Sagami Minami opened her mouth slightly, but uttered no vulgar words.

"Oh, Asuna, want to have lunch together? It's on me~"

During Asuna's break, Haruno came over and rubbed against her with a smile.

"Hina-senpai..."

Asuna sighed softly, "I brought a bento box today."

"A bento box is fine, I just want to treat you to a meal... well, as a reward for your hard work."

I think you're just trying to win me over, aren't you?

Asuna stroked her long hair and nodded helplessly. "However, I'll bring people with me."

Yang smiled and massaged Asuna's shoulders. "Of course, that's no problem."

"Well... let's go together, Haruno-senpai. Mashiro is still in the art room."

"..."

Yukinoshita paused slightly in her movements.

"But is it really okay to mock Sagami-kun like this? Although he is indeed an unlikable character, this is still a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

Asuna blinked. "That's not how you vent your anger!"

"No."

With an innocent look on her face, Yang Nai grabbed Asuna's arm and tried to walk out of the meeting room. "I was just using the harshness of reality to help her grow, just like Shizuka said. After all... there's no gain without pain, right?"

Xiaojing, please, this time you'll take the blame!

Asuna smiled gently, "Being cunning isn't exactly endearing~!"

Turning around, Asuna saw that Sagami Minami, who was sitting in the main seat, looked increasingly worse.

…………

"Dragon Maid, Cute Dog, Meow Girl, Tanuki, Extraordinary Leopard, and a few more..."

"Okay, okay, I know."

Kiritani interrupted the class president, who was about to continue speaking, picked up his still-steaming coffee, took a sip, and found it quite delicious.

I glanced at the makeshift bar counter and saw that Kato Megumi, who was usually not very noticeable, was mixing coffee. A few days ago, Kato Megumi had little time to spend at the academy because she needed to go to that coffee shop to learn some coffee-making skills from the manager. This was something we had agreed on when we first went to rent coffee equipment.

The store manager was very pleased with this, especially after hearing that Kato Megumi wanted to learn how to make blended coffee first. He spared no effort in teaching her, and although it was only for less than three days, Kato Megumi was already able to do a very good job in blending.

But then again, it makes sense. Although Kato Megumi lives like a plant in her daily life, once she sets her mind on something, she will definitely want to do it better.

Therefore, Kiritani-kun can completely understand.

But what animal did Megumi Kato portray when the school festival began?

...Because of the committee's affairs, Eriri was mostly left to handle the class matters.

"By the way, are all the outfits ready?"

"It's still a little short. Sawamura felt there was a slight problem, so he took it back to make changes."

The class monitor stroked the slightly crooked dragon horn and smiled, "But I have to say, the beast girl café project is really great. If the door wasn't closed and the curtains weren't drawn, there would definitely be a lot of students from other classes coming to watch."

Isn't that obvious?

While coffee shops are nothing new, kemonomimi (animal girls) are different. Who wouldn't be interested in cute girls?

If there really is one—he's probably gay!

"Is there anything else we haven't prepared for?"

"Huh? How could there still be any!"

The class monitor rolled his eyes, with a hint of anger in them. "You're exploiting our labor, forcing us to finish five days' worth of work in less than four... Well, while other classes are busy tomorrow, we can relax to our hearts' content... Ah, I mean, rehearse, so that nothing goes wrong when the school festival starts."

"I see... Then I'll find you some things to do later..."

"If you dare to come looking for me, I'll strangle you!"

Very impolitely, the class monitor came over and grabbed Kiritani-kun by the collar, saying fiercely.

Kiritani turned his head away and pouted, saying, "Too close, you should watch your distance a little."

"Hmph~!"

The class monitor let go, instantly regaining his smiling demeanor, and even gently straightened Kiritani's collar.

At the bar, Ms. Kato Megumi pursed her lips slightly, gave the creature called the class president a deep look, then calmly looked away and began to concentrate on mixing coffee. Soon, an arrow-shaped pattern was drawn.

Meanwhile, Aki Tomoya took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and began working expressionlessly.

P.S.: As for the word count, it'll take a long time to write...

P.S.: Book recommendation: "The Landlord Author and the Young Heroine"

Synopsis: My name is Qin Ming. I'm a landlord and writer. My new book flopped and I lost my tenants, so I planned to write a fun yuri anime and then stop updating and run away. But I never expected that the valiant young heroine in my story would suddenly show up at my door with a holy sword.

My name is Qin Ming, and I am an astrologer. I am currently serving as the guide for that young heroine. Although others think my divination is very accurate, I know that I am a fraud because half of the future visions I describe are from my own novels, and the other half are written on the spot.

The author has already completed a million-word novel, so the quality is guaranteed.

【NO.375 I'm here...】

The day before the school festival begins.

"Ah, that was close! We were able to get everything ready before the opening ceremony thanks to Kiritani-kun."

The student council president, Cheng Huixun, praised him thus, while the vice-chairman, looking utterly exhausted and slumped listlessly on the table, remained silent.

The committee members all nodded in agreement. Although the opening ceremony was tomorrow morning, they were able to prepare everything a little earlier, and under such tight time constraints. It was clear how hard it had been. Those of them who had worked together to achieve this were undoubtedly the ones who understood this feeling the most.

Furthermore, it became clear that if they relaxed and did things as the chairman suggested, most projects would fall behind schedule and would definitely not be completed by now.

Of course, aside from the majority who felt that Kiritani-kun managed things very well, there were also those who felt that Kiritani-kun... how should I put it, he stole the spotlight?

In short, Sagami Minami is forcing a smile right now.

With a terrible expression, Sagami Minami looked at the committee members who had finished their work and started making a ruckus, and forced a weak smile.

Lying on the vice chairman's desk, Kiritani listened to the castle inspector's praise without any joy. In fact, if it weren't for Sagami Minami's interruption yesterday, the work would have been finished by around noon this morning, and wouldn't have been left until almost dusk—the power of pigs, he finally understood clearly.

To be honest, if the guys in our own club were to do this kind of project, it would take at least three-fifths less time. It all comes down to the difference in execution...

"Yes, Kiritani-kun is amazing."

With a tone that was almost monotone, Minami Sagami said this.

Tsk! I'm already being lenient by not kicking you to death, and now you're mocking me?

Kirigaya-kun chose to ignore this teammate who could completely make you realize how much of a burden he was, and instead propped his chin up with his hand, looking at the committee members below, and said calmly, "Although the preparations are complete, the school festival is not over yet. There can be no relaxation whatsoever. To prevent any mistakes, everyone should carefully check their respective tasks. If there are any mistakes... well, you'll have to commit seppuku!"

"Yes!"

The relatively unanimous response made Kiritani nod with satisfaction.

But Sagami Minami, sitting to his side, looked even more displeased... She should have been the most eye-catching one, as she was the executive chairperson of the school festival. However, whether it was Yukinoshita before or Kirito now, they could steal all the attention as soon as they appeared, while no one paid any attention to her sitting in the main seat.

Sagami Minami gritted her teeth inwardly. In her eyes, both Yukinoshita and Kiritani Kazuto were such a nuisance, and in the eyes of these committee members, it seemed that... any one of them was enough.

"Alright, let's get started. Get everything sorted out before you go back, or you won't have anything to do at tomorrow's opening ceremony."

Kiritani glanced lazily at Sagami Minami. To be honest, if it weren't for Hayama helping Sagami Minami, she would never have been able to handle those documents that were like gibberish to her. What a meddlesome guy.

Kiritani raised his head slightly and looked at the corner where a girl who always maintained an indifferent expression sat. Her name was Yukinoshita, the former vice-chairperson, and now... well, a regular committee member.

Yes, after recovering from her illness, Yukinoshita returned to school. However, due to Kiritani-kun's situation, she did not return to her position as vice-chairperson, but instead continued with the work that was originally hers.

Naturally, there was a lot of discussion about her in the committee, but given Yukinoshita's personality, she probably wouldn't care... Even if she did care, no one would know.

However, Haruno was actually quite happy about this, even happier than when Yukinoshita was the vice-chairperson. Perhaps... in Haruno's heart, Yukinoshita was content as long as she could do what she wanted.

However, Yukinoshita and Kiritani are often compared these days—well, that's only human nature.

However, the school festival is tomorrow, so there's something to look forward to...

Kemono Friends, that's definitely a great anime!

The festival, a blend of youthful energy and leisure, is just around the corner, and there's sure to be plenty of fun.

Yes, whatever the kind of fun.

Oh right, let me reiterate, I, Kirito, am not a person with a perverse sense of humor; this is something I was infected by Yukinoshita and Akane Kousaka.

…………

Jingke is very unhappy right now. She was about to leave work and was planning to go out for some ramen to relax.

But I just got a call from home... saying that my cousin brought a girlfriend home, and I should go over and check it out.

Of course, Jing Ke'ai hung up the phone without even thinking. But soon, an old friend called again. Although the matter was unrelated to the previous ones, it was still... but in the end, it was another blow to Jing Ke'ai.

I'm so tired! What is the meaning of this world's existence?

Jing Ke'ai has a bit of a desire to focus on her cultivation and then smash this world to pieces with a single punch.

I've had enough of my parents' and elders' nagging. My cousins ​​have all found partners, and they call every now and then to make sarcastic remarks...

It doesn't matter, I'm used to it.

But why are guys my age mocking me?

Just because someone is slightly ahead of me and has a goal, does that make them extraordinary?

...It seems like it really is quite remarkable?

If you have a specific goal, your hopes should be a little higher...

Damn it! I want to find my target too, you bastard!

Almost there, I'll be thirty soon. Although I can still proudly say I'm not thirty yet, when I actually turn thirty...

no! no! no!

"Absolutely not!"

"Jing Ke'ai, are you out of your mind?"

"Absolutely not! Must be...wait?"

Jing Ke'ai, who was almost driven to a frenzy, felt something was wrong. It seemed like... someone had touched her just now.

"Jing Ke'ai, what are you doing?"

With his hands raised in front of him to block the incoming fist, Kiritani grimaced at her, "You're using so much force, are you trying to kill me?"

"What?! It's you!"

Jing Ke breathed a sigh of relief, then took out her phone, which had received the email, and opened it to look at the message…

As he gradually increased the force in his fingers, his knuckles grew increasingly pale, leaving Kiritani-kun stunned. It seemed this guy was trying to crush the phone.

Suddenly, Shizuka smiled and patted Kiritani-kun's shoulder with great appreciation, making him even more confused.

P.S.: By the way, Teemo's voice actress in the Japanese server is... Rie Kugimiya!

[NO.376 Offering Blessings to the Lively School Festival (Part 1)]

Today marks the opening ceremony of the three-day school festival.

All the students were dressed in different outfits, and even Kiritani Kazuto was now wearing a more formal waiter's uniform, although the large cardboard box he was carrying looked a little strange.

Furthermore, the girl standing in front of him was now at the maximum level of anger, and Kirigaya-kun had no doubt that she would throw a punch at him next—or rather, use her ponytail slash.

But, so what?

It's just a mere ponytail slash. Even if we have a Starburst Stream Slash now, we can't back down!

"This was already decided a long time ago, and you agreed to it back then. If you suddenly back out now, our class's project can practically be considered a failure!"

Despite Eriri's angry glare, Kiritani remained calm. "Besides, the uniform was made to fit your body shape. Even if someone were willing to swap with you, they wouldn't be able to fit into this outfit."

Eriri glared angrily at Kiritani-kun, "I never agreed to that! You lied to me!"

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."
