Who: Kozue, Kiriko, Renju, Masami, and Maybe Kou.
What: Visiting the Kondo Family Home
When: A few days after Obon
Where: Iwamizawa, a town about an hour outside of Iburi
Why: Elaborate trickery to get Kozue to the beach
Kozue had sent out text messages with the information—the date, the train, the will-call number they could give at the ticketing booth at Iburi Station to get the tickets she'd bought, and where to wait, once they got to Iwamizawa, so that she could come pick them up.
She'd even sent the information to Kou, and bought him a ticket; a sort of a gesture of goodwill, in case he decided to come and not be mad at her about the whole deception. (Or angry that simply I am her boyfriend wouldn't work on Kondo Fumiko. Not for something this big.)
Now she was waiting at the station, a few minutes shy of the appointed time; she and her brother were outside, on a bench, waiting. Kondo Shinjiro had gotten away with wearing a nice, dark-colored suit; he had added sunglasses that his grandmother had surely never seen, because he was cultivating some kind of cool American businessman image. Well, he was trying. At the moment, Kozue found the sunglasses a bit silly, but mostly because they weren't the right size for his face. He needed wider ones. She, herself, was more subject to familial duty--because she was younger, because she was the girl, because she was the one asking for a favor. For all of these reasons, Kozue had shown up at the station in a pale, swallow-and-cloud patterned yukata.
It was kind of stupid that she was worried already.
