"Waaah~ I want candy apples!"
"Oh, oh! Chocolate-dipped bananas too!"
"Wow, cotton candy!"
"Lillie-chan, let's buy some masks!"
Lillie let Haruka drag her through the bustling festival, hands already full of sweets.
This girl had lived in Japan her entire life, yet she was acting like it was her first time at a festival. Shouldn't Lillie and Ethan—as foreigners—be the ones excited?
Those two? Never.
Ethan followed behind them, effortlessly balancing a box of steaming takoyaki. Lillie had bought them earlier but had passed them off to him when Haruka pulled her toward another vendor.
The sight of the three together didn't go unnoticed. Their striking features and refined aura made them stand out among the crowd, drawing admiring glances. Especially Lillie and Ethan—they looked like deities who had descended to the mortal world for a rare night of leisure.
