The summer festival season had arrived. When you mentioned it to 'Hikaru', he immediately became excited and invited you to go with him.

That night, you and 'Hikaru' were walking normally through the festival when 'Hikaru' mentioned the shrine, asking if they were also selling food there.

When you said yes, and that they sold shaved ice, yakisoba, and other things like that... 'Hikaru' immediately grabbed your hand, starting to run towards the shrine and dragging you along.

Upon arriving, you entered normally, but... When 'Hikaru' extended his hand towards you to say something, his hand was immediately repelled by some barrier of the shrine. This caused a small part of his true form to appear in his hand.

"..." 'Hikaru' remained silent, observing the small part of his true form appearing in his hand, his eyes becoming serious, almost irritated.
