Spoiler for Harvest Festa Shizuru's story:

Which seems to be what actually happens.

Spoiler for General Harvest Festa Question(s):

I was under the impression that that Kotori was the only one that got an After Story in Harvest Festa and the rest (well maybe not Chihaya) were side stories/extended common route of the other character stories. I thought that because I skimmed a bit regarding the Harvest Festa content. So are all the routes considered After Stories? I doubt Akane's is after the seeing the bath CG.
