The day the school cultural festival was held on finally arrived. I was sitting in my classroom collecting tickets from guests as I scrolled down the news tab on my phone. It was at that moment that I realised that 'Robin Hood' was slowly getting more recognition from the public, though I still wouldn't consider 'Robin Hood' mainstream. 'Robin Hood' sure got more recognition, but not everyone was sure on the vigilante, some disapproved, while some acted supportive, as there were only a small amount of footage on 'Robin Hood', which is not enough to fully justify supporting this mysterious figure who only started appearing a few days ago.

"Hello (L/N)!" A cheery voice exclaimed over the loud, mainstream and repetitive music that was playing in the background.

I looked up from my phone and was greeted with Yasuda Nanako, the girl I saved from a while back, and her mother. I invited her mother and her to the school cultural festival the last time I visited them since the school wanted more people to visit.

"Hello to you as well, Yasuda." I replied as I waved at her.

Yasuda nodded before saying "So this is your classroom? I thought you said you guys had to theme it around 'Orion' the last time you came over."

Yasuda's mother clicked her tongue in disapproval before turning to face her daughter.

"Don't be rude, Nanako. They must have put quite the effort into making this, so don't just question them." Chastised her mother.

Yasuda's eyes darted around the classroom in boredom as her mother criticised her 'rude' behaviour. I couldn't blame her, in fact I personally think Yasuda did the right thing, our classroom didn't even resemble the theme 'Orion', it just resembled galaxy puke.

"I am so sorry for my daughter's behaviour, come on Nanako, apologise." Insisted her mother as she forced Yasuda to bow down as well.

"Don't bow! Yasuda did nothing wrong in my opinion. In fact, she's quite right to question this, after all this classroom doesn't even look like it's related to 'Orion'." I said as I used my hands to gesture around the classroom.

I faced Yasuda with a smile.

"Well, it's good to know that you still remember what I told you the last time I came over. To answer your question, yes, I tried to persuade my classmates to utilise the backstory of 'Orion', but they decided to just ignore me and spray paint everything galaxy. It's honestly a shame."

Yasuda nodded, then smiled at me.

"Well, look at the time, we have to leave now, thanks for the invitation, (L/N), we appreciate it." Interrupted her mother.

"Really mom? Do we have to leave now?" Asked Yasuda as she looked up at her mother.

"Yes, we do."

Yasuda shook her head in disappointment then waved at me saying goodbye.

I immediately waved back at her, then her mother took her hand and they left the classroom altogether.

Strangers stared at me in concern as I sat on a bench whilst tapping my foot repeatedly in a rhythmic pattern on the ground.

It was after the school cultural festival and I was waiting for a certain individual to arrive. I looked back and forth from my surroundings to my watch only to realise that Nakamura seemed to have ditched me for some reason, he ditched ice cream? What happened to the ice-cream loving emo boy?! Did I do something that pissed him off?

After waiting for another ten minutes and not seeing someone resemble a teenager called Nakamura Jun, I decided to leave since I didn't have all the time in the world. It honestly felt weird just leaving like this since I clearly remember the day Nakamura and I agreed on the deal where I would buy him ice cream in return for Mizuno's phone.
