Chapter 132: If you can’t beat them, join them
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed and the day of the sports festival finally arrived.
Saturday.
The weather is cloudy.
But there was no sign of rain, it was cool and not stuffy, very comfortable, it can be said that it was a blessing from God, very suitable for the sports festival.
"Phew - as expected of her, she has completed the task within a week."
Kiritani Ren rested his head on his hands, leaning against the fence of the playground, looking at the six posters hanging from the teaching building in the distance.
The first one is the work of Group A.
It is also the only one of the six paintings completed by the boy with a crew cut.
The background is black, and there is a huge red moon in the sky. Saber with golden hair stands on the ground with the Sword of Promised Victory in both hands, looking cute yet majestic.
Very handsome.
But Zhuo prefers the darker version.
Last year, in January 2006, "Fate/stay night" was released and became a huge hit! Saber's popularity was naturally one of the highest among them.
"It symbolizes bravery, kindness, and perseverance. It's pretty standard, right?"
Kiritani Jin commented.
The second poster is the work of Group B.
Completed from zero.
The screen showed a huge black-haired girl wearing a blue and white school uniform skirt. She tilted her head, closed one eye and winked, smiling cheerfully.
She is also the heroine of one of the most popular anime last year, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", Haruhi Suzumiya.
That is, Xia Mi’s classmate, who disagreed with the role that Xia Mi cosplayed.
It is worth mentioning that Suzumiya Haruhi was too active and her skirt was blown in the wind, so her white panties could be seen under her skirt.
Especially after being magnified many times.
The visual effect is super obvious.
"Is this appropriate?" Jin Kiritani looked at the painting speechlessly.
I don't know where he is looking.
"You understand people's hearts very well." Utsunomiya Shuo gave his approval... because this was their class's work.
Blatantly smuggling contraband.
Fortunately, the school did not pursue the matter and they took an indifferent attitude towards it.
The sports festival is meant to be a time for students to relax, and as long as the students are united and have fun, then it has achieved its purpose.
Then comes the third painting.
This time, two characters finally appeared in the painting—a boy with orange hair is kissing a short-haired girl with purple hair and a gray training suit.
Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata from Naruto.
By the way, "Naruto" began serialization in 02.
It has been a long time.
...Of course, not as long as "Detective Dee".
Kiritani Jin looked at the painting and fell silent again... If he remembered correctly, the themes of "Naruto" were mostly about passion and friendship (one could even say gay love). As for love, there was very little of it, and most of it came from the readers' own imagination.
"What's the main theme of it?" said Kiritani Jin with a blank expression, "Is it to say that in sports festivals, love comes first and competition comes second?"
"Ren." The person involved, Utsunomiya Shuo, was quite satisfied with the painting, but it was a pity that Hinata in the painting did not have long hair and a giant [beep——].
"what?"
"Being happy comes first, and everything else comes second."
"..." After a moment of silence, Kiritani Ren nodded, "That's right."
Looking at the posters one after another, they all feature beautiful girls.
Very understanding of human nature.
Below the poster, students from the first, second, and third grades are all divided into groups and wearing the same team uniform... although it's only one T-shirt.
They lined up in six rectangular formations, talking and laughing among themselves. Fortunately, no one left the line without permission, so there was order in the chaos... I guess.
After all, it is just an activity organized spontaneously by students, so the requirements cannot be so strict.
Being happy is the most important thing.
At the front was a high platform used for speeches, where the principal delivered his long speech.
Soon it would be the student representative's turn to give a speech as the opening ceremony of the sports festival. Soon, the speakers hanging on the lamp posts around made a "zilazila" noise, and then the sound of clearing throats could be heard.
Soundcheck in progress.
In good condition and ready for exit.
"Aren't we going over there?" Kiritani Ren looked at Zhuo curiously.
Utsunomiya Shuo stood there without moving.
"Members of the Sports Committee do not have to participate in the sports meet." Utsunomiya Shuo said, looking in the direction of the teaching building.
"I know, I'm also a member of the committee. Don't I have to go and give a speech?" said Kiritani Jin.
“It’s about to start.”
"so?"
“Just stand here.”
After that, the sound from the speakers quieted down.
This is the start signal, indicating that the sound check is over and the show is about to officially begin.
The students in the audience also realized this and quieted down in a short time.
Of course it's not because they have strict military discipline, but...
The petite girl with long blond hair down to her waist, wearing a sportswear, walked step by step to the microphone in the center of the stage. She slowly took the microphone off the stand...
There was silence in the audience, with countless eyes fixed on her in unison.
The microphone was taken off, the girl looked up, her cold face expressionless.
"The 64th Tokyo High School Sports Festival begins."
The girl bowed her head as a farewell.
Then he slowly put the microphone back on the stand and walked back to the stage...
The audience remained silent.
It was also quite quiet on this side of the playground fence.
After a long while, Tong Gu Ren turned his head, looked at Zhuo, and asked, "Is this the end?"
Utsunomiya Zhuo thought about it and nodded: "It should be."
“…This is too careless.” Kiritani Jin complained.
To say that it was sloppy is already an understatement; this was simply a perfunctory approach!
No wonder Ling said before that there was no problem with the speech. So you only have one sentence?
Good for you.
Thinking this in his heart, Zhuo said, "It's OK."
……
On the other side of the playground, as everyone confirmed that Romanov had no intention of coming back after leaving the stage, they finally confirmed that she was really gone, and her opening remarks were only a matter of one sentence.
A mess.
Unfortunately, the person involved is no longer there.
After a while of chaos, under the organization of the team leaders, each team leader started to boost morale at the top of his voice. However, there was no microphone and it was empty outside, so it was quite difficult.
After a while, the speeches ended and the sports festival was officially announced to begin.
They led their respective teams to the playground.
The team was moving in a disorganized manner.
Like the Japanese invaders entering the village... Sorry, this word "like" may not be necessary.
……
The first game is tug-of-war, which is the event that can be finished in the shortest time and can serve as a warm-up.
Utsunomiya Shuo left the fence with his back, brushed off the dust behind him, and walked towards that direction.
But after walking a few steps, Kiritani Jin grabbed him and asked, "The school gate is in the other direction."
Utsunomiya Shuo turned to look at him: "I'm not going home, I want to participate in the competition."
"what?"
"If you can't beat them, join them. Otherwise, you will regret it."
