Invitation to the Festival

With the ID card holder, Akira had no problems entering the staff-only building.

Asking the passing staff, he arrived in front of one of the rooms.

To avoid the clichéd scene, Akira knocked on the door first.

*Knock Knock Knock*

"Mika, it's me."

There was a sound of footsteps from inside the room, then the door opened, and Mika pulled him in and quickly closed the door.

"You are like someone who is hiding." Akira scanned the room, which had piles of cardboard boxes.

"That's just Aki-kun's feelings, I'm not hiding from anyone."

It is a lie.

In fact, Mika is hiding. She desperately wants to meet Akira after her first concert, but Shiki and the others keep asking if her boyfriend is coming.

She didn't want them to know about Akira. Otherwise, she was worried that she would continue to be teased in the future.

Akira sees Mika lying and doesn't reveal it.

"Ahem, what about my appearance."

Playing with the ends of her hair, Mika asked with anticipation.

"Um, you are beautiful, Mika. Your performance on stage is also perfect. Look at this, I even bought your CD album."

"Thank You."

Seeing the CD album in Akira's hands, Mika felt joy.

"Oh, right. May I ask for a group photo? When you become a famous idol, I'm worried that I won't get a chance to take a photo with you?" Akira said while taking the phone.

"Even if my idol career is at its peak, I will not refuse an invitation to take a photo with you." Mika punches Akira's chest weakly.

"You said it. Don't go back on your words."

"Of course."

Akira set the timer, put the phone in the box, and took Mika into his arms.

Mika's body trembled, she didn't expect him to be so bold. But she didn't refuse, and her lips curled into a smile.

*📸*

The two of them took several photos, then Mika left because she still had other business.

"It's late, time to go home."

...

When summer vacation comes, there will be many festivals held all over Japan.

In Tokyo alone, every three to five days, there will be festivals held in different places.

Akira and the quintuplets will be attending the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival at the end of August. Also, except for Miku who doesn't have any friends, Ichika, Nino, Yotsuba, and Itsuki go to other festivals with their friends.

Maruo and Rena were no exception, both enjoying the festival undisturbed by their children.

Akira himself has gone to the festival with Tomohiro, members of Kiseki no Sedai, Miharu, Ako and Riko, and the Inui sisters.

In short, he is very busy at night!

Tonight, he had thought he would be lazing around or playing online games, but he received an invitation from an unexpected person.

"Shouko? She hasn't contacted me in a long time. I thought our relationship was over."

Seeing the name of the sender of the message, Akira was surprised.

Opening the message, he read it in no time.

To put it simply, Shouko had invited him to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival tonight.

"Too sudden... Won't Shouko be worried if I don't have some free time?"

Shaking his head, Akira changed his clothes.

Men dress up much faster than women. In less than 10 minutes, he was dressed neatly.

When he came down the stairs, only Miku and Itsuki were on the couch watching TV.

"Where are you going, Akira?" Itsuki asked curiously while eating the meat bun.

"Date." Akira answered briefly.

Miku's eyes opened wide, her heart filled with grievances, and she glared at her little brother.

"What's wrong, Miku? Do you have a stomach ache?"

Noticing her sister's strange behavior, Itsuki worries about her condition.

"No, it's just that I'm in a bad mood because of someone." Miku answered in a low voice.

Even though she knows their relationship can't be made public, that doesn't mean Miku doesn't feel anything when she sees her little brother dating another girl.

Akira: 「Don't put on a sullen face, it spoils your beauty.」

He used [Thought Communication].

Miku: 「Whose fault does Akira think it is?! Go have fun with other girls, don't come home.」

Akira: 「Jealous Miku-Nee looks cuter」

The way to calm an angry girl is to make her happy. This was Akira's accumulated experience.

And sure enough, Miku's face turned red. Hugging her knees, she buried her face so Itsuki wouldn't see her.

Miku: 「Guilty! Seppuku」

Akira: 「Midnight, come to my room. I will give Miku-Nee more pleasure than usual. 」

Miku's body shivered, her face as red as an apple, and she didn't dare raise her head. She knew what her little brother meant.

"What's wrong with you two?"

From Itsuki's point of view, the two of them just stood there without saying anything.

"There aren't any. Then I'll go first." Akira said.

"Be careful on the road, Akira." Itsuki reminded.

Miku glanced at him, but didn't greet him.

Putting on shoes, Akira opened the door, and walked into the elevator. Outside the apartment, the taxi he ordered through the application was waiting.

...

The Sumida River Fireworks Festival is one of the largest and most famous fireworks festivals in Tokyo, Japan. This festival is held annually in the summer on the banks of the Sumida River.

This festival is usually held in late July or early August and is one of the most anticipated summer celebrations by Tokyo residents and tourists alike.

When Akira got out of the taxi, he saw that there were already many people by the river. A conservative estimate, there are thousands of people.

(Could this be Shouko's test for me?)

Shouko doesn't reveal the meeting location, so it's up to Akira to find her.

If it were an ordinary person, looking for one person among thousands of people, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Is Akira an ordinary person?

The answer is of course no!

Little did Shouko know her childhood friend who was a fuckboy and a gigolo, was actually one of the strongest beings in the world.

[Universal Sense].

Akira's senses spread to cover five kilometers. Within that radius, everything that happened was clearly visible to him, as if he were right there. Even the ant colonies on the ground were not spared.

"Found her!" Akira smiled faintly.

"Hey, Onii-san, yourself? Want to play together? It will definitely be more fun than playing alone~"

Just as he was about to leave, a Gyaru girl approached him. Her actions were very flirtatious, and she was showing off her large breasts.

"Sorry, there's a girl waiting for me." Akira smiled apologetically and walked past her.

"Tsk, the handsome men have all been taken." The Gyaru girl clicked her tongue in displeasure.

Looking around, she searched for 'prey' that could satisfy her high libido.
