Reincarnation of Villainess Noble Lady (Ch. 143-299)

REIKA-SAMA -296

The afternoon lectures finished and we quickly readied to leave to do the fireworks promised in the morning. Now, we have to go buy fireworks.

"Where do we get fireworks?"

"The convenience store won't have many, and they're expensive."
"Won't the home center or a super have some?"

"There's a large super market a short walk from here," I suggested.

"Then, let's try that."

We headed to the supermarket that I drop by on my way home to buy snacks occasionally. Fireworks! Fireworks!

I invited Tagaki-kun to come, but unfortunately, he turned me down saying, "I, I have a curfew!" So even boys have a curfew.

By the way, I don't have a stated curfew. For an ojou-sama, they're hands off with me since I was late with lessons often, and I independently went out often, so my parents had become tolerant. Also, the presence of a car to pick me up gives them some relief, probably. Thanks to that, I've been free to go places secretly from my parents. If I had a strict curfew, I wouldn't be able to have a fulfilling commoner life. Lucky, lucky.

"Over here." We split up to look in the store and found fireworks near the toy section.

"There's a variety here."

"Should we go ahead and buy them here?"

"Yeah."

"Let's start by buying a set and a few singles."

"Agreed."

We have a budget of a thousand yen a person. A reasonable figure for a high school student's allowance. We may be able to buy a fair amount, but it'll probably be over quickly. I might as well buy a lot since my allowance is huge, but they may see things differently as equals if I paid more, and if I did, that may change our relationship, so I can't carelessly offer.

But if we're going to do fireworks, I want to enjoy it to the fullest… Hmm… Hmm… Oh, I know! There's a secret way to use my assets! I pulled out my card from my wallet and showed it to everyone. "I have about 5000 yen in points that I've gained here. Let's use that for this!"

"Ahh!" they shouted.

"Wow. You saved that many!?"

"Not bad, Kisshouin-san.

"Hohoho." When shopping, I always went on 5x or 10x points day to gradually gather so many. Now, let's use these freely! With my points added to the war chest, we bought many fireworks.

We got on the train to the park that Kitazawa-kun led us to, and prepared for the fireworks.

"Somebody go fill the bucket with water."

"Where's the water?"

"I think it's over there."

"Then, go, Kitazawa-kun."

"Hey!"

While Kitazawa-kun went to get water, we opened the packages and readied the fire. There were other groups doing fireworks in the park and we could hear them having fun.

"What should we start with?"

"The sparklers are last."

"Why?"

"They just are," declared Sakaki-san. Her rules stated that. Well, I like them last, too, so I'm fine with that. With the bucket of water arriving, we lit the fireworks we chose.

"OH!" The flames lit the fireworks making a snapping sound. Pretty. Fire is easy to get transfixed on. I like fireworks like these that jets out the flames, but I also like the pretty ones where the sparks form the shape of a star or a flower. When a firework's about to go out, we get a new one, and we shift the flames.
