I Became Friends with the Second Cutest Girl in My Class (WN)

After the twenty minute break, they finally started to shoot the second batch of fireworks. As planned, the remaining three thousand fireworks would be set off simultaneously.

Compared to the first batch, they’d be adding more variations to the fireworks. There’d be ones that would resemble particular well-known characters and various other shapes that’d keep the audience entertained.

During the thing, somehow, Umi found me with my mouth half-opened again. It felt embarrassing. I thought I was a changed man after the first time, but it seemed like I was still the same old me.

“…Everything will be over soon, huh?”

“Mhm. Time went by quickly.”

Currently, there were only around a hundred fireworks left, waiting to be shot. Those were a special arrangement of fireworks (they were called star mine) that would serve as a signal of the festival’s end.

It made me wonder what would happen next year. If they were to hold another festival, I guess they’d be holding it here again, but by that time, maybe not all of us would be able to come to see it again.

After a brief pause, the remaining hundred or so fireworks finally hit the night sky, lighting it up with colorful lights, followed by the loud sound of explosions.

“Let’s come back here again next year, Umi.”
