A cultural festival finally came.

I wake up, as usual. The current time is five o'clock in the morning. Already this school is quite excited about the day of the festival.

The day before has also been decorated and even the main entrance has been heavily decorated. On the road leading from the main entrance to the school building, stalls are already available and ready.

"Phew... nice weather today"

I wasn't running today, I was walking alone.

I was purely interested. This is my first time attending every festival. I know it as knowledge by reading a book, but I can't help but jump to heart because it's the first time I experience it.

Preparation in class. Plus, I'm ready for the student council.

I did everything I could. You can tell me you did everything you could.

And it was nature and that place I was headed to. As this festival progresses through the school, it's the little garden I created the first semester that I arrived in.

Today is the day of duty to give water, so it depends on what you do. Store the water in the rain dew that I brought from the room and give it to the flowers. The droplets are beautifully reflected and illuminated in conjunction with the morning sun.

But that morning sun is no longer as strong as summer.

Should it also be called a gentle light, characteristic of autumn? And when I'm done watering, I think I still have time to sit on the bench in front of me, and I take out my own sandwich.

Why not? I wanted to grab breakfast here today.

"Mr. Ray...... why are you here?

"Senior Rebecca"

When I looked on the right hand side, Senior Rebecca stood there. The look on his face as if he had seen even something incredible. That was the same for me.

Because by chance I didn't even think of meeting a senior at this time or anything like that. Wake up in the morning and act somehow.

I really should say this is even a coincidence.

But at the same time, I recall having lunch here often with Senior Rebecca. Maybe he was thinking unconsciously.

Senior Rebecca said he might come here.

"You are. I thought I'd get some breakfast while I was on watering duty."

"Huh...? Wasn't today my day?

Seniors who will look pokant. But if I remember correctly, I should be on duty today.

"In your words. I'm sure it's my day."

"... well, is that right? I'm sorry. I think I made a mistake."

I apologize so, busily touching my hair. Of course I don't blame it.

"Why don't seniors sit down, too?

"Right. Because I broke a corner. Excuse me."

As I sit next to me, the scent of fuzz and citrus runs through my nostrils. Perhaps that is the fragrance used by seniors. It smells so good.

Also, the bench I'm sitting on is just for two, so the distance is close. That's about as touchy as my shoulders are going to be.

And I decided to give my sandwich to the senior next door. I can't help it if I'm eating alone.

"We haven't had breakfast yet, have we?

"Yes."

"Here, then."

"What's this?

"It's a sandwich. I've made it."

A sandwich with lettuce and cheese and even scrambled eggs. Besides, the bread surface is cooked to a crisp degree, so I'm sure you'll like it.

"... is it handmade by Mr. Ray"

"Did you not like it?

"Eh! Well, you'll have it."

The gaze intersects. And a broken senior.

There was no shade there, a beautiful smile as usual. But I couldn't do it. After what happened with Maria, I'm pretty sure Senior Rebecca has something.

Seniors who keep hiding that. If you misstep the time to step in, if you make a mistake, it's all over.

That's why I kept carefully measuring my distance from my senior. And I can get some more information from Carla. It will be from then on that we take action.

"... ugh! It's delicious!

"Hehe. Because that's one of the dishes I'm good at. Even so, it's too simple to say cooking."

"No. I think it's great enough, right?

"I'm afraid."

The two of us line up and cheek the sandwich in the morning sun. It reminds me of my days with seniors.

At first, it was true that Senior Rebecca was sitting and eating alone. And they had the same fruit sandwich on their cheeks together.

Then nearly six months pass and we spend the same time together again in the same place. Spending time with Senior Rebecca was very calm and comfortable.

"Cultural Festival"

Senior Rebecca leaked her voice. That was closer to talking to myself than saying you spoke to me.

"Hopefully it will be something fun"

"I'm sure it will. This is my first year, so I look forward to it."

"Hehe. Really? Then we must be absolutely successful."

"Ha!"

Cultural Festival. I definitely want it to succeed. We all worked together and did everything in our class. I'm sure it's finished to your satisfaction.

"My class will do made-to-measure coffee, so definitely come"

"You're leaving like that, aren't you?

"Yes, just an hour a day, but you're supposed to leave like that"

Rumor has it that I'm leaving already.

That's what I do intentionally. Amelia said it would definitely be effective in attracting customers. Her calories are unusual. I'm sure you sincerely want to enjoy this cultural festival.

"Mr. Ray's womenswear is no longer in the realm of art. I'm looking forward to it, too, aren't I?

Senior Rebecca wipes her hands with a handkerchief after finishing a sandwich, tapping lightly.

And a grin somewhere niggling, unlike the usual gentle grin. I've seen a lot of seniors' expressions, too, and I'm just a little soaked in sentiment.

"Thank you. And Maria looks forward to it."

"Maria......?

"Actually..."

I told Senior Rebecca about the Magics Chevalier.

Then you convinced me, "Oh... I see. Was it," he leaked.

"Maria asked me before this what was going on with your sister Lily...... you did. Fortunately, I left it alone."

"I wish Maria could see the fold one day and say one day..."

"Lily, is that your sister? Even though my real sister is me...... hehe. Really, Mr. Ray's an interesting guy."

Leaks couscous and voice.

I felt sorry for myself somewhere. That's because I already know Maria and Senior Rebecca's obsession.

Maria feels inferior to Senior Rebecca. That makes me wonder if it has anything to do with her admiring your sister Lily.

"Nevertheless, when did you get along with Maria?

The gaze crosses again.

Behind those eyes, I don't know what you're thinking.

"... it's hard to say when, strictly. Is Maria here lately?"

"Really? That kid hates men hair..."

"Really?

Seniors take their eyes off me and turn to the front. And look away somewhere.

"Yes, about that look, with all the things that have happened in the past"

"... I see"

"But you're forgiving Mr. Ray your heart. Good. She seems to have a wide range of friends."

"I seem to feel comfortable with Maria myself. We're getting along."

Senior Rebecca gets up and then flips. The skirt floats fuzzy, and that falls according to gravity.

Moment after moment, the wind blew.

Glossy brunette of a feisty senior. Without suppressing that, seniors try to peek into my eyes and stare sharply at me.

"Thank you for Maria."

"Seniors..."

"I'm engaged. My older brother will inherit the house, so I'll be in the shape of an exit, right? So I'm sure you'll spend more days with Maria. Besides, she doesn't seem to like me. So, Mr. Ray. Regards about Maria. He's a little bumpy and has a bad mouth, but the roots are good kids. She's a very sweet girl."

"Yes, but Senior Rebecca..."

"I'm good. So keep up the good work with her."

Return the heel.

When the senior gives a gentle thank you, he leaves the scene intact.

Why not? Why not?

Why would you say that with a sad look on your face? What the hell is there?

Left alone on the spot, how can I see Senior Rebecca and Senior Now overlapping at the end of that summer?

And finally, the cultural festival began.
