The cultural festival is coming, and the Tsu High School Student Union is also a little busy.

Naruse glanced outside the student council and felt that he had come at the wrong time, and was just about to leave when the person behind him opened his mouth to block him.

"Is there anything going on with the student union, Naruse-san."

He turned around, and the student council president looked like he had just come back.

"Yoshioka-san." Naruse said hello and didn't beat around the bush, "I'd like to confirm the readiness of the flea market." ”

"Come in."

Fumiko Yoshioka walked into the student council room, "After tomorrow, it's a cultural festival, and if Naruse-san doesn't come by himself, I'll have someone look for you." ”

Sitting in her seat, she talked about what happened to the Cultural Festival Executive Committee again.

“…… It can be overwhelming to convince a first-year grader who is always positive or even a little excited. He always had some naïve and cute ideas, and he still failed to understand how important it was for an organization that involved dozens of classes and clubs in the whole school to carry out the established plan in a step-by-step and smooth manner...... Sure enough, it was more reassuring when working hard with Naruse-san. ”

When she said "innocent and cute", she vaguely gritted her teeth.

"The opening ceremony of the cultural festival will be the morning after tomorrow, is it really okay?" The student council president seemed to have a headache, and Naruse had to talk a few words.

"He just wanted to do something new at the opening ceremony."

Fumiko Yoshioka sighed deeply, "He was very impressed by the club display of the handicraft club last semester, and he planned to ask the people of the handicraft club to make another plane that could carry him in." ”

“……”

Naruse immediately felt the mood of the student council president at this time, and even a little angry, "How did such an 'innocent and cute' child become the chairman of the executive committee." ”

The answer can only be that dozens of executive committee members in other classes are more reluctant to take on organizational responsibilities.

Yoshioka Fumiko shook her head, not wanting to say more on the subject.

After chatting about something else, remembering the purpose of his visit, she took him to look at the materials that had been prepared in the student union room.

"These signs, along with posters to be put up on and off campus after noon tomorrow, will attract as many people as possible to the flea market on the playground."

"Before the flea market opens, the student council will also send five to ten volunteers to help maintain order on the spot."

"Also, we will take full responsibility for the clean-up after the flea market is over."

"Although it will only last for one afternoon, there is no doubt that the flea market organized by the Department of Restoration will be the biggest event of the year." The student president finally concluded.

The student union's support for the flea market can be said to be sparing, and Naruse originally only felt that the student council president was kind and was earnestly fulfilling his original promise.

Now that I think about it, it's because the executive committee is too much of a headache, so I just wholeheartedly support the largest and controllable event, and it can become the highlight of this year's cultural festival.

But he didn't care, after all, for the restoration department, which lacks manpower and has no budget, the important thing is not what the other party is thinking, but what actually provides the restoration department.

"There's still some stuff in the warehouse."

Yoshioka Fumiko looked at the other people in the student council room and found a girl who looked relatively idle, "Koizumi, you can take Naruse-san to the warehouse to have a look." ”

"Yes, President."

Bidding farewell to the student council, Naruse followed Koizumi of the student council and went to the warehouse downstairs.

If you want to set up a stall on the playground in the scorching afternoon sun, parasols are indispensable, and the dozens of parasols needed for dozens of stalls are all provided by the student union.

Arriving at the warehouse, Naruse is led to the place where the parasols are stacked, and soon discovers that most of them are still brand new.

"Are these parasols newly bought?"

"Almost, seniors can open it and check it." Koizumi said.

He picked up a new umbrella, stretched it open with a little effort, and then narrowed his eyes.

“……”

"It's the logo of the sponsor." Koizumi quickly noticed what he cared about and spoke.

"I'll just say...... With so many parasols, even if they are purchased in bulk, they have to spend a lot of money. ”

Naruse turned the large umbrella in his hand, put it away, picked up another new umbrella and opened it, and found that the logo of another company appeared on the umbrella.

"How many sponsors did you talk about?"

"There are four in total."

"That's amazing...... Generally speaking, it is easier to talk about a single activity in this kind of school with only one sponsor. ”

"yes, that's what the president talks about personally." Koizumi said.

Naruse put away the parasol, touched the umbrella surface, and sighed very emotionally, "Yoshioka-senpai is really powerful." ”

"Yes." Koizumi, who only joined the student council this year, nodded solemnly.

After walking around the warehouse and confirming everything that should be confirmed, such as parasols and number plates, Naruse was relieved and prepared to return to the department.

"Help me talk to Yoshioka-senpai, I've already confirmed it, there's no problem."

"Okay, Naruse-senpai."

He returned to the restoration department on the fourth floor, where Morimi, Starfish, and Hikaru Takikawa were still there.

"Are they all still there?"

Naruse sat down, "It's nothing more." ”

"I'm all staying, so I can't go to school halfway." Morimi said, and asked again, "Have you confirmed it all on the student council?" ”

"Hmm. Everything is ready, just wait for the cultural festival to begin. ”

He leaned back and continued: "Although I tried to think about many aspects when I planned it, I found that things were still not so easy to do. Without the help of the student union, this flea market would never have been so smooth and could not have been held on such a scale.

With this precedent, it is much more convenient to hold the same activity in the future, both in terms of materials and reference models. ”

"Yes."

Naruse was still here to lament the difficulty of doing things and the great convenience provided by the student union, and after a while, he suddenly felt a little lonely on the other three sides.

He looked at them, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing."

Morimi was half-lying on the table, holding his head with one hand, "It's just that they are reluctant to leave me to drink coffee, and I am reluctant to leave you alone to stay here." ”

“……”

He glanced at Hikaru Takikawa and Starfish, the former also looking at him, and only looked away after a while.

"Do you want to go with Chunhai?"

"I'll forget it." Naruse thought for a moment, but still shook his head, "I have to stay here, because something might come to the door." ”

Starfish looked at Morimi and Hikaru Takikawa respectively, and she was the only one who was pulled to stay.

"What else can I do now?"

"I don't know, so I'm going to wait here."

“……”

Naruse looked at her, "If the starfish is bored here, you can go to the café and bring the two of them with you by the way." ”

"You're still going to wait for Naoko's side to finish?" Morimi asked.

"Hmm."

"Then you wait slowly."

She picked up her bag and went out first.

The starfish soon followed Morimi as well.

Although he wanted to stay here, Hikaru Takikawa was still about to go to the café with him, but when he got up, he was suddenly stopped by Naruse.

“……”

She struggled a little, "They're still waiting outside." ”

Naruse didn't say much, "I'll see you later." ”

"Hmm."

Hikaru Takikawa looked at him, turned and left the department.

Staying alone in the ministry, Naruse flipped through a few pages, and instead of waiting for the matter of taking the initiative to find the door, he waited for Morimi, who went and returned.

"For you." She put down a can of coffee, "It's kind of involved to have you alone here." ”

Looking at the coffee that was obviously from the vending machine downstairs, Naruse said, "You won't just give me a can of coffee, will you?" ”

"Of course not."

She leaned over and put her hands on his shoulders, "They're still waiting downstairs, five minutes is enough, I'll just say I'm walking slowly." ”

“…… Absolutely not enough. ”

"Well, I guess so." His tone was resolute, and she smiled, opened her coffee, took a sip, and leaned over to kiss him.

"Hmm......"

Looking at the open door of the department, Naruse's heart beat a little faster.

The two kissed for a while before parting, and Morimi licked the corners of his mouth, "How does the coffee taste." ”

"It's a bit bitter...... But it's wonderful when reworked. ”

She smiled, and looked at his face again, "You haven't played with Hikari like that, have you?" ”

"Nope."

She kissed him on the lips again.

"So be it, I'll go down."
