Despite suffering from sunburn and extreme fatigue, watching an advertisement for the Fireworks festival filled Izumi with excitement. As he was on the phone with Shikimori, he asked her out for the festival without hesitation. Although Shikmori was concerned about his current state, she was delighted by the idea of spending time with her boyfriend by watching fireworks.

Both of them started their preparations for the festival by finding the perfect Yukata to dazzle each other. Shikimori didn’t know how to tie the sash of her Kimono, but her brother helped her out. No one is more aware of Izumi’s bad luck than him, as he tries to be extra cautious and also carries three separate wallets so that if he loses one, he will still have two.

After watching Shikimori in her Kimono, Izumi can’t help himself from blushing. They begin their festival by getting cotton candy, where Izumi comes to know that Shikimori does not have a liking for sweet things. Izumi tried to impress Shikimori by claiming he would get her the plush toy in a shooting game but failed miserably. However, Shikimori wins the toy in her first chance and gifts it to Izumi.

Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie Season 1 Episode 6: The secret spot

With a serious disposition, Izumi's father told Izumi about his secret spot, from where the fireworks look more beautiful, and that place is completely isolated. Keeping his father's words in mind, he ascended to the spot by carrying Shikimori on his back as she broke her sandals.

Reaching the spot made Shimori more scared than Izumi, as the latter carried her by climbing several stairs. It was an impossible task for a guy like Izumi, but he never gave up as he wanted to make Shikimori feel happy. They find a bench to sit on to watch the fireworks, where both of them reveal their secrets regarding the festival.

Izumi revealed that he was grappling with the idea of asking Shikimori out for the fireworks festival the previous year, which upset the latter as she was waiting for him to call. However, she thanked Izumi for finally bringing her out to the festival at last.

After a while, they finally headed towards their homes, and for that, Izumi had to step down the lengthy stairs by carrying Shikimori on his back again, which was more dangerous. As Izumi was about to fall, out of the blue, his father caught him and carried both of them on his back. After getting to know that both his parents were on the spot all along, it made Izumi and Shikimori more awkward.
