"Welcome to our booth." Said the standing guard staff
"God..." Ayaka
.
Previously Russell had managed to invite Ayaka to go to an osis stand that sells a variety of drinks. Although at first Ayaka refused to go around with him, but in the end he agreed.
.
"Wahh, there are so many kinds of drinks." Ayaka
"Yup, that's why bring you here." Russell
"Please take a look at the menu list first." The Osis Staff
"There's a lot of menus.that's why I want matcha latte." Ayaka
"Okay matcha latte 1." The Osis Staff
.
After waiting for a while, the matcha latte was finally ready, and Russell immediately paid for the matcha latte while Ayaka was sitting waiting outside.
"Please matcha lattenya. It's 200 yen in total." The Osis Staff
"OKAY. Here it is 200 yen." Russell
"Thank you for buying at our booth.." The Osis Staff
.
After getting his matcha lattenya, Russell immediately approached Ayaka and gave him a matcha latte.
"Here comes Ayaka." Russell
"Eh- ma-thank. So how much total?" Ayaka
"What's wrong, I'm buying matcha lattenya." Russell
"Emm.. okay. t-but why don't you buy it too?" Ayaka
"Ah that, I don't need. I can buy it later too." Russell
"Emm.." Ayaka
"Ehh.. That's what if we continue to tour the festival?" Russell
"Come.." Ayaka
"Okay, if that's what let's try to get there." Russell
.
Russell and Ayaka immediately headed to the field area. Because there are many interesting stands that they can visit without having to spend a free alias.
"Wahh. many stands that seem interesting.." Ayaka
"Yup, where are you going now?" Russell
"There's a game stand as well." Ayaka
"the game? Oh, who was kayaking at the fireworks festival that time." Russell
"Where do we go there?" Ayaka
"OK on come on." Russell
.
Russel and Ayaka chose to visit a 3-3 class stand that makes a traditional game project with exciting prizes on offer.
"Welcome to the class 3-3 stand. Here we make a lot of traditional games that can make you nostalgic childhood." Staff of class 3-3

"Yosh, so how many sets do you want to play?" Staff of class 3-3
"1 set of it." Russell
"Ok 1 set for 2 people huh." Staff of class 3-3

"Yosh's.. Thank you for visiting our class.. Enjoy the festival.." Staff of class 3-3
.
After playing and getting a gift from a traditional game stand grade 3-3, Russel and Ayaka further go exploring other parts of the school's cultural festival, they go around the field, trying out various other culinary delights, and also visit some other class booths that catch their attention. Traveling around long enough to make them quite tired and not aware that the day began to approach dusk.
"Hahh.. tired also ya go around the cultural festival all day, but fun anyway." Ayaka
"Yes, now there is still some time left, before the closing ceremony of the announcement of the winner of the school culture festival category." Russell
"Hmm.. So where are we going?" Ayaka
"Hmm.. Where else is it..?" Russell
.
Suddenly from behind them.
"Hoi Cell, Ayaka." Michael said
"Eh? Michael is the same as Wisang." Russell
"During time I didn't see the cell." Wisang
"Yes yes, 3 days we are busy taking care of our respective class projects." Russell
"Where are you going?" Michael said
"We've been going around cultural festivals all day, and now we're confused about where else to go." Russell
"Oh yaudah, if so we wait for the announcement of the category in the field. It just so happens that we're going there too." Michael said
"Hmm can be. I want to finish the cultural festival today." Russell
"Okay, let's get to the field.." Michael said
"Yoo.." Wisang
.
In the end the four of them decided to go to the field and wait for the announcement of the winner of the school culture festival stand category. In the middle of the journey to the field, they cross paths with Mikael and Miko who appear to be walking while carrying some food in his hand.
"Ah that's Miko." Ayaka
"Oh yes, Oi Mik!" Russell
"You guys are here too." Mikael
"Walah pantesan did not meet from yesterday, you are both mulu." Michael said
"Finally met you too Mik." Wisang
"Hmm. Where have you been all day." Mikael
"Yes, just keep the stand of each class first, keep going around the festival deh." Michael said
"Yes I'm the same." Mikael
"Yes yes." Michael said
"Udah don't make a fuss. Just so it's been all gathering, yaudah let's go there, because it has started to gather into the field all." Russell
"Yes, it's a real race here." Mikael
.
Once they get a good enough place to watch the announcement that will start soon. They started talking about a few things.
"Well, good work for all of us for 3 days." Russell
"Yes, we all work hard. Not sure if the cultural festival will be around any minute." Michael said
"Smuck it, but it's exciting too." Wisang
"We learned a lot from this cultural festival. Mikael
"I'm gonna miss this year's school culture festival." Ayaka
"I am too." Miko
"Well, wherever we all give our best." Russell
"Yes." Yeah." Mikael
.
"announcement.. To all students are welcome to immediately close the stand of each class, and are allowed to immediately to the field area. Because soon will be held our closing event, the announcement of the winner of the cultural festival stand category that has been held for 3 days." Staff Say
.
The announcement of the winner of the school culture festival stand category will be announced soon. This time there are 5 nominations that can be won, namely potency stand, the most popular stand, the best-selling stand, the most unique stand, and the best stand.
"Duh.I got nervous. Which class will be the winner of the category." Ayaka
"Well, we can only hope." Russell
"Your classes are actually quite good, the maid cafe is quite unique at the gini cultural festival." Michael said
"I also agree, yesterday I was going to visit your class stand as well." Wisang
"Eh? When?" Russell
"In the afternoon, before you go home. I bought some menus at your cafe, and they taste pretty good, too." Wisang
"Yes, yesterday I went to your classroom cafe with Wisang as well." Michael said
"Thank God it tastes good." Ayaka
"Ohh, that's what it looks like." Russell
"Pantesan no look, the datengnya fit afternoon. The three of us got the morning shift." Mikael
"But your class ghost house is also great. Make Mikael run away scared." Russell
"Not scared. But I'm shocked." Mikael
"Haha.at that time it was really fitting for me to be a ghost, suddenly the Mikael even ran in front of me." Wisang
"Mik, Mick. Next time don't run away, it could be dangerous." Michael said
"Hmmm.." Mikael
"Miko's class drama theater is also good." Ayaka
"Yes, and really at that time Miko appeared as well. Although the ending of the drama is a bit sad, but the whole thing is good." Russell
"Ma-thank you, thank goodness it's good." Miko
"Hahh. I get confused as to who will win. All classes have a good stand, there is an advantage of its own, I think this will be fierce." Michael said
"Yes, all classes have good potential." Russell
"Oh yeah, by the way where is Rafael?" Mikael
"Well yeah, I don't know where he is anymore." Wisang
"I don't know either." Michael said
"Alright without lingering again, just go straight because the field has begun to crowded. We will begin, our last event of the 3-day series of school culture festivals. Announcement of the winner of the category of potential stand, the most popular stand, the most unique, the best selling, and the best!!" MC who is hosting the event
"WOOOOO!!!!" Speak the entire field very enthusiastic
"This is his announcement. Good luck with all our classes." Russell
"Yosh, good luck everything." Wisang
"I get nervous at times when I think it is good." Mikael
"Kalem aja Mik, set the breath. Don't think too much." Michael said
"Look easy Mik." Russell
"OK.so before we generalize, we must know first, what the hell is the meaning of these five categories of winners. It is divided into 5 categories, namely:
Potential stand category. Is a category that will be won by a class that has a stand with the product that most attracts the attention of many visitors, although the income is not as much as other class stands.
The most popular stand category. Is a category that will be won by a class that has a stand with the most positive or negative response among all other class stands.
Category stand unique. Is a category that will be won by a class that has a stand with the most unique products and concepts assessed from the response of visitors, as well as the decision of the jury from the school osis.
Best selling stand category. Is a category that will be won by the class that has the stand with the most income and the number of visitors is quite crowded from all other class stands.
Best stand categories. Is a category that will be won by a class that has the best stand among all other class stands. The assessment will be based on the survey and response of all visitors, judging teachers and school osis. As well as the four previous stand categories will be able to influence the assessment of the best stand category.
Well that's the fifth category that will be announced soon." Staff Say
"Hahh, I'm so impatient." Mikael
"Calm down, Mik, be patient." Russell
.
"OK without lingering again, just go straight. The winners of the potential stand category at this year's school culture festival are...
Classes.. 1-3!!" Staff Say
"Huh? 1-3?! Miko you won!!" Mikael
"Wahh!! Congratulations Miko!!" Ayaka
"Ma-thank you everyone.." Miko
"Nice, cool cool cool.." Russell
"Well, that's good for the drama." Michael said
"I think class 1-3 deserves to win the potential category." Wisang
"Well.the class 1-3 managed to win this category because it was like the assessment factor itself. Classes 1-3 we see have a lot of potential that can be shown at this year's school culture festival. Although their income is not the largest, they attract a lot of visitors with the theater they perform." Staff Say
.
"Next is the announcement of the most popular stand category." Russell
"About which class wins." Mikael
"Okay.next is the most popular stand category. Let's announce it without any more delay. Congratulations to the class... 1-1 with the haunted house project!!" Staff Say
"WHAT?! We won?!" Michael said
"Yoshh my hard work is not in vain.." Wisang
"Nice Mich, Wis. it's so cool of you guys." Russell
"Congratulations Michael, Wisang.." Ayaka
"The 1-1 class haunted house stand seems to attract very much attention of visitors of this year's school culture festival for the past 3 days. It's so scary, and so cool. Congratulations to class 1-1!!!" Staff Say
"This is more interesting than I thought." Mikael
.
.
.
"Then, next is the category of stand unique. Just go ahead without lingering, congratulations to the class.. 2-2 with the gashapon project!!!" Staff Say
"Gee, our upperclassman won." Russell
"But it's really interesting that their product is gashapon." Mikael
"Yes yes." Ayaka
"Class 2-2 managed to win this category because of their very unique idea in making a cultural festival project, the gashapon. It's very unusual at this year's school culture festival. Congratulations to class 2-2!!" Staff Say
"I can't wait for the next winner." Wisang
.
"Okay.next is the best-selling stand category. As before without lingering again just go ahead. congratulations to the class. 1-2 with the maid cafe project!!!" Staff Say
"We won?!" Mikael
"YOSHHAHAY!!" Russell
"Well, you won Ayaka." Miko
"L-yes, thank you.." Ayaka
"Class 1-2 won the best-selling category. As they earn the most revenue at this year's school culture festival, it seems that their maid cafe is a magnet for festival goers. By offering a varied menu and a taste that is commensurate with the price installed makes them get this position. Congratulations to class 1-2!!!" Staff Say
"We all have our own categories. I didn't think this would happen." Michael said
"Yes me too." Wisang
.
"And without lingering any longer, just go ahead. Here he is the winner of the best stand at the school culture festival this year.. 1.. -2!!!" Staff Say
"We won again?!" Mikael
"That's really cool." Michael said
"I didn't expect it.." Russell
"Geez. Congratulations Cell, Mik, and Ayaka." Wisang
"Happy.." Miko
"Thank you Miko.." Ayaka
"Grades 1-2, you have exceeded our expectations, from who considers that the maid cafe is just an absurd idea, he said, but you proved it to all of us customers and the entire school. You deserve the title of the best stand of the cultural festival this year!! Congratulations to class 1-1!!" Staff Say
.
"Well, this is really the best cultural festival." Russell
.
.
.
After that Russell, Ayaka, Mikael, along with all the winning classes of the school culture festival category took to the stage for the awarding of the prize and the winning charter.
Everything went as expected. After taking pictures and distributing gifts, finally the whole series of school culture festival events this year has been completed.
The official school culture festival has been completed. Lastly, the school band again gave their final appearance as a symbol of the closing of the school's cultural festival this year.
Russel, Ayaka, Mikael, Miko, Michael, Wisang, and Rafael soon return to their respective classes to pack up their belongings and clear up classes from their 3-day projects throughout this year's festival. What a fun trip.
.
Eventually it gets dark, and Russell and Ayaka seem to be getting back together again for the day.
"You going home now Ayaka?" Russell
"Okee. come.." Ayaka
"Well, no doubt, the cultural festival is over." Russell
"It's really exciting, although tired as well." Ayaka
"Yes, I will remember this moment for the rest of my life, let alone fitting our class win the best stand category." Russell
"Yes, I wasn't surprised and excited." Ayaka
"Well, you're really." Russell
.
They walked while chatting, and unwittingly they had reached in front of Ayaka's house.
"Well, thank you, Cell." Ayaka
"Either. Oh yes - Ayaka." Russell
"Eh-uh? Why?" Ayaka
"Here.I want to give you this." Said Russell, he handed the small parcel to Ayaka.
"Eh? Ma-thank you.." Ayaka
"It's like I'm going home first.." Russell
"Oh.. I-yes. Be careful, yeah.." Ayaka
"Yoo.." Russell
.
.
.
"Hahh. in the end everything went well huh. thank God.." Russell
.
.
.
Meanwhile, when he arrived at his room. Ayaka opened the package given by Russell earlier.
"Eh? Fox keychain? There is also a letter." Ayaka
'Sorry Ayaka I couldn't bring you in during the second day of the cultural festival, but instead it was a fox keychain that I found fitting into a 2-2 class gashapon stand. Hope you like the gift..'
- Russell
"Hmm. So yeah, thank goodness you're sober.." Saying Ayaka, she unconsciously let out tears.
.
