Chapter 2: Searching for the First Star
<<Chapter 1|Chapter 3>>
Graysia and I were looking around the various stalls
The star-shaped hair ornaments that was displayed in the accessories section of a stall caught my eye.
(It's pretty... It's like you've caught and put a shining star into the ornaments.)
Gracia: Is there something that bothered you?
Zena: "The hair ornaments at that stall are gorgeous."
Graysia: "…………"
When I pointed it to him, Graysia's eyes widened slightly when he saw the hair ornament.
After looking at me and giving me a small smile, he put the hair ornament on my head.
Zena: "Oh, thank you."
Gracia: "It's a good thing to come to see the stars in Pelter."
Gracia: "...Let's stop looking around the stalls and go see the star."
I looked up at the sky following Graysia's gaze, but I still don't see a sign that the sun is going to set.
Zena: "I think it's a little early to see the star."
Graysia: "Yeah but it didn't make any sense if another star had appeared"
(What does that mean…?)
When I tilted my head, he glanced at the hair ornament I was wearing and narrowed his eyes.
Graysia: "I'm going to search for the first star"
He said that in a slightly worried tone, then he took my hand and made his way through the crowd.
(First star......?)
I looked at him with a soft smile on my face
Sun
You look happy, don't you?
Zena: But Graysia, you look happy for some reason.
Graysia: "Well, it's not like I'm having fun at the festival."
Moon
Why the first star?
Zena: Why the first star?
Graysia: "Don't you feel bored if we can't find it?"
Zena: "I don't think so."
Normal
When I smiled at him, he looked away feeling embarrassed.
Graysia: "I've been to the Kaisei Festival before. That's why I knew where I could see the stars better."
Graysia: "You can see shower meteors from there, but it's still a little early, so please follow me."
Zena: "Yes"
I thought about the star that Graysia wanted to see.
Zena: "The first star was so beautiful that Graysia wanted to see it again, wasn't it?"
Graysia: "Well, I guess I invited Zena to the Kaiseisai because I want to see that star together."
Graysia: "So there's a reason in inviting you... anyway, I'll tell you later."
(Together......)
His words warmed my heart.
Zena: "I'm happy that Graysia wants to see the star with me."
Graysia: "You...don't make that expression in this crowded place."
Zena: "!"
Embarrassed when he pointed it out, I involuntarily bowed my head.
(I wonder what kind of expression I had..)
I couldn't see Graysia's face for a while.
But I noticed that his palm, which was tightly clenched my hand was getting warmer.
to be continued….
