Chapter 6: Outcome of the Vote
“Alright, majority rule”
It was the following night After the usual day of work, they were once athered around a table at the back of Sherry’s tavern Drinks were ordered and delivered to the table, but no one had made a lanced at his companions one by one
Ranta was leaning back in his chair; arzo’s expression was solelued to the floor while Yuet this over with already? Mary was her usual cool and collected self
Haruhiro took a deep breath “The question is whether or not we sign up to participate in Operation Twin-Headed Snake Those for participating, raise your hand”
“ME! I SAY YES!” Both of Ranta’s hands shot straight up into the air
Mogzo’s followed a little htly, then lowered it again, then raised and lowered it again Mary remained still, as if frozen in place When Haruhiro started to lift his hand up, shi+horu followed suit, just like he thought she would She looked froain
“Ho…” Yue tone
“Hm…” Mary’s eyes widened in surprise
“Huh?” Mogzo blinked several times and tilted his head to one side
“What the…” Ranta ju from raised hand to raised hand as he counted “One, two, three, four, five… FIVE!?”
“Uh, Ranta…” Haruhiro sighed “You can’t count both your hands”
“What!? No I didn’t!” Ranta denied “No way, I’m not that retarded! Oh wait… oops Yeah, I did So, uh… four That’s still the majority”
“Yeah I guess it’s decided then,” Haruhiro said “We’ll sign up to participate”
“Uh…” Ranta started to say
“What? Majority wins, so what’s the problem?” Haruhiro asked
“Er… no problem—wait, hell yeah there’s a problem! Haruhiro, what the hell!? You want to participate now? Why the sudden change of head!?”
“Change of heart, Ranta,” Haruhiro corrected “The right way to say it is change of heart”
“Whatever! Shut up, Haruhiro! No one cares about that!” Ranta ranted “There’s no way a big spineless chicken like you could say yes so what’re you up to? Spit it out, Haruhiro! No, wait! I got it! I know exactly what you’re scheured that you’d lose the vote if you said no, so you decided not to go against everyone else and changed your vote to a yes! I’ you’d totally do!”
Ranta slapped Haruhiro several times on the back so hard that the sound echoed What the hell Quit that shi+t already… Haruhiro raged silently as his anger started to grow Why did Ranta have to do such Goddas all the time? Because Ranta was Ranta, that’s why
“QuitRanta’s ar that at all Besides, if you didn’t have otten your majority”
“Quit getting caught up in tiny details!” Ranta shot back “What are you, a ?”
“Magnifying glasses can’t vote”
“SEE WHAT I MEAN!? Tiny details!!!”
“And you’re so brash that you look at everything way too broadly,” Haruhiro said
“I’! Broad-armed, broad-minded, and broad-hearted!” Ranta proclaimed
“The correct ter-hearted’, Ranta,” Mary pointed out icily
“Err…” Ranta croaked, falling silent for a briefwith, “Haruhiro you still haven’t answered !? HACK IT UP AND shi+T IT OUT!”
“You’ve got such a dirty mouth, Ranta,” Yume frowned
“His entire existence is dirty,” shi+horu added, regarding Ranta as if he was soe pipe
Entire existence? Whoa That was pretty harsh But Haruhiro doubted that Ranta would be affected in any way, so… maybe he should just let it pass He had to adh If it were any other guy being told that by a girl… their feelings would be hurt pretty badly
“Actually, I want to know too,” Mogzo said, taking a sip of his beer “Haruhiro, why? I thought you were against participating because you orried that weourselves killed I mean, it’s natural that you’d be hesitant because you’re the leader…”
“Ha! A shi+tty leader too!” Ranta scoffed, gulping his beer then laughing
“N-no way! Haruhiro’s been doing his best for us!” Mogzo protested
“That’s right!” Yuood job!”
“I think so too,” shi+horu said
“Same,” said Mary
“What the hell!?” Ranta exclai? Well it ain’t gonna work so bring it on!”
Haruhiro put a hand over hiselation daarded hihly Except Ranta, that is But Ranta’s entire existence was an exception
Noasn’t the tih, so Haruhiro cleared his throat and said, “There’s lots of reasons…”
