============
On a certain night in mid-August, festival music and the hustle and bustle of people echoed through the summer night. Electric lights covered in lanterns illuminated the area around the shrine, creating a charming glow. A large crowd had gathered at the Shino no no Shrine to enjoy the festival. And in a corner of this lively crowd was a group of stunningly beautiful girls, each one eye-catching in her own right.
"Ah~! Over here, over here~!"
A golden-haired beauty, part of the group of girls in yukatas who were attracting attention from the men around them, noticed me and waved happily. Her reaction made the other girls notice me, and their faces broke into happy smiles. The men around us shot me jealous glances, hating this popular guy who was being waved at by such a beautiful group of girls.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting."
"You're late! Honestly... ehehe...♪"
When I joined them, the small and cheerful Rin complained coyly before hugging my arm and blushing. Rin's yukata was a yellow base that graduated to green towards her feet. The sash was pink, which suited Rin's active and cute personality. When I stroked her head, dressed in an outfit that made her look different and cute, Rin's face broke into a big smile, and she snuggled up to me.
The jealous stares of the men around us felt good.
"So this is a Japanese festival. It's my first time, so I'm excited! ♪"
Charlotte, with her golden hair, gave me a friendly smile. Her yukata was a slightly bluish white with a clear and cute pattern of blue morning glories. The envious looks directed at me for being smiled at by a girl just as beautiful as Rin became even more intense. Oh my, how scary.
"Festival, festival~! It's so fun~♪"
"Indeed, to be able to enjoy a festival like this with Kiyono-sama is a profound experience."
Honne wore a loose, oversized orange yukata and smiled softly. So cute. I love her. Behind her, Laura stood with her arms crossed, a cool smile on her face. Her attitude was cool, but her hair was in cute twin tails, perhaps done by Charlotte, which was different from her usual style. Her yukata was a black mini-skirt yukata that was 10cm above her knees, and her beautiful white legs looked sexy.
"Hey, hey, Master♥ How do Onee-san's and Kan-chan's yukatas look? Are you getting turned on?"
"H-hey! Onee-chan...!"
Kanzashi and Tatenashi were wearing matching cherry-blossom pink yukatas. Kanzashi was shyly trying to stop Tatenashi, who was smiling mischievously with her chest wide open. Behind them, Utsuho, in a mature dark green yukata, watched over them with a fond smile.
"Yes. I'm getting turned on. Tatenashi, are you not wearing a bra?"
"Y-yes. You said it looks more beautiful that way... And you like it, don't you, Master?"
Tatenashi, who was trying to act like a big sister but couldn't hide her embarrassment, answered in a small voice. She then added, "By the way," and continued, "Of course, Kan-chan isn't wearing one either. Her big sister is surprised that her cute little sister is being so bold♪"
"Onee-chan!! Ugh... honestly..."
"It's okay, Kan-chan. I'm wearing the same one, so it's a match~♪"
"Honne and Ojou-sama, that's not ladylike."
"But Onee-chan, you're wearing the same one~"
"T-that's exactly why it's not ladylike...!"
The Sarashiki sisters and the Nohotoke sisters were having a lively conversation. It's great that they get along so well. Maybe I'll have them all at once next time.
"Um... Kiyono-sama..."
As I was ogling Laura's legs and Tatenashi's chest, Rin, who was hugging me, pulled on my other arm. I looked over and saw Cecilia, in a dark blue yukata, shyly pinching my sleeve. Her beautiful golden hair and white skin were, as always, sexy and cute. Her hair was tied up with a blue flower hairpin, giving her a different, cuter impression than usual.
"Um... I chose this yukata with Chelsea... D-does it... suit me...?"
"..."
"Oh? Masaru, your face is red~"
Cecilia tilted her head and asked me, looking up at me shyly. That cute gesture alone would make any man fall for her. I was captivated.
"... Yeah, it suits you incredibly well. As expected of 'my' Cecilia!"
"!! Y-yes, sir! ♪ I am only Kiyono-sama's!"
I stroked Cecilia's flushed cheek, emphasizing the "my" to let the other men know. Cecilia's expression brightened noticeably, and she happily hugged me. Her breasts were pressed against my arm, and I felt their softness. She's such an obedient and good girl to cling to me so happily. Cecilia, who's been so much more proactive lately, is so cute.
"Ah, you were all here."
"Oh, Houki."
Houki, dressed in a miko outfit, appeared in the corner of the festival grounds where we were forming a sweet little space. With the appearance of yet another beautiful girl, most of the men finally gave up and looked away.
"Everyone, thank you for coming today."
"Houki, you're also going to perform a dance today, aren't you? I'm looking forward to it!"
"Houki-san, we're looking forward to your performance!"
"N-no, my dance is nothing special..."
Houki was scheduled to perform the Kagura dance, which is passed down at the Shino no no Shrine. That's why she was in a miko outfit, waiting for her turn. Not only us, but also the local people who came to the festival seemed to be looking forward to Houki's dance. I myself was also looking forward to seeing Houki's graceful dance in a miko outfit. Houki was being humble, perhaps out of shyness.
"I'm looking forward to it too. Houki's dance."
"Eh!? I-is that true!?"
"Yeah. I'm sure it'll be beautiful, Houki."
"Ugh, th-that's not true..."
"I want you to show me your beautiful dance, just for me."
"Just for Masaru..."
I kept whispering to motivate Houki.
"... If you dance for me, I'll give you a reward later."
"!! ... O-okay... I'll do my best, I'll do my best..."
(She's motivated now.)
"Alright, then let's enjoy the festival until then. I'll see you later, Houki."
"O-okay!"
"Do your best."
"Shinonon, good luck~"
"A reward..."
Houki was also motivated for my sake. Now, until Houki's turn, I'll enjoy admiring everyone in their yukatas.
"Kya."
"Ah...♥"
I put my arms around Cecilia and Rin, who were clinging to me. They both let out happy sounds and leaned into me. They both smelled good, and it made my heart flutter.
"Ah, you two are so lucky~"
"Cecilia, you're so proactive~"
"I-is that so?"
"Hmm... you're right... Cecilia, did something happen?"
"N-nothing happened! ... Oh ho ho..."
Honne and the others raised their voices in envy at the two girls who were being held by me. It looks like my arms are going to be busy all day today. I stroked Cecilia's bottom as I enjoyed the festival.
"Oh, a shooting game."
As I walked around, enjoying the two girls, I came across a shooting game stall. I've had to hold a gun in my IS classes since I enrolled, so I couldn't help but be interested.
"Um, Kiyono-sama... if you don't mind, would you like to play with me?"
Cecilia timidly suggested this to me, who had taken an interest in the shooting game. It's a festival, and a girl wants to play with me, so there's no reason to refuse.
"Oh, that's a great idea. Should we make it a competition?"
"Y-yes! I'll gladly accept your challenge!"
"Hey! Let me join in too!"
"Oh, I won't lose to you in shooting, Rin-san."
"You're making a victory declaration already? You've got guts. I'll show you who's boss! Masaru, I'll show you how cool I can be!"
Cecilia was in a great mood that I had accepted her invitation. Rin also joined in, getting competitive and making things more lively. I paid the owner and took a cork gun. I decided to just enjoy myself for once, without using my abilities.
"Good luck, Kiyono-sama!"
"Let's see what you've got."
I rested my elbow on the counter and aimed for the sweets first. Cecilia and Rin watched my first shot with expectation.
(...! Now!)
I took a deep breath and focused, aiming for the corner of the sweets box. I pulled the trigger, and the cork bullet was fired.
Bang!!
Thump...
"..."
My bullet completely missed the sweets box and flew off, hitting the stall's curtain and falling to the ground. The second and third shots did the same. ... Someone say something, I'm embarrassed.
"... It was almost there! Kiyono-sama! Th-that was just practice! Practice!"
"..."
Cecilia's attempt to cover for me just made it worse. I guess I really don't have any talent. I was once again disappointed in my incompetence without my abilities.
"Alright, it's my turn now."
Rin held the gun, closed one eye, and focused. Her swaying twin tails were cute.
"Heave-ho!"
Rin pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out. Unlike my pathetic shot, Rin's bullet hit the box of caramels she was aiming for, making it wobble.
"One more time!"
Rin's second and third shots hit the box again, knocking the caramels off.
"How's that!"
"Heh, not bad."
"Of course! Of course! I'm a representative candidate too!"
Rin smiled happily and winked at me. She was so cute that I stroked her head, despite my frustration.
"Ehehe... wait, am I a child or something!"
"Oops. Did you not like it? My bad, my bad."
"Ah, no, I don't dislike it... in fact, I'm kind of happy..."
Rin, who had received the caramels from the stall owner, happily let me stroke her head. She was so small and cute.
"Mmm... Kiyono-sama! It's my turn now!"
"Ah, what are you doing!"
"Y-you're being unfair by only letting Rin-san go!"
Cecilia, who had been waiting, got a little pouty and pulled me away from Rin. Cecilia, determined to show me her skills, held the gun.
"Kiyono-sama! Please watch my shooting!"
"Oh, you're all fired up."
"... Lately, it seems like Cecilia gets so competitive when it comes to you."
"Yeah, it's tough being a popular guy."
"... Honestly, you idiot."
Even though Cecilia was right in front of us, Rin and I had a good moment. Rin hugged my arm and leaned on me.
"Just so you know, both Cecilia and I are so excited right now."
Rin whispered that and fell silent. A sweet scent wafted from her hair.
"... Right now!"
Cecilia aimed and pulled the trigger. She fired, reloaded immediately, and fired another cork bullet, knocking down a large teddy bear.
"I, I did it! Kiyono-sama! I knocked down a bigger one than Rin-san!"
Cecilia, like a dog who had brought back a bone, showed me the prize she had won, completely overjoyed.
"... Wait, Rin-san! Were you and Kiyono-sama having a moment when I wasn't looking!?"
"It's fine. I'm... well, I'm Masaru's lover, too."
"W-well, I am too...! Kiyono-sama, I worked so hard for you!"
"... She really has been more proactive lately."
Cecilia pushed the teddy bear towards me, as if to say, "Praise me, praise me." I don't need a teddy bear, it doesn't suit me.
"Ah, you did a great job, Cecilia. When it comes to shooting, it has to be Cecilia."
"Y-yes!"
Giving in to Cecilia's expectant gaze, I stroked her head. Cecilia closed her eyes and happily savored the moment. It felt like I was doing something wrong. Even though I hadn't done anything sexual yet today.
"Mmm...! Ah...♥"
(I'm just stroking her head, but I'm getting turned on.)
I was just stroking her head, but Cecilia writhed and let out a sexy sigh. The stall owner also looked away as if he had seen something he shouldn't have. Rin was taken aback. Lately, there's something off about Cecilia.
"Oh, caramels~"
"... What is this?"
"Honne."
Honne and Kanzashi, who were oblivious to the strange atmosphere, came to the stall.
"Hey, Masaru-kun. Let's eat some cotton candy together~♪ Here, say 'aah'♪"
"Aah."
"Ah..."
Seizing the opportunity, I stopped stroking Cecilia and put my mouth to the cotton candy Honne offered me. Cecilia let out a sound of regret. Honne, whether she meant to or not, offered me the part she had taken a bite out of. I gladly put my mouth to the part Honne had bitten.
"Mmm... delicious."
"Ehehe~♪"
The moment it was in my mouth, the cotton candy melted, and the sweetness spread. Thinking that it was Honne's half-eaten piece made it taste even better.
"Hey, hey, Masaru-kun. In return, I want that candy~"
Honne, with her hand wrapped in the sleeve of her yukata, tugged on my clothes and cutely pointed to the lemon candy prize.
"Alright, I'll get it for you, Honne."
"Yay! ♪ Masaru-kun, you're so cool~♪ I love you~♪"
It would be uncool if I was the only one who couldn't win anything. Besides, a cute Honne asked me for a favor. I was motivated. I paid an extra fee and tried again.
... In conclusion, I realized I had no talent, so I decided to quietly rely on my cheat ability and do whatever I wanted to solve the problem.
"Oh~, yay~♪ Thank you, Masaru-kun♥"
In the end, I relied on my cheat ability, and Honne, who was unaware of it, spoiled me. I stroked Honne to soothe my dejected heart.
"Waha~♪ I'll savor the candy I got from Masaru-kun~♪"
Listening to Honne's gentle voice was so heartwarming and soothing. Honne really is the best.
(Damn it, so this is what I'm like without my cheat ability. Ahh, I guess I'll just have to vent my frustration in the fun I'm going to have later.)
I may have conquered the world, but my natural talent is insignificant compared to the talented beauties around me. Still, thanks to my cheat ability, I can remain perfect. Later today, I'll use this ability to have fun. No matter who they are, they are powerless against my ability. Now, it must be almost Houki's turn.
(I want them to see the relationship between Houki and me, so please, dance in the palm of my hand, you sore loser Ichika-kun.)
