Chapter 48: Reunion
The school bell rang, signaling the start of the cultural festival.
Our school’s cultural festival was held once every other year and it was a rather big event. The committee made flyers and put them up at nearby stations and the downtown area. The famous alumni also came to give lectures and stuff. There were also live performances to be held here.
This was why, even though the festival had barely even started, the school grounds were crowded with people, students and visitors alike.
“Maehara, are you sure you don’t need to sleep? Yagisawa-sensei said that we can use the infirmary if we’re sleepy.”
“If I go to sleep now, I won’t wake up until the festival ends, so no. Besides, it’s my shift on the patrol duty, I can’t just slack off. I might as well forget about sleeping and enjoy this festival to the fullest while patrolling, no?”
All the committee members, including Asanagi and I, wore green armbands and had to patrol the school grounds. But, even though we were on patrol, we could still enjoy the festival. They allowed us to take a look at the various exhibits and performances and as long as we didn’t eat or drink while on patrol, we were allowed to do it. In other words, we were pretty much free to do whatever we wanted as long as we behaved properly.
“Oh, Maki-kun, Umi, over here!”
“Mhm, I’m coming! …Right, Maehara, when you’re walking with Yuu’s group, try your best to not be left behind by them, okay?”
“…Got it.”
