Chapter 26 - 26: All Of Them (1/2)

”Waaahh~ I want candy apples!”

”Oh, oh! Chocolate dipped bananas too!”

”Wow cotton candies!”

”Lillie-chan, let's buy some masks!”

Lillie let Haruka drag her around the crowded place, her hands full of sweets.

This girl was born and lived in Japan all her life and still she looks like it's her first time in a festival. Shouldn't Lillie and Ethan be the one who's excited?

Those two? Never...

Ethan followed behind them while holding a box of steaming takoyakis [1]. Lillie bought them before Haruka pulled her to different vendors. She let Ethan hold them for a while.

People couldn't help admire them. Those three are out of this world gorgeous, especially Lillie and Ethan, they looked like deities who've come to the mortal world to have fun.

Finally stopping in front of the masks vendor, Haruka bought three. She gave the fox mask to Lillie, the oni [2] to Ethan, while Haruka had the hannya [3].

Haruka picked the hannya mask on purpose because it described how she feels right now.

Just you wait, Lillie-chan, I'll find myself a man soon!

Ethan putted down the box at the side and helped Lillie put on her fox mask.

'Click!'

Someone secretly took a picture of this intimate looking couple.

”It suits you.”

”Thank you.” Lillie shortly replied. Ethan gave the box of takoyaki back to her so she can finally enjoy them.

”Let's go find a good spot, the fireworks will show up soon.” Haruka clapped her hands and pulled her once again.

Ethan sighed, he wanted to spend his time with Lillie alone. Even though he's grateful to Haruka for inviting him, he still cannot stand her 'stealing' his wife from him.

”This place looks good.” Haruka said and leaned herself on the cherry tree. Sadly, the cherry trees already bloomed on May.

Ethan removed his haori [4] and placed it on the patch of grass so that Lillie's yukata won't get dirty.

Nodding in appreciation, Lillie elegantly sat down. Ethan casually sat next to her, closely.
