It seems that it was through the mediation of Miura Yuiko that Yui-san was able to take a leave of absence at the final performance and was able to wholeheartedly participate in the final training of Yono's band under the snow. For this small circle of Class 2 F who belong to the top current charge, the members within them naturally support Yui Yuihama.

Although it is said that some boys split in favor of Yui Hihama or Ichishiyu, this controversy disappeared with a wave of Hayama's big hand. Although I've been particularly fond of conspiracy theories lately, I've always felt that Hayato was courting me in his own way, but at least the results are good, so I don't have to worry too much about that.

Of course, since my sister is not there, I don't have any reason to stay in Group F for 2 years after the performance, and as for a gloomy senior who meets a few words to me, there is no need to bother to communicate with him.

The problem, however, was that as I strode out of the classroom, I was also left under the snow.

- It's rude to leave without saying hello.

"So, where are you going next?" asked under the snow, seemingly naturally—even giving the illusion that the two of us were visiting a cultural festival together.

"Uh, I'm going to go back to my class first, and see if I can find someone to hang out with me in the afternoon-"

Seeing that under the snow raised an eyebrow, I swallowed the second half of the sentence.

I mean, if I need to help check the display of the various classes on the first day of the festival, I'll be happy to accompany you. ”

"There won't be any mess on the first day, after all, it's an event inside the school, the problem is that on the second day and the extended third day, the second day will be open to people outside the school, and on the third day there will be a joint cultural festival performance between the two schools, so it should be checked, and the focus should be on the last two days. ”

I'm starting to understand what it means to be under the snow.

"Then I'll go back to the classroom alone?"

"But it's not a big deal to check in advance, probably. ”

He shook his hair under the snow and walked forward first.

Okay, let's just understand what I just said as a characteristic tsundere under the snow, right?

-------------------------------------- dividing line-----------------------------------------

Even though it was an inspection, I was still quite embarrassed when I stood at the door of Group F of the year with Xuexia - first checking my class, can this really be said to be malicious under the snow?

"Is your class project a haunted house?" asked thoughtfully, looking at the well-furnished classroom.

"Please don't look like you're not aware of the situation, but I applied to you about this in the first place. ”

"Well, I seem to have the impression that there is any special reason for asking me to help your class take down the haunted house?"

"There is no special reason to fulfill the election manifesto of the executive committee. ”

"Hmm. ”

"So, do you want to check?"

"Check?ahh Xue Xia nodded, as if at a loss.

Yamato's classmate, who was checking the ticket, watched me and Yukishita walk into the classroom with a dull expression on his face - I don't know if he was thinking, "Yubihama really has a good relationship with the chairman!" or "What is the relationship between Yubihama and Yukishita-senpai?", and by the way, I hope it is the latter.

Judging by the hesitation at the classroom door just now, she was clearly not a girl who didn't have a heart for similar scenes - though, given the level of haunted houses prepared by the students, I didn't have to worry about certain situations happening.

Student's haunted house is generally used to create a confused gap with more exaggerated makeup and light and shadow effects, or to use the sudden fright in the corner to cause a visual impact on people, but the sound element that can generally mobilize people's fear atmosphere is too difficult for a student-style haunted house - if you don't turn on the sound when watching a horror movie, the effect will be doubled. At the same time, due to the limited space of the classroom, it does not take a long time to play in the haunted house for students, which further reduces the significance of the existence of the haunted house.

So, in fact, although the haunted house in the cultural festival is popular, it is not too reliable to become a well-received class showcase, and if I had to set the show for class F for a year, I would never have used this thankless project - but for the average student, they don't care much about the input-output ratio, and there is no need to worry too much about this.

All in all, for rationalists, analyzing these routines clearly, the horror index of haunted houses has dropped by half.

"Yubihama, did you participate in the preparation of the haunted house in the class?" asked under the snow, walking in front of me, whispering.

"No, I should say that all my time is spent on doing my best for the chairman of the committee?"

"Then you don't know where there will be a mechanism, right?" sounded a slightly disappointed tone.

"If we knew in advance where there was an organ, there would be no point in inspection, right? Isn't the so-called inspection the most valuable thing to evaluate by experiencing it firsthand?"

"That's what I said—" said under the snow, with some hesitation.

Then, in front of her, a "ghost" draped in a white cloth suddenly stood up.

In that moment, Yukino quickly showed her good reflexes, and almost by the same time I realized what was happening, she had completed the transition from standing in front of me to standing side by side with me while pinching my fingers hard—yes, not the whole hand, but just one of my index fingers.

What is commendable is that during the whole process, she did not make a single sound.

When I nodded to the "ghost" and signaled, "You can't scare us anymore," the voice under the snow rang softly: "Indeed, from the point of view of actual experience, it is best not to know the information beforehand. ”

That being said, after that, under the snow never came in front of me again.

However, as previously analyzed, if the haunted house set up by the students themselves excludes the accidentality, then only the "horror" attribute can scare people. After all, there are no professional makeup artists among the students of Zongwu High School, and even if they really want to make up a scary enough face, they often can't be satisfied.

It stands to reason that the haunted house should be frightening the farther back it is, but in the end, after the initial routine fails, the result is that the road is smooth.

The reverie of hugging my arms or leaning close to me didn't happen, and although we kept a close distance from me under the snow, the closest contact between the two of us was the small index finger I was pinched by her at the beginning.

"In terms of effect, you can't give Yubihama a high score for your haunted house!" After coming out of the haunted house, with a face much paler than usual, he gave such a merciless evaluation under the snow.

"After all, it's a haunted house for students, don't you be too demanding, don't you be too demanding? According to this reason, my evaluation of Yeshan's drama just now is not very high!"

"Well, considering you scared me at least once—" Snow continued, emphasizing "once," "that would at least have the most basic effect, but for off-campus visitors, it's still a bit of a mediocre one, and you have to agree with that, don't you?"

Unable to refute. I shrugged.

"Looks like you're not paying any attention to your own class's show?"

"Didn't you say that my limited time was devoted to serving under the snow?"

"Dismissal - I don't see how much you've helped me. ”

Xue Xia pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes narrowed slightly—this somewhat casual smile must have been the most relaxed expression she'd shown in a long time, right?

This is the ideal world in which all human beings have attained, an ideal world in which all human beings have attained without their problems.

However, there will also be those who reject this ideal state.

For example, the girl who came to me and finally chose to reject me.

------------------------------------------ dividing line-----------------------------------------

The reason why I respect Isshiki's choice to break with me at that time is because I have full confidence in myself and in her. I chose the right path, of course, Isshiki could choose to be alone for her own future, but when she finally came to her senses, she would understand that there was only one path she could choose.

So, I'm surprised enough that Isshiki has been able to hold out for so long. Especially, when this ironic situation arises: she, who should have been the most active of the three, now has the most embarrassing expression, and under the snow, which should be the coldest of the three, is now shrouded in a soft color.

"Under the snow, senior, um, and Kazuya?" If it was before, Isseki might have joked with interest, but now, she was just a little stunned, but she greeted very calmly.

"Isshiki-san—Ah, you're in the same class as Yubihama, and I didn't realize it before. ”

"Probably because Kazuya is too mature, right?" said Ichishiki with a wry smile.

"Part of it, it should be this reason. ”

Then, the atmosphere fell silent.

They should have gone their separate ways immediately after a simple hello, but for various reasons, everyone felt that they should say something more.

From the original support position of Isshiki to withdraw, and now to the "supporters" under the snow, meeting each other in this situation does have a feeling of discomfort like an ex-girlfriend seeing a current girlfriend. I'm sure the two girls present will have similar thoughts.

"Isshiki-san, how prepared for your speech at the closing ceremony of the cultural festival?" After a long time, Xue Xia asked a meaningless question.

"It should be no problem, don't worry about the seniors under the snow. ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you then. ”

"Okay. ”

"Then take your leave?"

"Well, it's okay, the seniors under the snow should be quite busy, right?"

In the end, communication has become a painless embellishment.

I still can't communicate with Isshiki - I don't know what Ichishiki was thinking, but I find that I'm even farther away from knowing what she really thinks.

"Ichisshik-san, I was just alone!" said Ishisi thoughtfully and softly after Ishisi left.

"yes, it's hard to imagine that guy is going to be alone!"

"It's a terrible state to be alone, isn't it?"

"It's hard to imagine that this is what the senior under the snow said before that he claimed to do all the work alone!" I quipped.

However, it was not the cold rebuttal under the snow that I had expected.

He turned his head under the snow, and his blue pupils stared at me blankly.

"Uh, under the snow—"

"-Yubihama, I think you misunderstood what I meant," then, with a quick turn of face under the snow, "I mean, it would be terrible to go to a haunted house alone. ”

"Ah, yes, if you go to a haunted house alone. ”

I repeated what I was saying under the snow, but I could realize that it wasn't what she really thought.

If a person who is fully confident in herself does not first think about solving problems alone, then how much pride and self-confidence is left of her?

Well, it's been two hours and it's been a mediocre quality, but let's make do - all in all, enjoy the calm before the explosion!
