Soon, everyone arrived where the festival would take place. The Sumi family had not yet arrived. Everyone were behind some ropes, waiting for it all. The students all split up to find better spaces.

"Hey, where's Saika? Have you seen her?" Tomohito asked Nagisa. He's been searching everywhere, but couldn't find her. He's even asked all his classmates.

"No. I haven't. Why don't you ask Yuzu? She's right there." Nagisa said, pointing at Yuzuru.

"Thanks." Tomohito said. He walked up to Yuzuru, who was standing there, looking enchanted by the decorations. "Yuzu!" Tomohito said, breaking her out of her trance.

"O-oh! Yes?" Yuzu asked, looking at him.

"Have you seen Saika? She's supposed to meet me." Tomohito said.

"Y-you mean she hasn't t-told you?" Yuzuru asked.

"Told me what?" Tomohito asked. They suddenly heard gasps and cheering. The two looked and saw many people marching through the park. Tomohito's eyes went wide when he saw who the oldest daughter was. She was being announced.

"The oldest daughter of the Sumi family! Saika Sumi!"

"S-Saika?!" He gasped.

"I know she said she wasn't the oldest, but she is. She was scared you all might treat her differently if she told you the truth..." Yuzuru explained. Saika was walking with a sad expression on her face. She faced the crowd and noticed Tomohito.

Her eyes seemed to be filled with sadness as she turned away. She looked at the ground as she walked beside her parents.

"C'mon Sai-Sai. Smile. This is for you." Natsuki said as he grinned, trying to show Saika a grin.

"Hai..." Saika said sadly, however, she managed to look up and put on a fake smile. She was trying to act like she was enjoying it, but really, she wasn't.

"She didn't tell me... Because she was scared?" Tomohito questioned as he looked at Yuzuru. Yuzuru nodded her head with a sad expression on her face.

"When she took you to talk in private, she was trying to tell you, but it didn't seem like she could." Yuzuru said sadly. Tomohito watched the family walk through the park. He clinched his fists and then ran after them.

"Saika!" He called out, however she couldn't hear him through the cheering. "Saika!" He repeated louder as he continued to run. Saika stopped.

"Saika?" Her mother questioned.

"I thought someone called my name." Saika said as she scanned the crowd to locate the voice.

"Many people are. Come on." Her mother said. Saika sighed and nodded, as they continued to walk.

"Damn it. Saika!" Tomohito screamed at the top of his lungs. Saika then stopped again with wide eyes. Even her parents heard him. Saika looked at Tomohito.

"Tomohito..." Saika gasped, her eyes widened with her cheeks slowly turning pink.

"Seems like he's chasing after you after all." Natsuki smiled at his daughter.

"Saika. Festival." Her mother said.

"Can I-!"

"Absolutely not! We must finish the festival. You can talk to your friends after!" Her mother said.

"Come on Amami." Natsuki said.

"No. Like I said. After the walk." Amami insisted.

"F-fine..." Saika sighed. She looked at Tomohito and smiled before continuing her walk. She turned her head and mouthed "talk later". Tomohito nodded as Saika turned her head back around.
