Walking out of the Qianqi house, the two of them wandered around again.

After a while, they walked into a handicraft shop with a variety of materials, not only weaving scarves and towels, but also handmade dolls.

The reason for coming here was that Shiraishi said that she wanted to knit a scarf.

It's almost October, and the weather will start to cool down after mid-October, so she wants to practice ahead of time.

"Hello, what kind of thread is suitable for knitting a scarf?"

Chiren Shiraishi asks the clerk about the first time she has come to buy wool for the purpose of knitting a scarf for someone.

"I recommend Hamanaka twine, it's a soft material that doesn't make it tiring to weave."

With a pleasant smile, the clerk led the two to the side of the store and introduced the various colored yarns on the shelves.

Shiraishi Chiren looked at the colorful wool and asked, "Izumi, what color do you want?" ”

"Hmm...... Black would be fine, right? As much as I love white, white is too easy to get dirty. ”

Shiraishi Qianren nodded and said to the clerk, "Well, then please bring me twenty bundles of black ones." ”

"Okay, you two wait a minute, put it up right away."

As he spoke, the clerk took out a brown leather bag from the counter and filled twenty-one bundles of black wool.

"Give one more bundle, this is a gift for two of them."

These were the exact words of the clerk, and Izumi Kurose didn't react much to this, but he was used to it.

Along the way, I don't know how many stores praise their love and suitability!

The moment you finish the bill and walk out of the shop, the shopping trip comes to an end.

Facing the reddish sunset, the two took a step towards Ginza Station and boarded the train to Chiyoda.

"I'm really satisfied with shopping today."

"yes, yes."

In the back seats, the two snuggled up to each other, feeling the warmth that belonged to each other.

The tram runs on the tracks, swaying slightly from time to time.

When the train arrived, they bought the ingredients for dinner at the supermarket in Jimbocho and went home.

Evenings are spent cooking, bathing, and being eaten.

——

October 1st, the anniversary of the school.

When I came to Mingsheng High School, a huge banner had been pulled up at the entrance of the school, which read

Izumi Kurose went to the research department first and put away the housekeeper's clothes.

He then walked back to his classroom, intending to wait until half-past eight to attend the opening ceremony in the gymnasium.

At that time, the campus festival will officially begin.

"Yo, good morning, Izumi."

Hirasawa sat down on a chair and waved at him half-sideways, saying hello.

"Good morning, Matake."

Izumi Kurose nodded to him, then looked left and right.

He found that his hometown was gone!

In the back row, by the window, there were four combined desks covered with a pink cloth.

So, he reluctantly came to Pingzawa Masatake and sat down, where there happened to be a vacant seat.

By the way, Shiraishi Chiren was called by Megumi Furumi.

After all, she is the class leader, and she also has some corresponding things to deal with.

"Haha, I'm going to come and drink your coffee in the afternoon!" Matake Hirasawa smiled heartily and stretched out his hand to hook Izumi Kurose's neck.

In his other hand, there was a pamphlet with the words "School Festival Activity Booklet".

This costs 100 yen.

"Are you disgusting? It's okay if a woman comes to drink, don't you think it's strange that a man comes to drink? ”

Izumi Kurose gave him a disdainful look, then moved her chair and quietly distanced herself from him.

"Can't men drink it? Who prescribes?! ”

"I stipulated, if you come to drink mine, I will poison you."

"Is this love and hatred? My spring has become sick, too! ”

Hirasawa Matake suddenly howled, his face extremely pompous, as if it was really like that.

“…… Are you a nanketone? ”

"Nanketone? What do you mean? ”

"It's not interesting. Show me the manual. Izumi Kurose shook her head and gestured to the activity book.

He wanted to see what interesting programs there were, so he could go with Shiraishi Chiren to see them.

"Oh, here you go. But you're really good, and there's a plan for the Research Department. ”

"Do you want to buy a plate? It's not expensive, 1,000 yen. ”

Izumi Kurose flipped through the activity booklet and saw a lot of interesting programs.

Not to mention the various musical instrument performances, there are also stage plays, house dances, and even homemade movie screenings!

"It's amazing, what a light part, a wind part......

He looked at the instrumental performance program and said to himself.

Turning to the next page, there are two stage plays at 10 o'clock, namely "Romeo and Juliet" and "Nam Peel Festival".

Romeo and Juliet, he knew it, but as for the raw stripping, the impression was a bit ambiguous.

'It seems to be a traditional custom of the Lantern Festival in Akita Prefecture, right......? ’

He wasn't sure where he had seen such a show.

"Well, let's buy ten plates to support it."

Matake Hirasawa nodded, put his hand in his pocket, and took out a Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"It's useless to give it to me, when the opening ceremony is over, come to the Research Department to buy it, you know the location." Kurose said without raising his head, not taking the money he handed over.

"Okay, I'll go with you then, and then I'll go shopping with Jia."

"Now charged to Sine."

"Damn, you kid still have the face to say this?!"

After that, they chatted endlessly, and did not stop until it was nearly half-past eight.

When I arrived at the gymnasium, a banner was also raised above the stage, and the president of the student council calmly met the eyes of thousands of students, standing upright.

Kyosuke Kawasaki inspected the audience back and forth, and slowly said, "Hello everyone, I am the current student council president, Kyosuke Kawasaki ......"

He was awe-inspiring, his tone was light but not magnetic, and his body unconsciously exuded the aura of a leader.

'Awesome......

Izumi Kurose stood silently in a corner, looking at the person on the stage who was staring ahead and talking in amazement.

He admired Kyosuke Kawasaki for not even having to read the rhetoric, and he always maintained a calm and unhurried attitude to give a speech.

This requires not only extraordinary memory, but also a strong psyche.

“…… These are some of my testimonials. ”

"Finally, I would like to announce that the Shadow Hill Campus Festival has officially begun! Have fun! ”

Kyosuke Kawasaki said, bowed, and turned to retreat into the background.

The audience also burst into thunderous applause at the right time, and everyone present was rendered by his speech and their mood was surging.

"Let's go, let's go to the Research Department."

In bursts of long-lasting applause, Izumi Kurose whispered to Matake Hirazawa beside him.

Then, they turned around and left the gymnasium and headed towards the club building.

Walking on the road, Izumi Kurose glanced at him and said lightly: "If you have nothing to do, how about helping me distribute flyers later?" ”

"Why do you think I'm fine? I actually have something to do. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Of course I'm going shopping with Jia!"

“…… Also. ”

The two fought and made trouble, stepped on layers of stone stairs, and came to the art department.

As far as the eye can see, someone has already arrived first, sitting at the square table and sipping black tea comfortably.

Apparently, the man skipped the opening ceremony.

"Yo, good morning, squad leader." Matake Hirasawa said hello with a smile.

Then, he casually picked up a stacked high game disc on the table.

When you insert the game into the prepared PS4, the first thing that comes to mind is the members of the research department and basic information.

……

After a series of introductions, the game finally began, and Matake Hirasawa also played happily.

Izumi Kurose sat aside, sipping tea with Chiren Shiraishi, waiting for the others to arrive.

At the same time, they talked about where they would go later.

After a while, the door of the Animal Research Department was opened, and Inari Yuki and Tsuda Ka walked in.

At that moment, Matake Hirasawa immediately raised his head, put down the PS4, and got up to meet it!

"Jia, you're here!"

"Well, come and see, by the way."

"Hey......

Izumi Kurose looked at the two people with an ambiguous and happy atmosphere, and suddenly understood the feeling of being shown affection.

Then, he said, "Since you are here, then Qian Lian and I will go shopping first." ”

Since there are only three people in the Animal Research Department, they use a shift system.

On the first day, it was Inari Yuki alone.

The second and third are Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Inari patted her flat chest, then sat down at the birch table, picked up another vacant PS4, and played the game they had developed.

Although she has been able to play it all several times since the game was completed, she still can't help but want to play when she sees her drawings used in the game.

"Do you want to go to the venue to see the show first, or where to go?" Izumi Kurose naturally took Chiren Shiraishi's hand and walked out of the art department.

"Listen to you, where do you want to go first?"

"Let's go to the venue, you won't miss a show there."

Eventually, they went to the venue and found an empty seat in the back row.

The interior of the venue was dim, except for the bright neon lights on the stage.

Under the stage, the seats were full of people, and their faces were full of excitement and expectation.

Now the people who are performing on stage seem to be from the dance club.

There were six of them, a man and a woman, dressed in ceremonial gowns.

The enthusiastic and unrestrained music flowed through the venue, tugging at the heartstrings of every audience member and causing them to cheer.

And the dancing postures of the men and women on the stage are also in line with the music, unrestrained and wild, and they are thrown around and twisted around in a short time.

"This is Latin dance?"

Izumi Kurose watched with interest and recognized the dance.

After the song, the dance club finally made a 360-degree rotation as a curtain call.

They spun and turned, and they didn't know how many times they turned, before they stopped and bent down to salute.

And the audience also burst into loud applause and cheers at the right time.

After the shows, the time came to ten o'clock, and according to the "Campus Festival Activity Book", there were two stage plays during this time period.

"Next up is Romeo and Juliet's stage play, which is quite interesting." Izumi Kurose whispered to his side, anticipation written on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, the neon sign that had been turned off in advance on the stage suddenly lit up, revealing its true face!

On the stage, at some point, a castle cardboard the size of half a stage was laid out, and there were a few trees.

"Poof...... This tree is too funny, isn't it? Izumi Kurose couldn't help but laugh out loud when he first looked at the stage.

The trees were made by people, wearing prop uniforms and holding two branches in their hands.

If that's all it takes, it's normal, but it's not normal that a tree shows its face!

Several of the others were turned away, and only one was facing the audience.

"What a mistake." Shiraishi Chiren also covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, feeling that the lonely tree was a little funny.

And the others felt the same way, and laughed out loud.

But laughing aside, the stage play still has to go on.

A man with a sword at his waist and dressed in the uniform of an English aristocrat stepped out from one side.

She's Romeo.

"Oh! Romeo, why are you Romeo? ”

"Deny your father and forsake your name! Maybe you don't want to do that, then you just have to be my lover, and I don't want to be Capulet anymore. ”

As it develops, the person who plays Juliet stands on the ledge of the castle and calls out to Romeo.

This is one of the climaxes of the plot, and everyone can't help but hold their breath and immerse themselves in the tense atmosphere rendered by the stage play.

"Juliet's lines sublimate this story."

Izumi Kurose said with a look of embarrassment, still remembering the understanding he made when he first read this book.

Actually, he didn't understand that names were so important in the first place? Repeat it several times.

In this day and age, it is certainly not that important.

But in the story of Romeo and Juliet, the era is still a feudal society, and the names of the nobility represent identity and status.

If Juliet had abandoned the Capulet surname, it would be useless.

Therefore, her courage and determination to love can't help but penetrate the reader's heart through the paper.

"It's a miserable love."

Shiraishi Qianren gave a speech softly, but her expression and eyes were flat, and she didn't see how immersed she was.

For love, she has also experienced separation and integration, and now watching this stage play, she must not feel anything.

On stage, the plot is still developing, and soon the ending will be ushered in.

The stage is surrounded by roses, and a tomb stands in it.

In front of the grave, Romeo put his arms around Juliet, and after saying the lines, he committed suicide by poisoning.

At this time, the stage lights dimmed, and when they came back on, Juliet was already holding Romeo.

She looked at Romeo with his eyes closed, complaining about why he didn't leave a poison for herself.

She then drew Romeo's sword and killed herself.

At this end of the story, the curtain will come to an end.

At the end of the day, the performers all came to the stage and bowed.

"Great! It's so nice between girls! ”

"Ah~ citrus aroma!"

The thunderous applause was mixed with a few lines that were extremely excited.

In this performance, the male and female protagonists are both girls, probably considering the scenes of kissing or intimate contact.

For example, during the martyrdom in the last scene, Romeo kisses Juliet.

At that moment, the audience screamed and cheered.

At the same table was my sick reader
