In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

About twenty minutes into the movie, the pre-show bell rang.

Although today is the first day of the school festival, it doesn't mean that you can start having fun as soon as you arrive at school.

First, each class will hold a class meeting where the class committee or teacher will inform students of the precautions for the school festival and arrange for the people who will stay behind to oversee the activities in each class.

After everyone arrived at the gymnasium, the lively school festival officially began after the opening ceremony hosted by the school leaders.

"I never expected that the results of our filming would be so amazing." Eriri was quite dazed, feeling as if it were all unreal.

Rikka sighed with a hint of regret: "We were just at the most crucial moment, and it seemed like Kazusa was going to kiss my brother in the next scene."

Kazusa blushed instantly at her words: "Rikka!"

"Haha, just kidding."

Yukino closed her notebook: "We'll watch it in the multimedia classroom later. Let's all go back to our classes now."

Chiya also made follow-up arrangements: "We'll meet here again after the opening ceremony. Once we've handed out these flyers, we can officially start enjoying the school festival."

So everyone returned to their respective classrooms.

There wasn't much to say about the class meeting; it was similar to the school festival in middle school. The teachers mainly reminded the students not to go too far and to be careful.

In addition, since there are many people from outside the school today, please be mindful of your words and actions and avoid leaving a bad impression.

Considering the heavy academic pressure students face daily and the long-awaited annual school festival, the school leaders unusually gave only a few brief remarks at the opening ceremony before handing the microphone over to the student council president for support.

The president of the city patrol's speech was similar to the impression she gave off in private—energetic and approachable. Finally, she raised her arm and gave a shout, which was met with enthusiastic applause from the entire audience, and the school festival officially began.

As agreed, Gen Chiya headed straight for the Service Department, and the others arrived one after another.

As everyone was distributing the flyers and preparing to leave, there was a knock on the door of the Service Department.

Sorry to bother you~

Having received a response, the City Patrol President, who had just been speaking on stage, smiled and peeked out before walking in.

Behind her, a face that everyone was very familiar with walked in.

"Sister." Yukino exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Nai nimbly slipped out from behind the president, waving playfully: "Yay~ everyone, long time no see!"

Chapter 046: School Festival Part Two

"Sister, what are you doing here? You should have gone to school today, shouldn't you?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's because I want to see how my lovely little sister performs at the school festival." That's how Haruno answered her sister, but without the slightest hesitation, she walked up to Minamoto Chiyo and said to him again, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time since I've seen Yang Nai-jie. Since you're here, you're welcome to come and watch the movie we all made together if you have time. It's in the multimedia classroom, and the first screening will be at 10:30 this morning." Yuan Qianye took out an admission ticket from her pocket, picked one out, and handed it over.

Yang Nai took it, glanced at her sister with some surprise, and quickly looked away: "The event you prepared for the school festival was a movie, huh? Not bad, you filmed it all by yourself?"

Yuan Qianye shook his head: "Of course not. As I said, this is the result of everyone's cooperation. Of course, we also relied on the help of others, including the support of the City Patrol Association President who gave us the green light throughout the process. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to complete the movie so smoothly on our own."

"Oh?" Yang Nai turned her head curiously to look at her former junior.

Cheng Huixun quickly waved his hand with a light laugh: "I didn't do anything at all. I just provided you with some school facilities within the scope of my duties."

Yang Nai looked at Yuan Qianye again, her smile widening: "Everyone else is thinking about how to embellish their own reputation, but you're doing the complete opposite."

Yuan Qianye shrugged: "I'm just stating the facts."

"Sister!" Yukino frowned slightly, already showing some displeasure.

"Alright, alright." Yang Nai understood that she was unhappy because he hadn't answered her question earlier, so he shrugged and explained, "I came here today because I was invited."

At this moment, Cheng Huixun also helped to explain: "That's right. Yukinoshita-senpai was the student council president of Soubu High School for several years. Everyone likes the school atmosphere under her management. She is very popular. So this time, I specially invited her back as an outstanding graduate to visit and experience this year's school festival together."

Some of the reasons behind this are also personal. For example, Yukinoshita Haruno, who is so outstanding, strong, and confident, is still her idol and the goal she aspires to be. She hopes that she can become like her in the future.

Therefore, this invitation was an opportunity she deliberately created to get closer to her idol again.

"In conclusion, that's it." Yang Nai smiled and turned her gaze to the others present, greeting them even more warmly and affectionately.

He put his arm around Eriri's shoulder and gently poked Rikka's soft little face. When he finally saw Kazusa, who was one of the few people in his life who had made him taste failure, he was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly regained his composure and took the initiative to raise his hand and wave a simple greeting.

"By the way, several juniors who just came here gave me a bag of chocolates and a lot of vouchers. Let's all share the chocolates. As for the vouchers, I can't use them all by myself, so please help me use them up."

"We can't accept this." Eriri and Rikka instinctively refused, but Chiyo accepted it without hesitation.

Yang Nai nodded in satisfaction: "That's how it should be. Why are you being so polite with me? What are your plans for later?"

Yuan Qianye waved the flyer in his hand: "We'll split into several groups to distribute these later, and then you'll be free to move around."

“Every class is required to put on an activity for the school festival. Aren’t you going back to help?” As the student council president for several years, Haruno knew the arrangements for the school festival like the back of her hand.

Yuan Qianye: "Our class held an exhibition of old items. Half of the class was randomly selected to take turns guarding it, and I was lucky enough not to be one of them."

Eriri: "Our class is in fortune telling, and three members of the fortune telling club volunteered for the task. We all helped with setting up the venue, but they said they didn't need anyone else's help with watching over it afterwards."

Rikka: "Our class runs a small restaurant, but I was chosen by lottery to help out tomorrow afternoon."

Yukino: "I'm the same as Rikka."

In the end, only Kazusa remained.

She was initially out of sorts, and only reacted a beat later when everyone announced their class's schedule.

She hesitated for a moment and then shook her head: "No one has ever told me about this."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Rikka moved closer and took her hands in hers: "It's okay, Kazusa, you still have us."

"what?"

Yuan Qianye also came to her side, gently patted her shoulder, and gave her an encouraging smile.

Kazusa looked utterly speechless: "What kind of act are you two putting on now?"

Cheng Huixun then spoke to Yang Nai, "Senior, it's almost time."

"Okay." Yang Nai nodded and greeted the others: "I have to go to the student council office now. I'll see you guys later. Bye."

Just as suddenly as she arrived, Yang Nai left in a flurry after finishing her sentence.

"I'm sorry, my sister has always been like this."

"It's alright, let's hurry up and hand out flyers instead."

"Ah."

Finally, the group split into two groups. Eriri, Rikka, and Yukino went to the school gate where there were the most people to distribute flyers, while Chiya and Kazusa were free to move around on the teaching building side.

"It's a rare school festival, why do you look unhappy? Is it because of what we just talked about?"

In the lobby on the first floor of the teaching building, as Yuan Qianye handed out flyers with a smile, he noticed the less-than-bright expression on He Sha's face.

Kazusa handed a flyer to the family of three, then turned to look at him and asked, "What were you talking about?"

What could have happened? Of course, it refers to the fact that you were silently ignored by the whole class.

However, the person in question seemed completely unaware and unconcerned, so Yuan Qianye decided it would be better not to bring it up.

"Never mind what I said, I was just a little worried because you seemed a bit down... Hello, the fantasy romance film 'Secret,' produced by the Soubu High Service Club, will be screened in the multimedia classroom. If you're interested, please come and support us. You can get a small serving of popcorn at the entrance by showing this flyer."

I've been found out...

Kazusa hesitated for a moment, and after waiting for Chiyo Minamoto to smile and hand over the flyer, she thought for a moment and then spoke up: "Actually, it's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's just that I feel a bit helpless right now."

"Helpless?" Looking at Kazusa at this moment, Chiyo thought for a moment, understood, and took the initiative to extend her hand: "Your personality is like that too, give it all to me."

"What?"

"You seem to hate handing out flyers, right? Leave it all to me. You find a place to sit and wait for me. I'll be done in no time. After I'm done, let's go find Yukino and the others to see if they're finished. Then we can go browse around the various stalls together. The oden and squid over there smelled really good. And we also have some vouchers from Haruno-nee, so let's use them."

"What kind of person do you take me for? We agreed to post together, so we all post together. The helplessness I'm referring to is my mother."

"Aunt Touma, what happened to her?"

"She called last night and said she was already in the airport lounge waiting for her flight to take off, and she would probably be home tonight."

"Really? Her overseas tour has gone smoothly. Shouldn't you be happy that she's back?"

She said the timing was perfect, and that she would come to the school tomorrow to see what people thought of the movie I was in.

"Let her come. We'll prepare a spot for her in advance. It's fine if she wants to bring her friends too."

"That's not the issue..." Kazusa found it quite difficult to say, but under Chiya's increasingly puzzled gaze, she still managed to explain, "...Don't you feel awkward having your family watch the movies you act in and hear you say those cheesy and embarrassing lines?"

Yuan Qianye nodded thoughtfully: "You think those lines in my script are cheesy and embarrassing... Why didn't you bring them up before?"

"That's not the point, and that's not what I meant!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with letting my family watch the movies I'm in. On the contrary, I'm actually looking forward to their reactions."

"..."

"What's wrong? I was just telling the truth."

"Your skin is much thicker than I expected."

"Most successful people in history have the trait of being thick-skinned. I'll take this as a compliment."

Although it was out of helplessness, Kazusa finally managed a smile.

Yuan Qianye nodded in satisfaction: "You should smile more like you are now. Although you look good with a cold face all day, you lack a bit of approachability and cuteness."

Kazusa didn't hold back in commenting on him either: "You should laugh less when you're not laughing. When you laugh, you become frivolous."

Chiyo couldn't agree with this and wanted to continue arguing with her, but Kazusa had already taken two steps toward a couple to hand out flyers.

That's fine, I'll enjoy the school festival properly after I finish my work.

Around 9 o'clock, Gen Chiya ran into Saeko Busujima, who was patrolling the school wearing a disciplinary committee armband.

Upon noticing this, Kazusa's eyes darkened, and she silently took a few quick steps away.

However, Saeko seemed oblivious to her little action. After exchanging a few words with Chiyo, she came over to Kazusa and gave her a ticket to the Kendo Club's Kendo Sparring Show, inviting her to come and watch when she had time.

After that, she took her leave and did not linger for long.

As Saeko walked away, students would greet her warmly at almost every stall she passed.

"Your girlfriend is a very outstanding person."
