In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

"Wait--"

Gao Qiaofeng didn't stop her and finally let her go out.

Goto Ichiri didn't know why Xiao Feng was so smart and could arrange many things clearly, no matter how complicated or not, but there was always a problem.

Not willing to seek help from others.

Occasionally, she would follow Takahashi Kaede to the art room to chat with Eriri. The art room was very large and had many shelves and tables needed for drawing.

If I could ask Eriri to lend me some, the problem would be solved!

She trotted all the way to the door of the art room, leaned half of her body inside, and while breathing slightly, she looked for any trace of Eriri.

At this time, Ying Lili was sitting on a chair in the art room, bored, swinging her feet and occasionally drawing.

The Art Club is a club specially appointed by the school. It is not only helpful in recruiting new members, but also has outside personnel to help with activities.

The school has also allocated a large classroom for them to hold the exhibition, so now there are only a few people sitting there bored in the art room.

Eriri has only been learning to paint for a short time. Although her talent quickly emerged and her progress was obvious, she has not yet reached the level where she can exhibit her works. Most of the paintings in the exhibition were painted by classmates who have studied for a long time, and these paintings have formed their own unique style.

Besides, she is only in the first grade. This kind of activity should be led by senior students, and the lower grade students should just have fun. Takahashi Kaede is an exception among exceptions.

"Yili? Why are you here? Doesn't Gaoqiao Feng need your help?"

Seeing that the classmates around him were quietly drawing, Goto Ichiri walked over to Eriri and whispered to her what had just happened.

Due to emotional favoritism, the students mentioned by Goto Ichiri are particularly bad, and even feel a bit like "bullies".

However, Goto Ichiri did not exaggerate what they did, but even if he described it in plain terms, it was still very infuriating.

"That's unreasonable!"

Eriri and Goto Ichiri turned around at the same time and found a senior student shouting indignantly. Some of the students who were drawing around them also had sad and angry expressions, as if this unfair thing was happening to them.

"The student union is bullying others with its power, using the school's authority to oppress ordinary students, and doing all these despicable and dirty things. Students, if you need anything, we will definitely help you and do our best!"

For a moment, the angry classmates and he looked at Goto Ichiri at the same time.

Goto Ichiri didn't dare to meet their burning gazes and secretly moved behind Eriri.

"Yili, what is your biggest problem right now? Is it that you don't have a table or counter for display?"

As Goto Ichiri just said, the student union came over aggressively and moved away almost all the desks and chairs in the classroom.

Eriri extracted the key information from her words, and she knew that Takahashi Kaede was going to hold a figure exhibition, so she speculated that there were fewer display cabinets.

"Ah... yes..."

Being watched by a group of people, Goto Ichiri felt a lot of pressure. She resisted the urge to go back into her mother's belly and stammered out a few words.

"Deputy Minister, can we borrow some tables and chairs from the art room? My friend has been preparing for this exhibition for a long time, and I sincerely hope that he can hold it smoothly."

Ying Lili looked at the senior who had just spoken. He was actually the vice-director of the art department. He specialized in painting and usually stayed in the art room.

"Of course, come and help us carry the tables and chairs over. Sawamura-kun, where is the place?"

I don’t know if it was because of his youthful passion and some anger, or because he felt pity for the two pitiful little girls and wanted to help, but in any case, he was passionate and eager to help.

Eriri looked at Goto Ichiri and motioned for her to lead the way.

Carrying the tables, everyone set off in a mighty procession.

......

At this time, Gao Qiaofeng was sitting in his chair thinking about why the student union wanted to stare at him and make trouble for him.

Although I just thought of picking on the weak, why should I pick on myself?

This kind of personally organized event is actually not uncommon. There is an event nearby hosted by astronomy enthusiasts. They put tables together and placed models of planets on them. From the perspective of resource consumption alone, the amount will only increase, not decrease.

Gao Qiaofeng began to simulate the process of the student union discovering the loophole and taking away the tables and chairs from him to remedy the situation.

First, the plan was changed temporarily during rehearsal, which resulted in the need for more tables and chairs. It may be that the dance moves were added and a larger venue was needed for the performance. There is no suspicion here. I am not important enough to need to change the plan temporarily to suppress it.

Then there was a shortage of desks and chairs. From the time the problem was discovered to the time the students made a decision, they finally had to come to their department and forcibly "borrow" some desks and chairs.

If there was a conspiracy, it started here.

Chapter 22: The Deputy Minister's Help

Was it someone who was causing trouble? Or was it a department that was chosen to be the unlucky one from the beginning, and then the minister improvised and turned the blame on his figurine exhibition, making himself the scapegoat?

Finally, the student union cadres made the decision and called a large number of student union members to help move the tables and chairs.

Gao Qiaofeng pinched his chin and thought hard.

I haven't offended anyone at school recently, and I have completed the orders for the figures well. There is no possibility that I will treat people differently when making figures and cause resentment from others.

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar face entered the classroom.

"I accidentally took your things when I was moving the table just now, and now I'm here to return them."

A boy wearing a student union armband walked in, holding the base for the figure in his hand.

Gao Qiaofeng kept staring at him until he put down his things and walked out of the classroom.

It's him.

This boy sat in front of Takahashi Kaede and was the only one who had had a conflict with him.

He happened to join the student union and participated in the action of moving the desks and chairs in Gaoqiao Feng's classroom. It was probably because he didn't pay attention when moving the tables just now, and was reminded by other students to deliver the things over.

Gao Qiaofeng felt that he should not speculate such bad thoughts about others, but this coincidence still made him feel suspicious. Maybe, possibly, just maybe, this boy was holding a grudge and always wanted to take revenge on him.

Takahashi Feng has no evidence, this is just his sinister guess.

It’s a bit late to say this now, so I’d better put the remaining tables outside and act as a front desk customer service introducing the figures.

"Why hasn't Yili come back yet?"

Wondering about Ichiri's movements, he called Honda Daigo and was about to get up and move the table when suddenly a noisy noise was heard outside.

"Which classroom? This one? Okay."

With the sound of footsteps, a large group of people carrying tables rushed in from the door. Eriri and Goto Ichiri followed closely behind and helped to move the tables in.

"What are you doing? Didn't the student union say that there were no extra tables in the surrounding clubs?"

Takahashi Kaede was at a loss at first, but when he saw Goto Ichiri and Eriri come in, he understood. These tables must have been borrowed from the art club by Goto Ichiri who asked Eriri for help.

"What, they said that? Bullshit! They never came to us to borrow money. This is just an excuse to convince you!"

The leading boy was quite angry after hearing what Takahashi Feng said, and his tone was a bit bad.

"These guys like to do whatever they want once they have a certain position. I guess they saw that you are a junior student, so they made up an excuse to deal with you."

Gao Qiaofeng felt a little dazed.

But now was not the time to stay there, so he hurried down to help put the tables and chairs in place, and installed the bases according to his original idea.

"What are you going to exhibit? Acrylic?"

The deputy director of the art department who was in charge stared blankly at Takahashi Kaede. They had just brought the tables and chairs and came over in a hurry. He had not learned about the situation from Eriri and Goto Ichiri, and now he didn't even know what the exhibition was about.

Takahashi Feng didn't say anything. He opened the box and took out the figures one by one.

"Ohh ...

The deputy minister became a little uneasy the moment Gao Qiao Feng took out the figures. There were so many figures, and the quality was so high. He had never seen figures of this kind in the store.

Goto Ichiri walked up and helped Takahashi Kaede put the figure on the base together with Honda Daigo.

The bases are divided into three types according to their height. The shortest one has the figures mounted on it almost touching the table top, and the taller bases are not much higher, with one layer being one-third of the height of the figures.

The installation was done in the order of low at the front and high at the back, and the result was in line with Gao Qiao Feng's expectations.

Students who walk in out of curiosity will be surrounded by all kinds of characters as soon as they enter, and they will be immediately amazed.

Figures with different heights will give people a sense of hierarchy. A classroom was decorated by Takahashi Kaede to look like a figure store.

Not only was the deputy director surprised, but all the students who came in to help, including Eriri, were also a little surprised.

Their feeling is like suddenly discovering a figurine store while shopping, and when they walk in, they see that all the figurines are of high quality and there are a wide variety of characters.

It might be even stronger than this, because they were watching Takahashi Kaede and his members put up the figures one by one.

At this moment, the deputy minister felt that he had made the right choice.

Although it was his nature to speak up for his classmates, he didn't want his classmates to have their hard work go to waste for such a bad reason, so every time he saw such a thing he wanted to help as much as possible.

But most of the time, the feeling of helping others is endogenous self-touching, and few people can make them feel that the efforts they put in are equal to what the people they help receive.

But this time is different.

This exhibition by Takahashi Kaede was like a treasure of the school. The student union tried to cover it with a gray cloth before it was unveiled to prevent it from shining, but my timely assistance lifted the curtain.

This treasure can be seen by my classmates and can go well in the interview, so I also have a share of the credit!

"By the way, are you selling these figures?"

"Yes, but this time it's just for exhibition, not for sale. After all, the reason I went through so much trouble for this exhibition is to set up a club, and then provide wooden figure customization services to students at school. As you can see, there are only three people in our club, which is not enough to meet the requirements for setting up a club."

"I see... I think your level is totally genius level. If you just want to attract your classmates, that's totally fine!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Gao Qiaofeng chatted with the deputy minister in a friendly manner for a while, and most of the students around him walked around and looked at the figures, marveling at them.

"Don't be annoying, but I still want to ask, are these figurines really made by you? They're not the work of a professional carpenter who is then responsible for repairing them?"

"If we can establish a club in the future, you can come to our club. I should be there during club activities, and I will show the process of making figures to the public."

Gao Qiaofeng invited him calmly, since words could not convince people, then he should prove his strength with actions.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Sugihara Taku, the vice president of the art club, and I just entered the sixth grade."

"Takahashi Kaede, a first-year student, please give me your guidance in the future."

"You're only in the first grade, that's amazing."

The two shook hands in a friendly manner and then went aside to chat.

Sugihara Taku felt that the junior in front of him was very...mature. It was very comfortable to talk to him. When they talked about something, the introduction he gave didn't sound like a first-grade elementary school student at all, but instead sounded like his older sister who had just entered college.

Soon, the bell rang and the exhibition officially began.

Chapter 23 Great Success

"We won't disturb the event. We'll leave first."

With a large group of members, Sugihara Taku returned to the art club.

Ying Lili didn't follow them back, she was still looking at the figures.

"Can you pick this up and have a look?"

Eriri pointed at a vampire figurine with white hair and red eyes, her eyes sparkling and she couldn't stop being excited.

This is a figure created by Takahashi Kaede based on some of his favorite vampire characters from his previous life.

She was wearing a red dress and her long hair fell to her feet like a waterfall, with her white ankles exposed. She looked more like a princess than a vampire.

But the slightly evil expression combined with the canine teeth makes people feel that beauty and cunning coexist.

"Of course you can. It's just an exhibition. If you want to look at it, just pick it up and look at it. Just put it back where it belongs. Not to mention you're helping me."

Eriri said "Okay" and sat behind the counter with the figure in her hand.

Takahashi Feng looked at Goto Ichiri and was about to say something, but before he could finish his words he was interrupted by a classmate who came in from the door.

"Wow! What kind of place is this? There are so many figures! Shoko, come and see!"

"Really? Is this an event organized by classmates? Can we come in?"

Two little girls poked their heads in, and seemed to be a little timid when they noticed that no one was looking at them.

"You and Daigo should go behind the counter and prepare to receive the students. I'm a bit busy right now. I'll thank you properly later."

After letting Goto Ichiri go to the stage with a slight apology, Takahashi Kaede walked towards the two girls.

"We are a woodworking club, and these figures are all on display for the students to see. You can look at them at will, it's okay."

After explaining, Takahashi Feng made way for them.
