Bidding farewell to Suse, Kagura Hikaru stepped out of the courtyard.
On the way, he could encounter students who were still strolling around the school festival booths.
It was now evening, and most of the external visitors had left, leaving only the students still active within the school.
The fact that so many students were still at school at this time, and the booths hadn't closed, would normally be impossible.
By this time, families would have started cooking dinner at home, and even students devoted to their club activities would normally have gone home.
They remained here for one reason, of course, the existence of the post-festival night celebration.
The post-festival night celebration, an extension of the school festival, was a cultural festival at night that belonged exclusively to the students.
They would light a bonfire in the center of the playground and have a barbecue party with the teachers to celebrate the successful conclusion of the three-day festival.
