Chapter 25: The Second Library
"I didn't expect you to be quite capable." After listening to my report, Xing looked at me with admiration and sighed, "It was so smooth to settle those stupid people." β
"Ah, thank you... The phrase "I didn't expect it" is redundant. β
But ah, don't you think it's rude for you to say that? β¦ Although the IQ of Starling's classmates and our classmates does have a fight.
"Yes, yes, but I'm still curious what you said to make them readily agree."
"Haha, well, it's just a compliment."
That's right, I won't say what I said, it's too embarrassing.
"Then I'll go and talk to Starling about the cultural festival in a moment."
"Don't you want me to come along?"
"The boys just need to come and help when the time comes."
Are we in your mind the image of free labor?
"Yes, I see."
"What's wrong, I look unconvinced." Xing stretched out a finger and pointed at me and said, "Don't forget, you're the executive committee member, the general manager this time, and you'll be busy when the time comes." β
"Eh, is that so?" I looked at Xing in some surprise, but immediately thought of a question, "But I still have to help the drama club recruit people, and I don't know if I can arrange it in time." β
"Are you alone?" Apricot seemed surprised by my words, "Isn't there still Okazaki and that kid named Furukawa?" β
Hey, Furukawa is in the same grade as you... And maybe it's older than us, so it's okay if I didn't let you call my sister.
"Furukawa they have other things to do," I scratched my head and looked away, resisting the urge to spit out the apricot trough, "So now I'm in charge of the drama department." β
ββ¦β
"What kind of eyes are you?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that it's really okay to hand over that drama department to you?"
"That's problematic enough! Apologize to me!! β
"Hey, hey, I'm sorry~ stupid."
"Hey! You just said "stupid"! β
"Okay, it's a man, you can't be so small." Xing patted me on the shoulder, and then walked outside the classroom, "Anyway, I'm also the class leader, I'll help you with the cultural festival, and you can do the rest!" β
Looking at the back of Xing dashing walking out, I only held my forehead and sighed in annoyance, indeed I have to work hard now.

"Please take it... Please take it..."
In the hallway of the school building, a girl in the lower grades keeps handing out things to students passing by.
"Yo, Fengzi." I walked over to the girl and said, "That's a great effort." β
"Ah, big color!"
"You guy, this is the school!" I lunged forward, and when Fengzi was about to say the name that could destroy my life, I covered her mouth with my hand, "Call me my name!! β
"Mmmm!!mmmm
"Ah, I'm sorry!" I hurriedly withdrew my hand and smiled a little awkwardly, "Accidentally... Forcefully. β
"Ha, haha... A sucker! Fengzi gulped for a breath and glared at me fiercely with big eyes glistening with tears, "Izumi is stupid!" β
"Oh, it's amazing~" After hearing what Fengzi said, I couldn't help but applaud her, "You still remember my name." β
"Of course, Kazeko is a child who can do it as long as he wants to."
Don't be so smug, I'm not complimenting you.
"It's a lot of it... Ah, Izumi-kun is here too. β
At this time, Furukawa and Okazaki came from the other side of the corridor.
"Well, I just happened to be passing by." I nodded to the two of them, curiously pointing to what they were holding in their arms, "Are you also sending starfish?" β
"After all, if there are more people, the efficiency can be improved faster." Okazaki, who was standing on the sidelines, explained to me.
"It's really fast."
"Thanks to Nagisa and everyone, a lot of them were sent out today."
"Don't you think it's better to go and see your sister than to do this kind of thing?"
"Although I really want to see it..."After hearing Okazaki's question, Kazeko said with a depressed face, "But sister, can she hear Kazeko's voice?" β
"What do you mean?"
"It's because you can't see and hear that Fengzi does such a thing. Because nothing else can be done. β
Ahhhhh
"Excuse me," when we didn't know what to say, Furukawa accosted Kazeko and asked, "What does Kazeko's sister call you?" β
"Little Wind."
"And can I call you that?"
"Okay!"
Oh, finally laughing.
"Can I call you that, too?"
"Eun, can I do the same?"
"This is terrible!"
"Why ?!!!"
"There is no why!"
"Because Okazaki is a weirdo!"
"Why did you stand over there, too?"
"Haha, unconscious~"
"You guys...," Okazaki sighed, then turned his gaze to me, "How's your handling over there?" β
"As before," of course I knew what Okazaki was referring to, and I shrugged my shoulders a little frustratedly, "There is still a cultural festival to do,"
"That, Izumi-kun." Furukawa looked at me with some concern, "Please don't force it. β
"At this time, you should say come on, right?" I smiled at them, put my hand on Fengzi's shoulder, and said, "I'm the only one here, and I can help if necessary." β
"Oh, like a man, then..."
"Then I'll go to the library to find some materials first," Before Okazaki finished speaking, I hurriedly turned around and ran to the other end of the corridor, "Come on send starfish~!" β
"You !! guy"

I walked down the hallway like a fly without a head, because I forgot where the library was, and even though I walked in smoothly last time, it was only luck.
I knew that it would be better to be with Okazaki and them, so I thought about it and walked in front of a classroom unconsciously.
"Reference room? You should be able to find something useful, right? "Open the door to the data room and walk in," Excuse me. β
"Welcome." Directly opposite the door sat a young girl with long flaxen hair, who heard the noise on my side and looked at me, "Is there anything going on today?" Or is it something to order? β
"Eh, hot coffee, then."
"I'll get it ready for you, please sit down and wait a moment."
Sitting in a chair, I watched the back of the girl making coffee, and her brain was already in a state of short circuit.
Wait, what's going on? Why would I sit here waiting for my coffee? After all, it's the first time to meet or refuse... But she seems to be almost finished, and if I say no, it feels like I'm playing tricks,... Oh no, this is the first time I've ever seen this happen! Unable to cope completely!!
"Please."
The girl gently placed the cup of coffee in front of me, then stood aside and looked at me with a smile.
"Ah, thank you." I hurriedly came back to my senses, picked up the cup and took a sip, "Delicious!" β
"Great." The girl happily responded, "My name is Miyazawa Yukining." β
"That, I'm Izumi Scarlet Leaf."
"It's Izumi-san," Miyazawa said, sitting on the chair across from me and looking at me, "It's your first time here." β
"Well, I only moved in this year." I looked around at the bookshelves, "Are you in charge of this?" β
"I wanted to manage this place myself because I love it."
"Well, that's great," I picked up my cup and took another sip of my coffee, "to have a place you like." β
Miyazawa looked at me a little stunned, but it was only a few seconds, and he immediately smiled at me and asked, "Is there something wrong with Izumi-san coming here?" β
"Ahh It wasn't Miyazawa who reminded me that I might have forgotten the purpose of my visit, "Actually, I'm here to find information about the theater club and cultural festivals. β
"No problem, I remember some old records here before." After Miyazawa listened to me, he stood up and walked to a bookshelf, took out a few books, and placed them in front of me, "This and this, and this, is it enough?" β
"Ah, that's enough." I immediately stood up and thanked Miyazawa with my hands folded, "Thank you so much! β
"I'm glad I can help Izumi."
"But why is there so much information here?"
"This is a collection of books with relatively few readers, so it can be regarded as a second library."
Ah, yes, I thought it was a cafΓ©.
"There are some old tapes and records here, too."
"It's really a novel," I touched my chin and smiled after listening to Miyazawa's introduction, "I think it's much more interesting than the First Library." β
"It's great if you like it."
Just as Miyazawa and I were talking and laughing, two ultra-incongruous voices came from behind us.
"Miyazawa, are you there? β¦ Ah, Izumi is there, too. β
Very disgusting voice... I don't want to see you yet!
"Ah, I saw the big pervert again! It's terrible..."
The sound of disgust from beginning to end... I'm terrible! Especially that terrible appellation!!
