Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Cultural Festival and the Loafing Girl

"School festival?" Little Angel Asano Nazuki leaned over too.

"Shirakawa, what is our Calligraphy Club planning for this year? Should we ask the director?"

"Ah~ I really want to walk around the festival stalls, but the Light Music Club seems to be putting on a musical..."

"That’s a pity... Ise Yu, make sure to do your best with the stage play!"

"Eh? What... I wasn’t chosen to perform."

"..."

If you’re not performing, what are you complaining about!

Watching Asano Nazuki getting flustered by Ise Yu Yuzhijin, Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly felt a lot more balanced inside.

"Then what are you worrying about, Ise Yu?"

"Me? Of course, I’m torn between helping Asano and the Calligraphy Club friends plan for the culture festival, or truly enjoying the event myself..."

"Both ways have their advantages, and you can truly experience the joy of the culture festival... It’s so hard to choose..."

Shirakawa Sawahei really wanted to tell her, don’t worry, the cultural festival matters were previously all handled by Tsukimi Sakurazawa alone, with maybe just Tachibana Tomoku helping out.

As for someone like you who slacks off? Sorry, adding you would probably lower efficiency even more.

Where did she even hone this slacking skill? Could it be from being a doujinshi artist and procrastinating with deadlines?

Maybe I should check if Chieftain Hinata Rion has any slacking skills, if so, then it’s probably a professional skill.

A talent skill exclusive to creators like authors, manga artists, and illustrators.

"There aren’t any good ideas in our class yet, it’s always tough to gather suggestions." Kikuchi Takamiya said, troubled.

You know, in Neon, being a class leader isn’t a good job at all. All sorts of tiring work falls to him, and the classmates aren’t easy to serve, it’s totally a thankless task.

"Shirakawa, are you attending next week’s class meeting?" Kikuchi Takamiya suddenly said, "If it’s you, Shirakawa, it’d surely be very helpful."

"Me, me, me! I want to participate!" The cute little Ise Yu promptly raised her hand, fearing Class Leader Kikuchi would overlook her. She’s always full of energy when it comes to joining the fun.

"Alright, looking forward to your suggestions, Ise Yu." Kikuchi Takamiya pushed up his glasses and then said, "Asano, do you have any ideas?"

He genuinely wanted to gather the entire class to resolve this cultural festival issue together; the more people involved, the better. If he had to complete the planning all by himself, it would definitely be exhausting.

If I could do it again, I definitely wouldn’t run for this damn class leader position.

Asano Nazuki instinctively glanced at Little Bai.

She couldn’t quite gauge Shirakawa Sawahei’s attitude, if it were up to her own decision, she would certainly refuse outright.

Lady Kaori would never waste time attending such boring class meetings.

However, if Little Bai were to attend, she might miss out on a lot of information and opportunities if she didn’t go.

Kikuchi Takamiya’s lenses suddenly reflected a white light.

So that’s how it is.

As a class leader, skills in reading expressions and tones are essential. With such skills, how could he not see the hidden meaning behind Asano Nazuki’s gesture?

There’s no doubt, these two definitely have something going on.

As expected of Shirakawa, for Asano to have such a crush on him, even though she’s transferred here for so short a time.

Truly impressive!

Class Leader Kikuchi gave Shirakawa Sawahei a knowing smile but didn’t press Asano Nazuki for more. Switching his target, he said, "Shirakawa, I hope you can come to this class meeting."

Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated for a moment but still nodded, "I will, though I might not come up with any good suggestions."

"It’s fine, the purpose of a class meeting is to brainstorm." Kikuchi Takamiya said while jotting down a few notes in his little notebook.

"Then I won’t disturb your club activities, see you tomorrow."

No sooner did Kikuchi Takamiya leave than the cute little Ise Yu couldn’t help but come up.

"Hey, Shirakawa, what did the Calligraphy Club do last year? Was it an exhibition of all members’ calligraphy? It sounds really interesting~"

Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help but douse her enthusiasm, "I didn’t participate last year."

"Eh! You’re kidding, this is a rare part of youth~"

"Don’t you feel a huge regret, Shirakawa! Youth is something that never comes back!"

Apart from doujinshi plots and slacking off, you actually have this concept of youth in your little head?

"Are you going to participate this year, Shirakawa?" Asano Nazuki looked expectant.

Though unsure of how genuine her expectation was, Shirakawa Sawahei still replied, "Probably not going."

The school festival sounds quite boring, Shirakawa Sawahei has seen enough anime to more or less guess the routine.

Either open a shop, sell some snacks, and due to various reasons, the foot traffic is dismal. Then, the main character appears and, through effort, miraculously turns the situation around, doubling the sales several times over. Lastly, they earn an "Atsui" attribute title.

If the production team were kind enough to broadcast a bonus episode, there might even be a chance to see a heroine in a maid outfit.

Of course, if they didn’t open a shop, they could put on a stage play, encounter a mishap, then the main character descends like a deity to play the lead and saves the day, with the same reward of earning an "Atsui" attribute title.

With this attribute title, regardless of being a cold type, a tsundere, a loli, or an older sister type, their intellect reduces by 50%, and adding them to a harem is just a click away...

Hmm, if things don’t go well in the future, perhaps I could consider debuting by writing light novels.

Regardless, Shirakawa Sawahei’s impression of the cultural festival is not that eventful. The only thing worth noting is that during the festival, there are no classes, allowing him more freedom to do his own stuff.

"In that case, won’t it be just Tachibana, Department Director Tsukimi, and Asano working hard in the Calligraphy Club this year?" Ise Yu Yuzhijin clenched her fists, "Okay! I’ve decided! I’m going to help Asano and them."

"Honestly, it’s better if you don’t go." Shirakawa Sawahei tactfully said.

He really doesn’t want the Calligraphy Club members encountering any strange issues because of the unreliable slacking girl Ise Yu Yuzhijin.

If any issues arise, won’t it be him who’s asked to cover up?

"Why! Don’t you trust me, Shirakawa!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin puffed her cheeks in irritation.

"Pretty much."

"???"

Asano Nazuki struggled to hold back her laughter.

"Shirakawa..." Ise Yu Yuzhijin said wistfully, "With this attitude, you’ll definitely have a harem in the future."

"I accept your blessing." Shirakawa Sawahei was completely unfazed by such sarcastic remarks.

Not every sarcastic comment bears the name Huang Modong.

The cute little Ise Yu huffed, turned her head away. She was secretly determined to let Shirakawa Sawahei know what it means to have the tables turn!

Ise Yu Yuzhijin is definitely going to help with the Calligraphy Club!
