Chapitre 80: Preparations for Sports Day

Today's Sports Festival Committee meeting was focused on the creation of the entry gate, as planned. Apparently, the upperclassmen had already drawn up the blueprints, so all we had to do was follow the plans and build it.

"Well then, shall we get started, Akatani? Or should I call you 'The Chosen One' instead?"

Still, responding to his dramatic voice in front of everyone was painfully embarrassing. Just looking at him made me feel exhausted—he was always wearing that lab coat, and it made him stick out like a sore thumb. It was honestly tough to be associated with him in front of so many people.
