"I mean, it's almost time for you to come out, right?"

I spoke to the empty aisle behind me.

"Tomoyo, they're already far away."

"Ahhh~ It's a coincidence to meet here, senior."

With that familiar and troublesome sound, a shiny, fluttering ponytail head emerged from the corner behind.

"It's not a coincidence, is it?" For her super fake tone, I complained mercilessly, "How long have you been ambushed here?" ”

"It's really rude, Ka Nanako, I really met by chance this time."

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, senior, why do you have a subtle expression of "whatever you say, I don't believe it anyway"!"

"By the way, how did you get here?" Ignoring her protests, I looked at her curiously and asked, "I remember that Takamachi-kun said that the Ministry of Information would have a short meeting today, and he would come to rehearse later." ”

"Hmph~" snorted proudly, Usami clasped her hands and puffed up her chest, "Senior, you asked this question very well, because I..."

In order to create suspense, there was a general pause.

"———— bang! I managed to escape! ”

Wow, there's a guy here who is openly saying he's absent, and don't give me a thumbs up or stick out his tongue at me, it's not cute at all.

"As a deputy minister, is it really good that you don't attend?"

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, what the seniors said almost always means the same thing, and it's about rectifying discipline."

Spreading out her hands, Usami read with a bored expression, "To be honest, it's enough to say this a few times, and if you have to listen to it every day, you should spare me."

Don't wave your hands with an irrelevant face! Obviously, that discipline question is good for you!

"But I originally wanted to go to the drama department to see Ash by the way, but I didn't expect to meet you and Ash, seniors."

"Since you're here to find Zhidai, why don't you come out?"

"Huh?" Hearing me say this, Usami cast a disdainful look, "Please, I'm not a stupid person like a senior who is sluggish and can't understand the atmosphere." ”

This guy... It's true that I'm slow to look at the atmosphere, but there's no need to say it in front of me, right?! And you're the one who doesn't care about the atmosphere!

"So if I hadn't gone, weren't you going to show up?"

"How is that possible," Usami smiled, shaking her hand, "I'm not as idle as a senior, so I don't have so much time to play." ”

This black rabbit smiled innocently and said what cruel words!

"Then why don't you come out?"

Although I was dissatisfied, I still decided to maintain my proper bearing as a senior and not be like the little ghosts in the lower grades.

"Because..."

"Huh?"

“… Lai... Learn to..."

"Huh??"

Looking at her squirming and pinching, the question marks on my head kept increasing.

What is this guy talking about?

"Senior, do you know that you won't be popular like this?!"

Usami suddenly stopped squirming and squirming, and reprimanded me with a blushing face in annoyance.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

With a wave of my hand, I tried to soothe the black rabbit that was now frying.

"No, no, no, if I don't say it, doesn't it seem that I'm more petty than my senior?"

Very good, just saying this sentence The nature of the little belly chicken intestine has been revealed, don't think that I have a good temper and won't beat you.

"I said you, shouldn't you," although I didn't think it would be the case, but the only hypothesis I can think of now is this, "It's fear..."

"If you have to say it, that's pretty much it."

Scratching her cheeks, Usami avoided my gaze with a weak heart.

Oh, that Miss Usami, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can also have someone to be afraid of.

"When、Of course, my 'fear' isn't the 'fear' that seniors think," as if thinking I had misunderstood something, Usami hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "It's just that Sekawa-chan's words, I'm a little unable to deal with it." ”

“… This—That's it. ”

After all, Segawa-san, who seems to be serious to the point of not smiling, is indeed a very tricky opponent for a black rabbit who is not serious.

"Senior, are you thinking about something very rude?"

"No, no, no, that's a delusion."

"But I don't know if it's my delusion, but I feel like Sekawa-chan hates me a little."

"Maybe that's for sure."

Judging from the reaction just now, there is a good chance that this is the case.

And since you think so, shouldn't you reflect on the name of this Segawa-chan?

"Senior, you are really excessive, how can you calmly agree! My girl's heart has been hurt a lot. ”

"I'm so sorry."

Sure enough, you didn't have any reflection in the first place.

"That's right," I said, clapping my hands, and a question came to mind, "You only gave me the first part of the script." ”

"Well, it's not so much that I didn't write it, but that I didn't write it on purpose."

For Usami's words that seem to be dumb riddles, I must have a big question mark on my head.

But I do know one thing.

"Take it out before you finish it, are you serious?!"

"Well~ Senior, calm down first, there's a reason why I'm doing this."

"Why?"

"If you have a reason, please allow me to keep it a secret, senior, you just need to focus on the plot of the previous script."

"I can understand that you didn't write it at all, right?"

"It's not welcome to ask about Lady's secret like this."

What a secret are you... And apart from gender, I don't see anything in you that looks like a lady.

"I always feel very unhappy, senior, can I beat you?"

"Of course not!"

Met with her serious eyes, I refused with great certainty.

If she didn't refuse, she would definitely get a punch.

"The little family who can't give up a punch~"

"Don't think I'm going to pretend I didn't hear it when I pouted and put on a cute look."

"Cut~"

It's still cut.,Sure enough, there's no reflection at all.。

"Then I won't bother you, then I'll go first."

The thought of being alone with the black rabbit would be no good, and smiling so kindly at her that even I could fake myself, I waved my hand and planned to retreat like this.

But things didn't work out as I thought they would.

"Where do you want to go, senior," grabbed me by the shoulder, and Miss Rabbit behind her let out a bell-like laugh, "Aren't we on the same road?" ”

You don't even know where I'm going, how can you be sure we're on the same path?

"Anyway, senior, you're going to the drama department, and I'm also equipping the past."

As if hearing my complaint, Usami patted me on the back as if she were pleasant.

Speaking of which, Okazaki also said before that Usami and they are going to the drama club... It seems that there is no escape.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Shrugging my shoulders, I followed her.

———————————— Drama Department————————————

“… Is Izumi gone? ”

The door was opened, and Apricot cautiously poked her head inside to look inside.

"It's been a long time," beckoning at her to indicate that it was okay, and Okazaki asked curiously, "Izumi seems to be angry, what did you do again?" ”

"Well~ it's not so much what you did," waving his hand to indicate that it was a misunderstanding, Xing walked in and sat on the empty seat next to the starling, "Actually, this should be a good thing, right?" ”

"If it's a good thing, Izumi won't be angry."

"Well~ But if you have to say it, this is indeed a good thing."

Regarding Okazaki's complaint, Apricot tilted her head in annoyance and muttered.

"So what's going on?"

Looking around, everyone showed expressions of confusion, and Okazaki had no choice but to turn his head and continue to ask.

"Pengye, you're unexpectedly gossipy."

"Did I say you're trying to me off?"

"Haha~ How come, the truth is that Izumi's popularity is higher than I imagined."

"Popularity? What is that? ”

"Our class recommended the school festival committee in the morning.,Accidentally the spring was recommended up.。

"Don't tell me it's you."

"Actually, I didn't think Izumi would be chosen," crossed her hands, and Xing closed her eyes helplessly and sighed, "But I didn't expect that it seemed that because of the unexpected great work of the last cultural festival, it left a good impression on everyone, and basically won by an overwhelming number of votes." ”

"Isn't that amazing?!"

"Yes," said this, Xing paused, covered his mouth and looked away weakly, "So Izumi was elected as a member of the school festival.,It's estimated that because of the third-year student.,He'll be stuffed into the position of vice chairman.。 ”

"But it's weird," Okazaki asked suspiciously, frowning, "If Izumi doesn't want to, why doesn't he push it off?" ”

"Hahaha that, don't you know the reason?"

"What?"

"Didn't I knock Izumi out in the morning?"

“…”

"Huh... That's it, Izumi woke up and had already finished choosing. ”

"Apricot!"

"I know! I'm introspecting! ”

"Where is the spring now?"

"Let's go to a meeting."

"Anyway, I know," Okazaki walked back to his seat with a headache, covering his forehead, "Izumi takes care if he wants to settle accounts with you." ”

As he spoke, he drew a cross on her chest that Christ would bless you.

"Don't do that! Starling, Nagisa, and Kotomi, you won't leave it alone, right? ”

"Huh... Sister, it's better to apologize to Quanjun first. ”

"Well, Xiao Xing, I think so too."

"Little apricot... Got into trouble? ”

However, Starling, Furukawa, and Kotomi did not stand on the side of Apricot as expected.

"Wow, ah~ Don't be like this, everyone!" Shrugging her shoulders, Xing sighed in frustration, "It seems that I can only apologize honestly." ”

"But Xing, you know Izumi will be angry, why do you do this?"

Looking at everyone, Okazaki raised everyone's doubts.

"Because... This is the last school festival.。 ”

Taking a breath, Xing slowly said an answer that surprised everyone.

"For Izumi, this is his first and last school festival."

"But his gentlemanly temper, who is polite to everyone, will definitely think of not causing trouble to everyone, and keep a certain distance in the midst of everyone's lively commotion."

"If I could, I wanted him to be part of it and have fun."

Scratching her cheeks, a wry smile appeared on her apricot face.

"So the fastest way,It's only for him to play a role in the school festival that can't be out of the way,"

“…”

Facing everyone's stunned looks, Xing quipped as if she couldn't stand it.

"Hey, I'm embarrassed that you don't talk."

"It's not that I don't speak... It's just..."

"Well, I didn't expect you to think so much about Quanjun, Xiao Xing."

"Izumi-kun would be very moved if he found out."

"Well, Kotomi was touched by Xiao Xing's."

Okazaki and the others expressed their surprise at such a truth.

"Please, don't tell Izumi," Apricot hurriedly folded her hands and made a plea to everyone, after all, she was already shy just to say this kind of thing, "I..."

Interrupting Xing's words was the sound of the door being pulled open and "————".

As everyone's eyes looked, the figure of the black-haired boy appeared at the door.
