for Advance Chapter
Yu was walking alone around the school.
In his hand he holds a booklet for the school festival that had been distributed in advance.
"There's a lot going on this year."
Yuu has already been going around to a few classes to kill time.
Just by looking at the various events written on the bookmark, there are many activities such as scooping super balls, ring toss, screenings of independent films, and food and drink. The haunted house that Yu's class does is a standard event, so there is another class that does it.
"Hmm."
Yuu ponders what to do. The performance he had been interested in since he got the bookmark has already started. The other performances he was interested in, such as the drama club play and the singing contest, were in the afternoon, and it was still early. And he didn't want to go to the places he and Yui were planning to visit later, if possible, right now.
"Let's just have a look around."
Even though I stared at Shiori, I couldn't find my next destination. So, rather than waste time here, I decided to just walk around and enter a random place.
I'm currently on the third floor, so I decide to head to the second floor for now.
"Even so... it has increased."
If you ask what, it's a couple.
Many classes stayed after school during the preparation period, which is partly because they had more time than usual to prepare, but also because of the unusual situation, the sense of community that comes from working together to achieve something, and the sense of accomplishment.
There are probably some couples who have become couples because they feel lonely at the high school cultural festival without a partner. And those couples are usually like that.
"You're going to break up as soon as the cultural festival is over anyway."
It's the same as the increase in couples before Christmas.
Eventually, Yuu arrived at the second floor and saw a familiar face there. It seemed the same person was there, and came over to Yuu with a happy look on their face.
"Hello, Someya-senpai♪"
It was Airi. It seemed that without Yu realizing it, it was time for the students' families to come in.
Looking closely at my surroundings, I could see other people who appeared to be siblings or parents of students attending the school.
"Hey Airi-chan."
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Airi turns her body from side to side expectantly, showing off her clothes.
It looked like it had just been bought, with no wrinkles or stains, and was almost brand new. Her hair was also styled differently than usual.
"It's a nice outfit that suits you, cute Airi-chan. It suits you."
Yuu thought that Airi had dressed up to attend the school festival where many older high school students would be present, but in reality, Airi had only been thinking about meeting Yuu, and had spent an hour or so in her room having a fashion show, agonizing over which outfit to choose.
Even now, after witnessing Yu and Yui having sex in a park in the middle of the night, Airi's feelings for him have not wavered one bit.
"Eheh, thank you Someya-senpai."
"But I'm a bit worried that if I'm that cute, guys might start hitting on me."
Even though the only people in attendance were students and associates of the school, Airi is just that attractive.
In fact, even while I was talking to Yuu right now, someone kept glancing my way. Of course, they were not looking at Yuu, but at Airi.
"Then please have Someya-senpai escort you."
"I?"
"I thought I'd refrain from going out if you were looking around with Onee-san, but it looks like Someya-senpai is there by himself."
"Yui-chan is out touring with some friends right now. She's planning on joining me later though."
She didn't want to admit that she was with her boyfriend, so she lied and said that Takuya was a friend.
"Hmm... Then that's fine, so please let Airi have Someya-senpai all to herself until then."
"Okay then, I'll show you around."
It's more fun to go out with people you know than to be alone, and if he leaves Airi alone and gets involved in trouble, Yui will be sad and Yu will feel bad too.
"I did it. It's just for a little while, but it's a date with Someya-senpai♪"
"I'm glad to hear that. Is there anywhere you want to go, Airi-chan?"
I give Airi a bookmark for the school festival.
"Hmm... Then I'd like to go to Someya-senpai's class first."
"It's a haunted house, is that okay?"
"Uh... It's okay... as long as I'm with Someya-senpai."
I'm not afraid of ghosts, but I don't like haunted houses.
Airi thought they were similar but not the same. Ghosts are unscientific, but haunted houses are scientific because they are artificially created. Also, while ghosts are scary in and of themselves, haunted houses are more of a surprise, surprising you with the atmosphere of the building and the ghosts.
"I see. Let's go then."
Yu and Airi started walking towards their class. As she followed him, Airi looked longingly at his free hand.
