Chapter 263: The Night of Fireworks Display (4)
Since there were so many people here, I’ve been trying to not get lost, but I ended up getting lost anyway.
Just to be sure, I looked around the area once again, but I still couldn’t see Umi anywhere nearby. It seemed like I went in a completely different direction while absentmindedly following the wave of people.
Normally, I wouldn’t get lost as easily. Even if I were too tired to pay attention, I’d notice it if I went in the wrong direction. But, probably because of my short stature and the fact that I was surrounded by a lot of people, it was harder for me to notice the change in scenery.
While it was disconcerting to be out here all alone, there was no reason for me to panic.
Despite the crowds, my phone still had a stable reception. Also, I charged my phone before leaving, so I didn’t need to worry about it dying before I found the rest of the group.
I slipped into a small space between two stalls, took a deep breath and opened my phone.
[Maehara: Sorry, I got lost.]
[Asanagi: Maki, where are you?]
[Asanagi: Seriously, I let go of your hand for a second and this happens!]
