Chapter 104 ? School Festival Preparation 4
The following day, I managed to distribute the newly completed plan to everyone during breaks between classes, and we agreed to meet again after school for further discussion.
Currently, Julius, Arnold-san, the prince, Yoshida, Reinhardt, Mylene-sama, and I are gathered in the same vacant classroom as last time.
Gathering all 11 people every time is difficult, so it’s important to keep each other informed and updated.
“Rene-chan, that’s amazing. To come up with all this in just one day. Good job!”
“Thank you, Arnold-san. It’s all thanks to Julius’ help.”
“I didn’t do anything, Rene did it all. And hey, don’t touch her without permission.”
Julius forcefully brushed off Arnold-san’s hand as he stroked my head, showing his strong siscon tendencies once again.
I’m relieved that everyone has agreed to the contents of the plan, and we’ve decided to proceed with the activities as planned.
“Well then, for now, we need to practice our hospitality skills and also devising and testing menus. As for the interior design, Julius and I will take care of that.”
“I’ll also think of some drink menu options.”
“Mylene-sama…! Thank you so much. Once it’s all set, I’d like to use the kitchen for some practice.”
This way, it should be fine to gather after school about twice a week until just before the school festival.
I had imagined busy days staying after school every day for activities, but it seems like we’ll have more flexibility than I thought.
“But maybe this level of busyness is for the best. We also have to study for the winter rank exams.”
“Let’s study together after school on days when we don’t have any preparations for the festival.”
“Yeah, let’s do our best together! Right, Yoshida?”
“Why am I automatically included in this?”
“If you don’t mind, Theodore-sama, would you like to study with us?”
“Yeah.”
“Ah, thank you!”
Since there will be no preparations for the school festival after school tomorrow, I’ve decided to hold a study session with Reinhardt, Yoshida, and the prince. I’m thinking of inviting Therese and the others too.
Anyway, we have to cherish each day.
And three days later, after school, we had our first customer service practice session. Even though it’s just serving tea together, some practice is still necessary. After all, they don’t have any part-time job experience, and they’re usually the ones being entertained.
We then discussed future schedules and, after that, we decided it was about time to wrap up.
“Hey, Rene-chan, have you decided who you’ll go with to the school festival?”
As I was putting my writing utensils away in my bag, Reinhardt suddenly asked me that question, and I looked up.
“No, I haven’t decided anything yet.”
The school festival spans two days, and even though the stalls are always running, we intended to arrange shifts to ensure everyone gets some free time.
I also want to enjoy visiting other stalls as a customer during that time.
“If our schedules match, I’d like to go around together.”
“Of course! Let’s do that.”
“Thank you, Rene. And if you’d like, we can also go to the closing??”
“Stop.”
Julius cut in just as Reinhardt was about to say more.
“My Rene is going to watch the fireworks after the festival with me, sorry.”
“No, wait, we didn’t make such a promise at all.”
“That’s terrible, Rene-chan. Your promise to me was a lie.”
“Arnold-san, please don’t go along with this.”
Upon Julius and Arnold’s unwarranted remarks, I promptly intervened, eliciting a soft chuckle from Mylene-sama, who had been apparently eavesdropping on our conversation.
“Hehe, Rene is quite popular, isn’t she? So, who will you be spending the closing event with?”
“I just want to watch the fireworks together with everyone.”
“No, no, that won’t do. It’s the school festival after all, so you should narrow it down to one guy.”
Mylene-sama said so clearly, and then Julius spoke up.
“Then how about we go with the one who makes the most sales at the stall?”
“Eh?”
“Oh, that’s a great idea! It’ll be such a motivation booster, won’t it? Let’s have a solid competition among the five of you.”
“Wait… Eh?”
In response to Julius’ words, Mylene-sama, with an unusually bright smile, nods in agreement with her hands clasped together. This was probably a face that showed she was enjoying the situation as if it was someone else’s problem.
“??So, whoever takes the top spot gets the privilege to watch the fireworks at the closing event with Rene-chan, right?”
“Mmhh, mmhh, I’m getting fired up too!”
“…..”
“Could it be that I’m not being counted in?”
“Um… Huh?”
Reinhardt and Arnold-san are unusually enthusiastic, and oddly enough, the prince also nods in agreement. Is it possible that even the prince wants to join me in watching the fireworks?
While Yoshida and I are bewildered, the conversation has already progressed in that direction.
“Do you guys really think you can beat me?”
Amidst this, Julius, with astonishing confidence, casually slung his arm over my shoulder and smirked. Coming from my brother, whose facial symmetry is off the charts, it carries an incredible weight.
But still, it feels like something out of an otome game’s plot. But then again, even if I’m just a pseudo-heroine, if I can motivate someone, maybe it’s not so bad.
Besides, except for me, there’s no one else in this group who desperately wants extra points for the ranking exam.
“Fufu, I’m looking forward to seeing who wins on the day of the competition.”
“Y-Yes…”
As Mylene-sama smoothly linked her arm with mine, I nodded while unintentionally feeling my heart race.
And so, the battle over the title of number one host—and the somewhat trivial right to spend the closing event with me and watch the fireworks—began unexpectedly.
