Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 106: Kurusu Yosei Sounds the Horn of Conquest

Today is the first day of the cultural festival, so you can arrive at school a little later than the scheduled time.

When they were still some distance away from the school, Jun Matsueda had already gotten off his bicycle. There were a lot of people at the entrance today, so it was not safe to ride there.

Haneda High School is considered the pride of Mitaka City, so there are many outsiders watching the cultural festival. Add to that the relatives and friends of current students, and the flow of people is almost the same as that of a small festival.

Jun Matsueda pushed the cart into the school gate. Today the students all wore their own clothes, but he was still wearing his school uniform.

The passersby seemed to be unconvinced that he was a student of Yuqiu, and were discussing whether he was a hired idol or a model.

On both sides of the main road in front of the gate, strings were strung between the street lights, and cloth flags painted by classes and clubs themselves were hung on them, which were similar to posters.

Jun Matsueda found the flag of Class 2, Grade 1. It had circles of flowers and bread painted on it, and in the middle was a cartoon girl's head wearing a maid's headdress.

Walking along the avenue surrounded by flags, people from the executive committee were handing out cultural festival brochures on the roadside, which listed the activities of each class and club, as well as the performance schedule.

The first event on the list is undoubtedly the opening ceremony of the Haneda Festival at the gymnasium at 9:30.

Jun Matsueda caught a girl with a stern face in the corner.

"If you just sit there in the corner with a sullen look on your face like this, when will you finish distributing the manuals?"

"I wasn't asked to finish posting, I was just asked to come out and post."

Jun Matsueda shook his head, but Haruka Mochizuki's mouth was still as stubborn as ever.

He took the manual from the girl's arms, walked towards the school gate, and came back after more than ten minutes.

People were practically snatching the cultural festival brochure from his hand, probably because they thought it would get an autograph or something, and a few people who asked for photos also wasted some of his time.

"Thank you." The girl said softly and followed Matsueda Jun into the teaching building.

Outside the building, a giant vertical banner with the words "Hegaoka Festival" fluttered, as if welcoming everyone entering the school.

When Jun Matsueda arrived at the corridor on the first floor, he could already smell the strong aroma of sweet bread. Many people had already stopped at the window that was converted from the corridor window.

He passed the sign of Class 1 that read "Divination House" and was painted with various stars and magic circles, and walked into the front door of Class 2. The words "Dessert House" above the door frame were wrapped in flowers.

The classroom was filled with flowers and green leaves, and golden bread was placed on the table. It was impossible to tell that this was a normal class space.

The menu and prices were written in bright watercolor on the blackboard in the front row, and the border of the blackboard was covered with red leaves they collected from the school yesterday afternoon.

"It looks pretty good." Matsueda Jun couldn't help but admire.

"Isn't it amazing?" Tomatsu Tomoka appeared beside him with a smile, "Matsueda-san, have you had breakfast? Would you like to try the first bread baked today?"

Jun Matsueda touched his abdomen. Although he had eaten breakfast, he felt that his stomach was still quite big.

"Mmm, it smells wonderful, the crust is crispy, the inside is soft, and the sweetness is just right. It's an excellent croissant."

"I baked this." The girl's eyebrows curved even more with a smile.

The food is there. Once it's made, its quality won't be affected by whether the chef is Tomatsu Tomoka or Mizushima Miya. Matsueda Jun laughed in his heart at the girl for not understanding such a simple truth.

"If Matsueda-san likes, you can also have lunch at the dessert shop," she continued.

"Let's talk about it later. I have to pick someone up at noon and may not be in the classroom." Matsueda Jun put down his bag.

"Pick someone up?" Tomatsu Tomoka walked out from her seat.

"Well, my roommate." After saying this, he walked out of the classroom.

"Roommate." She thought of that doll-like beautiful girl.

At half past nine, the crowd gathered in the gymnasium, a sea of ​​black.

The stage was illuminated, and Yamami Matsukio stood alone in the center. This position should have been the chairman's, but he was a person who did not like to show off.

The screen behind the girl lit up, showing scenes from last year's school festival—all sorts of smiling faces—followed by the winter graduation ceremony, the spring entrance ceremony, and the summer sports meet, interspersed with images of Haneoka students actively participating in various competitions. Matsueda saw members of the volleyball team and the brass band. And there was himself, standing in front of Aoyama University's auditorium, saying, "Just get a gold medal," though the part before that, "Don't even think about international competition spots," had been cut out by someone. Matsueda Jun himself felt incredibly arrogant.

But there was a lot of cheering from the audience, it seems that the Japanese really bought into this.

The last shot is a long shot. Under the setting sun, the picture moves forward and rises from the school gate with fluttering flags, and stops in front of the three big characters "Yuqiu Festival" on the vertical banner of the teaching building.

The film ended here. Yamamiya Moki cleared her throat in a pleasant voice, turned on the microphone, and a countdown appeared on the screen.

"Three, two, one!" People counted down together and the girl raised her right hand.

"The 89th Haneda Festival opens!" It was still that soft voice, echoing throughout the gymnasium, the sound of fireworks blooming, and colorful streamers falling from the sky.

"Everyone! Enjoy it!" Yamami Moki waved to the audience and people cheered.

The hall lit up, and girls in cheerleading uniforms ran onto the stage, jumping and dancing, and the first show began seamlessly.

Jun Matsueda walked out of the venue, pushed his bicycle out of the bicycle shed, and walked out of the school gate. Kurusu Yoshi said she was almost there.

This means we have arrived, not the school gate, but we are almost at the station.

Jun Matsueda arrived at Kugayama Station by bicycle. Kurusu Yoyo was standing at the door with a pretty look. Before he got off the bicycle, the girl ran over and sat on the back seat.

"Pine Branch! Let's go!" She had just returned from signing in at the company.

Jun Matsueda lowered his head and sighed, then pedaled his bike to turn.

"Is it okay with the company?"

"The teacher said I'm in great shape. The performance is in the evening, so I can just rush back in the evening!"

"Okay." Matsueda Jun turned at the intersection. "By the way, how do you usually get from the station to your apartment on your way to work?"

"Take a taxi. The company will reimburse you."

"Then why do you want me to pick you up?" He turned back dissatisfiedly.

"Look at the road, look at the road!" The girl pushed his back and asked him to turn his head back.

"Because I want to experience school life. Who takes a taxi to school?"

"There are people who go to and from school in limousines."

"Eh hey hey? That's amazing! Does Matsueda know someone like this? Can I meet him too?"

"You'll see." He couldn't wait for the two of them to touch each other.

Jun Matsueda sped up, and the wind blew the girl's ponytail into a line parallel to the ground. Passers-by, roadside trees, and rows of buildings were left behind them.

A crow spread its wings over the city, looking at two small dots huddled together below, one black, one pink, moving quickly across the plane composed of black and white squares.

Kurusu opened his mouth and shouted: "I came - I saw - I conquered -"

"Come to the Yang World and arrive at Yuqiu!"

"You're almost twenty, can you stop being so immature?"

The bike shook for a while and suddenly slowed down.

Mochizuki Haruka was wearing a cloak and looking at the girl in front of the crystal ball. She was pretending to be a witch and reading divination for the girl. While the girl had her eyes closed, the witch glanced at the message on her phone and frowned.

Tomatsu Tomoka stood in the classroom, having changed into a retro maid outfit. The maid wore a gentle smile, her gaze drifting out the window from time to time.

They are all waiting for the arrival of a powerful opponent.

　Back when I was in school, there was a bakery downstairs from my dorm, and the aroma of bread wafting from the stairwell often made my mouth water.
