85 – Unknown Maid – 3
One thing that occurred to me was that this woman also had some similarities to Shiraishi.
What they have in common is that they do not care about the atmosphere around them. She continued to stroke my head, not caring about other people’s looks or my confused reaction.
I was dumbfounded by that unexpected situation for a moment.
“Eh, Elena… !”
Haruna came out to save me.
“Hello! See you again… ! Lol….”
She was also the only one who accepted my confusion and request for help.
Continuing her meaningless actions, she also withdrew her hand and looked at Haruna.
“Yes. “Miss Kato.”
“…… But I’m sorry. “We are busy preparing for the cultural festival.”
“I know that.”
Should I call it ice breaking?
Haruna continues the conversation with her even though she is sweating.
“That… “What we have prepared is a play!”
From noble mtl dot com
Haruna smiled brightly as she and Shiraishi linked arms.
“Aki-chan suggested that too… !”
“……… ….”
Elena still looked at Haruna quietly.
Nevertheless, Haru I followed her words with full force.
“It was Aki-chan who pushed it forward, and it was Aki-chan who distributed the roles and told us directly what to do. “Isn’t that amazing?”
So what should we do?
When she guessed that Elena’s expressionless expression might mean something like that,
“So… Without Aki-chan, we can’t properly prepare for the cultural festival… Ehehehe….”
Haruna is trying to explain.
I also added an explanation
“Yes. Shiraishi is the general manager of our Class 2-A play.”
“……… Okay.”
“In other words, it is up to Shiraishi to lead this play successfully.”
“……… ….”
The dignity of the family must be maintained.
You must not take any action that goes against it.
I don’t know what her dignity is, but I’ve already heard it from her several times.
Remembering that, I opened my mouth.
“This play directed by Akira Shiraishi. If something goes wrong, they take responsibility. “Isn’t that also against Shiraishi’s dignity?”
I’m not sure.
In any case, she has a duty to lead this play successfully.
If she were to lose it, wouldn’t that also be against the dignity of her family?
No matter how I tried to refute her, she would become completely dumb, but once she did, I pushed her as if she were struggling.
Elena looked at us quietly, then quickly lowered her head.
“……… “If you are in such a position.”
And then he took a step out of the classroom.
“I understand.”
I calmly agreed.
“Then I will wait here.”
In the hallway of the school, Elena stood with her hands clasped together and looked this way.
The classroom door swings shut.
I thought it was really noticeable that he was doing that there.
Anyway, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike during lunch, I was able to catch Shiraishi.
“…… Therefore… ….”
I said awkwardly, looking back at her.
“Sorry. Shiraishi. That was a bit harsh….”
In an attempt to catch her, I apologized to her for saying something harsh and saying something harsh to her.
The cultural festival is really just a festival and a game for students. There is no need to say that it is against decency to take responsibility.
It was truly a sophistry against Elena, but at this moment, it was just a desperate excuse.
“Oh, no…” “It’s not like that at all.”
Shiraishi, who was looking at us blankly, soon opened her mouth.
“Okay… This play was promoted by me. “Everyone followed my opinion.”
Shiraishi’s eyes grow bigger and bigger.
“So, I have an obligation to put my name on the line and make this play a success!”
Ah, he survived.
Looking around at the people in her classroom, Shiraishi shouted confidently.
“Everyone! Thank you for following along with me despite my shortcomings! “Starting today, let’s all come together and prepare hard!”
Meanwhile, the students in the classroom, who had been dumbfounded by the series of incidents, nodded their heads in a daze.
Because the only ones who knew the situation were me and Haruna.
Nevertheless, we felt fortunate that Shiraishi had regained her passion, and we began preparing for the cultural festival.
Shiraishi was busy going around each group, giving various instructions and checking.
The acting team, Yuki and I, and the other cast members read the script and try to get it together.
“…… Shiraishi… “What happened?”
While I was reading the script, Yuyuki turned to me and asked me.
“What happened?”
“No… Same goes for that maid…. “He seemed to have no energy, but then he suddenly became cheerful.”
“……… ….”
Should I tell you the circumstances?
It would be great if Yuuki sympathizes and understands Shiraishi’s unfortunate situation and feelings, and if they become closer because of that, it would be great.
“That’s fine.”
For now, I decided to keep my mouth shut.
Not only is the explanation lengthy.
Because I didn’t want to give the impression that I knew Shiraishi in detail.
There is also love that continues with sympathy and pity for the other person. In the original world, Yuuki and Shiraishi fall apart due to their pitiful love for each other.
Rather than such a relationship, I hope that we can naturally become close to each other with a healthy mentality.
I did not want to direct a tragic love story like this play we are preparing.
Everyone knows that Romeo and Juliet do not have a happy ending in the end.
They meet tragic deaths.
The two families, who had been fighting since their deaths, end up reconciling.
Because I hate that kind of thing.
“……… Wait for a sec.”
With those words to myself, I raised my head.
“Huh? Why?”
Yuki, who was muttering while looking at the script, looked at me.
“No… no. Nothing.”
“What? “Minsu, you think there’s something strange about you too.”
“No.”
I looked back at her, dumbfounded by her unexpected realization.
“Yes! This is enough for props! “It’s enough!”
Although it was I who encouraged her to do her play.
It was Shiraishi who suggested this tragic romance.
I leave Yuuki and Shiraishi as the protagonists of the romance so that they can naturally get along and become closer.
I was hoping that we could develop a relationship like that.
The play we are preparing is Romeo and Juliet, which ends in tragedy.
No, it probably doesn’t mean anything.
Shiraishi probably chose this play simply because he likes it.
Because I like old classics. So there is no reason to attach great significance to it.
Thinking like that, I turned over the script.
But this… Isn’t my volume quite large?
I thought I was playing a simple supporting role.
Although it wasn’t as good as the main role, I felt that there were quite a few situations where I could fit in with Juliet, so I slowly memorized the script.
***
I learned something while following the young lady today.
When I said I was having a good time, it wasn’t just a simple greeting, it was sincere.
And at the same time, the situation the young lady finds herself in. Meeting him again in the classroom. I step back and look at the classroom.
I got to know their relationship roughly.
A conversation to share. Passing glances. While walking around the classroom, the young lady’s eyes occasionally fell on him.
Simple yet easy to understand.
The reason she works so hard is to look good.
The guy you like already has a girlfriend.
Nevertheless, the young lady was helping prepare for the play as hard as she could.
No matter what her faults or quirks are, it won’t be difficult to bring her back to her home. For now she decided to just watch.
Anyone gets hurt the same way.
After school time, I put my daughter in the car and head home.
Her expression through the rearview mirror looked very happy.
“The preparation is going smoothly, but the problem is that everyone is having a hard time acting.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Of course, if you practice hard, you can make it on time. It’s more than just acting by memorizing a script….”
As we chatted, the young lady glanced at me.
“Watching another play together… She gathers separately and holds an acting camp… I think that way, she will be able to direct a better play….”
The Shiraishi residence is getting closer.
The girl who hesitated soon opened her mouth.
“Miss Elena….”
“Yes.”
“Inviting them to my house…” Like spending a night practicing… “You can’t do that, right?”
“……… ….”
When she slightly shifted her gaze, she saw the young lady turning her head and hesitating.
“Of course, it’s for a successful play! “I never thought about inviting a man to have an impure relationship or something like that!”
“……… ….”
“Yes! Because there are others too! This is just for a successful play… !”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Yes?”
“…… “I said it was okay.”
As she looked away from the young lady, whose expression brightened, she thought about doing some cleaning before that day came.
