The next day's sun arose, and Eadlyn had gir up from his bed, a little excited, it's because today was the promised date he and Sayaka had discussed to meet to go together for the festival happening in the nearby neighborhood.
So Eadlyn got up and freshed up, had his breakfast as usual, and the day went by and it was afternoon, and Eadlyn got ready in his grandpa's yukata. Looking at Eadlyn he looked like a divine young boy, a foreigners wearing a yukata and looked so bright that others fade up in comparison.
He left for the station a little early, as he wanted to be like the protagonist who shows up early and tells the girl tht he came just now. But contrary to his expectations, Sayaka was dressed in pink laced yukata, and boy even Eadlyn was dazed looking at her beauty, no wonder the whole school was behind her.
Sayaka chuckled and told him, "Your late Eadlyn". Eadlyn then came back to his right mind and answered with little cough to cover up the embarrassment of staring at her for too long. He said with a smirk, " Well technically I am early, but u came even early, is there a reason ur waiting for me so early, or is it tht u were looking forward to it so much that u came so early? ".
Sayaka was speechless as the cards were reversed now. They both started laughing since they both knew that they were both excited for the festival they will be visiting together. Little did they know that they were being observed by the trio, yes Eadlyn's group were observing this from the side in hinding.
Manami and Rin were giggling and making some cunning plans to use against Eadlyn in coming year in school, whereas Ken was shocked to know that his bestie was going with the School's model student, he knew this will surely get troublesome later.
And the train arrived both Eadlyn and Sayaka stood beside each other, as the seats were all filled up. And just like in manga, with a sudden jerk from the train, Sayaka fell on Eadlyn, and Eadlyn's reflexes were quite fast, (which we will know later why) caught her with ease, and took her hand and was holding it with his hand near to him so she doesn't loose balance again. This made Sayaka's cheeks flush with redness for a bit.
They reached the station, but Eadlyn didn't leave the hand, and through the crowd he guided the way and Sayaka looking at the wide back if Eadlyn was happy for his kind gesture, but internally she was burning up with shyness as Eadlyn had been holding her hand for so long.
And they were being followed by the Eadlyns group behind, although they wanted to meet Sayaka, they didn't want to ruin the nice atmosphere they were having, so they ignored the couple and entered the festival themselves.
