Like tiles, special paper is pasted one by one on an adhesive-coated skeleton and then processed to form the prototype of the parade lantern.

For a skeleton that is often three or four meters long and wide, this work is complex and cumbersome, and accidents are one after another.

Naruse watched from the sidelines, feeling anxious.

And he was not one to stand by and stand indifferent while others were in trouble, and shortly after the morning came, he joined one of the groups to offer some help in any way he could.

"Wait a minute! The skeleton is crooked, don't stick the paper on it yet......"

"Ahh

“…… Tear it off. Be careful, it's troublesome to tear. ”

Naruse held on to the skeleton, and the girl next to her carefully tore off the white paper that had been mistakenly pasted on.

The paper used for the lamp is said to be made using technology developed at Tsuzen University, and the raw material is apple tree branches pruned from orchards throughout Tsuzen.

She tore carefully, but the adhesive was so strong that some of it remained.

"You don't have to clean it too clean, if the skeleton is bent, it will be too troublesome, just apply the adhesive again on it." Naruse said.

"Okay."

Another boy next to him picked up a brush and wiped it over the edge of the small bowl containing the adhesive to make sure it didn't drip before applying it to the skeleton.

When it was reposted, several people around held their breath and breathed a sigh of relief until the paper fit perfectly.

"Go ahead."

"Okay, Naruse-senpai."

I don't know how many times this process has been repeated today.

Because of the huge size of the lantern, for convenience, it is divided into many large and small parts during production, and then combined together after pasting the lamp surface.

The team to which Naruse belongs is responsible for the production of the horse's head.

He had seen the overall design drawing, and the theme of this lantern was "Unification of Tsugaru", which was transformed into a concrete image, which was Tsugaru on a war horse.

Since the morning was busy, this part of them has been almost made, although there is only one shape now, and it is almost impossible to tell that it is the head of a war horse if you don't say it.

"What if I accidentally break my drawing while coloring?" Suddenly, someone asked, "Do you tear it up and re-paste it again?" ”

"I don't know."

Naruse turned his head to look at her, "At last year's Tsutaka Festival, didn't Hikari help?" ”

"Helped. However, everyone was very careful at that time, and in the end, there were no accidents, so I was even more curious about the consequences of carelessness. Hikaru Takikawa said.

"Attention."

Naruse looked at several members of the handicraft club beside him, "If something suddenly goes wrong with your lanterns, there is a chance that this person is the devil." ”

“……”

Several people looked at each other.

"Aha."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "If you're really in trouble, you can come to us at any time, and we'll find a way to help solve it." ”

"Don't pull me."

"The trouble of the handicraft club is the trouble of Naoko, do you want to leave Harumi alone?"

Naruse opened his mouth, realizing that he couldn't refute it, so he simply skipped the topic.

"Where did you just go?"

"Just walked around the school." Hikaru Takikawa said, "The student council is here too." It's like a meeting to discuss something, and it's really hard. ”

"I heard Naoko say that the student council will come over in the afternoon to receive these lanterns."

Naruse knew a little more than she did, "They said it's okay, we're just done here." ”

"Yes."

Hikaru Takikawa turned his head and glanced at the busy venue, "It's a good feeling for everyone to come together and work together for one thing." ”

"Hmm."

She smiled again, "I'll go to Naoko's side and have a look." ”

"Don't make a mess, she's too busy."

"Got it!"

Watching her walk towards Naoko, Naruse turned his head again: "Okay, let's hurry up and finish this part." ”

"Yes!"

said that you should hurry up, but you still have to continue to maintain the previous care, the paper pasted on is glued together, if you accidentally paste crookedly, it can affect other parts.

By the time the production of the horse's head part was completely completed, it was already more than half an hour later.

"Almost."

Naruse can only confirm that there are no problems in general, and the more detailed parts have to be handed over to the members of the handicraft club to confirm separately.

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't know what the overall progress was.

He looked for it, and Naoko was walking around the venue, checking the completion of the various groups.

She was busy, and Naruse didn't bother, and when her eyes turned again, Hikaru Takikawa waved at him at one of the exits.

He walked over and she handed him a drink.

"Good work."

"Thank you."

Sitting down on the steps outside, Naruse opened his drink and took a sip before looking back inside.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Hikaru Takikawa said, "Just now Naoko said that it was the same as the plan. ”

"Well, but it's not time to relax yet."

"Yes."

Hikaru Takikawa also looked back a few times, and then lay down.

"When the exam week is over, we're going to make lanterns too. At that time, a large shed will be built outside, and during that time, only half a day of classes will be held every day, and all afternoon time will be spent making lanterns for the Tsugaraka Festival. ”

Naruse looked down at her, "In the atrium?" ”

"No, it's behind the school building. Isn't there also an open space over there, and it's convenient to send wood or something? ”

He nodded.

"Last year, the theme of the lanterns in our class C was 'Battle of Sekigahara', so I don't know what we will do this year." Hikaru Takikawa said as he lay on the ground, his legs lifted one after another, and the uniform skirt immediately slipped down.

"Who knows...... Skirt. ”

"Ah, pervert."

"I didn't pull it off."

She sat up again and pulled down her skirt casually, "What about Chunhai, do you have any ideas?" ”

"The theme of the lanterns?"

"yes."

"Are there any restrictions?"

"No, historical events, mythological stories, and even the content in animations or games in countries around the world can be normal in the general sense."

Naruse thought for a moment, "Then there are more themes to choose from...... I think the First Emperor unified the world, Susanoo killed the Yaqi Orochi, and Jianzhen crossed to the east. ”

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "When the time comes, it will also be decided, and Harumi can discuss it with the rest of Class A first." ”

"There's still a little over a week, and we'll talk about it then."

The two sat here for a while, and Hikaru Takikawa suddenly raised his arm and bumped into him.

Naruse turned around, and it was Fumiko Yoshioka who came over with someone from the student council.

"Are you going to receive the lanterns now, it's still early."

"I guess I just came over and had a look."

Hikaru Takikawa leaned closer and put his arm on his shoulder, "The student union also needs to know the progress of the handicraft club before it is convenient to make the next arrangement." ”

Reminded by the ministry members, Naoko quickly greeted him and chatted with the student council president.

Taking her around the venue, Naoko continued to be busy, and when Fumiko Yoshioka was about to leave, she suddenly noticed the two people sitting at the exit next to her.

Saying something to the person behind her, she walked over alone.

"Naruse-san, Takikawa-san."

"President."

"Did you guys come over to help today?"

"Pretty much."

Yoshioka Fumiko nodded, didn't say much, it seemed that she really just came over to say hello.

Naruse had something to ask her.

"Yoshioka-san, if I want to organize a flea market at the school in the name of a club during the cultural festival, what preparations do I need to make?"

“……”

Yoshioka Fumiko was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"Flea market? In school? At the time of the cultural festival? ”

"Yes."

"Hmm......"

She quickly accepted the affair and thought about it seriously.

"There are mainly three aspects: the venue needs to be applied for as soon as possible, and the things sold when setting up the stall also need to be reported in advance."

Seeing that she was gone, Hikaru Takikawa was stunned, "Aren't there three aspects, and there is one more?" ”

The student council president smiled and looked at the silent head of the restoration department.

"Also, I need to nod my head in agreement."
