The Carnivorous Beast Beauties Are Dying to Devour This Herbivorous Beast Me - 81

Chapter 81: The Summer Festival 4

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Onii! Hurry up! We have to go!”

“We don’t need to rush that much though…”

“But I want to play a lot!”

In the evening, I was heading toward the festival grounds. With her excitement on the rise, Chinatsu pulled my hand along. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. She wore a yukata patterned with red and orange goldfish, and her hair, tied up into a side-tail, looked adorable.

For Chinatsu, who usually liked showing off a bit of skin, it was unusual to see her in a yukata that covered her all the way down to her ankles…but thanks to the tightly tied obi, her amazing figure was still very much obvious. Because of how good she looked, the gazes of passersby naturally turned toward Chinatsu, but she didn’t even seem to take notice of other people’s gazes. She just kept tugging my hand forward, as if everything else didn’t matter to her.

“Still, Chinatsu, you’re unusually fired up today.”

“Of course I am. I don’t want to lose to Seira-san, or Miran-san… Or even to Anjuu-chan.”

“Lose in what exactly?”

“Geez… You know perfectly well what I’m talking about~♡”

“Ugh…”

Well… I could imagine not only Chinatsu, but also Seira-san and Miran, all dressing up as much as they could just to show off to me. Of course, I was looking forward to seeing them in their yukatas too.

Still, even in a yukata, Chinatsu doesn’t take off that choker, huh…

I thought to myself. As she pulled me along, I found myself staring at the choker glittering around her neck, with its heart-shaped charm.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!”

“You’re finally here, Haru. We’ve been waiting for you.”

“Haruku-kun, it’s been a long while since we last saw each other.”

“—!”

When Chinatsu and I arrived at the meeting spot, Seira-san and Miran were already there… And the moment I saw the two of them smiling softly, I couldn’t help but gasp.

Wearing a cool light-blue yukata, Seira-san had tied up her snow-white hair, which she usually left down. Her tied up hair exposed her bare nape. The look was refreshing and refreshing.

Perhaps because the fabric was thin, her art-like body lines showed clearly. It wasn’t an indecent outfit at all, and yet… Somehow, she looked incredibly sexy.

Miran wore a wisteria-colored yukata, and though she would get angry if I said she looked different from her usual look, the yukata gave off quite a mature impression. Compared to Seira-san, Miran’s hair was even longer and fuller. 

Normally, I really liked the fluffy feel of it, but today she had lightly waved it, giving her a gorgeous aura. …Normally, she looked so young she could be mistaken for an elementary schooler, but it was amazing how much her impression could change just with her altering her hairstyle and clothing.

“…Say something already, Haru.”

“Yeah. Don’t you have any thoughts about our looks…?”

“Ah! Sorry, I was just…I was just completely captivated by how beautiful you look…”

“That’s it? We put in so much effort to dress up, I want more compliments than that…”

“Fufu… But it really did seem like you were entranced, so I’m satisfied with that reaction.”

Seira-san showed me a gentle, almost saintly smile, while Miran looked a little dissatisfied. I really was sorry, but they were just so beautiful that I couldn’t find the right words to compliment them.

“A-anyway, what about Anjuu-chan and Sagisawa-san?”

“They should be here any moment.”

“Yeah… We just came a little early. It’s exactly the meeting time now.”

“Hm…? Ah, speak of the devil, looks like they just arrived!”

Chinatsu, her smile twitching slightly, suddenly turned her gaze toward the station as if she had sensed something. Right on cue, Anjuu-chan and Sagisawa-san appeared. Following behind them were Shuuya and Kento.

When I waved, Anjuu-chan and Sagisawa-san returned a modest wave, while Shuuya and Kento waved back with huge grins plastered on their faces.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, you’re right on time. Thanks for coming, Sagisawa-san.”

“Of course. I couldn’t miss a chance to witness such precious youth si-.. No, I mean, since this is basically the replacement for the afterparty, of course I’d be here.”

“Shuuya, Kento, thanks for coming today too.”

“Don’t worry about it!”

“Yeah, with the way Seira-san and the others asked, there was no way we could say no.”

The two said it in such an easygoing manner, but they kept sneaking glances at Seira-san and Miran. These guys were way too obvious…

“So, the only one left is Sumeragi-senpai, huh?”

“For that strict student council president not to show up on time… Could something have happened?”

At Sagisawa-san’s muttered words, we all glanced at each other. She was right. Sumeragi-senpai was precise about everything, so for her to be late, even by just a few minutes, could only mean something had happened…

“My apologies, I’m a little late.”

Just as we were starting to worry, a clear voice reached our ears. Relieved, we all turned toward the sound and…

“—!”

Her lustrous black hair was tied up and adorned with a hairpin. Though her yukata wasn’t overly luxurious, the way she wore it made her shine brilliantly, almost like an oiran. Not only I, Shuuya, and Kento, but even Seira-san and the other girls were struck silent, unable to take our eyes off Sumeragi-senpai’s figure in her yukata. That was just how enchanting she looked.
