that Paimon, but it is a surprise to see you here Lu. Aren't you really busy?" Lumine reprimanded her partner, before asking me curiously.

"I am, but it's good to take a break every now and then. I heard there's a festival for today, so I invited my younger sister to come here." I answered the curious traveler, then looked at the person beside me to signal her into playing along.

"My name is Chiyo, a pleasure to finally meet both of you. My brother told me a lot of good things about you two." The oni introduced herself to them.

"Nice to meet you too Chiyo, I am Lumine and this is my partner Paimon. Lu never told me about such a sister though." Lumine replied, staring at me with suspicion for a bit.

"We did came here for the festival, and there's also somebody else with us." Lumine stated, done with her stare, before looking to her side. The person who accompanied her wanted to say something, but I'm faster.

"Hmm?! I didn't intend to ignore such a beautiful lady right in front of my eyes, please forgive me! My name is Jiang Ziya, can you allow me to hear your name milady?" I quickly said and shamelessly apologized to the person I ignored, on purpose. The others were silent, and only stared at me with those knowing eyes.

'I definitely didn't expect to meet her this early. I planned on meeting her later for something. Kamisato Ayaka, the elegant princess of the Kamisato Clan. Together with her brother Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Yashiro Commission, they supervised the in and outs of the culture in Inazuma. You can say that because I saw the future, I could've predicted this, but I don't approve of peeking into someone's privacy. I only focused on the important parts, and put everything else at the back of my mind.' With such thoughts, I waited for the lady to respond.

"A pleasure to finally meet you too, your majesty Raiden Lu. The traveler have spoken to me about you, My name is Kamisato Ayaka." The princess replied and introduced herself with a calm smile, while Paimon and Lumine just stuck out their tongues for my failure.

"Gorgeous! Graceful! And also smart! I am more than pleased to know that the princess of the Kamisato Clan exceeded my expectations!" I praised loudly for everyone to hear, finally getting the reaction I wanted after noticing the small blush on the princess. I threw a smirk at the duo, who laughed at my failure.

"Still! I didn't expect that you swing that way Lumine.... But don't worry! As you're friend I fully support you!-" I stopped and moved to the side, to dodge the fast blade coming to slash me.

"It's nothing like that! Don't misunderstand, you bastard!" The embarrassed Lumine shouted, before drawing back her sword. Paimon only looked shocked and confused from the revelation she heard.

"I'm sorry! I went too far!! I apologize!!! Oh right! Lady Ayaka, do you know where someone named Yoimiya is currently? We went to the festival, for the purpose of finding her." I exclaimed, before asking the blushing princess to change the topic.

"Umm..... She should be checking the used fireworks during the festival right now, since most of them are made by her family." Answered the flustered lady, breaking out from her daze.

"Then, we'll be going first! I'd rather not interfere in your secret rendezvous." Saying those final words in a teasing tone, I led the silent yet curious oni that observed our whole conversation towards our destination. I looked behind me for a second to see an angry and embarrassed Lumine, a bewildered Paimon, and a flustered Ayaka.

'You're too young to play with me! That ought to teach you a lesson hehehe...' Finishing my monologue, I guided the oni to find the person we're looking for, clueless to the fact that the traveler was older than me.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Excuse me fine lady, are you perhaps Yoimiya?" I questioned politely, to the currently working girl we found.

"Hmmm?! Indeed, my name is Yoimiya! Nice to meetcha!" Answered the bizarre looking girl with a hyperactive tone.

"This was the one I told you earlier Chiyo, she made almost all those fireworks made for the festival." I whispered to the silent oni, and it looked like it caught her intrigue as planned.

"Those fireworks during the show was amazing! How did you make them?!" Questioned the eager sister of mine.

"Oh?! I'm glad you liked them! I always put everything I have on making them! Let's see... there's a lot of things to talk about making fireworks, so how about we come to my home to talk about it while its early?" Yoimiya suggested to the lively Chiyo.

"I don't mind! I can make flashier fireworks with my pyro vision and equipment, but yours definitely looked more amazing than mine!" Answered this sister of mine immediately.

"Hoho! I'm absolutely curious about what you just said, so you better not lie to me!" Yoimiya said with burning competitiveness.

"I wouldn't lie about my proud creations! We used those as signals back in the day!" Replied Chiyo with a smirk. Seeing both of them getting along quickly, I made my move.

"I'll be going first Chiyo, take these and use them to contact me once you're done. I have something urgent to talk with Makoto right now. I hope to chat with you later Yoimiya, take care of my sister for me." I interrupted the two lively girls, to say my piece before handing out what looked like a talisman to Chiyo.

"I understand Nii-sama, I'll see you later!" The oni said with vigor, while taking the stuff I handed near her. I quickly left the two of them after hearing her permission, though I did hear a few things before teleporting.

"I never did get his name ,right Chiyo?!" Said Yoimiya, realizing something.

"He is my older brother, Lu Nii-sama! I can tell you about him later, so let's go!" Replied the energetic oni, before the two of them left the place, and I teleported.
