The fireworks began.
People gazed up at the night sky as the vibrant colors exploded, illuminating their faces.
Uesugi Sakura sat on the breezy riverbank with hands propped back, alongside Hanamaru Hanabi, Aei, and Chiaei, the three girls.
"Hanabi... do you believe in love?"
"I do believe."
"Is it beautiful?"
"It is very beautiful."
Uesugi Sakura asked, and Hanamaru Hanabi replied by her side.
Her voice had always been soft over the years, consistently responding to her own questions.
The fireworks blooming on the horizon touched the heart, and under the brilliant display, her sweet and endearing face was captivating. Uesugi Sakura watched her, and tenderness filled his heart, she who would call him Sakura-kun, becoming adorable in his presence.
She's wonderful.
"Hanabi."
Hanamaru Hanabi withdrew her gaze from the fireworks filling the sky and turned to look at Uesugi Sakura, who had his hands behind his back, hiding something.
"Is it a gift from Sakura-kun?"
