In Zeyan's mind, the plot seemed to turn into words, falling one by one, making him appear a bit absent-minded.
At this time, Kuroda had already packed up the books Kamisato Ayaka wanted. Besides the novel written by Yae Miko, Kamisato Ayaka also bought some other novels, which made quite a thick stack when packed together.
Kuroda politely said to Kamisato Ayaka, "Miss Kamisato, later I'll have someone from Yae Publishing House deliver these novels to the Kamisato Estate."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled slightly. "I would feel bad to trouble Yae Publishing House again. Let me handle it myself."
She then pointed to a follower and asked this person to take the novels back to the Kamisato Estate. The follower naturally had no objections.
In this way, only Zeyan and another follower were still with Kamisato Ayaka.
"We should go now. Next, we'll go to Naganohara Fireworks to take a look. I have some related business there," Kamisato Ayaka said to the remaining two.
Zeyan immediately came back to his senses and followed Kamisato Ayaka.
However, upon hearing that they were going to Naganohara Fireworks, he couldn't help but think of Yoimiya, whom he had met not long ago. Her full name seemed to be Naganohara Yoimiya, and she was from that Naganohara Fireworks shop, right?
So, going to that place would mean dealing with her again? But that person didn't seem very easy to get along with.
A scarlet cherry blossom petal was blown by the wind and floated past Zeyan's eyes.
Zeyan subconsciously raised his hand and pinched the petal, revealing a smile. He felt that he didn't really need to consider this aspect; he only needed to care about the things he needed to care about.
Soon after, they arrived at Naganohara Fireworks. It was located on a street in Inazuma City called Hanamizaka. Boxes of fireworks were placed outside the house, and some were tied in bundles next to the boxes. Outside the shop, a white-haired man stood there, looking quite old.
This person was the previous owner of Naganohara Fireworks and Yoimiya's father, Naganohara Ryuunosuke.
Seeing him, Kamisato Ayaka walked over and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, is Yoimiya here?"
Ryuunosuke turned around upon hearing the voice and smiled. "Oh, it's Miss Kamisato. Welcome to Hanamizaka. By the way, did you just say something?"
Kamisato Ayaka said softly, "I wanted to ask if Yoimiya is in. Last time, I ordered some fireworks from her. Calculating the time, they should be ready. I came to pick them up this time."
Ryuunosuke scratched his ear and said apologetically, "What? Did the last incident cause trouble for the Yashiro Commission's fire brigade again? I'm really sorry about that, but how customers use the fireworks after taking them is beyond our control. We're also helpless."
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Ryuunosuke helplessly. "Uh... Please don't misunderstand. I didn't come because of the last incident. I just came to find Yoimiya. Is she here?"
Ryuunosuke said with a smile, "Oh, you said the fireworks from last year's festival were very beautiful? I thought so too. Ever since I handed over the fireworks shop to Yoimiya, that little girl has done a really good job. No wonder she's called the Queen of the Summer Festival. I'm proud of this daughter."
Kamisato Ayaka: "..."
Although she knew that Mr. Ryuunosuke's hearing wasn't very good due to his age, it was still very frustrating for him to repeatedly misunderstand her words.
Helpless, Kamisato Ayaka had no choice but to raise her voice. "Is Yoimiya here?"
This time, Ryuunosuke heard clearly. "Yoimiya? She hasn't returned yet. Is there something you need? Let me see if I can help."
Kamisato Ayaka had no choice but to loudly mention the ordered fireworks, finally making Ryuunosuke understand the situation.
Ryuunosuke smiled and said, "Those fireworks have been ready for a long time, they're in the warehouse. I can get them for you... Hmm, but if I leave, someone needs to watch the shop, uh."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled slightly. "I need to check the fireworks, and someone needs to carry them. So... Zeyan, you stay here and watch the fireworks shop for now."
Zeyan nodded. "No problem."
Kamisato Ayaka then left with the other person, following Ryuunosuke.
Zeyan moved a small stool and sat down outside the fireworks shop.
However, before his butt had even warmed up, Zeyan saw a beautiful girl walking unhurriedly down the street. It was Yoimiya.
As soon as he saw Yoimiya, Yoimiya had also seen him. She immediately quickened her pace and walked over. Without saying a word after getting closer, she just stared at him with a direct gaze.
Zeyan immediately offered a smile. "Miss Yoimiya."
Yoimiya's eyes flickered. "You recognize me?"
Zeyan nodded. Just as a look of joy appeared on Yoimiya's face, he said, "You are the owner of Naganohara Fireworks, the Queen of the Summer Festival, someone everyone in Inazuma knows. I understand now. Miss Yoimiya, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Hearing Zeyan's words, the smile that had just appeared on Yoimiya's face instantly froze.
This person was still pretending not to know her, pretending it was their first meeting.
Could it be that the impression she had left on people in the past was so bad that he wasn't even willing to admit knowing her? But what happened back then was also something she couldn't help, it wasn't intentional. Rather, what happened back then was voluntary on his part, it was hard to blame her, right?
Thinking this, Yoimiya couldn't help but feel a bit wronged, but on the surface, she wouldn't show it. After all, she was the Queen of the Summer Festival, an optimistic girl in the eyes of others. If she were to show a disheartened side, it would undoubtedly be very inappropriate.
Yoimiya then calmed the fluctuations in her heart and said, "Forget it, it's good that you're alive."
Zeyan scratched his head in confusion.
What did she mean by "it's good that you're alive"? Was Yoimiya cursing him?
"Miss Yoimiya, although I didn't recognize such a big figure like you before, which might have made you unhappy, directly cursing me to die is also very inappropriate, right?" Zeyan said unhappily.
Hearing this, Yoimiya suddenly felt a bit choked up. When had she cursed him to die?
Seeing his unhappy look, she felt a bit angry instead, her full chest rising and falling deeply a few times.
Next, Yoimiya didn't want to say anything more to Zeyan. There was a saying that had spread from somewhere, "You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep."
Yoimiya snorted softly and turned back into the fireworks shop.
Zeyan didn't dwell on it too much, because in his opinion, it wasn't a particularly important matter.
But speaking of which, now that Yoimiya was back, did he not need to watch the shop anymore?
Zeyan scratched his head and continued to sit in place.
Not long after, Kamisato Ayaka returned, but she was the only one who came back.
Seeing Zeyan, Kamisato Ayaka hid the joy in her eyes and said, "Zeyan, let's go to the next place."
Finally, using the excuse of carrying fireworks back to the Kamisato Estate, she had reasonably sent the last person away. Kamisato Ayaka was very happy because now it was just her and Zeyan.
Zeyan also roughly knew what the previous person had been instructed to do and didn't ask too much. After getting up from the stool, he walked onto the street with Kamisato Ayaka.
After the two left, Yoimiya walked out of the fireworks shop, tilted her head, and looked at the departing pair. "Zeyan is now a member of the Kamisato family?"
