Ended here for a while

　　Chika turned her head away and pretended not to see him.

　　Shinichi took a match, stroked it very slowly, but it failed to ignite, and after the second time, the match broke again.

　　He stared at his right hand in horror, as if considering whether to cut it.

　　Chika peeked at him.

　　Even though her heart was full of reluctance, Chika couldn't sit still watching Shinichi in trouble and the voice of "teach him" kept appearing in her heart.

　　However, if he is the same as the president... If she wants to teach the fool, that is the irreversible Shura road...

　　Chika held her head and screamed. "Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!! "

　　Chika stared at the aliflower in her hand, and finally remembered that she had dragged Shinichi to set off the fireworks.

　　"Ha... Asada-kun, it's better to have an angle when striking a match—"

　　"Fujiwara Senpai, help me." Shinichi handed the matchbox to her.

　　Chika was stunned for a moment.

　　"I? Haven't you learned how to light a match? Not burning your life just to light a match, and desperately improving your lighting skills to avoid losing face…"

　　"What are you talking about..." Shinichi scratched his head.

　　"Well, I will study when I have time." Shinichi clicked his tongue, "I know myself, but now, it's better not to waste time."

　　Chika was touched, and patted his on the shoulder with tears in her eyes, "Yes... It's good to have self-knowledge! I hope that men all over the world are like Asada-kun, who can admit defeat at their own shortcomings, not hurt others, and fight in areas where they can't!"

　　"I didn't say I would admit defeat, but I just struck a match. I'll buy ten boxes to train my hands when I get back." Shinichi dodged his hand, "Okay, hurry up and light the fireworks. I still have to do something later."

　　"Yeah, set off the fireworks~" Chika showed a childish smile, lit the two fireworks, then waved them like a child who got a new toy.

　　While laughing and running wildly, Chika suddenly stopped.

　　"Attention, watch me draw Kamen Rider!"

　　Her hand instantly turned into an afterimage, and an orange-red glow gave off a human-shaped pattern in the air.

　　Fortunately, this is only an outline, not too detailed... Otherwise, Shinichi would have wondered if she was really human.

　　It's impossible for humans to draw Kamen Riders in the air with fireworks.

　　"This is really interesting..."

　　Shinichi saw his fireworks, and sparks bloomed.

　 Shinichi drew something like a dog's head in the air.

　　"Asada-kun, what is that?"

　　"Vtuber who looks like a fox is actually a cat..."

　　"Hah? No, humans can't draw such complicated things with fireworks..."

　　"Shut up for me."

　　...

　　After playing all kinds of fireworks, the two squatted side by side, lit the fireworks, watching the faint little fireball burst into orange light.

　　"Didn't it rain heavily on the day of the shrine festival? I heard that the person in charge didn't handle the fireworks in time. As a result, most of the fireworks were submerged in water. As a result, the postponed fireworks festival cannot be held."

　　"Too bad."

　　"Yeah, originally I wanted to go out with everyone again… Looks like we can only wait for the summer festival," Chika pouted.

　　Summer Festival..

　　What a shame… After all, they had just met each other, and the time to part ways was approaching, which made his complain about why he had joined the Student Council so late.

　　Seniors only have one year left in their school life. After December, the current Student Council will be officially disbanded. Everyone has their own business, and time to see them will be much less.

　　Such a future will come sooner or later, but thinking about it now, Shinichi still feels a little lonely.

　　The fewer people you know, the more weight they will have on your heart.

　　Shinichi laughs at this discovery.

　　"They seem to want to sell all the remaining fireworks. They say that different festivals should use different fireworks, and summer festivals should use fireworks dedicated to summer festivals. Everyone agreed with this idea, and as a result, no one wanted to buy second-hand stuff like this… Well, Asada-kun listening?"

　　When there was no response, Chika glared at him.

　　Still drowning in complicated emotions, Shinichi averted his gaze, and smiled faintly at Chika.

　　"Yes, what is up?"

　　His voice was soft, regretting the friendship that would soon pass.

　　Chika stared blankly at his face, her face flushed indistinctly, then looked back nervously, her hands shaking unnaturally.

　　"No, it's fine... Why do you look so happy?"

　　The small fireball finally fell, and Shinichi glanced at the useless piece of paper, and threw it into the bucket.

　　Some existences, if no one ignites it, no one will notice its brilliance.

　　Although thrown away like trash after being lit, the warm light of the fire makes it transcend past and future, illuminating the present.

　　"Happy, because the fireworks are so beautiful."

　　Whether it's two people, or five people, fireworks have become a very dazzling thing.

　　Shinichi smiled and started packing his things.

　　"Thanks, Fujiwara Senpai, for the remaining fireworks, let's find some time to light them another day."

　　Her own little fireball also fell, but Chika didn't see it. She just looked at Shinichi again, and also showed a happy smile.

　　"It's finished!"

　　"At that point, I should call the president and the others… Just get each bag filled with fireworks, and have a fireworks display for the student council by the beach."

　　"Ah, um, of course! I will tell the president and the others!"

　　"Why do you have pity…"

　　"No, it's gone! Asada-kun is blind!"

　　"Why do you suddenly hate me…"
