Chapter 239: What to do if the budget is not enough
"To be honest, I think it's very unreasonable to judge something based on subjective opinions."
"It is the right thing to do before drawing conclusions after a comprehensive and detailed understanding."
"So, to sum it up, it's very bad to arbitrarily give your own judgment on something you don't understand."
Clenching my fists, I justifiably expounded my position and nodded affirmatively.
But for my assertions, the one listening...
"Okay, okay, I know everything, can you be a little quieter?"
Rubbing her temples, Xing waved at me as if she couldn't stand it.
"You definitely don't know how to react!"
"No, I really understand, you are touching the hand of the school girl with a disgusting and obscene smile."
"Look! The full misunderstanding is not explained clearly at all! And where is there a touch, that's a handshake, right?! β
And what the hell is that disgusting and lewd laugh?! Who just laughed like that!
And unless it is a big event that you can't think about and don't want to live, who will not be afraid of death to touch that black rabbit!
"Huh? After all, seeing is believing, hearing is false, and the eyes don't deceive themselves, right? β
"Don't say it as if it's true!"
"Wow~"
"Don't look so distrustful!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now," Xing waved his hand to skip the topic, picked up a notebook next to him and flipped it over and handed it over, "Now there are more important things to discuss." β
"What's wrong?"
I took the notebook in amazement.
But at this look, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.
"What is this?!"
I pointed to the fancy stickers on the top of the notebook and the dense words written on the side, and looked at the apricot with the corners of my mouth twitching.
"After discussing for a long time, we finally decided on the costumes of most of the main characters," crossed her hands, and Xing shook her head helplessly, "but there was a disagreement on the heroine." β
"What?"
"After all, it's the soul of our drama, and it's also the heroine of the most famous fairy tale," put his hand on my shoulder, and Xing gave me a thumbs up with a bright smile, "You have all the expectations of girls on your shoulders." β
Are you sure? Wow~ People are so nervous and happy!
Do you think I'm going to think so! Miss by a mile! You don't need this kind of expectation!
And why can everyone else settle down so easily, heroine, you can't compromise!
"Since no one can convince anyone, then simply let the heroine decide," Standing next to me and leaning over, Xing pointed to several plans written in the book with interest, "Na Na~ Quan, do you have a favorite, I think this is good." β
"Even if you come and ask me, is there a difference between these plans?"
If I could, I don't think I would want to choose any of them.
"Of course there is, you see that this recommendation is a mini princess dress, isn't it very girly?"
"Fan, mini princess dress?! Do you think I'll pick this?! β
"Well~ so let you choose," Xing clapped her hand on my shoulder and smiled as if to say, "We still understand you," "so that no one else will be dissatisfied, and you won't be unhappy." β
"I was really touched by this thoughtfulness, and I didn't know what to say."
Pressing my forehead, I sighed helplessly.
Understood, it's better to choose your own safety.
Just like Xing said, both horizontal and vertical will wear skirts, and it may be even worse if it is for girls to decide, after all, there are already mini princess dresses.
Are you kidding! Who's going to wear a miniskirt!
"Hmm... Is this set okay? β
After thinking about it, I asked, pointing to one of the most plausible options.
"Eh~ You actually like this style, uh-huh."
"Don't get me wrong! Only this set is the most serious, right?! β
"Then this problem is solved, let's talk about the next one."
Clapping her hands, Apricot completely ignored my complaints and simply skipped to the next topic.
"And?"
"Okay, okay, don't look so reluctant, anyway, there is the biggest problem now," crossed his hands, not in the same relaxed tone as just now, Xing let out a long sigh, "The budget is not enough." β
What?
"Originally, the plan was to eliminate the expenses required for equipment maintenance and set materials, and the rest was used for costumes, but yesterday we went to the shop where we rented costumes, and the price was out of budget."
Tilting her head, Xing sighed wistfully.
"Why don't you rent not all the costumes, but only the necessary ones?"
"It's a little difficult, the heroine's clothes take up half of the budget."
"That's why the budget isn't enough!"
Why do you have to put so much extra effort into the heroine's costume!
The heroine doesn't need you to go to such great lengths for him, you know!
With this extra money, you might as well spend it on the set!
"How so? Well... The heroine's words are not willing to compromise casually. β
"Of course, Cinderella's usual dress is of course the same as in the original book, wearing old clothes full of patches."
"But on top of the evening dress, of course, there is going to be a gorgeous makeover! Abrupt! There is no teaser of the kind! β
"It's going to make the audience 'Wow!' The scream is amazing! Just thinking about that scene makes me so excited! β
Wow, I can feel that the apricot eyes are about to burst into stars.
I can understand the reason, so...
"Who came up with this idea?"
"That's what Kanako said."
I knew it.
It's a good idea, and I'd rather praise Black Rabbit for coming up with such a serious idea, but because of this, everyone only pays attention to the side of success, and ignores the difficulty of implementation.
"Anyway, I kind of understand," I felt my head grow bigger as I rubbed my temples, "so what are you going to do now?" β
"It's because I can't come up with a good solution, so I came to you to discuss," sat down on the chair next to him, Xing held his chin and looked at me, "You have always had a lot of bad ideas, maybe you can come up with some good ideas?" β
"I can take it as a compliment, right?"
"Of course! Don't be proud. β
It's no wonder you feel proud to hear such compliments! And why do you look smug?!
"Well, let's think about what to do."
"Wait, Izumi, why are you sighing?"
"If you adjust the funding from the set and logistics..."
"Ignored?!"
"If, I mean if... Will there be concessions in this aspect of the heroine's costume? β
After thinking about it, I still asked tentatively, after all, the easiest solution is to make them give up the biggest waste of spending.
That's right! It's a waste!
"Impossible."
However, Xing's answer was as expected, and there was no surprise.
"By the way, does Furukawa know about the lack of budget?"
"Hmm..."
Don't look over, Xingxin looked away and looked to the side.
Okay, that's a really understandable reaction.
"Aren't you going to report to the minister?"
"Xiao Nagisa was busy preparing for the cultural festival and didn't have a good rest, so I'm really embarrassed to worry about her because of the budget, and," said Xing, winking at me, "Didn't I come to discuss with the deputy minister?" β
"If it makes sense, can't you let the deputy minister worry less?"
"Hahaha~ A spring that doesn't like to worry is not a spring."
"Why?!"
"yes, why?" Tilting her head and thinking about it, Xing finally gave up and smiled and waved her hand, "Maybe it's because it's a spring." β
"This explanation really makes me not even know how to complain."
With a sigh, I looked at the design in my hand.
"So do we have anyone here who is particularly good at needlework?" Since we can't give up, we can only use that method, "If we can, we can prepare the materials ourselves and do it ourselves, so we can save a lot of expenses, right?" β
"Hmm... There were exercises in home economics classes, but... I'm afraid it's too late in time. β
"Do you mean unskilled?"
"I think it should be, right? I have one or two children who are good at it, but if I only rely on one or two people..."
"So, if you ask a teacher to guide you, can you finish it before the specified time?"
"If there is a teacher who can guide me, I think it should be possible."
"I know, it's enough to have your words," I patted my knee and got up from my chair, "I guess there's a solution." β
βNiceοΌ I've always believed that Izumi could solve it. β
"Yes, yes, thank you so much."
If you could reflect on it, I might be even happier.
"Anyway, let's go and ask for it first."
"Huh?!"
With that, I grabbed Apricot and walked towards my sisters, who were about to slip away.
ββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββββ
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Standing at the door of the dormitory with the cat in her arms, Misae replied cheerfully.
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
"Great, Misae thank you!"
After reconfirming that I had received an affirmative reply, I bowed excitedly.
After discussing with Okazaki, we decided to ask the experts around us for help first.
However, if you want to talk about reliable elders, it seems that there are only a few people who can be counted.
In the end, Misaeda who chose to be cheeky and ask for our dormitory eldest sister.
It turned out to be lucky, and after explaining the situation, Misae offered to help us.
It is worthy of being the head of the eldest sister! It's really righteous enough!
"What an accident, I remember Misae, aren't your housekeeping classes terrible?"
On the contrary, I met NO.1 at the door who I didn't want to bump into.,And he's still dismantling Misaeda's platform.γ
"Not really! And Topol, why are you here again? β
That's right, that's right, why are you here, brother! Don't you think your appearance rate here is a bit high?
"Don't be so indifferent, didn't I send a box of vegetables?"
Young! Do you think Misae can be bribed so easily!
"Vegetables, yes, vegetables still have to thank you."
Wait, Misae, how did you ease your disgusted tone just now? Is it a vegetable?! Were you bought by vegetables?!
"That's not right! Don't try to get rid of it, where did you hear the rumors! β
"Hey, it's you who pulled it apart," my brother shrugged his shoulders innocently and spread his hands, "and don't forget the memorable mustard cookie you made in your home economics class, I ran to the toilet all afternoon after eating." β
"Well, that's a failure!" As if remembered by his brother's reminder, Misae retorted with a red face, "Didn't I tell you not to eat it?" And Poplar, you're going to have diarrhea, are you sure it's not because you ate a bunch of popsicles at noon?! β
"Hmph~ You still underestimate me too much, when someone tells you "can't", the more you want to do it!"
"So isn't this self-inflicted?!"
Covering her forehead and sighing, Misae had an expression of "I'm actually serious with a stupid person".
If you want to ask me why I see it, it's because Apricot usually shows such an expression.
Of course, that object is not me, not me!
"Ahem, don't mention the past anyway," Misae coughed lightly, skipping the topic and muttering quietly, "I'll settle this account with you later." β
"Ms. Misae, did I hear the word 'reckoning' just now?"
"I should be able to make time for the weekend," Misae turned to me and said to me, choosing to ignore her brother, "Let's make an appointment to practice then." β
"No problem, please advise!"
In hindsight, if I hadn't been so excited that I had neglected my surroundings, I would have noticed...
The man standing next to Misae smiled meaningfully.
