Summer break has ended and it became the 7th of September.
There was an event happening in the afternoon, which had still not escaped from the summer heat.
On the stage, Yamabuki Ai was there with her fists clenched and squeezed her voice out to the mic in her hands.
Her best friends, Hazakura Mai and Fujibakama Mii were standing at both of her sides, holding the Raizen high school flag on her left and right.
Together, with the bizarre vigor Ai put into her state, it was like she was preparing to go to war.
"A year ago.... We learned the meaning of a bitter experience, the humiliation of a defeat... The cold feeling of the ground when made to grovel on the floor."
she said that with detest and swung her fist while nimbly raising her face.
"Well then, gentlemen. This pitiful army of defeated gentlemen. I want to ask all of you are we still feeling bitterness? Are we still groveling on the ground? Are we still stuck in defeat....?"
Saying that, Ai slammed her fist on the podium. The microphone's audio feedback echoed, as Syouji let out a chuckle.
"At this rate, the next thing she will say is "Dedicate your hearts!"." he muttered.
"Dedicate your hearts! They have given us time to sharpen out fangs of everyone! Our dearest time of fulfillment has come! Let there be glory to Raizen! Let there be honor to Raizen! With a strike with all of our strength, we will bite their throats to a thousand pieces!!"
At the same time, Ai swung her fist upwards and as if responding to that—
"OOHHHHHH" The students crowded in the gymnasium raised their voices all at once.
The gymnasium's glass windows shook slightly and the tremendous voices echoing on top of each other shook his eardrums until they hurt.
"You see? I told you. She makes a fine leader, indeed. The battlefield <stage> is going to be a mess in the end."
Syouji said while nodding in satisfaction."Haha..."
Itsuka Shidou cracked a wet smile while gazing at his twin brother, before turning back to his classmate giving a speech up on stage.
"Shidou, what on earth is happening? Why is Syouji acting so weird? Are we starting a war somewhere?" A doubtful voice came from his right side.
She had night coloured hair reaching her waist and a pair of crystal stares that stared at Shidou. An impossible beauty.
Beautiful enough to think it was not something she was naturally born with. Her face was perplexed with a very bewildered expression.
That was because no matter how you look at her, Ai looks like a war hero or a lecturer giving a seminar.
"Well Tohka, it's because of the Tenou festival." Syouji spoke.
"Tenou... festival? Shidou, What's that?" Saying that, Tohka turned towards Shidou with a questioning gaze.
"Ahh— well, an easy way to say it is that it's a super big school festival."
When Shidou said that, Tohka's eyes sparkled.
"School festival..... Ooh! I've seen that before in the television. It's a dream-like festival with food vendors lined up in the school."
"Of course your mind goes to the food." Syouji said with a chuckle.
"Well, it's not wrong, but..." Shidou muttered with a wry smile.
"Ooh.... I see. We're going to do a school festival! That's.... Unn, I think it's good!"
