◇Magiri side◇
On the morning of the day of the festival, I came to the front gate of Tokubetsu Bessei High School, where I was to meet Nanahoshi as Toiro.
There, I saw Nanahoshi in her school uniform.
“Good morning, Nanahoshi.”
“Toiro san! Good morning!”
We greeted each other as soon as we met.
Nanahoshi said with a cheerful expression
“The festival has already started, and as I said yesterday, I have to be at the festival from noon, so let’s start enjoying the festival together right away!”
“I agree.”
So, the two of us immediately entered the school and walked through its corridors.
The school festival has already started, and from the corridor to the courtyard, the atmosphere is very lively due to the number of food stalls and people.
“Do you like cultural festivals, Toiro-san?”
“Cultural festivals,…… although to be honest, it wasn’t so much before,────”
The bright and joyful atmosphere that fills this entire school, as seen in the expressions of the students and guests who seem to be enjoying themselves,……, plus the period of time spent preparing for the performances with classmates and being able to go around the festival with someone you can enjoy being with.
“I think I might like it now.”
“I do, too! It’s got a different atmosphere than, say, a summer festival!”
“Yeah.”
After that, as we were walking together, Nanahoshi stopped at a certain place and said
“Toiro san! It looks like they sell fried chicken, so why don’t you eat it with me?”
“Sounds good, I’ll try it.”
“Thank you!”
We ordered fried food for two and put it in our mouths together.
“It’s delicious! I mean, is it okay to serve this level of fried food at a cultural festival?”
“It sure is delicious.”
The taste is so good that it could be said to have been made by a professional.
As expected, it was fried chicken made by a student at a special special High School.
After we finished eating the yakitori and fries, we were walking down the corridor when Nanahoshi said with a bright smile
“I’m having a lot of fun at the festival with Toiro-san! Today was the first time we met after confessing my feelings, so I was a little nervous, but all of that went away as we spent time together like this! ”
…… Nanahoshi’s bright smile was still captivating my eyes, and she said, “Oh, yes!” she shouted as if she had thought of something.
Then, bringing her face close to my ear as she walked next to me, she whispered in my ear
“I love you.”
“…”
I let out a gasp at the sudden words, and Nanahoshi moved away from my ear, turned her cheeks red and smiled at me, and said
“Hehe, I wanted to tell you properly one more time, but I’m still embarrassed…But telling someone I love you makes me so happy.”
…… Nanahoshi is as dazzling as ever.
I don’t know if it’s okay for me to walk through the school festival with her, or if it’s okay for me to be the person she falls in love with, and I don’t know if there’s a right answer.
But as long as we’re ──── together, I want Nanahoshi to have a good time too.
“I have a place I want to go, so please come along!”
“Okay.”
As Nanahoshi brought me to the third floor, ──── Nanahoshi stopped in front of the haunted house.
“Here we are!”
“…..”
As I recall, Mizushiro-senpai said, “Maybe that person will hold hands with a scared Nanahoshi, or hug a scared Nanahoshi from behind?” I remember she said something like that.
But of course, I am not the type of person who would do such a thing at school, so I have no intention of doing it, much to Nanahoshi’s dissapointment.
“You want to come in?”
“Yes!”
And that moment when we enter that haunted house ────.
At that moment, the lively sounds that could be heard just a few moments ago are no longer heard, and the light has almost completely disappeared, creating a frightening atmosphere.
“T-This, here, is my senior class putting on a show, and it’s pretty authentic.”
“Yeah.”
The wind blowing under my feet, and the doll-like object hanging next to me give it an authentic horror feel.
It can be said that this part of the technique also shows the ability of the students of the special high school.
However, I am not particularly weak at horror, so I tried to go on ────but
“……”
Nanahoshi, who was next to me, didn’t say anything out loud, or rather, I could tell that she was really scared of the atmosphere of this haunted house.
It’s no wonder that she, who doesn’t like horror, would end up going into something prepared to be on the same level as a haunted house at a high school school festival, and when something of this quality comes out.
…There’s nothing we can do now that it’s like this.
I grabbed her frozen left hand with my right and said.
“Let’s
go”
“….! Y-yeah…!”
“You don’t have to be so scared, this is just a show, it’s not really something …… that will come out, so if you get scared, just turn your attention to me and the hand you’re holding.”
“,…… I understand!”
Nanahoshi then tightened her grip on my hand and we began to walk through the haunted house, hand in hand, just the two of us.
