About the Ideal Woman I Met at the Festival

An eleven-year-old Atsushi meets his ideal girl at the Bon dance festival at a Shinto shrine. The girl dancing the Awa dance was extraordinarily beautiful. *This short story is a participation work for the "Summer Festival and You" project hosted by Haruka Kanata. It is also part of the series "Nagaaki Shrine—Why Not Have That Person's Shrine Too" that the author is writing. I have tried to write it so that it can be understood by reading only this main work, but I ask for your understanding if there are any explanations that are insufficient or contain too much information. Shinya in the story is Katou Shinya, just before being sent as an adopted child to the Sakaguchi family. I would be happy if you would also read other works in this series!
