Higashiueno High School Student A
Morning! Has your class decided what to do for the school festival booth yet?
Higashiueno High School Student B
We're deciding this week, I think. Last year the preparation was super hard, so I want something easy this year.
Higashiueno High School Student A
Whaat? High school life is only three years, and we only have three cultural festivals, you know? Shouldn't we do something super fun?
Higashiueno High School Student B
But I don't want to do something where we have to stay overnight at school. Something casual is fine, take it eaaasy.
Higashiueno High School Student A
Staying overnight at school is the essence of youth! Geez, what a waste.
Xue
Cultural festival...huh.
Xue
Hmph, I don't know what it's about, but staying overnight for a school event? How much free time do they have?
Xue
It's better to just go home and work part time to make money. Just do whatever.
Xue
yawn ...So sleepy, I got too excited last night...
Classmate A
So, today's homeroom will be about selecting class committee members for the upcoming cultural festival!
Hikari
Yes! From here on, Cultural Festival Committee member Yonaguni Hikari will be taking charge!
Hikari
Um, the class committee members will assist the festival committee and be responsible for managing the class activities.
Hikari
If anyone wants to do it, please raise your hand!
Xue
yawn.
Xue
(So Hikari is on the committee, huh. She's already so busy with practice and streaming every day, she really does a lot.)
Xue
(I absolutely refuse to waste my time on unnecessary things, so I'll use this pointless discussion time for a nap.)
Xue
...ZZZ...ZZZ...
Hikari
Huh? No volunteers...?
Classmate B
Sorry, I already have plans to do something with my club...
Classmate C
Me too. I have committee work every year...
Hikari
That's rough...club activities and committees are important, I get it...
Hikari
But someone has to do it, right?
Hikari
Hmm, hmm, someone who's not in a club or committee, someone reliable-
Hikari
-I know!
Xue
Hey, Hikari, are you here!?
Hikari
Gah, Xue...!
Hikari
Is your part-time job already over...?
Xue
I worked through my tasks at twice the normal speed because I was so angry at you! Hikari! How dare you make me a class committee member without my permission!
Hikari
B-But...Xue, you're not in any clubs or committees, and you're reliable, so I thought you'd be perfect...
Xue
Stop making excuses! Who makes decisions for people while they're sleeping!?
Hikari
W-Well...it's your fault for sleeping during homeroom!
Xue
What did you say!?
Ramona
Now, now, you two, I could hear your voices from the hallway. What's all this commotion about?
Lilja
Fighting is just noisy.
Lilja
...Did Hikari make Xue angry?
Hikari
Yeah...I wanted Xue to enjoy the cultural festival too...So I had her appointed as a class committee member.
Xue
Mind your own business. If I had that kind of free time, I'd have other things to do!
Hikari
No way! High school cultural festivals only happen three times in your life! You'll miss out if you don't participate as a committee member and perform on stage!
Lilja
Are you participating, Hikari?
Hikari
Of course! I'm on the committee, and I'm thinking of performing a dance on stage with everyone!
Xue
Dance!? Are you really okay with that?
Xue
Some boring people might say stupid things to you again.
Hikari
Yeah. I'm still a little nervous, but I really do love dancing.
Hikari
And the kids in our class said they're cheering for me, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Ramona
I see. I'm glad if Hikari thinks she can enjoy it. So that means you're planning to enjoy the cultural festival 100%, right?
Hikari
That's right! Hehe!
Hikari
That's why I'd be happy if Xue could join in too...
Xue
That's a completely different story. Don't think I'll let you talk me into this.
Ramona
Come on, Xue.
Ramona
Maybe Hikari's judgment isn't entirely wrong?
Ramona
You'd be good at supporting Hikari, and it's a perfect opportunity to enjoy high school life.
Xue
Hmph. School events don't need to be taken seriously.
Xue
It would be more worthwhile to work part time and make money instead.
Lilja
But it's already been decided, right? Don't you have to do it?
Xue
Grr...that's...true, but...
Hikari
T-Then, for the time you spend as a committee member, I'll do your laundry and cleaning for you! I'll even help with your part time job!
Hikari
Come on, forgive me? Xue...
Xue
...
Xue
I'm not sure I trust you with the laundry and cleaning, but...
Xue
Fine, I'll do it if I have to.
Hikari
Yay! Thanks, Xue!
