The Hashimoto Rena

Fireworks

In the afternoon Yusuke went to Rena's house. The festival will start at night, the luxury of which will be closed is the fireworks show. Rena looked at Yusuke in surprise as Yusuke was wearing only ordinary clothes, a white black striped baseball jacket, dark blue jeans. Yusuke was like that because he came from a very different place.

"Are you just like that, Yusuke-kun?" 

"Is something wrong Rena-chan?" 

"It shouldn't be like this, right?"

"You're beautiful today with a light blue Yukata, which suits you very well" Yusuke said. 

"Oh, don't start, you have to change your appearance!"

"Now?" 

"Yes, of course now." 

'I'm not used to things like Yukata …'

Rena's smiling mother whom she saw was overrated for her daughter who was very considerate of Yusuke, whereas Rena's father just watched without much comment. Dark blue in color with a circular gray color at the waist. Rena judged it too cool for Yusuke, like seeing a man who was not common in their country.

'He cheated, why, why are you so handsome!'

"It must be very strange, huh?"

"You wear it well, Papa would love to see you like this" Rena said.

"I'm so grateful to your father for lending me—" 

Rena who was too focused saw Yusuke combing her hair backwards. Rena nodded and nodded. 

"Papa will take it."

"Why do you see me like that? Am I handsome?" 

"Yeah..."

'Aah! This mouth is slipping!'

Rena timidly spoke.

"Today you're so handsome."

Yusuke.

"You're so pretty."

Tap, tap, tap. 

The sound of knocking on the door.

"Have Rena finished?" 

"It's over Maa..."

"If you have, hurry up." 

Rena's mother rushed back. 

'There's no way they need that long.'

"We have to get out soon, otherwise your mom and dad will get suspicious."

"Ah, should we hurry ... suspicious?"

As if there was smoke billowing from her head, Rena with blushing cheeks walked after Yusuke.

Rena's mother smiled happily, she clapped her hands twice and asked to rush to the car. Rena's driving father still doesn't say much, but she notices Yusuke.

In his journey only Rena and Yusuke talk more with each other, in contrast to Rena's father and mother.

Rena's father views Yusuke as a good young man. 

'They're dating would be very compatible, because Rena looks happy.'

To be betrothed as a husband, his father is not so sure because according to his father's investigation: Yusuke is just a student who only lives a day without his parents. 

A strong boy who could smile with a calm demeanor of suffering, his father Rena was amazed at that, but if Yusuke's future fell into ruin there would definitely be no blessing from him.

Yusuke sees their destination as a bustling place not far from the temple, many people sell as a tradition during summer festivals.

'It's more interesting to see it in person.'

Many stalls sell food at affordable prices for festival days. Yusuke avoided the children chasing each other. All he knew was that there would be something that many people like Takoyaki were most interested in.

Yusuke prefers to buy something refreshing because his first choice is a shaved ice called Kakigori.

"Yusuke-kun bought it? I bought Takoyaki." 

"You bought a lot, one's enough for us." 

"I like Takoyaki. I buy these two too, usually I buy three."

Because in his previous life Yusuke who was still Kim Chul, he was glued to see Karaage.

'Will it be the same as the fried chicken that I often ate in my previous life? The taste will definitely not be the same as fried chicken in K country, right?'

"What is Yusuke-kun?" 

"You eat Takoyaki very funny, like a rabbit." 

"Don't make fun of me, I'm not a rabbit."

"Then you look like a doe."

"I-I'm not a deer!"

Once they are satisfied eating with what they have bought. Rena rubbed her stomach, she felt full. On the way to meet Rena's father and mother, Rena approaches them and asks for permission to go with Yusuke until the festival's peak event ends. 

Time pass...

They meet Minami and Ayumi who are together and soon Takeru happens to walk towards them.

"It's a coincidence Rena-chan."

"Takeru-kun?"

Minami averted her gaze as she watched Yusuke and Rena join hands. Yusuke smiled, and saw Takeru lower his gaze.

'Are you sad that Rena chose more time with me? You're the only fool who ignores him.'

Yusuke invites Rena to go and say goodbye to the three of them. Ayumi looked at Minami who was smiling wryly like she was about to cry. The place Yusuke was looking near the temple was the same place from the game, not much different from the one he remembered.

"We're sitting on this bench?" 

"Look, isn't it here we can see better than people to see fireworks?" 

"It's so quiet here." 

 Yusuke whispered. 

"It'll be fun..."

Yusuke shifted his seat to get closer to the bowed Rena and squeezed her Yukata.

"What are you thinking?" 

"A-I don't think about anything," replied Rena who was pounding more and more.

"Don't be afraid, you don't have to be afraid in a lonely place." 

'What I'm afraid of. You're not this place…'

While waiting for the fireworks to appear, Yusuke does this; by starting a game of stares, the loser will be punished. Rena who did not want to get the punishment she thought it was her punishment might not be pleasant because Yusuke himself was very naughty when it came to punishing her.

The distance of their faces was getting closer, Rena did not want to be tricked because maybe it was a trick so that she lost her wink. Yusuke was closer, then Rena touched Yusuke's chest with both hands. 

"Stop, don't cheat Yusuke-kun." 

"I'm not cheating Rena-chan."

Rena blew slowly, Yusuke reflexively blinked his eyes.

"Eeh... I won? I'm winning?" 

"How could you cheat like that?" 

"Because there's a mosquito, so I blow."

Rena laughed happily at the thought of punishment for Yusuke, the biggest smile on Rena's lips.

"I've already decided on the punishment for Yusuke-kun." 

"You cheat, it doesn't happen if you cheat." 

Rena puffed her cheeks, she turned her face away. 

"You cheated too" he said. "It's not fair."

The sound of fireworks.

the sound of fireworks when shot -

The two of them were startled and realized that fireworks had been fired into the dark sky, they saw many colors adorning the night sky.

Rena smiled happily, she looked at it happily and said. 

"Very pretty..."

'She was beautiful as she smiled cheerfully like that.' 

"Yusuke-kun, have I determined your punishment?" 

"Huh, you still think about it?" 

"Next year you have to bring me here."

"Easy, I can do it, you have to give me a gift first." 

Rena blinked her eyes, she who was late realized that they were kissing now.
