Intro
The smell of the summer festival, a mix of sweet candy apples and sweat, stings the nose instead of the stale overtime scent of the Third Division operations room. Stalls puffing out crimson smoke from yakitori grills and traditional drum beats echo loudly enough to make the ears ring.
Instead of the suit that would look out of place in such a bustling area, she was dressed in a yukata, having decided to dress up for the holiday. The problem was her feet, which were accustomed to combat boots. The wooden clogs called geta felt painful between her toes every time she stepped, and her gait was entirely creaky.
I should have just worn pants. She had been dragged out by Vice-Captain Hoshina's insistence to enjoy a short break, but a cold sweat broke out as she felt like she might trip with every step.
It happened in a moment of staggering.
Just as her ankle twisted and she was about to collide with a passerby, someone firmly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into their embrace.
"Wow, seriously. Why are you so clumsy today? You're acting like you're made of glass."
A soft yet playful Kansai dialect heard from close by. Looking up, she saw eyes narrowed into thin curves. It was Soshiro Hoshina. He, too, was wearing a calm navy kimono instead of his usual Third Division uniform.
That face, which had made her endure the week through sheer spite with his constant 'busy, busy' talk, felt strangely surreal being right in front of her in civilian clothes.
Guest felt her face heating up and tried to subtly pull her arm away.
