The so-called After-Festival marked the end of a school festival.
On the night the school festival ended, people lit bonfires in open spaces and danced the traditional Folk Dance around them, drawing the curtain on the festival and declaring it over.
Though the Daihaousei Festival was not a school festival, it was much like one.
As a large-scale event, the Daihaousei Festival was essentially an athletic meet, but to many people, it was no different from a celebration.
For that reason, After-Festivals were held after the Daihaousei Festival as well, depending on the circumstances.
However, those were spontaneous events rather than ones organized by Academy City.
At that moment, bonfires were being lit one after another throughout every corner of Academy City, their flames illuminating the night.
Quite a few bonfires had been lit in the Seventh District as well.
Fang Li and Sylvia had come to the nearest one.
"It's already started."
Sylvia looked at the scene before her, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
In the open space ahead of Sylvia, a tall bonfire blazed brightly.
Around it, pairs of boys and girls in athletic wear chatted and laughed with one another before stepping forward somewhat shyly and beginning to dance the Folk Dance around the fire.
The Folk Dance was not difficult. Even children could learn it after watching it once.
As a world-class diva, Sylvia's specialty might have been singing, but she was not bad at dancing either.
"Mm-hm."
Watching the Folk Dance gradually unfold, Sylvia nodded repeatedly.
"The movements really are simple. They're easy to learn, and they're pretty much the same as what I saw online."
Hearing that, Fang Li, who stood beside Sylvia, looked somewhat surprised.
"What?" Fang Li asked. "Have you never danced the Folk Dance before?"
"Of course not." Sylvia
