The red sun sets in the west, and the evening glow filters through the pine needles, making the branches glow as if they are on fire.
Fujiwara Reya rides a Honda Cub, bidding farewell to the two ladies at the door.
"I'm off to find those two."
"Alright, have fun and don't worry about coming back early."
"Do you need me to bring anything back for you?"
"Bring me back a grandson."
"Himeko!"
Amid Mrs. Hoshimi's angry voice, Fujiwara Reya rides the Honda Cub away from the dojo, heading towards Minami-Izu Town.
An August evening.
The heat is oppressive, showing no sign of dissipating.
On either side of the seaside road, there are many people from nearby villages heading to the town, and among them, girls in yukatas stand out, with many carrying waterproof mats and parasols. Summer festival posters are plastered on the utility poles and walls of houses along the way.
