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

"arrive!"

It sounds complicated, but in fact the whole process only takes three to five seconds.

Shiki gently put down Yukino, who was on his shoulders.

At this time, the girl's face was as pale as her name, and her expression was blank and she hadn't come back to her senses yet.

About three to five seconds later, the frightened Yukino finally came to her senses. With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and pounded on Shiki's chest with her fists: "You idiot! Do you know how dangerous what you just did was?"

Normally, even if the girl encountered something she didn't like or something that made her feel unhappy, she would just treat it with a cold eye, or at most make some sarcastic remarks. But this time, she went straight to using her fists. It seemed that Si Ji's behavior of intimidating her just now had indeed made her defenses break down.

"Sorry? But I did that because I have some confidence in my skills..."

Unlike the sweet actions between lovers in romance novels, Si Ji felt a little suffocated by the blow and could only apologize: "Since I went up to rescue the minister after all, how about we call it even?"

"No, let's put one thing in another," Ping No stopped Xue A and said solemnly, "I will find a chance to thank you for your help."

She bit her lip, and then her voice became a little weak: "I'm not... Anyway, it's better for Washimiya-kun to keep some distance from me in the future."

"Why? I quite like you, Minister."

Si Ji winked and said with a smile.

Yukino looked at him deeply, turned around and left without saying anything.

Si Ji stroked his chin: As expected, this guy is like a cat that doesn't trust people. If you tease him too much, he will run away.

"Is she angry?"

At this time, Eriri came over and said, "It's no wonder. I would be angry if I encountered such a situation."

"There's nothing to be angry about. The minister is just embarrassed."

Shiki said with confidence.

"Princess carry aside, being carried on someone's shoulders like a sack in front of everyone would make any girl feel unhappy, right?"

Eriri glanced at Shiki and felt that although this guy was very skilled, he seemed to have some problems with his emotional intelligence.

"I see," Shiki nodded seriously, "Then what position do you think is better, Ms. Sawamura?"

"Of course it's more romantic, being able to look into each other's eyes, with our bodies pressed against each other, and feeling each other's hearts beating. Driven by the suspension bridge effect, the rhythm of our hearts gradually synchronizes, and finally the love overflowing from our chests makes it natural - what are you asking me to say!"

"No, no, no, I just asked a very normal question. You are the one who started to think in a wrong way halfway through, right?"

Si Ji couldn't help but complain.

"I just absorb romanticism as spiritual food." Eriri vowed.

Si Ji looked at the girl with a squinting eye, looking at her righteous expression.

If he didn't know that this guy was a comic book artist, and was famous for specializing in Ling○Xiang, he might have believed the other party's lies.

"that……"

Furukawa Nagisa, who had come to the backstage at some point, saw the two people chatting, so she walked over and asked, "Has anyone seen Ms. Yukino?"

"Oh, Senior Furukawa, why did you come here just now?" Eriri asked subconsciously.

After all, it has been a while since the third scene of "Happy Feather" ended.

"I went to talk to my dad first," Furukawa Nagisa smiled a little embarrassedly, "Now I want to thank Ms. Yukino. If it weren't for her help, I might not have been able to muster up the courage."

"Can a flashlight really have such a good effect?" Ying Lili was a little surprised.

"Not only that, there are other aspects..." Furukawa Nagisa smiled bitterly, not quite sure how to explain: "And the entire Fengyin Festival is also under her care."

"The minister should be in the lounge now..." Shiki said to her.

"No, Director Yukinoshita definitely didn't go to the lounge." But Eriri gave a sly smile: "Let's go to the audience seats!"

Chapter 236 The Last Show

"Audience seats?"

Shiki was stunned. He indeed didn't notice which direction Yukinoshita Yukino left from, but why was it in the audience seats?

As the head of the service department of the organizer of the Toyoin Festival, Yukinoshita Yukino will still appear backstage even though she has no shows to perform. This is because she has a position similar to that of the chief director and is responsible for dealing with problems that occur on the stage.

It would be unlikely for her to leave the backstage and go to the audience seats given her position.

But what puzzled Shiki was that after Eriri said this, Furukawa Nagisa not only did not feel that something was wrong like him, but instead showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Furuga..."

"Thank you, Sawamura-kun. I'll go find her first."

Seeing that Shiki seemed to want to ask her something, Nagisa Furukawa immediately thanked Eriri like a vigilant little animal and then ran away quickly. It seemed that she was in very good health recently and did not look sick at all.

"Okay, clean up the backstage and let's go to the audience."

Eriri patted Shiki's back, who seemed to feel something was wrong. She seemed to want to pat her shoulder, but couldn't reach it. "After all, you still have to apologize to Ms. Yukinoshita, right?"

"Haven't I already been too humble? And anyway, I helped her..." Si Ji frowned.

But the girl with golden hair and twin ponytails put her hands on her hips and said seriously: "Didn't she also say that? 'One thing is one thing'!"

Although he still felt a little bit unable to let it go, Si Ji didn't care about the verbal win or loss. Even if he was forced to apologize by the other party with some unreasonable or even excessive demands, he could make the other party perform super double the shame play in Qiu Lingwenping mode to make it pay back.

The show on stage is coming to an end.

Although it's a bit unfair to Nagisa Furukawa, the finale performance at the Toyoin Festival Hall was not "Happy Feathers", but a large ensemble of the symphony orchestra. After all, even the scale is different, and forcing Nagisa Furukawa to be the finale would only make people laugh.

After the symphony orchestra finished its performance, only two or three kittens were left.

Perhaps they felt that the performance was about to end, or perhaps they simply didn't like this kind of garbage time show, the audience left one after another, and many empty seats appeared in the originally full auditorium.

Shiki found Yukinoshita Yukino in the second to last row.

It wasn't just her sitting there. There was also the student council president Amakusa Shino who was looking at her with interest, the vice president Kagamigawa Chloe who she had rarely met, and some other members of the student council.

In addition, Shiki also found members of the art club not far away. Nanami Aoyama was also sitting there with Mashiro Shiina, who seemed to be about to fall asleep.

"This way."

Yukinoshita Yukino waved to Shiki and gestured to the empty seat next to her. She seemed to still be angry about what happened just now and had a cold face the whole time.

Eriri, who came here with Shiki, ran to the art club.

"What is going on?" Shiki leaned close to Yukino's ear and whispered.

Yukino, who was not used to such an intimate conversation, tilted her head uncomfortably and distanced herself from Shiki. "You'll know soon enough."

Si Ji sat in his seat in confusion.

At this time, the last show on the stage was almost coming to an end. The students bowed to the audience and returned to the backstage amid sparse applause.

The heavy curtain fell once again, covering the stage.

Just when Si Ji was wondering why this was necessary, a cheerful piece of music started to play over the speakers.

[Like a moody wild cat, with a mischievous look~]

It can be heard that the recording of this music is a bit rough, and it does not seem to have been recorded in a professional recording studio, but Si Ji's musical skills did not make him feel disgusted by this. Instead, he could feel the excitement and joy of the other party when playing from the music.

[My only advantage is my innocence, an ordinary dream chaser~]

The curtain opened again, but this time the stage was empty. Instead, what should have been the background was filled with layers of curtains.

On it, characters and pictures are painted with brushstrokes that are familiar to the four seasons.

[An incredible encounter is a wonderful starting line~]

Those scenes were so familiar that Shiki immediately understood what they were: those were the students running around for the Toyotsu Festival, preparing for their own festival.

[We'll talk later, just move forward with passion~]

As the curtains fell off one by one, the picture began to focus from the students to more specific characters.

[Each of you collect the dreams that are throbbing in your heart ~ Start the huge engine called bond ~]

The images of the students who had performed before appeared on the screen one by one.

Even though the characters are drawn with relatively simple strokes, the characteristics of the characters are captured so that audiences who have seen previous performances can tell who they are.

In addition, there were various staff members who helped set up the stalls.

[Start running now, towards the roadless front! ]

Next are the characters who did not appear.

For example, all the members of the art club who were surrounding 'Fuyuo Kishihisa' - it was not until this time that Shiki finally realized why the brushstrokes on these screens were so familiar.

Isn't this just someone else imitating my own style of painting? It's just that the difference in painting skills is so great that I couldn't see it at first.

【As long as we lean on each other's backs, we can be fearless. 】

On the screen, the student council president Amakusa Shino is instructing the student council members on what to do.

Vice President Kagamikawa Chloe smiled bitterly beside her.

[Whoever stops will come forward to help. 】

On the screen, Yukinoshita Yukino seems to be running for something.

[Even though we have never met, our hearts are together, my friend]

The last one to appear was Si Ji, who had a strange smile on his face and seemed to be thinking about something.

When all the curtains were recycled, there was only one sentence left on the background.

——'I pay tribute to everyone who worked hard for the festival'

Obviously, this was done without his knowledge, to honor the heroes behind the Toyoin Festival. It was the real 'final performance'. Apart from him, Yukinoshita Yukino and Amakusa Shino seemed to have been tricked into coming here, and they were also looking at the stage with stunned but gentle expressions.

"You actually came up with this trick..."

Si Ji couldn't help but mutter to himself, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

The radio just in time announced that the Fengyin Festival was about to close.

The broadcast was repeated several times in succession. The general content was that all stalls would stop selling goods in half an hour, security guards would maintain order, and it was hoped that tourists would be able to leave Toyosaki Academy in an orderly manner.

The Fengyin Festival came to a successful conclusion.

Chapter 237 Peace is the Most Important

“This event has received very good reviews.”

In the office of the dean of Fengzhiqi Private Academy, the kind-looking old man looked at the girl in front of him and said in a friendly manner: "The board of directors is considering making this event a fixed feature of our Fengzhiqi."

"Thank you for your kindness, Dean. However, if we want the Fengyin Festival to become a traditional event in the academy, I'm afraid it won't be that easy..."

Toyonosaki's student council president, Amakusa Shino, said loudly.

"If you're talking about the budget, then you don't have to worry about it." The wealthy dean shook his head and said, "The school can help solve the budget problem."

"No, it's not just the budget, there are more serious, or fundamental problems--" Amakusa Shino shook her head and said in a serious voice.

This is not an exaggeration. The reason why the Toyoin Festival was so successful this time was not only because someone brought in a large sum of sponsorship and had no shortage of money from beginning to end, but also because of other external support from FULLDRIVE Bunko and Fuzuigawa Bunko. Otherwise, the students of Toyoinozaki alone could not support the operation of so many stalls.

But light novels are not comics or doujinshi after all, and their audience is relatively limited. An event on the scale of a school festival can only produce so much benefit. Although the first Fengong Festival is definitely beneficial for promoting the works of the two libraries, if the same-scale promotional activities are carried out every year, the effect will definitely deteriorate year by year.

Another reason why the Toyosaki Festival can be a success is the almost spontaneous help and enthusiastic participation from the students of Toyosaki.

But this enthusiasm mostly comes from the sense of novelty. If this event is held once a year, students will feel aesthetic fatigue and will no longer be likely to participate enthusiastically. In the end, it will probably become an event no different from a school festival.

"That's right, that means students will become sexually apathetic!"

Amakusa Shino said in a shocked voice.

"…Um, President Amakusa, I think there was something wrong with my ears just now. I was hallucinating." The elderly man picked his ears and said, "Can you say it again?"

"Students will become indifferent to the Toyoin Festival out of habit," said Amakusa Shino.

The dean smacked his lips, thinking that he must have heard it wrong.

After all, Amakusa Shino is handsome, has excellent grades, and is a student council president who is highly respected by students. How could she possibly say such vulgar words?

"Then we can extend the interval between holding this event to once every two years, or once every three years." The dean suggested, "This way, we can keep the students fresh about this event, right?"

"But……"

"Besides, President Amakusa's response to the power outage in the entire school was very timely and correct this time, and it did not cause any adverse effects. I have confidence in you. Just plan your own plan."
