Fireworks Launched into the Sky

Xue: ...

Ramona: It's started.

Koyomi: Yes, the view is quite good from here.

Lilja: The birds in the shrine grounds guided me. They said this spot is a hidden gem.

Hikari: As expected of Lilja-san! You can even talk to animals.

Ramona: Perhaps because she grew up in the wilderness? I thought it was fishy, but...

Lilja: It's up to you whether you believe it or not.

Hikari: Hyuu~! Ta~maya~!*

Hikari: It's so summery and wonderful!

Hikari: Hey, this is the best, right? Summer fireworks!

Ramona: Ah, indeed. It's a typical summer tradition. Japanese festivals are truly amazing!

Ramona: By the way, shouldn't we film this too?

Hikari: I forgot! I had the camera with me.

Hikari: Um, um... Xue! I'm going to film the fireworks, any specific requests?

Xue: ...

Hikari: C-can I shoot freely? Hey, Xue?

Xue: ...Beautiful.

Xue: ...

Xue: Amazing...

Hikari: Ah...

Hikari: Yeah, you're right. The fireworks are really beautiful.

Hikari: (I'll make sure to capture lots of Xue.)

Hikari: (Oh, right. Let me also capture her figure...)

Hikari: Hehe. Let's make lots of memories.

Koyomi: The fireworks have ended.

Ramona: Yes. There were so many types, and they were powerful. It was a perfect way to end the festival.

Lilja: It was beautiful... I want to see it again next year. I wouldn't mind seeing it tomorrow either.

Xue: ...It's over.

Koyomi: Don't feel too down. You can see it again next year.

Xue: It's not that sad. I was… a little moved, though.

Koyomi: Could it be that, this is your first time seeing it?

Xue: No, it's not the first time, but...

Xue: It might be the first time I watched it so calmly.

Xue: Summer vacation is the time to make money. Even if I come to the festival, I'm usually on the selling side.

Xue: I wasn't… used to enjoying the festival this much.

Koyomi: I see.

Ramona: So, that's why you seemed bewildered at first.

Xue: But, to be so absorbed in watching the fireworks and forget about filming.

Xue: I messed up at the end. I wanted to show those fireworks to everyone back home.

Hikari: Then it's okay! I filmed it! Look, look!

Xue: Really...!? Thank goodness.

Hikari: Xue looks great too! You should send this to your family to watch!

Hikari: I'm doing great too~! Look here!

Ramona: Wow! As expected of you, Hikari. You captured Xue's figure really well.

Xue: Hey, you filmed me more than the fireworks halfway through.

Xue: Well... thanks, Hikari.


*An old Japanese custom, you yell "Tamaya!" when a firework goes off.
