Vol 2 Chapter 3 (1/2)

The Third Question

In order to decide what kind of activity the class should do, can all students please assist in this survey

'What kind of attire is suitable for running a teahouse?'

Himeji Mizuki's answer:

'A cute apron commonly used at home'

Teacher's comment:

It really does have the atmosphere for a school festival, and doesn't require a lot of ood idea

Tsuchiya Kouta's answer:

'Skirt 15cm above the knees, the upper body must be like the skirt, with a nice eance I hope that a light blue colour hite as the base colour can be used The tray should be made of shi+ny silver that can reflect the face onto it, and the shop's logo should be on it The shoes should be high heels, 5cm tall—'

Teacher's comment:

You don't have to write on the back of the paper, do you?

Akihisa Yoshi+'s answer:

'Brassiere!'

Teacher's comment:

Sensei believes that you mistook 'brassiere' for 'blazer'

”Sakamoto normally looks like an idiot, but his leadershi+p is really impressive”

”Yup, normally, he'll be an ordinary idiot”

It's theof the Cool Summer Festival today

From the normal dirty classroom, our classroom has transformed into a Chinese teahouse

”On first glance, this table seems really different from what it really is”

The tables placed around the classroom are actually just those cardboard boxes that we use in class By arranging the a nice tablecloth over it, even lousy boxes can become a luxurious table

”Ah, this is done by Kinoshi+ta-san I don't knohere he got this beautiful tablecloth, but he was able to turn them into tables quickly and skillfully” Himeji-san stares at Hideyoshi+ with respect

I see This tablecloth is a prop that belongs to the draood

”Hh it looks decent, it'll be different once we pull up the tablecloth”

Hideyoshi+ pulls up the tablecloth What appears underneath are the dirty cardboard boxes that we're so used to seeing

”Our shop rating will drop a lot if the customers see this”

Minaht If these kind of lousy cardboard boxes are to be seen, it'll cause our shop to have a bad reputation

”It'll be no problem nobody will bother to look at them so closely Even if they're to be discovered, I'll tell that person to hide that secret in the heart”

”That's right nobody would deliberately flip up the tablecloth just to stir trouble”

If there's anyone who'll do this, then that person has no other motive except to disrupt our business

”The decorations inside the rooht?”

For the standards of a school festival, this is rather excessive With this, there should be a lot of people co over

”The tea's perfect as well”

”WAHH!”

Muttsuriini's voice suddenly ca his presence, but I do feel that there's no need for this in everyday life

”Muttsuriini, is the kitchen side OK?”

”Try it”

After saying it, Muttsuriini presents a wooden tub, tea and sesame balls are placed on the ceramic plate

”Walooks yummy”

”Tsuchiya, you don't ht?”

”(nods his head)”

”Then I won't hold back now”

Himeji-san, Mina the just fried and warm sesame ball into their mouths

”Woah, it's good!”

”Ya! Crispy on the outside, yet chewy, the texture is great!”

”Sweet, yet not too sweet, it's good”

The snacks are rated highly Girls really like sweets huh, all three of them

”The tea is good as well, this is wonderful”

”Yeah”

Himeji-san and Minami look rather dreaood?

”Then I'll have one”

Muttsuriini passes the re ball over to me

Because there's no toothpick, I took it with my hand and took a small bite

”Mh and hard on the outside, sticky on this inside, not too sweet or too spicy—ARGHH!!”

A sound that no human can make came out of my mouth, and what appear in front of me are the memories of my 16 years Ahh, those are the wonderfulwait a sec, aren't these the final lights before death?

”Ah, Himeji made that”

”! (Stuffs it in frantically)”

”Mu, Muttsuriini! Why must you reveal such a terrified expression and stuff that sesame ball into my mouth? Impossible! I can't do it!”

Muttsuriini stuffs the re half of the sesame ball into my mouth This is a special snack that will cause people to see the white lights!

No ordinary person should be allowed to eat it!

”Hey guys, I'm back—”

At that moment, Yuuji came back

”Ah, Yuuji, welcome back”

”Hood How's the taste?”

After that, he pops the biochemical weapon that I took a bite of into his mouth without any hesitation

”What a great guy”

”Yuuji, you're now elow here”

”I don't knohat you're sayinghh and hard on the outside, sticky on this inside, a bit too sweet and too spicy—ARGHH!!”

Ah, such a familiar scene

”Ah—Yuuji, does it taste good?”

I tried to use my eyes to say this to Yuuji, 'Hi too round

However, I can't et the e

”Hoo, seems like there's no problem”

Yuuji, who's still lying on the ground, finally replies, ”Can I cross that bridge now?”

That must be the Sanzu river

”Yuu, Yuuji! You can't cross it! You can't come back if you cross it!”

Thinking about how one bite can become a fatal blow, the food that Hi

”Eh? What's wrong? What happened to Sakamoto-san?”

Hi in dreareat that she didn't see what happened

”Yeah, Sakaht?”

Up till now, Minaood sesame balls are delicious, so we can expect a boom in sales

”There's no probleot a cramp Oi, Yuu—ji—stand—up—now—”

Anyway, I jokingly called Yuuji to get up However, ht now, the chances of hi are half!

”60,000? Are you kidding!? If you have to pay a toll to cross the river, it has to be the San—ACK!”

Ah, good, he's successfully revived without anyone knowing

”Yuuji, did your leg get a cramp?”

Before he said so unnecessary, I spoke up There's no time for eye contact this time

”A cra me, it's that ball—”

”Then I'll let you have another one”

”I got a cramp because I hardly exercise”

Luckily, Yuuji's ood Even if it's me, I don't want to kill my classmate

(Akihisa, I'll kill you one day)

(No can do I'll get rid of you before you can kill me)

Our little laughter contains a conversation full of killing intent See, we're rather close

”H very often, huh?”

Not good The same situation as a while back made Minami suspicious

”Ah, you see, Yuuji has too et craets cramps on her chest, so she should understand—GUAH!!”

”There's no need for me to take action, huh”

Yuuji stares at me with much pity as I took a punch fro has been happening to me too many times recently

”Coo?”

Hideyoshi+ changed the topic s on

”H”

It's rare for Yuuji to use such an auous tone

Actually, he went to decide the subjects under the principal's orders But we can't say this dishonest uous answer on the spot

”Oh, so that's what happened~ it's been hard on you”

Hi a sirl

”Nope, don't ht?”

”That's correct”

”No problems with the tea and snacks”

Is there really no problem? A hint of unrest crept up in ot mixed in

”Alright, then I'll let Hideyoshi+ and Muttsuriini handle the teahouse for now Akihisa and I have to settle the first su battle”

After saying this, he pats on the backs of both Hideyoshi+ and Muttsuriini

”Eh, you're participating in the su tournament as well?”

Mina as she stares at me

”Eh? Ah, mm, because of some matters”

I gave an auous answer The school principal told us not to 'tell anyone about the inside story regarding the tickets', thus, I can't talk about it But, why not?

”Are youai for the prize?”

Mina look

”H like that”

To be specific, we just want to exchange the prizes for the improvement in facilities

If so, can we also exchange the platinu to rumours, there are bracelets that allow a person to summon two summoned beasts and can also replace teachers to be soh I don't really want it, it's nice to wear it if I can get it

”You want to go there?”

”Eh?”

Mina intent!

”Yoshi+-kun, I also want to knoho do you want to go with?”

Before I noticed it, Hione into battle mode as well

Both of the about the tickets

This is bad! I never intended to go with anyone, just wanted to hand it over to the principal However, due to the agreement, I can't say the reason so honestly

”Akihisa is going with me”

Just as I' to find an answer, Yuuji quipped

On hearing this, Minae for you to find it weird

”EH? You're going to use the tickets to go on the 'Happy Journey' with Sakamoto?”

Because this is a new development that even I'm shocked by it

You idiot! Who wants to go on a happy journey with Yuuji!? This will cause a super huge !!!

(Akihisa, endure it! That old hag will break the agreeets revealed!!)

Yuuji whispered to htest, this is for Hion

”I refused a few tiet rid of him”

EH? WHAT? I'VE BEEN BETRAYED!!??

”Aki, compared to Kinoshi+ta, you're obviously more attracted to Sakamoto”

”HOLD ON A MINUTE! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT 'OBVIOUSLY' MEANT! ALSO, HIDEYOshi+, STOP LOOKING SO LONELY, EVEN IF IT'S A BIT!!”

Not good If this keeps up, the wrong infor on the 'o up!!

”Yoshi+-kun As you're a guy, if possible, try to be interested in girls”

”If it was possible, Akihisa wouldn't be so tired”

”YUUJI, PLEASE STOP SAYING THIS AS A MATTER OF FACT!!? YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY INTENTION TO COVER FOR ME!!”

One day, I'll settle the score with this guy

”Ah, tio, Akihisa”

”Ugh! Anyway, it's a !!”

Like a s some vicious words to defend himself, Yuuji and I leave the classroom behind us

”Ahein now”

The sue located at the field

”Before the third battle begins, on't be showing the battles to outsiders, so do your best”

The one in charge of this is the maths teacher, Kinouchi-sensei, so of course, the topic tested is maths

”Let's do our best, Ritsuko”

”Nn”

The two girls, who are our opponents, nod their heads This is truly a scene worth s at

Come to think of it, where have I seen them before

”Then, summon your beasts”

”Summon!”

As both of theic array appeared beside them Two miniature head-sized test summon beasts that take the appearance of the summoners appear from them

B class, Iwashi+ta Ritsuko, Maths 179 points & B class, Kikuiri Mayumi, Maths 163 points

Two summoned beasts that possess similar equipment appear opposite They have Western style helmets and swords They look like a

”Then we should start su as well”

”Alright”

”Summon”

Our summoned beasts appear My summoned beast is still equipped with a modified uniforenius, our class rep's summoned beast is—

”barehanded?”

It doesn't look like it's holding anything Is it an invisible sword?

”You idiot, look closely”

Yuuji lets the summoned beast raise its fists for me to inspect,

”Isn't it wearing metal knuckles?”

”You, you small fry! There's small fry here!”

How is it possible to have such a weak suh the knuckles are his weapons, I have never seen a summoned beast that has such lousy equipment!

”We're co up, you field trip brothers”

”Ritsuko, that's wrong, they're delinquents”

Our su modified uniforms, one with a wooden sword and one withof the opponent

F class, Sakamoto Yuuji, Maths 179 points & F class, Yoshi+ Akihisa, Maths 63 points

Our marks are shown on the screen as reference

”Oi, YuYuuji!”

”What?”

”Why's your score so high?”

To think that he got 179, it's comparable to B class He's supposed to be an idiot! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE AN IDIOT!!

”Ever since the last su battle, I started to study hard in order to beat 'A' class”

For so this with an unhappy look

To be able to improve so much in such a short tienius

”However, why do you want to work hard?”

Yuuji should be trying to prove that 'those who can't study can still succeed' as he challenged 'A' class Is there a reason for hiainst his ideals?

”Before this, Shouko asked me a question”

”What question?”

”Where do we have our wedding?”

Kirishi+ma-san is really fond of him, eh?

”I CAN'T LOSE NOW!! IF I CAN'T WIN NEXT TIME, MY LIFEMY LIFE WILL BE!!!!”

”YUUJI, CALM DOWN! YOU TWO CAN MAKE A HAPPY FAMILY!!”

I held onto Yuuji froe

I see, that's why Yuuji has started to study

”Can you guys get started?”

Kinouchi-sensei looks at us worriedly, and the other two competitors seem rather surprised

”Ah, we're sorry There's no problem, you see”

”I don't want to have the wife's family name! I don't want to become Kirishi+ma Yuuji—UWAAHH!! WHAT?”

Anyway, let's punch hiet him back to normal This is another method to repair Yuuji once he's spoilt—the second way

”Though sensei is a bit worried, please start the match”

After saying this, Kinouchi-sensei started to back away, as according to standard procedures

Facing against the opponent, our in

”Ritsuko!”

”Mayumi!”

””Let's go!!””

After calling each other's names, both of our opponents nodded their heads, and then startto surround us

”Oh~ their teamwork is decent”

”It's not bad For girls when they like to go play housework, it's rather notable”

Yuuji and I nodded at each other With our deep bonds, we only need to look at each other in order to understand the other person's thoughts

”THISTHIS IS TOO DISRESPECTFUL!!”

”OUR TEAMWORK IS THE STRONGEST!!”

The duo froue back

Can't stand them Since it has come to this—let us show you what is real teamwork

”Yuuji!”

I glance atmy intentions With our deep relationshi+p, we only need to exchange glances in order to understand e're both thinking

”Akihisa!”

I also nod my head in response to my partner's call We both then took a deep breath, each saying our own suggestions

””I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU!!””

Our suggestions are completely the same as both of us jump back at the same time

”Yuuji, what's the idea! Hoe settle this when both of us want to let the other person handle the opponents!?”

”Nope, this is definitely the time for you to step up, no? I haven't su battle the last time, did I?”

”What!? You useless bum! At least you'll be my shi+eld!”

”What do you mean by 'useless'! Your score's like trash!+”

”You're rather talkative, eh? ALRIGHT, GET OUT OF HERE!!”

”Just what I wanted!!”

We both grabbed each other's collar I had never expected him to be this stupid!!

”Boys' friendshi+p is really weird”

”Good thing we're girls”

EH! They dare to look down on us like that!

”Ah, ahem”

In order to drag the tiet about the cohed for a while and said, ”Looks like our teamwork is evenly matched, huh?”

””EH EH!?””

The two girls responded in unison What's with the this sort of expression!?

”However, besides observation, we have soence'! Even if our tea smartly, we'll definitely win!”

”Don't uy is somewhat on that side”

Though it see in a certain direction, it's better not to think about it right now

”Yuuji, hurry up and present the battle plan!”

I said to Yuuji, who's standing besiderelated to this battle

”Alright, this is my battle plan”

Yuuji enthusiastically laid out the battle plan

”Akihisa is to hold off one of the opponents—”

”Uh huh”
