Speaking of which, why was the bus they took in Shenxue scheduled to arrive too early at noon two days ago?

The reason is to attend a dinner party held in the evening.

Since it was a dinner party for high school students, of course there were no alcoholic beverages. The seatless buffet party in which the contestants who are about to score one point participate is like a small opening ceremony. Over the years, the tension has been more striking than the atmosphere of harmony.

"So I actually don't want to participate in ......"

Mayumi, as the student council president, made this inappropriate statement, and Li Na felt that he should have pretended not to have heard it.

The technical team belongs to the support staff, but they are also regular members of the arena activities, so they are obliged to attend the dinner.

When Li Na was in Hakoniwa, he also participated in a lot of bounty games outside of the plot, so he often participated in the so-called [post-war dinner].

However, that was before he was banned from the competition, and Li Na still misses this kind of dinner.

The uniform dress for the dinner party is the uniform of each school, so it's good not to worry about wearing it, but the borrowed suit-style uniform really doesn't fit well (a bit big, Li Na's figure is very petite), and I'm not used to it.

"Shouldn't I buy a new one......?"

Presumably a slight shaking of the body was discovered.

Deep Snow frowned worriedly at Li Na.

"Deep snow, it doesn't matter. Sorry to bother you. Li Na shook her head.

"No, please don't say that, brother." Miyuki smiled happily.

"Okay, brothers and sisters over there, it's forbidden to flirt."

If there is a meaning of the cool words, Li Na raised his eyes (really have to be raised, because Li Na is really short), and found that Kan Mayumi couldn't help but smile and looked at herself and Shenxue.

"Actually said flirting...... How is this? ”

Li Na said 'I can't afford to provoke him', and as soon as this sentence comes out, there will definitely be girls who don't know the truth to cast a strange look at him and Shenxue!

But Mayumi should just be the same, and I just want to entertain him.

Li Na had long understood that he would not get a serious response, so he still urged Mayumi to answer with his gaze.

But Mayumi's gaze was not on Rina, but at his side.

She looked like she was ready to laugh, and Li Na looked along her line of sight......

My sister! Why do you have to show such a 'exposed' expression?

"Deep Snow...... Why are you shy at this time? ”

“········” The younger sister bowed her head shyly.

"Guys, let's go."

Mayumi put away the negative attitude just now, and for some reason changed to urge everyone with a happy expression.

Li Na shook his head helplessly, is this regarded as a pastime to change people's mood?

There were 360 players participating in the Nine School Battles alone, and more than 400 logistics personnel.

On the surface, all members were required to attend the dinner, but there were certainly quite a few people who were absent for various reasons.

Even so, it was a large-scale sorority with up to three or four hundred participants.

The venue will have to be very large, and the hotel will need a lot of staff.

It's easy to speculate that the hotel's dedicated personnel and the support of the base alone will not be able to cope with it.

It is also acceptable for young people who are obviously working to go back and forth in the venue in the costumes of waiters.

However, if you find an acquaintance in it, you have to be surprised.

After the brief banquet speech, Li Na immediately went to pick up the meal, when a voice came from behind him.

With the 【Do you need a drink?' The familiar voice turned around to see Erica holding a tray of drinks in one hand.

"That's what happened to the people involved......

"Ah, you've heard Shenxue say? Shocked? ”

“…… Yes. In fact, he who knew the original plot was not scared at all.

Erica smiled happily, to which Li Na only nodded.

"I'm glad you were able to sneak in here...... No, this is a matter of course. ”

After all, it's such a place.

Even if we hire day-wage workers, we don't hire high school students easily.

There is also an age limit. Even if there are no alcoholic beverages at this dinner, the conditions will not be relaxed.

In fact, most of the waiters and waitresses who shuttled through the venue looked to be over 20 years old.

Maybe it's worthy of the Chiba family.

But she seems to have mistaken the door.

"But then again......"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"It's okay......"

Li Na was a little entangled.

In front of the parties, it is inconvenient to say things like "but then again, you have become so much".

Erica should also understand that her age is not good.

Her makeup is quite mature.

Even if you look at her so closely, she is about the same age as the other maids.

Erica usually gives the impression of being a lively and beautiful girl who matches her age, but she is slender and slender, and she is also very suitable for mature makeup.

At the same time, Erica didn't come alone.

There should also be Mitsuki with him.

Mitsuki doesn't like crowded places, and it's hard to say that she's suitable for receiving guests, so is she qualified to be a waitress at a dinner party?

"Hey, Erica, you're so cute, it's like that, it's the people involved."

Deep Snow joins the conversation, just to fill the gap in time caused by Li Na's silence.

"That's it. How's that, cute, isn't it? However, Tatsuya refused to praise at all. ”

Erica turned her body from side to side, causing the Victorian suit-style waitress uniform skirt to flutter lightly, while speaking dissatisfied.

Li Na wanted to speak out and say that he was innocent, but he was preempted by Deep Snow to speak first.

"Erica, it's useless to ask my brother for such a thing."

Shenxue smiled and shook her head, compared to Li Na, it was Erica who stared at her with surprised eyes.

Shenxue's statement was not to favor Li Na but to deny it, which surprised Erica.

- However, this is Erica's premature conclusion.

"My brother is not affected by the superficial nature of girls' clothing, but does appreciate our inner self, so he is not interested in the waiter uniform limited to this occasion."

In this case, the problem may not be the clothes, but the personality underneath the clothes.

"Oh, I see, Tatsuya-san is not interested in dressing up."

"Is this a cosplay?"

"I don't think so, but it looks like that in the eyes of boys."

The conversation between the two girls left the silent Li Na aside and went on with it.

"The boy you're talking about is a classmate of Xicheng?"

"That guy can't even say that level of opinion. The person who said it was a cosplay was Miki. But I've already fixed him. ”

That last dangerous word was clearly in Lina's ears.

But Deep Snow doesn't seem to care much about it.

“Miki？”

The person to whom the conversation is naturally uttered this completely unfamiliar proper noun, and it may be reasonable for Shenxue to be more concerned.

“…… Who is it? ”

Faced with Deep Snow's inquiry, Erica showed an 'ah' expression.

"Oh, I don't know."

Erica whispered, but ran away before she could stop.

"She's really good at it, and it seems that her balance is very good......"

Seeing Erica holding the tray with one hand and running away without spilling her drink, Li Na couldn't help but think of the same with the Black Rabbit when the banquet was held at the Community Meeting.

But after all, the black rabbit is hundreds of years old, and it is not surprising that he has fought for this community for so many years.

Fukatsuki thought that this opinion was a little off the line, but what she said was more unhindered.

"What the hell is going on?"

In fact, Shenxue did not expect an answer.

It's just that I suddenly couldn't keep up with the topic, so I asked casually in order to answer the conversation.

However, beyond expectations, my brother replied with a clear answer.

"She's supposed to be calling Gambigu. Yoshida Kanbiko, you should know the name, right? ”

"It's my brother's classmate, right?"

This name was at the top of the final exam and caused a topic, and Shenxue also remembered it clearly.

"He and Erica grew up together. Shenxue hasn't seen Ganbigu yet, she should want to be introduced? ”

I see, it really looks like Erika would do it.

Including the act of running away suddenly without saying a word.
