As the festival drew nearer and nearer, the energy in the school was rising steadily. I was a member of the team that had to make the rounds, and I was getting a little tired from all the heat. But I had no choice but to be weak at a place like this.

Alina's health seems to have recovered by now, and the past few days have been spent cursing her as usual. However, she was taking her duties in the student council seriously, so I knew that she was a person who would do what she decided to do until the end.
In the end, the truth that she has no memory of those two days is still not clear. She didn't even mention it, so it ended up with me just looking at her, but now that I think about it, maybe Alina wanted me to care about her, even if only a little.
She would have thought I was smug. But why would I go to the trouble of telling someone that I had no memory of the past two days? And that's Alina. Alina, who doesn't want me to interfere, went out of her way to say it in a way that would make people curious.

I'm decorating the classroom with these thoughts in my head.
Our class, class 2-2, is a caf with the theme of costumes. We can wear anything. Kimonos, armor... As long as it's not out of the ordinary. I avoided dressing up because I was going to be on patrol with Alina on the day of the event. Hooray for the student council. I'm glad I didn't plan on dressing up at all.

What are you going to dress up as?

Makoto Takane said so.

'I'm really sorry, but I don't dress up. I have another job.
'Well, I wanted to see your cosplay.
'Bullshit. On the contrary, I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to wear.
'I'm just going to buy a mask and be done with it.
'That's a safe bet.

While we were talking such nonsense, a crane with a paper ring on its shoulder came in.

''Comet, aren't you going to cosplay?
'Unfortunately, unfortunately. I've been given the mission to protect the security of the school.
'I'm sure Alina was looking forward to it.'
'No, no, no.
'I was looking forward to it. They laughed when they were talking to me.'
I'm sure he's mocking you. I'll be licking my chops at the fashion show of the third class of the second year.
'Heh. You're going to see it.
'It's going to be interesting.

In fact, Alina will stand out quite a bit. I'd like to see the look on her face when she does. Will she be smug, ashamed, or angry? It will be interesting to see.

'Comet, you have a devious look on your face.
I'm sorry. I'm going to get a facelift.
''Then maybe you'll encounter an interesting sight at the festival.
'? What do you mean?

Tsuru smiled meaningfully and went back to his work. Tsuru may look like an unassuming gal, but her brains are top of the class. Whatever she's thinking, she's about ten steps ahead of me. At least tell me something about personal safety.


After school, I go to the student council meeting. I often wonder why I have to stay here, since I am supposed to be a homebody, but then Alina comes up and I sigh.
I am doing my best for her rehabilitation. Dr. Akakusa asked me to help her, and that day Alina and I met in the library. We have been working together ever since.
If you ask me if Alina has changed, I can answer 'slightly'. She has been talking with Tsuru normally, and the frequency will increase from now on. I think Alina has opened her heart to me. I'll keep it to myself because I'm sure she'll stab me if I tell her.

Hello.

Tsuru and Alina had already arrived at the student council. The president of the student council, Jun Seki, as well as festival officer Shiho Saeki, and other mob characters. (I can't remember their names because I didn't have much to do with them.)
The student council president asked me to sit down, since he was apparently waiting for me.
Mr. Sekijun, the president of the student council, stood up.

There are only three days left until the festival. The festival is steadily taking shape according to the original plan. The student council has been able to follow the plan smoothly and with plenty of time to spare, thanks to the additional manpower. Let's not waste any time and put our hearts and souls into the rest of the time until the last minute to make the festival a reality!

The chairman's words signaled the start and the work began. Everyone is motivated and united. This is the kind of unity that people who belong to club activities and committees possess.
This is the kind of energetic enthusiasm that I, a homecoming club member, miss. It's not bad to just take classes every day and relax at home, and that's what I really want, but once in a while I think this kind of so-called "youth" is not so bad. I especially wanted Alina to feel it.
Now it's time to get to work, and as the chairman said, there is plenty of time to spare. The presentations and plans have passed the level of requiring the Student Council's intervention, and each group is now finishing up the details.
Although it's only three days before the event, everyone is working early to correct any mistakes that may have been made. Busy, busy, busy.
Alina and I decided to do what we were supposed to do, which was to confirm the 'temporary student council members and ushers'.

Are you ready for the festival?
'Yes.'
' Shiho has told me that I can basically do whatever I want. That doesn't mean you can skip work. There are no specific demands on patrol times or shifts.
''So''
'Basically, we're thinking of two people going around, is that okay?'
'...... why do I have to go around with you?'
'Because I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, you might ignore me and I'll be in a bad mood.
'...... Well, okay.'

He seems to be aware of it. It was very funny.

'Oh, by the way, I'll take care of the fashion show. I'm going around by myself during that time.
''So.''

I replied in a very flat tone, but Alina's mouth was slightly turned up. I didn't miss it. I'm sorry. I'm going to see the fashion show. In the meantime, you can take off your usher's armband. I'll take my time. Heh.



I just got a chill.
'You're not feeling well? Is it bad?
'No. I thought I saw a vile, inhumane man staring at me like a subway molester.

Yes, yes, it's me, Comet Sakakiki.
I'm going to see it for sure.
