School Festival is the most distinctive campus activity in Japan and has even become a label of campus culture.
It has many functions, such as connecting outstanding people from the campus, training students' organizational and practical skills, promoting the school, serving as an enrollment activity, etc.
It can be said that school festivals are a kind of culture that has evolved as a result of schools adapting to society and following trends.
Later on, it became a routine.
School festivals are generally divided into class exhibitions and club exhibitions. As the name suggests, they are activities for various projects based on classes and clubs.
Snacks, haunted houses, and cafes are all traditional programs of the school festival. With the continuous development of various strange clubs, the entertainment is becoming more and more diverse.
It is precisely because of this that the school festival is able to continue to maintain its vitality.
Similarly, school festivals appear very frequently in anime.
"This takoyaki tastes great. Are high school students so good at cooking now?"
Under the guidance of Sonoko, Karasawa ate the freshly made takoyaki and exclaimed in praise.
"Hehe, the takoyaki in the class next door is made by the son of the Takoyaki family." While Sonoko was taking them shopping, she directed the two to buy snacks like apple candy.
"That's all for now. You guys can have fun while I rehearse the script later~"
After taking the two of them around the school for a while, Yuanzi hurriedly said goodbye to them and stopped acting as a third wheel.
After smiling and waving goodbye to each other, Tang Ze took Ayako's hand and strolled around the campus.
Amidst the lively laughter and joy, the two savored snacks while experiencing the novel activities planned by the young people.
Of course, they also went to the haunted house, but the workmanship of the students was actually very simple. For Tang Ze, who was used to seeing corpses, it was a piece of cake.
However, a normal person like Ayako would be scared from time to time even in such a simple haunted house.
Of course, there were quite a few laughs because some of the workmanship was so crude.
Even though she was scared, Ayako felt instantly at ease with Tang Ze by her side.
"Ah, so fun~ I haven't played like this in a while." Ayako said with a smile after walking out of the haunted house, "I relived the school festival and felt like I was back in high school."
“Although it’s not as good as a proper store or entertainment venue, this kind of building has its own unique flavor.”
Tang Ze smiled and nodded, then looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. The performance in the auditorium is about to start. Let's go to the auditorium and watch the performance of Yuanzi and her class."
"Then let's go. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Sonoko's play performs." Ayako said with anticipation, "She's been at home these past few days, always saying how highly praised her play was at school, even claiming it's even more spectacular than 'Romeo and Juliet.'"
Well, there is a black and a white side. Although Sonoko is a bit of a nymphomaniac and loves all kinds of bloody romantic plots, the rehearsal of the adapted drama at this school festival was still very good.
It’s better to say that this kind of plot is very suitable for drama performance.
In the plot, the black knight played by Yukiko Kudo also completed the performance smoothly. At the same time, he arbitrarily modified the plot in the last scene to avoid the embarrassing scene of kissing his own daughter-in-law.
After the play ended, there was warm applause from the audience. Black Knight and Xiaolan bowed together to thank the audience and then returned to the backstage.
"Sonoko? Why are you here!?"
Seeing Sonoko rushing out from the side, Xiaolan was surprised. She turned her head and looked at the "Black Knight" in surprise, "If you are not Sonoko, then who are you?"
"Hehe, actually I was originally going to go on stage~ After all, there's a kissing scene at the end~" Sonoko said with a sly grin, "But then I found a more suitable candidate~"
As he spoke, Yuanzi nudged the "Black Knight" with his elbow and said jokingly, "Why don't you take off your helmet? Coward~"
In the face of Sonoko's teasing, the "Black Knight" did not respond, but took off his helmet directly, revealing the familiar face that Xiaolan was dreaming about.
"Shinichi? Why is it you?"
Seeing Shinichi suddenly appear, Xiaolan was surprised and then asked in surprise: "You are back?"
"Hehe, surprise~"
Sonoko came over, hugged Xiaolan and looked at Shinichi, deliberately showing a regretful expression and said: "What a pity, a coward changed the scene I designed without permission~"
"Garden!"
When Xiaolan heard what Sonoko said, her face turned red and she shouted shyly.
"Ah, ah, ah~ Are you shy?" Sonoko said with a narrowed look, "But I don't know who it is, but they keep talking about someone every day when they're not around."
Just when Ran was about to explode in embarrassment, Conan, who was about to come over from the backstage, heard Sonoko's teasing and immediately rushed over to save the situation, "Ranai-chan! Shinichi-chan! Your performance was amazing!"
Although the topic is a bit old-fashioned, it doesn't matter. It's enough to interrupt the delicate atmosphere over there.
After all, this is my mother pretending to be me. If Yuanzi continues to tease me, I will explode!
What the hell is the difference between this and a public execution?!
Conan was wailing madly in his heart, but he had to maintain a normal appearance on the surface and change the subject to help Xiaolan and himself.
"The performance was pretty good this time, but the last scene felt a little out of place. Was it changed at the last minute?"
Seeing Conan waving his little hands and trying hard to change the subject, Tang Ze laughed inwardly and brought the subject back to the topic seriously.
How can we not intensify the intensity of such a shameful public execution?
"That's right! Brother-in-law, don't you think it's not as effective as before?"
Upon hearing this, Sonoko immediately agreed, "There was supposed to be a romantic kiss in the original novel, but when the audience was really looking forward to it, the scene was blocked by the cloak, which always felt a bit disappointing."
Seeing that the topic was brought back, Conan glared at Tang Ze fiercely, and then immediately said: "I think the last scene is very good! It gives people endless reverie at the end~"
"Hmph, what do you know, little brat." Sonoko tapped Conan's little head with a look of disdain.
"Okay, the show is over, let's go eat together."
Yukiko Kudo, who pretended to be the son, had seen enough of the fun, put away her concealed "auntie smile", and spoke up to smooth things over and try to end this "happy" atmosphere.
Watching Tang Ze and Yukiko change the subject in a few words, Conan on the side drooped his eyes, and it seemed as if a group of alpaca were running wildly in his heart...
