My love index is at its maximum.

The girl, shining brightly for the first time in front of everyone, was as pure and flawless as if she had just finished playing for the muse, the goddess of music. Her black hair cascaded down her back, and her arms were slender and fair.

“I think I saw a fairy.” Tsukasa Tazaki came to her side.

Kuriyama Sakura tilted her head to look at him, a smile in her clear eyes: "It seems like it's quite fun."

"I agree!"

Where to next?

"Whatever," said Tsukasa Tazaki. "Let's just walk out to the third house on the left and randomly pick an unlucky guy."

"Let's go then!"

Kuriyama Sakura tossed her ponytail and walked out the door first.

Living like someone your own age might be quite nice...

Liking something, finding it interesting, and enjoying it are all very delicate things. In the past, Kuriyama Sakura tended to think of it as a very personal matter, like a bookshelf dedicated to her personal favorite works. A bookshelf hidden in the corner of a room is something she wouldn't want others to see.

In retrospect, sharing and passing on information can be just as effective as simply focusing on personal experience.

Autumn dusk arrived early, and the sky darkened in the blink of an eye. Gray pigeons circled in the oak trees, preparing to return to their nests.

After the closing ceremony of the cultural festival, it was time to announce the various awards.

Chairperson Yui Kiseki took the microphone and the list of winners onto the stage, while her only assistant, Tsukasa Tazaki, was responsible for presenting the trophies.

Fun awards, creativity awards, and all sorts of other awards were given out one by one. The highly controversial stage play performance by Class 1-F also won a Most Popular Award...

Yes, it has a large number of both haters and fans, making it arguably the most popular.

The most prestigious ranking award.

The class won first place, with Class F of Grade 1 coming in second.

The top club is the ATF club.

Tsukasa Tazaki presented himself with two large gold trophies, one in each hand, and excitedly held them high as he circled around the stage. The applause from below was thunderous, interspersed with cheers from many girls.

After the awards were presented, Yui Kichikawa, as the chairperson, began the final procedure—summarizing the present and looking to the future.

From every perspective, this school festival was a great success.

The popularity and entertainment value far exceeded those of the past.

Aside from a few minor incidents...

During the physics department's drone performance, one of the drones went out of control and crashed through the classroom window. As expected, the chemistry department's experiment also encountered an accident, with several test tubes and beakers exploding, scaring everyone into a panic. Fortunately, everyone escaped unharmed in the end.

However, from a business perspective, these minor incidents attracted a large number of citizens to watch and discuss, which had a good effect.

Listening to Yui Kikawa's long and tedious speech, Tsukasa Tazaki, holding two trophies, yawned boredly. His first school festival experience had come to an end.

Chapter 251 Golden-haired Brother: Please let me never leave you, okay?

After the school festival, the school gave us a day off, which, combined with the first weekend of October, gave us a total of three days off.

As an executive committee member, Tazaki Tsukasa obediently participated in the cleanup work after the school festival.

I returned to the classroom at nine o'clock in the morning.

Tsukasa Tazaki took out the Macbook given to him by Kana Shimamoto and pulled up the records needed to write the formal report.

As the chairman's personal assistant, his final task was to compile the notes written by other group members and turn them into a formal report. Before even opening his computer and typing, he had to filter through everyone's notes and draft a well-organized outline.

"Tazaki, look!"

Murakami Mizuiro burst into the classroom, phone in hand, yelling at him, "Your video of dominating the school festival has surpassed two million views on YouTube! Besides that, there are also CP fans who edited together clips of you and Yui Kikawa and uploaded them to YouTube, getting over 800,000 views in just one night!!!"

"Oh."

Tazaki Tsukasa gave a faint reply and lay down on his desk to write a summary report of the school festival.

"You're famous now!"

"Oh."

"Why not just debut as a live streamer? You're sure to make a fortune."

"Oh."

Why aren't you excited at all?

"It's not like it's the first time I've been in the spotlight," Tsukasa Tazaki said lazily, his voice sounding incredibly irritating.

"..." Murakami Mizuiro opened his mouth, then suddenly remembered that he had already become a sensation when filming the tuna promotional video and the Jade Dragon Flag competition. This time, his sudden popularity at the school festival didn't seem to excite him much.

The classroom window was open, the autumn breeze rustled the curtains, and Tsukasa Tazaki stretched his neck and continued writing his report.

Seeing that he didn't have time to talk to her, Murakami Mizuiro couldn't stay idle by herself, so she kept watching videos of the school festival to pass the time. As a result, she accidentally came across a video of herself wearing a skirt and instantly became a fan of the show.

After finishing his report, Tsukasa Tazaki patted him on the shoulder in a comforting manner: "Don't be sad, isn't it pretty? Anyway, you can't find a girlfriend to make your dad cancel your engagement, so why not think about it from a different perspective and try to find a boyfriend to bring home!"

"Why don't you come back with me, Tazaki..."

"roll!"

Tazaki Tsukasa laughed and cursed, then walked out of the classroom with the report in his hand, while simultaneously bringing up the system's stock trading platform.

During the three-day school festival, every stock rose significantly.

The stock that rose the most was Da Ke Ai, which increased by 300 points. It dropped by 50 points twice along the way, and its current stock price is 426.

Yes, it has recovered to half of its peak. We need to keep working hard!

After the minister played the piano on the afternoon of the third day, the stock price jumped 50 points, currently at 250.

The little cutie watched the whole thing via live stream, but the stock price didn't rise at all.

Sachiko-nee was too busy to watch.

The eldest brother, Yui Kawakawa, rose from 143 to 193, just one step away from 200.

The silly deer's score also rose very quickly, from 141 to 181.

Mrs. Tazaki's weight increased from 230 to 330.

The student council president, who just started trading stocks, went from 60 to 140.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the month, so I need to check my available funds and buy the attribute expansion coupons first.

Tsukasa Tazaki thought for a moment.

I've decided to liquidate my aunt's shares.

If we don't go any further, 190 is basically the limit.

My current relationship with my aunt...

With my older brother around, there's no way I can go any further.

Even if you're really craving it, you can't.

[Current stock price of Kurikumo Kiku: 190]

[All positions liquidated, funds received: 190000]

Current available funds: 259104

The attribute expansion voucher costs 30, which isn't enough funds, so I'll have to sell Chiba-senpai's.

[Current stock price of Chiba Miho: 140]

[All positions liquidated, funds received: 140000]

Current available funds: 399104

Once the liquidation is complete, the secondary trading market will be opened.

[Basic Attribute Expansion Tickets x3: 300000]

[The item has been purchased.]

[Available funds before order placement: 99104]

[Confirm use.]

[Effected; current base attribute cap increased from 10 to 15]

After closing the blue system interface, Tsukasa Tazaki walked towards the executive committee office.

On the corridors and staircases of each floor, you can still see the remnants left behind by the burning friendship and passion of students from each class.

The next two days are the first weekend of October, so there's no need to come to school. Until the cleanup is complete, the remains will remain in place, serving as a memorial to the school festival.

After all of this disappears, the young men and women will step forward again and enter another brand new celebration of youth.

Walking on the elevated walkway, you can clearly feel that the daytime temperature is no longer as scorching as it was a month ago.

Through the glass, Tsukasa Tazaki looked out onto Yotsuya Street.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, and sunlight streamed across the rows of rooftops. The sunlight, the hues of the sky, the scent of the wind, the shapes of the clouds—everything seemed to proclaim the arrival of the beautiful autumn foliage season.

In the spring, I felt that school was nothing more than a prison before I grew up. But I don't know when I started to enjoy this rosy high school life, which is sometimes a bit childish.

This change in mood happened subtly and gradually in daily life. I can't remember the exact time, but I think it must be related to the three beautiful girls.

Arrived at the Executive Committee office.

Tsukasa Tazaki turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

This is still an ordinary meeting room, no different from before the school festival.

Bathed in the warm autumn sunlight, the blonde girl quietly stared at the computer screen.

The scene before him was like a painting, and Tsukasa Tazaki even had the illusion that even if the whole world was about to be destroyed, she would remain like this forever.

Yui Kikawa was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even hear Tsukasa Tazaki's footsteps when he walked in.

"What are you looking at?" He leaned closer, about to take a look.

"Eh?"

As if startled, Yui Kikawa turned her head sharply, her blonde hair swaying, and a very pleasant fragrance wafted out.

Tazaki Tsukasa couldn't help but look at her profile; her skin was fair, and her clear blue eyes were captivating.
