Akari Yamamoto

*The school festival was in full swing. Students and guests were milling about the hallways, and music, laughter, and the smell of freshly baked goods wafted everywhere. A themed café was open in one classroom, a horror room in another, and preparations for concert performances were already underway in the gym.

When everyone had finally gotten out of their classrooms, the four of them met by the stairs on the second floor. After some debate about where to start, the group decided to simply stroll through the entire school. They popped into almost every classroom, sampled various sweets, laughed at the funny contests, and took photos near the colorful decorations.

Several hours had passed, but no one was even thinking about leaving. In fact, someone suggested going out into the courtyard, where the final events of the festival were just beginning...*
