How To Ruin A Love Comedy

Chapter 15: Summer Festival 2

***

Thank you Thank you so much

The orphanage director kept showing their gratitude.

After delivering not 30, but 40 boxes of Takoyaki, Miyuki and I were going to return to the shrine.

But turned our heads when we heard on a knocking sound on a window.

When I looked up to the 2nd floor, the little Takoyaki thief was quietly saying his thanks.

Brat Dont steal stuff from now on.

Actually, you can still steal, but only Miyukis stuff. So that you can get caught by me.

Its that kid from before isnt it?

Miyuki spoke as she waved to the kid with me.

You recognized him even though you only saw him for a second? You have a pretty good eye sight.

Yeah I think so too. But Matsuda-kun.

What.

How did you come up this? Matsuda-kun is usually very self-centred.

Now youre starting to make fun of me again.

I scoffed as I scratched my cheek.

Just that It was similar how they also didnt have parents What do you call it

Kinship?

Yeah. Kinship. I felt that. Is he going to be okay though?

What?

He must have had quite a huge loss. 40 boxes is worth 12000 yen.

My dad likes sharing things, so he wont think that it was a waste of money or anything like that.

Well thats a relief But I feel kinda sorry that I caused this to happen.

At those words, Miyuki stared at me as if she was trying to look straight through me.

I couldnt read what she was thinking from her expression at all.

She stayed like that for a while, then raised one corner of her mouth when she looked at my yukata.

Hey Matsuda-kun, did you finally die after eating too much junk food?

What are you talking about. Why are you saying unlucky things?

Sorry. But the right side of your collar is turned up. Thats how you dress the deceased.

Who in the world cares about that stuff

I do. Just stand still for a sec.

Miyuki moved up extremely close to me, and began to loosen up the obi that was holding my waist in place.

The sliding of the clothes sounds kind of lewd.

Taking off my clothes because she already wants to have outdoor sex.

Our Miyuki seems to have an exhibitionist fetish.

Later on it would be nice to have walk her naked near Tetsuyas house.

Fold the left side of the collar upwards and say it

I tasted the disappointment in my mouth once again as I followed Miyukis words.

It.

Miyuki looked back at me again and scoffed.

Its an annoying joke to react to isnt it? I also know that.

She shook her head as she neatly tied the obi.

I could have just done it myself, but looking at the fact that shes doing it for me, her opinion of me must have risen due to this event.

After finishing up, Miyuki checked the time on her phone.

We still have lots of time left to enjoy the event. Lets go quickly.

Dont you have to work at the stand?

I dont have to work. My dad said to enjoy the festival with you.

Yeah? Leaving your dad to work alone. What a bad daughter you are.

Where did you get that Akitori from earlier?

Shes now gotten to the level where she can change the topic naturally.

Im proud.

It was by the shrine entrance. You wanna go get some?

Sure. Isnt the weather really cool today?

Yeah. Kind of crazy that it just so happened to be like this on a festival day.

We conversed about random stuff as we walked down the dark road.

I, who was making jokes to Miyuki with my hand behind my head.

Miyuki, who laughed along then started an unfunny nonsense quiz.

The atmosphere is really nice.

I wonder if Miyuki is thinking the same thing?

**

I want the leg meat.

Wasnt the one I brought leg meat as well?

Thats correct.

Youre eating it again?

It tastes good. Matsuda-kun, what are you gonna have?

Chest meat.

Alright. Excuse me! Could we get two legs and two chests?

Miyuki ordered with a loud and cheery voice, and was pulling out money from a wallet that looked like a fortune pouch.

However, I paid first.

Miyukis eyes opened widely.

Ah I was going to buy it

I was just using spare change I had left. Dont worry about it.

Still Ill buy the next food then. Thanks.

Do as you like.

But Matsuda-kun. Your yukata doesnt look like it has pockets. Wheres the money coming from?

Are you curious?

I put on a mischievous expression.

Miyuki slowly looked up and down at my yukata, and slowly opened her mouth.

T-Thats not No way right?

Her eyes were focused on the lower half of my body.

To specify, she was looking for my underwear, which obviously couldnt be seen from there.

I clicked my tongue then spoke.

Did you think I pulled out the money from my underwear? I was wearing shorts underneath. Wanna see?

Miyukis face immediately went red as she slightly tucked her head.

N-No I was also thinking that

It was cute seeing her with red ears and being all panicky.

Uh huh Why dont you just admit it?

I have nothing to admit so how can I admit anything

Dont you have a guilty conscience?

. Haah

Miyuki let out a huge sigh as she admitted the truth.

Matsuda-kun usually talks very dirty, and had a weird expression just then Of course I thought it was like that

Do I normally talk about pulling out money from my underwear? You were the one talking about not having prejudices

N-Not a prejudice it was a stereotype Anyways Im sorry. I thought wrong

Well I wonder if you were actually wrong?

When I asked with a smirk, Miyuki was once again dumbfounded.

What?

Im kidding. Why are you so naive?

Matsuda-kun. Its not funny at all.

Miyuki sounded like she was sulking.

I laughed as I grabbed the Aykitori that was cooked during our conversation, and handed two to Miyuki.

Afterwards, I walked with her to the inside of the shrine.

Thats when I, who was enjoying the time I was spending at the festival with Miyuki, met an unwanted guest.

Tetsuya, who was looking at the simple parade made by the shrine, spotted Miyuki.

Miyuki!

The bastard called her name and walked quickly towards her.

Miyuki greeted Tetsuya with a huge smile.

Tetsuya-kun! Are you enjoying the festival?

Yeah. But where were you? I went to uncle Watarus stand, but the covers were up, so I was getting worried. Why didnt you respond to my texts?

Ah I was busy so I couldnt check my phone. Sorry Tetsuya-kun.

Nah. What were you busy with?

Ill tell you later. Its a long story.

When Miyuki quickly glanced at me, Tetsuya also followed suit and looked at me.

He was visibly surprised.Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only

Did he just notice that I was here? If thats the case, hes an actual bastard.

Tetsuya was unable to speak for a second before he managed to ask.

Matsuda youre here too? When did you get here?

A long time ago.

Really? Did you just meet with Miyuki?

So youre conscious of me.

Hes speaking as if hes unconcerned, but its easy to tell.

Hanazawa will tell you later.

Oh Is that so? Are you enjoying the festival?

Its not bad.

Right?

What do you mean right, you fucking leech.

I have to get rid of him quickly.

I tapped on Miyukis shoulder, and pointed towards a sign where a lot of people were crowded.

Yo, Hanazawa, do you know how to pick up gold fish?

I know how to do it.

Ive never done it in my life, so can we try right now? Come teach me how to do it.

Really? Then lets try it. Then Tetsuya-kun, have fun with your family. Later on, Ill contact you so I can say hello to your parents.

At those words, Tetsuyas face was filled with panic.

While I was having a celebration among celebrations inside.

It must have been shocking that Miyuki sent him away to spend time with me alone.

If you really think about it, it was an obvious outcome.

Tetsuya was not a part of the orphanage event, and spent time with his family.

Taking into account Miyukis personality, she would not want to take away from that time.

The affection points Ive been building up likely had a part on Miyuki saying something like that.

Ah Ok I understand.

He weakly tried to say something but didnt say it in the end.

Cowardly bastard This is why it cant be you.

If I were you, I would have squeezed in to block the two of us being alone together.

**

You spent 1000 yen and yet you didnt even end up catching a single gold fish?

Miyuki who was waiting at the middle of the shrine waiting for the fireworks, spoke.

I scratched my head as I muttered.

Who wouldve thought the net would break that easily?

Who was the one that didnt listen when I said it was made of thin paper?

Be quiet. Its annoying thinking about again

I munched on the candy apple.

Miyuki covered her mouth and smiled.

Her eyes that turned into a crescent moon shape was weirdly sexy.

You had fun right?

Somewhat.

You had fun playing the whole time, and now youre being mean? Was it because it was hard to walk with the gate on?

Maybe thats it. Im never wearing these again.

When you wear it for the first time its like that. When you get used to it, youll enjoy it because it feels cool. (Note: Shes talking weather wise not like Bad ass or whatever) Oh yeah, I was super surprised today.

Why? Because I was so bad at catching gold fish?

No Not that. I really didnt think Matsuda-kun would care about the orphanage kids. It was unexpected, and now Im seeing you in a new light.

Suddenly, Miyuki started complimenting me with a serious tone.

I feigned embarrassment by rubbing the bottom of my nose with my finger as I spoke.

I was being nice because I felt sorry for them.

You said you felt a kinship with them. You dont remember?

Nope.

Dont you have a guilty conscious?

Returning my words from when I was buying the Yakitori. Well done.

What should I do? I dont feel anything at all.

Liar.

How would you know if Im lying or not?

I just know.

Lets stop talking about this pointless stuff and look at the fireworks.

The fireworks havent star

Woosh!

As Miyuki was about to retort jokingly, a firecracker flew high in the sky.

And with a loud BANG! sound, the white fireworks exploded everywhere.

At the same time, many people gathered at the shrine shouted in unison, TAMAYA!

It was an old traditional Japanese chant.

Miyuki, surprised by the unexpected timing of the fireworks, pouted at missing the opportunity at saying the words. It was cute.

After the first firecracker, many followed in rapid succession.

Seeing all kinds of colours explode and light up the sky wasnt half bad.

Whoa!

Miyuki exclaimed, unable to take her eyes off the sky, completely forgetting about not being able to say tamaya.

Every time the fireworks go off, I can see the side of her face, and its captivating.

I want to leave a hickey on her slender chin and neck.

Its really pretty Dont you think so Matsuda-kun?

Miyukis question woke me up from my delusions.

I didnt respond and only looked at Miyuki,

Matched the timing of Miyukis eyes looking over to me, turned slowly towards the sky and opened my mouth.

Yeah. Very pretty.

I spoke like that so that she would be confused on if I called her, or the fireworks pretty.
