The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 241 - To The Fireworks

'And here I thought, people of this age would have manners and arrive on time… but nope, still standing here like a buffoon.'

"It seems, we're the only ones here hah." I hear a soft sweet voice behind me.

Turning around, I smile at the unexpected person, "At least I get to have your undivided attention, Elisabeth."

She smiled, "As do I."

"How's Viscount Haiel doing? Has he recovered from his injuries yet?"

She nodded, "Yes, he has. Papa sometimes talks about you."

"Nothing bad, I hope."

"Of Course Not." She smiled, "All good. He spoke about how brave you are, how you're already a great fighter at such a young age and how extremely strong you are… he especially couldn't forget about how you smashed that guy straight out of the ballroom!" Elisabeth did a punching stance.

I smiled seeing her adorable act.

If Anna was the confident and adorable type, then Elisabeth was the Innocent and Cute type.

Damn fucking Arthur got lucky over her and still goes on for other girls!

We stand there and talk for a bit before I look at the time.

"It seems they'll take a bit more time to come."

Elisabeth also looked around, seeing the darkening atmosphere, "I suppose they are still preoccupied with getting ready for the event. It is a special day today, maybe we should wait a bit longe-"

'Hmm…' My eyes flash with a thought.

"Let's take a walk ahead, Elisabeth." I say.

"huh?"

I look inside the gate, "Who knows how long those ladies going to take wearing their dresses, in the meantime we can go ahead and find a good spot for all of us?"

Elisabeth looked at the smile on my face and blushed, "Just us two?... Alone."

"Yes… unless you don't want t-"

"NO, I DO!" Elisabeth sprang forth her answer. Then blushed when she saw how she proclaimed that.

"I… I… didn't want t-"

"Hahaha…"

Hearing my laughter, her blush deepened but stopped when she heard my next words.

"Now that's not the kind of enthusiasm I thought I'd ever see in you, Elisabeth. It's quite cute."

"C- Cu- Cute!?" She looked up, her eyes wide, "Me?"

"You think I'm cute?" She asked in a shy tone.

I nod, "Not only cute, but you're extremely beautiful too. Arthur must have lucked out in his previous lives karma to get a girl like you and that too as a childhood crush… talk about a dream scenario."

Unknown to me, I give out a real sigh.

'Hm?' I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Henry"

I look down at Elisabeth who gave a bright smile, "We're going together on a happy event to see fireworks, right? So why don't you turn that frown upside down for me?"

'This girl… I'm gonna kill Arthur if he ever breaks her heart!'

I nod, "Yes, let's go and watch some great fireworks together."

"Yeah!" Elisabeth shared my enthusiasm with me and we left.

Minutes later, Arthur along with the others came at the gate.

They looked around for Henry and Elisabeth but found no one.

"Where are they?" Arthur asked, "I thought they might have already come by now."

"Henry should have," Wilson said, "I saw him get out long ago."

"Elisabeth's not here too." Arthur looked, then turned to Samantha, "Wasn't she supposed to be with you?"

"Well, she also got ready before me so I told her to go ahead." Samantha said, "Don't they know the meet location?"

"That's not it." Alex shook his head, "I remember that everyone heard that this was the place… Henry was with me and he heard it."

"Elisabeth too, I saw her nod." Samantha said.

"Then where did those two go?" Arthur asked, looking into the crowded distance with a bit worry.

…

At another place.

"I didn't think it would be this crowded." I look ahead as numerous people walk around the place.

It was quite crowd, like it was a long highway with dis-tracked cars and people walking by, ignoring the signal.

"Have you never seen the fireworks in the capital before Henry?" Elisabeth asked.

"Nope… I actually never saw it."

"Wait… then this is your first time?" She asked, a bit shocked when she saw me nod.

'Th- Then this means… Henry's going to watch the fireworks for the first time… WITH ME!' Elisabeth blushed again and thought ahead, 'Then I'm participating in one of Henry's first… that's great!'

'This is such a goo-' Elisabeth got off her thoughts when she felt someone pass by her, hitting her in the process. She thought nothing of it, but then another came and another and another…

Suddenly, Elisabeth got stuck inside a crowded group with no sense of direction.

"AHh!"

"He- Hey!"

"Please… let me go ahead!"

She tried to get out of the crowd, but none gave her any look and kept passing her by. It was so crowded that, Elisabeth felt fear gripping her.

'At this rate, I'll lose Henry and… we won't be able to watch the fireworks together.' She thought while trying to get out of this maze.

'Is there no other chance?'

'Will Henry… even know I am not with him anymore?'

As she was about to lose that tiny thread of hope, Elisabeth felt a large hand grab on to her outstretched one and pull.

"I got you!"

Elisabeth felt herself get caught into a warm body. It was big and warm enough to cover her fully. Knowing who it belonged to, she didn't blush… Elisabeth instead hugged him back tightly.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go that easily." She heard his protective voice and felt more reassured than ever.

"Hold on tight!" Without knowing or even trying, she did as he said and held tightly as Henry started moving.

Elisabeth heard the dissatisfied and angry voice of some people.

"Hey!"

"What the hell are you doing, that's my spot!"

"Don't barge in like that!"

"Stop you big monster!"

He was barraging through the crowds and it angered the others.

But she didn't care.

Elisabeth only held on until she heard his voice again.

"You can open your eyes."

It was then that she knew that they had stopped. Just as he asked, she opened her eyes to look above.

The first thing she saw was Henry's protective smile and he moved his face.

Right at the sky, there was small red dot that flew. Then like a huge flower, it bloomed and spread the sky in its magnificent brilliance.

"Pom!"
