for Advance Chapter
A few days later, afternoon class.
"Umm, well then, I'd like to decide what our class will perform at the school festival."
A class meeting was about to be held in Yuu, Yui, and Takuya's class to decide what to perform at the school festival, which was taking place in a few weeks.
The person standing in front of the podium is not a teacher, but the class representative.
Although he appears a little hesitant, he shows his determination to carry out his duties properly.
"Maid cafe!"
Of course, it wasn't Takuya who said that.
He had once suggested this to Yu and the others, but after being rebuffed and persuaded, he had already changed his mind. The one now was another playful male student.
The moment he said that, the girls all cried out in unison.
They said, "It's gross to see their desires through. Don't make only girls work. I can't cook and I don't want to cosplay in front of other people. I knew someone would say something anyway." And so on. There were some female students who were in favor of it, but they were in the very minority.
And the most common opinion among the female students was, "If I did that with Yui-chan here, I would lose confidence."
"Eh, me?"
Yui, who never thought that her status would be given as a reason for refusing to work at a maid cafe, exclaims in surprise.
"Of course."
A female student standing nearby said with a wry smile.
"No one wants to wear a maid outfit next to Yui, who is an active actress. It would make them lose their confidence as women."
Although it sounded like he was half-joking, the surrounding girls nodded in agreement.
If you think about it, it makes sense, a beautiful actress who is said to be an angel and a normal high school girl are in the same space, both dressed in maid outfits and serving customers. Most people will not pay any attention to anyone other than Yui.
However, the way the female students look at Yui isn't with jealousy, but with resignation and envy, as if to say, "It can't be helped, there's no way we can win against Yui."
"So what should we do?"
A male student whose proposal was rejected asks for an alternative.
He is obviously in a bad mood.
(I guess he liked Yui-chan)
That's what Yu thought when he saw it.
Since Yui was dating Takuya, he probably wanted to see her in a maid outfit at least.
Now, there was a lot of opposition from the female students and they refused, but even if that hadn't been the case, if Takuya, Yui or Yu had done something like that, they would have stopped it as there would have been too many customers and it would have caused a panic.
"How about a haunted house or something?"
In that case, you'll be dressing up in dim light, so differences in appearance won't be as noticeable as they would be in a maid cafe.
When one female student said this, the other girls around her began to agree, saying it was a good idea.
It seemed like they were planning to surprise their friends from other classes. That's what I could hear.
(A haunted house...?)
In that case, they would probably have to split up into two groups: one for the ghosts that would scare the audience on the day, and the other for the interior decoration and costumes. In other words, Takuya would be the ghost on the day, and Yui and I would be the ones preparing for the big day.
"Anyone else have any ideas?"
The class representative asks the classmates if they have any other ideas.
"..."
But nobody is willing to suggest it.
It's not that there are no ideas, but rather that a haunted house would be fine, the atmosphere in the classroom was such that no one seemed to dare voice any objections.
"Then a haunted house is the answer."
Since Yui and Takuya, who are popular in the class, don't raise any objections, the decision is made smoothly without any fuss.
Yuu thought it would be easy to get Takuya to act as the ghost on the day and himself to act as the preparation for the main event. Or rather, he didn't think it was even necessary to do so.
The shadowy roles at times like this are usually played by the less prominent students in the class, while the prominent roles on the day are usually played by the more popular students in the class.
In the end, the problem was Yui.
Once we had decided what to do, the next step was to assign roles to our classmates.
The class representative listens to each student's requests and puts them together, but Takuya volunteers to be the person to run the event, just as he had hoped. Or rather, it seems he had no choice but to do so after being invited by his friends around him.
"Oh, I'd like to join the preparation team."
Meanwhile, Yui spoke as if she had sensed what Yu wanted.
"picture?"
Naturally, the surrounding students, who had assumed that Yui would also be playing the role of a ghost, raised questions.
"There might be a shooting scheduled during the school festival... so I don't want to cause any trouble to everyone."
Yui looked around at her classmates as if to persuade them. For just a moment, her eyes were filled with heat as she stared at Yu.
(Seriously Yui-chan…)
When Yui makes eye contact with him, Yuu has to hold back the smile that comes from her face.
And it would be a problem if there were fewer surprises on the day. That's only natural, and it can't be helped if the other students are the same.
"But is it okay? I broke up with my boyfriend."
"Eh, uh, okay... It's not like Takkun will be tied up all day, right?"
Yui seemed a little flustered as she responded to the words of the female student nearby.
It was as if she hadn't been thinking about Takuya at all.
However, the classmate took it as an attempt to hide his embarrassment and laughed happily.
"Hehe, Yui-chan, there's no need to be so embarrassed."
"Ah, ahaha..."
Yui let out a dry laugh.
