On the next day, the cultural festival continued as usual.
Whether it was Shishio’s movie, the cafe of his class, the anthology of the literature club, or the game created by everyone in the Sakurasou, everything related to Shishio became so famous that everyone talked about it.
Without a doubt, all of them became the main attraction of this year’s cultural festival.
Shishio’s name was famous, and everyone knew him, so the traffic at this year’s cultural festival was rather heavy. If the committee didn’t limit the number of visitors, this cultural festival would be so crowded that all the visitors might become a can of sardines.
As of now, Hikigaya wanted to cry without tears since his job was so busy, and he also couldn’t let his subordinates do the work all the time since he wasn’t that heartless.
Still, it was a good thing that Shishio was around, especially the school, which was happy about its popularity.
Suumei was a private school, after all, so it needed to maintain its reputation and popularity so that in the future, it wouldn’t have trouble searching for students.

However, watching the situation at the cultural festival, they knew that they didn’t need to have that trouble since, without a doubt, the name of their school would echo the country.
Still, while the school was happy, Shiina, Misaki, Nanami, Ritsu, Rita, and many others from Sakurasou were far from happy since Shishio didn’t return home yesterday. He had told them he would return in two hours, but until now, he didn’t return. They thought that he was with Haruno and spent a night with her, which made them sigh and get a bit annoyed.
Yet, somehow, they also felt quite worried since they had heard that Roberta had left so suddenly when she was resting in the apartment. She also didn’t say anything and just left, leaving everyone flabbergasted.
Even worse, they also couldn’t contact Roberta and Shishio. They also didn’t see his figure on the fourth day of the cultural festival, which made them even more worried, so they couldn’t help but approach Yukinoshita, who was the little sister of Haruno.
"She came to him last night?" Yukinoshita was surprised.
"Yes, can you call your sister? Where is Shishio?"
"Okay, let me call her." Yukinoshita also started to get worried, especially when either Roberta or Shishio couldn’t be contacted. To be honest, she also felt weird since Haruno didn’t come to the school, considering Haruno was also part of the committee.
Haruno might be an alumnus, but she had volunteered to help, so she was part of the committee. However, she was missing and didn’t come to the school without even notification or news, which made Yukinoshita unable to calm down.
"How is it?" Mai asked worriedly.
Yukinoshita looked at her phone before she sighed and shook her head. "No, she didn’t answer my phone."
What’s happening?
They felt confused since this was the first time something like this had happened.
"Anyway, if she calls me, I will tell all of you, but for now, how about you return to your exhibition since, unlike my club, your clubs and class need someone to attend, right?"𝒇𝚛e𝗲𝘸e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝙚𝒍. c૦𝒎
Yukinoshita felt worried, but at the same time, she felt weird, wondering whether Shishio and Haruno had stepped into the next relationship. While she couldn’t imagine such a thing would happen, she felt it was possible if the man was Shishio.
Frankly, she felt conflicted, but she didn’t think too much since it was impossible for her to stop him since she knew what kind of bastard he was. Still, she knew that she needed to talk with Shishio and Haruno since she wanted to know what would happen with their future relationship.
Unlike her, who would be married off to Shishio’s family, Haruno would be the future matriarch of the Yukinoshita family.
If Shishio and Haruno decided to be together, it would become quite complicated, especially with the name of their children.
"Okay, it can’t be helped."
While everyone was disappointed since they couldn’t contact Shishio or Haruno, they knew they couldn’t stay in this place all the time. The cultural festival still continued, and they needed to do their best until the last moment.
While Yukinoshita returned to the committee room, the rest also returned to the literature club, but the members of the Sakurasou were together and decided to buy ice cream from the vending machine where he usually stopped.
Even if this matter had been talked about, they couldn’t help but feel a bit restless since they knew that Shishio wasn’t someone that would break his promise. As long as he had made a promise, he wouldn’t break it.
This was why even if he was a scumbag, everyone believed in him.
As they bought ice cream, they sat on the bench absentmindedly before Ritsu asked, "Do you think there was an accident?"
"..."
"Ritsu!"
They looked at Ritsu with a frown since this girl suddenly said something inappropriate.
"Do you want him to be in the accident?" Nanami asked with a frown.
"No, of course not, but you know he has never broken his promise, right? Roberta-san can’t be contacted either. They also rode in the car, and you had heard from Yukinoshita-san that her sister loved to race, right? So... so..."
Ritsu couldn’t continue since her eyes were in tears at that moment.
"Stop! Stop! Let’s stop this talk!"
Misaki’s eyes were red, and she quickly stopped Ritsu from talking since she didn’t want to talk about this kind of matter either.
"Is Shishio alright?" Shiina asked with her plain voice, but one could tell how worried she was from her expression and voice.
"....."

No one could answer this question, and they fell into silence, hoping that Shishio would contact them soon.
As they ate their ice cream quietly, they decided to part since, in this cultural festival; they still had many things to do. However, from their expression alone, it was easy to tell that they couldn’t erase the worry in their hearts.
While they were worried, the cultural festival continued before long; it was almost over.
The cultural festival started at nine in the morning and closed at four in the evening.
Misaki was helping the literature club to take out the trash, but suddenly someone called her.
"Misaki!"
"!?"
Misaki was startled since she was familiar with this voice. She turned, and as expected, it was Mitaka. She felt a bit nervous at this moment since there were no people around them, and there was only her and Mitaka. If Shishio was in the school, she wouldn’t be nervous, but he wasn’t there.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, before she looked at Mitaka.
Even though they often saw each other at school, it was their first time talking like this after his outburst when he watched her anime with Shishio.
Mitaka also looked at Misaki, and he was stunned since he had to say she was more beautiful.
When she started to date Shishio, she wanted to appear beautiful all the time in front of him, so she also started to do make-up. She also started to dress up and did a facial care routine. More importantly, she was no longer a girl but a woman.
The beautiful flower had already bloomed, showing its most beautiful appearance.
However, it was unfortunate for Mitaka since this beautiful flower was already owned by someone.
"What’s wrong?"
When she asked this question, her voice was normal. It was like how she usually was as if nothing had happened.
Yes, she didn’t care about him anymore.
She thought that Mitaka was like that. He was his only acquaintance now, nothing more or less.
However, Mitaka thought differently. He thought she had forgiven her since she didn’t treat her indifferently.
"Misaki, I..."
Mitaka wasn’t sure whether he should say this, but he felt that he should say this, or else he might not have this chance anymore.
"I have been thinking of many things after I have parted from you, and I have realized what kind of feelings I have felt toward you. Misaki... I...."
Misaki looked at Mitaka lazily since she wasn’t in the mood to listen to Mitaka. Still, she felt it was good to clear up their relationship since she didn’t want Shishio to misunderstand her, but suddenly, her phone vibrated. She took her phone and saw that it was from Nanami. She didn’t look at Mitaka and answered the phone.
Mitaka was still nervous, and he didn’t even have time to look at Misaki. To be honest, he felt strange at that moment since he could seduce any women he wanted to, and he also had many experiences in life, but he was so nervous in front of Misaki, which made him realize how deep his feeling toward her was.
"Misaki, I lo—"
"Huh?!"
"Hmm?"
Misaki’s loud voice startled Mitaka, and he looked at her, who showed a panicked expression.
Misaki, who had heard the news from Nanami, didn’t care about Mitaka and quickly left, but how could Mitaka let her go?
"Wait, Misaki! I am not done yet!"
Mitaka was about to grasp her wrist, but Misaki dodged. "I am in a hurry! If you confess to me, then my answer is no! I am rejecting you!" She didn’t have time to humor Mitaka and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"........"
Mitaka was in a daze before he quickly asked, "Why? Don’t you love me? I love you! We love each other, right?" His voice was quite high, showing his frustration at her answer. He had tried to try his best to confess, but was this the result?
He was quite furious and wanted to grab Misaki, but her gaze caused him to flinch.
Misaki stopped and then looked at Mitaka with a frown. "Sorry, that’s the past. I love someone else now, so please don’t bother me anymore. You should also forget about me since I am sure it will be easy for you to get a new girlfriend, right?" She didn’t want to entangle Mitaka anymore since she heard Shishio was in the hospital because of an accident.
However, Mitaka could only stand stupidly in a place, staring at Misaki, who had gone.
By this point, he realized that Misaki was no longer there. She had left him, and she was owned by someone else now.
Yet, unexpectedly, his gaze wasn’t those of despair. Instead, it was filled with rage.
"Bitch...!"
Misaki could only be his, and he wouldn’t give her to anyone.
