Act 3 - The School Festival
20-3
"Then, I'll leave the rest to Kakihara-kun and Nikaido-san?" (Harukawa-sensei)
"Understood." (Yuusuke)
Kakihara and Nikaido stand up and take their place at the teacher's desk, replacing Harukawa-sensei.
"Now, let's decide on what we're going to present right away. Can those with opinions raise their hands?" (Yuusuke)
And so, the discussion smoothly transitions to the topic of what to put on the school festival.
Kakihara listens to the opinions while Nikaido writes them on the blackboard.
It seems that this format is established without much discussion between both of them, perhaps due to their long-standing relationship.
"Me, me! I want to suggest a haunted house!"
"A haunted house, huh? It's a classic as the first suggestion." (Yuusuke)
One boy's opinion is added to the blackboard.
During our freshmen time, the haunted house, which is relatively a popular attraction, was handled by the sophomores under the authority of the grade.
Or rather, it could be said that the popular attractions were all monopolized by the sophomores.
It was somewhat inevitable, as the seniors were struggling with entrance exams, and the sophomores already understood the know-how and had more freedom to act.
As a result, the sophomores' requests were more likely to be granted.
"What about something like a show? Like a theater or a dance show, something in the performance category."
"A show, huh... It sounds quite challenging, but it also sounds worthwhile." (Yuusuke)
One girl's opinion is added to the blackboard, adding up the choices to two.
"We'll hear more suggestions about the content of the show after all the opinions have been given. Now, please share other ideas." (Yuusuke)
"Ah...... How about a café? I think it's also a classic."
"Sounds good. Since the sophomores were mainly in charge of the café last year, everyone might have been holding back their frustrations." (Yuusuke)
Kakihara jokingly says so, and laughter erupts among us.
Most of our classmates can relate to it.
The café is also a popular attraction on par with the haunted house, and last year it was, as expected, monopolized by the current seniors.
It's no wonder that many of them are fired up about it this year.
By the way, I'm the type who's pretty much fine with anything as long as it's not too much of a hassle.
It's not like I really want to do a café or haunted house, so for now, I'll just go along with the atmosphere and laugh.
"Feel free to express your opinions. It's okay to have as many opinions as you want here." (Yuusuke)
In times like this, Kakihara is definitely reliable.
With his precise leadership, the brainstorming proceeded quite smoothly.
And through voting, the idea of a café, which everyone had admired, ended up surviving.
Well, I guess it's reasonable up to this point.
"――――Alright, then we'll go with a café. The question is what kind of café we'll present... Do you have any opinions, Azusa?" (Yuusuke)
"Me? Hmm... Maybe a Japanese-style café. It would be fun if the girls dressed in kimonos and the boys in jinbeis served the customers, don't you think?" (Azusa)
"That's a good idea! Write it down for now." (Yuusuke)
There might be a slight bias in Kakihara's excitement, but Nikaido's opinion itself is not bad.
There's no need for flashy decorations, and if we make traditional Japanese sweets like clear warabimochi, it'll still attract attention and become a hot topic within the school. And in fact, the process of making it is surprisingly simple.
After several ideas were proposed, the final choices narrowed down to "Japanese-style café," "Maid-butler café," and "Cross-dressing café."
While it's only the classic choices that still remained. It's understandable because most high school students yearn for them.
"We surprisingly made it this far smoothly. Now, let's decide which genre to go with through another voting." (Yuusuke)
"Kakihara! Before that, I have a question!"
Just as they are about to move on to another voting, a lively boy raises his hand.
"Hmm? What's it?" (Yuusuke)
"If the maid café chosen, will Otosaki-san also cosplay?"
With those words, everyone's (mostly boys) attention turned to Rei.
Until now, she has been mostly on the sidelines, but now she wears an expression of confusion as she suddenly becomes the center of attention.
"Eh...... Me?" (Rei)
"EEH?! I wanna see Otosaki-san in a maid outfit!"
Following that, the excited voices of the girls could be heard.
Being able to see a popular idol dressed in a maid outfit up close is not something that happens often.
For fans, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a lasting memory.
"......I don't think I can do it on the first day because the general public will also come, but I think it will be fine on the second day." (Rei)
"""WHOAAAAA!"""
How many times have I heard this cheer today?
The enthusiasm of my classmates is so overwhelming that even Rei, who is usually composed, looks perplexed.
"Ah, let me say this first. Otosaki-san will only participate in the school festival on the second day. On the first day, the general public can enter, and it wouldn't be good if something happened." (Harukawa-sensei)
"Understood, Sensei."
Everyone agrees with Harukawa-sensei's words.
Our school's cultural festival takes place over two days, with the first day open to the public. And the second day is reserved for the students to enjoy.
If Rei were to serve customers or walk around while the general public is present, it would be chaotic and not conducive to the festival.
This is a classic reminder that becoming famous is not always a good thing.
"Hahaha... given the current situation, it seems like it has already been concluded, but let's take a voting just to be sure." (Yuusuke)
With a somewhat astonished expression, Kakihara asks for a show of hands, and about 80% of the class raises their hands for the maid and butler café.
Following the flow, I also raise my hand modestly for the maid and butler café.
It doesn't matter which one, but it's a safer choice to go with the majority.
Though, I have no ulterior motive either.
――――――Or do I?
"Then, let's decide on the menu and work distribution right away. Does anyone have any suggestions?" (Yuusuke)
In response to Kakihara's question, several hands go up.
All of them are the ones who have been giving opinions and suggesting ideas for the café from the beginning.
Tea, coffee, cola, and juices like orange juice.
As the drinks are mostly decided, the focus shifts to the food.
"The drinks are decided, I guess. Now, moving on to the foods......" (Yuusuke)
"Kakihara-kun, why don't we ask Shidou-kun for advice on food?" (Azusa)
"Huh, ask Rintaro?" (Yuusuke)
Suddenly, Nikaido mentions my name and the whole class turns their attention towards me.
It is so sudden that I can't hide my surprise.
"M... Me?" (Rintaro)
"Yes. You were really efficient during the cooking practice the other day, so I thought we could rely on you if we need to make something." (Azusa)
"O-oh...... so that's what you meant." (Rintaro)
Kakihara, Nogi, and Doumoto, who were in the same group during the cooking practice, look somewhat contented.
And when I see Rei nodding discreetly, trying not to be noticed by everyone, I let out a small sigh.
"I can't think of anything right now, but I had a menu in mind that I wanted to propose if we were to have a Japanese-style cafe. It's a clear warabimochi......" (Rintaro)
"Clear? What it means?" (Yuusuke)
"It's clear because it's made with potato starch. It's not that difficult to make, and I think it can be surprisingly light." (Rintaro)
"Oh, that sounds good! Can we take it as a suggestion for now?" (Yuusuke)
"Yes, it's okay, I guess." (Azusa)
The words "clear warabimochi" that I proposed are written on the blackboard.
It's a seriously random suggestion, but I'm relieved that no one opposed it.
Somehow, it's kind of embarrassing to be relied upon by my classmates like this.
However, it's not a bad one either.
"Keep conveying more of your opinions and ideas like this. The school festival is the most exciting event in our high school life, no exaggeration. That's why, let's do our best so that we won't have any regrets in the future." (Yuusuke)
Kakihara's speeches make me feel that the class is coming together more and more.
Although Kakihara had become more of a good-for-nothing person due to being in love, when he took the lead, his charisma was undeniable.
That is why, Nikaido, could you please look at the person next to you instead of me? I beg you, please.
