Kapitel 27: Support and Feelings

[115 COPIES REMAINING]

Last day of the Inari Okami High School Cultural Festival, we only little copies left we decided to go and enjoy the festival after we sell everything.

After what happened yesterday, Kanna is still a little bit traumatized and said that she can manage but I decided to keep her and her friends beside me this time., we decided to keep those things to ourselves, the school director addressed the students and guests about what happened, and that everything is resolved.

Later knowing that the person wasn't a local townspeople everyone is talking about extracurricular security measures for the next years to pass.

"So that's it, another issue for the school and the town itself, hey Yasu, what's your father's plan about this matter?"

"I talked to him about it last night, he said he's coming to visit and check Kanna also to meet with your father and the school director."

"I see, I can't believe your father is a calm man, with you getting involved in a lot of trouble, nor are we your friends being a troublesome bunch."

"He doesn't bother about us, it is all because we are in the phase of being in youth as he always says. Let's just not get into real life-threatening trouble that's all."

As the day moves forward, our copies are close to getting sold out. So I moved away from the window, ended my break, and back towards my seat, yawning as I began waiting for visitors again. Amidst my yawning, I could feel my jaw aching.

Yasuyuki's father arrived greeting us casually,

"Heyo! Good afternoon, Kenji, Kanna-chan, Yasu, everyone. How are sales going? By the way congratulations on getting serialization."

"Oh, Hirohito-jisan, pretty good, thank you, how's the city hall?" I stood up and grabbed his things.

"HAHAHA, well, what can I say, perhaps it's just the same as usual?"

The townspeople can't even believe that their mayor is casual as they say he is, and his administration is quite respectable people.

He added, "I shall wait with the school director and your father here since we decided to talk this one with all of the members of the mangaka club." He looked around to see everyone's faces.

"Not everyone is here, I'll call their attention back to the club room," I replied but my attention was with the guests.

I called everyone's attention back to the clubroom and the discussion started.

"Shall we start our discussion on the matters?" Mayor Hirohito initiated the conversation,

Kozue prepared the snacks and tea for our meeting.

The club room is overwhelmed with such cold pressure as we all listened and the adults, share each other's opinions.

"Alright, Sir, first of all, thank you for coming over to discuss the issue, despite your busy schedule." Mr. Hitoshi seems like his first time having to meet the mayor.

"It's a pleasure to meet the new school director, no need to be polite, anyway, Masao have you talked with your daughter, she needs your support the most here."

"Yes, my wife and I already discussed this, but as you already know Kanna's a bit of a strong child, remember back when we had a little celebration at your place on how spunky she was and even decided to question your authenticity. HAHAHAHA."

"HAHAHAHA, indeed, I was in shocked getting questioned by a child. Well, she's present that proves her strong will."

They both laughed it out, Mayor Hirohito then added "I want to know the school's plans for this incident not to happen again."

"As I mentioned with the school festival committee and the student council, all agreed to have some help with the authorities to give us a hand with the security measures in the school campus." Mr. Hitoshi replied and handed the meeting notes.

"Perhaps, may work out, I'll ask the chief of police to station at least two or three police officers inside the campus. Not just during the festival but all year round because we can't assume that dangers only happens during the cultural festivals."

"That would be a great help indeed, student safety is our first priority. I'll also talk with the elementary branch of the school for the heads up."

"Alright, I appreciate our time here, Kenji can I have all the remaining copies of the art book, I'll buy it and give it away to my administration."

"Are you serious? That's a great help! Thank you so much."

After an hour-long of discussion, all our copies are sold and so we began to enjoy the festival. Join some challenges, watch Yasuyuki's basketball.

"Go! Yasu! Good luck!" Kozue cheered her lungs out for Yasu.

Yasuyuki scores a basket, making our school take the lead by six points.

"Wooo! Nice Kill! Yasuyuki!"

"Let's go, Foxes, Let's go!"

Our cheering squad is awesome and all of them are a bunch of beautiful ladies. As well as our School Ensemble Club is a group of talented students.

With a piece of beautiful music from the Ensemble Club and the loud cheers from the cheering squad. Our players are hyped and giving a lot of pressure on the visiting school team.

"Okamura for threeeeee! And he scores!"

The announcer dictates every player's movements along with the commentator explaining every step as this game is broadcast on the local television.

"Let's go Date Sci, Let's go!"

Obviously, the visitor wouldn't just sit and watch their side overwhelmed by our pressure. It is a battle of support and cheers!

The basketball match has come to a close with our school taking the win by two points. But that was fun and a competitive match.

"Nice kill, Yasuyuki!"

"HAHAHA! Thank you, everyone, for watching."

"Kozue will surely give you a reward, later," Hanako said in a teasing tone which sends Yasuyuki's face to go red like a beet.

"Oy, don't get his hopes up! His fetishes might go all over the place!" I jokingly commented.

Everyone laughed,

"Hmm, maybe I will or maybe I won't" Kozue teased Yasu even further.

"Really, now! Kenji is getting ahead of me with Fumi, look they're not afraid of holding hands in public!"

"Ho, are you jealous?" I replied.

Everyone laughed at Yasuyuki as he tries desperately to convince Kozue to hold his hands.

Little did I know that one of the girls have been holding on to a secret that she can't hold on to any longer. Feelings that might be the reason leading to hurting herself and our friendship.

"Hey, Nami, you seemed spaced out, anything wrong?"

"Nothing..just happy to see us sharing these fun memories together."

"Right, my life has never been this fun before, it's just me and Yasu being together all our childhood, but ever since you guys came along, the whole world is different from me now."

"It's the same for me, but most importantly-" before Nami could finish her sentence, Nagi stepped in.

"Hey, hey, hey! I challenge every one of you to defeat me in all the games available at the cultural festival."

"Okay, I'll take that challenge!"

"Me too!"

"I'll take you on!"

I had originally wanted to just keep a low profile. But these guys are on a different level so I have no choice just to go on with it.

I do enjoy their company so there is nothing wrong with it. I know everyone is excited to continue our first official serialized manga at SHOKUNEN JADE.

"Everyone, let's conquer those charts and become number one in the best manga!" I proudly stated my words

Taking a deep breath, I put on a smile and said, "Let's go!"
