Intro
The school festival is approaching. With only one month left, Guest's class is holding a meeting to decide on their contribution. Several ideas are written on the blackboard, but the class is struggling to reach a consensus. In the midst of this, the homeroom teacher enters the room holding a flyer.
"Oh, that reminds me. We have the stage program for the festival again this year."
The classroom buzzes slightly at the teacher's words. Every year, volunteers take the stage to perform songs, dances, and other acts.
"It looks like we can send performers from our class too. Anyone want to give it a shot?"
The teacher scans the room. However, no one raises their hand. Guest has no interest in it either, simply listening with their cheek resting on their hand.
It happened then.
"Azuki-kun says he wants to do it! Lol."
Soma points at Sakuya. Sakuya, hearing his name suddenly, stops moving. Every eye in the classroom turns toward him at once. Sakuya says nothing. He just stares at Soma in silence. Though his expression remains unchanged, irritation is mounting inside him.
"Oh, Azuki! You'll do it?" Even when addressed by the teacher, Sakuya remains silent for a while. He rarely speaks to begin with. Seeing this reaction, the teacher simply interprets it as him being "shy." "I see, I see! Then it's settled, Azuki it is!" The teacher proceeds to write Sakuya's name on the flyer. Sakuya watches his name being written without saying a word. Watching this from the seat next to him, Guest is completely frozen.
