Lu Shu felt that he could be considered an experienced spy. Although he exposed his impersonations often, that did not affect how he regarded himself as the “spy expert”.
Therefore, although the members of the Collection of Gods had came prepared, there was an obvious difference between students and members of the public.
For example, the middle-aged man who looked like he was over 40 years old. Was he serious about wearing a school uniform?!
Lu Shu looked at the middle-aged man who was making soba noodles. “Uncle, you have stayed back for quite a lot of years.”
“From Kuroda Kiyotaka’s distress, +299!”
Although the School Festival was like an open house, Waseda University’s school festival could attract up to 150,000 people, only students were allowed to run stalls.
However, the Collection of Gods operated strangely. For Kokushikan University’s school festival, they added over hundreds of stalls and added some traditional performances…
The stalls of the Collection of Gods made the entire school festival upgrade several levels. That was because the Collection of Gods did it after receiving instructions and even invited professional performers.
Lu Shu stood quietly amongst the crowd, beside Sakurai Yaeko. He suddenly realized that Sakurai Yaeko was showing him the best side of the school festival quietly.
The students of the Kokushikan University sensed the unusual vibes too. In the past, they had participated in school festivals. After all, students were not professionals, the signboard of their stalls were drawn on A4-sized paper and looked sluggish.
If there was a student whose special project was particularly exciting, there would be many people in front of his stall.
This year’s school festival was evidently different. It felt as though an experienced event organizer suddenly organized an insane party in Kokushikan University.
They knew that it was Sakurai Yaeko’s doing.
In the morning when Sakurai Yaeko saw the students who were getting ready for the school festival, the Collection of Gods began to start work.
They invited the famous clients such as the dorayaki maker from Kita City in Tokyo, Kochoan Senba, the best soba noodle maker in Gifu Prefecture, and…
There were too many clients. The members of the Collection of Gods were busy like bees. They fetched each client to Kokushikan University in the cars of the Collection of Gods and gave them Kokushikan University’s uniforms.
There were also performances such as the drums, song and dance performances. The stage set-up and costume preparation felt as though the special forces were getting ready for a battle. The members of the Collection of Gods used the most effective method to make them appear in the school compound of Kokushikan University.
The students felt as though they were in a magical world. The food that they long craved for and their favourite performances were all in front of their eyes.
In the end, the students abandoned their stalls. They were supposed to organize the school festival but now, they became the “guests”.
After hearing about the situation in the Kokushikan University, the students living near Setagaya drove over. Even the other residents in Tokyo rushed over as it was rare for so many famous food and classic performances to be found together at one venue.
Ordinary people would not be able to invite these famous stores to participate in events, unless the Collection of Gods invited them.
The students suddenly felt that this school festival seemed to be a present specially prepared for Lu Shu by Sakurai Yaeko. It was an unexplainable happiness that a young girl felt, she wanted to give the best to Lu Shu.
She asked the Collection of Gods to move the entire country’s speciality food and interesting performances to the school. It seemed as though she was telling Lu Shu, “This is what I can do for you, I can give you everything.”
At this moment, the students of the Kokushikan University were both envirous and thankful for Lu Shu.
If not for Sakurai Yaeko, they would not have been able to experience an unforgettable school festival.
Lu Shu laughed helplessly as he looked at Sakurai Yaeko. Sakurai Yaeko knew that she was exposed and hence felt embarrassed. However, instead of admitting it, she tugged Lu Shu’s sleeves. “Let’s go, there is a magic show ahead!”
As they arrived at the stage of the magic show, a staff wearing a cartoon costume distributed a small slip of paper to everyone in the audience. The small slip of paper had a number printed on it.
Lu Shu asked curiously, “What is this slip of paper used for?”
The staff explained, “After the magic show, there will be a lucky draw. The magician will draw a piece of paper and the person with the same number as that on the paper will win a free prize!”
Lu Shu looked at his number, 52.
The magic show was very interesting. Some students quickly recognized the magician who was wearing their school uniform. It was none other than Matsukata Masayoshi, the most famous magician in Japan…
Then, during the lucky draw segment, the magician put his hand into the box filled with slips of paper. “I wonder who will be the lucky winner amongst the audience?”
The next moment, he took out a piece of paper and showed it to the audience. “52! Where is number 52?!”
Lu Shu smiled and raised his slip of paper, signalling that he was the lucky winner.
Everything seemed to be a seamless coincidence. However, everyone knew that this coincidence was specially prepared for Lu Shu.
At this moment, the staff took out a huge bouquet of flowers and passed it to Lu Shu. “This is the special gift, you can give it to your partner.”
Lu Shu did not know how to react. The second part of the sentence could not be more obvious?
Everything that happened tonight was not only a gift that Sakurai Yaeko specially prepared for Lu Shu but also a chance for her to fulfil her wishes.
Before Lu Shu could react, Sakurai Yaeko snatched the bouquet of flowers from Lu Shu and smiled to the magician. “Thank you!”
Then, Sakurai Yaeko ran to another venue while pulling onto Lu Shu’s sleeves.
The students and the Tokyo residents behind them had complicated emotions.
Everyone knew that in this party, they were merely a foil.
The big shots who were invited by the Collection of Gods suddenly felt that this school festival was very interesting. They looked at the audience and residents who came for them. They suddenly wondered if it was a good idea to hold a school festival every year in this school?
As they experienced the atmosphere in the school with the school uniform, they felt that they were a few years younger.
That night, the managers of the famous stores had a discussion and decided to continue doing this in the future!
Suddenly someone said, “What should we name the special school festival?”
School festivals should have a special name as their theme. That was the purpose of the school festival.
The magician smiled. “Why not name it “A Young Girl’s Emotions?”
The managers of the famous stores looked at each other. “Seems pretty fitting, let’s name it that!”
