Seven Days Until the Fireworks Show
"You're giving up so quickly?" Raphiel complained. "You change your mind too quickly!"
"It's impossible. Differences in body shape can't be fixed in just one or two days."
Although she was very confident that in the coming years, her figure would surely be better than Raphiel and Satania, now there were less than twenty days until August 31. In such a short period, it was impossible for her to suddenly develop her figure.
"In that case, what do you mean..." Raphiel vaguely guessed something.
"Let Kamikawa postpone going to the water park until three years, no, five years from now. By then, my figure should be almost the same as yours." Gabriel said confidently.
Raphiel said with a headache, "You're going too far."
"Indeed, going to the water park five years later is a bit excessive."
Gabriel tidied her hair out of embarrassment; she couldn't let so many people come and wait for her alone.
"No, what I meant by excessive is that you actually think your figure will be the same as ours in five years, rather than after five years." Raphiel replied.
"..."
Gabriel fell silent immediately.
"Why aren't you talking? What are you thinking?" After waiting for a long time, Raphiel asked with concern when she found that Gabriel was still silent.
"I'm wondering if there's a way to destroy all species in the world better than me." Gabriel replied seriously, "Raphi, do you have any good ideas about this?"
"How about just blowing a trumpet?" Raphiel gave her answer.
"No, blowing a trumpet will only destroy the human world, and heaven and the demon world won't be affected at all." Gabriel rejected the suggestion.
"So, you've really considered this method?"
At present, the human world was once again plagued by destruction, but luckily it managed to survive.
Gabriel shook the bracelet on her wrist and explained to her, "Um, there's still a week left until the fireworks show, so it's a pity to destroy the world now."
"That's true." Raphiel nodded in agreement. "Anyway, it's still a long time before we return. You still have time to consider whether you want to go to the water park."
"Let me state beforehand, whether you go or not, I will definitely go, and most likely Vigne and Satania will go too."
"I know, you don't need to talk about such things. Let's discuss it when the time comes."
"Um."
"In that case, Gab, please write your review. I'll forward these two letters to Vigne and Satania."
After leaving those words, Raphiel turned around and walked out of Gabriel's room.
"...I don't want to write a review at all! If only Kamikawa could write it for me."
As she said this, Gabriel came back to her senses and looked at the review she had just written, which wasn't many words.
"To go or not to go?"
Thinking about this issue, Gabriel wrote her review.
······
At the same time, in the human world, the Shinomiya Residence.
"Kaguya-sama, are you going out tomorrow?"
Hayasaka Ai looked at Shinomiya Kaguya who was rummaging through the dressing room, and inevitably asked this question.
According to what was known about Kaguya's schedule, she didn't have any business tomorrow, let alone going out. Logically, she didn't need to come to the dressing room to choose clothes.
And judging by the way she was searching in a hurry, it seemed like she didn't want to try on clothes as she went.
"No, I'm just making sure I have a yukata."
"A yukata?"
Hayasaka was surprised.
"Don't you have to wear a yukata when going to an event like a fireworks show? Hayasaka, don't you know this?" Kaguya said in a flat tone.
Although she had never watched a fireworks show before, she still knew this common sense.
Helplessly, Hayasaka said, "Of course, I know this, I just didn't think about what Kaguya-sama is doing looking for a yukata now."
"There are still seven days until the fireworks show, so of course, we need to make some preparations beforehand."
This was her first time going to a fireworks show, so she had to take it seriously.
"I understand. How do you ensure that, Kaguya-sama?"
The complicated seven-day timeframe was very suitable for making some preparations in advance.
"I couldn't find that yukata. Maybe I haven't worn it before, so I couldn't find it."
Because Kaguya had never participated in large-scale events like fireworks shows attended by many people and could easily affect her own safety, it could be said that she had never worn a yukata.
"Accessories like this yukata should be prepared for you... Here, I found it."
Relying on her intuition that often helped her choose clothes, Hayasaka just rummaged through two wardrobes and managed to find the yukata placed in the corner.
"...It's very plain."
Seeing the several yukatas Hayasaka had just taken out of the wardrobe, Kaguya didn't appreciate them much.
"That's true. Do you need me to prepare another yukata for you?" Hayasaka asked.
"No, I want to buy it myself."
After hesitating for a moment, Kaguya made a decision.
"Are you going alone?" Hayasaka continued, "In that case, I suggest Kaguya-sama invite Fujiwara-sama to go shopping together and buy yukatas along the way."
"Fujiwara-sama would definitely love to go shopping with you."
"I remember Fujiwara-san told me that she would be back soon and would attend the fireworks show... But, go shopping with her?" Kaguya was very hesitant.
She had never gone shopping with anyone else before.
"Of course, if you don't want to, I can accompany Kaguya-sama." Hayasaka said softly.
"First, send a message to ask when she will be back."
Therefore, Kaguya took out her old flip phone and sent an email to Chika.
Shinomiya Kaguya: [Fujiwara-san, when will you be back to Japan?]
Less than ten seconds after the email was sent, Chika's response came back.
Fujiwara Chika: [The plane will take off tomorrow and I might be back the day after tomorrow. Kaguya-san, do you want to meet me for something?]
After reading it, she pondered for a moment before continuing to type.
Shinomiya Kaguya: [I want to go shopping to buy yukatas, can you come with me?]
Almost instantly, Chika's reply arrived.
Fujiwara Chika: [Sure!!!]
