Chapter 262: The Night of Fireworks Display (5)
As more time passed, more people got into the train. I had expected this to some extent, but the amount of people still exceeded my expectations. When the train arrived at our drop-off station, both the platform and the entrance were filled to the brim with people.
Normally, there would be way fewer people than this, but then again, this was my first time going to a firework festival. I guess this many people were normal?
“Alright, let’s get off first. Seki and I will go out first and the rest of you will follow behind us. Don’t get separated from us, okay?”
“Reiji, you’ll stay in the middle, okay? Maki-kun, I’m sorry, but please watch our backs.”
“Okay. I’ll do my best so I won’t get separated from everyone.”
The moment the train’s door opened, the wave of people pushed us from behind. Riku-san and Nozomu, who were a head taller than everyone, led our group at the forefront, followed by Reiji-kun, Shizuku-san, Umi and Nitta-san. Meanwhile, I was at the very back.
We followed the attendance’s instructions to walk slowly to the ticket gate.
“Whoops!”
As we were walking together like that, someone suddenly shoved me from behind and I almost fell on everyone’s back. While ‘walking slowly’ was an easy instruction to follow, when there were this many people, it became quite a challenge to not have accidents like this.
