Chapter 257: Countdown 3 Hours
Like most schools, the bonfire evening at St. Cronia High School is accompanied by a tiresome and boring legend.
The story goes like this.
It is said that at the 13th minute and 14th second of the bonfire being lit, if you embrace your beloved and say “I love you,” your love will last forever.
This also provides an excellent opportunity for confessions. According to the legend, at that precise moment, the chances of a successful confession will skyrocket (not applicable to the unattractive).
Yagi Miyuki learned about this legend from Sazawa Heifu, and now… he has decided to do this for Ninomiya-senpai.
Although he knows that given Ninomiya-senpai’s attitude towards him, even a phone call or a “online confession” would almost certainly not fail.
But women are emotional beings, and Ninomiya-senpai is no exception. Since he’s decided to go for it, he wants to give it his best with enough sincerity.
Although his motives aren’t pure, he doesn’t want to take Ninomiya-senpai lightly, especially since, if this confession goes well, they will likely maintain this relationship until marriage, barring any surprises.
However… it seems a bit difficult to get some alone time with Ninomiya-senpai at the bonfire evening.
“Brother, let’s watch the fireworks together at the bonfire evening tonight?”
Walking towards the temple of knowledge in the morning sun, Yagi Miyuki glanced at his sister hugging his arm beside him, his mouth slightly twitching.
Last night, he had reached a consensus with Yagi Sohyon, so the plan to fly to Germany was put on hold.
But this was under the premise that he promised to bring Michako back to her senses. If there’s no progress for a long time, Yagi Sohyon will definitely think he’s “pretending to repair the road while secretly marching through the bridge,” and then it won’t just be studying abroad in Germany; he might need to see an orthopedist first!

“Can we? Brother?”
Seeing Yagi Miyuki lost in thought, Michako blinked her big eyes, looking hopeful as she asked again.
“Uh…”
Yagi Miyuki was suddenly at a loss for words.
The so-called fireworks are prepared by the student council according to the legend. Uh… maybe they even made up this legend.
In short, at the 13th minute of the bonfire evening, fireworks will explode in the sky above the school, and at the 14th explosion, it’s the legendary time… 13 minutes and 14 seconds.
Such a tacky story. A high school that encourages romance is just too damn much. How can one focus on studying?
Now that his sister is bringing this up, she obviously knows about this legend too. But at that time, he’ll be busy confessing to Ninomiya-senpai—
“That won’t work.”
Yagi Miyuki decisively shook his head, “Have you forgotten? I have to work at the café tonight and can’t attend the bonfire evening.”
The morning and afternoon of the school festival are the same as the previous two days, with no special programs, while the bonfire evening starts at 8 PM, and attendance is optional.
Since he has decided to confess to Ninomiya-senpai, part-time work is no longer a priority, and he had already requested leave the day before when his shift ended.
Using this reason to refuse his sister is more than appropriate.
After all, if he said he planned to accompany Ninomiya-senpai, it would cause a big scene. If she followed him, it would be disastrous.
“Oh, right, you have work… that’s too bad.” Michako’s face fell, and she said disappointedly, “I wanted to watch the fireworks together with you, brother.”
“Maybe next time.”
I’m so foolish.

Yagi Miyuki thought to himself.
After establishing a relationship with Ninomiya-senpai, he plans to clear all ambiguous relationships and return to a normal life.
This time… no one can stop him!
“But I don’t have any plans for today, so I’ll accompany you this morning as compensation,” Yagi Miyuki offered proactively, to appease Michako.
“Really?”
“Yep.”
Seeing Michako’s smile, Yagi Miyuki inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. However, he soon became alert again.
Given the popularity of this damned legend, even Narase Mero must have heard about it, let alone Sakura Manyu and the others. He has just managed to handle his sister, but he can’t let his guard down yet.
…
“Hello? Narase-san?”
As the sun set, marking the last day of the school festival, Yagi Miyuki stood at the school gate, nervously answering a call from the mermaid lady.
He had just separated from Michako, who had clung to him all day, and Sakura Manyu, who joined halfway through, planning to find a quiet restaurant outside the school to have a three-hour dinner, then return to school near the start of the bonfire evening.
Just a moment ago, he was relieved to have avoided more obstacles. However, before he could rejoice, Narase Mero called.
“Yagi-sensei?”
Hearing the seemingly innocent and sweet voice of the mermaid lady from the phone, Yagi Miyuki dared not let his guard down and asked with forced calm, “Is there something you need?”
From yesterday’s situation, even if the mermaid lady hadn’t completely turned evil, she was probably not far off. Now speaking softly, she might already be showing a twisted smile on the other end of the phone!
“Can we watch the fireworks together tonight?”
Narase Mero asked directly, without beating around the bush, “I want to be with Yagi-sensei.”
“Sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t attend the bonfire evening later.”

Yagi Miyuki coolly repeated the same excuse he used with Michako, “Narase, you know I have a part-time job in the evening.”
“Oh, right…”
A murmur came from the other end of the phone, followed by silence. After a long pause, just as Yagi Miyuki was sweating and unsure of what to say next, Narase Mero’s voice rang out again, sounding faint, “So… you can’t tutor me today either, can you, Yagi-sensei?”
“…Yes.”
Yagi Miyuki reluctantly responded.
To be honest, he didn’t dare go to the mermaid lady’s house now. It would be like walking into a trap.
“Ding Ding~”
The call was silently ended, and Yagi Miyuki lowered his hand,
exhaling a long breath.
Leaving her hanging like this isn’t a solution; after tonight, he’ll find an opportunity to clear things up.
…
Unbeknownst to Yagi Miyuki, in a distant corner, two pairs of eyes were watching him intently.
“Yagi-nii has left the school.”
Sakura Manyu retracted her head peeking around the corner.
“It’s inevitable since he has to work, but it’s such a missed opportunity…”
Michako, also hidden behind the corner, puffed her cheeks and shrugged, then curiously looked at the blonde Lolita beside her, who was frowning in thought, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Sakura Manyu shook her head, seeming a bit uneasy, “I just have a bad feeling, but it’s probably just my imagination.”
