The next day, school was normal.
Early in the morning, Shizuka Hiratsuka announced that the school would hold a week-long campus event next week.
Cultural festival and sports day.
First, the cultural festival would last for 3 days, followed by the sports day for 2 days.
Normally, these two events would not be held together.
However, because this semester was nearing its end, the final exams were the week after next, followed by the summer holiday.
Fortunately, the school decided to hold both events together this year.
Naturally, the students applauded this.
Because this meant they wouldn't need to attend classes for the entire week next week.
This was truly happy education.
Of course, not having classes didn't mean everyone had nothing to do.
Firstly, many people had already cast aside their review for the final exams.
But the various preparatory activities for the cultural festival and sports day were unavoidable.
Fortunately, in this regard, the students were all very enthusiastic.
...
Time came to noon.
Lunchtime.
This should have been May's happiest moment of the day at school.
At this time, May turned around and looked at Mochizuki with a melancholic expression.
Because May had become one of the executive committee members.
To hold the event well, each class had to select three executive committee members.
For a thankless job like being an executive committee member.
Everyone's enthusiasm was clearly not that high.
Mochizuki's class also didn't have people who particularly liked to show off or were very willing to contribute.
So everyone suggested deciding by drawing lots.
Fair and just.
Fortunately, Mochizuki and Mahiru dodged a bullet.
May was not so lucky.
Feeling May's expectant gaze, Mochizuki said, "Looking at me won't help, May, I don't have experience as an executive committee member."
The cowlick on May's head drooped, like a withered flower, "No..."
"Useless brother..." May whispered.
"What did you say?" Mochizuki opened his eyes wide.
"Didn't say anything..." May tilted her head.
Mochizuki pursed his lips.
Serves her right.
At this moment, Shiina Mahiru walked over, carrying three bento boxes.
To enjoy the bento prepared by Shiina Mahiru, May had specifically asked Mahiru last night to make one for her as well.
May turned her pleading gaze to Mahiru, "I'm too unlucky, what should I do? Mahiru."
Shiina Mahiru was slightly stunned, but quickly understood what May meant, then comforted her, "Okay, let's eat first, May, I'll help you then."
"Mahiru, you're so kind!"
Having found a savior, May was a little excited and raised her hands to hug Shiina Mahiru.
"Oops, be careful with the bento."
Shiina Mahiru reminded her.
Mochizuki quickly helped steady the bento, if it fell.
The three of them would go hungry for lunch today.
"Sorry, I got too excited," May said awkwardly.
As the bento boxes were opened, the warm aroma of food drifted out.
May's dejected expression from just now quickly vanished.
While eating, the three of them chatted about the cultural festival and sports day events.
Perhaps due to what happened last night, Mochizuki felt that Mahiru was still slightly avoiding him today.
When she saw him in the morning, although she greeted him, her gaze was still a little evasive.
Mochizuki also thought that next time he shouldn't easily tease Shiina Mahiru.
But now, perhaps enough time had passed.
Moreover, with May present, everything returned to normal.
It's worth mentioning that executive committee members don't need to sign up for any sports activities.
The rest of the students each need to sign up for 2-3 sports activities.
Mochizuki said he would likely sign up for long-distance running and the scavenger hunt race.
As for long-distance running, Mochizuki felt there was no problem, it was a good chance to test the effects of his running from the previous period.
As for the scavenger hunt race, Mochizuki simply found it quite interesting.
Shiina Mahiru, on the other hand, said she would likely sign up for sprints and the scavenger hunt race.
Actually, Mahiru has good stamina, long-distance running is not a problem for her, and she is far ahead in physical education class.
But Mahiru doesn't want to sweat too much, so she decided to choose sprints.
However, the registered events and the events ultimately participated in are not necessarily the same.
Some adjustments will be made later.
Otherwise, if everyone signs up for similar events, some events will have no participants.
