All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

Chapter 95: The School Festival, Bocchi Dream and Maid Kazuma

"This timely concern is so cunning, it will make people moved!" (in Russian)

"What did Kujou-san just say?"

"I said that sweets really do help improve one's mood."

"I see."

"Truly clueless." (in Russian)

Yukima Azuma almost blurted out a perfect Russian reply.

His language skill level is Lv6, don't mess with him!

His pronunciation might even be better than Alya, that silver-haired girl.

But Yukima Azuma still held back.

Pretending not to know would make things more interesting later.

"Yukima! Come over here, the suit is ready."

"You're really not treating me like a human!"

From another direction, Kunimi Yuuma called out loudly.

Yukima Azuma, frustrated, raised his fist.

Alya looked up.

Everyone in the class was holding a black outfit, resembling a butler costume with a tail.

The theme of Class 1-E's school festival was a butler café.

In other words, this was the reverse version of a maid café.

The main reason this plan was approved was mainly due to Yukima Azuma's existence.

More importantly, when the vote for the plan took place, Yukima Azuma had taken a day off.

"You guys should act like humans! How can you decide something like this without even consulting me!"

Yukima Azuma tried to resist.

"Minority obeys the majority!"

Eriri immediately chimed in.

She also wanted to see Yukima Azuma wear the butler outfit.

"Azuma-san, our Class 1-E is a democratic class, you know."

Kato Megumi calmly added the final blow.

"Even Megumi too?"

Yukima Azuma felt like he had been stabbed in the back.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Yukima Azuma was holding the butler outfit, looking bored but still trying it on, while Alya couldn't help but laugh.

The things that had been bothering her seemed to be alleviated after a good laugh.

It wasn't so bad losing this time. She just needed to be more serious next time.

....

The School Festival

The school festival is an essential part of school life in Japan.

It usually lasts for three days.

During this time, the school opens its doors to visitors and allows outsiders to register and attend.

Most high schools hold their school festivals at the same time.

This is also a rare opportunity to interact between schools.

It's often seen as the start of the summer break.

And it's a colorful, beautiful part of the memories of school youth.

Of course, this only applies to extroverted and popular people.

As for introverts, like the "ghosts of the classroom"...

"School festival... huh."

Gotoh Hitori stood in front of the school's Shuka festival poster, looking sorrowful.

Since middle school, Gotoh Hitori had dreamed of participating in a school festival.

She wanted to stand on the school festival stage and perform once.

In fact, the main reason she learned to play the guitar was for this.

If she could stand on the school festival stage and shine with an excellent performance.

Then she would become the center of attention in the entire school!

That was the final dream Gotoh Hitori had during her school days.

However, since she started learning guitar, three years of high school had passed.

She still didn't have the courage to sign up for a performance at the school festival.

Just the thought of so many people watching her from below the stage made Gotoh Hitori want to crawl into a hole and hide from the embarrassment.

At this point, she no longer dreamed of being the most beloved person in the school.

She only wanted to perform once on the school festival stage.

That way, she would have no regrets.

However, Gotoh Hitori still lacked confidence.

Even though she had joined Kessoku Band,

She had performed twice at the STARRY live house.

But the space there was really too small to accommodate many people.

More importantly, there was no one she knew there.

As for the school festival... the audience under the stage would be her entire class.

Just thinking about it made her scared.

Gotoh Hitori shivered.

She then turned around, preparing to quietly head home.

Next time, she would definitely try!

She was just starting high school, there was still over two years left!

However, she had also had this same thought back in middle school, and in the end, she graduated without ever following through.

Just as Gotoh Hitori was about to step out of the school gates,

Her phone buzzed.

She took it out to check.

It was the Kessoku Band chat group on Line.

They were probably discussing the school festival participation, right?

With that thought, Gotoh Hitori opened the chat.

Azuma: [Her school dream is to participate in the school festival and perform on the school stage once.]

Azuma: [So let's help her achieve her dream, in exchange, I can introduce some commercial performance opportunities for Kessoku Band.]

Kita: [Huh? Really? Yukima-san, you don't have to pay us anything, we'll definitely help!]

Nijika: [That's right, because it's Bocchi-chan's dream, it's also Kessoku Band's dream!]

Ryo: [Yukima, just be our manager! That way Kessoku Band will have an easier time making income.]

Nijika: [Ryo! Don't be so rude!]

Bocchi: [Huh!? Huhh!?]

Nijika: [Bocchi-chan has appeared! Bocchi-chan, go sign up, we'll go up on stage with you!]

Kita: [That's right, let's use our Kessoku Band name! Let's hit the stage!]

Ryo: [Gambare, Gambare!]

Gotoh Hitori stared at the chat interface, unable to speak due to the shock.

Why was Yukima in the Kessoku Band chat... Wait a minute! The important thing is, how did Yukima know she wanted to participate in the school festival!?

"Is it really... telepathy!?"

Gotoh Hitori exclaimed in amazement, starting to stammer.

Looking at the situation in the chat,

It was clear they hadn't discussed anything with her.

Everything had already been decided, and they had even started choosing songs for the performance.

Her dream suddenly felt so close.

Gotoh Hitori felt a little flustered, almost as if she had received an unexpected gift from the sky.

Her thoughts became a mess.

Unconsciously, her fingers opened a conversation with Yukima.

When Gotoh Hitori didn't know what to do, her first reaction was to ask Yukima for advice.

She typed out a message, then deleted it.

Deleted and then retyped.

In the end, Bocchi sent just one line.

Bocchi: [Azuma-kun, someone like me, can I really perform on stage?]

Azuma: [What are you saying, Bocchi? Aren't you a "guitar hero"?]

Bocchi: [But when I face the audience, I get so scared I can't even open my eyes.]

Azuma: [It's okay.]

Bocchi: [Even if you say that, Azuma-kun.]

Azuma: [When you get on stage, Bocchi, you'll find yourself again. The school festival will be busy, but I'll find time to cheer for you.]

Bocchi: [I... I'll try my best!]

When she saw Yukima Azuma say he would find time to cheer her on,

Gotoh Hitori suddenly became determined.

She had to get on stage!

Not just for her own dream.

But just to play the guitar for him to hear.

She had to get on stage!

...

Looking back at Bocchi's messages,

Yukima Azuma smiled.

He really couldn't bear to watch Gotoh Hitori be alone.

The sight of her sitting alone on a swing in the park.

It made Yukima Azuma feel like he had seen it before.

It seemed like he had also sat alone on a swing in an empty park, without swinging.

Then, Yukima Azuma met Kasumigaoka Utaha-senpai.

And then, that familiar feeling led Yukima Azuma to approach Bocchi.

He pulled her off the still swing.

If Bocchi didn't want to make friends, Yukima Azuma definitely wouldn't interfere.

But still, she longed for someone to step into her world.

Yet, she remained alone.

Even though Yukima Azuma didn't like interfering in others' affairs, he didn't want to leave her alone...

In the end, he'd push her onto the stage.

He'd let Bocchi step into the light that was meant for her.

Just a little push.

The rest, Bocchi and Kessoku Band would handle.

They would follow the path that had already been set.

With their music, they would draw special notes across the sky of Tokyo.

And so, the school festival officially began.

.....

On Friday.

"Hey, you guys understand what youth is, right?"

Yukima Azuma struggled to hold back his laughter as he spoke those empty words.

It was as if his face was about to write the two characters "Really serious."

At that moment, Yukima Azuma was dressed in a black, form-fitting tuxedo paired with custom-made trousers.

Underneath, he wore a white school uniform shirt from Toyogasaki Academy. His hair was slicked back and styled with gel, giving him a refined, sophisticated look.

This appearance truly resembled the protagonist of a shoujo manga.

From seven-year-old girls to forty-year-old housewives, no one could meet this boy without feeling their heart flutter.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Yukima Azuma were to join the male host of a club, after just three months, the sales could surpass one billion yen.

Many girls would likely lose themselves and spend their fortunes on him.

And standing in front of a young man like that were two mischievous friends, dressed in maid uniforms—Sato Kazuma and Kunimi Yuuma.

These two troublemakers had caused the most commotion when voting for the class's theme.

They had secretly teamed up with classmates, keeping the idea of a butler café a secret from Yukima Azuma.

If these two troublemakers ended up getting their way, it definitely wouldn't be Yukima Azuma's style!

So, on preparation day, the boy in the tuxedo stood in front of his classmates and made a suggestion.

Since they had decided to make it a butler café, it couldn't just be about having good-looking guys.

They had to showcase their own unique traits.

With his good looks, Yukima Azuma had charmed almost everyone in the class.

Thus, this scene unfolded.

Yukima Azuma stood before the two troublemakers and talked about youth.

"What the hell is youth! Yukima! Are you even human!?"

"Kazuma! How dare you talk! Who here is actually a person!"

"You're so handsome, what's wrong with using your looks!"

"I think you'd look great in a maid uniform too! What's wrong with taking advantage of that!"

It must be said, Sato Kazuma, with his slim frame, looked surprisingly fitting in the maid uniform and wig, without a hint of awkwardness.

Yukima Azuma casually picked up two pineapple buns from the table.

"Here, this is for you, consider it compensation."

Yukima Azuma said as he pointed to Sato Kazuma's chest.

Sato Kazuma lunged forward, intending to pull Yukima Azuma down with him.

Sato Kazuma fell, and Yukima Azuma easily caught him.

"Alright, Kazuma, winner takes all, loser takes the fall."

Kunimi Yuuma was the type of person who had a psychological game plan.

Once he teased someone, he was prepared to be teased back!

(Note: Exactly, I hate people who are fine with teasing others, but get angry when they themselves are teased.)

Unlike Sato Kazuma, Kunimi Yuuma was the captain of the basketball club. He was not only tall but had a giant frame.

The traditional maid uniform he wore was given a distinctly masculine touch when Kunimi Yuuma wore it.

Sato Kazuma, who was held by Yukima Azuma, could only face the reality.

Damn it, winner takes all, loser takes the fall!

After realizing the truth, Sato Kazuma stood up.

But through the window of the classroom door, he saw a long line of people waiting outside.

Sato Kazuma almost wanted to jump out of the back window.

One could die physically, but you couldn't die in the eyes of society!

Kazuma could only cry silently.
