girl, and left the room and into the hallway without looking back.
    The moment the two of them exited out into the hallway, I heard Haruka scream, “Uwaaaah!” Just like how it was with me, it was probably because he hadn’t noticed the girl’s presence.
    Letting go of my controller, I stared dumbfounded in the direction of the door that they had left through.
    It almost felt like I’d been deceived by a fox.
    A ghost girl with a psychic ability, and a boy who wouldn’t stop smiling ….
    Even if I told this story to someone, I’d probably be cut off in a single stroke with, “You watch too much anime.”
    Just as I expected, Haruka burst into the room and, also just as I expected, he said this,
    “Was that girl here this whole time!? I didn’t even notice at all!”
    “Wasn’t she ….? I mean, look ….”
    I pointed at the display screen that showed the records of the close match that the girl had fought with me.

    Around 12:00, after the morning passed, the school became enveloped by fragrant aromas.
    Seeing as how this was the hour that food and drink-type booths like cafés and food stalls were most active, it was the most ideal time for attraction-type booths like us to take our break.
    Exiting the dark Science Preparation Room, I hung up a sign that said, “On break until 1:00” on the outside of the door so that Haruka and I could go out and have lunch together.
    I’d challenged about a dozen other people during the morning, and being blessed with honest, normal customers after that boy and girl, we were able to make it until noon without any further problems.
    “I was really worried about how the first hour would go ….. At first, I was convinced that you only picked out weird customers to bring in.”
    “Ehh!? Th-that’s not true! I just introduced the booth to whoever happened to pass by, that’s all …..”
     
    The space spread out in front of the main entrance was crowded with food stands in the middle of setting up, filled with blue tarp and cardboard.
    From yakitori to hot dogs, and French fries to yakisoba and more, all the colored signboards helped to work up an appetite.
    As I walked with Haruka while looking back on the morning’s events, I spotted a lunch area to the right side of the front gate where we could sit down and eat what we’d buy.
    “Ah, how about going over there for lunch? We eat in the classroom every day, so every once in a while it’s ….. hey, wait!!”
    “Mn? Mmwut?”
    Before I’d even noticed, Haruka was standing there with his arms full of food, and eating a fried squid in a way that made it look really delicious.
    “…. Honestly, don’t you know anything about cooperating? I thought we were going to go around and take a look together ….. Anyway, when did you even buy all that!?”
    “Nn, pwah! Ah, sorry, sorry, it just all looked so delicious, so I couldn’t help myself ….! Ah, Takane, I’ll give you some, too. Here, eat whatever you’d like!”
    In the bag that Haruka held out, there was a large quantity of packs of things like yakisoba and okonomiyaki that seemed like they could become main dishes.
    “Uu ….  That’s a pretty nice selection. Well, anyway, let’s just sit down somewhere and start eating. The seats in the back look like they’re free.”
    Finding an area that seemed empty, I looked back at Haruka and said this, and saw that he was already onto his next victim, a hot dog, and nodding his head without saying anything.
     
    The spot I’d found was right in the shade, and walking there together, we sat down. Today, we were lucky to have nice weather; the perfect day for a School Culture Festival.
    It was even a little hot out, and many were wearing light clothing.
    Since Haruka and I thought we’d be moving around quite a bit, we’d also come in
