After a leisurely day vacation, I finally came to the highlight of this time - the "Mermaid Festival".

After the opening of the unaware witch performance and the chatter of the gods of "fate", the long-awaited arrow-giving session finally arrived, and everyone looked forward to it with bated breath.

At each festival, only three people who are drawn by the "Destiny" number plate will receive a "Dugong Arrow", and if they are not selected this time, they will have to wait until the next time.

Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on the fate on the stage.

Apparently, however, the fate did not immediately announce the numbers, but began some kind of prayer session.

"What's wrong Sumi? How are you distracted? This is the most anticipated arrow giving session! ”

“…… It's nothing. ”

Offstage, Ebihara Shoumi, who belonged to a small number of distracted people, reluctantly pulled out a smile at the friend who asked her beside her, trying to focus her mind on the fate on the stage.

During the day, her fiancé, Ryuro Fukuyama, came to her home and confessed that he had another sweetheart, and obtained her father's support to dissolve the engagement, which was a bolt from the blue for her.

After all, she and Fukuyama Rokuro are also childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and they have a very good impression of this handsome, excellent grades, and competitive admission to the quasi-professional group, and went to the big city.

However, this marriage was originally decided by the older generation, and now that the other party wants to dissolve the marriage, her protest is insignificant when her father has agreed.

What's more, she also has her own pride, and she really can't pull down her face and stalk her.

Having such a fiancé used to be something she was very proud of, but now, it has become a humiliation for her.

Ebihara Sumimi silently looked in the direction of Rokuro Fukuyama and gritted her teeth - she must know who the vixen who seduced her fiancé was!

Even if she disdains to keep Fukuyama Rokuro, she can't watch her people being snatched away!

However, when she noticed that Fukuyama Rokuro's eyes looked at the beautiful shrine maiden on the stage affectionately, her expression couldn't help but become ugly.

Shimabukuro June is also a friend who grew up with her, in front of the beautiful and gentle Shimabukuro June, Rao is proud of herself, and she is unconsciously shorter, and her heart is resentful......

At this time, Fukuyama, who had confessed to his "fiancée" Shoumi, had broken off the marriage contract, and from time to time he went to the shrine maiden who assisted the "fate" on the stage to hold rituals.

He has prepared a surprise and is ready to confess to Junhui after the festival, and at this moment, he really wants the festival to end immediately.

"Ha~yaw~"

It seems that Matsuda Jinpei has the same feelings, this cool guy bought a big yawn and watched the performance on stage boredly.

"Alas, it's really boring, and I don't know what's so good about this kind of performance, no matter how you think it's fake, right?"

Matsuda Jinpei pouted, if it weren't for the interest of Yu Narugami and the others to come over to watch, he would have gone back to sleep a long time ago, instead of watching an old woman dancing here.

Fukuyama Rokuro, who was also a little anxious, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Matsuda when he heard this.

As a person who already regards Kimime Shimabukuro as his future daughter-in-law, Matsuda's words are completely provoking his woman!

"Hehe, some cool guys seem disdainful on the surface, but in fact, maybe they are all looking forward to it!"

He didn't want to spoil the surprise that Narugami Yu gave to his "friend", so he couldn't spoil it, but it was okay to take a little revenge with a sentence or two.

There's no way, among the few people in the police academy team, Date Air is hearty and bold, Shizuya Ling is serious and serious, Zhufu Jingguang is gentle and amiable, Hagiwara Kenji is considerate and loves to laugh, and the only ones who are not easy to mess with at first glance are Yu Narugami and Matsuda Jinpei.

Since Yu Narugami was cheating on his friend to "ask for arrows", after excluding Yu Narugami, Fukuyama naturally decided that Matsuda Jinhei was the guy who wanted the "Dugong Arrow" very, very much.

"You're too arrogant, aren't you?"

"Huh? Are you talking about me? ”

Matsuda Jinhei was said by Fukuyama, and suddenly looked at the other party inexplicably.

"Who wants that broken arrow!"

"Whoever talks is whoever you talk to."

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Huh."

This tsundere Matsuda is hopeless.

Fukuyama Ryuro made such a judgment, and the corners of his mouth twitched and didn't say more, and decided to secretly wait for a while after Matsuda Jinpei was drawn, and carefully observe the other party's expression - if Matsuda showed any flaws at that time, he would definitely laugh at the other party!

Matsuda Jinhei looked at Rokuro Fukuyama speechlessly, and decided not to deal with someone whose IQ fell below a negative number in love.

Just because his sweetheart opened a shrine, he thinks that everyone else takes it for granted that this shrine is going to be pursued, right? That's ridiculous.

Matsuda Jinhei felt that Fukuyama was a brain-dead behavior caused by too thick a love filter, so he cut it off and didn't say anything more.

At this time, the fateful person on the stage finally finished chanting the prayer, picked up the torch, and burned the numbers on the old white cloth.

“3，201，47……”

There were cheers from the crowd, but more of them were sighs of disappointment, and many others had already begun to shout that they could spend money on the "Dugong Arrow".

"Hmph, it seems that Matsuda is in good luck!"

Rokuro Fukuyama, who had known the result for a long time, looked at Matsuda Jinpei, who had not yet moved, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and poke Matsuda Jinpei with his elbow.

"Why don't you hurry up? Destiny has already put the winner on the stage. ”

"Huh? What are you talking about. ”

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Rokuro Fukuyama strangely and took out his number plate.

"Misremember, I'm number 102, not number 201."

"Oh, that's like ...... What?! ”

Fukuyama was stunned for a moment, looking at the number plate in Matsuda Jinpei's hand in disbelief, stunned.

What about the good Ming Shang Yu for himself and a small stove?!

Fukuyama subconsciously looked at Narugami Yu, seeing this gaze, Narugami Yu was also misled by Matsuda, thinking that Fukuyama remembered the wrong number, and couldn't help but explain.

"You're misremembering Fukuyama. Although we went a little late, we didn't squeeze into the two-digit number, but we didn't arrive late so late, we were all more than 100 numbers. ”

“……”

Ah, then you can rule out the situation that Narukami Yu accidentally remembered the wrong number.

Fukuyama opened his mouth, but instead remembered that he couldn't explain why he knew about it.

After all, if he knew about it, either Junhui didn't keep it a secret, or he hid in Junhui's room at night, neither of which was very good.

Fukuyama silently swallowed his doubts and looked up at the stage.

At this time, the shrine maiden Junhui invited the winners to come to the stage one by one, held up the number plate in their hands to indicate that the results were correct, and then, Destiny personally gave them the "Dugong Arrow" one by one.

Fukuyama clearly saw that the person holding the number 47 plate was a tall man in a black coat with long brilliant silver hair.

That person, is Yu Narugami's friend?

Matsuda Jinpei, who had been targeted by Fukuyama before, frowned slightly.

At first, he really thought that Fukuyama would say that if he remembered wrong, but judging from the previous conversation between the other party, it seems that it is not so simple.

Immediately, after careful observation, he noticed the subtlety of Fukuyama's expression.

Yu Narugami stood behind Fukuyama's side and couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but Matsuda Shohei stood slightly forward, naturally taking in the other party's face at a glance.

After noticing that Fukuyama deliberately looked at the silver-haired man he thought was very dangerous, Matsuda gave a thoughtful expression.

It seems that somewhere they don't know, there seems to be a story!

Matsuda Jinpei decided to ask Fukuyama after that, but at this time, Narukami Yuu didn't know anything about it, because all his attention was on fate.

Long before coming to Mermaid Island, he thought about how to avoid the tragedy of this Shimabukuro lady who loves the island wholeheartedly.

In the original fate line, this person was unable to escape from the fire scene because he had limited mobility due to his calves and thighs tied because of his fateful appearance, and died in the fire.

The fire is thought to have been set off, but if you want to stop them from making a mess at some point, it is better to start with the Shimabukuro lady herself - for example, to remind the other person that such a costume is dangerous, and just in case, it is best to carry a knife that can cut the rope or something.

The last time he visited Kimie Shimabukuro, because the topic and atmosphere were not very suitable, Yu Narugami didn't find the right time to cut in, and now he is looking for an opportunity to remind the other party.

For example, at the Mermaid Festival, you may not be able to react to danger when you see the "fate" played by Ms. Shimabukuro, and you may not have time to react to danger when you are alone......

When he saw Shimabukuro Junhui following the "fate" every step of the way, helping the other party to walk, Narugami couldn't help but nod.

If Kimie Shimabukuro had been reminded not to let her mother act in this way alone, she might have been able to avoid this tragedy.

However, before Narukami Yu stepped forward to greet the two, Fukuyama Ryuro hurriedly walked over, almost impatiently wanting to confess.

It seems that this guy is not ready to talk to Shimabukuro Junhui alone, but wants to show his heart in front of the future "mother-in-law", and directly made a step of the marriage proposal.

is worthy of being a decisive adult, completely different from some procrastinating young high school couples!

Seeing this scene, Narugami Yu, who originally wanted to go over, could only give up reluctantly, he was not so uninteresting.

Anyway, they have to stay for another day, there is always a chance.

However, everything was so coincidental.

Seeing this scene, Ebihara Sumi's face was pale.

In the face of Shimabukuro June, she is always ashamed of the filthy one, and they are also friends who grew up together, which makes Shimabukuro very embarrassed, and she doesn't even have the courage to question Shimabukuro Junhui for a while.

"Damn! I didn't get the 'Dugong Arrow' this year! ”

"That's right, we have also been watched by fate since we were children, and the fate of the adults didn't even take care of us......"

"Hmph, yes."

Ebihara Shoumi couldn't help but echo the two fox friends and dog friends, the pain of "falling out of love", and the unhappiness of not getting the "Dugong Arrow" this year are intertwined, how uncomfortable!

"Let's go! Drink and go! We're not going home drunk tonight! ”
