Firstly, both Shiki and Yukino had owed favors to the student council during the Toyotsu Festival. Yukino, who never liked to owe favors to others, would naturally choose to repay the favor in this matter.
Secondly, this work is actually not troublesome. You just need to communicate with the special store in advance, prepare the fuel for the bonfire, the wood for building the bonfire, and the quicklime as the isolation zone. At most, you can serve as a volunteer to maintain order during the folk dance.
As for notifying students about folk dance, that is the student union's business. After all, the sports festival is hosted by the student union, and the Service Club cannot really bypass the student union to organize the folk dance.
According to Amakusa Shino, she did not act without prior consultation, because she had previously surveyed other people's opinions in the student union, and most members did not support Dofu Mai mainly because they did not want to add extra heavy workload. So if the early preparations and some miscellaneous tasks in the later stages were outsourced to the Service Club, Dofu Mai's proposal should be easily passed under her strong push.
"The fuel is wood, right? At most, we can add some charcoal and alcohol for camping BBQ..." Yukino pondered.
After all, if other fuels were used, the bonfire would burn out very quickly, and it would be impossible for Siji and the others to stand there and keep adding wood to the fire. In this case, building a frame with wood from the beginning might be the best option.
"Just leave it to me. I know a nearby campground and can get some wood from the official there specifically for firewood."
Four Seasons said to her.
It is true that it is not impossible to directly use the ability to make money, but that would make it too uninvolving. It happened that when the first four seasons were focusing their main energy on the alias Natsume Makura, they would often run out of inspiration and have blocked ideas because their writing level was not yet at the maximum level.
At that time, he would either transform himself into Qiu Ling Wenping to do business to change his mood, or simply find a camping site to camp for a night. Surrounded by the vast starry sky and beautiful wild scenery, the feeling of insignificance as if one has merged with nature can best inspire a person's inspiration.
It is precisely because of this that he has been to several camping sites near Tokyo and is quite familiar with the owners. Even if one place does not provide enough firewood, he can always go to a few more places and get enough wood.
"Is that so? Then leave the isolation belt and other necessities to me." Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to put all the pressure on Shiki, so she decisively took the job.
"There is also folk dance music!" Amakusa Shino added from the side.
"Well, we have established good relations with the music clubs in school during the Fengyin Festival, so it should be no problem to invite them to take turns to perform."
Si Ji glanced at her and said, "It's better than just using the loudspeakers on the playground to play those cheesy background music, isn't it?"
Amakusa Shino, who originally just wanted to ask them to find suitable music to play in the broadcasting department, immediately showed an awkward but polite smile, as if to say "Yes, I thought so too."
But judging from the fact that the corners of her mouth were about to twitch, it seemed that the student council president was not used to showing such a dignified and elegant smile.
Just when Tenkusa Shino was planning to fish in the Service Club for a while and try to get some snacks from Oosaka Taiga, Vice President Kagamigawa Chloe appeared at the door.
"Excuse me, have you seen the president...ah, the president!"
"Ciallo~(∠?ω<)⌒☆, Chloe~" Amakusa Shino immediately started to act cute and winked at the other party.
"Now is not the time to joke," but the usually gentle vice president did not give Amakusa Shino any chance to escape this time. She blocked Amakusa Shino's escape route with skill and escorted Amakusa Shino, who had to be arrested because there was no sewer in the activity room, away.
"Well..." Amakusa Shino could only groan in pain and tried to explain: "I just want to rest for a while..."
"President, there is a lot of work related to the sports festival. You can't rest yet!"
Chloe Kagamigawa showed a gentle smile, but the courage in her smile did not disappear, which made Amakusa Shino dejected and let her take her away obediently.
But before she left, she was still winking at Shiki and Yukino, as if asking for help, or simply warning them not to reveal the matter of the folk dance in advance.
Shiki thought about it and decided to pretend he didn't see it. Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him, then followed his example and started reading the paperback in her hand as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, the only sound in the service club was the crispy sound of Oosaka Taiga munching on a delicious stick.
After a while, seeing that it was getting late, Si Ji decided to leave school for the time being.
As for whether he will transform into Fuyuo Kishihisa and go to the comics studio to update the progress, or become the sunny and cheerful big boy Haruta Masaki to visit the Moe Family, that is something to be considered at that time.
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." Shiki had just stood up when he saw Oosaka Taiga hurriedly packing up the snacks he had not finished eating, and then stood up as well.
Shiki and Yukino looked at Oosaka Taiga in confusion.
"Oosaka, the softball club's activities haven't ended yet. Even if you go down now, you'll have to wait for Kushieda-san there for a long time." Shiki said.
"I know," the girl said impatiently, "I'm not a child, of course I understand this kind of thing! Let's go!"
"..."
A somewhat absurd thought suddenly occurred to Shiki: Could it be that this guy doesn't want to go back with Kushieda Minori, but wants to go with him?
Chapter 332: The Abnormality of Oosaka Taiga
Shiki is actually not a wooden man or a slow-witted male protagonist with Assassin attributes. He can more or less feel other people's feelings.
After all, the ability to read people's expressions included in the level 10 business skill is not just good-looking.
He was almost certain that Oosaka Taiga did not have any feelings for him like that between a man and a woman - she did have some affection for him. After all, even if she had lost some of her memories, the experience of her and Shiki going to Kashiwazaki Sena's memorial service had not disappeared, and as comrades-in-arms, their relationship was still pretty good.
But his reputation with her was at most "friendly". If he dared to hug her and say something teasing like "Brother, you smell so good", the girl would probably slap him on the head.
That's why Shiki was so surprised when he found out that Oosaka Taiga had given up on going home with her best friend Kushieda Minori and wanted to follow her back to Washimiya Ryoku.
"Even if you come back with me now, it's not dinner time yet. There's nothing to eat, ok?"
Shiki tried to tell her.
"Wulusai, you are so nagging, are you a girl?" Oosaka Taiga said impatiently.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her thoughtfully, but in the end said nothing.
Well, since Oosaka Taiga said so, Shiki can only return to Washimiya-ryo with her.
He thought that after returning to Washimiya Dormitory, she would go directly to Kashiwazaki Sena's room to rest as before. However, to his surprise, the girl actually followed Shiki directly to 101, and then lay on the low table like a ghost, eating the senbei she brought and watching TV.
Si Ji also paid special attention to the TV program the other party was watching and found that it was just an ordinary comedy variety show with nothing special about it.
Suddenly, Si Ji felt that he was completely lost in the confusion of ‘cat head, universe, mother’s birth.jpg’ - why did this guy follow him back?
Si Ji put down his schoolbag, thought for a moment, and said to the girl: "I'm going to buy some food, you stay here and don't move..."
Actually, there were originally a lot of food ingredients stored in Shiki's kitchen, but they were contaminated by the stench of canned herring during the Dark Pot 22 period, causing most of them to lose their edible value. In addition, there were two more mouths to feed in Washimiya Dormitory in the past two days (Osaka Taiga's appetite is equivalent to that of three to five ordinary people), so the consumption of food ingredients increased all of a sudden. Although there were still some leftovers in the kitchen at this time, they did need to replenish the food ingredients.
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl quickly packed up the snacks she had just taken out and followed him closely.
"No, it's fine if you come back to the dormitory with me. After all, everyone in the dormitory is used to you coming to eat for free at dinner time, but now you have to go with me to buy ingredients. Is it necessary?"
Shiki asked doubtfully.
"Yes." The girl answered seriously: "My tongue...will have a physiological aversion to low-quality ingredients, so I must ensure the safety of the ingredients!"
"You are kidding me. A few days ago, Xing Na brought back a Wallace bucket because he didn't eat fast food much. Everyone got fooled, but you were the only one who didn't have any problems. You didn't even care about that. How could you be disgusted by such low-quality ingredients?"
Si Ji exposed her lie without hesitation: "So what's your situation?"
"Nothing, I just want to follow you. You don't have to care about me. It's not illegal anyway..." The girl took out a melon bag, took a big bite, and a happy look appeared on her soft face.
"No, no, no, this is totally stalking, right? It's definitely against the law!"
Si Ji then continued to complain.
"That's not true. Just treat me as air." The girl was still making excuses.
"Unfortunately, I'm very sensitive to other people's gazes, so I'm afraid I can't just ignore you and do what I'm supposed to do."
When Si Ji lied with his eyes open, he was just trying to see if he could get something out of the other person.
A person's temperament may suddenly change, either because he has suffered a blow or suffered from some disease.
If Oosaka Taiga really suffered a serious blow, Shiki felt that it was impossible for him to not hear any news at all.
Thinking about it this way, the latter is obviously more likely, and don't forget that she does have a disease that is like a time bomb.
Adolescent Syndrome - Shiki originally thought that the girl's condition was not serious, so it would be okay even if her illness was not treated, and nothing would happen. But now it seems that he was too careless.
"Ousaka, you can tell me anything you encounter," Shiki said to her seriously, "I will help you."
"It's nothing, really."
However, Oosaka Taiga rejected Shiki's kindness without hesitation: "You don't have to care about me."
"Okay, since you said so..." Si Ji was helpless.
He knew that the girl was strong-willed and would probably not ask him for help so easily, but he didn't expect her to be this strong-willed.
However, considering that she seems to be quite self-aware and has been keeping a certain distance from Si Ji since the beginning, even if something goes wrong, Si Ji will still be able to catch up in time.
In a sense, could this also be considered a manifestation of 'saying no but being honest with your body'?
It seems reasonable to think so. After all, Oosaka Taiga is indeed a fairly standard tsundere character...
Fortunately, Si Ji didn't care about it and had no intention of forcing the other party to speak out.
Even if she didn't say it, Si Ji felt that he should be able to find some clues in her various behaviors.
After all, if this guy always stays by my side, let alone running out to earn influence points, I can't even change into other vests. It seems that the situation of Oosaka Taiga has to be resolved as soon as possible.
So Shiki really took Oosaka Taiga to the supermarket. After all, the number of residents in Washimiya-ryo had increased, so the amount of food they bought would naturally be a lot more than before.
As expected, Oosaka Taiga had no requirements for ingredients - except that she strongly recommended buying meat in all seasons and expressed a certain degree of dissatisfaction with vegetables - she did not mean at all what she had just said about her tongue having a physiological aversion to inferior ingredients.
At least Si Ji deliberately bought a rotten radish, and the other party didn't say anything about it.
"By the way, what do you think about that folk dance?" Because the grocery shopping process was too boring, Si Ji could only ask the girl for conversation.
"Yes." The girl nodded.
"As expected...Huh?" Si Ji made a surprised sound.
Chapter 333 Doubts
Since Osaka Taiga met Shiki, he has been acting quite rough, giving people the impression that he only has eating and recklessness on his mind. So when Shiki heard that he actually had ideas about the folk dance proposed by Amakusa Shino, he couldn't help but be surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that Oosaka Taiga is actually not as careless and unconcerned as she appears.
The evidence is that when no one else connected the four seasons' home visit list with those students who had changed drastically, she was the only one who noticed something was wrong.
If it weren't for Shiki's strong physique, and the existence of Xianzhixian and Stand, which could be considered bugs in the everyday world without the supernatural, he would probably have been caught off guard by the brave and careful girl, and captured alive by the other party and... cough, tortured...
"Then tell me what you think." Si Ji asked curiously.
"To put it simply, it's just too abrupt."
As Oosaka Taiga picked up a box of high-end steak and put it into Shiki's shopping cart as if nothing had happened, he said, "No matter how you look at it, the sports festival is just an ordinary sports event. It has nothing to do with bonfire parties or folk dances..."
"Maybe it's a celebratory banquet?" Si Ji picked up the steak and put it aside, then took two green peppers and put them into the shopping cart leisurely under the girl's death gaze.
Maybe it’s due to the cooking method or the variety, the green peppers here in Japan taste a bit bitter, and are at the top of the list of vegetables that children find hard to eat.
Oosaka Taiga, whose taste is similar to that of a child, naturally doesn't like green peppers either, but the girl didn't get angry directly. After all, in her short period of freeloading, she has come to understand that there is no limit to Shiki's cooking skills. If he wanted to, he could make green peppers taste like meat.
Similarly, if he feels unhappy, although the chef will not make the dish unpalatable out of pride, he will make it extremely delicious but also spicy and numb, making it extremely painful to eat but completely unable to stop eating - of course, the next day is even more painful.
Every time he would mock, "This is just slightly spicy in Sichuan~" "No way, no way? There are people who can't even eat slightly spicy food, right? "Gu, you might as well kill me if you let me make strawberry mapo tofu" "Why don't you put pineapple on Italian pizza" and other weird things...
"For ordinary students, there is no need to celebrate, right? If the student council is celebrating the successful holding of the sports festival, they normally wouldn't choose to hold a bonfire party in the school, right?"
Said Oosaka Taiga.
"Then maybe it's really President Amakusa's arbitrary decision."
Si Ji pushed the shopping cart and followed the girl to the snack area. "That guy is not very reliable anyway, so it's not surprising that he would suddenly have the urge to do something like this... Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Although the president does say strange things, she still has a good reputation among students. You're probably the only one who thinks she's unreliable." Oosaka Taiga retracted his gaze and took a bunch of snacks from the shelf next to him and said casually, "Ah, I'll pay for these snacks myself, you're not allowed to take them away!"
So Si Ji had to withdraw his hand that was about to put the snacks back, and asked suspiciously: "Is she reliable?"
However, if we recall the previous behavior of the student council president, it does not seem so difficult to understand. The student council of Toyonosaki has always been autonomous. At least in the two years since Shiki entered school, the student council has not made any mistakes in this regard. It has always been well organized. Therefore, the student council of Toyonosaki has considerable credibility.
During the Toyotsu Festival, Amakusa Shino single-handedly resisted the pressure from the school and teachers, and finally obtained permission from both sides to hold the Toyotsu Festival, which was quite courageous.
During home visits, Fengzhiqi teachers would even entrust home visits to students that they themselves were helpless with to the student union, which also showed the student union's credibility with the teachers;
All the members of the student union are very convinced of Amakusa Shino, even students like Kagamigawa Chloe who are truly excellent in both character and academic performance are like this, which shows that Amakusa Shino does have a considerable degree of popularity.
The reason why Shiki felt that Amakusa Shino was not so reliable was, on the one hand, that she failed to respond effectively during the power outage during the Toyotsu Festival, and in the end it was he who told her where the school's backup power supply was; and on the other hand, it was the home visits that she entrusted him with, which caused Shiki a lot of trouble.
But if we look at it more objectively, these two situations were not the student union's fault.
During the power outage during the Toyoin Festival, it was already the limit for the student council members to maintain order on campus as much as possible under the command of Amakusa Shino. Even if the other party was the student council president, it didn't seem to be a big problem if he didn't specifically inquire about it and didn't know where the backup power supply was.
In fact, the special home visits were not a big trouble in the literal sense. Those students who needed home visits were not really bad kids. If it were just an ordinary home visit, Si Ji might feel a little troubled, but it was not a big problem. What really made Si Ji suffer was the adolescent syndrome that accompanied them.
The adolescent syndrome itself comes from Si Ji's own clumsy behavior, so it's not anyone else's fault.
"If I think about it this way, it seems that Amakusa Shino doesn't have any flaws except that she likes to tell dirty jokes..."
When Si Ji thought of this, he suddenly remembered the flat wall of sighs on the other person's chest, which was enough to make a baby cry, and he fell silent again.
It's true that no one is perfect in this world.
"If that's the case... it's a bit strange that she suddenly proposed to hold a bonfire party and folk dance."
Si Ji picked up a box of milk and looked at the production date. "And if you think about it carefully, there are indeed doubts in what she said."
Whether it's a bonfire party or folk dance, they are both activities that are more suitable for school festivals.
