Chapter 6: My Fake Girlfriend Wears a Yukata for Me!

Sunset was soon approaching. The cool wind that blew through the lukewarm air at intervals of five to ten seconds felt good on my skin. It was the perfect weather for a festival.

There were crowds of yukata-clad youths walking in front of the station. With the start of the festival coming closer, there was an air of joviality in our otherwise unremarkable town.

These people were wasting their lives.

Until now, that would have been the first thing I would have said as I watched the lively townscape in front of me. Looking at their lives as a whole, temporary pleasures that fizzled away—like all this—was a loss. I would have watched them with a cold and indifferent gaze.

But I no longer had the right to criticize these foolish members of the general public, because...

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, I just got here myself.”

Mashiro and I met by the first floor of a multi-tenant building near the station and exchanged our stock phrases. Right now, there was nothing to separate us from the foolish general public. Anyone watching would have thought us an ordinary couple.

So, spy of Tsukinomori-san, if you’re watching, I hope you’re watching carefully. For once, I actually hoped we were being watched.

“Shall we go then? It’s...”

“On one of the floors above us.”

We stepped into the building through the narrow entrance. There were stairs, but they were blocked off by boxes. I couldn’t shake my concern for the fire hazard on display here as we walked to the tiny elevator together. We rode it up to the eight floor.

The sign read, “Imoko Yukata Rental.” It was packed full of young people, from our age up to college students.

Bodies, bodies, bodies, packed tightly together. All enthusiasm left me as I realized we were going to have to deal with these cramped conditions before the festival itself even started.

“This is crazy. Are we even gonna make it in time?” I asked.

“It’s okay, I booked in advance. They should get to us for our slot.”

“So most of these guys are just people who showed up on the day?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry, Aki. I don’t make the same mistakes dumb normies do.” Mashiro shot me a thumbs-up, the corner of her lip turning up somewhat smugly. She offered me her hand like it was the most natural thing in the world. “Let’s go.”

“Huh? R-Right...” She expected me to take her hand, so I did.

I-It’s so soft...

How many years had it been since I’d held hands with Mashiro properly like this? Her hand had always seemed so little when we held hands as grade schoolers. It didn’t feel that much bigger right now.

It made sense; we both grew at the same rate.

Mashiro led me along by the hand.

“E-Excuse me... We have a booking. Ah, sorry!”

It felt like we were swimming through a sea of people as we wove our way through. Mashiro was trembling and timid, but she opened up the path we needed. Her voice was small but assertive as she let others know of our presence.
