The Cultural Festival Begins! (Continued)

Is Hasebe that fierce?

How could you ask such a question in front of so many people?

However, Kamuro and Kushida weren't embarrassed by the topic; they just felt that Hasebe wasn't far from getting on the Hasebe.

Sakura and Karuizawa blushed instantly, but surprisingly, they didn't run away, and didn't even look away from Shuichi Kanda.

"How about it? Do you want to give it a try? Masumi and Kikyo know very well whether my body can handle it or not."

As he spoke, he glanced at her magnificent and awe-inspiring breasts, which were more imposing than anyone else's.

Then Hasebe blushed too. Although she could be very bold at times, this topic was still a bit too stimulating for a naive young girl.

"Hmph, Shuichi is no different from other boys, a lecherous creature."

After making a sarcastic remark, Hasebe dragged Sakura, whose hair was already steaming, away.

"Well, I'll be going now. I made plans to have dinner with Matsushita."

Karuizawa's eyes darted around, then he made an excuse to slip away.

In the blink of an eye, Shuichi Kanda Kamuro and Kushida remained on Kanda Shuichi's side.

"Let's go eat then."

Shuichi Kanda looked at the two of them.

"You and Masumi go ahead, I have an appointment with Xiao Mei later too."

Okay, now it's just the two of them alone.

Hirata took over the shop's affairs, and Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro left the Special Building and headed out of the school.

"It's been so long since I've had a meal cooked by Shuichi. How about Shuichi cooks for me?"

Kamuro held Shuichi Kanda's arm tightly, resting his head on his shoulder, and the two walked slowly down the road.

"Eh~ I've been shopping for a long time today, I'm a little tired, and I don't really feel like cooking." Shuichi Kanda was indeed tired, but not because he had been shopping for a long time.

"Really? Isn't it because you spent the afternoon playing with a girl?"

Kamuro's words froze Shuichi Kanda's expression. Holy crap, how did she know?

"Shuichi, you must be wondering how I knew, right?"

Holy crap!

Wow, that's amazing Masumi, have you awakened the ability to read minds?

"Of course I can't read minds, but I heard that you went shopping with Senior Kiryuin this afternoon and then left the school together. Plus, you still smell of a woman on you. Isn't that easy to guess?"

Shuichi Kanda, then spoke.

"Masumi, I feel you'd be perfect as a detective."

"No way, I don't want to meddle in other people's business."

Shuichi Kanda's answer was an admission of what Kamuro had just said, while Kamuro's tone indicated that she didn't care about it.

Of course, perhaps it's not that they don't care.

Feeling the arms holding him even tighter, Shuichi Kanda reached out his other hand and patted Kamuro.

Then Kamuro raised his head and looked at Shuichi Kanda a serious expression.

"I know you'll have other women in the future, but you absolutely can't abandon me. I can't live without you anymore."

"Don't worry, I won't let any of you leave me. After all, I'm quite greedy."

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's reply, Kamuro smiled again and leaned on Shuichi Kanda's shoulder once more.

"Let's go eat barbecue, Shuichi, you have to grill it for me yourself."

"No problem!"

After a long period of preparation, the day of the Cultural Festival finally arrived.

The Cultural Festival starts at 9:00 AM, after which guests and campus staff will appear at the school as visitors.

To avoid chaos at the last minute, the school requires students to arrive at school before 8:30 a. m., and if they are still worried, they can even arrive at school as early as 6:00 a. m.

In order to make the class's Cultural Festival a success, the students got up very early and headed to school much earlier than usual.

Not only Shuichi Kanda's class, but also students from other classes and even other grades got up early to prepare.

Although Shuichi Kanda had prepared his own tea room, he was, after all, the backbone of the class, so he arrived early at the class's key project—the Co-shoot Nude Cafe.

With all the preparations complete, it was nearly nine o'clock in the morning.

Shuichi Kanda's tea room is different from the other projects; it starts at 10 a. m., an hour later than theirs, so Shuichi Kanda is still helping out here at this moment.

Although he wasn't needed to give orders, his mere presence seemed to bring a sense of security.

At 9:00 AM sharp, the school's loudspeaker immediately announced the start of the Cultural Festival.

At the same time, the guests entered the school through the main gate, officially marking the start of the Cultural Festival.

"What should I do? I'm starting to get nervous..."

"After all, I haven't had any contact with people outside since I entered this school."

At the very beginning, before they even saw anyone, some students started to get nervous.

Unfortunately, being in a closed environment for a long time and then suddenly having to come into contact with people from the outside world can indeed make people feel nervous.

This is a normal phenomenon, but as long as someone can withstand the pressure and motivate others, everyone will likely get into the swing of things quickly.

The girls were currently discussing switching shifts. After all, they were all students and almost none of them had any work experience, so it was probably impossible for them to just tough it out for a whole day.

Therefore, we need to take turns resting. This was already discussed yesterday, and we are just confirming this issue now.

They had a premonition that there would be a lot of people queuing up today.

Because everyone chooses cute clothes, and most humans are the same in that they can't resist cute things.

The boys, centered around Hirata, were having a final discussion about strategies for dealing with overcrowding or disputes. In order to be able to respond quickly to unexpected situations, everyone was rehearsing their responses.

After the discussion ended, almost everyone returned to their posts, while Shuichi Kanda sat at an empty table and became an observer.

"Please use it."

Kamuro, dressed in a snow woman Kamuro, brought over a cup of black tea and placed it on Shuichi Kanda's table.

Upon seeing her attire, Shuichi Kanda's eyes lit up.

"It suits you perfectly."

"Thank you for the compliment."

After putting down the black tea, Kamuro carried the tray back to the kitchen.

Shuichi Kanda picked up the black tea, took a sip, and found it quite good.

Welcome!

Soon, the first guest arrived.

Please have a seat here.

Because it's Sunday, the first group to enter the store were actually families.

The person in the lead was a male guest, presumably around forty years old. Behind him were three others, one of whom was likely his wife, and the other two were a boy and a girl in their teens, who appeared to be around the same age.

These two children, who were younger than Shuichi Kanda, were a little shy, but they still couldn't help looking at the girls dressed in various cute outfits.

Because of prior rehearsal, after leading the guests to their seats, I took the menus and iced water and went to their seats.

Great, the start went smoothly. Although your voice was a little nervous, you didn't make any mistakes, and judging from the customer's expression, they seemed quite satisfied.

As the first wave of customers arrived, others followed with curiosity and entered the shop. As the number of customers increased, Shuichi Kanda finished his tea and got up to leave.

It was getting late, and he needed to go to his tea room.

However, Shuichi Kanda stepped out of the classroom, someone hurriedly came out from behind him—it was Hondo and Minami.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone will be ordering soon, let's go pick it up from the vendor!"

Upon hearing Minami's answer, Shuichi Kanda shook his head.

"Calm down. We've equipped ourselves with Intercom to deal with this kind of situation, right? Use the Intercom to tell the vendors to start serving food. There's no need to rush like this; if others see you, they'll think something serious has happened."

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Minami and Hondo immediately calmed down and nodded.

"Oh right, sorry...!"

The two then began to act as Shuichi Kanda had instructed. Although they were no longer in a hurry, they still moved quite quickly, as it wouldn't be good to keep the guests waiting.

However, they'll probably mature quickly.

After watching them leave, Shuichi Kanda prepared himself and headed towards his tea room.

This used to be the school's reception room. Shuichi Kanda was quite familiar with this place; not long after the start of the semester, he and Ayanokoji were called here by Chabashira-sensei.

Then the two of them made tea inside.

The Age Spring Water was prepared yesterday and is currently in the bucket beside me. When needed, just boil it and use it to make tea.

Shuichi Kanda needs is to wait here for his first guest and then brew tea for him.

As for such trivial matters as collecting money, Tsukishiro will handle that.

Time passed by, and at exactly ten o'clock, the door to the tea room was pushed open, and an elderly man and a middle-aged man entered.

Upon seeing the two of them, Shuichi Kanda's face showed a surprised expression.

He knew these two people, though he had only met them a few times, but he would never forget them, because they were among the first people he met after regaining consciousness in this world.

The middleman's name seems to be Kyoji, Kanda Kyoji.

According to them, he was their adoptive parents' biological older brother and the current head of the Kanda Family.

The old man appeared to be the other party's father, but his name was unknown.

"So they really came," Shuichi Kanda, narrowing his eyes slightly.

As Shuichi Kanda them up, they walked up to him, with a tea table separating them.

"It's you? It's been a long time! Please have a seat."

After hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, the other person did not immediately reply or sit down, but instead made a strange gesture.

Kanda Kyoji took a black electronic device out of his pocket, operated it for a while, and then placed it on the tea table.

"This is a signal jammer that can interfere with network signals. Although we can confirm there are no cameras here, it's best if we don't leak our upcoming conversation, so please understand."

"Certainly."

Shuichi Kanda is different now than he was then. He now has the confidence to talk to the other party, whether they are friend or foe, Shuichi Kanda is confident that he can escape unscathed.

After Shuichi Kanda finished speaking, the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then sat down on the sofa opposite each other.

The three sat facing each other, but the atmosphere was somewhat strange. After all, all three were members of the Kanda Family, and both sides had things to say, but neither knew where to begin, so they fell into a slight silence.

However, the silence was quickly broken.

The spring water that Shuichi Kanda boiled has boiled.

"Since you're here, it means you've already paid for the food. So please have a cup of tea first, but there's only one cup."

With that, Shuichi Kanda took down the teapot and began brewing tea according to Shiina's method, even waiting for the water to cool slightly before pouring it out.

Upon seeing the blue water, the old man immediately stood up and looked at the cup of blue tea with disbelief.

"You... you've regained your power? Your memories... have they returned as well?"

At that moment, as soon as the other party spoke, Shuichi Kanda understood something. Sure enough, the Kanda Family knew something.

After all, the attitude now is completely different from that time.

Then, expressionless, he put down the kettle and looked at the other person.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The old man opened his mouth, wanting to speak several times, but he didn't know where to begin.
