>Oh.
>Got it!
>She's being
>considerate...

p8
>Ah~
>I had a feeling things were gonna get and dragged Sakata-san away in a panic, but I didn't think of what to do next.

>...
>...I should talk about something...

>Man, that girl at the 2nd years' yakisoba stand.
>She was as pretty as the rumors said.
>I ended up buying some too.

>Shida Naori.
>This voice...

p9
>Mikage-san...
>Wait, what are you doing!?
>Isn't it obvious? I'm making yakisoba.
>Eeeh...?

>My class is doing a food stall and I had no choice but to help out.
>We got some reservation orders so I'm making them now.
>Reservations at a yakisoba stall...!?

>But I'm surprised... to see Mikage-san taking part in the campus festival.
>I don't see anyone else around. They didn't dump all the work on her, did that...?

>I hear you're doing a cocktail stand with Hinata.
>Heh!?

>Are you doing okay?

p10
>...Yes.
>We're being careful so she doesn't touch any alcohol.

>...I see.

>Please look after her.
>...Despite how she looks, she is my master.

>...Right.

>Take a few yakisobas with you.
>Woah.
>As a pick-me-up.

p11
>Eat it with that timid Sakata descendant over there.
>Eh!?
>>afterimage

>Wait, Sakata-san!? When did you get there!?

>She's probably not brave enough to talk to me.
>But still, when did you two get to know each other?

>You just keep drawing them to you one by one.
>Is this part of a bartender's charm too?

>...
>...I wonder about that...

p12
>>Classmates~
>...So? Have you finished shopping, everyone?
>Y-Yes! We got everything as you requested, Ibuki-san!

>...That must have been hard work.
>Thank you.

>If I'm gonna do this, I wanna sell out.
>Let's have a good two days.
>>Hnnnng...

>Unsurprisingly, Mikage
>Yesh...
>She really knows how to twirl those spatulas...
>displayed her leadership(?) as a member of Ibuki Group's management.

>Um...
>Was that... the next Ibaraki-doji?
>That's right.
>Which means...
>Shida-san!

p13
>I heard from Hinata-san! You're doing a cocktail stand, right?
>Do your best! I'll come by for a drink!
>Here's a flyer for our live show!
>Th-Thank you very much.

>Ah, it's the famous Shida-san!
>These are beef skewers our circle are selling! Have some with Hinata!
>Thanks...

>Ah, Hinata's partner-chan!
>Partner...!?
>Could it be
>Naori-senpai is...
>Huh? Was I wrong?
>Whatever. You're doing a cocktail stand, right~? Have a sample from our stand too~

>Really popular!?
>So admirable!
>>stacked
>No, that's definitely wrong!!
>Most of them only know me because of Hinata-san.

>Honestly, how troublesome! Must be because Hinata-san's spreading rumors.
>But she seems happy about it...

p14
>>Musical Research Society

>Hey, Yukie~ Do we have the mint liqueur?
>I asked Isuzu-chan to order it, so it should be there... Could you check for me, Machiko?
>Okay~

>Machiko~ Did you submit those documents to the festival committee?
>Ah.

>Ah~ About that...
>>Mint Liqueur

p15
>Hmm...

>Isn't 300 yen a glass too cheap?
>It's a campus festival price.
>>Cocktail 300 yen

>Eh~?
>You think so...

>...It seems Isuzu caused you trouble the other day.

>I know you're probably not that interested... but I'll apologise on her behalf. Sorry.

>...Who told you?
>It's creepy how you learned about it so fast.
>Hey, that hurts.
>Isuzu seemed a little off, so she told me just a little about what happened... The rest is guesswork.
>I am the one who invited her to the festival, after all.

p16
>I know I was being kinda pushy, but I just assumed things would work out...
>...That was naive of me.

>...It's fine.
>Naori comforted me, after all.
>Right now, I'd rather enjoy the festival!

>...I see.

>...But still, Naori
>is a really good girl.

>...Hey!
>Don't go stealing her, okay!?
>No no.
>I won't.
>I won't.

p17
>What I wanted to say was... well, she may be poking her nose in a little too much,
>but Naori's existence is really valuable!

>You Ibuki ogres have been stuck in that Ibuki Building for a long time, so you may not know this,
>but humans like Naori... are few and far between in this world.

>There's sure a lot of customers who want to sit in front of Naori.
>If you don't want anyone to take that seat, you'd better make a reservation.

>...Well, I have my own seat that I need to take, though...

>Wait, woah!?
>>Heave ho

>That's a lot of stuff you're carrying!
>You okay!?

p18
>Reservation...

>It's finally done...

>The refreshment stand is all set up~!!

>Lovely!
>Wah...
>It's like a real bar!
>Let's tweet about it once construction's finished.

p19
>The exhibit next to the refreshment stand is done too!
>>VerYuri's 20 Year Dream
>>Exhibit Posters
>Oh...
>My word...

>Now we've just gotta wait for it to begin!
>No!

>Not yet...
>It's still missing something...
>Hehehe...
>Explode, my ego that's been up all night making finishing touches...!!
>That's a scary look, Miss Representative~

>?

p20
>Ooh~!

>What is this!? Amazing! It's a perfect replica of VerYuri!
>It's so dazzling. Awesome awesome awesome~
>I've been lacking sleep thanks to that...

p21
>That really suits you, Naori!
>You too, Hinata-san.

>You're cute too, Isuzu.
>It's hard to swing my katana in this...
>Cute.
>I'm so happy.

>With this, everything's finally ready!

>Let's give this campus festival our all!
>Yeah!!

>It's finally begun...

p21
>The campus festival...!

p22
>Hinata-san, two more of A, please!
>Right!

>Watanabe-san, got an order for a C!
>Comin' up!

>Here you go.
>Thank you!

>Sakata-san, could you manage the line?
>R-Right!

>Oooh...

p23
>Eh~? Is it B orders of the 2 cocktail...?
>Man, we're really popular!

>Is VerYuri that popular~?
>Please form two lines!
>The line for the exhibit is getting longer too!

>It's probably because there aren't many other stalls selling alcohol...

>I need to keep them coming too...

>Woah. This mint liqueur's running low.

p24
>I'm done sorting the lines!
>Need me to do anything else?
>Good work.
>Ah, in that case...

>Could you fetch more mint liqueur from the stockpile?
>Understood!

>...Huh?

>Oh? What's wrong, Isuzu-chan?
>Ah... I can't find the mint liqueur stock...

>Eh? It's not there?
>It's the stuff that you ordered so it should be there...

>A LINE from Sumire-senpai...
>A request to order mint liqueur...

p25
>Sakata-san?
>Did you find the liqueur?

>Naori-senpai...

>It seems that I forgot...
>to order the mint liqueur...
