Although I was unexpectedly kissed publicly by Reona, the play was over and I was planning to spend some time at some random place.
Since I was free until tomorrow’s choir contest, I could basically do whatever I wanted as long as I didn’t leave the school grounds. After removing my makeup and getting dressed, I left the locker room to put my luggage down and headed for my classroom.
I wanted time to calm down and think about the fact that Reona might like me, so I decided to go to the library, which was quiet and cool, for now after putting my stuff down.
While I was thinking about this, I arrived at the classroom and found Riona there. Riona noticed my presence and spoke to me with her usual cool expression.
“Ryoya, thanks for your hard work in the theater.”
“Thank you, though things have been tough because of Reona.”
“The moment Ryoya and onee chan kissed, there was a bit of a commotion in the audience.”
I thought it was quite a stir, but it seemed to be that way after all.
“By the way, is Ryoya free after this?”
“Yeah, I’ve already finished the play, so I don’t have any particular plans or anything. ……”
“Then come with me around the school.”
I see, Riona seems to have come all the way to this classroom to invite me. I really felt like I wanted to be alone, but I feel sorry for turning down the invitation. That’s why I decided to go around the school with Riona.
“So where are we going?”
“I want to look around the first-year class exhibits.”
“Okay.”
Since there was no objection to Riona’s words, we went to the first grade classrooms and started looking at the class exhibits, starting with the first class.
According to the pamphlet, in addition to the familiar exhibits like the cardboard maze and target practice, there are also some unusual exhibits like the trick art room and balloon pool, so it seems we will never be bored.

“I win again.”
“…..insanely strong as ever.”
I was playing target practice a while ago, but just like at the previous summer festival, Riona was so strong that I couldn’t do anything. As for this time, I didn’t give her the right to give me any orders as a prize, so that’s the only salvation.
“Let’s go to the last of the ten exhibits,”
“Trick Art Room this time, huh?”
According to the pamphlet, the entire classroom was a trick art room that utilized optical illusions. I was looking forward to it, as I was most curious about this one among the class exhibits.
We arrived in front of class 10, wrote down our names at the reception desk, and entered the classroom. Once inside, we found authentic trick art, including a floor that looked really distorted and an illustration of a lion that looked as if it might attack us at any moment.
“It’s so authentic, it really looks like the floor is distorted.”
“This is beyond anything I could have imagined.”
Both Riona and I were quite surprised because the quality of the art was so high that it was hard to believe it was made by an amateur high school student.
Even though we knew it was an optical illusion, we couldn’t help but want to touch it to check it out. This must have been very difficult to make.
“Ryoya, sit in front of the lion for a moment.”
“Okay.”
I instantly understood what Riona was trying to do and did as she said. Then, Riona started taking pictures with her phone.
“Look, I got a picture of Ryoya about to be eaten by a lion.”
“Seriously, it looks like that kind of situation, so that’s awesome.”
“Now I want you to take a picture of me too.”
Since there was more trick art than just the floor and the lion, Riona and I enjoyed taking interesting pictures of each other.
After enjoying the trick art for a while and being satisfied, we were about to leave the classroom, but this is where the trouble occurred.
“Kyaa!?”
Riona lost her balance on the distorted floor and almost fell down. The distorted floor was really that realistic. However, thanks to my holding her as quickly as I could, she was not seriously injured.
“Are you all right?”
“Thanks to Ryoya, I’m fine, thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
I was about to move away from Riona’s body when I finished saying that. But for some reason, Riona wrapped her arms around my back and wouldn’t let go.
“…… Um, Riona san? I’d like you to let go of me now,”
“No, I want to stay like this a little longer.”
“No, no, it could be misinterpreted.”
The classroom is relatively crowded and many people are staring at it, so it’s not pleasant. Riona begins to say outrageous things while thinking about such things.
“I don’t mind being misunderstood.”
“H-hey. What does that mean?”
Is it possible that Riona likes me? Suddenly, I was on the verge of a full-blown panic, unable to comprehend what was happening.
“I will tell you the meaning of what I just said at the party later in the evening.”
After saying this, Riona finally left my body. The night after the third day of the school festival is the night after the festival, and I wonder what I’m going to find out there.
