Chapter 9: Found You
"So… how did you get separated from Karma?", asked Maehara
Nagisa laughes nervously. "it's kinda funny, but I'm not really sure how we got separated?"
"Eh?" Isogai asks. "You did not know?"
"Y…yeah"
Isogai then adds another question. "Have you contacted him?"
"I have." Nagisa states and sighes. "But, he did not answer."
The two boys then look at the girl and pat her. "Then, should we find him together?"
"Eh?! No, I don't want to trouble both of you. I think I can manage it myself."
"That won't do, Nagisa." Maehara cross his arms and disagrees. "What if some weird guys try to hit on you again?"
Nagisa gives a small chuckle. "Maehara-kun, it's kinda funny for you to say that."
"EH?!" Maehara shocks with her statement. "WHY?!"
"Well." Nagisa continues her chuckle. "I mean it's you. Like I won't believe it if you said you have never hit on a girl in a festival like this."
Maehara tries to change Nagisa perception of him. "Nagisa, I might have date a countless of girls. But I am a gentleman. I am in much higher rank than those guy."
"But she is kind of right, you know.",said Isogai.
Maehara looks disbelief with his friend response. "Isogai… not you too."
"But Maehara is right, Nagisa." Isogai gives a smile out of concern and pats Nagisa on the shoulder. "It's dangerous for a girl to walk in a crowd alone. I know you can defend yourself, but it's better if you stick around us. It's much safer."
Maehara gives a thumbs up toward Isogai short speech. "Nice one, mister class rep."
Nagisa nods slowly. "Okay…"
Maehara gives a large smile. "Great! Then let's go!"

Meanwhile, Karma tries his best to search for Nagisa in the crowd. He has no idea how did they get separated. Not to mention, the girl has a small stature which makes her pretty hard to find. He has a very hard time to find her.
'Just where is she?'
Karma decides to check his phone and makes a call to Nagisa. Unfortunately, his phone is nowhere to be found.
'Where is it?!'
In that blink of moment, he remembered something. He… left his phone in the dining table.
'Talk about bad luck… how the hell did I left it home…'
His thought is suddenly interrupted by the loud voice of certain boy.
"Karma! The hell you're doing here?"
"…Terasaka, can't you see I'm here for the festival.", answered Karma in annoyance.
Terasaka grins as big as he can. "EH?! WHAT KIND OF LOSER CAME TO A FESTIVAL ALONE?"
Terasaka taunting for some reason irritates Karma so much. In the end Karma kicks Terasaka in the abdomen using his knee. Terasaka can only hold his stomach in pain.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
Karma pulls his tongue out. "Eh~, I just feel like it? Is that wrong~?"
"Yeah, Terasaka you kinda deserve it.", said Itona in flat tone.
Terasaka can feel his anger built up. He then complains at how Itona should support him as the gang leader. However, Muramatsu and Yoshida can only agree to Itona that he kinda dig his own grave. Their argument later stops by Hazama. She gives them a really creepy comment which makes everyone literally stops from their argument.
As they all calm themselves, Terasaka continues his question. "So, Karma. What are you doing in a festival alone?"
"Hmm~, I don't think that's your business, Terasaka. Besides, I came here with Nagisa."
The others freeze for a while. "WAIT? ARE YOU TWO ON A DATE OR SOMETHING?", said the three boys in shock.
"But, she is not with you at the moment?", said Itona.
Hazama then gives a really creepy smile. "Perhaps you are being ditch. What an awful luck you have."
Karma shrugs. "First, it's not a date. Second, she didn't ditch. It's more like I've lost her somewhere in the crowd and I don't know where she is nor I can contact her."
The gang feels kind of sorry for him.
"Well, I'll better get going. Bye~"
Terasaka grabs Karma shoulder. "Wait! Let us help you!". The other can only nods.
Terasaka then leads his gang. "Okay, Terasaka gang go!"
Karma can only scratch his hair. He wants to refuse their offer to help, but it seems imposible for some reason.
'…Okay, this has just gotten weird.'

Back on Nagisa, Isogai, and Maehara. Right now, they are walking around and trying several booths while looking for Karma. On certain point, it seems that Nagisa's phone has ran out of battery, but she just shrugs it off thinking that it's not a big deal and continuing their night.
After winning several booth, Maehara lifts both of his arms behind his head. "That was fun!"
Nagisa nods in agreement. "You're right."
The talks then proceed to how funny it is that the surrounding child can only watch them in shock as they easily fish the water balloon from the small pool.
Before long, Maehara asks another question. "Say, Nagisa. Are you sure you both not on a date? I mean two people in a festival like this? It's seems like a date to me."
Nagisa can only give her deadpan look. "I've told you already… we're just hanging out together. Why are you keep asking that?"
"Well." Maehara rolls his eyes. "Both of you are so close, so it won't be surprising if you guys are indeed dating. Besides… I thought you guys have a crush on each other."
Nagisa face turns bright red after hearing that. "Y…you've got it wrong, Maehara-kun. I…I mean… Karma is an amazing person and I do like him but not in that kind of way, besides…". Nagisa face suddenly turns a little bit grim. "…I think Karma has already had someone he likes."
'That's right… we're just friend…', Nagisa thought.
"Eh?" Maehara puts one of his arm on Nagisa's shoulder. "That means I can ask you out."
Isogai then gives another hit on Maehara's head. "Maehara, stop it. You're making her feels uncomfortable."
"Well, I can't help it Isogai. Nagisa is getting prettier, especially today."
The other two can only look at him with silence.
"Maehara…"Isogai sighes. "You need to stop using pick up line in the wrong situation. We are kinda in the middle of something here."
Maehara replies it with a nervous smile.
Nagisa then pokes Maehara and says, "Maehara-kun… I don't think you should say something that to just a random girl. You should save it for the girl who you really like.". She then gives her usual gentle smile.
Maehara is a little surprise by Nagisa response. Usually some other girls will either blush or kick his face. However, she just calmly response to that. Maybe it's because she has gotten used to Karma and Nakamura teases.
Isogai then looks at his phone and informs his friend something. "Guys, I've got text from Kataoka. Looks like Karma also searching for you."
~~~~0~~~~0~~~~0~~~~
At the moment, Karma and Terasaka gang has a dead end on searching Nagisa. All of Terasaka's attempts to help him is either fail or ends up embarrassing. Karma can only scratch his head in annoyance. 'This idiot… Is there a limit to his idiotic straightforwardness? Geez… At this rate we won't be able to find Nagisa.'
Just as they luck turn sour, they found groups of which turn out to be their former classmate.
Kurahashi waves at them. She starts the conversation with a cheerful voice. "You guys did came?"
Yada then points out something. "But it's kinda rare to see Karma hang out with Terasaka, isn't it?"
"Well, we met him in the middle of the crowd.", said Terasaka while pointing at Karma.
"So, Karma came here alone?", asked Okano.
"No…" Karma shrugs. "I came with Nagisa."
The girls then freeze in silent. "EH ARE YOU GUYS DATING?", asked Kurahashi in shock
Karma can feel deja vu all over again. 'Why is everyone asking the same question.'
"No… we're not. We want to invite the others, but they are not in the town currently.", explained Karma.
"Eh… That's kinda disappointing.", said Kurahashi with sad tone.
Yada then adds, "Yeah… you've got my hopes up for a second."
Karma gives them a seemingly sarcastic laugh. "Ahaha… sorry to disappoint you."
Kataoka then look the people around her but she didn't find Nagisa. "Hmmm… but where is Nagisa-san?"
"Well… we got separated by the crowd. I'm kinda in the middle of finding her."
The girls then suggest him to make a call, but sadly he left his phone at home. Yada then lent him her phone, unfortunately Nagisa didn't answer their call. It seems that they are on another dead end until Okano realizes something. "Ah, That's right! Isogai and Maehara are here too somewhere. Maybe they've seen her."
"I'll try text Isogai if he has seen her.", said Kataoka.
Not long after that, Isogai replies that Nagisa is with them. So in the end they decide to meet up in front of a certain booth. At that point, Karma is really glad that he bumps into Kataoka and the others. A moment later, the three of them finally show up on the meeting point. Karma directly pinches Nagisa's cheeks and gives a devilish smile.
"Don't you know how much trouble I went through to search you? I need to find someone as small as you in the river of crowd!"
"Geez…" Nagisa pouts and brushing his hand off her cheeks. "I'm sorry for being so small. Besides, I also went through some trouble searching for you."
The others can only think their argument as a cute moment between the two.
Isogai then points out that the firework is almost started. So they decide to find a right spot to watch it. Before they go Karma offer his hand to Nagisa.
"Hold my hand."
Nagisa is shock by her friend offers. She looks at him in a rather confuse manner.
"I said hold my hand.", demanded Karma.
"Eh...? But…" Nagisa's words is suddenly interrupted by Karma's.
"Look…" A small blush starts to appear in the red-haired-boy cheeks. "It's not like I want to hold your hand or anything. I don't want you to get lost again."
"…Okay." Nagisa then holds his hand. It feels quite weird for her. His hand his far bigger and… warmer than hers. She could swear that her heart is beating so fast. She is so nervous for some reasons. However, her nervousness is gone when Karma starts another conversation between them. They joke about how funny it is that they both got separated unknowingly.
At that moment, Nagisa can tell that he was worried about her… and his concern makes her feels a little bit happy inside.
The night ends with everyone watching the fireworks on the riverbanks.

Author's note
And that's concluded the festival. Beforehand, I need to apologize for some grammatical error in some previous chapters. I've fix some of it lol. Really sorry 'bout that. Speaking of which, I'm really happy reading all of the review. You guys are so nice and supporting. I laugh at Yamashita Takumi9 review. Now you mention it, it does remind me of Finding Dory lol. Oh by the way, the title of this chapter is kinda misleading, isn't it? For some reason the title 'Found You' is giving a vibe of horror movie. Maybe that's just me ahahhaha. Please read and review. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter. The development of romance with this two is kinda slow in the fic because I personally think a genuine love need time to really develop. So please hang in there with me lol. Thank you so much everyone.
p.s. for the next chapter… a certain someone will be down in fever.
