Everyone in the Yuri Academy had no cla.s.ses before the school festival. They would discuss, decorate and think about ideas in cla.s.s….

Yuu was sitting alone in the pavilion in the secret garden, admiring the flowers and trees around him.

“Moris.h.i.+ta, is it true?” The sudden appearance of Enomoto made Yuu jump in fright.

“What do you mean?” Yuu was sweating.

“That you're Takamaru's man!” Enomoto exclaimed excitedly.

“Enomoto, please calm down.” 

“How am I supposed to calm down? Do you know that I professed my feelings to Takamaru?” He confidently flipped his hair.

“Mhmm, I know.”

Yuu looked at him and said, “Didn't you get rejected?” That sentence viciously pierced Enomoto in the heart.

“Ah, I'm sorry…” Yuu apologized to Enomoto who squatted, drawing circles on the ground.

“Why are you guys still here?” Akino yelled, “Emergency meeting!” She grabbed Yuu and Enomoto by the ear and walked back to their cla.s.sroom.

“Ah, ah, ah, it hurts, Akino!!” They both cried at the same time.

Inside, the cla.s.s had gathered around a desk.

“What is it?” Enomoto asked, but no one answered him. Yuu walked over and saw a piece of paper that read:

To the students of Cla.s.s X, we would like to have a compet.i.tion with you. We will use our own theme to attract guests during the cultural festival. You can decide what theme you would like and we'll see you there.

“Hey, what do we do now?” Us.h.i.+'s face was bursting with veins.

“It looks like we're… finished.” Three black lines¹ appeared on Yukisaku's face.

“Hehe, cla.s.s, let's also prepare for the cultural festival.” At this moment, Mr. Kawamata said, “Can you all be a little less lifeless?” He was speaking to the students who all had black lines² on their foreheads, aside from Yuu.

“Oh, I just received news that the Student Union is competing with us on the theme of food,” said Akino. Everyone else hadn't yet responded.

Thud!

After a while, Yuu suddenly struck the desk and stood up. “Let's get ready as well!"

"…" Everyone looked at him.

“Then what shall we do?” asked Haruyama.

“Since the theme is food, let's get Us.h.i.+ to handle the cooking!” suggested Yuu.

“Mmm, I'm fine with that.” Us.h.i.+ agreed.

“Next are the waiters.” Yukisaku listed the duties.

“I recommend Yuu and Akamatsu. After all, they have experience. Let's also get a few more people,” said Akino.
