The school’s idea is to finish these big events in one go, so after the sports festival, the preparation for the cultural festival starts immediately in our high school.
Come to think of it, we talked about this before the summer break and decided what we were going to do.

“So, let’s decide on our class performance!”
The discussion of the festival’s entertainment began under the direction of Ryuki, who was standing at the podium.
“Well, it’s a school festival performance, but first of all, the number of restaurants is decided, so if you want restaurant, you’ll have to compete against other classes. It seems that third-year students are given priority, but every year second-year students It seems like eat and drink about half of it, so if you leave it to me, I’ll get it for you!”
Classmates yell at such lines from Ryuki.
I watched the scene from the sidelines, thinking that he was good at motivating everyone.
“And check the budget and the list of existing tools on the handout we just handed out. If you need anything additional, I’ll check with you each time. Then, raise your hands if you have a presentation you’d like to do!”
Classmates then raised their hands one after the other and began proposing their own acts.
The cultural festival is a special event for students, so everyone’s eyes are shining.
I didn’t get actively involved in last year’s festival and just did the work as instructed, so I’m sitting there with dead fish eyes hoping that’s what I’ll be doing this year too.
“Yes, yes! I still think the classic café is the way to go!”
“Houhou, not bad, even if it’s a bit conventional.
Well, I’m saying that without thinking about the budget, but I’ll put it on the shortlist anyway.”
A number of candidates are then listed.
Yakisoba, tapioca, fried food, donuts, haunted house, target practice.
From food to non-food items, a wide range of ideas were raised, and when most of the ideas in the class had been boiled down, Ryuki, who had been writing on the blackboard, opened his mouth.
“I’m going to make it a quick majority vote, okay? …… Then I’ll ask you in about five minutes, so please think about it~”
“Well then, since the café got the most votes, we’ll decide on the café, is that alright?”
In the end, the café that got the most collective votes won the election, with a nice spread of votes.
It was like a satire of some country’s elections, and it was hilarious.
By the way, I put my vote in the target. I’m good at it.
“However, I’m going to tell the student council about my decision, and from there it’ll probably be a lottery, so if I miss the lottery, it’ll be the second. Well then, we have a little more time, so let’s decide on the details.”
I was told that it could be the number two, so I plonked myself down on the desk and fell asleep, thinking that second would be meaningless.

“As we decided before the summer break, our class is going to have a café”
The day after the sports festival holiday, I wondered if it would be possible to start preparing for the café, let alone the festival, but some of my classmates, including Ryuki, had already completed the necessary procedures for the summer holidays, and the rest of the class interior and the shifts on the day of the festival would be decided.
I listened to the member’s conversation, feeling a little uncomfortable about this discussion as I hadn’t done any work over the summer holidays.
“Well, we’re going to start by deciding on the shift for the day, and we’re going to be split into kitchen and hall, so raise your hand if you want to work in the kitchen!”
When he said that, I looked around the class and saw many people (especially girls) raising their hands.
As I’m not a very good cook, I’m thinking that I’ll have to choose the hall.
“That’s a bit much~. Speaking of which, both boys and girls in the hall are dressed in tuxedos”
Huh?!
Now, though the unheard word was announced slurringly.
Not a normal blazer or something, but a tuxedo?
“Also, I’ve used my authority as a committee member to force some of the guys to be in the hall! I’ve even prepared tuxedo from the hotel where my parents work, so those guys have no right of veto!”
I have a bad feeling about this.
I mean, your parents were hotel staff, that’s new to me.
Then a few men’s names are called out, some respond well, some unenthusiastically.
On the other hand, there were a variety of guys who responded in disgust.
“And finally – …… Hikaru!”
(Of course~)
I sigh deeply in my heart. Somehow I had a bad feeling about this.
“The tuxedo~, it looks good on you, doesn’t it? Hikaru!”
He gets off the podium and says something like that in a whisper.
I shrugged my shoulders as I sat down, making a blatantly disgusted face.
“o, it’s not about whether it suits you or not, it’s wrong to make me work the hall. I can’t do customer service or anything like that.”
“Don’t worry, I’m telling you, it’s a no-brainer! Besides, my father, a hotelier, picked out the tuxed. I’m sure you’ll look great in it!”
He’s not joking.
I have never worn a ‘tuxedo’ in my life, and in the first place, serving customers in cafes and other fashionable spaces is not my style.
“Please, Hikaru. this place is for our cultural festival. Besides, it’s bad enough you were asleep.”
Ryuki is grinning as he says this, but honestly, I have no room to argue with him.
I realise that there’s no point in rebelling any further, so I nod helplessly.
“…… I understand.”
When I agreed, he went back to the teaching platform.
“I feel sorry for the girls, so I won’t make it compulsory, but is there anyone else who wants to do it~?”
When I looked around the class, thinking that there was no one like that, I saw one right hand raised high in the air.
I wonder if it’s just my imagination that for some reason I feel like that person’s gaze is directed towards me.
“Whoa, Matsumura-san! That’s nice~”
With Hina’s candidacy, if Hina was going to do it, then I and a few other girls also ran for the position, and from then on the roles were decided without any trouble.
