Chapter 709: The Final Curtain: Wrapping Up the Festival



Monday, March 15th

Yukihime High School, Elffire City

The air at Yukihime High School was filled with the crisp freshness of early spring, a gentle reminder that the long winter had finally given way to a season of renewal. The campus, which had been alive with the hustle and bustle of the club festival over the weekend, now felt strangely quiet even with the sound of the various clubs dissembling their venues, as if the school itself was taking a deep breath after the whirlwind of activity.

The members of the student council had gathered in their main office, each of them showing signs of exhaustion after nearly four straight days of work. The festival had been a

monumental success, but now they faced the equally important task of returning the school to its pre-festival state.

Vivian, the student council president, stood at the center of the room, her usual composed expression betraying a hint of fatigue. "Alright, everyone, we have a lot to do today, but if we work together, we can get it all done and finally head home for some much-needed rest."

Aurora, the vice president, nodded in agreement. "Let's start with the currency exchange machines. We need to convert them back to vending machines before the school day begins tomorrow."

"Already on it," Carolla, the student body treasurer, chimed in. She had a knack for handling all things related to finance and logistics, and she had already arranged for the maintenance crew to assist with the transformation. "The maintenance team is waiting by the machines. We just need to supervise the conversion and ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Brenda Blackburn, the student council chief of justice, was reviewing the list of tasks on her tablet. "I'll oversee that. It shouldn't take too long, and it will give us a head start on the other tasks."

Umaru, the council secretary, looked up from her notes. "What about the Yuki Notes? We need to count them all and secure them in the school safe."

"I'll handle that with Aurora," Vivian decided. "We'll count the Yuki Notes and make sure they're safely stored. Carolla, once we're done with that, you can transfer the funds from the festival earnings to the student council bank account."

"Got it," Carolla replied, already mentally calculating the logistics of the transfer. "I'll prepare the deposit slip and make sure everything is accounted for."

Ohori Hanako, the public representative and social media supervisor, was scrolling through the school's social media accounts. "I'll take care of the post-festival cleanup on social media. We had a lot of engagement over the weekend, and I want to make sure we wrap it up with a final post thanking everyone who participated."

"Then I'll make sure all the clubs leave the campus just like it was before. If you girls hadn't forgotten, one of the conditions that the school gave us was to leave the school campus clean and tidy just like always."

"Oh, when I finish my task, I'll help you, Umaru-senpai," Hanako said promptly.

Vivian gave her a grateful smile. "Perfect. Let's get started then."

The group dispersed to tackle their respective tasks, each one aware of the importance of their work. Brenda led the way to the vending machines, where the maintenance crew was already waiting. The machines had been cleverly modified to dispense Yuki Notes during the festival, but now they needed to be returned to their original state as regular vending machines.

"These machines were a hit," one of the maintenance workers remarked as they began the process of conversion. "I heard some students collected a ton of Yuki Notes just to trade them back in for real prizes."

Brenda chuckled. "They certainly added an extra layer of fun to the festival. But now it's time to get them back to normal. Thanks for your help with this."

As the crew worked, Brenda supervised, ensuring that each machine was correctly calibrated and restocked with snacks and drinks. It was a straightforward task, but one that required careful attention to detail.

Meanwhile, in a quiet room near the student council office, Vivian and Aurora were surrounded by stacks of Yuki Notes. The two girls worked in silence, counting the colorful bills and recording the totals. The festival had been a resounding success, and the sheer volume of Yuki Notes was proof of that.

"We really outdid ourselves this time," Aurora said with a smile, her fingers deftly sorting through the bills.

Vivian nodded. "The clubs did an amazing job too. The competition was fierce, but everyone had a great time. I'm just glad it's all over now."

Aurora glanced at her friend. "You look exhausted, Vivian. Are you holding up okay?"

Vivian paused for a moment, then sighed. "I'm tired, but it's a good kind of tired, you know? We worked so hard to make this festival a success, and now that it's done, I feel like we accomplished something really special."

Aurora smiled warmly. "We did. And the students will remember this festival for a long time. But once we're done here, you should go home and rest."

"I will," Vivian promised. "But first, let's finish counting these notes."

In another part of the school, Carolla was busy with the financial aspects of the festival. After Brenda and the maintenance crew had finished with the vending machines, Carolla returned to the student council office to finalize the money transfer. She carefully calculated the total earnings, cross-referencing the figures with the records from the Yuki Notes.

"Everything checks out," she murmured to herself as she prepared the deposit slip. The amount of money they had raised was impressive, and she knew it would go a long way in funding future student council initiatives.

Once the paperwork was complete, Carolla made her way to the school safe. The large, reinforced door loomed before her, a symbol of the responsibility that came with her role as treasurer. With practiced precision, she entered the combination and carefully placed the Yuki Notes inside.

"All done," she reported to Vivian and Aurora as she returned to the counting room. "The funds will be deposited first thing tomorrow morning."

"Thanks, Carolla," Vivian said, grateful for her efficiency. "That takes a huge weight off our shoulders."

As the day wore on, the student council members continued their work, each task bringing them one step closer to completion. Hanako's social media wrap-up was well received by the students, who flooded the school's accounts with comments and likes, praising the council for their hard work and the success of the festival.

When the night had already arrived, the school was beginning to feel like its usual self again. The booths and stalls that had once filled the campus pathways and various buildings were now gone, and the classrooms and hallways were cleaned and restored to their usual order. The campus, which had been transformed into a vibrant festival ground, was now quiet as if it was taking a moment to reflect on the excitement of the past few days.

As the final tasks were completed, the student council members gathered in the office one last time. The cool moon sky was bright, casting a cool and cold glow over the room, and the exhaustion they had been holding at bay finally caught up with them.

"Well, that's it," Vivian said, a note of relief in her voice. "We've done everything we needed

to do."

The others nodded in agreement, their tired faces lighting up with the realization that their work was finally finished.

"It's been a long few days," Brenda remarked, leaning back in her chair. "But we pulled it

off."

"And now we can finally go home," Aurora added with a tired smile.

Vivian looked around at her team, her heart swelling with pride. "You all did an amazing job. I couldn't have asked for a better group to work with."

The six of them exchanged smiles, the camaraderie they had built over the course of the festival evident in their expressions. They had faced challenges, worked long hours, and managed to pull off a successful event that would be remembered for years to come. "Let's get out of here," Carolla suggested, her voice filled with the anticipation of finally heading home.

One by one, they gathered their belongings and made their way to the door. The school was quiet now, the excitement of the festival a distant memory, but the bonds they had forged during those hectic days would last long after they left the building.

As they stepped outside, the cool spring air greeted them, a reminder that a new season had begun. The moon was cool as always, casting a soft glow over the city, and for the first time in days, they allowed themselves to relax.

"See you all tomorrow," Vivian said with a smile as they parted ways.

They waved goodbye and headed home, each one looking forward to a good night's sleep. The

festival was over, but the memories they had created-and the friendships they had strengthened—would stay with them for a long time to come.
