CH 86

Popular High School Student was asked

When we arrived at the festival venue, we were surprised by the big crowd there. People are practically flowing slowly as they navigate the festival.

If we can get past the food stalls, there should be a space for eating and relaxing so I guess we will have to be a little patient.

“There are so many people……”

“With this many…..I guess we will have to be careful to not lose each other huh.”

“Yes. If we split up here it might be hard for us to meet up again.”

“But there are so many food stalls here. Since it is so crowded, we can slowly take a look at every store right.”

With a single glance, I can see that there are already 3 stalls selling fried chicken. Moreover, they are all selling at the same price so I guess we should be able to buy whatever we want.

I don’t know which stall is best so I think it will be a hit or miss but the food stalls lined up here aren’t exactly known for being particularly good so I guess I will just leave it to fate.

“Onii-chan! It would be bad if we lost each other in the crowd so let’s hold hands!”

“Nn? Sure. You are not familiar with this area yet after all. It would be over for you if you get lost.”

“Absolutely! And it will be bad if we all split up too. Do you want to hold my hand, Reika-san? Ah, but if both my hands are occupied then I won’t be able to carry the food from the stalls! Hmm, Onii-chan’s left hand is still free right? Reika-san, would you like to hol—–Ouch! What was that for!”

“That’s my line! What were you trying to do!? Eihashi-san is all confused now right!”

When I glanced at Eihashi-san, her eyes were already starting to wander around while going “Eh? EHh?]. Seriously, with Ichinose-san earlier too, just what is Misaki trying to do here……

Also, the reason she gave to make me hold Eihashi-san’s hand is that she won’t be able to carry her food but if I do that then I won’t be able to carry mine right.

That’s putting the cart before the horse. In the first place, it’s not like the street is so wide that the three of us can hold each other’s hands and walk comfortably.

“A, Anyway, I will go buy us something! I will contact you later when to meet up okay!”

“Wha!? Oi! You will get lost on your own right! Ah, there she goes……”

“Onii-chan, I’m going too! I will message you later okay!”

“Oi! You too, Misaki!? Seriously……”

For the time being, Misaki is with Eihashi-san. If they are together then they should be able to meet back with us somehow. For some reason, Misaki has always been very fast when she wants to find me after all.

“Can’t be helped then. Let’s go look around just the three of us.”

“Yeah, well, if Seiya’s sister and Eihashi-san are together then they should be able to join us later right?”

“I think so! Well, there’s nothing we can do so let’s look around by ourselves first!”

With that said, the three of us decided to look around the venue.

“Ah, Kebab. I’m going to buy one, do you guys want some? I can go buy some for us if you want.”

“Then get one for me!”

“Okay, an extremely spicy one for Masato.”

“Then a medium-spicy one for me please!”

“Got it.”

The moment I was about to go line up at the stall, Masato stopped me.

“Wait! I didn’t say that I want the extreme spicy one right!”

“It’s okay. I will have the same kind after all.”

“Who the heck asked for your preference…….”

I think that kebabs should be spicy. If the spiciness isn’t there then it’s not kebab. Some places sell the less spicy one too so I will try to order an extreme spicy one for the time being.

Well, what I told Masato earlier was a joke though. Mine alone will be the extreme spicy one and his will be the medium one. Judging from the color of the sauce they use, this stall might be a real hit after all.

“Alright, I bought them.”

“Thank you!……it’s okay to eat here but let’s buy all the stuff and go eat together at the eating area!”

“Sounds good! Then I will go buy something too. Hmm….alright! I will buy us some fried chicken!”

“Then I will…..hmm, I guess I will get corndogs and some sidedishes okay! Hiura-kun, can you go ahead and find some seats for us!?”

“Okay. Then if I find a place I will contact Eihashi-san and Misaki too.”

I headed out of the crowd first and arrived at the eating area. There were quite a lot of people here as well. It looks like it will be a little difficult to find enough seats for all of us.

There, I found a group of college students sitting near an empty space.

“Excuse me.”

“Yes? Wha———t?”

“Are these seats available? If it’s alright with you, can I and my friends use it later?”

“Y, Yes. We are fine with that but, Uhh, I’m sorry if I get this wrong but are you Kamishiro Kousei-san?”

Come to think of it, I have my hair up today huh. I guess there’s no helping it if someone recognizes me.

However, my answer is still the same.

“Sorry, you have the wrong person.”

“Y, Yeah. Sorry. It was our misunderstanding. Anyway, we are leaving now.”

“Haha, it’s okay, people mistake me for him a lot after all.”

“You look exactly like him you know…….Well, enjoy the festival okay?”

The female college students vacated their seats without realizing that I am the real one. After that, I contacted everyone else and waited at the seats.

“Thanks for the wait! I saw you talking to the college students earlier but do you know them?”

“No, they just asked me some questions.”

“FumuFumu……is that question……..uhh, did they ask Hiura-kun if you are Kamishiro Kousei…..?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Come to think of it, Ichinose-san already knows huh. I forgot since it got so hectic since we met up today.

“I mean, how do I say this, Ichinose-san is my big fan right?”

“I am. Super big fan! Ever since your tailcoat issue!”

“That’s super early on right! …….Ichinose-san, don’t you have nothing to say other than that?”

“About Hiura-kun being Kamishiro Kousei?”

“Yeah, and about how I hid that fact.”

When I asked that, I was afraid of Ichinose-san’s answer.

“I mean, even if Hiura-kun is Kousei-sama, nothing will change right? Ah! I will gladly accept it if you give me your signature okay!”

“Is that so……”

“I bought the fried chicken…..what, what are you guys talking about?”

Masato arrived with fried chicken in hands. Since 3 out of 4 of my friends already knew, it would be bad if he finds out later huh. Let’s tell Masato here.

“Uhh, Masato. I’m actually——-”
