Bonus chapter: "Nagafuji: The Visitor - Part 2"
Looking at it again, I noticed that my room had far less storage space compared to Hino's. You could barely take three whole steps from the door before hitting the back wall, and between the bed as well as the various school books and piles of clothes lying on the floor, even the fan was left slightly tilted to the side.
I wonder, what was it about this room that Hino liked so much?
"You can see the fireworks pretty well", she stated from next to the open window, answering my question.
My room being on the third floor meant that the roofs of the buildings opposite to us did little to block our view. I suppose that only made sense; though quite tall, our house was very narrow.
Quietly, the mosquito repellent attached to the rim of the window let off its fumes. It smelled a little like meat which had been smoked.
"Only during summer, huh?"
With that comment, I rested my body on top of Hino.
"Hey", I could hear her grumble under my breasts.
That's right; she was just the perfect height so that, when sitting, me embracing her from behind placed my breasts directly on top of her head.
"Are they heavy?"
"Huh? No... It's more that, it's already too warm here as is."
"I see, I see. Alright. I guess we'll need to have the fan work a little harder for us then."
I went ahead and switched the device from "low" to "medium". As I did, its tiny motor made the loudest noise.
"Is the fan okay? It sounds just like when Dad cracks his hips."
"Hmm, maybe it needed to stretch a bit first."
This was my fault. You were supposed to let it run on "low" for a bit longer first.
"Aah, how I miss the air conditioner and its pleasant blow."
"Go have it fixed then."
I could tell based on the movements of Hino's shoulders and head that she was staring at the top right corner of the room. Right there, by the ceiling, a white cooler unit had been installed, its plastic casing having turned slightly yellow from being exposed to the sun. The device was currently making no sound whatsoever. Again, as mentioned, this was not an air conditioner, but rather, a cooler. That was important to know to understand how silly the next part was: Despite its name, what shot out when you turned it on was (approximately) 36 degrees warm air. Quite the opposite of what you would've expected of a cooler.
"I was told that buying a new one could be cheaper."
"Well then, have them do that, buy you a new one."
"And where would we get the money to do that?"
Also, if I did have working air conditioning here, that would make going over to Hino's place that much less exciting.
It'd just be a waste, wouldn't it? I certainly thought so.
More fireworks filled the sky, painting it a different colour.
This was the fireworks display for the two of us.
One by one, the sounds of explosions reached my ears.
"Fweeee! Pop-pop! Bam! Blam! Fwoooom!"
