Chapter 4 – And, in the ridicule noise, box was opened.
Violent argument, the class party is the same no matter who does it.
Generally speaking, the amount of money that high school students can spend in class gatherings is basically countable, and what they can do.
The matter can be decided accordingly. Disagreements can occur, that is, the selected store’s For things like quality, if you switch to a store at the same price, the difference will not be very big.
Of course, it’s not just a simple dinner party, but a bowling ball or a masquerade party. A unique activity will also change the satisfaction of the participants. If the content is the same If it is, it doesn’t matter who the planner is when evaluating it.
The reason it was originally called a class party is that classmates get together to do something
It’s better to say that as long as this condition is met, whether it’s playing with eagles and catching chicks in the park, it doesn't matter if you take a walk by the river.
My family is small but full of fun, which sounds respectable. Even if it is narrow and not a clean, sundrenched old house, as long as there is a loved family, it’s better than any luxury house or mansion.
All hotels are good.
Changing the scene to a class party, even if it’s not good to eat in a seemingly shabby restaurant, even it feels like being poisoned, as long as you are with good friends, you can forgive it.
After all, the main point of a class gathering is to see how many people in the class have visited.
That's it.
From this point of view, it can be said that this class gathering has basically been a success.
Squad leader Otomi, who was seriously rushing forward, waved a big flag, and Hayama went to summon the others, many people from the old class have joined in one after another.
So that everyone can be satisfied.
It is also accompanied by delicious meals and scones, and stylish restaurant decorations, which have already been visited.
An excellent restaurant is also a guarantee of success.
Long live the class party! The glory is gathered in our class!
While I was talking to myself, I alone occupied a corner table for four, eating scones.
A few days after Tomioka knocked on the Club, the class party was held smoothly.
Now, the participation rate is surprisingly high, and it has now reached its climax.
I order another drink and played with the audio equipment from time to time to show off my skills.
Build a solid position in this class gathering. Oops──when you do your work, you don't have much I don't have time to talk to people.
After finally finishing a part, it’s a little late to enter the meal time. This is the current situation.
This, can I add a separate order of scones? I kept thinking about it.
While eating, Hayama, who was still the center of the crowd just now, didn’t know when he slipped out and walked towards me.
Hayama pulled out the chair opposite me, sat down without saying a word, and sighed. Maybe because I have been surrounded by people so far, I look a little tired.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, mascot."
"Ah, you have worked hard too. Chores."
Hayama responded with a cheerful smile of little use and sarcasm for my condolences. What hard work, give me a scolding like the etiquette teacher.
"This is the collected membership fee."
"Thanks."
Looks like he used fees as an excuse to slip out. Nice trick. I'll use that too. I aligned the cash I got on the table, started to light up, and started sorting in groups of 10
Now it is possible to settle bills online, or if you have a smartphone, you can go cashless or something like that, but it also needs to correspond to people in different environments. There is still a culture of cash in Japan. I'm grateful that people like us who are not up to date with the times still have a cash culture. It's great, counting the money one by one like this can make the heart happy. Hoo hoo hoo, Cash is really good...
(Translation and Annotation: The original text here is "Annotation: The original text here is "Fufufu, raw yeah yeah raw raw yeah……", which is to imitate the tone of the old man.)
"This expression is not pretty~"
When I heard this sound, I raised my head. It was Ebina Hina who was holding three glasses with two hands... She handed the glasses to me and Hayama separately, and sat next to Hayama.
"Okay──then, thanks for hard work──. Cheers!"
She raised her cup high and started to do a toast without permission. Hayama and I clanked our glasses silently. Apparently this was a wordless protest of "You bastard - how dare you dump this kind of trouble on me!”. And Ebina noticed this and said, "Well, well!" and then, she shouted "Cheers" again at a three-person volume and made another toast. Then, she tilted her glass slightly and squinted her eyes under her glasses.
"...Thank you Hayato-san and Hikigaya-san."
This voice is much calmer than before. It may be because of this gap. Both Hayama and I started listening naturally.
"If you don't do this kind of thing once, it will become impossible to in future, right? Especially, it's easy to refuse after having the excuse of preparing for the exam. "
"I seem to understand this too."
I nodded to Hayamai's speech. This is probably not understanding, but resonance,
That is indeed what I might do.
"But there are still people like Tomioka who are willing to do it seriously. So, I think they should not be disturbed. "
Ebina didn’t turn towards anyone, she said this quietly, her eyes turned suddenly to the venue.
There is Tomioka who is chatting with her classmates. Did you notice us? Didn’t we look away? Tomioka suddenly turned to look at us. Then she picked up the cup and walked quickly.
"Thanks everyone."
"Oh~ you also have worked hard."
"Thanks for your job as a secretary. It's hard work, right?"
"I'm totally fine with that. I'd like to say that the atmosphere is so lively thanks to your big help. "
Tomioka stretched out her hand holding the glass, Ebina and Hayama also expressed their comfort clinked glasses with her. She also wants to clink glasses with me, but since I was sitting on ther other side, she specifically walked around and sat down beside me. Then again bowed.
"Hikigaya-san, thank you very much."
"Ah no, I didn’t anything..."
I thought that instead of saying it’s me, it’s better to say it’s the Service Club for thier help, so I'll drink to that as a representative. I'd like to make a toast.
"Then, cheers."
Following the voice of Tomioka, we clinked our glasses.
The conversation suddenly stopped here.
Because Tomioka’s body was facing me, it became difficult for Hayama and Ebina to start a conversation.
This is a good time for me to say something. But I'm not good at this kind of small talk, so I'll just keep saying "Thanks for your work" or "Ah... ...... really ......, right ......? Or just sighing to cover up the silence.
It seems that Tomioka-san is not the kind of person who is good at small talk, "Ah..." can't speak anymore. Maybe she was looking for a topic, she kept looking at me, and finally seemed to think about something.
"Ah, there is something I want to ask Hikigaya-san."
"Oh?"
Well, just ask.
Maybe it's not good to be prepared in this way.
Tomioka took a deep breath and immediately asked questions directly.
"Are you dating Yukinoshita-san?"
In an instant, Hayama on the opposite side choked. I thought he was going to cough like this, but unexpectedly, he laughed. He just laughed so hard that I couldn't bear it at all.
"Oh~Oofu~Straight ball~"
(Note: What is “straight ball” you might ask? Well, its lost in translation.)
Ebina clapped her hands for the straight ball question. Although I have been asked similar questions before, but there is always someone who knows our situation well. So, there is always a way to return answer. But I don't think I can explain it correctly to people who are unfamiliar.
"Ah, rather than talking about being in a relationship...Is it better to talk about companions? Just that kind of relationship, almost"
"So, what's the relationship?"
Tomioka still didn't understand, and asked with ers head tilted.
I was overwhelmed by her straight gaze. Hayama finally held back his smile, as if to help me, spoke
"I heard it was a de facto marriage."
"Who? So annoying! Who the hell is it?"
"There can only be one person."
That's true! That's it! No wonder Hayama shrugged helplessly! By the way, can't you not use what you hear from that person as a help for me? I originally repaid "Ventriform Female Boss" to fight, but Hayama was useless.
(Translation and Annotation: Please query "Yumuki Sachiko". I think this reference was also made in Shin Volume 1. And that person is probably is Haruno.) Well, it is wrong to borrow from others to speak the truth.
This kind of thing should be explained by oneself.
I cleared my throat, arranged what I wanted to say, and spoke.
"...Next outing, is it decided to go according to the class?"
"Hey, I don't think it's like that..."
Tomioka felt that she had been pulled off the topic and behaved very confused. She still wanted to ask. So, before that, I'll say it in my own way.
"That's good...because I want two people to go together."
In other words, this way. Can this be conveyed to her? I secretly looked at Tomioka. When Tomioka heard me say this, she opened her mouth slightly, clapped her hands gently with her fingertips, and
Nodded.
