"So what exactly is it—"

"Fireworks Festival."

Ian replied.

"Aren't you curious about what the 'fireworks festival' that Okita and I talked about earlier is?"

"Now... you have the chance to see it."

"Eh?!"

Kondo Isami's eyes widened.

It was obvious that she had not expected this to happen.

"There was no notice at all before, right?"

"If there was a notification, it wouldn't be a surprise~" Souji Okita grabbed Kondo Isami's hand.

“Let’s go——!”

[It must be said that the Okita family is top-notch when it comes to organizing large-scale banquets like this.]

[In just a few days, they had already mobilized nearly all the citizens of Qingye City to participate.]

【Everywhere you look, there is the atmosphere of the fireworks festival.】

[That was something you had fantasized about many years ago.]

"..."

The pale yellow firelight shone through the paper wall onto Kondo Isami's face, making his dark skin appear pale yellow.

The girl's eyes were filled with the street that never fell asleep after dark, along with all the sounds of communication, which were all open in her heart.

“This way—!”

"Let's go get the goldfish!"

Kondo Isami's playful nature was fully aroused in this atmosphere.

Also becoming active was Okita Souji.

"Saizo——!"

"Come on!"

"The goldfish here are so pretty! Come over and help us catch them!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

I have to say that Ian's talent in this kind of thing is still top-notch.

In no time, he caught all the goldfish that the girls liked.

only--

Before he could hear the praise from Okita Souji and Kondo Isami, he found that the two had given up catching goldfish and started cheering in front of the candy stall.

"Saizo——!"

"Here, come over here and give me the money!"

This time, the person who shouted was Kondo Isami.

Ian was stunned at first, but he quickly accepted it.

"There's really nothing we can do about you..."

"coming--!"

This was an extremely pleasant time.

Both Ian and Okita Souji saw another side of Kondo Isami at this moment - she was not as reserved as they had imagined, but rather a lively girl by nature.

"call--"

As if in revenge, Kondo Isami took the things that Ian paid for and belonged to him and started to eat them with relish.

"Hehe~"

The girl said this as she bit off a bunch of meatballs.

"Today, Sui San is bleeding!"

"..."

After saying this, Kondo Isami suddenly realized that he shouldn't say such a thing, so he quickly pretended that he hadn't said anything and swallowed hard.

As she swallowed, she felt that it was becoming more and more bitter...

so bitter……

There's no way I can swallow it.

But at this moment——

Souji Okita suddenly grabbed Kondo Isami's hand and shouted loudly.

"The fireworks are coming—"

"Eh?"

Before Kondo Isami could react, he heard a whooshing sound in the distance.

Fireworks rose up, blooming with colorful colors in the dark night sky.

"what--"

“It’s time to make a wish!”

Souji Okita clasped his hands together and began to make a wish.

"I heard that if you make a wish at this time, it will be especially effective."

Seeing her like this, Kondo Isami hesitated for a moment and closed his eyes.

only--

At this moment, she really didn't know what kind of wish she could make or what kind of wish she should make.

But at this moment, the girl suddenly heard a voice coming from her ear.

That was Okita Souji's heartfelt prayer.

"hope--"

"I can be friends with Sui San and Xiao Yong for life."

"..."

Kondo Isami opened his eyes.

She couldn't believe what she just heard.

Even at this moment, Souji Okita was still thinking about the relationship between the three people.

"Okita..."

"Eh?"

The girl slowly opened her eyes, then waved to Ian on the other side and said;

"Go buy us some dumplings?"

"it is good."

After confirming that the man had gone far away, Okita Souji grabbed Kondo Isami's hand and spoke again.

"I think you heard my wish just now."

"But... that's not acting, it's my true wish from the bottom of my heart."

"What's your true wish...?"

As Kondo Isami read this word, his eyes trembled slightly.

And Okita Souji gently wiped away the tears that were about to flow.

"Yes, that's my true wish."

"Although in the past, there may have been things between you and Sui San that you couldn't tell me, or other things that were difficult to talk about."

"But that doesn't matter—"

"I won't care about that, nor will I think you are redundant because of it."

"because--"

Souji Okita looked directly into Kondo Isami's eyes.

"Xiaoyong is our friend."

“Maybe it wasn’t before, but it is now and it will be in the future.”

"so……"

"Let's go together!"

"Let's go to Kyoto together and start our new life - Toshinari and I can't live without you!"

"..."

Kondo Isami was completely stunned.

She didn't know whether Okita Souji understood the despicable behavior of taking advantage of the situation that night.

but……

She still considered herself a good friend, even in this moment of giving up on herself.

Tick.

The moment the fireworks rose, tears fell to the ground.

"I……"

"I don't want to be left behind by you either--!"

"I want to go to Kyoto with you too!"

Fireworks are blooming.

The girl's wails were also drowned out.

[Three days later, through her own efforts, Kondo Isami obtained her own Menkyo Kaiden from Kondo Shusuke.]

This is a different faction from your "bear" and Okita Souji's "wolf."

[She is a reborn "Eagle", flying once again at this moment.]

【Your Kyoto life is about to begin! 】

869. Okita Souji's Trip to Kyoto / The Chaotic State of Kyoto (4k)

On the way to the ferry.

Ian, Okita Souji, and Kondo Isami were walking side by side.

There was still some time before they arrived there, so the three of them started chatting at this time.

"Speaking of which-"

"Okita."

Kondo Isami looked at the girl on the other side of Ian and asked.

"Can you take out the knife that Master gave you and have a look at it again?"

"Of course you can!"

While answering his good friend, Okita Souji untied the sword at his waist.

"Give."
