Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 49 Fireworks Fade Easily (Please Read On!)
If it weren't for the grand splendor before, Jun Matsueda wouldn't have felt that the Tama River was so deserted now.

Those disappeared lights and those burned fireworks will never come back, and the crowd on the river bank is at a loss.

Jun Matsueda knew that whether he liked it or not, he already had an exclusive memory with Tomatsu Tomoka that could not be replicated.

He had no intention of saying anything touching to Tomatsu Tomoka, nor did he have any resentful anger to vent. These were not what the girl wanted, so she said that just watching the fireworks once was enough.

All Tomatsu Tomoka wanted was just such an experience, a wish that all girls want to realize in their youth, which is enough for them to have happy memories of when they are old.

"Thank you for the yukata. If I have the chance, I will give you a gift in return." That's all Jun Matsueda said.

Tomatsu Tomoka was not surprised, as she now understood him better than before.

"I should thank Jun-kun for being willing to accompany me to watch the fireworks display."

Jun Matsueda shook his head and just said four words that embodied the essence of Chinese culture.

"It's all here."

The girl laughed at his complicated tone.

The two walked towards the wind band, picked up their instruments and school uniforms, and said goodbye to Tamagawa.

The girls should all be waiting on the school bus for the return trip, but when the two of them reached the afternoon lawn, some of them were still there.

Natsumi Imokawa, who was squatting in the corner guarding his position, huddled pitifully. In the center were the woman in a suit and the "sisters" of the Mochizuki family.

"Mom? Why are you here?" Tomatsu Tomoka's expression was a little surprised and a little flustered.

Jun Matsueda quietly distanced himself from Tomoka Tomatsu, even though they were not close to begin with.

The woman in the suit said softly, "I finished talking to a client, and thought you might come to the fireworks display, so I came to see you. I just ran into the girl in the Haneda uniform, and she said you were still here."

The woman looked at Matsueda Jun inconspicuously and said, "Hello, I am Tomatsu Yuka's mother, Tomatsu Miyuki."

Matsueda Jun put on a bright smile. "Hello, Auntie. I'm Matsueda Jun, the class monitor of Tomatsu-san, and a member of the school's news club. Today I'm here to accompany the wind band in a performance and to film a promotional video for the school's recruitment."

After the relationship, title, and mission were announced, Tomatsu Miyuki's expression softened. "Thank you for taking care of my Tomoka at school."

"No, Tomatsu-san is very outstanding in school and everyone looks up to her. I want to thank Tomatsu-san for her help and support as the vice-class monitor."

Mochizuki Haruka, who was standing next to them, had a blank expression on her face, but when she heard this, she frowned.

This was almost the same answer he gave when he first visited the Mochizuki family, only the names and identities were changed. It was a pity that she had been happy for a while because of what Matsueda Jun said.

"Matsueda-kun, it's time to go back with us," Mochizuki Hua interrupted with a smile.

"Tomoka, let's go home too." Tomatsu Miyuki reached out and took his daughter's hand.

“Okay~” Tomatsu Yuka smiled and took her mother’s hand. She had originally wanted to stay with Tsunku a little longer, but now she had to give up.

When the girl left, she looked back at Matsueda Jun, but Matsueda Jun didn't look at her and was chatting with Mochizuki Hana.

The three of them watched the mother and daughter from the Tomatsu family get into the car. Oh, and there was also Natsumi Imokawa in the corner, making a total of four people.

"What is Auntie laughing at?" Jun Matsue glanced at her. "Ms. Tomatsu seems to have a so-so opinion of you. You should take a better look at our Haruka." She bent down and hugged Haruka Mochizuki, their two beautiful faces squeezing together.

"By the way, isn't Matsueda-kun's attitude towards me a bit casual? Even Auntie has been invited?"

Mochizuki Hua pulled Matsueda Jun in front of her and looked him up and down. "I didn't look at your yukata carefully this afternoon. I like it very much, it's nice!"

Matsueda Jun stopped his aunt from touching him, called out Imokawa Natsumi from the corner, and the two of them got on the bus. When they passed by Yamami Maki's seat, the girl who looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko looked up at Matsueda Jun in his yukata.

"Why don't you take your luxury cars and instead take the school bus?" Matsueda Jun couldn't understand, as the school bus had already started.

Wang Yueyao sat behind him without saying a word, and Wang Yuehua next to her answered for her: "It's more interesting to follow you. I'm tired of riding in luxury cars, so riding in a school bus is also nice~"

Matsueda Jun asked Natsumi Imokawa who was sitting in the car with him: "Where is Yumi? I didn't see her in the car."

In order to ignore the gaze of Haruka Mochizuki behind him, Natsumi Imokawa had already turned on the camera, "Yume-chan went to set off fireworks with her friends, let's leave her alone."

The two of them looked at the crows fighting over coffee during the day. The aunt also came over, and only Mochizuki Haru was sitting in his seat with a stern face.

Her hairstyle today was a princess cut. After separating from Jun Matsueda in the afternoon, she changed into a yukata, but Jun Matsueda didn't even look at her.

The eldest lady's depression did not affect the joy of the wind band, and the school bus drove back to Mitaka through the girls' meeting.

A car on the other side of the road, exiting Chofu and venturing onto the E20 Central Expressway, was quietly chugging along. Tomatsu Tomoka rested her forehead against the rear window, the streetlights in her field of vision constantly being pulled backwards.

Although the fireworks display had just ended, she had already started to miss it. If everything went in the worst direction, then the fireworks at that moment might have been the sweetest moment in her life.

She had never thought about falling in love with someone else. Before she met Jun Matsueda, she had never thought about sinking to the bottom of the river of love and never seeing the girl in the white dress on the shore who watched love with cold eyes again.

"How do you feel about today's fireworks display, Youhua?" her mother's question interrupted her memories.

"Unforgettable, magnificent, romantic, and fleeting." Tomatsu Yuka said the last words very softly.

"Did you watch it with that boy named Jun Matsueda?" the woman asked casually, her fingers stopping tapping on the steering wheel and instead holding it.

"Yes, Matsueda-kun is a very nice person. I'm not feeling well, so I asked him to stay with me." Tomatsu Yuka thought for a moment and decided to reveal a little bit of the situation first so that her mother could gradually accept it.

"He seems like a very nice boy. Why haven't I heard you mention him before?" The woman tapped the steering wheel again, feeling a little more at ease.

"Mom, I haven't told you about the other classmates either," the girl said helplessly.

The woman smiled awkwardly. She remembered the name, Jun Matsueda. Her intuition told her that they would meet again.

The girl looked out the window again, towards the direction of the Tama River. Now there was only darkness.

After just a short separation, she already started to miss Jun Matsueda. She wondered if the boy she loved would also think of her on the road?
Tomatsu Tomoka was a little melancholy.

At this time, Jun Matsueda and his aunt were watching the couples being pecked by crows in the camera and laughing happily.
