Ryuji "It's about time."
Chizuru, Lucy, Ryuji, Haru, and Sugawara stare at them with smug and happy looks.
Lucy "Come on love birds. Let's get you in some cold water before you do something you regret."
She says while helping Shiori up as Haru helps Hikigaya.
Shiori "But.. wha?.."
She says as her eyes swirl a bit, confused and dazed. Lucy walks her to their bathroom as Haru, Ryuji and Sugawara lead Hikigaya to another room. Lucy turns on some cold water and hoses a now naked Shiori down in the tub. She shudders and shivers from the cold water being splashed on her.
Shiori "Sheesh, that works a treat, huh?"
She says while holding herself tightly in the cold water, shivering. Lucy steps out of the bathroom, closing the door behind her before looking at a small bottle.
Lucy "And with a little drop of this, her symptoms should be cured."
She thinks of Suiyoubi explaining it as Ryuji thumbs up holding another bottle.
Chizuru "That was a close one. Who knows what they were doing in there."
She says with a smile.
Lucy "Nah, they still had enough control, I'm sure. They wouldn't go that far in a dusty closet."
She says while walking over to the open secret closet before shutting it and adjusting to the right side.
Lucy "I guess Hikigaya's mom has more secrets than even he knows."
Chizuru "I guess so."
She says happily as Lucy turns and looks at her. Lucy then stops with a confused look as she stares at Chizuru's shoulder just by the base of her neck, revealed by the loose neck shirt she's wearing.
Lucy "Hey, you okay? Did you hit something earlier? What's with that bruise?"
Chizuru looks confused before realizing the bruise she has on her shoulder. She sweats a bit before turning around nervously.
Chizuru "Oh! Yeah, I guess so! You know how clumsy I can be!"
She says with a laugh before walking out of the room. A little later, Shiori and Hikigaya sit on the couch next to each other, much calmer than they were a bit ago.
Hikigaya/Shiori "Ah~"
They sigh in unison.
Haru "And here you go, my lady. One macaroni and cheese with bacon bits and parmesan, grated, not shredded."
He says while lifting her meal in front of her as if to be a fancy waiter. Shiori looks surprised.
Shiori "Thanks but.. How did you know I like it this way?"
Haru before nodding towards Hikigaya next to her. She turns and looks at him as he blushes and looks away embarrassed. Shiori blushes and smiles warmly while taking her meal.
Shiori "Thank you.."
She says softly. And the rest of the night went on without any more hiccups.
The next and last day of their trip quickly comes. Shiori and Hikigaya sit on the couch looking super drained of life and energy. Sugawara looks at them with a slightly concerned look.
Sugawara "Is this normal?.."
Suiyoubi "I think so. The love potion set their bodies into overdrive so if it did work then they'd certainly be drained. It might take days for them to recover."
She explains as Sugawara looks back at the two when suddenly Chizuru jumps on them happily.
Chizuru "Come on guys! It's the last day of our trip, you can't be all done yet!"
She says as she lays on their laps. Suddenly, the two of them snap back to normal.
Shiori "You know, that's a really good point."
Hikigaya "Why didn't we think of that?"
They say sarcastically before Hikigaya gets up, pushing Chizuru to the floor. He stretches his back with a still slightly tired face.
Hikigaya "I guess she's right. Might as well make the most of our last day."
Shiori stands and stretches her arm across her chest.
Shiori "I guess so. I'm feeling pretty back to normal anyway."
Suiyoubi "Already??"
She asks in shock. Ryuji pats her on the back.
Ryuji "They're barely human. You'll get used to it."
Chizuru raises her hand from the ground with a poster in her grasp.
Chizuru "Well I found something we could do."
She says from the floor. Shiori grabs the poster and looks at it before drooping a bit.
Shiori "A summer festival?.."
Hikigaya quickly grabs the poster from her with an excited look.
Hikigaya "Really? Main, that would be so fun!"
Haru "Games, prizes, food galore!"
They start dancing together, chanting about the food and games as Lucy approaches Shiori and Chizuru, who is now standing.
Lucy "We found it at the restaurant we got food from last night. Technically, I found it."
She quickly swipes the paper from Chizuru who giggles. Shiori sweats a bit.
Shiori "Does this mean I have to wear a kimono again?.."
Chizuru "Well duh, if you want to impress your man."
She says before nodding towards Hikigaya who gets slapped on the back hard by a smiling Haru in the background.
Shiori "I guess…"
Hikigaya then angrily punches Haru into the roof in response in the background.
Lucy "From the sound of it, I'm sure she did plenty of impressing with him last night."
She says with a smirk as Shiori freaks out and shushes her.
Shiori "Don't mention that!.."
She whispers aggressively as they giggle. Hisana turns and looks at Kitaro who is playing on his phone.
Hisana "Are you gonna ask me out under the fireworks?"
She asks with a smile.
Kitaro "No."
Hisana "Fine, if you insist, I guess I can ask you out instead."
She says with a bashful and blushy look. Alice approaches the three of them discussing the kimonos
Alice "I don't see the purpose of dressing up all fancy. I say let Shiori be free from those restricting clothes. The cute patterns and soft makeup and her hair being all put up with a cute little bag in her… soft… delicate hands…"
She starts blushing as she thinks of Shiori in the outfit before looking at Shiori. Shiori sweats a bit as Alice makes a silly face.
Alice "On second thought… get her!"
She shouts before Alice and Lucy turn and jump on Shiori. Chizuru looks at them before shrugging and smiling and flopping on the pile of girls.
Later, just as the sun begins to set leaving a beautiful red hue on the growing night sky, the group makes their way towards the summer festival. Large groups of people make their way through the stalls and across the fields playing games and enjoying their time. Hisana, Lucy, Chizuru, Suiyoubi and Shiori are dressed up in cute yukata along with Ryuji, Touma, and Hikigaya in their jinbei.
Hikigaya "We really had to get dressed up too, huh?.."
Haru "Hey, cheer up Hiki. You could be wearing one of those ugly outfits you always wear."
He says mockingly as Hikigaya growls and swings his arm back to hit him but Haru quickly dodges and runs away before noticing a fun game he wants to try.
Haru "Ooh! Baby, let's go try that one!"
He turns and picks up Sugawara in his arms before running off with him, Sugawara smiling and giggling in the process.
Ryuji "And there he goes."
Touma shakes his head a bit.
Shiori "Well I guess you're free to go. Don't forget our meeting point!"
She states to the group as Hikigaya freaks out a bit upon seeing her, covering his mouth and blushing intensely. Shiori notices and looks at him confused.
Shiori "What is it?"
He quickly looks away.
Hikigaya "It's nothing! Don't worry about it."
He looks back at her out of the corner of his eye ever so slightly with an adoring look.
Hikigaya 'I forgot how cute she looks tonight…'
He thinks as he watches her.
Hisana "Come on Kitaro, let's go follow them! Haru knows all the fun things to do!"
She says while dragging an unenthusiastic Kitaro behind her by his hand. Alice then walks by Shiori and Hikigaya a little ways away before noticing them. Her eyes shine as she rushes to them and falls to her knees before them.
Alice "You two look so amazing!"
She shouts as they look at her, sweating a bit. She clasps her hands together above her head and starts begging.
Alice "Please please please marry me! Both of you!"
She begs with cartoonish tears in her eyes. Shiori smiles in embarrassment a bit.
Shiori "No, that's okay. We're too young for that."
Hikigaya "You'll be okay."
As they tell her this, Shiori places her hand on Alice's cheek and rubs gently as Hikigaya does the same to the top of her head. Alice blushes and drools in bliss.
Alice "Ugh I'm in heaven…"
She says with heart eyes. As the group walks around the festival, they try different games and win different prizes as some just enjoy the atmosphere around them. Chizuru specifically makes her way to each and every food stall she comes across.
Chizuru "Oh! That one has grilled corn! I want some!"
She says before rushing to get one and quickly doing so. She nibbles happily before another catches her eye.
Chizuru "Kettle popcorn?? Count me in!"
She says before handing Touma the grilled corn cob. She munches on a few kettle corn before another stall gains her attention.
Chizuru "Even takoyaki??"
She says before giving Touma her food once again. She rushes back and forth between food stalls, each time handing Touma another piece of food for him to hold until both of their arms are full. Chizuru eats her yummy snacks with a satisfied look on her face.
Chizuru "So much good food!.."
She says with a mouthful as Touma sweats with an unamused look on his face and arms full of different foods. Suddenly, Chizuru lightly tugs his arm down a bit so he's leaning to the side before kissing him on the cheek. He is surprised and blushes a bit as Chizuru gives him a loving look.
Chizuru "Thank you."
She says softly with crumbs on her cheek. Touma blushes nervously before smiling and looking away with a nod.
