Chapter 18:Second Chance End

Isanari:"I'm so lost. Everything already looked the same before, now everything looks the same but dark."

Isanari turns a corner to run into a man wearing glasses.

Irigaku:"Pardon me, sir."

Isanari:"Nah, it's my fault. Say, you have any idea where the Tanabata portion will be? Been trying to look for my family, but I left my phone at home."

Irigaku:"Certainly."

Irigaku gives Isanari detailed instructions, maybe too detailed.

Isanari:"Thanks, man. I'll be sure to look out for every single stand you mentioned in order..."

Irigaku:"Have fun with your family."

The two men began to part ways.

Isanari:[I don't remember most of that.]

Irigaku:[He probably forgot most of that.]

"But..."

Isanari:[He looks familiar.]

Irigaku:[Have I met a man like him before?]

...

Fuutarou was waiting with Takeda and Maeda.

Fuutarou:"I really want to criticize the person that got second after he forced another man to partake in an activity he sucked at. But,I know you'll make it up to me in plenty of spades."

Takeda:"I...I'm sorry."

Fuutarou:"And What happened to you?"

Maeda:"You wouldn't understand, you're not in love."

Fuutarou:"...Now what is that supposed to mean?"

Maeda:"Exactly what you think."

Fuutarou:"...Whatever. You guys didn't bring yukatas?"

Takeda/Maeda:"Nope."

Fuutarou:"That makes three of us."

Out of the corner of his eye, Fuutarou would notice the quintuplets and his sisters coming out, showing their new yukatas.

Itsuki:"Hopefully you didn't wait too long."

Fuutarou:"It's fine...You girls look great in those."

This shocked the five girls, fully believing he was just saying it out of obligation.

Nino:"Fuu-kun, do you have no decency!?"

Ichika:"So he's shooting for all of us?"

Yotsuba:"How would that even work?"

Fuutarou:"How stupid do you think I am? I know what I said. You girls really do look great, I can take back my compliment if you want."

Once again, the girls were pushed back by this genuine moment given to them by Fuutarou.

Itsuki:"He's getting too good at this."

Yotsuba:"His casanova power is getting too strong."

Fuutarou:"What is wrong with you people. You look great too, Raiha."

Raiha:"Let's go look around again."

Fuutarou:"Of course! Takeda!"

Takeda:"Not again~"

...

Together, they looked around the stands in the night. Fuutarou took many photos for Raiha. Ichika watched the race with Fuutarou trying to run away in embarrassment. After setting off some sparklers, they gathered around a bamboo tree to hang their wishes. Fuutarou caught a glimpse of the wishes made by the quints. All of them were variations of well wishes towards the other sisters.
