It wasn't too difficult to sort out the budget and make a plan, especially after deciding on the theme of acting and acting - the Christmas project for the whole society naturally could not use the normal script of the cultural festival - "Romeo and Juliet" or the magic change built on it, under the advice of the snow, Isshiki finally decided to use "The Gift of the Magi" as the blueprint for the script, considering the limited characters and uncomplicated background of the story, it was indeed a good choice in the case of lack of time.

- Although the story still makes people feel a little sad. The two who value each other can obviously give what they value most for each other, but, by mistake, their kindness did not bring a good ending. Of course, we can say that this story is mainly concerned with the deep relationship between husband and wife, and rising to the level of social criticism is to expose the miserable life and the like - but no matter how the story looks, the couple still regrets the feelings after receiving each other's gifts and being touched for a moment, right?

So, the story is still a tragedy, and a great tragedy, and there is no greater tragedy than the deviation of the affection shown by two people who value each other - but Isshiki should have chosen this script only because of its easy rehearsal nature, although this story does give me some bad memories.

"So, in order to celebrate the theme and continue to work hard for tomorrow's rehearsals and prop production, let's go to karaoke today!" said Isshiki after deciding on the plan.

Celebrate before you start working, celebrate when you solve a problem, and celebrate when you finish your work - celebration seems to be a necessity for this type of girl to relieve the huge pressure of work and study, and when it comes to celebrating, it is dessert and karaoke, considering the damage of dessert to the body, karaoke has become the best choice.

My sister decisively agreed, and it didn't seem to be too much of a resistance to Yui-sama's request recently, so my opinion was naturally ignored.

Of course, I don't hate karaoke, and it's not impossible to go somewhere else after a part-time job and a frequent two-point one-line life from school to home – if not at this karaoke club.

"The environment here is very good, and more importantly, I have worked here, right? If you meet a familiar clerk, you can give us a discount, right?" explained Ichiyu, when he proudly brought us here.

"Even if it's an acquaintance, you have to come according to normal standards, do you think this is a small restaurant?

"Well, that's right—but since you're already here, why don't you go in and have a look?And how do you know you can't get a discount if you've never been here as a guest? Not everyone is as upright about rules and regulations as you are. ”

"Even though I've worked here, considering that it was three months ago and there are a lot of temporary workers in this industry, I don't think it's very likely that I know the current employees – okay!"

I couldn't help but frown when I saw Aunt Inoue in the distance—of course I didn't know the temporary worker, the problem was, if it was Inoue Obasan, a regular employee.

"Isn't it?" Isshiki quickly realized the change in my expression, and squeezed his eyebrows and encouraged me, "Me and the two seniors will not go up, and everything will be left to you!"

I shook my head helplessly—I realized that it was probably because the strange relationship with Isshiki had lasted too long, and that I was a little uncomfortable when she was so skilled again. However, this style should be the normal state of a color feather, isn't it?

When I noticed Inoue-senpai, she noticeably noticed me as well.

"I didn't expect you to come here again after such a long time, Yubihama, and you came here with so many girls?

"Let's not talk about the others, don't you know my sister? Is it strange that my sister brought her friend and called me here by the way?"

"But it's weird that your sister's friends would be willing to let her call you, right?"

"Who knows, maybe I play the role of a distressed little brother who is particularly weak in school and easy to be bullied and easy to deceive my seniors?"

"It's just Yuhihama—" Inoue looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "I'm sorry I can't imagine that." ”

"So please don't speculate on my image - you just made up the image of me as a playboy because I came to karaoke with a few girls, right?"

"To be reasonable, this image is possible, after all, you always had such a good time chatting with Yukina before. ”

"That's two different things - besides, small talk is not allowed during working hours, I remember that this is an important rule and regulations that my seniors told me, why are you talking to me so happily now, senior?"

"Ahh ”

"Huh??"

"And even if I say that, you've got a good chat — I just changed the amount of time you spent chatting at the counter from 10 minutes to 5 minutes, which is objectively important, and that's enough time for you to have a lot of guests. ”

"If I were still an employee here, I would have complained. ”

"Well, I have to take into account my seniors, I'm kind!" Inoue-senpai said earnestly, "Speaking of Yukina, it seems that she rarely comes to sing shortly after Yubihama finishes her part-time job, is there something going on between you?"

"It's nothing, she has the same reason as me, right?" I quietly shifted the question, "I quit my part-time job to prepare for the cultural festival, and she also has to prepare for the cultural festival performance with her own club, and you know, she is still a candidate, so she doesn't have much time. ”

"I remember that Yukina didn't have club activities?"

"It was added before the cultural festival. ”

"Is there any particular reason?"

"Didn't you?"

"Okay, so you mean, after that, Yubihama, your connection with Yukina has faded?

"There's no way! The senior is a candidate, and the candidate is very busy, and she can't always chat with a first-grade kid like me, she has to concentrate on preparing for the exam, so it's normal for her to lose contact with me!

"Okay, okay, you don't have to stress the word 'normal' so much, your constant emphasis on the word will make me feel abnormal. ”

"Uh-"

"But I still think it's a pity, I think Yukina values you very much, and shouldn't just be in touch with you. ”

"It should be normal after the exam, right?"

In the face of these words of Aunt Inoue, I can't help but feel a little headache - obviously when I was at work, I did everything possible to prevent me from talking to my seniors, but now she is so interested in this topic, does she like to see others feel embarrassed?

Fortunately, Inoue didn't delve into this issue in the end, and seemed to realize that there were still a few people waiting with their necks stretched behind me, and she quickly gave me the key to my room.

"Now, room 23 is exactly a room for 4 people, it's more suitable, right?

So, do acquaintances really have discounts?

"However, on the other hand, the adjustment of the equipment or something, you can do it yourself, but you haven't worked for three months, so you shouldn't forget it, right?"

"Definitely not. ”

I took the key to my room and went back to the crowd - explaining my long conversation with Inoue seniors about how I had struggled to get a discount.

"Xiaohe is still very hard! Who of you hates such a thing as bargaining the most, right?" my sister looked at me with tears in her eyes and thanked me sincerely.

Being able to see my sister's expression also alleviated a lot of discomfort caused by the previous conversation with Inoue's seniors.

Although I was very unhappy that she didn't even want to help with the opening of the door and equipment - if the layout of the karaoke changed during the three months I was away, then we would be lost, right?

Of course, the layout of the karaoke did not change, and when I led everyone along the familiar passage to the door of room 23, I realized why Inoue Senpai just gave me the key and let me solve the next problem by myself.

Next to the No. 23 box, the No. 21 single box - the exclusive box of Yukina Kogi.

The walls of the karaoke are well insulated, but if you stand at the door, you can still hear the faint melody in the box and the voices of the people singing.

If I'm not mistaken, it's the familiar melody of "White Album" and the singing voice of Yukina Kogi.

It's no accident that Obasang arranged box 23 for us!
