Chapter 191, Preparation for the School Festival (3200 words)
In the classroom on the other side.

"Did they tell you about the cultural festival?"

This is after school, and the students in charge of the cultural festival stayed in the classroom, sitting around the second table in the first row. That was Zero's seat, and now there were seven or eight people surrounding him.

But Ling thought it was too noisy and didn't like it, so he left his seat and chose to sit in the first row near the door.

'Door God' position.

Hearing someone talking to him, Zero, who was sitting in a chair in a daze, looked over indifferently, then nodded, and turned back to continue his daze.

Even a blind person could see that she had no interest.

"Okay, let's discuss the class's profit-making projects now!"

An active female classmate took a sip of the chilled red bean rice cake soup on the table and shouted.

"Hey~ Isn't there already a stage play?" someone asked.

The Cultural Festival, also known as the School Festival, is a school program. It is similar to the Sports Festival and is held once a year. It is also entirely up to the students themselves and they can invite people from other schools to visit. It is mainly organized by each class and each club.

"But we have to recover our costs, right?"

asked the active girl.

"You can charge for tickets to a stage play," someone said helplessly, holding his forehead, "as long as there are dedicated ticket sellers."

As he said this, the man glanced at the silent blonde girl at the door and found that she still hadn't expressed anything.

For the ticket seller position, naturally the cuter the girl, the better the effect.

Apparently Romanov's plan to take the position was dashed.

The lively female classmate came to her senses and tried to smooth things over: "Then let's first finalize the cast and backstage staff. We need plenty of time to rehearse both on and off stage."

The female student was flipping through the booklet in her hand. The cover read "Prince, Princess, and Saiyan".

Well, it's very novel.

Can't imagine the plot at all.

"So... has anyone ever had any experience in stage plays, or performances?"

Active female students look around.

The students in the circle all shook their heads exaggeratedly, indicating that they had no such experience. Then everyone looked at Zero who seemed a bit different and out of place.

Zero also shook his head.

She did have a stage play, but only in stage plays.

School festivals have never had anything to do with her.

On the day of the school festival in her first year of high school, she left school early and did not help with the class activities. She then stayed at Utsunomiya's house, cooked dinner, stared at the rain outside the window, and waited for someone to come back.

Yes, Zero still remembers that it rained on the day of the school festival in his first year of high school, but the students still insisted on the event and brought back a lot of umbrellas.

That day, Ling was preparing to go out and drive to pick someone up, but after taking the elevator downstairs, he happened to run into someone who was still soaking wet and holding an umbrella, standing in the lobby on the first floor.

It can be seen that he came back running.

Then he shook the water off his head with an indifferent look, yelling, "I'm so hungry, so hungry, why are you still going upstairs? Just stay still."

Ling was very smart and easily guessed that this person must have not eaten for a day.

It's a wonderful feeling. Someone will work all day long with an empty stomach just because you cooked for them, and then run back as soon as they're done, eagerly waiting for the meal you cooked.

Zero knew that Utsunomiya Shuo did not participate in any club activities because he was always one of the first people to leave school after school.

But it seemed like someone asked him for help, so he agreed to help.

Someone they weren't very familiar with, and they had never even spoken a word to each other... As for why Zero was so sure that Utsunomiya Shuo had never spoken a word to that person before, it was very simple: because the vast majority of people in the class had never spoken to Utsunomiya Shuo.

A goody-goody.

This was Zero's evaluation of Utsunomiya Shuo at the time.

The school festival is very important to those students. It is a way to create beautiful memories and an opportunity for the department to flourish. The club department will create corresponding activities according to its own characteristics. For example, art exhibitions, haunted houses, maid cafes, fried noodles stalls and other projects.

Similar situations often occur.

On that rainy night last year, I heard from Utsunomiya Shuo that there were many overlapping activities that day, especially maid cafes, and the ideas of three clubs in total collided with each other.

Zero's thoughts drifted further and further away, and when he came back to his senses, he heard someone calling his name.

She looked in the direction of the voice, waiting for an answer with a blank expression.

"Classmate Romanov, do you have any special suggestions? We are all a group, so everyone is welcome to express their opinions~" The active female classmate was a little nervous with her, so she deliberately used interjections to ease the tension.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "What?"

She hadn't listened at all.

This was impolite behavior, but beautiful girls have privileges everywhere. What’s more, this beautiful girl actually spoke, which was rare!!!

"For the cast, I suggest using Super Saiyan 1 as the boss. Miyamoto suggested a gorilla transformation, but that would be a waste of suits! As for Mori, she said she wanted to add some frog prince elements, so that the Saiyan would only transform after being kissed by the princess..."

"It's impossible to become a Super Saiyan! There's no glare! I won't acknowledge a Super Saiyan without glare!"

"It's just Super One. It can be regarded as the state after the glare has dissipated!"

"I don't understand what you are discussing. I think the transformation after the kiss is interesting..."

They all rushed to express their own views.

After listening to the introductions of several people, Ling thought for a moment and said, "Maid."

"what?"

"What??"

The crowd fell silent, and everyone spoke in unison, suspecting that they had heard wrongly.

"Find someone to be a maid and kidnap the princess." Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at the people around her who were paying attention to her, without any emotion in her eyes.

The maid kidnapped the princess?

This outrageous idea is worse than kissing a Saiyan.

But who can blame the person who came up with this idea? It's the "Ice Queen" who never speaks.

"Sure!" Someone immediately slammed the table and agreed, "The stage play doesn't stipulate that maids can't kidnap the princess, so it's OK."

Then the quick-witted person immediately responded: "And there's a sense of contrast! This idea is great! It's as creative as someone filling out someone else's name on their college admissions application!"

Zero nodded calmly.

This was considered as recognition by everyone. "Should we prepare a traditional British maid outfit for Utsunomiya? Or would a 2D style be better?"

Some people told jokes and then everyone laughed.

Everyone knows that the "invisible person" in the class is the only person who has any contact with Romanov and can talk to him. Now that Romanov rarely talks to them, of course he has to use Utsunomiya's matter as an icebreaker to start the conversation~
"That's a bit too much~" A girl covered her mouth and laughed.

"Just curious." The man said with a smile, with no ill intentions.

And then out of nowhere.

Zero pointed at the seat below him expressionlessly, and said without changing his tone, "A traditional maid outfit, right? And who will do his makeup? If there's no other solution, I can fix it, but it may affect the effect of your makeup."

That's what she said.

Including the classmates who were joking, the female classmates who were covering their hands while laughing, the lively female classmates... everyone seemed to be strangled by the throat, and all their eyes were on her.

A moment of silence.

The wind blew in from the window, creating ripples on the surface of the red bean rice cake soup.

"Are you serious?" someone asked.

The others also looked at Ling with burning eyes, but no one said anything. Apparently someone had already said what they wanted to say.

Zero was silent for a moment: "I was joking too."

You are obviously serious!!!
Utsunomiya Shuo-san must have pissed you off recently!!!

Stop lying!!!

"Hey, the idea of ​​the kiss Saiyan transformation just now is good, but does he have to transform into Super Saiyan?" A student quickly changed the subject rationally.

……

I waited until I finally saw Her Royal Highness the Princess coming out of the teaching building, then followed her on foot to get the car, and then followed the Aston Martin on the road.

The car window near the road slowly lowered, and a can of black and red ice cola was thrown out.

The three-no girl was not dissuaded by the heat outside and did not close the car window, which remained open.

She controlled the steering wheel with one hand, rested her other elbow on the window sill, supported her small cheek with her hand, and kept looking at Utsunomiya Shuo who was walking sideways.

She tucked her silky light golden hair behind her ear, revealing a single azure eye that looked towards Zhuo, gleaming with light.

The white clouds in the sky are still moving slowly.

"What's the school festival for?" she asked.

"I don't know." With a "whoosh", Utsunomiya Shuo opened the can of Coke and shook his head.

"Exercise."

"why."

"No reason."

"That's so hurtful." There was no expression on Utsunomiya Shuo's face.

"Think about how to play the role of a maid and kidnap the princess." Zero said in a flat tone.

"what?"

"..."

"Say, this is a joke, right?"

"do not know……"

Utsunomiya Zhuo was paralyzed and stopped.

The Aston Martin was also braking at the side of the road, but because it was driving at a snail's pace, there was no car following behind, so there was no need to worry about a traffic accident.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Utsunomiya Shuo still had no intention of moving, Ling sighed, "Think about it, it's already signed."

Zhuo: "..." Your signature also counts? ! Did those people's consciences get eaten by dogs? ? Who did I help in the rain last year? !
How can it be repaired——

White clouds were floating in the sky and the wind was blowing gently, ruffling the hair on the shoulders of the girl in the car.

after awhile.

"I'm going to confess something to you." Utsunomiya Shuo looked up at the azure sky.

"explain."

Ling turned the steering wheel. The car was already stopped, so wasn't he afraid of the tires wearing out?

"Su Enxi came to see me some time ago." Utsunomiya Zhuo raised his head.

"What to do." Zero looked straight ahead.

"Seduction."

"Congratulations."

"I didn't agree." Utsunomiya Shuo explained.

"It's a shame," Zero said without emotion, "This should be the first time Potato Chips has seduced me since I grew up."

Then there was silence for a while.

"I apologize to you too." Zero said suddenly.

"What?" Zhuo looked at her.

"In the past few days, I have killed you in my heart about forty-three times," Ling held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his head to look at him, and said in a flat tone: "Forty-two times, I used very cruel methods."

Very precise numbers, it looks like someone has really thought about it carefully.

"…Thank you for showing mercy that time."

"You are welcome."

"So can we discuss the maid matter again?" Zhuo brought up the matter.

Ling thought about it silently, and then... the roar of Aston Martin sounded, and the silver-gray supercar was instantly ejected.

Utsunomiya Shuo took a mouthful of exhaust fumes.

“…It seems that it is not possible.”

　I've started to make up for the lost time...because if I don't this month will be gone.
