Chapter 328: Chapter 326: Sports Festival Promotional Video!
Facing the cute little Ise Yu with a proud look waiting for praise, Shirakawa Sawahei really wanted to pat her head and ask if she needed a spare key.
You? A career woman?
You probably don’t have a deep understanding of your own lv4 slacking skills...
"Shirakawa... What is that expression on your face! So disrespectful!"
"No expression... Anyway... Do you really plan to eat takeout with everyone tomorrow?"
"Well~ about that... I actually don’t want to... But Sakurazawa suddenly said the tea party was postponed by a week, starting next weekend..."
"What did you say?"
"I said... Sakurazawa postponed the tea party!" The slacking girl murmured, "Shirakawa, is your hearing not that good?"
Shirakawa Sawahei fell silent.
Tsukimi Sakurazawa... suddenly canceled the tea party? And just the day before I was about to backstab her?
Coincidence...?
No, impossible!
To say there’s no connection between the two... Shirakawa Sawahei thought maybe only the slacking girl’s intelligence would believe that... Could it be I’ve alerted her before?
It shouldn’t be, was there a mistake in some step?
He slightly furrowed his brows, pondering and calculating the various developments of this matter. The slacking girl saw Shirakawa Sawahei becoming serious, and cautiously probed, "Shirakawa... are you disappointed?"
"Disappointed about what?"
"Like that kind of: ’inviting good friends to your home and finding out they all have plans’ disappointment..."
"..."
"Don’t make it sound like I’m on the same level as you."
"I’m not childish enough to be disappointed by such small things! I’m already a high schooler, you know! Already at the legal marriage age!"
"That, I didn’t notice."
Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at the slacking girl’s chest and silently added.
Except for the chest.
Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s strange behavior piqued Shirakawa Sawahei’s curiosity. He thought for a moment and decided to cancel the meeting with Tsukimi Yamadori—after all, the main point of backstabbing Tsukimi Sakurazawa is the "backstabbing." Attacking directly in front of other girls is just foolish.
Speaking of which... could the reason Tsukimi Sakurazawa canceled the tea party be related to Tsukimi Yamadori?
With this thought in mind, Shirakawa Sawahei returned to his room and dialed Tsukimi Yamadori’s number again...
After the call ended, Shirakawa Sawahei’s face gradually turned strange...
...
During the club activities on Monday, Tsukimi Sakurazawa, teary-eyed, ran over and hugged Shirakawa’s arm.
"Shirakawa... please help me... the sports festival planning is torturous... I spent the whole weekend on this... I have no inspiration at all... boohoo~"
Shirakawa Sawahei discreetly withdrew his arm and asked, "So you canceled the tea party because of this?"
"What else? I also want to play with everyone... but since I took on this task... I have to be responsible..."
"Oh, then good luck."
"Shirakawa! You can’t run away! Be a bro and stand by my side!"
"It’s just planning, can’t you just follow the usual routine?" Shirakawa Sawahei rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly retorting, "Do you really want to try something new?"
"That’s what I’m saying, but now the sports festival is really getting harder to organize... students have absolutely no enthusiasm to participate..."
"Oh, that’s right." Ise Yu Yuzhijin chimed in, "There are rarely any discussions about the sports festival in our class; they say the event is tiring and boring, and the competitions lack novelty, with no willingness to participate..."
Black Hearted Lolita didn’t want Shirakawa Sawahei involved, but given the situation, she could only comment casually, "Maybe for students now, the sports festival is just a day off."
"That’s what I’m saying... Shirakawa... please help me think of a creative idea."
"Stop shaking... even if you shake, I won’t help you."
"No way, no way~ Shirakawa, you’re the best..." The whiny girl blinked continuously trying to be cute, "At most, I’ll find an opportunity to repay you later?"
"No."
"Yes, yes, repayment is a must..."
"I meant I won’t help you..."
"Shirakawa~"
"..."
After Tsukimi Sakurazawa kept shaking for a while, Shirakawa Sawahei finally couldn’t resist her cuteness strategy, reluctantly saying, "Just this once?"
"Of course, of course... come on, please!"
This successful combination of fluff and persuasion in tricking Shirakawa Sawahei to help out, left Black Hearted Lolita dumbfounded, slowly typing out a question mark.
What is this? Some special method to deal with a tsundere pretty boy???
So am I the only one in the Calligraphy Club who doesn’t know this routine? Was my previous failure to win over the pretty boy because I wasn’t persistent enough!!?
Learned it, learned it...
"What ideas did your planning group come up with?"
"Just some unique mini sports... like mixed-gender relay racing... three-legged jump rope... but they all seem to have lukewarm responses..." The whiny girl said troubledly, "This generation of people is really hard to handle..."
"Then how about considering some team sports?" Shirakawa Sawahei picked up a piece of draft paper and wrote, "Tug of war?"
"That’s too exhausting, though it’s lively, but not easy to allocate participants..."
"And the pain if someone steps on you!" the slacking girl hurriedly added, "I was stomped on once in elementary school, and the photo my mom took was simply gruesome..."
"Hahahahaha... Orikin... stop, I can picture it... Maybe this could unleash your potential."
"No potential will be unleashed... my stamina is totally lacking..."
"Then consider other group sports... football."
"Women’s soccer team? That seems possible..."
Miss Tachibana Tomoku timidly raised her hand, "Um... I can’t play football..."
"Neither can I! But I’m good at playing soccer video games!" The slacking girl proudly raised her hand.
"Well... among girls, it seems very few actually know how to play football... Shirakawa, switch to another idea!"
Shirakawa Sawahei tossed the pen and paper aside, exasperated, "Putting aside the creative ideas... do you have a lot of say in the planning group? Can you ensure your ideas get adopted?"
"Well... it’s by voting... but if the idea is really good, everyone will agree to it!"
"As long as it’s creative, even the voting will work!"
The slacking girl and the whiny girl high-fived and shared a smile.
"..."
"Forget it... for your sports festival, don’t think about the events for now." Shirakawa Sawahei tossed the pen and paper onto the table and said.
"Perhaps, you could try making a promotional video? To arouse everyone’s enthusiasm for sports?"
"It would be best if it were the kind of promotional video that inspires everyone with beautiful and promising outcomes, encouraging spontaneous involvement in the sports depicted."
