 ”Alright! This is good enough!”

 Summer Summer means festivals!

 I’m going to run the Cafe Tomarigi summer festival pop-up shop in place of the owner, Yachiyo-san, who used to be my boss.

 ”Aqua-kun, are you really okay with this?”

 ”Of course! Leave it to me!!”

 Tomarigi’s owner, Yachiyo-san, hurt her back while preparing for the festival stall.

 I just happened to be passing by and saw her struggling, so I lent a hand. That’s Shirogane Aqua!!

 I turned around and called out to another helper.

 ”Is Emily-san really okay with this?”

 ”Yeah, it’s fine. Today is Takeko day off, and… if it’s okay with you, I’d be happy to help out.”

 Wow, what a pure and kind heart

 I’m embarrassed to be staring at her chest in front of me.

 Emily-san’s pure aura is making me feel like I’m being purified of my evil thoughts.

 ”Thanks. Let’s open up shop then!”

 ”U-um! I’ll put up the menu board outside then.”

 Emily-san puts up the menu board outside.

 Right away, our first customer arrives.

 ”Wow, this is Cafe Tomarigi’s summer festival pop-up shop!”

 ”What are you selling?”

 The customer looks at the menu board outside.

 ”Is yakisoba rare?”

 ”Yeah, it’s not usually on the menu… normally it’s spaghetti. So, how about that?”

 ”Yeah! Ah, shop staff!”

 Oh, it looks like the order is decided.

 I take out the yakisoba ingredients from the storage box.

 ”Two yakisoba and 2 ramune, please!”

 ”Okay. Two yakisoba and 2 ramune, got it.”

 Emily-san, who received an order from a customer, turns around with a smile.

 Ah, how cute is she? Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also a big-sister type with large breasts… Can I really work alongside someone like her and get paid by the hour?

 I’d even pay her myself if I had to.

 ”Two yakisoba, please!”

 ”Yes, coming right up!!”

 I stand up and head towards the counter with the ingredients I took out from the cooler box.

 ”A-Aqua-shama!?”

 ”Huh?!”

 What’s wrong with these two?

 I start grilling the meat on the hot iron plate.

 ”Just wait a bit, I’ll make it right away!”

 ”T-t-t-take your time, please. We can wait for 4 hours, 5 hours, or as long as you want.”

 ”I’ll wait forever if I have to… Please let me watch you for as long as I want.”

 No, no, it won’t take that long, okay? Yeah.

 I season the grilled meat with salt and pepper and stir-fry the cabbage.

 ”Did you two come from around here? Are you locals?”

 ”Eh, is this some kind of special service…?”

 ”As expected of Legendary shop Tomarigi, it’s like a god…”

 Huh? What did they say?

 I can’t hear anything over the sizzling sound of the iron plate.

 ”Uh, I’ve been coming to this festival since I was a kid, and, well, I haven’t been back to my hometown’s festival in a while, so I thought I’d come back…”

 ”We’re currently attending universities in Kansai and Tohoku, and we’re back in our hometown for the first time in a while, so we met up today.”

 ”Hmm, that’s nice. I guess I’ll have to give you some special service then!”

 I add noodles to the iron plate and mix them with the ingredients.

 Whoa, it’s getting hot.

 I wipe the sweat and roll up my sleeves.

 ”Whoa, amazing service…”

 ”Ugh, just looking at the veins popping out on his arm is making me feel like I’m going to get a nosebleed.”

 I pick up an egg that’s nearby and make a sunny-side up.

 In the meantime, I mix the sauce with the noodles…

 ”Hmm, you 2 usually do tutoring jobs, right?”

 ”Yes, that’s right.”

 ”We’re teaching middle school students on the other side.”

 A college girl tutor… Ah, what a great combination.

 I also wanted a beautiful, big-breasted college girl tutor when I was in high school.

 Huh? When I was in high school…? Wait, what? I’m still in high school right now!!

 So, I’m going to make some amazing summer memories with beautiful, big-breasted, magical, and mature female tutor, right?!

 I turn my gaze towards Emily-san.

 ’Shirogane-kun, it seems like your physical education grades are low, but is that okay? Sensei will use her body to teach you about girls’ bodies, okay?’

 Wooohoooo~~~!

 This is the best

 If that’s the case, I’d also like to learn about the secrets of the human body, like how to receive pollen and stuff.

 But, that’s not the priority right now. The yakisoba is done, so I need to pack it up quickly.

 ”Do you want mayonnaise?”

 ”Yes!”

 ”Me too!”

 I put a fried egg on top of the yakisoba and hand it to Emily-san.

 As a service to the big sisters I reunited with, I made the fried egg double-sized.

 ”Can we get mayonnaise, green onions, and katsuobushi, and also some pickled ginger topping?”

 ”Yes!”

 As expected, Emily-san, who’s been working as a part-time leader at Ramen Takeko and has a license, is skilled. She’s got great hands.

 Meanwhile, I take out a chilled Ramune soda.

 ”Do you know how to open it? Want me to open it for you?”

 ””Yes, please!!””

 Whoa! The 2 big sisters’ breasts are now at eye level.

 Is this service really okay?!

 ”Here you go! Please go ahead!”

 I open the Ramune and hand it to the big sisters.

 From their reaction earlier, it seems like both of them really wanted to drink Ramune.

 ”Yes, that’ll be 2 yakisoba for 400 yen each, and one Ramune for 100 yen, making it a total of 1000 yen.”

 ”Yessssssss!”

 ”Aqua-sama’s sweat-dropped yakisoba for 400 yen, and Aqua-sama’s opened Ramune for 100 yen?! And on top of that, the conversation and smile from earlier are priceless…. This is crazy, or what?”

 Huh? I didn’t catch what they said next, but since both of them are smiling, it’s all good!

 ”Thanks, you two! Enjoy the summer festival!!”

 ”Yes, thank you!”

 ”It’s already become a lifelong memory. Thank you!”

 I waved goodbye to the big sisters and packed the remaining yakisoba I made together into a pack.

 Tomarigi has a lot of menu items, so we need to prepare them in advance or we won’t make it in time.

 ”Uh, do you have Choco Banana and Frankfurter?”

 Oh, it seems like a new customer has arrived.

 ”Yes! Just a minute!”

 I took out a skewered Frankfurter from the case.

 ”Aqua-kunnnn!?!”

 ”Uh!? No, no, I’m helping out here today…”

 I told the big sisters that I’m helping out temporarily today.

 Of course, I grilled the Frankfurter on the iron plate during that time,

 ”What?! Aqua-sama?!”

 ”Aqua-sama is serious?!”

 ”He’s really Aqua-sama, isn’t he?!”

 ”And with Choco Banana on the Frankfurter?!”

 ”This is crazy. I can’t eat someone else’s Frankfurter like that!”

 ”This is Aqua-sama’s Choco Banana! Hurry up!!”

 Whoa! A line formed in no time.

 Yeah, it’s a summer festival, after all. And Tomarigi has a lot of menu items, so it’s popular.

 ”Sorry. Just a minute.”

 ”Yes!”

 I chatted with the big sisters like before.

 The two of them work at a company in the city and said they participate in this festival every year.

 ”Please sell the yakisoba pack from earlier since the line is long!”

 ”Yes!”

 As expected of Emily-san. She’s really good at this, just like a seasoned pro.

 The two of us have a rhythm like a long-married couple.

 ”Aqua-sama’s handmade yakisoba, possibly with sweat soaked in, is 400 yen per pack! It’s first-come, first-served, so hurry up!”

 ”I’ll buy this!”

 ”Me too!!”

 ”There are 2 of us, so we’ll take 2 packs, please!”

 ”Okay! We’ll get to you in order, so wait a bit!”

 Oh, the Frankfurter is done.

 I took one in my hand and applied a lot of mustard and ketchup, then turned to the big sisters.

 ”Aqua-kun’s Frankfurter is really big…”

 The big sister seemed to think something and suddenly took a big bite of the Frankfurter.

 Sorry. You must have been hungry and had to wait.

 ”Mmm…”

 Ugh… This is way too erotic, even for me…

 If I had a senpai like this at work, I’d be totally motivated to work overtime every day.

 ”Ah, sorry about that. I just…”

 ”Ahaha, it’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

 I take out a chocolate banana from the freezer and offer it to another big sister.

 As soon as I do, she starts devouring the chocolate banana too.

 ”Mmm… Mmm…”

 That’s so erotic!

 If a healthy and innocent high school boy like me sees a beautiful big sister like that right in front of him, I’m gonna be restless at night.

 ”Ah… I couldn’t help myself, and…”

 ”It’s okay, it’s okay. Um, the Frankfurt and chocolate banana were 200 yen each, right?”

 ”Huh, that’s cheap…”

 ”Why are you selling it at such a volunteer price like that?”

 Yeah, I get it. It’s usually over 300 yen, right?

 Maybe Yachiyo-san’s sense of price is stuck in the past, like 10 years ago or something.

 ”Yes, that’ll be 400 yen. Thank you.”

 I wave goodbye to the 2 girls, saying, “Have fun at the festival!”

 ”Um, can I have 3 shaved ice cones, please?”

 ”Okay! What flavors do you want? We have strawberry, lemon, melon, blue Hawaii, and milk topping too!”

 They’re a group of 3 girls, probably around elementary to middle school age.

 I’m reminded of my little sister Lapis and can’t help but smile.

 While the girls are choosing their flavors, I shave the ice and make the shaved ice cones.

 ”Ah, then I’ll have strawberry!”

 ”Got it!”

 I pour a lot of strawberry syrup on her shaved ice.

 ”Brother, can you put a lot of milk on Mii’s strawberry shaved ice?”

 ”OK, I’ll give you a lot of milk service!”

 I put a lot of milk on Mii-chan’s shaved ice, who looks even younger than Lapis.

 ”Thanks, brother, for putting a lot of milk on my shaved ice!”

 ”Then I’ll have lemon syrup! Brother, can you put a lot of milk on Yuka-chan’s lemon shaved ice too?”

 ”Leave it to this brother! I’ll put a lot of milk on Yuka-chan’s shaved ice!”

 Yuka-chan is probably around 2nd year in middle school.

 Her childish smile gives me energy too.

 ”Yuka’s lemon syrup shaved ice, with big brother’s condensed milk, is super drippy! Thanks for making it so delicious!”

 ”Uh-uh, so, Natsu, you like the Blue Hawaii flavor, right? Big brother, Natsu loves sweet things, so please put lots of condensed milk on her shaved ice too!”

 ”Of course! I’ll put extra condensed milk on Natsu’s shaved ice!”

 Natsu-chan is probably a lower-grade elementary school student.

 She’s so cute. Maybe one of 3 sisters? Okay, I’ll put lots of condensed milk on her shaved ice!

 ”Big brother, thanks for putting lots of your white and drippy condensed milk on Natsu’s shaved ice!”

 ”Yes, no problem! Three of them are 600 yen, and the condensed milk is a service from big brother!”

 ”””Yay! Thank you so much!!”””

 I waved at the 3 sisters.

 Man, they’re such innocent kids.

 I’m ashamed of myself for thinking dirty thoughts just now.

 ”Kids, amazing…”

 ”Damn, they must know what the eldest sister-type girl doing.”

 ”No, all 3 of them are definitely confident.”

 ”There’s a theory that only the youngest, Natsu-chan, knows what’s going on, and the eldest and second sisters don’t.”

 ”You guys, don’t become like Hagetoru or Chinposuki in the future, okay?”

 ”If Aqua-sama understood the meaning, this would be a crime.”

 ”Looking at it this way, Aqua-sama is still pure after all.”

 ”Aqua-kun who doesn’t understand the meaning is so cute.”

 Oh, I don’t have time to slack off.

 I need to keep taking orders and making treats for the next customers.

 ”Please sell these frankfurters and choco-bananas too, okay?”

 ”Yeah, okay. Please do.”

 Emily-san stuck a skewer into a Styrofoam board and headed towards the line of customers.

 ”It’s Aqua-sama’s frankfurters and Aqua-sama’s choco-bananas! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, 200 yen each!”

 ”Give it to me!”

 ”Me too!!”

 ”Big sister, please give it to me!”

 ”Okay, okay, I’ll go in order.”

 If the yakisoba runs out, I’ll just make some more, and in the meantime, I’ll make some kakigori… eh? Crepes? Of course, I can do that too! Ah, I’ll also grill some Frankfurt sausages. But, there aren’t enough people! And to make matters worse, we’re running out of ingredients!!

 In a situation like this, I have no choice but to use my secret technique.

 ”Sorry, can you wait for a bit?”

 ”Yes, I can wait for another year!”

 I thought that was an exaggeration, but I didn’t have the luxury to think about it now.

 I looked around at the surrounding shops. Ah, why is it only crowded here?!

 ”Ah, um…”

 ”Y-yes!”

 I called out to the big sister running the neighboring stall.

 ”Do you have any extra ingredients? If you do, I’d like to buy them from you…”

 ”It’s okay, and if you’d like, I can even help you out.”

 ”Really?!”

 ”Yes. Anyway, I’m free, and I’m sure the people around here will help out too.”

 The big sister called out to the people running the surrounding stalls.

 Geez, what a nice person!!

 Thanks to the big sister gathering materials and people, the line started moving again.

 ”I’ll start serving customers too!”

 I went in front of the stall and started handing out the finished products to the customers.

 ”Come visit our main store too!”

 ”Yes, I will!”

 ”Thanks for coming today!”

 ”No, thank you!”

 ”Enjoy the summer festival!”

 ”This is already the best summer festival ever!!”

 I wonder how much time passed after that.

 In the end, we ran out of products, and I shook hands with the customers who had been waiting in line and finished up.

 ”Thank you, everyone!”

 I thanked the big sisters who had helped me and took a photo with them together.

 After that, we loaded up the car driven by Yachiyo-san’s daughter, who had come to help with the cleanup.

 ”Aqua-kun, and Emily-san, thank you so much for today!”

 Emily-san and I received our pay for today’s work from Yachiyo-san.

 Is it really okay to receive this much…?

 We thanked Yachiyo-san and parted ways.

 ”Emily-san, want me to give you a ride home on my bike?”

 ”Ah, yeah. Thanks.”

 Whoa, Emily-san’s big… thing hit my back.

 I’m telling you, this isn’t on purpose. It’s just an accident.

 Fuuh, I take a deep breath and grip the handlebars.

 I’ll make sure to avoid bike accidents, unlike that lucky pervert’s accident.

 ”Whoa, this is faster than Takeko’s bike!!”

 I keep riding the bike with Emily-san on board.

 We pass by ladies in yukatas, kids enjoying fireworks with their moms by the riverbank.

 In the distance, I hear the sound of fireworks going off.

 I catch a glimpse of Emily-san’s profile in the bike’s mirror, and my heart skips a beat.

 ”What are you looking at?”

 I snap back to reality. It seems I was lost in thought, looking at an old photo album.

 I close the album and turn around to face Emily, who’s smiling at me.

 ”No, I was just looking at last year’s summer festival photos.”

 ”Ah, yeah, that was before Aqua and Kanon got married. Nostalgic, huh?”

 I pull Emily, who’s sitting next to me, close to me.

 ”Hey, why don’t we all go to my parents’ house and have a summer festival like we did back then? Just like Emily and I ran a stall together?”

 ”Yeah, that sounds good. Kanon can join in on the fun too.”

 ”Alright, then let’s plan a surprise summer festival from the two of us!”

 ”Yeah! I’ll go see if there’s anything we can use for it.”

 ”OK!”

 I put the album back in its original place and follow Emily back to the living room.
