We could see a couple of red lights on the other side of the rails of the roof. It was exactly where we had launched the fireworks on the dry riverbed.
Perhaps they were fire engines. Or maybe patrol cars? Either way, it wasn’t a small number.

And right next to the rail, were two more people standing.

It was Chuzai-san’s wife and Minako-san.

Why????

Then Chuzai-san’s wife,
“Ufufu. You got caught again?”

Chuzai-san’s wife said her usual phrase with her usual tone.
I became quiet.

Minako-san.
“The fireworks. They were really pretty. You guys. Are amazing after all.”

Was she praising us?
In a situation like this?

I was a little confused by this and asked Chuzai-san.

“Chuzai-san, how, um…, did you, figure this out?”

“Hm?”

But, it was the nurse assigned to Saijoh-kun that answered this.

“Ufufu. Everyone in this hospital knew because Mika-chan was bragging to everyone that Saijoh-kun was going to launch fireworks today.”
“We never even thought that it would really be launched.”

Ha ha…

I responded with a unenergetic laugh.

I see. There’s no way to seal a child’s mouth…

Following that, Chuzai-san finally started talking.
“I heard it the other time I was at the hospital and was reminded of your intrigue. You were saying something about permits.”
I listened quietly.

“Things would be clear to me even if I wasn’t a police officer, hearing that much. It was something that you guys would think of.”

“Since today was the day of the fireworks festival, I went there because I felt uneasy. You guys were there as expected.”

I see. It was true that Kouno had seen him.

“I had the fireworks artist verify. We found out that they were missing two. If you guys had stolen them and caused some kind of incident, it would be a huge problem. I came back after I had a local policeman relieve me.”

“Is… that so……”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”

Saijoh-kun who had been holding it in broke down crying.
Inoue-kun comforted him.

But.

It was just about that time.

As I was thinking that the eastern sky had lit up slightly,

Boom Boom Boom
Boo————m

Wha?

hanabi2

In the sky exactly above where we had launched the fireworks… Multiple fireworks were dying the sky.

4 shots, 5 shots, 6 shots…… 10, 11…

Why?????

Boom Boom Boom
Scree————————ch

15 shots, 16 shots…

It continued without a break.

While I was taken aback, Jaime said to me.

“Senpai… Those are repeater shots……”

“Ah……ahh. That’s ture… they are, but…”

Boom Boboom Boboom

Drawn marvelously in the sky, a ring. Chrysanthemum, peony…

“Surprised?”
Chuzai-san said.

“I asked the Fireworks artist. And had him come.”

“You… did?”

“Yeah. But not like you guys. I paid him. I blew a quarter of my bonus though.”

“We also put in a little too. But because it was so sudden, we didn’t have very much…”
“N, nurse…”

“The hospital chipped in a little too.”
Was he someone from the pharmacy? An older man in a business shirt said.

“Then, those fireworks… who…?”

“Hm. When I explained the situation to the boss, he came gladly. He even left the finale at the other fireworks festival to his apprentices.”

Boss……

“Ah… ah…”

I couldn’t say a thing.

“But firemen are so hard headed. I had a really hard time getting permission. I threatened them with my pistol in the end. Wa ha ha.”

Bad jokes as usual… Chuzai-san…

I see. The red lights gathered over there… those fire engines were for these fireworks…

The door that had been closed deep inside of my mind suddenly opened and tears started flowing.
As I tired to wipe the snot that had accumulated, I scratched my cheek with the corner of the handcuffs.
The tears seeped into that wound.

“So pretty… it’s because of you guys… Ryo-kun’s probably really happy.”
Nurse…

I couldn’t tell the shape of any of the fireworks that shone in my eyes because of the my tears.
But I remember thinking that I would probably never see fireworks this pretty again in my lifetime. Vaguely. But surely… The thought crossed my mind.

“Ryo-kun’s fireworks festival” which probably a first for this town, lasted for about 20 minutes.

And once things quieted down a little, Chuzai-san said towards everyone.

“Everyone. Thank you for your help today. It really was an impromptu fireworks festival because of these guys but…
There should be one more original firework, that the fireworks artist boss created, going up.”

Everyone was focused on Chuzai-san. Chuzai-san brought out some notes. It seemed as though he wasn’t used to these situations.

“Um, it’s titled “Ryusei*.” It’s called this so that wishes can come true. If you say your wish three times before the shooting stars disappear, it may come true.”

As if waiting for this talk, a repeater firework went up.

Boom
Boboom

It was a large large willow.

Everyone put their hands together in front of them.

Everyone’s wish was:

I wish for Ryo-kun’s illness to get better.
For their love to reach their dad in heaven…

The light from the fireworks illuminated Mika-chan’s face.
The little girl with her hands clasped in front of her chest looked almost like an angel.

Finally, everyone left the roof and all that was remaining was Chuzai-san and us.

Chuzai-san said.
“I have someone you guys need to meet.”

“Yes. I know.”
We, the perpetrating group, formed a single line and waited for that person.

Finally, being led by a nurse, the boss arrived on the roof.

“Oh-! Brothers! How was it? ‘Em fireworks.”

“Boss…”

“Well, I launched all of those with 4 tubes. It’s been a while. Some’in like this.”

“Boss… sorry.”
We bowed our heads.

“What. It’s ok! What a sad story.”

Chuzai-san said towards the boss.

“I arrested these guys under suspicion of stealing your fireworks.”

“Ah? Stolen? Nope. I don’t recollect that. I did sell two fireworks though. For 4000 Yen.”

“So you’re saying it wasn’t larceny?”

“Ahh. Nope! Edo kids don’t take back their words!”
Like I said, people born in the Miyagi prefecture aren’t called Edo kids…

“Is that so? Then it’ll be a nonprosecution.”

“That’s that. Therefore that makes this a false arrest. It’s disappointing that my conviction rate will go down.”
Chuzai-san, after saying that, removed my handcuffs.

“Hey. Policeman.”

“Yes. What is it?”

“Haven’t they said from a long time ago? That “even Prometheus stole fireworks.”
