"Hmm~🎵"

I can't help but hum a song as I prepare myself for a date, Yep you heard it right~ A date!~

You see, I have a crush on my childhood friend for like an eternity now, and the last  before the summer break while on the lunch break, I mustered up all the courage in me to confess and guess what, my confession was accepted! I have a girlfriend now, and tomorrow is our first date, this is the happiest day of my life!! I wish this bliss would never end~!

I'm so excited that I couldn't get enough sleep yesterday!

Anyways its almost time for our first date, bye~

I wrote the last sentences on my diary, closed the book and hide it on my drawer's makeshift secret compartment.

You might say its childish to still write on diary when I'm already in high school, it really is, this is actually my diary when i was younger, I'm not writing on it anymore, I didn't even remember that this thing existed until I accidentally opened the makeshift drawer compartment that Rikka and I made when we were still kids, I saw it and thought, why not write again this one last time? this is the best day of my life anyways, I want it recorded. And that's it-, Oh no the time! Gotta go now!!

After that, I put on my favorite rubber shoes and finally left to the date's promised location.

…

"Oh my god I'm so excited and nervous at the same time!!"

I said to myself as I walk around in circles waiting for my date to arrive

"Hiro~!"

As I circle around panickingly I suddenly heard a familiar voice, Its her.

I immediately looked to where the voice came from, and there I saw, from a distance away there was a goddess approaching me.

"Hiroooo! Sorry I'm lateee I was so excited yesterday that I couldn't get enough sleep"

The black haired goddess was wearing a white one piece dress coupled by a straw hat and sandals, It was the goddess of summer

"Hirooooo!!!!!!! Are you listening to me!? Ah-!"

Before I noticed it the goddess was already on the ground, she tripped and fell didn’t she? Rikka has always been a clumsy person even when we’re kids

“Rikka are you okay!?”

I immediately ran to her and assisted her to standing up

“Uu… I’m fine, don’t worry about me, Hiro.. Hiro? Oii Hiro are you there???”

"Ah sorry, Its just that you're so beautiful I thought a goddess has descended"

>////<

"M-mouu! You're teasing me again hmmph!"

"No I'm not I just said what I honestly thought about you"

"Argh! Lets just go now for how long are you planning on standing there!?"

The goddess that was now blushing hard from what I said took my arm and prompted me to start the date, she's so cute I'm gonna have a diabetes!! I need insulin right now!!!

Thinking that, we proceeded to go to the first location of our planned date

"Look Hiro! Its penguins!! ITS PENGUINS!!!!!!! Aren't those little creatures so cute??"

Rikka exclaimed and jumped around after seeing the penguins on the aquarium calling them cute

"Yeah yeah, you're the cutest here though"

"Mmph....."

After my line I suddenly feel my arm being squeezed tighter and when I look to my side, I saw my girlfriend, Rikka having a face as red as rose while pouting

AAAAAAAAA!!!!! YOU'RE JUST SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!

After that we look through the aquarium some more then went outside to eat lunch

"Ummmmmmmmmmaiiiiii!!!"

Rikka exclaimed as she cutely munched the pastel pink colored macaron on her hand

...Cute!

"Oh look! they have the super soft oshiri daifuku, I wanna try it!"

After finishing the macarons she immediately grabbed my hand and dragged me into the butt bun stall

"You never get full do you?"

I said in awe of her appetite, Crepe, Cotton candy, Smoothie, Mango Graham, etc.... from the start of our date, she's already eaten so many times and she's still not full

"Fu-fu-fu, don't under estimate the appetite of a growing young lady"

Said Rikka, patting her chest while wearing a smug face

"Hai hai, you're definitely growing"

"Oi are you saying that I'm short?"

"Oh no I'm not, I'm just stating the truth, you're definitely growing"

"Ah..! Did you just look at my chest..."

"No I did not, I'm totally innocent here"

"Objection! I really saw you look at my big chest"

"Wow, really emphasized the big part there"

"Of course this is one of my biggest asset, my friend's are a lot bigger though"

Well It's really big, no cap It's D cup

"Did you say something?"

"No, I said look they're having a lottery there!"

"Really? Let's go then, what are you waiting for??"

Just like that, I got dragged again

“Ahhh!! Why did I lose 30 times in a row!?!?! It’s rigged!! Definitely rigged!!” Rikka shouted in frustration while still rolling the lever

“Oi don’t say that, Umm I’m really sorry sir for her attitude” I said while trying to drag her away from the lottery lever

She’s been doing this for god knows when, I said she’s just unlucky but as always, she Rikka never liked losing, she can’t accept that the kid earlier won a plush toy.

My wallet has been crying, the money I saved for years have been disappearing like water falling on a straw basket, meanwhile my hand is getting full of tissues as consolation prize

“It’s fine its fine hehe, rather its fun to see young uns that are so energetic”

“Oi Rikka lets go now, look there’s a cat café there” I said still trying to drag her away

“For real? Let’s go then!!” Saying that, she dashed to the cat café’s direction with me on tow

 

*Purr...purr....*

The cat sitting on my lap continues to purr as I caress her gently

"It's just the two of us huh?"

I said to Cely, apparently this gray cat who's with me is named Cely

*Purr...*

Cely purred at me as if saying yes then after that she continues to lay around

Yup it really is just us, I muttered as I look at Rikka who's drowning at the cats

Most of the Cat cafe's cat is with her, only a select few including Cely is with me and the other customers

"You're so cute~ Oh my god you too, of course Tsumusuke too is cute"

Who the hell named that poor black cat tsumusuke? I thought to myself as a certain explotion loli entered my imagination

Anyways seeing Rikka frolicking around with cats has gathered the attention of many, some are looking warmly, the others are looking with envy because she hoarded all the cats and some are looking at her... chest!?

I immediately grabbed Cely with me and went towards her to join the cuddle, I also grabbed Tsumusuke and used her to cover her chest without her noticing

"Aww man she has a boyfriend"

Yes that's right suckers!! This girl is mine!! Don't look at her like that ever again! I’ll curse your next 72 generations!!

"Thank you..."

Rikka said blushing, she used Tsumusuke to cover her embarrassed face

She really is cute

After our time is up, we went outside and saw the sky getting dark, so we decided to move somewhere calm

The night of the park was so empty, with the moon and the street lights only illuminating the two of us

*creaks*

"It's really quiet in here isn't it?"

Rikka said, gently pushing herself off the ground to swing

"Not really, I can hear the scream of the swing telling you to-"

I was about to finish my sentence when I saw her angy face, scary

"E-ehem... It is pretty quiet, the kids has left since its nearing night after all"

Saying that, I sat down to the swing next to her

"I wish this would never end..."

Unconsciously saying what I really feel, I pushed the ground to wing myself

"Yeah, me too.."

Meanwhile, on the distance, we both saw some people wearing a kimono, kids and adults alike, it looks like they were all heading to the same place

"Hey Hiro, are they launching the fireworks today?"

"I don't know, It was delayed last week so maybe they moved the date today. I heard they were also launching a super large fireworks attempting to beat the world record of the largest firework"

"Heeeh... wanna go and find out?"

Saying that, I, again got immediately dragged away in an unplanned festival date

--

Atop the hill below the shrine, the street was thriving and loud, the sounds of the crowd was emanating happiness in the atmosphere

*mogu mogu*

"Uwaaa... Delicious!!!"

Rikka said while munching on her yakisoba and takoyaki making mogu mogu sounds

Seeing that I unconciously said "Oh my god you're so precious...!!"

But my wallet though... I can feel it’s crying blood

"Did you say something?"

"No I didn't-"

"Hiro look they have cotton candies and candied apple too!!"

This girl.. she didn't even let me finish my sentence yet I was dragged away again

She's full of smiles, sorry wallet but  just seeing her like this makes all my expenses worth it.

After Rikka finished eating, we moved to the riverbank in the bottom of the shrine to rest while also waiting for the fireworks display

"Haaaah... I'm full!!"

Uwaaa!! finally!! I'm extremely worried if my wallet is gonna hold up, I said to myself in tears

"Hiro"

I was in the middle of my little wallet drama when Rikka suddenly called my name

"Hmm-"

*chu*

As I look at her, I was immediately met with a kiss on my cheek

"Come here..."

Then she signalled me to sit on her lap

I was so embarrassed that I cant speak and just silently followed what she said

"Thank you for today, Hiro... this is the best day of my life"

"Hnn.."

I was still embarrassed so I just nodded in agreement

After that we just silently watched the stars and before I noticed people has been swarming everywhere, It was finally the time to launch fireworks

They are launching the fireworks on the other side of the river so I sit up and to have a better view

*pin ponn*

Thank you everyone for coming to our annual Summer Fireworks Festival

We will now commence the fireworks display including the giant firework aiming to break the world record of largest fireworks display on the planet on 10

“Launch!!!”

*shaaa…*

*Boom!!*

For a while we both silently watched the firework until the biggest one came up, once it launched all people voiced their amusement, and anticipation of what it would look like… but that emotion would not last long…

“Hey doesn’t it look like the fireworks is falling?”

“Wasn’t that thing supposed to explode at the sky? Why does it look like its falling directly at us?”

“It is!! Runn!!”

“People immediately panicked and started running for their lives only caring about themselves and their loved ones

Fear quickly enveloped the people around us, It was too late when they noticed, the rocket, that was supposed to explode on the sky didn’t work, instead its heading straight towards us falling fast

“Rikka stand up, we’re running!”

I immediately stood up and pulled Rikka’s hands

“Hey hiro… I love you”

“Oi… What do you mean by that??”

I asked her

“My foot..”

Saying that, she removed her shoes, socks and showed me her foot, It was dark and swollen, that time, I immediately realized

“You… that’s from the morning didn’t it, why is that there!? You acted normal after that didn’t you?? You even ran and jumped multiple times.. Don’t tell me…”

At that moment many emotions run through my body mainly confusion and anger as to why didn’t I notice it sooner, she was going to the bathroom multiple times, so she was tending to her foot at that time…

“I don’t want to ruin our precious first date… ahaha”

Saying that, she tried her best to smile

“You’re always like that, I love you too but I won’t give up, I’ll carry you all the way!!”

Declaring that I carried her on princess carry and proceeded to run away, she was extra heavy today since she was full

“No stop we won’t make it!!”

Most of the people here are gone I need to speed up too

“No I won’t let go of you!!”

The moment I said that sentence, I suddenly felt a weird sense of déjà vu as if this scenario already happened to me a thousand times no… a million times, Various image of Rikka dead suddenly flodded my head and I felt the greatest head ache I ever felt in my life

“aa- aaaaaa!!! What is this!?! My memory!!”

That time while I was in the state of confusion, Rikka got down and pushed me to the river

“Hiro are you okay? I’m sorry about this but I want you to live…”

The last scene I saw was the rocket directly hitting Rikka and Exploding

That moment I decided that I would rather die than live without her so I should just let myself drown

Or that’s what should’ve happened, A cracked suddenly opened and I was sucked into it.
