Book Fair - Chapter 4

[bakemonoremy]

Location: Studio

- A few days later -

Tsumugi: Eh~ I thank you for coming together on this day.

I am sure you already heard about the situation from Anzu-chan.

The job this time is to hype up the book fair that’s going to be held at the shopping district with everyone from “Knights”.

Since some of you might not know about the book fair, I’m going to distribute some printouts about it right now.

Tell me if there’s still something you don’t understand after reading it.

Izumi: Yu ‧ u ‧ - ku~n ... ♪

Makoto: Uhii!? D-Don’t come over here! If you step within the radius of one meter to me, I’ll call the police, you know!?

Izumi: Ufufu, there’s no need to act shy~ Come here, Yuu-kun. I’ll pat your head for you...♪

Makoto: I’m not acting shy or anything. Ahh, geez, you’re really disgusting! I’m begging you, don’t come any closer!

Arashi: Izumi-chan, why don’t you leave it at that.

Good grief, you shouldn’t scare him when we’re about to work together. Yuuki-kun, I’m sorry.

Izumi: Hey, don’t get in my way! I only accepted this job because I heard Yuu-kun was going to be there, you know?

Izumi: Yuu-kun, don’t run away today.

Lately you’ve noticed me even when I was ambushing you, and got away, so I’ve been suffering from a Yuu-kun deficiency. So today, let’s get along...♪

Makoto: What do you mean, deficiency!? No way, Izumi-san is so incomprehensible again today it’s scaring me~ We’re incompatible~

Arashi: Alright. At this rate, this conversation is getting nowhere, so stop picking a fight with Yuuki-kun, Izumi-chan.

I’m sorry. “Knights” is a unit of individualism, so we don’t mesh well with others.

Well, I won’t forgive anyone for being late to the agreed meeting time with an excuse like “That’s our principle”, though.

Tsukasa-chan, you did send a mail to Ritsu-chan, didn’t you?

Tsukasa: Yes, I told him the time and place in my mail. Maybe I should go and get him?

Arashi: Hm~m. Ritsu-chan wasn’t in the classroom earlier. He seems to like the garden terrace, so maybe he’s sleeping over there?

Ritsu: Oi~ssu ♪

Arashi: Ah, Ritsu-chan, you sure are walking in here rather boldly considering how late you are. Well, I am grateful you didn’t forget about our meeting.

Ritsu: Ya~awn… I slept in a weird position and now my body is all stiff. Su~chan, rub my shoulders for me?

Tsukasa: Why should I? I am not your handmaid, Ritsu-senpai.

Rather, I’d like everyone to stop chattering freely and get to the issue at hand. Ritsu-senpai, I explained everything in the mail I sent you, did you understand the contents?

Ritsu: I do. But why is Su~chan acting like the manager here?

Tsukasa: Ah, I apologize for butting in as the youngest one here! Errr, should I leave this to Narukami-senpai then?

Arashi: Hm~ But the job this time was decided because Tsukasa-chan consulted Tenkousei-chan, so there’s no need to worry about that I think.

Besides, I am just a stand-in leader anyway. But I agree that we should stop chattering and get to the point.

Aoba-senpai, I’ve read the printout, but could you tell me what it is exactly that we will be doing?

I’ll warn you beforehand, even if we participate as idols we won’t be able to hold a live show. It’s a shame, since you prepared such cute practice outfits for us…

Tsumugi: Aah, don’t worry about that. If anything, I am sorry I was a bit too eager.

Everyone in “Knights” catches people’s attention, so while I was thinking about what I should make for you to wear, I ended up finishing these outfits.

Because of that, I think that you’ll attract a lot of customers just by wearing a stylish outfit on the day of the book fair.

And if you get bored, you can help out by reading a book to the small children there.

Arashi: Hmm. Sounds like a pretty easy job… Since it’s an event outside of the school, we’ll be sure to grab the attention of a lot of people.

Tsukasa: Yes! Let’s show everyone the chivalry of “Knights”!

Arashi: Oh my, aren’t you excited… Since all we’ve been doing lately is making sweets, which you aren’t good at, your stress must’ve been accumulating. There, there ♪

Tsukasa: I-It’s not like that. Or rather, please don’t treat me like a child!

Tsumugi: Fufu, you’re such good friends~ ♪

Arashi: Is Tenkousei-chan going to help you with sewing the outfits?

Tsumugi: I plan to make the outfits for “Knights” myself. But since I am slow, I am thinking of asking Anzu-chan to make the outfit for Yuuki-kun.

Fufu. If I remember correctly, Yuuki-kun used to work as a model. I am sure he will be by no means inferior even compared to everyone from “Knights”~ ♪
