Chapter 519: Lack of Enthusiasm
Coming out of Class G in the third year, Naruse pinched the leaflet that had become much thinner, walked to the next class, and suddenly looked back.
There were only a few figures in the hallway, and nothing was to be seen.
He turned his head, dismissed as if it was his own delusion, and continued to the next classroom.
ββ¦β¦β
At the top of the stairs, Hikaru Takikawa glanced at it, just in time to see his back disappear into the front door of another classroom.
She didn't understand why she was hiding.
"Light!"
A hand suddenly slapped on her shoulder, startling her.
"Wow!"
When I turned my head to look, I realized that it was a classmate in the class.
"Where did you go? I feel like I saw it at the beginning of the school in the morning, but then I didn't see anyone at all, and I didn't come to class in the afternoon. β
"Catch up on sleep in the infirmary." Hikaru Takikawa calmed down and expertly smiled, "I overslept by accident." β
"You can really sleep......"
The female classmate's attention quickly shifted to the flyer she was holding, "What is this?" β
"Flyer for club activities." Hikaru Takikawa gave her one, "Flea market, is Hinako interested?" β
"Hikari has joined the club, huh?"
"I sent it for a friend."
"I'll see...... Eh, it's a flyer looking for someone to set up a stall, I thought it was ready. β
"Of course, you have to prepare first, and then you have to go to the cultural festival." Hikaru Takikawa smiled at her, "Let's take a look then." β
"Okay."
Separated from her, Hikaru Takikawa continued upstairs and did not stop until the fourth floor.
"Do you still need me to promote Class A in the second year......
She muttered, after all, he and Kazuha were Class A.
But when they came, she walked in anyway, and a bunch of people greeted her.
"Long time no see, Light."
"Long time no see~"
"Hikari, I heard that you skipped all the afternoon classes today."
"Why do you even know about Class A!"
"Haha, I have eyeliner in Class E."
Pausing in front of one of his friends' seats, Hikaru Takikawa looked at the dozen or so remaining students in the classroom and raised his voice to draw their attention.
"Are you interested in flea markets? The Restoration Department plans to organize a flea market during the cultural festival, and as long as you meet the conditions, you can sign up to set up a stallβ"
She paused, then added, "Even if you don't set up a stall, you can go shopping!" β
"Restoration Department?" Kobayashi was thinking for a moment, "Isn't that Naruse's club?" β
"That's right, this event was organized by Chunhai."
"Hikari has joined the Restoration Department?"
"I'm here to help him get the word out."
There were many people who talked to her, but not many people were really interested in the flea market, and after chatting for a long time, she only sent out a few flyers.
Thinking of the words that Kazuha said before leaving, Hikaru Takikawa was a little worried that he would live up to their expectations, and raised his voice again.
"Isn't anyone else interested, you can sell any small things you don't need at home, and I'll set up a stall over there together when the time comesββ"
There were a few more people asking for leaflets.
"Then let's go check it out."
"Is it on the second day of the festival, well, it's a good day. On the first day, I had almost all the fun parts of the festival, and it wasn't the third day of the overcrowded weekend. β
"That's right, that's right." Hikaru Takikawa nodded, "Let's take a look." β
A few more flyers were sent out before she walked out of Class A.
"I'm so tired......"
She roughly counted the leaflets in her hand, and there were many left.
Taking a breath, she walked back towards Class B. It's school day, and the later you delay, the more people go home, and the harder it will be to send out the flyers.
After transferring to several classes on the fourth floor, she went upstairs to continue distributing leaflets, and when they were sent to her class, she was reminded by the chairman that the teacher was looking for her.
"Where did you run in the afternoon?"
"Sleep ......"
"Huh?"
"Catch up on sleep in the infirmary." Hikaru Takikawa sighed, "I know, I'll go over and tell the teacher." β
"As soon as possible."
"Hmm. Interested in a flea market? β
"I'll forget it."
After promoting the remaining classes, Hikaru Takikawa sighed while holding the leaflet that was still about half left.
Is it because I am not in a good state today, I feel that I can't raise too much enthusiasm to fool people......
Remembering that the teacher was still waiting for her in the staff room, she decided to go over first and then come out for a walk.
"It's rudeβ"
When he came to the staff room, Hikaru Takikawa found the teacher of Class E and explained to her where he was going for the day.
"Is the health room ......" the teacher helplessly understood, and said that she was absent from school in the afternoon.
"Count it." She didn't care, although she often thought about skipping school, she basically didn't miss much work this school year, and the attendance days were very safe.
"What is this?" After recording her absences, the teacher became interested in the flyer in her hand.
Hikaru Takikawa immediately gave her one and introduced it skillfully.
"We hold a flea market at the time of the cultural festival...... It's quite innovative. β
She smiled unconsciously, "Yes." β
"Is this restoration department the club where Takikawa-san belongs?"
"No, my friend's club, I'm just helping to spread the word."
"Really enthusiastic. I have to be so enthusiastic about the teachers who are in class, and the teachers in the two classes this afternoon are very worried about the whereabouts of Takikawa-san. β
"I got it......"
The teacher suddenly changed his words, "Can people from outside the school participate in this flea market?" I have a friend who is about to move recently, and he has a lot of things to deal with. β
"No, it's written here, only teachers and students from Tianjin High School are allowed to participate."
"Then it's up to me to apply for a stall and sell her things?"
Hikaru Takikawa was stunned for a moment.
"I guess so."
Probably can, right?
"Okay. How do I sign up? β
She flipped the flyer over and motioned for the teacher to pay attention to the contents on the back.
"I'll look at ......"
It's all here, and Hikaru Takikawa handed out leaflets to the other teachers in the staff room by the way.
"Can you sell anything?" Nakahara Xue asked after taking the flyer.
"Anything that can theoretically be sold to children, can be sold here."
Coming out of the staff room, Hikaru Takikawa was hesitating about how to give the second-year students a "surprise return" when Morimi and Starfish called out to her at the top of the stairs.
"How?"
"There are so many ...... left"
Hikaru Takikawa said, and looked at the leaflets in the hands of the two again, only to realize that they had almost finished distributing.
"Looks like I'm taking it for granted." Morimi said, "Second grade is not easy to deal with. β
Hikaru Takikawa smiled reluctantly.
"But it doesn't matter, there aren't so many stalls to offer, so it's almost the same after a circle." Morimi said again.
"Harumi handed out a lot of flyers in the third grade." Starfish added, "Most of our leaflets were given to him. β
Takikawa Hikaru was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly felt a lot better.
"Is the third grade side positive?"
"That's what he said."
Morimi took the leaflet in her hand and counted them roughly, "Most of the light has been sent out, so that's enough." Let's go back to the department. β
"Hmmm......"
When they went downstairs, the three of them went to the third grade to go around, and Naruse was still here.
They waited for him outside the classroom in Class J for a while.
"Wow, what a standard business smile......" Starfish stared at his face.
"If he makes his debut, this is probably the kind of smile he will show on TV...... But it seems to be very useful to deal with these senior sisters. β
Looking at the two seniors standing next to him, Morimi almost guessed the method he was promoting in the third grade.
Hikaru Takikawa didn't speak, his eyes rolled to his face, and then to the third-graders below.
A few minutes later, Naruse came out.
Seeing the stack of leaflets Morimi was holding in his hand, he didn't ask about the specific situation, "Have you been to each class?" β
"Hmm."
"I'm done here, so let's go back to the ministry first."
"What else do you have?" Morimi asked.
He nodded, "Go to the student union and see if you can get more publicity resources." β
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, I'll just go there alone."
Morimi didn't say much, "Then I won't go to the ministry either." Didn't the starfish say in the morning that they were going to the cafΓ© to have a look, now let's go. β
"Ah, okay."
"Is the light coming?"
All three looked at her, and Hikaru Takigawa nodded.
So the two sides parted at the top of the staircase, Naruse went to the student council, and the three girls went downstairs to leave the school and come to the cafΓ© outside.
When the order was placed, Starfish was tricked into helping, and Morimi and Hikaru Takikawa found a place by the window and sat down.
"There's a lot of people today."
"Hmm."
This was the only communication between the two before the coffee was delivered.
