The fireworks were still blooming, and the sound of their explosions could not be covered by the wind and rain.
Under the cherry blossom tree, the maiden did not resist the touch of the young man.
"This is not a dream," the young man said earnestly, looking at the maiden. "Do you feel the warmth in your palm? This can't be a dream, this is all real, you've felt it, haven't you?"
A few more streaks of pink appeared on the maiden's delicate face, and she said softly, "Yes, I feel it. It's your warmth, it's so real, telling me that all of this is not an illusion."
What was warm was not just the palm of her hand, was it?
What Kamisato Ayaka could feel, Zeyan's eyes were also that warm.
Looking at Zeyan, she was lost in thought for a moment, realizing that this young man had unknowingly gotten so close to her heart.
"Ayaka..." Zeyan began, "Can I call you Ayaka?"
Kamisato Ayaka was taken aback, snapped out of her daze, and then showed a moving smile, saying, "Of course, Zeyan."
Zeyan also smiled. "Ayaka, let's continue watching the fireworks. I set up a lot over there, and they won't stop for a while yet."
Kamisato Ayaka nodded, looked at the sky, but couldn't help but say, "Zeyan, did you empty out the Naganohara Fireworks shop?"
Zeyan replied, "I don't know. I just took out everything I could see and use."
Kamisato Ayaka said with a smile, "When Yoimiya comes back, she might get angry about this. After all, there are so many people who ask her to make fireworks. Using up so many at once will take her a long time to replenish."
Zeyan chuckled softly. "At that time, Ayaka will stand in front of me to explain, right?"
Kamisato Ayaka hummed in agreement, "I will."
They held hands, watching the fireworks.
The fireworks filling the sky represented their intentions and wishes, conveying them all into the vast expanse.
...
After dark, Zeyan and Kamisato Ayaka returned to the Hiiragi Estate in Ritou.
Of course, they didn't return hand in hand... on Kannazuka, perhaps the atmosphere, the setting, and various other factors combined to make them hold hands the whole time, but when the fireworks ended and they left Kannazuka, they were naturally embarrassed to continue holding hands.
The two returned to the Hiiragi Estate without incident.
However, whether it was the way Zeyan looked at Kamisato Ayaka or the way Kamisato Ayaka looked at Zeyan, their gazes were already somewhat different from before.
This change caused both of them to sleep poorly at night. The other's figure would always appear in their minds, so clear, so alluring.
Under such circumstances, Zeyan couldn't help but open the window and sing into the windy and rainy night outside, "Confirmed the look in your eyes, I've met the right person..."
Kamisato Ayaka sat by the bed in the next room, listening to the wind blowing, the rain falling, the thunder rumbling... Suddenly, she heard singing, a melody that seemed to be from a foreign land, beautiful and moving.
Kamisato Ayaka's face flushed after hearing just one line, and then she put her ear close to the window.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, Kamisato Ayaka didn't hear the next line and couldn't help but sit back down with some regret.
Just when she thought she wouldn't hear that voice again tonight, singing came again.
But unfortunately, this time the singing wasn't loud enough and was drowned out by the rain. Kamisato Ayaka lay beside the window and listened for a long time, but couldn't clearly hear what the other person was singing, only remembering that the melody was something she had never heard before, but it was very beautiful.
The night slowly passed.
...
The next morning, Zeyan walked out of his bedroom.
Outside, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the wind and rain were the same as the past few days.
He looked at the sky and then went to the hall, finding that Kamisato Ayaka was already up and had even eaten breakfast.
"Ayaka," Zeyan called out. Seeing that Kamisato Ayaka didn't seem any different, he continued, "I didn't expect you to get up so early today. I suppose you've already decided which supplies to collect in Inazuma City today?"
"I have indeed thought about what to do today, but it's not going to Inazuma City," Kamisato Ayaka said, kneeling beside the table, holding a cup of hot tea, with a smile.
"Not going to Inazuma City?" Zeyan looked over in surprise.
"Yes, I plan to teach you the Kamisato Art Tachi jutsu. What do you think?" Kamisato Ayaka's eyes sparkled as she looked at Zeyan.
Zeyan's eyes widened instantly.
Naturally, Zeyan wouldn't have any resistance to learning the Kamisato Art Tachi jutsu. Rather, that was his purpose in this??. However, he was still very surprised that Kamisato Ayaka had proactively brought up this issue.
Zeyan thought for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Kamisato Ayaka lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "Didn't you say, Zeyan, that there are quite a few supplies left in the Hiiragi Estate, enough for us to use? So we don't actually need to be too anxious about collecting supplies in Inazuma City."
Zeyan thought for a moment and then said, "But won't there be a problem if we don't collect the supplies in Inazuma City, especially the food?"
Kamisato Ayaka replied, "I've thought about this issue. Quite a bit of time has passed since the incident. After such a long time, the food that should have spoiled has already spoiled, and the food that is still fine will remain fine for a while longer."
Hearing this, Zeyan felt that what Kamisato Ayaka said seemed to make sense.
"But, Ayaka, why did you suddenly want to teach me the Kamisato Art Tachi jutsu?"
"Because I've changed my mind," Kamisato Ayaka replied, and then added, "In this strange world, I think it would be a good thing for you, Zeyan, to have better skills."
"Alright, Ayaka, if you're willing to teach me, I naturally have no reason to refuse," Zeyan said with a smile.
Zeyan was also very much looking forward to learning the Kamisato Art Tachi Jutsu, so he finished his breakfast very quickly.
Not long after, he and Kamisato Ayaka stood in the hall where the tables and chairs had been moved away to make space.
Kamisato Ayaka slowly drew the Amenoma Kageuchi and said, "Zeyan, spar with me briefly using Kamisato Art: Senho, let me feel the situation in your moves, and then I'll make corrections."
"I understand."
Zeyan nodded and also drew the Silver Sword from his waist.
Swinging the sword in his hand, Zeyan suddenly rushed towards Kamisato Ayaka, and Kamisato Art: Senho was quickly unleashed.
When facing Zeyan's attack head-on, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but feel a few more sighs in her heart, because she found that although Zeyan's offensive was still very basic, he had really mastered it well, as if he had learned it through rigorous instruction. It was hard to imagine that he had grasped Kamisato Art: Senho by observing her moves.
This young man was truly a peerless genius!
