Side Story: The Cultural Festival on Valentine's Day (I)
The day before the cultural festival-
In order to welcome the arrival of the cultural festival, there were busy figures everywhere in the academy.
Of course, under such circumstances, there was also one person who was not assigned a job.
By the window, Yabei leaned against the wall like a ghost, watching everyone busy preparing for the cultural festival.
Be it hand-drawn posters, signboard templates, or moving props…
Everyone who was busy decorating the themed café did not notice Ya Bei.
(The cultural festival was supposed to be enjoyable…)
At this moment, Yabei's face was full of depression. Everyone was busy, and he was the only one standing alone by the wall.
(There's nothing to do…It's so painful…I really want to go home…)
(However, I haven't done any preparation work for the cultural festival so far…I should at least help out. Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of gossip I'll get…)
Yabei sighed and turned to look out the window.
"Isn't that Kai Yi…"
Outside the teaching building, Yabei saw Kai holding a large cardboard box and walking toward the teaching building with his classmates, chatting and laughing.
Seeing Kai's happy face, Yabei was in a bad mood.
(Damn it! He only cared about his own happiness and did not care about the feelings of others! You're clearly from the same organization as me, but you don't help me with my work. If I don't do something, everyone will definitely gossip!）
Ya Bei was unwilling.
At this moment, the conversation between the two girls in the class caught Ya Bei's attention.
"Hey, are Kai and the others not here?”
A girl who was holding a photocopied flyer asked the girl who was drawing posters on the ground.
"They went to buy the necessary supplies for the cultural festival. They should be back soon.”
The girl who was drawing stood up and replied to her friend.
"The flyers are all printed. I originally wanted them to help me cut them.”
The girl holding the flyers looked at the stack of flyers in her hand with a disappointed expression.
After hearing their conversation, Yabei slowly walked to their side and looked at them nervously.
A rare opportunity could not be given up…
"That, that…"
A weak voice came from their ears. They turned to look at the nervous Yabei.
Yabei reached out and pointed at the flyer that the girl was holding. His voice grew softer and softer.
"I... I'll do it…cut it out."
"That…"
The two girls looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The main reason was that Yabei had acted too reluctantly, which would make people think that he was forcing her to help. Besides, it was better for the boys to cut the clothes. It wouldn't be good if the girls 'hands were hurt.
"It's fine, it's fine. You don't have to force yourself! Just let the boys do it!"
The two of them quickly rejected.
(I'm not forcing you! If he could barely cut paper, what difference was there from death?!!）
Although Yabei still looked nervous, he was screaming in his heart.
(If I cower this time, I will have no chance at all…)
"That…Anyway, I'm very free…Cutting things is very good for me…"
"Ah…"
Seeing Yabei so insistent, the two of them smiled helplessly at each other.
"Then I'll leave it to you…"
"Cut this like this, and then…"
Worried that Yabei would hurt his hand, the two kindly told Yabei how to cut it.
—1—
"Excellent!"
Inside the classroom, Ya Bei was excitedly cutting a flyer with a hand-made knife. The content of the flyer was, of course, about the promotion of the cosplay café for Christmas.
There were a hundred flyers. Even if it was just Ya Bei alone, he would finish them quickly in the morning.
(Speaking of which, it's halloween tomorrow…)
Yabei was thinking about halloween as he cut the paper.
(The captain's perfume that I ordered online has arrived. The cosplay costumes and 3D mobile devices of the Investigation Corps will only arrive tomorrow evening. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night's halloween event...)
"That…"
A familiar voice sounded. Yabei raised his head and saw Kai looking at him blankly.
"Yabei…they asked me to help you…"
Facing Yabei's venomous gaze, Kai's scalp went numb, and he forced a smile.
"I don't need your help. You can continue to be lazy…"
Yabei glared at Kaye resentfully. If Kaye helped, his working hours would be reduced, and he would be idle again.
"I'm not slacking off. I'm just buying props for Christmas with everyone. There were many items that needed to be used for decoration.”
Kai said unhappily.
"It's not good to let you cut paper alone. This is originally a boy's job.”
As he spoke, Kai also picked up the flyer and began to cut it.
"Even if it's just me, it's fine.”
Ignoring Kai, Yabei lowered his head and continued his work.
(I really don't understand why Yabei hates me so much…)
Kaye was confused. Ever since the incident with Fatty, Yabei had hated Kaye, even though they cooperated well when hunting Digimons. However, Yabei never paid attention to Kaye in his daily life. Kaye had been apologizing all this while.
"Those who want to try on clothes, come over!”
Yabei, who was cutting the flyers, raised his head curiously when he heard a voice.
"Oh!"
A few girls pushed the pushable clothes racks into the classroom. The clothes racks were filled with all kinds of cosplay costumes. Seeing so many costumes, Ya Bei's eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Where did you get so many clothes?”
Everyone gathered around, blocking Yabei's line of sight.
"I borrowed it from my friends and the comedy club. I bought the rest of the clothes in the store.”
The person in charge explained from the crowd.
"Oh, I think I've seen that dress in an anime before.”
"Boys, please change your clothes next door…"
Amidst the commotion, Yabei watched as everyone took their clothes and left. He began to imagine that he was one of them…
Ah, Yabei, come and try this on.}
"No, I…"
{Oh oh ~~ It's so beautiful ~!}
[She's really cute!]
"Is that so? Haha…"
"Hehehe…"
In his beautiful fantasy, Yabei's face was filled with a blissful smile, and he laughed from time to time.
"Yabei…"
Looking at the young girl in front of him who was laughing so uncontrollably, Kai didn't know what kind of expression he should show.
"Ah…"
While Yabei was still fantasizing, he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his left thumb and index finger.
Ya Bei subconsciously looked down at his left hand, and his eyes widened. Due to his distraction, he cut his left hand with a hand-made knife, and blood quickly flowed out of the wound. Red blood dripped onto the paper, and the white flyer was dyed red.
"Ah! Yabei, you're injured!"
Kaye, who noticed the blood dripping onto the paper, revealed a panicked expression.
"There's blood on it…"
Looking at the blood-stained flyer, Yabei revealed an uneasy expression. He would definitely be scolded…
"Now is not the time to care about this. We have to go to the health room quickly!”
In her panic, Kaye no longer cared about the cutting work. Instead, she immediately pulled Yabei out of the classroom and ran toward the health room.
(Ah…by a boy…)
Normally, Yabei would have been furious. But this time, Yabei simply let Kai pull him along and lowered his head with a flushed face.

"It's great that you're fine.”
Outside the sanatorium, Kaye looked relieved when she saw the large OK pop on Yabei's left finger.
"Ah…thank you…"
To Kai's surprise, Yabei didn't get angry at him. Instead, he thanked him nervously.
"It's okay. Since you're injured, leave the rest of the work to me. No one will blame you.”
Kai laughed heartily.
"Woo…"
Ya Bei blushed.
"Stupid, stupid! Even if you help me, I won't have any feelings for you. My heart belongs to Captain Liweir!”
Yabei turned his back to Kai and said awkwardly.
"It seems like I've been misunderstood again…"
Kai was used to Yabei's cold and warm attitude towards him, so he didn't think much of it.
"Then, I'll go back and help first. Take care!"
After bidding farewell to Yabei, he left.
After Kai left, Yabei looked at his injured finger again.
(Although the wound has already been healed with the OK Jumper, it seems that I don't need to help today.) Even if I go back, everyone will definitely tell me not to force myself too much.）
"Haha…"
The corners of Yabei's mouth curled up slightly.
(This is great, I can finally not participate in the preparation work openly--)

Because of his injury, Yabei spent a long and boring day at school.
As the sun set, they could finally leave the school.
On the way home, Ya Bei walked past the commercial street alone as usual. Just as she walked past a clothing store, she was attracted by the huge billboard outside the store.
(Speaking of which, those cosplay costumes seemed to have been bought from this shop.)）
Ya Bei recalled the various cosplay costumes hanging on the underwear rack.
(What if I wear this kind of clothes?）
Perhaps out of curiosity, Yabei walked into the shop.
The interior of the store was very simple. All kinds of cosplay costumes were packed in bags and placed on the shelves with clear prices. The label of each bag indicated the type of clothing, price, introduction, and other basic information.
Breathing in the fragrance of all kinds of brand new clothes and fabrics, the laughter of buyers and the greetings of the shop owners kept ringing in his ears. Looking at the few girls dressed fashionably and with good figures at the entrance of the changing room, Ya Bei walked among the rows of 2D products with a blush and a heartbeat. He seemed absent-minded, but he was actually carefully looking around.
"What clothes should I choose…"
She looked at the shelves filled with clothing bags. Every type of clothing on them was very good. There were gothic dresses, policewoman costumes, and catgirl costumes...
"This one!"
In the end, Ya Bei chose the maid outfit.
When he returned to his apartment, it was already evening.
Yabei ignored his partner who was gnawing on dry bread and looking at him with resentment. He ran into his room excitedly and changed into the maid outfit he had just bought.
Her tight neckline and shoulder-length short-sleeved shirt were decorated with bright white ruffled edges, and the mid-thigh skirt was decorated with white lace. The front of the dress was matched with a short white apron tied with a large bow at the back of the waist. Coupled with long black knee-length stockings, she looked exactly like a standard maid in the public's impression.
[It's a little difficult to dress like this to receive guests at the cultural festival tomorrow…]
In front of his computer, Ya Bei posted a photo of his maid outfit on his blog.
Looking at himself in the photo, Ya Bei felt a little embarrassed.
"As expected, I still can't dress like this…"
She didn't have a figure and had small breasts. If such a maid was seen, she would definitely be laughed at by everyone.
"What maid? She's still suitable for people like my sister with a voluptuous chest…"
Yabei sighed deeply. He had no confidence in himself.
At this moment, the phone rang.
" Ah, hey, brother!!"
Hearing another voice on the phone, Ya Bei was shocked.
Then, her surprised expression turned into anger.
"Ah, you saw my photo…Bastard! Which brother would say that his sister was ugly!!”
"Yes, tomorrow is the cultural festival.”
Ya Bei replied impatiently. When he heard the other party's words, he stood up abruptly and shouted in displeasure.
"You're here to visit the cultural festival?”
"Go to hell! You delinquent! I don't want you to come! Ah…He died…"
He wanted to continue cursing, but he did not expect the other party to hang up the conversation early.
"What should I do…? If big brother comes over tomorrow, I will definitely be laughed at by that fellow again…"
Yabei squatted on the floor, his hands covering his head with an unwilling expression.
" Forget it…Tomorrow is the cultural festival. I'd better enjoy it…"

On the day of the Warmth Sacrifice, the weather was exceptionally good. The morning sun peeked out from the clouds, like a broken piece of silk, sprinkling a warm light on the ground. When the breeze blew, it danced with the mottled shadows of the trees, like broken mercury running on the ground.
On the bulletin board at the entrance of the campus, there were drawings of butterfly-related pumpkin heads and bats. At the school gate, Kaye was wearing a black cat costume with little devil wings on its back and a yellow cross on its abdomen, giving balloons and candy to the customer service staff who passed by.
All kinds of Christmas decorations and posters were hung all over the campus. It had a yellow pumpkin head, white vampire teeth, a reddish-black cloak, and a scary little skull.
At the same time, there were also students dressed in all kinds of ghosts and spirits participating in the cultural festival. The entire campus was filled with the atmosphere of the festival.
" Terrifying, terrifying, very scary haunted house-"
" Come quickly, come quickly. It's very, very cheap!"
"So many interesting comics! There must be something you haven't seen before ~"
The lively campus was crowded because it was not just students. The school anniversary celebration was also open to the public. Classes, clubs, and various activities in the gymnasium were held. The grand and enthusiastic scene was not inferior to the school festival of ordinary universities.
"Welcome!"
The maid cafe belonging to the third grade C class was unprecedentedly grand. As soon as the guests arrived, the maids and waiters who were on standby immediately came forward to receive them.
Only this place had more customers than students. The small maid cafe was already overcrowded.
"Is the hot water not ready yet?"
A girl in a maid uniform asked the boy in an apron anxiously.
"I'll go take a look!"
The boy quickly walked away.
Because there were too many guests, it was still a little exhausting to deal with them.
(I really hope that delinquent doesn't come…)
Only Yabei had nothing to do and was leaning against the window, watching everyone busy.
(It would be bad if he came to class…) He will definitely mock my status in this class again…)
"Dulu…"
His phone vibrated in his pocket, and he subconsciously took out his phone to receive the message.
Hey, ugly girl, I'm already at school.
You're in Class C, right?
"That bastard…
" Yabei clenched his phone angrily. He didn't expect him to be so fast.
(It's better to leave quickly. It won't be good if we're discovered.)）
He looked around guiltily and left the classroom while no one noticed him.
