The Matsumoto clan's eldest son, Momo's twin brother Hiro, is ready to be the clan's leader, it was a role he had been groomed for since he was young.

The games section was set up along the main street, with booths and stalls offering a variety of carnival-style games. There were ring tosses, dart games, balloon pops, and much more.
The area was bustling with people, laughter, and the occasional shout of triumph or groan of defeat.
"Ayaka and I made sure we brought back classic games," Ayato said as they walked to the game section. "Ah, look at that ring toss! Let's try that one!" Momo exclaimed, pointing at a game where players had to toss rings onto hooks of various sizes.
They each took turns trying their luck, cheering each other on. Despite their best efforts, neither of them managed to land a ring on any of the hooks.
They laughed and joked about their poor skills before moving on to the next game.
As they wandered through the game area, they came across a booth offering a unique dart game.
The objective was to hit a series of balloons in ascending order of size, with each successful hit earning the player a certain number of points.
Momo and Ayato decided to team up for this game, taking turns throwing darts. They found themselves surprisingly competitive, their laughter and cheers filling the air as they tried their best to beat each other's scores.
"That was fun," Momo said. Then they heard music. "The first event of the day has started The Maikos and Geishas are performing we should watch," Ayato said as he took Momo's hand.
They walked to the center stage where a group of Maikos and Geishas were already dancing gracefully. The traditional Inazumen dance was accompanied by the sound of traditional music played by a live band.
The Maikos and Geishas were dressed in their colourful kimonos, their hair meticulously styled and adorned with flowers.
They moved in perfect harmony, their delicate hands and feet expressing a grace that was both captivating and mesmerizing.
"It's Saki," Momo said as she saw Saki dancing with the group.

Saki's Kimono, the picture is not mine.
The dancers moved fluidly through the intricate steps of the Inazumen dance. As they watched, Momo and Ayato found themselves becoming more and more entranced by the performance.
The grace and precision of the dancers plus Saki were awe-inspiring, and they could feel their hearts racing in sync with the beat of the drums.
Suddenly, the music changed, and a new dance began. The Maikos and Geishas formed a circle around Saki, who was now in the center.
The dance was known as the "Dance of the Cherry Blossoms," and it told the story of the fleeting beauty of life and the importance of cherishing each moment.
As Saki began to move, her delicate hands and feet seemed to paint the air with petals, and her movements were so graceful that it was as if she were truly floating above the ground.
Momo and Ayato were mesmerized by the performance, their hearts racing as they watched Saki dance.
The cherry blossoms that fell from Saki's hands seemed to symbolize the fleeting nature of time, and the dancers around her represented the people who had come together to share in this moment.
As the dance came to an end, the crowd erupted into applause and cheers.
Momo looked at Ayato almost teared up. "That was... beautiful," she whispered. Ayato nodded, feeling a lump in his throat.
He felt the dance's message pressing down on him, urging him to cherish every moment he had with Momo.
"Lord Ayato and Lady Momo your here," Cho said as she and Gina came towards them. "Cho and Gina it's so nice to see you," Momo said.
"Thank you for making this event happen Lord Ayato" The 10 year old said as she curtsied. "The pleasure was all mine Gina," Ayato replied with a smile. "Will you be here watch "The Legend of the Great Firebird." tonight? Madoka is playing the main character" Cho asked them.
"Yes, we'd love to watch it" Momo exclaimed. "Madoka is such a talented dancer. We're looking forward to seeing her perform." Ayato nodded in agreement.
"Why hello there," Saki said as she came up to the group. "Madam Saki you were amazing," Gina said as she hugged. "Thank you sweetly," Saki said
Saki bows to Momo and Ayato. "Thank you Lord Ayato and to your sister, it was truly an honor for us Maikos and Geishas to perform at the summer festival" Saki added.
"You're welcome, Saki. It was our pleasure to watch you dance. We're looking forward to the play tonight," Ayato replied with a smile.
"Thank you. Madoka and the Geisha troupe have been rehearsing very hard. She never done this before." Saki said as she looked at Momo and Ayato. "She is very talented and I know she will do an amazing job," she added
"The Lyney and Lynette Magic Show should be starting soon, do you want to come watch it with us" Ayato asked them.
"Really, can we go with them Saki?" Cho asked Saki. "Sure why not, I'd like to see the magic show too," Saki said with a smile.
"Emiko and Akari are busy helping Madoka get everything ready, it's a good thing that I'm on break let's go" Saki added.
