Mikoshi walk continuously through the streets.
Having finished their performance here, they headed off to the next location.
However, many tourists with smartphones were still following closely behind them.
Amidst the crowd, someone suddenly took advantage of Mido Orihime's momentary inattention to hand Natsume Chikage a flyer.
He froze on the spot, looked up, and saw Konoe Hitomi.
Konoe Hitomi wore a pink and white yukata.
Her usual ponytail was now casually draped over her left shoulder, and her exquisitely beautiful yet expressionless face seemed slightly softer than before because of this attire.
However, before Natsume Chikage could speak, Konoe Hitomi handed over the flyer and left.
Only before leaving, upon seeing Natsume Chikage holding Mido Orihime's hand, her expression seemed somewhat complicated.
Natsume Chikage felt a strange mix of emotions, but it was hardly the time to question the departed Konoe Hitomi.
He looked down at the flyer in his hand.
Game stall, fireworks at five----
Through this flyer, Natsume Chikage instantly understood that Konoe Hitomi was telling him they could go to these places.
"Orihime, do you want to go play the mini-games at the stalls?"
Mido Orihime had never been very clear about the lives of ordinary people, so she had no precise concept of what Natsume Chikage was talking about.
"Stall mini-games? What are these?"
Natsume Chikage thought for a moment and decided not to explain immediately.
"Just follow me and you'll find out."
Mido Orihime was rather curious, so she followed along.
A short while later.
The two arrived at the festival's game area.
Many couples were playing here, looking deeply affectionate.
However, Mido Orihime couldn't feel this atmosphere at all; after all, in her vision, she only saw distorted masses of flesh acting all lovey-dovey, making it truly difficult to feel anything.
