84. 1St Year Culture Festival
84. 1St grade cultural festival
Her brief response. It was a response that showed a willingness to continue the conversation in addition to a little curiosity. Or maybe it was just genuine curiosity.
But yesterday, after seeing the case of my seniors and ending my regrets, I knew very well that procrastinating here would only be poison to me, so I decided to draw a clear line.
[Sorry. Actually, I’m not in a position to make friends or date because of my studies.]
After sending her a short e-mail like that, I got up from her seat and headed to the kitchen. It was because it was time for Inazuke to call after breakfast.
As expected, when I opened the door and came out, next to me was Iinazuke coming up the stairs. She looks at me and smiles. I went out to eat with her.

And lunch that day. Another reply came from her.
[Ah… You did… Well, I can’t help it hahahaha…. I’m sorry too. I didn’t even know that. But instead, if I come to Korea later or if I go to Japan, will you meet me?! You’ve done that before, so you have to repay the debt!]
“….”
That’s right. You are persistent….
But at the same time, on the other hand, I understood her enough to say this as a courtesy, and I sent her a response saying that I knew. And as of that day, her mail has not come from her.

Three days later, Wednesday. Morning inquiry time.
“- So! We’ll decide what to do for the upcoming cultural festival in the first period, so think quickly! hehehe….”
It was usually high, but today, the children started to get agitated by the teacher’s words, who had a particularly high tension. Maybe it’s because I was excited about what to do for my first high school cultural festival in the future. And this could be said to be a feeling that I also share to some extent.
As usual, by now, I would have been struggling with worrying about the events of Toyoda and the heroines in the original work. It was because, in normal school animations, there was always one incident during the cultural festival.
Fortunately, the original work, ‘Why am I so popular?’ Due to the nature of the anime platform, it was not possible to cover all the events in each grade, so this cultural festival event and the events that followed it were postponed to the second grade.
So, this cultural festival was not dealt with in the original work, and as important as it was not included, there would be no events, and I can just enjoy it with peace of mind in this cultural festival. So this cultural festival can be said to be completely free.
So I waited for the next first period with a smile on my face. It was a little bit about what topic to do, but I was looking forward to it. After waiting for the homeroom teacher who had returned to the office with such a light heart, the bell finally went off and the teacher came back and started conducting the class meeting.
“Come on everyone! So, have you thought about what to do during this cultural festival? Someone to comment on!”
The homeroom teacher is as tense as he was during assembly time. In line with such a teacher, the children also raised their hands vigorously. Opinions began to come out of their mouths one after another.
“How about a haunted house?”
The first opinion that came out was the haunted house. Indeed, as it was a theme that was always used in one class at every cultural festival, it was unusual at first glance, but in fact, it could be said that it was an acceptable opinion. The next comment is sitting next to me. This was the opinion of Shoonen Kurutta.
“A maid cafe made up of pretty girls from my class would be nice!!!”
Kurutta expresses his opinion vigorously. The opinion he gave was a pretty maid cafe.
The male students in the class seemed a bit taken aback by Kurutta’s appearance, but it seemed like they were not too bad in their opinion.
But, of course, it was Osana Najimi and other female students who opposed it.
“No! Then what shall we do!”
“Even if we all do it together, the things we don’t like are the same! A maid cafe, I would die of shame! If you’re going to do it, men do it too!”
And the ensuing backlash.
Dreuk-
In response to that protest, Kurutta stood up proudly and shook his head.
“Tsk, things that even ‘Moe’ doesn’t know. The true value comes out only when kawaii pretty girls do it, not you guys.”
And with those words, the female students began to rebel even more.
“Hah?!”
“Have you finished talking?!”
“www”
“… ….”
It’s sh*t, it’s sh*t.
How long has it been since the fight between Kurutta and his girls started? In the end, the teacher intervened and barely managed to calm the children down before the fight ended. The meeting resumed again amid the faces that were not satisfied with either side.
From the mouths of the children, various opinions came out after that. There was talk of opening a cafe for refreshments, and there was also talk of putting on a play.
Unsurprisingly, however, the play, which can be called one of the clichés in anime, was quickly buried without a word. In my sophomore year, what I did at the cultural festival was a play, so it might have been quickly buried in my first year.
Anyway, the discussion about the topic of the cultural festival between the teacher and the children continued for a long time after that.
In the end, after all the last-minute opinions were voted on, the theme of our class was decided to be a maid cafe.
“… ….”
Anyway, the boys in my class seemed to want a maid cafe more than I thought. No wonder. After the maid cafe, the male side said that there was no opinion.
… And.
As a result of the selfishness of the male students, the girls protested again. Again, many stories came and went, and the result. In the end, we decided to open a maid cafe, but everyone participated, so the female students wore maid uniforms and the male students wore butler uniforms.
Although it was Kurutta who set the condition of ‘only pretty girls’, it seemed that he was somewhat satisfied with the result.
And when I saw the results, I also thought it was surprisingly not bad. It was because, in my conception of this world, even not wearing a maid uniform for a man was a good thing. When I was in middle school, there was a time when I really tried to wear it, so what should I say?
As I was nodding my head at the unexpectedly satisfactory result, Najimi Osana, who was sitting in front of me, quietly turned her head and said to me.
“You mean you have to see me dressed up as a butler? … I hate to see you.”
“….”
What is this b*tch?
I was dumbfounded by her behavior, but I responded in the same way to her words.
“I don’t want to see you in a maid outfit either.”
Then she was taken aback. Then she made her face and looked back again.
“….”
Um….
As expected, it’s strange….
These days, that guy out of the blue fights with me like this and sees the reaction. As usual, using a fight that is a bit annoying to just pass it over.
And it seemed to be getting worse.
From the reason to the purpose. I don’t know why….
… I wasn’t really annoyed.

The next day. 2Nd period break time.
“After….”
Today, as we were stretching after class as usual, the teacher suddenly entered the classroom and ‘reasonably’ asked Toyoda, who was in the middle of the children, to carry their luggage.
“Ahahahaha! The teacher is busy Then, please, Toyoda-kun.”
“….”
An unnatural development no matter who sees it.
I judged such a development as ‘the original’s deterrence against the future that has changed due to my intervention’.
In my uneasy mind-
“Let me help you.”
I told Toyoda to help me and came out together. Not only Toyoda, but also the teacher seemed to like it. Thanks to that, I was able to hear unintentional praise. There was nothing bad about it because the impression was high, so it could be said that it was a good thing.
That’s why I went all the way to the teacher’s office, packed my things, and walked down the hallway with Toyoda until I came across a set of stairs that I had to go through to get to my destination.
It is difficult to see ahead due to piled up luggage. So, as I walked carefully up the stairs, I suddenly saw sh*tsuji Joshi from up there.
She’s coming down alone thinking about something. She is like that
“Huh?”
Then suddenly she tripped and started to fall. It was clear from her position that if she fell like this, she would bump into Toyoda and cause them both to fall.
It’s a world in anime where people don’t get hurt by things like this, but there are always risks.
So even in the middle of my surprise, I threw her luggage on her floor and quickly went under her and grabbed her.
“After….”
And after a moment of leaning back, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. It was a reaction that was possible because I was nervous because I expected something to happen.
As I let out a sigh of relief for her, I somehow felt her holding my arms and holding her breath. Look very surprised. I got her to stand upright like that, and then I got away from her, and I could see her with her eyes wide open, blankly putting her hand on her own heart. There was.
“Are you okay?”
When I spoke to her like that, she straightened her body as if she came to her senses. She glanced at me once and then hurriedly went down.
“Thank you….”
With a small voice saying thank you.
