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).
