Chapter 258: Fireworks
“Hoshino-kun.”
In the Literature Club’s activity room, Ninomiya Homura leisurely put down the book in her hand on the table and looked towards Hoshino Seiya sitting opposite her.
At this moment, Miss Ex-girlfriend was holding her phone with a conflicted face, lighting up the screen several times but eventually sighing in disappointment and turning it off.
“Do you want to invite Yagi-kun to watch the fireworks with you?”
Ninomiya Homura blinked her big eyes, looking at the indecisive Hoshino Seiya, and asked with a smile.
“No, it’s not that, I don’t, I don’t want to watch fireworks with him…”
Hoshino Seiya instinctively rebutted.
” Hoshino-kun is really not frank, huh.”
Ninomiya Homura pursed her lips and smiled, speaking leisurely, “But your wish might not come true. Yagi-kun has a part-time job, so he won’t be attending the bonfire evening.”
“Is that so.”
Hoshino Seiya immediately looked disappointed, but she felt relieved inside.
She had just been worried about being rejected if she asked him out. Now, even though she lost this special opportunity, she didn’t have to be so conflicted.
Most importantly… she was afraid Yagi Miyuki would reject her and then go with Ninomiya-senpai or other girls, which would be unacceptable.
…
As night fell, Yagi Miyuki, who was supposed to leave, returned to the school.
“8 o’clock sharp, perfect timing, everything is set.”
Yagi Miyuki checked the time, put his phone back in his pocket, and showed a composed smile.
Muttering to himself, he looked towards the schoolyard at the center of the school, where a bonfire had already been lit, surrounded by many students apparently waiting for something.
“Everything’s ready except the east wind.”
Yagi Miyuki regained his composure and walked towards the school building.
He didn’t plan to confess to Ninomiya-senpai in such a bustling place near the bonfire. Since he decided to go for something special, he needed a place that could create enough romantic atmosphere.

The rooftop of the school building was an excellent spot.
Everything was in place: the right time, place, and people. He would stand under the fireworks, with the bonus of the school festival legend, and Michako and the others wouldn’t be there to interfere.
Under these conditions, he had no reason to fail!
“Sigh…”
Arriving at the rooftop, Yagi Miyuki found himself unexpectedly nervous. Still, he took out his phone, checked the time, and dialed a number.
“Hello? Yagi-kun?”
The call was quickly connected, and Ninomiya-senpai’s voice, filled with laughter and surprise, came through, “What’s up?”
“Ninomiya-senpai.”
Yagi Miyuki took a deep breath and slowly said, “Could you come to the rooftop of the school building? I want to watch fireworks with senpai and… there’s something I want to tell you.”
“Ah?”
Ninomiya-senpai’s voice carried astonishment.
“I said, I want to be with senpai… Wait!”
Yagi Miyuki suddenly changed his expression.
He realized he had overlooked something important… he hadn’t informed Ninomiya-senpai in advance.
Normally, surprises don’t need prior notice, and that’s the point.
There were still nearly ten minutes until the fireworks started, enough time from any corner of the campus to get there.
But Ninomiya-senpai knew he had a part-time job in the evening and wouldn’t attend the bonfire. So, there was a good chance… she had already gone home…
“Ninomiya-senpai, where are you now?”
Yagi Miyuki asked with a twitching mouth corner.
He wanted to slap himself for being so concerned about Michako and the others’ interference that he forgot about Ninomiya-senpai, the most important person
in his plan.
“…At home.”
Hearing the distant female voice from the phone, Yagi Miyuki paused, then let out a bitter smile.

What was this? A critical oversight? But this was something he shouldn’t have neglected.
Ninomiya-senpai was at least ten minutes away from the school. Asking her to come over now was unrealistic; she wouldn’t make it in time…
Was all his effort in vain?
Yagi Miyuki felt a bit disheartened, looking down from the rooftop at the roaring bonfire in the schoolyard, his throat dry, “Sorry, never mind…”
“Yagi-kun, you just said to meet you on the school building’s rooftop to watch fireworks together, right?”
Ninomiya-senpai’s voice turned serious, accompanied by hurried footsteps, “Did you say that?”
“Senpai…”
“Was that what you said?”
“…Yes.”
“Ten minutes, I’ll be right there. Wait for me.”
“I—”
Before Yagi Miyuki could respond, the call was abruptly ended.
“I am such an idiot!”
Yagi Miyuki covered his forehead.
The confession plan was half-failed by this point. The fireworks were about to begin, and ten minutes definitely wouldn’t be enough.
“Should I continue?”
Yagi Miyuki fell silent.
The reason he decided to confirm a relationship with Ninomiya-senpai was to use the status of “a taken man” to refuse Michako and the others’ relentless pursuit.
In theory, he just wanted the result; the process didn’t matter. But he still prepared as much as possible for a sufficiently romantic confession.
But now…
“There’s no reason to give up.”
Yagi Miyuki’s eyes quickly firmed up again.
Bang—!
After a while, a light sound came from afar, a bright light streaked across the night sky, bursting into a brilliant shower of sparks beneath Yagi Miyuki’s gaze.
“1, 2…”
Yagi Miyuki silently counted, turning to look at the rooftop entrance. One explosion followed another, but until the 14th, there was still no movement at the entrance.
“Too late after all…”
Yagi Miyuki rubbed his temple, “Calling Ninomiya-senpai out at this time, whether it succeeds or fails, I should apologize first.”

Bang!
Suddenly, the iron door to the rooftop was flung open, hitting the wall with a loud bang. A girl with long hair, a flawless face flushed red, and a figure even the dim light couldn’t hide, with exaggerated curves and clad in black silk legs, burst into his view.
“Huff… huff—”
She looked at Yagi Miyuki, panting, her mouth slowly curving into a smile, and walked up to him.
“Ninomiya-senpai…”
“Shh—”
Ninomiya Homura raised a slender jade-like finger to her lips, signaling silence, and knelt down in front of him. In his puzzled gaze, she placed a palm-sized, pyramidal object on the ground — a small firework.
Click!
Ninomiya-senpai lit the fuse of the small firework. Quickly, a shower of sparks sprayed out, lighting up the dim surroundings with a half-meter-tall cascade of silver and gold.
“All set.”
Ninomiya-senpai stood up with a beaming smile, her gentle eyes meeting Yagi Miyuki’s, “Yagi-kun, you said you had something to tell me on the phone. So… what is it that you want to say to senpai?”
“Ninomiya-senpai…”
Yagi Miyuki watched as the small firework’s sparks, which had only sprayed for a moment, began to fade. His tense face gradually softened, and he looked up seriously at the girl in front of him.
“Ninomiya-senpai… please go out with me officially.”
“Okay.”
