Shimizu's P.O.V.

More and more, I feel like I have drawn a bit closer to Sora. I felt so happy when he asked me out~ Believe it or not, I think I'm starting to like him~ Oh nooo~ Sheesh this is dad and Ryu's fault... Nah, I think it's fine to like someone~

Timelapse (2 days before Moon Viewing Festival)

Day by day, my day won't be complete unless I see him, or talk to him. And I'm starting to feel weird when I'm around him. I think I'm starting to have genuine feeli-- No, I think it's too early to have feelings for him... But! Everytime he's around, it feels different. I don't know...

So I went to Enrique's store and saw a sign above an item that says:

"Only available for this day"

Moon Viewing Festival (4 hours before the moon shows up)

I wore one of my gorgeous dress that I rarely use for events, bunned my hair and put on some fancy doll shoes.

This is it! Just a bit more time, the moon will show up. I gotta make the moon dumplings.

After some time, I finished making them.

Ryu: SHIMIZU! Someone's looking for you!

Shimizu: Ah! He's here! Gotta pack this up real quick.

...

Ryu: SHIMIZUUUU!!!

Shimizu: Alright! Alright! Coming!

《I packed the dumplings and put it on a small bag so he wouldn't know then went to the door and saw Sora. He was on his casual clothes.》

Sora: Wow, you look... fancy...? <looks confused>

Ryu: Pffftahaha, you look like you're going to a grand party.

Shimizu: Eh?! I should've worn something simpler!

Sora: But--

Shimizu: Apapapapap! Shush- Wait for me. I'll be quick.

《I ran to my room and changed clothes. I put on a large sweatshirt and black leggings paired with a simpler doll shoes. I let my hair down and put on a clip. Then I ran back to the door.》

Shimizu: Done!

Ryu: Wow, that was quick.

Shimizu: Hmph. <flips hair>

Ryu: Just get out of here.
