First, a touch of clear light blue, like the autumn sky, burst into Qingdeng's eyes.

Then, the beautiful scenery composed of this light blue as the main color made Qingden momentarily dazzled.

The person who created this beautiful scenery that seems to absorb all the surrounding light and make the surrounding shadows become a foil is the person who has already put on a light blue yukata and is standing in front of the Wufu store.

Sanako standing behind Qingden.

Qingden had noticed a long time ago that Sanako seemed to be particularly fond of blue.

The ribbons she uses to tie her hair, the ties of her clogs, the kimono she often wears... the colors she chooses are basically cool colors with blue as the main color.

Therefore, when just waiting for Sanako to change clothes and come out, Qingto had wondered whether Sanako would pick out a blue yukata for himself.

As a result, Qingdeng really guessed it.

The texture is excellent, the light blue fabric embroidered with white flowing cloud patterns fits closely to Sanako's delicate body.

The pure white wide belt adds a girlish look to Sanako.

This beautiful belt, which is so white that people dare not look at it for fear that their eyes will accidentally stain it, is tied behind Sanako's back. It is bigger than Qingto's two palms, but it looks very beautiful.

Cute bow.

How women should tie their kimono obi—this kind of thing is also very particular. There are about 20 different ways to tie the obi.

When Sanako wears a women's kimono on a daily basis, she chooses a very common belt tying method, the classic "taiko knot".

The so-called taiko knot is to fold the ends of the belt strap tightly into a square with a side of 30 centimeters.

The name is taken from the "Taiko Bridge" in Kameido Tenjin Shrine in Edo City.

In order to make the obi knot look like a bow-shaped "taiko bridge", the end of the obi and a small cushion called an "obi pillow" are stuffed into the square.

The beautiful shape makes the taiko knot extremely popular among women of all ages.

Aoto was used to seeing the way Sanako wore a taiko knot around her waist... so now that he saw the bow on Sanako's back, which was a bit huge but perfectly proportional to her waist, he found it quite novel.

Because the world thinks that bows are a bit too fancy, generally speaking, only unmarried women who are lively and like to dress themselves up more conspicuously will favor this method of tying.

Sanako, who usually has a serious face and loves to wear a reserved taiko knot, suddenly puts on a fashionable and lively bow tie... This strong contrast creates a wonderful sense of contrast, which makes Qingto

His eyes lit up.

The neat shape and dignified taiko knot really match well with a woman like Sanako who exudes a graceful and luxurious aura...but this youthful and cute shape is also very good and has a special sense of beauty.

Such a beautiful yukata can only be worn by a first-class beauty - and Sanako happens to be such a beauty.

When wearing ordinary kimonos and kendo uniforms that slightly conceal the original figure, Sanako's area, which is even larger than Kinoshita Mai, is already very conspicuous.

Now if you put on a yukata made of this kind of light fabric, what effect will it have? It’s self-evident.

I saw that Sanako's skirt was stretched tightly. This part of her body that was developed contrary to her formal appearance was more eye-catching than usual because the curves were perfectly outlined.

Because the collar is indeed well covered, and the belt that reaches the lower end of the southern hemisphere has a boosting and gathering effect, the fabric in front of the bear is pushed into a mountain peak.

Qingto couldn't help but wonder: When Sanako lowered his head now, could he see his toes...

Going down from the waist, there are two calves as white as if they had just been soaked in milk.

The hem of the yukata, which only reached Sanako's calf, swayed slightly with the night breeze that blew in from time to time, revealing more of her beautiful white legs.

Sanako has voluptuous legs that complement her slender waist and plump parts.

The slender ankles and small feet that are usually hidden under the hem of long hakama clothes and white socks are now openly exposed.

White skin, dark eyes and blue hair, red lips, light blue clothes, light pink fingernails and toenails...

All colors are perfectly interpreted on this delicate body.

From the well-proportioned legs, to the round "peach", to the straight collarbone faintly visible under the skirt...the outlines outlined by these beauties exude a different aura than usual.

Sanako still has that noble and elegant face, but this graceful aura is a little more delicate and playful that is indescribable.

Qingto's sense of time became particularly strange the moment his eyes turned to Sanako.

He felt as if he had been staring at Sanako for a long time...but in fact, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

"...I'd better change back into my kendo uniform."

Sanako's sudden words allowed Qingto to regain his normal perception of the world.

Qingden took a closer look and saw that Zanazi's smart eyes were filled with a faint look of shame.

He drew his hands inwards and hugged the furoshiki in his arms tightly. His toes, like white lotus roots, gently clasped the blue-button clogs under his soles.

Furoshiki is a furoshiki that was commonly used by people in the Edo period to carry or store items.

The furoshiki in Sanako's arms contains her kendo uniform and her socks.

"This kind of clothes... is a little too casual."

As she spoke, she reached behind and touched the bow on her lower back.

"I'm not used to wearing yukata, so I won't wear it anymore."

After saying this, Sanazi turned around and wanted to return to the Wu clothing store behind him.

"Miss Sanako!"

However, just as her lotus feet had time to take half a step back, Qingdeng quickly stopped her.

Sanako originally thought Qingto was trying to persuade her not to change her clothes.

However……

"Miss Sanako, this yukata suits you so well."

The first thing Qingdeng said was a compliment that showed no hint of hypocrisy.

"It's true that I look forward to seeing you put on a yukata."

Speaking of this, Qingdeng paused for a moment, and then showed a full smile, with sincere emotions without pretense——

“It’s really beautiful!”

The expression on Sanako's face became difficult to read at this moment.

With her red lips slightly parted, she gave Qingdeng a set of long... eyes that contained countless emotions.

"It's rare to wear such beautiful clothes. It would be a pity if you only wear them for a short while and then stop wearing them."

"Miss Sanako, just think of it as trying a new life. Wear this outfit tonight and visit all the venues of the fireworks display."

Qingdeng let go of his hands that were resting on the scabbard of the Dingguishen Sword and strode towards the dense crowd of people next to him.

"Let's go. I feel a little hungry. Let's go buy something delicious."

"..."

Sanako looked at Qingden's retreating figure with wandering eyes.

A hint of hesitation tugged back and forth on Sanako's cheeks.

After a while, Sanako took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind.

Immediately afterwards, I saw her quickly retracting the little foot that had taken half a step back, and then followed the tall figure with small "clap-tat-tat" steps...

…

…

The fireworks display tonight is as lively as last night.

You can see street performers everywhere hoping to make a fortune from this rare celebration.

The performances of these street performers are very interesting and exciting... but if you just stop and go and spend all your time watching the performers, it would be too boring and a pity.

There are still about 40 minutes until the fireworks start to set off... He glanced at Aoto, whose hands on his pocket watch were pointing, and turned to Sanako beside him and asked:

"Miss Sanako, is there anything you want to eat or do you want to play?"

"Well……"

Because she was wearing a mask, Sanako's low voice was a little muffled.

In order to reduce the onlookers of passers-by, Sanako just bought a white fox mask from a mask stall that can cover her entire face.

Thanks to the masks used to cover their faces, Qingdeng and the others' attention immediately dropped a lot.

After pondering for a while, Sanako shook his head gently.

"Tachibana-kun, where are you? Do you have any food you want to eat, or a vendor game you want to play?"

Sanako returned the question to Qingto.

"Um……"

This problem also stumped Qingdeng.

Because I had already walked around the fireworks display venue with Mai Kinoshita last night, there was nothing new about this place anymore...

But at this moment, Qingden suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye: Sanako seemed to be looking at something.
To be continued...
