Chapter 52: Fireworks Festival (END)
Previously, because Ayaka wanted to buy a takoyaki, they eventually looked for a stall that sold the takoyaki. However, because the conditions at the festival are very crowded ahead of the main fireworks event. Finally, Russell tells Ayaka to wait first, while he goes to buy Takoyaki for Ayaka.
However, when Ayaka was waiting for Russell who was buying takoyaki. Suddenly, three teenagers emerged from the crowd.
"Only alone?" Say one of them
"E-hhh..." Ayaka
"Let's come with us, go around the festival." Say one of them
"I'm sorry, I'm waiting for someone." Ayaka
"Who the hell? I've been following us." Say one of them
"E-eh. g-no need.." Ayaka
"Here are you coming?!" Say one of them while pulling Ayaka's arm.
"Eh-?!" Ayaka
.
Suddenly from the crowd...
*BRUAKKKK
"MUCH..!!" Said one of the teenagers who was hit by Russell.
"Ru-Russel?!" Saying the surprised Ayaka
"We need to get out of here, if they can't catch up with us." Russell
"Emm-i-yeah.." Ayaka
Russell lunged at the teenagers. Then he pulled Ayaka's arm, and carried her away to a safer place, away from the crowd at the place earlier.
.
When they get to a safer place.
"Are you okay?" Russell
"What a hell, thank you for coming to save me." Ayaka
"Well, good thing I came at the right time." Russell
"Y-yes.." Ayaka
"Hmm.. If so, what if we go up there?" Russell
"Ehh. could be.." Ayaka
"You see the fireworks from up there, it'll be better, you let's go there." Russell
"Yoo.." Ayaka
.
.
.
Just a few steps they were walking towards the top of the hill, suddenly...
"Whoa! My geta (Wooden slippers) broke up.." Ayaka
"Eh?! So you can't walk the road. Your foot will be hurt." Russell
"It's okay." Ayaka
Russell crouched down to Ayaka.
"Eh-?" Ayaka
"Well, let me carry you." Russell
"Ehh. but.." Ayaka
"What's wrong, the main fireworks show is about to start. We gotta hurry up there." Russell
"E-emm.o-okay.." Ayaka
.
After Ayaka climbed onto Russel's back, they began to climb up the hill to watch the fireworks show that had already begun.
"Sorry because I'm a gini.." Ayaka
"Nothing, you took me to this festival yesterday. So we have to have fun now." Russell
"Emm.." Sayaka slowly
.
After some time climbing the stairs made of rocks, they finally reached the top of the hill. Fireworks that have begun to be launched adorn the dark night sky.
"Finally, too.." Russell
"Y-yes.." Ayaka
"Hmm. there's a chair turned out. So we're sitting there, right?" Russell
"Bo-can.." Ayaka
.
Finally they both sat in the chair, while observing the ongoing fireworks show.
"Hahh.so nostalgic of childhood." Russell
"It's so beautiful.." Ayaka
"Yes.When I was a kid, I definitely went to the fireworks festival. Then, just as the fireworks launch event is gini, usually I look for places higher so I can observe the sky more widely." Russell
"Hmm. from up here is also a very good view." Ayaka
"Eh? What's?" Ayaka
"This, takoyaki earlier. fortunately can still survive the contents, even though the box has been destroyed gini." Russell
"Wahh. ma-thank you.." Ayaka
"Not a problem.." Russell
"You want to, you can take it.." Ayaka
"Eh? O-okay deh. thank you.." Russell
"Y-yes.." Ayaka
.
"Hmmm.." Russell seemed to be enjoying the fireworks.
"Thank God.." Ayaka
"Eh? Why?" Russell
"Thank God you can enjoy the festival." Ayaka
"Hmm, yes, thank you for taking me to this festival." Russell
"E-don't really." Ayaka
.
After that they both watched the fireworks show until it was over.
"Hahh. finished the show." Russell
"Hmm. it's getting late too. I think we should go home soon." Ayaka
"Yes, so let me anterin you go home." Russell
"E-uh? Don't do it.." Ayaka
"What's up, let's go up again. Your parents will be worried." Russell
"E-o-okay, yeah.." Ayaka
.
In the end, Russell took Ayaka to his house.
"Hmm. so exciting today." Russell
"But no doubt, summer vacation is over." Ayaka
"Yes yes, I hope next year we can go to the fireworks festival again." Russell
"Y-yes.." Ayaka
.
After walking for some time while chatting, Russell finally arrived at Ayaka's house.
"Well, it's over." Russell
.
"Ayaka? Uh-uh? Sleep on?" Russell
.
Because Ayaka is asleep, So Russell knocks on the door of Ayaka's house and her father opens the door and holds Ayaka to his bedroom. Afterwards Ayaka's father thanked Russel for accompanying his daughter during today's fireworks festival.
Then, at last in the late night, Russell walked alone to his house...
.
.
.
"Hahh.. finished also summer vacation this year.yahh..meet you next year, summer vacation..." Russell
.
.
.
Finished already Fireworks Festival in summer vacation this time...
The fireworks festival also closed the summer vacation of Russel and his friends this year...
.
The surprise happened when Russell was buying a takoyaki, and Ayaka was waiting alone. Suddenly three teenagers came to him, and took him away together to tour the festival.
But Ayaka refused because she did not know them. Unexpectedly one of them even pulled Ayaka's arm forcefully. Immediately Ayaka was frightened, and from behind the crowd suddenly Russell appeared and lunged at the teenagers to fall.
Then Russel took Ayaka away from the place, but in the middle of the journey geta (wooden sandal) belonging to Ayaka suddenly cut off. And that caused Russell to carry Ayaka up the hill that was not too high, because the view from above was very beautiful to watch the fireworks that had begun earlier.
After a while, finally the fireworks launch was completed. In the end, Russell carried Ayaka back and drove her home.
Then Russell returned home when the time was late, and because of this tiring day, he fell asleep.
.
.
.
The Fireworks Festival, as well as the Summer Holidays have been completed...
Tomorrow is the first day Russell and his friends go back to school after a long holiday, and they must prepare for the cultural festival that is about to begin.
