Chapter 147: Bathroom Incidents in Romantic Comedies (1)

The time has come to a new week, Monday, May 6th.

After the audition was successful, Sakurai Shio applied to the school and joined the executive committee.

Moreover, she also called on some alumni who had graduated in the past.

As a result, the average workload of each person on the Executive Committee was slightly reduced, but everyone took turns to rest, which was like a shift model.

However, as the number of groups participating in the cultural festival increased, the number of places that the publicity team had to contact increased, the budget had to be recalculated, and there was a lot of other heavy work, and the burden on each group began to become unbalanced.

The work of the health care team and the record-keeping team is mainly concentrated during the cultural festival, so it doesn't matter if a few people are missing.

However, teams such as personnel coordination, external publicity, and accounting review have already sounded the alarm for shortage of staff.

The three groups that were short of staff had to be temporarily supported by other departments.

The main force responsible for support is naturally the cadres of the Student Union.

The help of the Student Union is undoubtedly a great boost, but the work is still piling up and cannot be completed.

Because Shimizu Miyabi was in charge of recording chores, he suddenly had a lot of miscellaneous tasks. I had heard that this group had very little work before...

"Excuse me...can you help me?"

In the meeting room, the leader of the record-keeping group came to see Qingshui Jian.

Every time he heard someone ask, “Can you help me with this?”, Shimizu Mi felt strongly that the favor couldn’t just take “a moment”.

Qingshuijian frowned as he looked at the pile of work on the table. It was far beyond his expectations... Why did he suddenly have the illusion of becoming a salaryman?

What's worse is that everyone misunderstands the meaning of recording the "chores" of the chores group, and even if the work does not belong to chores, it is still pushed to the chores group.

If he had known this, Qingshui Jian should have asked for leave and disappeared earlier today.

I glanced at the table next to me and saw Amamiya Iori tapping away on her laptop, seemingly busy purchasing ingredients for the store's opening on the day of the cultural festival.

Her previous proposal to open a dessert shop during this cultural festival was passed with almost no dissenting votes in the class.

However, heavy work also comes with it.

First of all, the quantity of ingredients needs to be carefully calculated to ensure that there is an adequate supply of desserts on the day of the cultural festival while avoiding waste caused by excessive leftovers.

In addition, Amemiya Iori also needs to purchase a batch of new cooking utensils for the class to ensure the smooth progress of dessert making.

Fortunately, we won first place in the sports meet, so the funds allocated are sufficient to support these purchasing needs.

"Iori, how is your external publicity work going?"

Compared to Shimizu Mi, who only needs to take photos and record the event on the day, Amamiya Iori and Sakurai Haruka, who are in charge of the promotional activities, should have a much heavier workload.

In addition, the work of the class's cultural festival has also been piled on her shoulders, and Shimizu is a little worried that she won't be able to handle it.

However, Amamiya Iori waved his hand with a relaxed look.

"Dear, this is the Internet age. As long as we make the promotional content of the school cultural festival into a short video and post it on the Internet, the effect will be much better than promoting it in person."

Although what he said makes sense, but——

“Can you also edit and produce videos?”

"Is there anything wrong?"

Amamiya Iori tilted his head in confusion.

Rather, Shimizu Mi had never heard that Amemiya Iori also had this skill.

Out of curiosity, Shimizu asked her to show him the promotional video.

After watching it, I found that the video made by Amamiya Iori was just a short video of about two minutes, but she used her unique perspective and delicate brushstrokes to vividly show the beauty and cultural characteristics of our school.

The video also presents the wonderful moments of the cultural festival activities held by previous seniors.

The entire video is cleverly conceived and well-produced, whether it is the smoothness of the picture, the coordination of the sound effects, or the handling of details everywhere, Qingshui Jian dare not say that it is top-notch, but at least it can be regarded as first-class.

I never thought that Amamiya Iori actually had such a skill.

Qing Shuijian turned around and glanced at the chores that needed to be sorted out on his desk. He had just been asked to help write the minutes of the previous meeting.

But who remembers what everyone said at last week’s meeting?
Therefore, half of the meeting minutes were made up by Shimizu himself, and the other half were vague phrases such as "being processed" and "the specific plan will be adjusted depending on the situation".

After casually writing a record, Shimizu Mi took a sip of the tea that Amemiya Iori had just brewed.

Almost at the same time, he heard someone sigh deeply.

Shimizu looked up and saw Sakurai Haruka sitting opposite her with her eyes closed and pressing her temples, looking like she had a headache.

The reason for her headache was actually right in front of her.

Sakurai Shio was sitting next to her, twirling a pen while happily chatting with the student council members.

Sakurai Shio gathered a group of graduated alumni to form a band and prepare to perform at the cultural festival.

At the same time, she would show up at school from time to time under the pretext of practice, and would also show up at the Cultural Festival Executive Committee, as if she had already treated this place as her own territory.

Not only that, Sakurai Shio has also completely integrated into the environment here.

"Junior, I want some tea too~"

Sakurai Shio ignored everyone else and spoke to Shimizumi in a coquettish accent.

Who is the younger sister between these two?
"I think the 'miscellaneous tasks' in 'recording miscellaneous tasks' should not mean doing odd jobs..."

Shimizu Mi had little confidence because there was really not much work to do except for the day of the cultural festival when recording chores.

Under Sakurai Shio's smiling gaze, Shimizu Ken had no choice but to get up and pour her a cup of tea.

As the tea in the teapot gurgled into the cup, Sakurai Haruka gently put down her ballpoint pen.

"Sister, if you are going to interfere with our work, please go back."

Sakurai Haruka's tone and actions were very calm, which made her look more powerful.

But unfortunately, this trick only works for people other than Sakurai Shio.

After hearing what Sakurai Haruka said, she had no reaction at all.

"Don't be so heartless, Haruka. I'm just helping you."

"No need, go back quickly."

Unfortunately, Sakurai Shio ignored Sakurai Haruka's order, sipped the tea in the cup, and picked up a piece of information.

"Well... I'll come and help out a little as a return gift for this cup of tea."

"Ah! Hey! How come you--"

Before Haruka Sakurai could stop her, Shio Sakurai picked up the computer and started typing away, then made notes with a red pen. In less than two minutes, when she was done, she returned the paper to Haruka Sakurai.

"Well, the income and expenditure of these places are not consistent."

"…I, I was planning to check it myself later."

Sakurai Haruka narrowed her eyes in displeasure, but still took the paper obediently.

Because the cultural festival was jointly organized by two schools, it was originally under the jurisdiction of the accounting review team. The work of financial accounts for this event also increased exponentially, so there was a shortage of staff.

Amamiya Iori posted videos on the Internet and almost completed the promotional work of the group by herself, so Sakurai Haruka and other members took time out of their spare time to help other groups.

Unfortunately, she seems to be not good at anything related to mathematics. "Senior, you are really capable, worthy of being the former student council president."

Several junior high school girls smiled and looked at Sakurai Shio with admiration, creating a warm feeling.

Even Qing Shui, who was here, felt the warmth and his heart became warm.

"Nothing, I'm used to this kind of work. Let's finish the other things quickly!"

Sakurai Shio said this and began to process the documents at hand.

This time, Sakurai Haruka didn't specifically stop her, but she still pursed her lips unhappily and continued with the work at hand with a stern face.

At this time, someone slowly approached Sakurai Haruka.

"Sakurai, have you copied the funding application forms for each class for the cultural festival?"

The person approaching her was none other than Miura Subaru, the student council president of Mahita High School, who was co-hosting the cultural festival with them.

Subaru Miura walked towards Haruka Sakurai and explained his purpose to her.

"It's on the right, take it yourself."

Sakurai Haruka didn't stop drawing circles on the paper and answered Miura Subaru directly.

That's definitely a zero-point attitude, but since it's Sakurai Haruka, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Subaru Miura should have understood this very well, so he simply said "thank you" to her and took the form directly from the table.

However, as the other party was the student council president of his school, Sakurai Haruka's cold attitude as if she didn't even look at him inevitably attracted whispers from others in the meeting room.

After getting the application form, Subaru Miura's mission should have been completed, but for some reason, he still stayed here and even approached Shimizu.

"…Is the workload okay? Do you need me to find someone to help you?"

"Need not."

Shimizu was confused by Miura Subaru's sudden concern, but he decisively rejected him.

Although the workload increased a bit, it was still completed within the deadline.

"That's it..."

Subaru Miura brushed his hair back, wondering what he was thinking about.

"……What's your business?"

Shimizu asked, and Miura Subaru smiled brightly and answered:

"Nothing, I'm reviewing the documents and seeing if there's anything I've missed."

If that's the case, then why did you come all the way here?
Qingshui was still wondering one second ago, but the next second he thought that maybe people like him had this habit.

For some unknown reason, some people like to get together no matter what, and they must get closer when they see a familiar face.

Just imagine them as a group of puppies and it will seem like no big deal if they stay nearby.

During this period, other people entered the meeting room one after another.

In addition to those who are interested in registering to perform at the cultural festival, classes and clubs must also go through the application process to participate.

Because the application deadline is not far away, there are a lot of people coming today.

Unfortunately, the executive committee was short of staff at this time, and there was chaos and confusion in front of each application counter.

Some of them didn't know which counter they should go to. A girl who looked like a first-year student stood there at a loss. As a last resort, she had to come here to ask... She found Subaru Miura.

"Excuse me...the performance group wants to..."

"If you want to submit an application for a group performance, go to that counter."

Subaru Miura's response was smooth and natural, as expected of him being the student council president at Mahita High School.

Seeing this, others also came to him to ask questions.

"I don't know how to fill out the application form, can you teach me?"

"Sure, if you don't mind."

How to fill in the application form?
This kind of question sounds low-level. It is obvious that this girl asked the question just to get close to Subaru Miura.

Subaru Miura patiently taught her how to fill out the application form, and a long line formed behind him.

Although it was a bit noisy, Qingshui Jian didn't think it mattered. As long as he didn't push such troublesome matters to him, it would be fine.

After all, work is something that will never be reduced no matter how much you do.

……

All preparations for the cultural festival are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is Wednesday, two days later, the early morning of the cultural festival.

When Qing Shuijian got up and prepared to wash his face, he opened the door of the bathroom, and what greeted him was——

Reina Shimizu is naked for some reason.

The fair skin that is usually not shown to anyone is exposed.

Perhaps she thought she was the only one present and had no intention of hiding it.

At her feet was a pair of pink underwear that she had just changed into, and it was a cute style with a bow.

Reina Shimizu has a petite figure, but her hands and feet are exceptionally slender, and her skin is a smooth peach color. Fortunately, the bath towel she is wearing manages to cover the key parts.

Reina Shimizu usually wears school uniforms or simple loose clothes, so it is not obvious, but her figure is unexpectedly hot, especially the slightly raised curve of her hips.

Although her chest is not as plump as Amamiya Iori's, considering that she is still young, she actually has a lot of room for growth in the future.

While Shimizu Mi was thinking about these things one by one, Shimizu Reina noticed the gaze coming from outside the door.

For a moment, Shimizu Reina looked confused, but when she saw Shimizu Ken looking directly at her, her face immediately turned red.

"I'm sorry Reina, I didn't know you were here..."

After all, this is Shimizumi's home. Since he has no father, he has always lived here with his mother Hoshino Akiko.

And Hoshino Akiko has been working overtime recently and is still sleeping soundly in bed, so Shimizu must be the only one at home in the morning. He never expected that Shimizu Rena would visit him suddenly.

"Reina, why are you in my house?"

"Brother, I sent you a text message last night."

"Text message?"

"My parents went back to their hometown in Fukuoka, but something happened at home and they can't come back for the time being, so they asked me to stay at your house for a few days..."

“…Is that true?”

So it seems that Shimizu didn't check his cell phone messages yesterday because he was dealing with some important matters.

Being looked at so nakedly by Shimizu Ken, Shimizu Reina shyly lifted up the bath towel, trying to cover the important parts of her chest, but the length of the bath towel was limited, so the part covered below would naturally be shortened.

It was almost at the edge of danger, and the Peach Blossom Land was looming in front of Qing Shuijian, but the girl was still unaware...
