What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

"What fake wine?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's face was flushed, and her eyes did not look blurry at all from being drunk. Instead, they were quite clear. If it weren't for the smile she always had, which was different from the cold and arrogant look in the impressions of Shiki, it would be hard to tell whether she was drunk or not.

"It's nothing. If you feel tired, it's okay for you to take a nap."

Si Ji changed his tone and tried to persuade him gently.

"No."

Why is your tone becoming like that of a little kid...

"If you're worried that I might do something strange to you when we're alone in the same room, that's not necessary." Shiki said righteously, "After all, I have spare keys to all the rooms in Washimiya Dormitory. If you really want to do something, you can do it at home unless you're looking for excitement."

"I know, so even if the locks were changed, I still trust Washimiya-kun," the girl replied.

"Thank you for your trust then...wait, did you change the locks?"

"In fact, in the first few days after I moved in, I put a note under the door, but later I found that nothing bad happened, so I stopped doing that."

The girl said.

She suddenly stood up, walked to Siji, and rubbed Siji's head with her hand, just like rubbing a husky's head: "Thank you, for always helping me like this..."

"…It's nothing. I don't think it's a bother."

"And the food is delicious too." The girl's tone became a little more cheerful.

"Well, I'm quite confident about this." Si Ji said proudly.

"Although I am very angry about what happened on the day of the physical examination, I will take revenge on you sooner or later!"

"You are unexpectedly petty, Miss Minister."

"Just wait and hope."

“I don’t think there’s anything to look forward to…”

"Swashimiya-kun."

"What's wrong, Minister?"

"Thank you." Yukino continued to touch his head.

"I've said enough today. Do you want to express all your gratitude to me in this life so that you can order me around with peace of mind in the future?" Si Ji responded helplessly.

"Lord of the Vulture Palace."

"Ms. Minister, when you get drunk, will you turn into a parrot?"

"I'm sorry, I have nothing to repay you." The girl said with a smile and a slightly crying tone, "Because I am no longer my own."

"...I never expected this kind of thing from the beginning." Si Ji sighed.

"Shiki-kun."

"What's wrong, Minister... Also, has your name changed to me?"

"Your head feels so nice to the touch."

"Stop it, I'm not a pet, don't lift my hair up!"

Chapter 215: The Opening of the Fengyin Festival

Accompanied by a burst of powerful music, the usually closed door of the Private Toyosaki Academy suddenly opened, indicating that the Toyosaki Festival had officially begun.

In theory, this kind of activity completely organized by students should be far inferior to activities such as school festivals organized by the school in all aspects.

But the Fengyin Festival is an exception.

The sponsorship that Shiki obtained from the two libraries almost allowed Fengsai to completely ignore the cost issue and devote itself to improving other aspects.

Also, because most of the preparatory work is done by students themselves, although there are subsidies, the amount of subsidies is definitely not at the same level as that of professionals, so the actual labor cost is also very low, and the cost-effectiveness of the budget investment is much higher than the standard set at the beginning with reference to the market price. This directly leads to the quality of all aspects of the Fengyin Festival far exceeding the initial expectations.

Even though students make a lot of mistakes at the beginning because they are not familiar with the skills - which is also the highest initial cost loss - the quality will get higher and higher as their proficiency increases and they continue to try and make mistakes.

If someone who is indecisive were to take charge, there is a possibility that the whole thing would fail due to indecision and inability to make up one's mind on some aspects, but this time it is Yukinoshita Yukino who is in full control of the Toyone Festival.

Although she is not a perfect superhuman who is born with knowledge, she has qualified decision-making ability. The girl herself is not the kind of person who makes decisions by sitting in the office. Instead, she will go to the site to understand it personally, and then solve various problems based on actual conditions, so that the entire preparation process can proceed smoothly.

In addition, she had the student council president Amakusa Shino, who had the audacity to show her support for the Toyones Festival, to take the blame for her, and the vice president Kagamigawa Chloe, who was very popular and had a delicate mind and affinity, to help her find out the gaps and fill them in. In addition, Shiki would occasionally secretly help to remove some unstable factors. In the end, the Toyones Festival was held with a very high degree of completion, and even professionals who specialize in organizing various activities would be amazed when they saw it.

At the same time, as sponsors, FULLDRIVE Bunko and Fushigawa Bunko certainly would not let their not-too-cheap sponsorship go to waste, and they secretly sent people to investigate the preparations for the Toyoin Festival. After learning that this student-organized event was of such a high standard, they also lent a helping hand in publicity.

Through their respective publicity channels, both parties dubbed the Toyoin Festival as the 'Light Novel Reitai' or 'The World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the Light Novel World', which instantly created a stir among light novel fans and attracted the attention of countless people.

This is why there was a huge crowd outside the school early in the morning on the opening day of the Fengyin Festival - this even scared the school security guards, who almost called the police for support.

Fortunately, the security system specially strengthened by Shiki ensures that the security personnel of Fengzhizaki will not feel too cramped. Even in the face of such a situation, it is still enough to maintain order in the entire venue.

When the school gate opened and the Toyosaki Festival began, the guests who were still queuing outside rushed into the Toyosaki campus.

As a private college, Fengzhiqi, backed by Maple Leaf Technology, naturally has no shortage of funds for infrastructure and maintenance. After all, this is the school that Shiki himself wants to attend. Even though he rarely appeared in school in the past two years and his attendance was terrible, anyone who dares to play tricks in this regard will obviously not have a good ending.

This directly led to the fact that although Toyonosaki was not an aristocratic school that sold its admission rate, its interior decoration was exquisite and luxurious far beyond that of ordinary aristocratic schools. In the whole of Tokyo... no, looking at the whole of Japan, probably only Shuchiin, which was also not short of money, could be compared with it.

However, as a private school, Fengzhizaki is generally not open to the public for visits. Even during the school festival, it will not inform others in a high-profile manner, so usually only students' parents and relatives may come to participate.

It can be said that this is the first time since the school was founded that the school has been publicly displayed to so many unrelated people like today.

"Hey... so this is what Toyogasaki looks like inside." With a tablet hanging on his chest, Izumi Masamune mingled with the crowd with great interest, strolling around the campus of Toyogasaki.

He originally thought that with so many people outside, the school would probably be crowded as well. However, after entering, the wide vestibule that made people feel like a park immediately diverted the tourists and allowed him to move freely and easily.

The first thing that caught his eye was naturally the Rococo-style teaching building in the middle. If it were in the past, this building would have given people a solemn and dignified feeling like a palace.

But this time, the entire front was covered with a super-large poster, and on the poster was an obviously carefully drawn family portrait of the heroines of several leading light novels from FULLDRIVE Bunko and Fuzugawa Bunko.

Izumi Masamune, who is also a light novel writer, couldn't help but feel a little moved.

It’s a pity that he belongs to Dengeki Bunko, which has nothing to do with this year’s Toyoin Festival, and this is not his main purpose for coming to the Toyoin Festival.

[The style of painting is wrong. The heroine on this poster is not the work of the new artist. It should be drawn by another illustrator. Stupid brother, hurry up and leave. Don't block the way here! ]

A somewhat coquettish voice came from the tablet on his chest.

If someone looked closely at the tablet at this time, they would find that the communication software on it was in video communication mode, but the other party did not turn on the camera, and the screen frame was black, resulting in only the image on this side being transmitted unilaterally.

"Is it okay to just go to the "Dark Fairy of Explosion" booth?" Izumi Masamune sighed, looking away from the light novel fans (?) who were looking under the skirts of the heroines to see if there were any Easter eggs under the posters: "Are the works of FULLDRIVE Library going in... this direction?"

His sister, Izumi Sagiri, is a very famous new illustrator, pen name 'Eromanga Sensei' (Sagiri: I don't know anyone with that name), and was the illustrator for FULLDRIVE Bunko's bestseller "Exploding Dark Fairy".

However, the illustrations for the latest volume of "Exploding Dark Fairy" were drawn by teacher Eri Kashiwagi, which was a big shock to Sagiri Izumi.

Although the original author, Yamada Youjing, had contacted her properly and even knelt down to apologize, this made Izumi Sagiri even more curious about why the other party wanted to replace her with Kashiwagi Eri even though she had to do this.

And this Fengyin Festival is obviously a good opportunity!

Chapter 216: The Grand Opening of the Fengyin Festival

However, having said that, Izumi Sagiri is a homebody girl - different from the hidden homebody like Eriri or the consumerist like Yamada Youjing, she is a "homebody" in the truest sense of the word.

She had hardly left her home for more than a year, and she even seldom left her room. She relied entirely on her brother Izumi Masamune to deliver meals to the door, and she would only sneak into the bathroom to take a bath when his brother was out, showing her autism to the extreme.

So it was naturally impossible for her to come here in person to investigate the cause, and she could only appoint her brother to help.

Izumi Masamune, who doted on his sister very much, naturally became Izumi Sagiri's jinchūriki. He had no choice but to listen to her instructions helplessly, wandering around the campus of Toyosaki, providing a first-person real-life adventure for his home-bound sister.

"I've already expressed my admiration for this, but this Toyosaki is truly amazing..."

Walking through the teaching building to the atrium, Izumi Masamune couldn't help but marvel once again at the area that was almost the same as the front yard and the various horticultural plants that were obviously carefully maintained.

[Is there anything special about it? Aren’t all schools in galgames like this? Especially those girls’ schools with ‘onee-sama’…]

The voice of Izumi Sagiri was heard from the tablet.

"Don't bring common sense from games into real life. Real schools are not that luxurious."

Izumi Masamune first complained, then asked curiously: "Does Sagiri like that kind of game?"

[…It’s just a reference for drawing, stupid brother!]

What’s interesting is that although the courtyard has the flavor of a medieval aristocratic manor, the light novel stalls interspersed in it do not feel particularly abrupt at all. Instead, they are just right, adding a bit of harmony to the courtyard. Obviously, the style of the stalls and even the location of posting posters have been carefully designed, so professional that it is hard to believe that this is just an event organized entirely by students.

Not to mention that there are several small open-air live stages throughout the school. After watching a performance next to those stages, you can print a cute stamp on the point collection card you receive at the school gate. The stamps on each open-air stage are different. If you collect ten stamps, you can go to any stall to exchange them for a completely free light novel. This can be said to be one of the popular activities of this Fengyin Festival.

The performers on the stage were obviously from the student group of this school. In addition to the common performances such as singing and dancing, there were also mini operas (for some reason there was a giraffe doll next to the stage), To○M1 manzai, talk shows, and even kendo and sumo. It was eye-opening and quite interesting.

And because the performers are all students, the audience will not be particularly harsh even if there are some mistakes. Instead, they will laugh in good faith and will not hesitate to give applause of encouragement and praise to those excellent works.

Even if there are occasional troublemakers, they will be expelled by the security guards in an instant, and the whole process of the tour gives people a pleasant feeling.

The light novel section, which was the main topic, did not disappoint those who came for it. Almost all the light novels on sale except the main stories were on sale. The library also commissioned authors to write special spin-offs related to the Housen Festival, which were sold in the form of thin booklets with illustrations at a very low price of 100 yen per copy.

Some novels with similar worldviews will even have joint extra-episodes. Only by running around those stalls and collecting all the booklets can you get the full picture of the joint story, and even the illustrations can be pieced together to form a long complete composition. In addition, there are two signature works of the library that would never have intersected, but because of the dream linkage created by this Fengyin Festival, these booklets that were originally just icing on the cake have become hot sellers.

Izumi Masamune thinks that these things will most likely not be remade in the future and will be out of print after this Housen Festival. In the future, their prices will most likely increase to thousands or even tens of thousands of yen to become dream products.

He wandered around the Toyosaki campus, looking for the stall where "The Exploding Dark Fairy" was located.

If there is anything bad about this Fengyin Festival, it is probably that the locations of all the stalls were not marked out at the beginning like CM, so finding a specific stall can only rely on luck.

Interestingly, in some rest areas, Izumi Masamune also saw many light novel fans bartering for the booklets they owned - each person was limited to purchasing two copies of this booklet with an admission ticket linked to a point collection card. In addition to collecting one copy for themselves, the other could be used to preach or exchange for the extra chapters of their favorite works, which was a very loving act.

Occasionally, you can see students from Toyonosaki on the road. Most of them are walking around the open-air stages. Some of them seem to be in a hurry as if they are rushing to the next stage. Only a few of them are actually strolling around like guests.

Just like the two girls not far from Izumi Masamune, one of them is a girl with blonde twin tails, and the other has long black straight hair. Both of them have the looks of school beauties. Is it possible that such high-quality girls are so common in Toyonosaki?

"Sawamura, have you ever brought any pets into the club room before?"

"No? Why do you ask, Minister Yukinoshita?"

"I seem to have encountered a pet about this size that felt very nice to the touch, but I can't remember who brought it..."

"Then it's definitely not a small dog. Could it be the student council accountant, Hagimura Suzu? I remember she seemed to have a big golden retriever."

"No, I don't like dogs, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a dog."

"Hey~ That's strange, what could it be? Kappa?"

"Maybe I was just confused in my sleep. Never mind. Let's forget about it."

Seeing two people walking towards him, Izumi Masamune quickly changed his route, fearing that he would be regarded as a pervert who eavesdropped on girls' conversations.

After a while, he finally found the booth of "Dark Fairy". After all, as one of the best-selling works of FULLDRIVE Library, the booth would definitely not be particularly remote.

But after asking the staff at the booth, they learned that Yamada Yaoi was one of the few people who did not write a sequel for this year's Housen Festival, which made Izumi Masamune and Izumi Sagiri very disappointed.

At this time, a boy passing by, wearing a Toyosaki uniform, who looked like an ordinary passerby, like Nobita with long hair, suddenly said.

"As for that Yamada Fairy teacher, she was busy writing the script, so she couldn't finish the extra chapter before the deadline." He drank milk tea from nowhere and instructed nonchalantly: "If you go to the auditorium now, you should be able to catch the stage play "Happy Feather" for which she is the scriptwriter."

Chapter 217 QQ Delicious Milk Tea

The performances in the auditorium are naturally also the focus of publicity.

It would be better to say that the Fengyin Festival was originally held for this plate of vinegar-wrapped dumplings.

In addition to the stamps that can be stamped after entering and watching a performance like other open-air live stages, there are also acrylic stands or pendants of various light novel characters. The character pictures are all redrawn according to the new rules, and the original color pictures in the book are not used as substitutes. However, you cannot actively choose them, they are all random blind boxes. You can also exchange your favorite gifts with other like-minded people in the exchange area.

Moreover, compared to the open-air stage where performances would occasionally stop, the stage in the auditorium was always open for performances and was in a very stable state. In addition, the programs that could be performed in the auditorium had been selected by Yukinoshita Yukino and the student union, so the quality control was much better than that of the open-air stage. With the support of the performances on the open-air stage, the performances in the auditorium received widespread acclaim from the participants.

"What should I do! Pochi-chan is so nervous after seeing so many people that she can't even maintain her human form!"

Behind the stage, Ijichi Hongxia hurriedly found Shiki who came to check on the stage situation and said.

"You're talking like some kind of special cursed spirit..." Shiki sipped his milk tea and complained, "Don't you guys often perform in your sister's STARRY? Isn't she used to being watched?"

"That's different. There aren't that many viewers in STARRY."

Hongxia shook her head.

Should we say that the publicity effect is too good, or that it has been a bit too much? After all, STARRY is just a small underground livehouse. Even when it is the most crowded, the number of audiences is less than one-tenth of that in the packed auditorium at this moment.

"Get it for me."

After stuffing the delicious QQ milk tea he bought from the system mall into Hongxia's hand, Shiki walked towards Goto Ichiri, whose whole figure had begun to become weird.

"Yili, it's me."

"So many people... so many people... I feel like I'm going to melt..."

But at this time, Goto Ichiri seemed to be unable to understand human language.
