Chapter 164: 105. Summer Festival (3)_2

The lights of the vendors stretched endlessly until the end of the road.

It seemed that all the excitement and lights of Tokyo had settled here this evening.

"We should probably start exploring now."

"You invited me here, so you’ll be punished if it’s not fun."

"I’d die before I’d dance!"

"Your body isn’t up to you to decide."

Hand in hand, the two headed towards the night market.

Drawing lots, grilling corn, scooping goldfish...

The shouts of the noodle stall owner; the child at the octopus dumpling stall, stomping his feet from being burned by just-cooked balls...

Jiutiao Meijie’s wooden clogs clicked crisply on the cobblestone as she walked.

"What would you like to eat?" Dubian Che asked.

"Um... let’s go with this," Jiutiao Meijie pointed at the cotton candy stall.

It turned out she was just interested in the process of making cotton candy.

After consuming two bites and deeming it too sugary, she handed it over to Dubian Che.

"Let’s go for shaved ice, it’s a bit hot to be wearing yukatas in this weather," she said, looking towards a nearby shaved ice stall.

"Yes, sure."

Jiutiao Meijie chose a blue Hawaiian flavor, while Dubian Che initially wanted strawberry but, reconsidering with the cotton candy in his hand, decided against it.

"600 yen!"

"Here you go."

After paying, Dubian Che glanced at the stall owner who began preparing their order. He took a bite of his cotton candy, his attention caught by the neighboring stall selling masks.

"Oh!" Dubian Che took a few steps and eyed the array of masks on the wooden display.

Wearing a gorilla mask, the stall owner said, "Each for 800 yen!"

Jiutiao Meijie glanced briefly, "What’s the fun in these toys?"

"You just don’t get it. Boss, give me the ’Card Face to Fight’ one!"

After getting the mask, Dubian Che put it on his face, cotton candy posed at chest level: "The boss makes his entrance!"

"Wow!" Some boys nearby and a little boy gave a ’ten out of ten’ look for the pose.

And Jiutiao Meijie wore an expression like she was looking at an idiot.

In this respect, surprisingly, she and Kiyono Lin agreed.

"Isn’t it cool? It’s ’Card Face to Fight’!" Dubian Che asked incredulously.

"It’s not about being cool, it’s just ugly," Jiutiao Meijie with her arms crossed.

"I don’t believe you aren’t thrilled!" Dubian Che shifted the cotton candy to his left hand, his right hand raised towards her, "Meijie, your smile will be protected by me! Anyone who harms you will not be forgiven! Transform!"

Jiutiao Meijie turned her head back towards the shaved ice vendor, "Hurry it up."

"Right, right, coming up!"

"..."

"Don’t be like that! I, no, the mask will be sad! Boss, I’ll also take this fox mask! Here, Meijie, let me put it on you."

"Take it away, I don’t want it, it’s hideous."

Dubian Che, after some struggle and hugging, finally managed to put a white fox mask on Jiutiao Meijie. However, she refused to wear it on her face, reluctantly agreeing to wear it on one side of her head.

After receiving their shaved ice, the two, now masked, watched children scooping up water balloons for a while longer.

The big basin was filled with colorful, various balloons, each attached to a slender string.

Children used the hooks provided by the stall owner to catch their preferred balloon, and if successful, they could take it home.

But with the hooks so small and the strings near invisible, to the patience of children, this was definitely a profitable business.

"Small profit, not worth it," Dubian Che commented, after which Jiutiao Meijie remarked,

"...I was just chatting with you, not discussing making money."

"Here you go."

Watching Jiutiao Meijie walking towards the octopus dumplings, Dubian Che, having finally finished his cotton candy, took over the remaining half of her shaved ice.

He scooped up a big spoon of shaved ice and chewed it.

"Nice and cool!"

After finishing the shaved ice, Jiutiao Meijie holding a box filled with octopus dumplings said, "Want to try one?"

"No need," Dubian Che looked around, "I’ll buy grilled corn; I prefer that."

While Dubian Che was enjoying his corn, Jiutiao Meijie, after eating two dumplings, said, "Swap with me, I want your corn."

"Why?"

"I’m tired of octopus balls."

"Not what I mean. If you want corn, we could just buy some, no need to eat what’s left over."

Jiutiao Meijie smiled, not a trace of humor, "So you’ve been thinking of everything I gave you as leftovers."

"No, that, this..."

While Dubian Che was hesitating, Jiutiao Meijie thrust the box of dumplings at him and snatched the corn from his hands.

"Mmm," Jiutiao Meijie nodded, "Not bad, indeed the best when snatched from someone else’s hands."

’Conversely, eating someone’s leftovers must be the worst bowlful,’ thought Dubian Che.

Dubian Che reached out to wipe a corn kernel stuck at the corner of Jiutiao Meijie’s mouth.

’However, seeing she’s a beautiful girl, I’ll pretend to enjoy it.’

Jiutiao Meijie rolled her eyes at Dubian Che, who was munching on the corn kernel he’d taken from her mouth.

Walking intermittently, they bumped into many classmates from Goda High School, even a few girls from the Wind Instrument Club, still in their school uniforms, carrying their instruments.

They must have run here right after practicing at school to attend the summer festival.

"Continuing training even during the Obon holiday, that’s impressive," Dubian Che remarked as they passed by.

He thought: Recognizing others’ greatness is also part of my own greatness!

’It’s been a long while since I’ve said that, kind of miss it.’

"Really?" Jiutiao Meijie responded noncommittally, "Considering their skill level, wanting to get into nationals, this amount of effort is needed."

"That’s true. There’s a shooting game over there, let’s give it a shot!"

"No."

"Why not?! Three shots are 300 yen, but ten shots only 700 yen! I guarantee a prize worth 7000 yen, making tonight’s activities profitable!"
