Volume 13 Chapter 248-2 Inori Hisui, The Three Who Are Of Concern
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Yeah, seeing everyone get excited is the most heartwarming thing, isn’t it?
I’ll do my best too.
”If that’s the case, it’s fine… but the real issue is whether 2A will accept this plan. Don’t forget that, everyone.”
””””””””””Ah…””””””””””
That’s true. Even if we’re hyped about the fashion show showdown, it won’t happen unless 2A agrees…
As everyone looked tense, a familiar figure suddenly peeked in through the window.
”I’ve heard the story.”
””””””””””Eh, Emily-sama!?””””””””””
Huh!? Why is Emily-sama here!?
Isn’t she from Mary Girls’ University? Did she come to the wrong school by mistake?!
The homeroom teacher approached Emily-sama on behalf of the class.
”Umm, Yukishiro Emily-san, right? Why are you here?”
”Aqua-sama forgot his gym clothes and said he’d play volleyball in his birthday suit. So, I came to deliver the clothes to stop him, and while I was at it, I overheard something interesting from this classroom…”
Volleyball in his birthday suit!?
Sorry, Emily-sama. The image of Aqua-sama playing volleyball in his birthday suit was so shocking that I couldn’t focus on anything else after that.
”Anyway, can I handle the negotiation? Trust me. I’ll use any means necessary to secure their approval.”
”Ah, y-yes…”
With that, Emily-sama left the classroom.
I hope she’s okay.
While Emily-sama was negotiating, we decided on our roles.
Then, just at the right moment, Emily-sama returned.
”The negotiation was successful.”
””””””””””Yayyyyyy!””””””””””
Hmm? Despite the success, Emily-sama looked a bit down.
”I just checked 2A’s homeroom discussion. They’re serious. They’ve already decided on outfits, show choreography, and even the BGM.”
Aqua-sama handles BERYL and our live performances, and he’s walked runways before, so he’s a pro at directing.
Considering that, the opponent is even stronger than I imagined. I’m even more unsure how we can win.
”Also, the student council will manage the judging and show operations, so focus on the show itself and do your best.”
We thanked Emily-sama for her help.
I never thought we’d actually have a fashion show showdown with 2A, but now I’m more excited than anything. It’s precisely because they’re such a strong opponent that I’m fired up.
Even if we can’t win, I want to give it our all.
”Then, everyone, do your best.”
Emily-sama said that, closed the window, and left.
She’s amazing. She has the aura of a capable woman that I admire.
After Emily-sama left, Chitose-chan, who proposed the fashion show, spoke up.
”Um, I think 2A’s costume design will be handled by Kurumi Kokona-senpai from the Clothing Club. Since I’m also in the club, can I design everyone’s costumes?”
”Sure, why not? If there’s no one else with expertise, Chitose-chan is the best fit.”
”I agree. I can help with sewing, but designing and making patterns from scratch is impossible for me.”
”Isaka-san, I’m a cosplayer, so if you decide the design, I can help with the patterns.”
With tasks assigned, ideas started flowing from everyone.
Like that, the homeroom time for deciding the cultural festival activities flew by.
”Hisui-chan, are you free after school today? Since we couldn’t decide during homeroom, students without clubs are meeting after school to discuss.”
”Sorry, I have an urgent job today, so I can’t make it.”
”I see. I’ll take notes on what we decide. Good luck with your work.”
”Thanks! See you tomorrow!”
I left school early and headed straight to the job site.
”Nice to meet you!!”
After greeting everyone, I had some photos taken for the magazine.
Then, Aqua’s producer appeared.
Huh? Was he scheduled to come today? I don’t remember seeing it on the schedule.
”Hisui-chan, Hisui-chan, just a moment…”
”Ah, yes.”
After work, I was called in and ended up alone with Aqua’s producer in the waiting room.
”I only saw the end of the shoot, but it was really good. You’re starting to understand how to connect with fans through the camera lens.”
”R-really? Hehe, I’m happy to be praised.”
I didn’t expect to be praised, so I was genuinely happy.
Maybe I’m growing a little as an idol, I thought.
”Anyway, about the fashion show showdown… From your perspective, how are Kukuri-chan, Oto-san, and Iria-san doing? Are they fitting in well? The three of them have their quirks, so I thought it might be hard for others to approach them.”
Ah…. Aqua-sama was worried about that too….
Thinking I might be able to give some good advice, I talked about the distance I felt between the three of them and my classmates.
”I see…. Hisui-chan, sorry, but could you help everyone get along during the cultural festival? I know it’s a pain to ask, but…”
”N-no, it’s not like that. Even if Aqua-sama didn’t ask, I wanted to do that too.”
I don’t want it to be just me—I want Kukuri-chan, Oto-san, and Iria-san to enjoy high school life too.
After all, high school is only three years. I don’t want to waste even a little of it.
”Thank you, Hisui-chan.”
Aqua-sama bowed slightly to me.
Wah! But it’s okay even if you don’t bow your head!
”Anyway, I was surprised when Emily proposed it, but the fashion show showdown sounds really fun.”
”Yes!”
I was also surprised because I never thought 2A would accept our proposal.
Maybe Emily-sama handled it well.
”Since I’m doing it, I’m serious too. 2A won’t lose, Hisui-chan.”
”Yes! I have no intention of losing either!!”
I and Aqua-sama smiled and exchanged sparks.
”Well, I’ll head back first. If you have any trouble, feel free to consult me. Hisui-chan, thank you for everything this time.”
”Understood! Thank you very much today!”
With that, the busy Aqua-sama left the scene first.
Okay, opportunities like this don’t come often, so I’ll cheer up and do my best too──!!
Yay──!
I lightly patted my cheeks to psyche myself up, then jumped and punched both fists into the sky.
Kukuri-chan-sama: “Y-yes. Maybe I can get to know everyone better at the school festival… Maybe we can have a sleepover at school the day before, or buy takoyaki during the break and share it with everyone on the day?”
Peeking Maid A: “You seem to be thinking of such cute things, aren’t you?”
Peeking Maid B: “The lady is so cute when she’s worried. Everyone, look more carefully!!”
Peeking Maid C: “Over here, lady. Push more there. Ahh! Exciting!”
Peeking Maid D: “We’ll also rush to the cultural festival and support from behind.”
Peeking Part-Timer E: “Phew, that was a nice play on my part. Guhehe! Kukuri, do you realize now that I quickly changed your gym uniform into bloomers?”
