After the Festival

Xue: The bustling food stalls, the impressive parade, and the beautiful fireworks. Beautiful girls in yukata having fun.

Xue: As promotional material, it's excellent. I must say, I've done a job that rivals the pros.

Xue: Heh. Should I consider becoming a cameraman for future gigs?

Ramona: Good thing there were many usable scenes. It's hard to believe it's an amateur's work.

Xue: Well, I borrowed the latest camera from the theater, and Hikari assisted me.

Hikari: No way, we were just having fun! Xue was the one who planned everything.

Xue: I received a generous payment from Koyomi-san. It's only natural that I work hard.

Hikari: Wasn't I getting in the way of filming? I got too carried away and had too much fun.

Xue: Not at all. The video turned out great, and I couldn't have done it alone.

Xue: The second half of the festival captured everyone's natural demeanor. It was awkward at first, but...

Xue: I think I was able to record some good footage because I put my guard down. It's all thanks to you guys covering for me.

Hikari: Gasp!

Hikari: Xue is kind...!

Xue: I simply spoke facts. Am I not usually kind?

Ramona: Looking at the video, Xue's expression seems to relax towards the end.

Ramona: Even during the shooting game, if Lilja had pressed the record button, we could've captured your cute embarrassed face.

Xue: Even if it had been captured, I would never use it as material. Or maybe, I'd ask the editors to edit it out.

Ramona: That's a pity, considering how it could attract more fans.

Ramona: By the way, where's that stuffed toy from back then?

Xue: Oh...

Xue: It's on the bed...

Hikari: There are two teddy bears, one big and one small! So cute~!

Hikari: This big white one was originally yours, right, Xue?

Xue: That's right. Its name is Báibái*.

Hikari: Wow! Hello, Báibái!

Hikari: It's so fluffy and comfy.

Ramona: It's so cute how you usually sleep with stuffed animals.

Xue: S-shut up.

Hikari: Then the small bear that Ramona picked up must be Báibái’s little sister, right!

Xue: Is it a girl?

Xue: It's a yellow bear, so let's call it Huánghuáng**.

Hikari: It's nice that your family has grown, Báibái!

Growl

Ramona: I thought Báibái replied for a moment there.

Xue: That’s an enthusiastic response.

Hikari: Well, I was focused on reviewing the video. We had practice in the morning, and it's almost dinner time, right?

Xue: There's still over three hours until dinner at the dormitory...

Xue: Hmph... Well, I guess I can't help it. It's a bit early, but I'll cook. How about hot pot?

Hikari: Yay! Of course!

Xue: Go ask if Finland and Koyomi-san want to eat too. I'll check the ingredients.

Xue: Well then, see you at the dining hall.


*白 (Bái) means white in Mandarin / Chinese, so the plushie's name is white white (Báibái).

**Like , 黄 (Huáng) means yellow. So that one's name is yellow yellow (Huánghuáng).
