night.

After finishing his meal, Kiritani Tetsuya set off from his apartment and took the train to Jimbocho Station.

In his memory, Takehara Ryota's home was nearby.

They made an appointment to meet at the entrance of Kinka Park at eight o'clock. Kiritani Tetsuya, who arrived at seven-thirty, had no choice but to pick up the phone and dial Ryota Takehara's number.

"Ryota, I'm near your house."

Kiritani Tetsuya spoke as soon as he answered the phone, and while speaking, he looked around the surrounding streets.

"Okay, I'll go down right now."

Takehara Ryota's hearty voice came and he quickly hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, Takehara Ryota, wearing a refreshing sportswear, appeared from a residential building and jogged to Kiritani Tetsuya, holding a used paper shopping bag on his right hand.

"Zheye, this is what you want."

Ryota Takehara handed the shopping bag containing the Star Wars discs to Tetsuya Kiritani, and then looked at him strangely.

"By the way, why are you suddenly interested in these antique movies? I remember you didn't like watching movies before?" Ryota Takehara asked immediately.

"The neighbor kid asked me for it."

Kiritani Tetsuya shrugged and replied concisely.

"Okay, do you want to come up and sit for a while?"

Seeing this, Takehara Ryota didn't ask any more questions and stood on the side of the street with Kiritani Tetsuya with his hands in his pockets.

"Next time, isn't it about an exam? I have to go back to review." Kiritani Tetsuya declined politely.

"Hey, when it comes to exams, I start to get a headache. I feel like I won't be able to finish my review."

"Then what kind of fireworks show did you go to watch last night?"

"Watching fireworks is a compulsory course for couples, okay, Zheye, do you know what romance is?"

Takehara Ryota suddenly spoke excitedly, and did not forget to sigh after finishing his words.

"I believe that after last night's fireworks tour, Ling-chan and I's love will definitely become more pure."

"I only know that my love for you will become more pure during the summer vacation."

Seeing that Takehara Ryota fell into a state of narcissism for no reason, Kiritani Tetsuya said something sarcastically, and then said goodbye to him and left.

"Fireworks display?"

On the way back, Kiritani Tetsuya suddenly repeated this word to his mouth.

As one of Japan's most famous traditional summer activities, Tetsuya Kiritani, who has been in Tokyo for several years, has naturally been there once. He went there with his parents when he was in elementary school, and he bought the most luxurious viewing ticket.

Thinking back to those days, I still vaguely remember that I was sitting on a houseboat on the Sumida River and watching the gorgeous fireworks blooming from right above the river. The scene can simply be described as dreamy.

Especially at the end, the mother, who was infected by the surrounding atmosphere, even made a little joke on herself.

"Tetsuya, next time you watch the fireworks, you will be with the one you love."

"Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since I went to see a grand fireworks show."

Hearing the sound of fireworks coming from not far away, Kiritani Tetsuya counted them in detail with his fingers.

At this moment, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated several times.

Kiritani Tetsuya took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a message from Ibuki Tamao.

[Kiritani-san, would it be convenient for you to come to my place now? I have something very important.]

Sliding the screen, a new message box immediately appeared in front of you.

[If it is tonight, it may not be too convenient.]

Kiritani Tetsuya looked down at the shopping bag he was carrying, and then typed a reply.

[Please, Kiritani-san, this matter is really important.]

Ibuki Tamao quickly sent a new message, with a crying emoticon attached at the end.

[Okay, where are you? I'll go find you.]

After sending messages to Ibuki Tamao, Kiritani Tetsuya finally decided to take a look. After all, from the tone of the other party's words, it seemed that something was really urgent.

When he thought of this, Kiritani Tetsuya continued to slide his fingers on the screen, and it didn't take him a few seconds to find Utsunomiya Miu's account.

[I suddenly encountered something tonight, so I may have to go back later.]

Kiritani Tetsuya thought about it for a while and sent the message.

[whats the matter?]

Utsunomiya Miu asked almost as quickly as she replied.

[On the way, I received a message from a junior high school classmate, saying that he asked me for help with something urgent.]

After Kiritani Tetsuya finished typing these words, he read it several times to confirm that there were no obvious loopholes that could be exploited, and then pressed the send button below.

[What time will you be back?]

[Not sure yet, if it’s too late to go back, you should go to bed first.]

[What a disappointment.]

[Feel sorry.]

Subsequently, Utsunomiya Miu sent no new messages or questions.

Seeing this, Kiritani Tetsuya silently took back his cell phone, turned into the nearby tram stop, and planned to take the tram to the place Ibuki Tamao mentioned.

More than half an hour later.

Kiritani Tetsuya came under a building in Ningyocho Commercial Street.

"It should be right here."

After repeatedly comparing the house number next to it and the detailed address sent by Ibuki Tamao, Kiritani Tetsuya murmured to himself, and then wanted to walk in.

However, when Kiritani Tetsuya took a step with his left foot, his right hand was surrounded by a wave of warmth.

Turning around, Ibuki Tamao had arrived beside him at some point. He was clenching the palm of his right hand and staring at the entrance glass door in front of him without any disturbance.

Today, Ibuki Tamao is wearing a light aqua blue dress, lace white socks and a pair of women's round-toed shoes. The overall look is really good-looking.

"Ibuki-kun, it turns out you are already downstairs."

Kiritani Tetsuya was slightly startled by the sudden appearance of the girl, and then he recovered and spoke.

"No, I just arrived, and I bumped into Kiritani-san who was about to go up."

Ibuki Tamao said calmly.

After the words fell, the girl opened the door with one hand and began to lead Tetsuya Kiritani towards the inside of the building.

"So what is the important thing you want to see me for tonight?"

Looking at the beautiful figure walking half a body in front of him, Kiritani Tetsuya asked with doubts on his face.

"I plan to rent a small private studio nearby during this period. I just got the key tonight, so I would like to ask Kiritani-san to help me move some things into it."

Ibuki Tamao explained slowly, and soon took Tetsuya Kiritani to the third floor where the studio was located. You could see that near the end of the corridor on the third floor, there was a room doorway filled with various cardboard boxes.

"So you called me here tonight just to help me move your things in?"

Kiritani Tetsuya said with a little helplessness, obviously not expecting that the "very important thing" the other party said actually meant this.

"Because I will stay in the studio whenever I have free time, so I want to clean up the studio as soon as possible. After thinking about it, only Kiritani-san can help me with this."

Regarding Kiritani Tetsuya's slightly disappointed reaction, Ibuki Tamao still said in a calm tone.

At this time, the two of them had already reached the door of the room where boxes of various sizes were piled up.
