138 – Natsumatsuri, Opening!
Time has passed since the Kosanke meeting ended.
Hyunjin normally spent time working at the Lionheart Mansion.
I was fiddling with the villa key I received at the Gosanke meeting and thinking about when to go.
After visiting the villa once, time passed and the Natsu Matsuri approached right in front of her.
The Natsumatsuri before summer vacation ends.
Hyunjin made an appointment, but for some reason, she felt uneasy.
Why is she insecure?
It was because of Hyunjin’s intuition that something would happen at Natsumatsuri.
“Hyunjin, why are you so late? You know that a man who makes a lady wait is not attractive, right?”
“Sorry, lady. We will be leaving soon.”
“Anyway! Get ready quickly and come out!”
Amelia grumbled and went ahead.
‘Surprisingly difficult to wear…… ?’
Hyunjin muttered to himself as he put on the costume for the Natsu Matsuri.
Compared to women’s kimono, it would be relatively easy to wear, but it was true that it was extremely difficult.
Watching how she wears traditional attire on her smartphone, she followed slowly.
Hyunjin somehow clumsily imitated and put on the costume.
She took one look in the mirror, but all she could do was quickly dress and tidy up.
When I went out wearing a slightly baggy outfit, Amelia was waiting outside.
“Oh, I told you to come out quickly.”
“There is plenty of time until the appointment time, but…… “
“But, if you and I go together, they’ll think it’s strange!”
Amelia was strangely conscious of her.
The slight reddening of her face indicated this.
Seeing that, Hyunjin approached Amelia and put her hand on her forehead.
“You don’t have a fever.”
“Ji, what are you doing!?”
“Maybe you have a fever…… If I have a fever, I wonder if I should cancel the appointment.”
“If I have a fever…… ?”
“Yes. I thought it was absurd to go and have fun by myself when the lady is sick.”
Hyunjin said in a calm tone.
However, Amelia wasn’t like that.
There was a big difference in the direction each other thought of.
Hyunjin meant purely caring for Amelia, and Amelia thought it was about her affection, because she was playing her drum and janggu by herself at the same time.
‘Hyunjin is me…… It’s right that you like it, right?’
Those were the things Amelia felt while living with Hyunjin for over six months.
A feeling like affection that is closer to innocence than black heart.
But she was shy, and there was also something that she hadn’t been able to say before.
Even if I did, most of the situations Hyunjin didn’t notice.
Amelia thought right away that she could keep Hyunjin tied to herself because she was working as a servant, but she thought that aside from that, she might not be any better than the other competitors around her. .
Ohana was a girl who was innocent and stimulating men’s feelings, like a squirrel.
Ayako was like that too. She definitely appealed to herself more than Amelia or the daughters of the same high family.
She didn’t have a good feeling about Tsubasa, but thanks to the Kosanke meeting she had recently, she got to know her.
It was the same with Kanade and Aisha. Although she looks innocent, she was seen as trying to stealthily by sneaking past the fish shop like a stray cat.
Amelia thought as she recalled the enemies around her. She said she shouldn’t be careless.
She wanted to put a restraint on Hyunjin, telling her to treat the women clinging to him coldly. She wanted to tell Hyunjin not to go somewhere.
However, I thought it would be very embarrassing for a lady in power.
Fair and fair. Since that was the greatest virtue the Lionheart family thought of, Amelia could hardly restrain Hyunjin’s kindness.
Her feelings as a young girl and a lady from a prestigious family coexist and then start to collide.
‘Am I hoping for Hyunjin?’
Amelia looked into the eyes of a man standing in front of her own.
She tried to read his emotions as usual, but she couldn’t read his emotions anymore.
Hyunjin still had words of concern for him and warm feelings, but Amelia muttered to herself nonetheless.
‘Has it changed?’
Amelia caught all of her feelings about being messed up.
What is the best way to express this feeling?
Is it an exclusive desire for something you can’t have, or is it a possessive desire that you don’t want others to take away from you?
She also had thoughts about wanting to be loved and not wanting to leave her side.
On the day her Hyunjin proudly declared that she would become her own knight, Amelia’s heart was shaking little by little.
It was Hyunjin who spoke to the confused Amelia.
“I don’t seem to have a fever. Let’s go.”
“…… Is it so.”
Amelia and Hyunjin went to the place where the Natsu Matsuri was scheduled to be held, while controlling her emotions.
***
The first to arrive at the meeting place were Hyunjin and Amelia.
We were supposed to meet near the station, but we arrived too early.
Of course, Aisha also rode with us.
“Oh! Is this a festival?”
“No, not yet. Not everyone got together.”
“I am curious about Japanese festivals! Everyone wore pretty clothes! Me too!”
Aisha said, waving her arms beside her.
“Anyways, Aisha…… Wouldn’t it be nice if you behaved inappropriately too?”
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
“I mean behave yourself!”
“I don’t understand what you mean!”
“Haa…… “
Amelia sighed as she looked tired of Aisha’s words.
While Amelia was talking to Aisha as if she were disciplining them, one by one they began to gather at the rendezvous point.
Ohana also wore a simple kimono, even if it was informal, and Ryunosuke and Soju also wore a simple kimono.
Ayako and Tsubasa were pretty well dressed, and Kanade had the feeling of coming out wearing the kimono she wore at the Seven-Five-Three Festival event.
“Everyone is gathered!”
It was Ohana who spoke first.
“I haven’t done much, but summer vacation seems to be ending quickly.”
Ryunosuke grumbled.
“Still, it feels good to be together like this!”
Sojuro raised an objection to Ryunosuke’s complaint.
“Everyone, do you have any concerns?”
“Ummm…… No, I never really thought about it. I thought it would be nice to just walk around and play.”
When Ayako asked, Amelia gave an appropriate answer.
That moment.
“No, Natsumatsuri is the way to enjoy it!”
Hyunjin, who usually shows more moderation than exalted feelings, opened his mouth excitedly.
“Tongue, Hyunjin?”
“It would be rude to come all the way to the festival and enjoy it!”
Hyunjin’s words were right.
But there is only one reason Hyunjin is excited.
You can directly enjoy the Natsumatsuri you saw in the anime!
Of course, there would have been plenty of opportunities to enjoy it in real life, but this case was different.

Natsu Matsuri with pretty girls!
If there is someone who dislikes this situation, Hyunjin pondered, thinking that it would be impossible unless he entered the realm of Buddha-like Nirvana and his goal was to practice asceticism.
‘It’s a reasonable statement.’

No matter what you do, it is important to act with a plan.
Acting by chance means not having a plan, and most of the time you choose the wrong option.
While thinking about that, Hyunjin hesitated for a moment.
‘Until now, I…… You made a plan.’
Of course, not all plans were always successful.
Sometimes it slipped, and there were times when it developed differently due to outside intervention.
I wondered if it was right to come up with a plan in this situation.
‘About today…… I’ll be fine.’
If it’s a festival, you have to enjoy it, isn’t that what party people are?
Thought so, Hyunjin opened his mouth.
“Today, why don’t we all go around and have fun together as we go?”
Everybody nodded at Hyunjin’s suggestion.
“Well, it’s a festival, but it doesn’t matter what you do. It’s enough if you do it all.”
“You don’t have to worry about money.”
While saying that, Tsubasa waved the handbag she was holding.
As if Amelia and Ayako agreed on this point, they simultaneously took out her purse.
‘Are you making a resolution under the cherry blossoms? … ‘
It’s summer, so there are no cherry blossoms, though.
Hyunjin grumbled inwardly.
“Then, why don’t we go shooting first?”
“Me! Me! I want to catch a goldfish!”
“I don’t know anything!”
“What about going to see the mask first?”
Without planning, opinions quickly diverged.
Hyunjin thought in such a mess.
As expected, it would be better to make a simple plan…… Do.
