Turning his head away to the roadside stores and wooden houses around him, he notices as villagers eye his locked arms with Mizuki, staring briefly before averting their gazes again. Hinata bites back an awkward, childish grin at his accomplishment.
Sua leads them down the road to a store that reminds Mizuki of Naresh's roadside stall. It's a store built under a home, a selection of clothes hung on display on wooden poles.
Mizuki breaks out of Hinata's grip, jogging excitedly towards the store. She welcomes herself through the open door, letting out a gasp of awe at the gorgeous clothes presented on display for her to see.
Next to the store window, she gawks at two autumn-styled kimonos presented on mannequins by the glass, catching the curious gazes of passing strangers.
