On the other side, Kita Ikuyo had completely become one of the group.

"Hiroi is indeed like that. He's incredibly troublesome when he's not drinking, and incredibly annoying when he is. I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Kita."

Shima Iwashita said with a smile.

"No, no, although Hiroi-senpai is annoying, has bad character, and lacks self-awareness, he does have a good side."

Kita Ikuyoya explained with a polite smile, though nothing more was said after the "good side."

Eliza looked around.

"Strange, where did the girl who brought us in go?"

"Ah, now that you mention it, that makes sense. Where is Ijichi-senpai?"

"Here."

Nijika Ijichi, holding a cup of drinks, peeked her head out from behind them.

"Little Kita, could you please carry this for me?"

"Okay!"

Kita Ikuyo stepped forward and took the drink.

Ichi Nijika looked at the others.

"You've walked for so long, why don't you sit down and rest for a while? What are you doing standing all this time?"

Nijika Ijichi led SICK HACK and the others to sit down.

"By the way, what brings you all here?"

"Find Xiao Qing to participate in the temple fair!"

Eliza said.

Kita Ikuyo was slightly taken aback.

Goto Ichiri peeked out from under the table.

Yamada Ryo drank his beverage without saying a word.

"Then why don't you just go directly there? What are you doing here?"

Ijichi Hoshika walked over and asked.

"?!"

Suddenly noticing something, Ichiji Nijika shook her head violently.

First, she looked at Ichiji Hoshika.

Then she looked at Eliza Shimizu.

Then she looked at Ichiji Hoshika.

This cycle repeats itself.

It seems so?! I didn't even notice!

Ichi Nijika was dumbfounded.

"We came to Fanxing first because we needed to find a place to change clothes, and Xiaoqing said she wanted to ask you guys if you wanted to come!"

Eliza took off the large bag from behind her and placed it on the table.

Sizzle~

The zipper was unzipped, and Eliza opened the bag.

A dazzling array of yukatas, all neatly folded in the backpack.

"Look! I brought more than a dozen items! They're all brand new!"

"...Why would Miss Eliza buy so many yukatas?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"...I wanted to go during my first year in Japan, but I never had the chance. Every year I would buy several yukatas, but no one ever went..."

"Oh...I see..."

Kita Ikuyo broke out in a cold sweat.

"Anyway! Are you guys going?! I can just give you the yukatas!"

Eliza suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"No...actually, it's okay not to wear a yukata, right?"

Kita Yuki tilted her head.

"Those are the French who refuse to surrender!"

"A metaphor with no clear meaning?!"

Eliza shook her head.

"NO! Japanese people wear yukatas when they go to temple fairs!"

"...When did this happen...when I had no clothes to wear?"

As Ichi Seika spoke, she sat down next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"That's how it is in anime! Don't you young people know that?!"

Eliza said, her voice wavering.

"No... I'm not interested in anime or anything like that..."

Kita Ikuyo said.

"I watch it occasionally, but most things in anime are artistic creations, and there's very little that you can believe. For example, not all Japanese high school students actually like yakisoba bread."

Nijika Ichichi raised a finger and said.

"impossible!!!"

Bang bang bang!

Eliza banged on the table.

"Japanese high school students only eat yakisoba bread! Rice balls, and their lover's bento boxes!"

"That would be too much trouble to eat at home every day."

As Iwashita Shima spoke, she pressed Eliza's head down.

"You've been in Japan for three years now, so it's about time you broke free from the stereotypes about anime."

"NO!!!"

"No won't work!"

Ichi Nijika watched the two playfully bickering and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

I always felt that she was actually a very easy person to get along with.

That's good.

So, are you going or not?

At this moment, Nekoyashiki Haru spoke up and asked.

I want to go!

Kita Ikuyo raised her hand and spoke.

"I also think it's fine."

Ichi Nijika smiled and agreed.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, then turned to face under the table.

"And one li?"

"If everyone goes... I... I'll go... but I can't wear a yukata! I'll die!"

"Then I won't wear it."

After patting Goto Ichiri's head, Nekoyashiki Haru looked up.

"Alright everyone, those who need to change their clothes, please change them. Those who don't need to change, please get ready. We should set off now."

"... "

Ichi Hoshika remained silent for a moment.

As if sensing something, Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly asked.

"Is Sister Xingge going?"

"...The stars will be open for business at night."

"Whether you're around or not usually doesn't really matter that much, right?"

"...But we still need to find someone to guard the door..."

Ijichi Seika suddenly froze, then looked at Pa-san who was walking towards them.

"Is everyone going to the temple fair? I can..."

"You watch the door."

"Ijichi Hoshika interrupted Pa-san," he said.

"well?!?!"
