*yawn*
Ae Rin wakes up earlier than Kyou and has a cool, relaxing bath before going to the kitchen and preparing breakfast for themselves.
"I guess brother has already left for his next trip. God...when will he ever get a holiday?" She sighs and smiles sadly as she notices a small note stuck on the fridge which says 'I'll be back tomorrow night. Eat and rest well! Don't stress yourself too much. Love you.'
"Oh, you woke up early today." Kyou comes out of the room and stretches his arms.
"I was preparing breakfast and....it's done!" She said as she grabbed the tray from the counter and makes her way to the dining table.
"Thank you for the food!" Kyou said as he digged into his plate.
After having breakfast, they sat in her room and chatted, watched movies, etc. till it was 4:30 pm in the evening.
"It's 4:30 pm now. Shouldn't we go get prepared for the festival? We can't be late, you know. They will be watching us." Kyou said to Ae Rin as he got up from the couch.
"Yeah, right. Hope YOU are ready on time." Ae Rin smirked and stood up.
Kyou rolled his eyes and went back to his room.
"Let's see...what should I wear? There's skirt, trousers, jeans and shirt, and a dress...hmm...I guess I will go with the dress since it's spring." She said as she fumbled through her closet, grabbed the dress and quickly slipped into it.
The dress was white with different colours of printed flowers on it. It had half sleeves and reached till her ankle. She put on a tinge of blush and strawberry lipstick to modify her looks. Her hair was tied into a high pony tail, showing off her glowing complexion.
"All done!" She thought to herself as she smiled satisfyingly before looking at her reflection in the mirror one last time and walking out of her room.
As she made her way out of the room, she was slightly surprised to see Kyou finish up before her.
"You're late." Kyou smirked.
Ae Rin smiled playfully and walked out of the house.
As soon as they were out of the house, Ae Rin felt the presence of those men from the organisation but pretended she didn't know anything.
"They still don't trust Kyou enough to let him lead me to the festival alone. Such liars. I don't think they will let him go even after he finished the task. I can't trust a word those scoundrels say." She thought to herself while looking out for more observers.
After a 15 minutes walk, they finally reached the festival. It was decorated with countless balloons, banners and the entire area was lit by lights. They entered the huge area filled with different types of stalls and had some delicious meatballs before wandering and roaming around the area.
Those men kept popping out of nowhere to watch them and made themselves look much more obvious and suspicious in front of the people around them.
"Such idiots. To think that I wouldn't see them." Ae Rin sighed and shook her head in disappointment.
"Hey, let's go to that comic stall. I wanna see the latest collections." Kyou said as he grabbed her hand and marched towards the stall in the distance.
"H-hold on a sec! What are YOU doing here!?" Kyou's eyes grew wide in surprise and he stopped in his tracks.
Ae Rin's eyes follow in the direction where Kyou was looking and saw a guy with black hair approaching them with a grin. He seemed to be the same age as both of them and had great sense in fashion, judging by his outfit.
"Hey! What are yo-? Huh? Who's this pretty girl? Your girlfriend?" The guy said as he approached Ae Rin and examined her from top to bottom.
"Ah, she? She's a friend of mine. Her name is Ae Rin. Ae Rin, this is Ryouta, a close friend of mine." Kyou smiled and introduction them to each other.
"A friend, huh? Nice to meet you." He winked flirtatiously at her.
While on the other hand, Ae Rin's face darkened at his behaviour and she glared at him coldly.
"H-ha..ha ha... doesn't she look like a demon straight out of a movie or something?" Ryouta forced out a wry smile after realising that he lost his chance with the absolutely gorgeous girl in front of him.
"That's BECAUSE she is a demon and you're annoying her more now! If looks could kill people, then this dude would be dead by now." Kyou thought to himself and sighed.
"Nice to meet you, too." Ae Rin smiled darkly.
"Eh...yeah..Ok, I will see you guys around. I, uh, I gotta go somewhere." He quickly ran away after making up an unconvincing excuse.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the comic stall? let's go!" Ae Rin turned to Kyou with a cheerful smile and dragged him to the comic stall.
"Oh god...how does she change so easily? She really is a demon." Kyou thought to himself.
They spent the rest of the time visiting different stalls and watching the fireworks together.
