Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old

Chapter 8.27

I was walking alongside Yui to the gymnasium where the closing ceremony was to take place.

I was doing that while checking to see if there were any more guests left on the campus.

All the students are heading in the same direction.

Many, like Yui, are dressed in clothing related to their class presentation.

「Thanks, Nanba!」「We couldn’t have done it without you, Nanba-kun!」「I still can’t believe we could actually sell that much food!」「It was really an eye opener」

In the midst of all this, I was approached by some guys from my class.

This was something I had never experienced in my previous life.

I’m kind of……happy.

After parting ways with Yui at the entrance of the gymnasium, I went up to the catwalk.

I greeted the spotlight guy lightly and took my place.

It was my job to keep an eye on the students to make sure they won’t act up after being caught up in the atmosphere.

At the closing ceremony, a video clip of the school festival made by the broadcasting club was played in a music video style.

Today’s scenery was also included in the video.

When was it edited?

At the present time, editing videos on a computer is not yet common and I believe that the videos were edited directly from videotapes.

It was not an era when anyone could make videos at home so how did they do it?

After the PV, the class awards were announced.

Yeah, there’s something like that.

I had forgotten about it because my priority is to have Yui enjoy this festival.

Apparently, the committee members make a comprehensive judgment based on sales, excitement, and other factors.

However, the decision was made by the committee chairman and a few others, so I was not involved in the judging part.

When the 3rd place winners were announced, the selected class was very excited.

The reason for this was because the 3rd place winners would receive a subsidy ticket for certain events.

The first place, by the way, is a very expensive yakiniku restaurant.

This is part of the sponsorship agreement.

When the second place was announced, I could feel the air in the gymnasium relax.

As for why, it’s because everyone had already guessed the first place.

「1st place, 2nd year class 3, Yuri Miller Style Café!」

Even so, the moment the announcement was made it was met with thunderous applause.

On the screen on the stage, Yui’s smiling face was shown in real time by a camera from the broadcasting club pointed at her.

When Yui spotted me on the catwalk, she gave me a thumbs up.

When I did the same, the entire audience booed.

No, no, most of the school booed.

Should I exercise my executive committee authority to take them out?

After the closing ceremony, there was a campfire and folk dance on the school grounds, an event that I think is surprisingly rarely held at many schools.

The campfire was made to look like a campfire, but it was really a big kerosene stove.

This is apparently to prevent complaints from neighbors.

I didn’t know such a product existed. It could be a custom-made product though.

Only students who have a partner are allowed to participate in the folk dance.

Most of them are couples but some of them are same sex dancers.

I don’t know if they were a couple or just partnered up for the sake of participating in the folk dance.

The students who are not dancing either go home or just watch from afar.

Those who are watching from afar are either setting their sights on inviting someone or waiting to be invited.

Incidentally, Yui is surrounded by a circle of boys who want to ask her out.
