"You don't have to apologize for anything." Itadori sighed. "I was just... I was just suddenly reminded of him."

"I see..."

Bungo stroll : Culture

It's was a roughly normal September 1st afternoon in Fukurodani Academy and second years Rhaf and Yukiko were making their way to their club room after a long day of sitting in class.

Rhaf reached his arm to open the door to the room and as soon as they entered they were met with the frantic face of their junior and rookie debater— Nakamura Aren.

"Rhaf-senpai, Dazai-senpai please help!" The green haired first year cried.

"Oooohhhhhh!!!!!"

Yukiko looked behind her seeing a crazed Jay B standing on Sugawara-sensei's table, a crazed look on his face as Akako takes his video, snickering in the corner.

Eijiro was simply sitting on his desk browsing on his phone as he ignores the ruckus that was happening before him.

And thus, Jay B started singing in the most obnoxious voice he can muster.

"WHENEVER I SEE GIRLS AND BOYS SELLING LANTERNS ON THE STREETS"

"Ah..." Rhaf blinked as if realizing something. "So it's Jay B this year." He turned to Yukiko. "It's September 1st ain't it?" He chuckled.

"Merry Christmas!"

Aren looked at both of them in disbelief then back at Jay B who was doing a weird jig.

"It's September 1st???!!!! Christmas is in December????!!!!"

Yukiko was already making her way towards her embarrassing teammate.

"What are you doing?" She demanded trying hard not to laugh.

"Yukiko-chan, it's 'Ber' month now!" The red head giggled.

"Look here!" He pointed at the air.

"Look where?" The brunette crossed her arms as she felt her junior slid behind her fearfully watching as the burgundy haired male.

"Here!" The male comically raises his leg as he uses both hands to point at... Air...

"I only see your idiot face." Yukiko huffed crossing her arms.

"You have the idiot face." Akako remarked from the sidelines, Eijiro perked up and went out from his seat to stand in between of the blond and the brunette.

"I've finally arrived!" Jay B's exclamation cuts them off.

"In the Philippines!" He looks around with his left hand above his eyes as he slides his body from the left to the right as if he was a tourist in the tropical country.

"It's exactly as they said it'd be!" He sang gleefully.

"Parols* decorating the houses and the giant Christmas tree in the middle of the mall—"

Jay B tilted his body back as if in a trance as he dramatically describes Christmas season in the Philippines.

"People singing to Jose Mari Chan and Christmas carols as they go house to house?! Late evening Rizal Park walks as we see lanterns and taste the exquisite street foods?! I want to get me some bibingka*!!"

The male continued to ramble about other things as Aren tightens her grip behind Yukiko.

Katie made her way to the room and jabbed the burgundy haired male on the knee causing him to fall from the desk.
