Fate/Stay Gakuen | Gilgamesh x OC: Hinako Suzuhana (AU)

(Summer) Chapter 24

Author's Notes | August 2016

Hello, guys! HanaYume23 here!

This is the final chapter for the summer season and I am happy to have made it this far since the first chapter, which was published way back in May 30, 2016. Also, as of 08/03/2016, Fate/Stay Gakuen has achieved 590+ reads, which is a big shock for me. I never expected that there will be people who are reading my material, let alone it being a fan-fiction. As a token of appreciation to my readers, I have made this chapter longer than my other chapters. Usually, I end each chapter between 1,700 to 2,000 words but this one is a whopping 4,200+ words.

I won't hold you guys any longer. Please, enjoy reading this final chaper of summer! Enjoy!

August 13, 2016 - Morning

"All right, everyone! Today, the Ryuudou Temple will be holding the Tanabata Festival!" Teacher Misa happily said to her students, clapping her hands together. "It's a perfect chance to make a wish and hang it on bamboo stilts!"

Today is the famous Tanabata Festival that will be held in the Ryuudou Temple. It's a festival where people write wishes on a wishing tag and hang it on bamboos, hoping that it will come true. It's quite famous for some women since they write wishes for the sake of their love lives.

The students started to talk about the Tanabata Festival. The guys were talking about what stalls are going to be put up in the temple grounds while the girls were talking about what kind of yukata patterns they will wear. Some were busy thinking on what they will wear in order to impress their crushes.

"If you all want to know, Mushajou-sensei and I will be attending the said festival!"

Some of the male students liked the idea of seeing their teachers in yukatas. Well, it's because Teacher Bou and Teacher Misa have one thing in common - big chests - and the girls didn't like the idea of the guys going to the festival just so they can see a pair of big breasts. Their firey demeanor spreads throughout the whole class.

"I hope to see some of you at Ryuudou Temple tonight. And with that, homeroom is dismissed," Teacher Misa gathers her stuff and walks out of the classroom.

"Hey, Suzu-chan, let's wear a yukata today," Marie squeals in happiness.

Hinako mechanically turns her head to look at Marie. "C-Can't I just go and wear casual clothes, Marie-san?"

"No can do, Suzu-chan!" Marie pouts. "Come on! It's just once and it doesn't hurt to wear a yukata again."

"I'm just not a big fan of yukatas. They're hard to wear and when you need to use the restroom, it's hard to do so," she releases an anime sweat-drop.

"Hey, I experience the same thing! Why don't I come over at your place and help you with your yukata?" Marie blushes at the thought, smiling.

Hinako ponders for a moment. Yes, she doesn't like to wear a yukata during festivals. Usually, she'd just wear her casual clothing since it's more comfortable than wearing a yukata. On the other hand, it's been a long time since she last wore one. The last time she did wear one was when she went to a festival with her parents back in Karakura City. Looking back on those happy memories made Hinako smile, since she liked going to festivals with her parents. Now, she was going with her friends. It felt nice to know that she's going to the festival with Marie and Fūrin.
