Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 42 Cultural Festival Carnival

Tsumae High School Cultural Festival, the third day.

Naruse lowered his head to add a line to the back of a certain book in the book list, raised his gaze, and watched the girl wearing the uniform of a nearby middle school enter the Class C classroom.

Looking at the next anxious guest, he forced a smile.

"Please wait."

The line was long, and Hikari Takikawa leaned back against the back of his chair.

"Although I already had a hunch and saw it with my own eyes last year, I still want to say: there are so many people here today."

There was a lot of voices in the corridor, Naruse nodded.

The last day of the cultural festival was Saturday, a rest day. A large number of off-campus people, especially middle school and high school students, flocked into the Tsugao campus before [-]:[-] a.m. to participate in this annual grand ceremony.

He and Hikaru Takikawa had a day off yesterday, and they basically experienced everything that should be eaten, seen, and played at the cultural festival. Today, they returned to work and continued to attract guests.

No matter how boring the project is, with the blessing of the current high passenger flow, it can also glow with the vitality that originally only existed in the ideal.

The sixth soundproof room in Class C was running non-stop, and the voices of several scholars were already a little hoarse.Someone ingeniously proposed to let the guests read, and he himself became the audience, and the effect was not bad.

Two young women who looked like college students came out together.

"If I knew there was such a place, I would have brought my favorite BL novels here, and asked the male high school students to read the plots in it... ah—it's exciting just thinking about it!"

"I remember your brother is in Jin Gao, a ready-made high school boy. After you go back, let him read it to you."

"Wow, it's disgusting to think about it."

"Why."

While the two were chatting, they unconsciously looked at Naruse frequently, which made him firm in his determination to sit outside today and not go in to help.

"There are two seats vacant at once."

Hikaru Takikawa sat up straight and waved his hands left and right on the table, "The next and the next guest ~ please register here."

The reception capacity for this special project of class C is really limited, so even if there is a long line at the door, the two of them can't be said to be busy.

"I'll go away."

"Ah."

On the way back from the bathroom, Naruse looked through the window in the corridor and looked at the atrium below, where the real business was really busy.

Before taking his eyes back, he glanced at the open space in front of the connecting corridor.

The three-meter-tall paper apple tree was burned down the night before, and the discussion it caused quickly disappeared after the cultural festival started the next day, and now it was replaced by the booth of the handicraft society.

He couldn't see clearly what works were on display upstairs, but there were quite a few people who stopped for it, and they looked very popular.

Handicraft Society...

I don't know what Shangzi is doing now.

"Spring Sea—"

Hikaru Takikawa greeted.

"coming."

Handicraft Society.

Shangzi sat in his seat, looking at the little girl who came to visit the cultural festival with her parents with a smile on her face.

She is very interested in the zodiac animal puppet she sewed, playing with it back and forth, and has stayed here for a long time.

"Yukiko, it's time to go somewhere else."

The little girl's mother came over, smiled at Shangzi, and lowered her head to remind her daughter, "Daddy can't wait any longer."

"it is good……"

Yukiko reluctantly put down the puppet in her hand, took two steps and looked back.

"Wait a moment."

Shangzi stopped her, "Yukiko."

Both Yukiko and her mother turned their heads.

Shangzi picked up the puppy puppet and looked at the little girl's mother, "Yukiko seems to like this puppy very much, I want to give this to her."

"Ah, this is really..."

She was a little surprised, but also happy and grateful for her daughter.

While thanking Shangzi, she asked her daughter to accept her gift and reminded her daughter to thank her.

Yukiko came back and took the puppy from Naoko.

"..."

After holding it in her hand for a few glances, she suddenly put the puppy back on the table.

"Without other zodiac signs, puppies will become lonely."

Shangzi smiled.

"Yes."

She picked up a cloth bag from the side and put all the puppets on the table into it.

"So, Yukiko, take them all back."

"Ok!"

The little girl smiled, and her mother was even more surprised, and then expressed her gratitude to Shangzi more solemnly.

When the family of three left the handicraft club, Kazumi Suzuki, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but speak:

"Shangzi, why did you give all the puppets to her? The cultural festival is not over yet."

Shangzi smiled at her, "I just have something to deal with. I have to leave for a while. I don't know when I will come back. Don't worry if I send it all out."

Kazumi opened her mouth, "Okay."

"——Why, Minister Shangzi's next plan is to run for parliamentarians, and he started to buy votes from ordinary citizens so soon."

The handicraft club with complex factions has never lacked discordant voices, and among them, the most active one against Shangzi has always been that person.

Suzuki and Mei looked over, but Takahashi Tomoyo didn't even look at her, just staring at Naoko.

At this moment alone, Hemei even admires this senior sister who is not beautiful and has a bad heart.

Obviously, she has already become like this, and she still doesn’t forget to target Shangzi——the work was burned, which seems to have dealt a great blow to her. I haven’t seen her for a day. At the age of six, bloodshot eyes can still be seen.

Minister Sugiyama Ritsuko was still watching with cold eyes, while Naoko seemed not to have heard Takahashi's words, got up and walked in front of the minister.

"Minister, I have something to go out for a while."

"Ah."

With approval, Shangzi smiled and nodded at Kazumi who had been looking at her, and then left the handicraft club.

After a while, Ogawa Rina suddenly got up and went out.

Takahashi was already haggard, and his face became even uglier when he turned cold.

"Hiding? Can you hide? As long as I'm still in the handicraft club, you don't have to worry about it!"

She didn't hide it, the whole department was silent, and the few visitors who had just entered felt that the atmosphere was not right, so they walked out quickly.

Ritsuko Sugiyama, who was on the sidelines, sighed silently, feeling more and more tired, and suddenly thought of handing over the club to Naoko after the cultural festival was over.

...No, no.

She didn't want to let go so early.

No matter what Ritsuko Sugiyama planned, people came and went from inside and outside the handicraft club, members left from time to time, visitors came and went in a hurry, and the morning time passed quickly.

At noon, Shangzi came to find Naruse much later than agreed.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Naruse didn't care, but felt that there seemed to be a trace of irrepressible excitement in her tone.

"Is the handicraft club very busy?"

"No, I'm not there. Just now I went to the student union..."

Naoko said, looking at Hikaru Takikawa who was following him.

"Sitting all morning, I'm hungry too."

Takikawa Hikaru smiled at her, "Let's go eat something together."

She glanced at Naruse, the two had probably already discussed it, so she didn't say anything, "Okay."

Under the recommendation of Hikaru Takikawa, the three of them came to Class F of the second grade to taste the Okonomiyaki carefully made by the seniors of the second grade.

While waiting, she left alone, and not long after, she came back with three orders of takoyaki and three bottles of soda pop.

"I wanted to bring a few more grilled hot dogs, but I can't take it."

"That's enough."

After filling his stomach, Shangzi had other things to do, so he left first, and Naruse and Takikawa Hikari wandered aimlessly for a while.

Today is the busiest day of the cultural festival, and noon is the time when the flow of people is the largest. There are crowds of people in the corridor, and excited smiling faces are everywhere.

"A lot of people, hahaha——"

The two of them squeezed back into class C with some difficulty, while the excitement that could be seen everywhere continued to ferment, like a flame that was burning more and more vigorously.

The carnival atmosphere gradually enveloped all the students and guests, and made them gladly become part of the carnival.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, it was the closing ceremony of the cultural festival. Among the crowd, Naruse looked around and found the same words written on everyone's faces:
Hope the ending doesn't come too soon.
