Some times seem to be waiting for a whole century away, but the teenagers who are waiting there can't go back to the past like everyone else.

The forgotten emotion, and the silence that wakes up after something, make one feel the silence that slowly seeps in.

The Kanagawa Festival, a large-scale summer festival in Gakuen City, which will soon be held, is one of the three major festivals in the city of science and technology, and is the only event that takes place during the summer vacation, and almost all school clubs are preparing for the summer festival on their own.

Unlike the "Daiba Star Festival", a superpower competition with global ratings far exceeding that of the World Cup, and the "One End Viewing Festival", a cultural festival that opens up advanced technology exhibitions that have been ahead of the outside world for 20 or 30 years, the "Kanagawa Festival" has a more independent and stable status than the former.

If you put it in a nutshell...... While the first two festivals are held in the autumn and winter when the upper echelons are subjectively controlled, it can be said that the participation of all teachers and students is somewhat coercive, while the Kanagawa Festival is entirely self-directed by the students.

Because of this, the time of the festival is divided into seven days from August 1 to August 7 during the summer vacation, and because it is the summer vacation, the teachers will hardly interfere with the various summer festivals that students think of as children, and at most they will act as consultants or agents to obtain some funds for them to hold events or act as IOUs, which means that the "Kanagawa Festival", which has a seven-day period, is exactly the period when students can hold whatever activities they want, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "Seven Days of Freedom".

Even as Shotaro Oriki, a gray boy who has little interest in school club activities in "Ice Candy", said, "If you don't do what you can, don't do it, and keep everything simple if you have to do it"—this kind of thing is okay, if you don't want to hold a common event like a "maid café" or a "Chinese restaurant", you can put the table together, and then bring pillows and futons, and the setting of changing the class to a "lounge" will not be considered wrong, because every time " The lounge was overcrowded, with people sleeping under a quilt on pillows at almost every long table, and even sleeping from morning to evening, and then returning home at night and playing all night on the phone.

Just like the game department will launch a new game that has never been there before for passers-by to try out the performance, and the film department will shoot a horror mystery movie in the abandoned teacher's apartment to leave the answer to the puzzle for the audience, and the light research department where a teenager works also needs to write an excellent light novel to sell, just like the doujinshi release day of a well-known anime.

And what the boy did was-

The summer club preparation activity jointly organized by the three otaku clubs of [a certain high school] because of a difference of opinion officially kicked off last night.

However, due to the injuries of the main personnel and the fact that the so-called "laurel crown" bento did not appear in the "scramble", it became unsuccessful.

So after agreeing on the necessary things, the young man found the real key.

In the center, the girl—

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The black-haired and black-eyed teenager Hiroshi Saito is still standing at the door of [a certain high school] after an unknown amount of time.

It was the place he had agreed with a young girl.

（...... So the next question is whether the previous article accepts or not, right?)

Then try to assume that if the child is willing to come, he will definitely help himself.

It would have been a great pleasure if it could have been realized, right?

But......

But......

"Will it go this way?" - he had thought about it.

The boy fell into deep thought slightly, his face, which was not very handsome, turned orange in the sinking of the sunset.

(Boys waiting for girls or something...... Hmmm, no matter how you think about it, it's like dating, isn't it?)

——dei...... It turned out that he had in mind something like this.

But it seemed that the boy was really thinking about it, so he lowered his head and looked at himself:

Wearing a light-colored summer shirt and thin trousers, and a pair of Nike shoes that are easy to exercise, he looks like a fairly ordinary boy who is difficult to distinguish as soon as he walks into the crowd.

(It's a bit ordinary, though...... However, it is possible to play an unexpected winning goal. ）

Huh?

Why don't you wear the summer uniform of [a certain high school]?

In fact, he is not like a hedgehog-headed teenager who uses the banner of "school uniforms can be worn safe and sound during the holidays", and often wears the summer uniform of a certain high school during the summer vacation, in fact, he feels that the style of the clothing is very unsuitable for him.

Although the school requires that he wear a uniform during class, the boy always finds all sorts of excuses to subtly distract the teachers.

For example, "The school uniform was accidentally thrown into the trash can by the student on duty, and now I must fight against fate before the packed garbage is thrown into the incinerator", "Today I have a horse drunk wood cold, if I wear the school uniform again, it will bring bad luck to others because I can't recover, and even give me the title of 'Grim Reaper'." 」...... Hmm.

Look, look, look,

It's for one reason or another that this teenager has completely become the kind of "bad boy with a headache" who is often used as a negative teaching material in the eyes of the teachers, and his academic performance is not very good, so this afternoon he made an appointment with the white-haired girl, ignoring the right arm that was still in the state of "mummy" because of the "battle" in the half-price lunch area of the Utopia supermarket last night, and returned to [a certain high school] before the girl's working hours ended For this reason, he was lucky enough to catch up with the tutoring time in math class, and the boy felt quite proud of this.

Oh, wouldn't that make the nose longer?

Hoohaha,

Saito Hiroshi doesn't care about such an unreasonable thing, but he has the nickname of the three-dimensional version of "Muscle Detective", can anything that is not scientific or conceptual still have an impact on such an existence? Just as the vision seen by the prophet Ezekiel is recorded in the Book of Ezekiel, Saito's so-called existence comparable to Abe Takawa is also self-evidently thought by his classmates - it's strange!!

(I don't admit it!, if I just love to joke, I can still laugh, but if I get serious, it will completely become an unorientable Klein bottle!!)

- Ah......

This teenager is actually quite resistant.

As a second-year student in [a high school] and an assistant to the minister of the Light Research Department, Saito Hiroshi and many classmates in the department ...... Ahhh

"Kanagawa Festival" The event is coming soon.,But Saito they still can't find anything worth showing.,Go open your brain and use your brain to think about it.,It's also a department where otaku gather.,If you want to make a short anime in the anime department, you can go to the game department to help you make the voice of each character who should have a famous voice for electronic dubbing.,And then it's good to have a free release in the school.,Just like the movie department.,In the case of the cos department, you only need to start a cos exhibition on the day of the festival.,Although it's just a matter of putting on the clothes of anime characters and putting on makeup.,But it attracts a lot of people every year. ,This is also a highlight of the "Kanagawa Festival".,After all, the school city is not Akihabara.,It's a good opportunity to have such an opportunity.。

But you see, what is the Light Research Department going to do?

What does Saito's department do to attract the attention of the audience?

This is a problem that their department has encountered almost every year.

The head of the light research department is a third-year senior.,Although she has an excellent writing hand.,The story is also very interesting.,But it's rarely paid attention to because of the relationship between not submitting to the newcomer award contest.,But even so, the girl still smiled and said to Sato, who is an assistant, "Ah-ah-ah, it's a pity that not many people watched it this time", "I really want to continue writing, light novels exist because of this."

That's why Saito had a mind that he would never retreat, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he was actually "faith", and he was such a person.

So let's get down to business, what can the Light Research Department do?

Or the minister's light novel is really good.,But if it's a light novel, there's at least one volume.,Will there be people who obediently stand in place and read the novel.、Or just a few people who don't know if it's good or not?

"I'm not a famous author myself", "How much does it mean to just be an ordinary student's work", "I still like famous works more than newcomers"——

That's what people think.

So in the minister's two previous festivals, only a handful of spontaneously printed light novels were sold at each time.

(That's why Abe said that the activities of the Kakukenbu are the most boring of the Kanagawa festivals...... Is it?)

Saito Hiroshi showed a slightly lonely expression, he is not someone who often shows this kind of expression.

- "Minister's Words...... Actually, I don't want to hear her say that again. 」

Maybe even she didn't know that at that time, when she said those words-

Why tears?

Why turn your head around?

Why should you be so sad and say comforting words?

Is it just because the light novels I wrote didn't sell much, or is it because ...... And what?

Hiroshi Saito knew that he couldn't write a novel that would make the light research department more attractive.,Last year, on the eve of the "Kanagawa Festival",He stayed up all night writing a light novel "What do you think about my sister becoming a teacher at work?" and was complained about.,Especially what the guy from Abe said, "If this kind of novel can really sell, even I can write a book that sells more than 10 million copies in the Dengeki Bunko Garuhahahahaha

Okay, Saito admits that his writing is really bad.,But that's just him.,The minister's senpai-senpai should be very popular even if it's moved to the deneki library.,But just because he didn't get the newcomer award, he treats it differently and even treats it the same as the bad work he wrote, which is really bad, right?

(It has to change.) ）

The boy thought so, and he looked at his watch again, a long time after the last one.

(That's the way it goes...... If there's really no way, if that kid really won't accept it, then -)

I don't know when there were more people on the street in front of me, maybe it was because it had just rained this afternoon, so the weather was cool, and the students asked their friends to come out to play, right?

At the school gate of a certain high school, there were more people passing by.

However, the boy's eyes were a little lowered.

(Then you can only go up alone.) ）

“......”

Saito licked his slightly dry lips subconsciously and whistled:

"Haha, what am I expecting, even if I don't want to help, it's reasonable, right? It's completely useless to be a fool, you idiot!"

He laughed twice, but never again.

The teenager, who had been waiting here for nearly two hours, put up his pocket and walked in the direction of home.

What was it like at that time?

The boy recalled it after a long time, and his memory was already a little hazy.

The only thing he remembers is that the steps he took, the streets full of pedestrians, the setting sun that was about to set—

Also, the figure of a beautiful girl standing on the street walking towards him step by step.

Is it because the afterglow of the setting sun is beginning to blur? Or the distance itself can already be described by the word "other side".

It was as if I had seen a whole light year, as if time had waited for a whole century away, and a beautiful girl with silver and white hair walked towards the boy.

Hmm, it turns out that Hiroshi Sato likes Narcissus, and he suddenly figured out that the boy who has a dimensional wall separation from this world has already liked that girl when he first saw that girl in the half-price area of the 'Oil God' supermarket, right?

Just like the scene of meeting now.

The young man smiled slightly, looked at the girl who was getting closer and closer, and whispered:

- SenYarizui Senpai

Just like the scene when I first met at that time.

On the other side of the sunset, the fiery clouds gradually dimmed, and the silence was like the world in the street that had just woken up after a deep sleep, and the girl beckoned to him, and her red and blue eyes seemed to look at her friends in the distance.

“...... ，......”

What she said is no longer remembered by the young man today, or perhaps it did not reach his ears at the time.

But he deeply felt the feeling he was looking forward to.

and, the beating sound that gradually became clearer.
