Chapter 18: Joining the Drama Club
There were still a few minutes left before the bell rang for my lunch break, and now I was ready at full power.
After all, there are many people who are going to sprint to the commissary like me for a while, and if you don't pay attention, it may be my turn to be a white bread set.
"10,9,8,7," although my eyes were fixed on the teacher on the podium, I had already calculated the time in my heart to start counting down, "6, 5, 4, 3..."
2οΌ1β¦ The bell ββββββ is coming!!
As soon as the teacher announced the end of class, I immediately rushed out of the classroom, but just as I was about to step out of the classroom with my front feet, a sudden force grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back.
"Yo~ What are you going to do in such a hurry?"
"To buy, of course... Huh! I turned around impatiently and said, but when I saw who was behind me, my momentum immediately dropped to the lowest point, "Yes, is there something wrong?" Apricot. β
"As for your absence from yesterday afternoon's class, I think we need to talk about it." Although Xing's expression at this time was smiling, the aura she exuded was not as warm as it seemed. "Can you stay for a while?"
That apricot, although your expression is smiling, your eyes are not smiling!!
"I'm sorry," I looked at Xing, who had entered blackening mode, with a trembling heart, "I yesterday... It's... Calm down~"
Damn, completely forgot about this one thing. God, who is here to save me!
"Oh, Izumi, you're here!" At this time, a heavenly voice came from the door, "I just happened to have something to do with you." β
It's a dear friend, Haruhara! For the first time, I feel that your image in my mind is so tall.
"What's wrong? Are you so happy to see me? Haruhara's expression suddenly turned 180Β° when he saw Apricot standing behind me, "Huh! Apricot... Why are you here? β
"This is my class, isn't it?" Xing withdrew her hand and looked at us with a domineering expression on her chest with her hands folded around her chest, "Huh, what are you two going to do?" β
"Huh! You, what are you talking about~," Haruhara waved his hands in a panic to show that he had no other plans, "I'm just here to eat with Izumi." You say yes, right? Spring. β
"Huh? Ahh That's right. I immediately echoed Haruhara, "We made an appointment." β
"Well..."
Don't look at us with a skeptical look on your face and pull... Although it is indeed doubtful.
"That's it!" In order to prevent Apricot from seeing our lie and escaping from Apricot's palm by the way, I hurriedly patted Haruhara on the shoulder to signal to leave here, and then ran out of the classroom, "I'm sorry, I'll talk about it next time!" β
"Wait! Izumi, you stop for me! β
As I ran around the corner of the hallway, I could feel the wind of the dictionary whizzing past my head.
If you get hit by that, you may have to go straight to the infirmary.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Finally Haruhara and I escaped from Apricot's pursuit, but I feel like half my life has run away now
"Ha, haha... I said, what did you do to make that Miss Xing so angry? β
Haruhara, leaning against the wall, looked at me curiously.
"W-That... Ha, ha, I didn't go to class yesterday afternoon. "I sat on the ground out of breath, and I didn't have the strength to run," he said, having missed an afternoon of class. β
"Haha, Izumi, you're going to skip school too?" Haruhara's eyes stared at me in amazement, as if he had met me for the first time.
"Something happened." I interrupted Haruhara's words, and slowly stood up from the ground, "But what are you looking for me?" β
"Ahh You didn't remind me to forget it! Haruhara, as soon as he grabbed my arm, he ran forward, "Hurry up!" Maybe they're still around! β
"Huh? But I'm going to buy bread! β
"Don't worry, if you don't eat a meal and don't die of hunger, I'll always be hungry!"
ββ¦β
What should I say? Although you smile brightly, the content of this conversation is very vicissitudes.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββ
"Cheer up."
"But I can't think of a good way."
"How about not putting up flyers, but giving them directly to the students?"
"I asked about that, but I don't think so."
"I don't think the signing campaign will go smoothly."
The above is the conversation between Okazaki and Furukawa that I overheard with Haruhara lying outside the drama department.
"I say, Haruhara." I looked at Haruhara, who was eavesdropping on his face now, "Is it necessary for us to do this?" Just walk in. β
"Hmph~ You don't understand," Haruhara turned his ears away from the door, turned his head and looked at me with a smirk, "As long as we know what the other party needs most now, and we help at the most critical time, then we will be her benefactors!" You can eat as much bread as you want~"
I should say you're simple, right? I really believed what Okazaki said. "So you know now?"
"Of course, who are you and me?!" Haruhara straightened up, put one hand on the doorknob, gave me a thumbs-up with the other, and opened the door with a shiny and confident smile. "Izumi, get ready!"
"I've heard you talking."
β¦ Is it necessary for you to put on such a handsome pose?
"Yo!" I walked out from behind Haruhara with a dry smile and greeted Okazaki and Furukawa, who were looking at us in surprise, "Excuse me, we're here to help." β
βββββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββββββββ
"To help us recruit our staff?" Okazaki sat across from us with a look of distrust on his face, his gaze wandering between me and Haruhara, "I still understand Izumi's words, what do you think?" β
"Ah, I'm tired of eating bread from the school cafeteria, too." Haruhara was happy and honest about the purpose of his visit.
"Bread... Is it? β
"No, it has nothing to do with you~" Haruhara scratched his head and said to Furukawa embarrassedly, "By the way, is it the student council that is hindering your recruitment of members?" That's a good way to solve it. β
"Is there any good idea?" Hearing Haruhara say this, Furukawa immediately cheered up and looked at Haruhara.
"Call the student council president to the back of the school building, and everyone will come together...", Haruhara put his hands on his chest, made a boxer look, and then punched out in line with the conversation, "That's it!" β
"Ah," although Furukawa didn't know what Haruhara meant at first, she immediately understood after a few seconds, and hurriedly waved her hands to veto, "You can't do that kind of thing!" There's nothing wrong with the student council! β
"Isn't that the quickest and easiest way to do it?"
"In short, you can't use violence."
"Is that going to be negotiated?" Haruhara, holding his chin, pondered, "That's what I'm not good at." β
"The gap in values is really big." Looking at such a haruhara, Okazaki stood up and complained about him.
"But I'm glad you have this heart, please help."
No, Furukawa. Haruhara's help is purely for the sake of bread.
βOKοΌ Leave it to me. β
Although Haruhara's movements are very confident, I think it is the most unsettling thing to hand over to him.
"Now, Izumi!" Haruhara suddenly clapped his hand on my shoulder, "What do you say?" β
You guy... Didn't I just say I would leave it all to you?
"Could it be that Quan-kun has a way?"
Hey, I said Furukawa, can you not look at me with an expectant expression, I've been sitting here since I was sitting here without thinking about anything, just planning to be a listener!
"That, that," there is no way, although it is temporary, but you have to find a way, "How about getting people together first?" If there are many people, the student council will agree, after all, the student council is a student-based team. β
"Yes, that's true. But the drama club has been abolished, and most people will not attend. β
"Then let's start with the people you know and have good friends with." Although the society has been abolished, there is still hope, "After all, people with good relationships will be willing to help, right?" β
"Very well, just do what Izumi said." At this time, Okazaki, who had been beside him and had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and then looked at Furukawa, "Give him that thing." β
"Huh!" Furukawa, who heard Okazaki's words, cast a surprised look at me, "Izumi-kun, are you really willing to do this?" β
"WhenγOf course," I don't know what happened, but in terms of Furukawa's character, it shouldn't be a bad thing, "after all, it's my proposal." β
"W-That's bothering you!"
Accompanied by Furukawa's nervous words, a form appeared in front of me.
"What is this?"
"Part member application form," Okazaki looked at me with a conspiracy on his face, "fill this out and you'll be a member of the drama department." β
Damn it! Plotted by this guy!!
"I said Furukawa."
"Yes!" Furukawa smiled happily, "Thank you very much for your help, Izumi-kun, let's work together!" β
ββ¦ Yes," under the shock wave of Furukawa's smile, I filled in the form in front of me with a black line full of heads, and then handed it to Furukawa with an expectant smile on his face, "... Please advise, Minister. β
"Yes!"
Then, ignoring the weathered me lying on the table, the demon in Okazaki continued to organize the discussion.
"Well, I don't think it's useful for the two of you to figure it out," Haruhara, who had been left aside for a long time, began to speak, "Wouldn't it be better to talk to someone else than that?" β
Why didn't you say it earlier!!
"That's true."
"Is there a goal?"
"Of course, otherwise how dare you say such a thing~"
