Influenced by the "Chainsaw Man" incident.

The students of the private Toyosaki Academy are more reluctant than before about the cultural festival later this month.

Having said that, after the class meeting, the things that should be decided are almost settled.

Regarding what activities other classes plan to hold at that time, Kato Yusuke does not know yet.

However, the project for Class E of the first year, which was his own class, made the decision quickly.

With almost more than 70% of the class's votes in favor, the maid cafe won the top spot with great success.

It no longer matters who originally proposed this idea.

——"It's cliché, but you can see girls in the class wearing maid outfits."

Under the seemingly calm water, there seems to be such a faint emotion flowing.

In the morning class meeting, the boys' eyes crossed each other, secretly exchanged glances, and they understood the behavior of a united front...

All of which made the final result less suspenseful.

It is worth mentioning that some boys were too enthusiastic and unreasonably proposed the Bunny Girl Cafe project at the meeting.

Unfortunately, it was rejected immediately.

And because of his obvious ambition, he also aroused unanimous disgust among the girls.

Kato Yusuke also voted against this link.

As for the reason?

Let’s not talk about the ethical issues that may arise from the sensitive role of a bunny girl.

Just asking Hui to put on that costume couldn't help but make him feel conflicted.

In order to prevent that kind of thing from happening.

In the final voting session, Kato Yusuke very casually wrote the words maid cafe on an anonymous piece of paper and cast an insignificant vote.

Come from the masses, go to the masses.

As the student council president of the entire school, it is also part of my job to listen carefully to students' ideas and provide support.

As for the maid outfit or not.

Somewhat interested, but not much.

He, the student council president, is upright!

As for the cultural festival that will be held, the group that is most looking forward to it is actually the second-year students.

After all, with the second semester coming to an end at the end of the year, this is their last chance to have fun, and then they have to prepare for the exam.

Thinking of this situation, the students, mainly sophomores, became more motivated and determined to work hard.

As for the third-year students, this is also a rare opportunity to relax and take a breather from the huge pressure of the college entrance examination.

In summary, it is not difficult to understand why the school organizes cultural festivals with such dedication.

In such a lively atmosphere, the morning time flew by in a blink of an eye.

As the last class of the morning ended, the students stood up from their chairs in unison and gathered with their close friends.

While chatting about the cultural festival, head to the restaurant or atrium to have a meal.

Naturally, there are also people who plan to go to the canteen.

"So, Kato."

Yamaguchi, who was sitting in front, turned his head and asked casually: "What plans do you have for lunch today? Do you want to go to the restaurant together?"

…

"Didn't you already have an appointment with someone for dinner?" Kato Yusuke asked back, without immediately answering his plan.

"What? Did you hear everything?"

"If you mean borrowing comics in exchange for lunch, I did overhear it, but sitting so close to you, I can't help but not listening."

Yamaguchi laughed and said proudly: "How is it? Are you envious? Otherwise, I'll treat you to a barbecue set meal. Let's go to the restaurant together~"

"Not going."

"Why? Let's go together. We can also talk about "Chainsaw Man" and the cultural festival."

Kato Yusuke was unmoved by this and refused: "If it's you and Takei, forget it. It won't matter if there are other people present."

"Don't say that, let's go together, I'll treat you." Yamaguchi persisted for some reason.

But immediately, Takei, who walked up to him, revealed the truth.

"Actually, the reason why Takashi said this is because he wants to use you to use the seat of the student union, Kato."

"I see, I was just wondering why you would take the initiative to offer a treat, you despicable person."

"Idiot Takei, why are you telling me! I'm about to succeed right now!?"

"Hey, are you almost successful?"

"Isn't that of course! Just Kato, let me take him down with the barbecue set meal!"

"..."

Kato Yusuke watched their interaction speechlessly. For a moment, he didn't know how to complain. He only felt that he was vaguely insulted.

"...Anyway, I have an appointment here for lunch, so you don't have to worry about the barbecue set meal anymore, Yamaguchi. I will never agree to it from the beginning."

"Have you made a date?"

Yamaguchi was stunned when he heard what he said, and asked without thinking: "Who did you date?"

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment and replied: "It's Shiyu-senpai, we will have lunch together."

"..."

Yamaguchi immediately closed his mouth and looked aside involuntarily. Then he remembered that the two of them had left the classroom just now, and then he looked away.

He breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, scratched the back of his head with some distress, and said hesitantly: "Is that so...you and Kasumigaoka-senpai..."

"We are dating."

"Uh, is that really the case?"

Kato Yusuke hummed, then glanced at Takei who was a little confused next to him, and said:

"If Kako asks, you can tell the truth and it's okay. But the matter between me and senior Shiyu can just let it take its own course. There is no need to let others take the lead."

"Hmm...that means don't publicize it in a big way, right? We already know this kind of thing even if you don't say it."

As Yamaguchi spoke, he scratched his hair irritably, as if something was stuck in his throat. Finally, he dropped his shoulders as if giving up, and said with relief:

"Anyway, I understand what you mean.

But it's true, after all, Kasumigaoka-senpai has reached that point, and she has completely blocked her reputation.

Under such a premise, if you are rejected again, you will definitely be criticized, right? That kind of blow can be called devastating..."

…

As if he was trying to convince himself, Yamaguchi nodded his head repeatedly as he said this, his whole face wrinkled.

"--I have to say is."

He said with emotion: "No matter how delusional I am, I would never have imagined that that Kasumigaoka-senpai is so powerful, so handsome."

Kato Yusuke also nodded imperceptibly, saying: "...Senior Shiu, she is indeed very good."

"Isn't that natural? You enviable bastard!"

Yamaguchi had a familiar hearty smile on his face and said to him carelessly:

"You're actually dating such an outstanding senior. You have to treat her well. As for Kato-san... we will find a way to help you talk, right? Takei."

"...Ahaha, although I don't have much confidence, I will try my best to see." Takei agreed weakly, obviously lacking confidence.

"Can't you speak more energetically? You idiot!"

"Oh, oh~~~~~! Like this?"

"...Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yamaguchi held his forehead and couldn't bear to look at the miserable appearance of his forced smile.

"——About this matter."

Kato Yusuke interrupted their interaction and said calmly:

"I have talked to Hui, so you don't have to do anything, just act as usual, but thank you two for your kindness."

He conveyed this point clearly and clearly, closing the conversation.

Yamaguchi and Takei looked at each other. Although they had doubts in their minds, they didn't ask any further and just accepted it for the time being.

After that, the two parties parted ways outside the classroom.
