"Cultural festival?" His friends asked confusedly "why all of a sudden?"

"Yeah, do you know a school where they will have their cultural festival this weekend? Yesterday, the director told me that I lack emotion for the cultural festival scene in my new anime role" Shimazaki Nobunaga sighed, resting his cheeks on his palm "I wanted to experience it once again before our next recording next week"

"I apologize Shimazaki-kun, I don't know a school though." Shimono Hiro responded

"Why don't you just go around?" Kimura Ryouhei suggested "its season of culture festival after all"

"I wanted to, but it's embarrassing to just go there when I don't know anyone."

"What are you guys talking about?" Kazuma Horie asked as he entered the recording studio.

"We ate talking about a culture festival, Horie-san" Shimono answered

"What about the culture festival?" He asked sitting next to Shimono

"Nobunaga wanted to attend a culture festival, this weekend" Kimura informed him

"Why?"

"The director from the other anime I am in told me that I lack emotions so, I wanted to remember the tension and feelings of cultural festival. So I wanted to go, but I just can't go there when I don't know anyone"

"Is that so? Then do you want to go with me?" When Kazuma asked it, not just Shimazaki, but everyone was at lost "I will go to my niece's school this Saturday. Her mother, my cousin, invited me."

"I'll go Horie-san!" Shimazaki immediately and excitedly told him

"It looks fun! I want to go too. But I have schedule this weekend" Kimura and Shimono said at the same time.

"Then, I'll message you where and when on Saturday" Kazuma told Shimazaki, and not long after Kaji Yuki and Terashima Takuma arrived and they started recording for servamp. The other casts also arrive.

~Saturday~

"Then, Eguchi-kun is also here." Kazuma chuckled as he arrived near the station where they decided to meet up "I thought you have Trignal thing with Ryouhei today"

"It will be tomorrow. He has another schedule today" Eguchi whined

"I mentioned about it to him and he insisted" Shimazaki explained "Kazuma-san, please to be in your care."

"Then shall we go? My cousin will meet us in front of her daughter's school"

"Is it high school or Middle school?" Shimazaki curiously asked as they followed Kazuma behind

"High school. My niece is in her first year of high school"

"It's exciting, isn't it?!" Eguchi giggled but Shimazaki still didn't know what to feel.

They headed to the school, and they were surprised from the people walking towards the same direction

"This school seems so famous" Shimazaki commented, roaming his eyes around

"Yeah, they advertise it too much. Also, every year their cultural festival is really different" Kazuma informed them "ah, that's my cousin!" He waved towards a middle aged woman, who the two knew right away that they are related since they look alike.

They introduced themselves to her and after the formality, they headed inside the school.

"It's really lively!" Eguchi commented in excitement.

They planned to head first to where Kazuma's niece where, but on the way they received lots of flyers and even asked to participate their games.

"Welcome to 1-B's Cosplay Cafe!" They were greeted by the students who were wearing with different characters.

"Ah, Kako-chan's mother. Please come in, Kako is just busy with something, but she'll be here in a moment" one of the students informed her

"Then for four." Kazuma's cousin told the students

They were led to a four seater table next to the window, and waters were served first. The menu was also given next, and the student in charge left them first to decide.

"What should we buy? Everything seemed so delicious" Shimazaki asked flipping the pages

"Ah they have curry" Eguchi excitedly read the options.

While they were deciding what to order, they were surprised from a sudden ruckus from the students

"Sensei, it really fits on you!"

"Everyone, why do I need to wear one too?" She shyly entered the room wearing a white and blue sailor uniform "I am your teacher"

"Sensei is our super rare card~!" The students hummed in chorus

"(F/N)-sensei, you really look like Koizumi"

"Who is that?" The teacher sighed and shyly hid behind one of her students since all eyes were on her.

Of all people, Shimazaki was looking at her in surprised.

"You sure stare at her. Why don't you ask for a picture with her?" Eguchi whispered

"I can?" Shimazaki asked excitedly as he stood up and approached them.

"He's really going" Kazuma chuckled

"Uhm... is it okay if I take a picture of you?" Shimazaki asked nervously

"Dear guest, we are willing to let you take a picture with our super rare card, however you are not allowed to use your phone, but instead you will be taken using our polaroid. And because this is business, you will pay for your copy" one of the students informed him, in which he didn't really care and immediately agreed

"I apologize to ask something like this" Shimazaki bowed down but (F/N) shook her head and smiled back "If its for my students, then I think I need to help them."

"Dear guest, you are a fan of Koizumi, right?" A girl student teasingly asked Shimazaki as she was holding the polaroid on her hand "well then sensei, stand on our guest's right side. Then put your left hand on your cheeks, your right hand on top of your chest and then smile innocently"

She did what her student asked, and Shimazaki tried his best not to get excited

"I'm taking it!

3"

"Thank you very much" Shimazaki bowed down and his stare stayed on her.

"Nobunaga, I'm next" Eguchi approached them and he also took picture with her. Kazuma also took one, and lastly, the three of them with (F/N). Shimazaki wanted to take one more picture with her, but more people wanted to take pictures with her

~

"Now what should I do? Egu already left, Horie-san is with his cousin. I need to do my research" Shimazaki sighed and walked around the school.

But aside from the excited moment when he took picture with Koizumi's cosplayer, he couldn't feel the lively surroundings.

As he was walking around, he froze when he noticed a lady standing in front of the announcement board. She's wearing a black pants with white blouse, her (h/l) (h/c) hair was a little mess

"Ahre, the sensei a while ago" Shimazaki approached her, in which she flinched in surprise "ah, I apologize"

"Ah, the guest a while ago. I am surprise that you noticed me"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Asides from my students, and my colleagues who saw me the other guests didn't know that it was me. That's why I am surprised that you noticed me"

"Is that so?" As if I could tell her that I notice because of her cheeks, Shimazaki thought but just kept it to himself

"You are not with your tall friend and the other one too?"

"Ah, Egu, the tall guy already left since he was called by his manager. Horie-san is with his cousin. Since I need to gather information about school festival for my work, I decided to go by myself. How about sensei? You are by yourself"

"I see, that's why you are on your own. As for me, well, I am also on my own since the other teachers have works to do. It is my free time so I plan on going around first." She answered then shifted her eyes to the announcement board "but I don't know where to go"

"Uhm..."

"Hmmm?"

Shimazaki hesitated at first, but he took all his courage and invited her "if its okay with you, do you want to go around together? I know that we don't know each other, but its... uhm... so embarrassing to go around by myself, since I don't really know anyone."

(F/N) blinked fast but not long after, she laughed from Shimazaki's invitation. "You are right. Even though I am from this school, going around by myself is pretty embarrassing. You said you are gathering information about school festival, right? Then for the meantime, as a teacher from this school, I'll be your tour guide so you can gather information for your work. I'm (L/N) (F/N)."

"Shimazaki Nobunaga. Thank you very much. I'll be in your care, (L/N) sensei"

"Same here, Shimazaki-san. Well for now, let's go to 3rd year building."

The two headed to 3rd year building, but along the way, (F/N) received invitations from the students on the hallway.

~

"Then, why am I wearing such clothes again?" (F/N) asked wearing a aristocrat woman's clothes from Sengoku period. They are in 3-A's room which have a "back in time" theme where they could wear clothes from different period. It was on the time that the 3-A changed the time period to Sengoku period

"Sensei really looks good with anything" a student complemented her

It was then Shimazaki came out that made (F/N) burst into laughter

"Shimazaki-san, you really looks like Oda Nobunaga"

"Since we are in Sengoku period, I had no choice and decided with this"

"It's perfect on you. Also, your name"

"Well then dear guests, we'll take a picture now" a student holding a DSLR told them.

Shimazaki stood next to (L/N) and in count of three, the picture was taken.

"We will print this picture and give a copy to each of you. But the copy will be given by Tuesday, and if its okay, we will use this for our final project"

"I am fine with it, but by Tuesday?" Shimazaki had a deep thought and then checked his schedule

"If you cannot go by Tuesday, you can go any days. I'll hold it for you. Ah, but if you will go here, go here after 4:30" (F/N) suggested

"Thank you, then I'll go here by Thursday since I have no work that day."

"Then, do you want to take another shot? It is for free"

"I wonder why my students asked for a payment of that picture" (F/N) wondered suspiciously in a very low tension "I should ask them not to"

"Probably because they used a polaroid and we got the copy right away" Shimazaki reasoned out "plus, I really don't mind. Sensei is cute after all"

"I'll accept that as a complement"

They took couple of shots again before changing their clothes back.

"That took time." (F/N) checked the time then looked at Shimazaki "there's one place I wanted to go, is it okay if you join me there?"

"Sure, I have no particular place to go after all."

(F/N) led the way to the gym and when they entered, Shimazaki was surprised to see the gallery inside the gym

"This is?"

"My students last year. They couldn't perform because of their senpai's authority. But I am glad, that they can perform this year. They practiced hard to be able to perform, seeing them on stage is like a miracle for me." (F/N) chuckled and shyly smiled towards Shimazaki "I apologize, I am talking on my own. I don't know anything about idols or singers, but I wanted to know about them so I can help my students"

"It is fine, I can see that you are so proud of your students. Besides, practicing hard, I know how it feels and I can see from their performance that they are enjoying it." He commented then shifted his eyes on the stage "this feeling, I once forgotten it. I see, that's why I couldn't do it properly" he mumbled and smiled to himself.

After the performance, they went to buy foods. However, because Shimazaki needed to go and at the same time (F/N)'s free time is over, they headed back to 1-B's class, and there parted ways.

~Thursday~

"Hai, its okay. Thank you very much!" The director told them, and immediately Shimazaki put his things on his bag

"Ahre, do you have another appoinment? It's still 4" Ono Kensho confusedly asked Shimazaki

"Yeah, I need to stop by somewhere. Well then, I'll take my leave first."

"He looks so excited. Is there a new merch for Koizumi?" Kensho asked the others, but they shook their head since they also didn't know

Shimazaki hurriedly went to the school and saw students walking out of the gate. He didn't know if he could enter, so he waited outside.

He was wearing eyeglass and hat, and he put his hat low.

"Shimazaki-san" he flinched as she called him, and her smile finally answered his excitement. "Sorry for the wait. Why are you hiding your face by the way?"

"No... on my way here, some people recognized me. I was told to be careful with my actions though"

"Do you have your own fan club or what?" (F/N) teasingly asked, but froze when Shimazaki nodded "seriously?"

"Yeah, actually-"

"Ahre, sensei, is that your boyfriend?" Three of her students, who were on their way out, called her

"A friend I met during school festival" she immediately responded "go home immediately. Don't go anywhere"

"Hai~ sensei too!"

"Well, sensei has no interest in love life after all, so we don't need to worry of her"

"Bye sensei! See you tomorrow"

"Sensei has no interest in love life?" Shimazaki curiously asked

"At the moment, yes I have no interest. Well, I had a relationship before, but because of my experience, I am not looking for one right now. Why did you ask?" She asked but he shook his head

"Anyways, I am here to get the picture. And also, since your work is done, I'll treat you with something to eat. My treat"

"Ah, since I am hungry, I'll accept your invitation."

The two headed to a ramen shop since (F/N) suddenly wanted to eat a ramen. Shimazaki didn't mind and led her to his favorite ramen shop.

"Seiyuu? Shimazaki-san?"

"Yeah, the reason why I went to the cultural festival was because I couldn't do my job properly. I am gathering information for my next job. I did my best during the recording, but I feel like I still need to gather more information for being a student"

"It is surprising that you are famous. Is it okay if we hang out like this?"

"Yes of course. Please treat me as a normal person" Shimazaki frantically responded "and if its okay to you, can we hang out again next time? Eeto... if you can help me with gathering information, I'll be thankful"

"If I can help you, I'll be happy to. Since I am interested in idols and those stuffs too, you can help me with it"

"T-then... is it okay if we exchange Line?"

"I don't mind" (F/N) got her phone out and showed her line QR code. "But is it really okay to share it with me? You are famous person, right?"

"As I said, it is okay. I trust you that you will not share it to others, besides you'll help me gather information." She giggled and was surprised seeing Shimazaki's picture on Line

"She's the one I cosplayed, eeto..."

"Koizumi Hanayo" Shimazaki responded "among all the cosplayers I met, you were the best."

"Is that so? I want to learn more about Koizumi"

"Eh, why?"

"According to my students, she's an idol. But I don't know anything about her and her group, so I'll gain something in return from helping you"

"Ah... that..." Shimazaki chuckled as he gaze away while thinking "her innocence is dangerous, added by her smile. Since she's not interested in having a boyfriend, she will not realize that I am interested on her. I'll advance slowly... But I wonder if it will work out."
