Chika wants her to see fireworks

　　For Chika, fireworks are something she can watch whenever she wants.

　　Although tutoring in her family is stricter than in ordinary families, it is limited to game consoles and entertainment. Going out to attend celebrations and watching firework displays is not included in this. She often goes out with her family and classmates.

　　So she once thought everyone was like this.

　　...No, at least Kaguya doesn't have that freedom.

　　How many years had passed since she met her?

　　Chika always felt like it had been a long time since she had forgotten Kaguya's cold attitude, and she spent every day without a smile.

　　Over the years in the student council, her best friend had changed. She showed a sincere smile more and more often, and was more and more able to express the awkwardness in her heart.

　　Kaguya is her favorite friend, as long as she can smile happily like now, Chika will be very satisfied.

　　However, things that have not changed still exist...

　　Kaguya had never seen fireworks before.

　　Not through the TV, not through the window, not alone looking at the corners of the fireworks scattered among the tall buildings, but standing directly at the foot of the fireworks, screaming with my friends around me because of the loud sound of the fireworks.

　　Obviously she always wanted to watch fireworks, and she desperately ran away from home a year ago. She also worked hard to communicate with her family about the fireworks display in May, dressing up pretty and going out, hoping to create memories together with everyone.

　　As a result, there was no time and they had to squeeze in the car with everyone to watch the last few seconds of the fireworks, and the other was that it suddenly rained heavily and the fireworks were cancelled.

　　This is outrageous!

　　 Chika has a very keen observation of people's hearts, and she understands them very well.

　　Even if she didn't say it on the surface, after returning home, Kaguya must have felt depressed for not seeing the fireworks with her own eyes.

　　Chika does not have the ability to change the Shinomiya family's restraint on Kaguya.

　　She could only stand there, feeling unhappy and sad about what happened to her best friend.

　　It was the only thing she could do.

　　Even though...

　　She couldn't do anything.

　　Even if they were to graduate, they might never be able to go to the fireworks show with Kaguya again...

　　Chika, still wants Kaguya to see the fireworks blooming with her own eyes.

　　Shinomiya sea view villa, courtyard.

　　After an unknown amount of time, everyone had had enough to eat and drink, and gathered together in twos and threes, admiring the starry night.

　　Although there is a game room and home theater in the villa, there is nothing to suggest leaving the starry sky and returning home to rest. They live outside and enjoy nature with everyone.

　　Rui seemed to have integrated into the little sister group and was chatting casually with the other two girls.

　　With Moeha opening up the topic and Kei's straightforward personality, even Rui who wasn't good at interacting with others, became closer to them than in the morning.

Who knows what they were talking about, the three of them talked, looked at Shinichi from time to time with a slightly strange look in their eyes, and then whispered.

　　After Iino returns with Ishigami, it seems something has happened between the two. The atmosphere became awkward, but not like a fight. It's just that they didn't dare to look at each other and didn't want to be too far away from each other.

　　As for Shirogane and Kaguya, since the barbecue and feeding, the atmosphere between them had become increasingly ambiguous. It seemed like they had completely forgotten the purpose of this trip – Winning the war of love.

　　The two people were sitting side by side in the corner chatting with red faces. They wanted to pretend nothing had happened, but they were clearly stealing glances at each other.

　　No matter what boring topics Shirogane brought up, Kaguya nodded lightly and timidly.

　　Only Chika didn't notice anything, and the atmosphere wasn't good, she seemed to be thinking about something interesting, so she prepared to go over and talk to Kaguya.

　　Before that, Shinichi grabbed her head, turned it 180 degrees and dragged it to another corner.

　　"Fujiwara Senpai, a love detective with an IQ of 3, if you don't gain further enlightenment, one day you will be kicked to death by a horse."

　　"Why?! I didn't do anything outrageous!"

　　Chika looked at him as if she was innocent.

　　"I just wanted to mention the fireworks to Kaguya-san. For example, if I ask her if she has any regrets recently, if she just answers that she didn't see the fireworks with her own eyes, I can light the fireworks later and let Kaguya-san be surprised."

　　"Don't talk about setting off fireworks," Shinichi subconsciously increased the strength of his fingers.

　　Chika immediately screamed in pain and begged for mercy.

　　"I was wrong, I was wrong. Even though I don't know what I did wrong, I was still wrong. Stop…" Chika gave up struggling, "Wait a minute, I feel a little comfortable. Don't stop yet... No, try harder..."

　　Shinichi quickly removed his hand and wiped it on his shirt with a disgusted expression.

　　Is this girl really used to it? It seemed like he wouldn't be able to stroke her head next time...

　　"Even though I am humble and tolerant, and never discriminate against any race or sexual orientation, there are only three types of people I don't like – the first is perverts, the second is Fujiwara Senpai, and the third is pink octopus heads. Which one are you?"

　　"Don't I have all three?"

　　Chika covered her head and complained helplessly.

　　"I didn't say you were a pervert." Shinichi looked back, meeting Rui's eyes as she turned her head with a frown, and then looked back as if she hadn't seen him.

　　"Okay, let's get back to the topic. The ideas you just mentioned are not bad, but they need to be considered in the long term. Your methods will not produce any results."
