After the skylight was fully opened, Iihe Takuto squatted down and spoke to Ayumi, who was curious about what was happening outside.
"Do you want your brother to pick you up so you can see what's outside?"
After saying that, Iiji Takuto turned to Mitsuhiko and Genta on the sofa and said, "If you two want to watch too, wait a while."
"What can you see?" Ayumi was still a little confused.
"You'll see for yourself." Iiji Takuto smiled, pointed upwards, and said mysteriously.
It wouldn't be fun if I told you beforehand.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, big brother." Ayumi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded out of curiosity.
"It's alright." After smiling at Ayumi, Iihe Takuto stepped onto the table, bent down and picked her up. Then the two of them leaned out of the open skylight.
Because the campervan was still moving and not very slowly, the wind it generated made Ayumi squint as she poked her head out.
"Alright, little one, look for yourself." Takuto said to Ayumi, watching the fireworks bloom in the night sky.
After adjusting for a while, Ayumi slowly opened her eyes, her mouth slightly open, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
"It's fireworks, fireworks!"
"I want to see it too!" Genta said impatiently, seeing the occasional flashes of light outside the window and imagining what fireworks looked like.
"We can't see anything because the mountain blocks our view," Ayumi said with a hint of regret, her smile fading.
"Alright, let's go back to the car," Iihe Takuto said to Ayumi, seeing that the fireworks were all blocked by the mountain.
"Um."
Hearing what Takuto Iihe said, Ayumi could only nod. Before getting back into the car, she glanced one last time at the night sky where the fireworks had just been displayed.
"What a pity, I wanted to see it again." Genta looked up, watched the skylight slowly close, sighed, and said.
The campervan was only so big, and everyone else could hear Genta's regretful words. Fukuura Reiji, driving the car, smiled and comforted him.
"It's alright, once we reach the top of the mountain, we'll be able to see very clearly."
With that, Reiji Fukuura pressed the button again and closed the sunroof.
"Fireworks..." Guangyou turned his head to look out the window. Although the fireworks were blocked by the mountains, he could still occasionally see a bright light flashing behind the mountains.
Suddenly remembering something, a smile appeared on Guangyou's face.
Previously, when he was on a date with Ai, an unexpected event occurred, causing their supposedly romantic plan to watch the fireworks to fall through.
That fireworks display almost cost him his life.
I originally planned to take Ai to Osaka to make up for that fireworks festival later, but it hasn't been time for Osaka to hold a fireworks festival yet.
There's no news of any fireworks festivals being held even near Tokyo, so the plan to catch a fireworks display has to be put on hold for now.
I never expected to find it here.
Although it's not large in scale, compared to the hundreds of thousands of people who watch fireworks in Osaka, it's still a fireworks festival.
As for those grand fireworks displays, I'll take Ai to see one another time to make up for the regrets left by that date.
This trip was definitely worthwhile.
At that time, Haruka asked him if he wanted to go together. If he had refused, he would have only heard the sound of the fireworks but not seen them bloom.
Just as Kōyū was thinking about these things, Reiji Fukuura, who was driving, suddenly shouted, slammed on the brakes, and jerked the steering wheel.
"Ugh!"
Upon hearing the voice, Guangyou snapped out of his daze.
Then, a screeching sound of brakes came from outside the car.
In addition to the ear-piercing friction sound during emergency braking, there is also the enormous inertia generated during emergency braking.
Due to inertia, everyone inside the car was thrown uncontrollably to the side.
Fortunately, Guangyou reacted quickly. When his body was about to fall to the side uncontrollably, he grabbed the edge of the table with his hand.
This prevented him from falling to the ground.
Just as the campervan came to a stop, Guangyou's back accidentally brushed against the edge of the sofa, and a slight pain came from his back.
This made Kwang-yu frown.
"What are you doing? This is dangerous!" After the car came to a complete stop, Iihe Takuto walked to the driver's seat, frowned, and said in a reproachful tone.
"If you accidentally bump into something, it will be too late!"
"What happened?" Haruka Tenka came up to ask what was going on.
Faced with Iihei Takuto's reprimand and the two men's questions, Fukuura Reiji looked through the car window at a dark figure on the road ahead, swallowed hard, and said in a somewhat panicked tone.
"I...I think I just knocked something over in the middle of the road."
After he finished speaking, Iiji Takuto suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a strange feeling swirled in his heart. Then he looked at the road ahead.
Although it was already night, the three people next to the driver's seat could see a dark figure in the middle of the road under the illumination of the campervan's headlights.
Because the campervan had collided with the dark figure earlier, the dark figure flew forward several meters.
Even with the car lights on, the group still couldn't make out what the dark shape was.
All they knew was that the dark figure didn't look like anything small.
Suddenly, something occurred to the three of them, an idea they didn't want to believe quietly surfaced in their minds...
"Could it be...?" Haruka covered her rosy lips with her hand, her otherwise pretty face filled with terror.
Beside her, Iihei Takuto's neck stiffened like a rusty machine as he turned his head to look at Tendo Haruka, who had uttered those words.
Then, he and Haruka Tendo both lowered their heads and looked at Reiji Fukuura, who was driving.
At the same time, Fukuura Reiji, whose forehead was already covered in cold sweat, slowly turned around and looked at the two people behind him.
Although Fukuura Reiji didn't say a word, his terrified expression made the two people behind him feel as if a chilly wind was blowing from behind.
Perhaps this is a kind of tacit understanding.
Aside from Haruka's question, "Could it be?", the three of them barely communicated, yet they all seemed to be on the same page.
One of them is still missing...
I haven't replied to her text messages, nor have I seen her anywhere...
That person has been gone for a long time...
Looking out the car window at the dark figures on the road ahead, Fukuura Reiji swallowed hard again, his face turning pale.
It wasn't cold inside the car, but he felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Or... let's get out of the car and take a look," Iai Takuto said slowly to the two people beside him, taking a breath.
“Okay.” Fukuura Reiji’s gaze was fixed on the dark figure in the middle of the road. He took a breath, calmed himself down a bit, and nodded.
