18.The unknown word amazing.

The next day came and it was time to prepare for the cultural festival.

I was facing my classmates from the podium to discuss with each of the preparation teams for the cultural festival.

Well, then, lets get this meeting started. The agenda today is about the large number of requests and consultations that were poured out by everyone at once yesterday.

 What do you want me to do with that many demands at once? Are you all idiots? The cool-faced Kazamihara nonchalantly announces the start of the meeting.

Then

Hey, what happened to that wood I requested yesterday? Can I go buy some now?

The floor decoration team needs to cover a large area, so we need to work fast! Im sorry, but I need permission to buy more materials as soon as possible!

Hey, wait! The wall decorating team doesnt have much time either!

Im having so much fun coming up with variations of Takoyaki! Hey, I can add more to the menu, right?

Im really sorry! Im really looking forward to going around with my girlfriend at the cultural festival! Please help me adjust my shift!

As if it was a reenactment of yesterday, an avalanche of self-indulgent requests came flooding in.

(I told you not to ask all at once.! What am I, Prince Shotoku?)

(However, you cant ignore the fact that the demands themselves are all serious and as a result, cant simply dismiss them.)

Yeah, I can see that theyre really motivated to work on it, and thats why theyre asking for all these things in order to make it a good festival.

The two of us on the podium whispered to each other as there was too much noise to understand what anyone was saying if we didnt.

Yes, I think the enthusiasm is whats making everyone impatient alongside the lack of time. The fact that we spent too much time deciding what to do was really painful.

No, so dont say it like its someone elses problem

I understand that Kazamihara feels bad about the incident, but she seems to have a much more fast-paced personality than I imagined, so its hard to read her thoughts.

So what do we do now? Do you want to distribute number cards like the counters at the government offices?

There was already a lot of commotion in the classroom, and I was tempted to ask them to line up in an orderly fashion.

But then again, I already heard their demands yesterday.

No, its fine. Ive got all the answers ready for you.

Yes, ?

Everyone please be quiet for a moment! I will answer all the requests and inquiries you made yesterday, in order!

My brain was exhausted from having to come up with individual solutions to a large number of requests, but I managed to raise my voice to keep my spirits up.

I thought Id never have to deal with this kind of overtime fatigue in this life!

And before you go, Noroda , since you dont seem to be doing anything right now, I need you to be my photographer.

What? Why do I have to be?

Noroda was about to complain, but was silenced by the cold stares from his classmates.

It was a natural reaction to someone who was trying to skip out on such a busy schedule of the class.

The photos we take are later posted in the classroom and handed out to everyone. If you dont take enough pictures or if theyre all out of focus, people will boo you like crazy. Just make sure you do it right, okay?

Gu you shit, I got it !

Noroda nodded grudgingly as I assigned him a task he couldnt skip out on.

Its hard to have the whole class staring at you like youre trash.

Okay, that takes care of the prerequisite problem.

Ill get straight to the point. First of all, we had a lot of requests for classroom decorations, so we put some extra money in the budget. But basically, we are using a money-saving policy! Weve asked the student council to get materials for us such as tablecloths, plywood and other materials for classroom decoration, and art materials that we bought at last years school festival. Well use those and ask for more if needed!

I took a breath and continued.

If you want to make the walls look like wood grain, you can use the schools large format printer to make a simple wallpaper! The fans, bamboo screens, and Japanese cushions that are requested as decorative accessories can all be purchased at 100-yen stores.

What comes to mind is the recollection of setting up an event venue when I was working as a company slave.

My company doesnt give any money at all, but they say, Get us a sign in front of the venue! Something flashy, eye-catching, and nice! There s nothing flashy about the event booth! Make it a little more spring-like! They often made such unreasonable demands on me.

Each time, I tearfully set up and decorated the site with 100-yen materials and accessories, amateur balloon art and origami.

And since I couldnt get the big wood Akasaki wanted, you can look for free scrap wood by yourself by calling around to woodworking shops and home centers. You can also use a wood stapler to join smaller pieces of wood together!

Oh! Making your own from scrap wood sounds interesting!

Okay, I wasnt sure if Akasaki would be convinced by this, but it seems to have caught his interest. Okay, next! Lets go, go, go!

We can only add one type of takoyaki to the menu! But the cost of materials for prototyping would be ridiculous, so please limit the number of candidates to two or three! Hold a tasting contest with the cooking team and make a final decision by the day after tomorrow, and after that, absolutely no changes! Oh, and increase the variety of juice

In addition, we do not necessarily allow everything to pass, but we do reject any unreasonable requests.

If I were to grant everyones demands, there would be no end to it.

If you have any plans for club activities or anything, please report to Kazamihara-san or me by tomorrow after school! Ill make a shift list in Excel to make sure nothing gets left out! Basically, there should be no sudden schedule changes!

Dont ever make a sudden schedule change in the middle of the shift!

Theres no greater scheduler-killer than a sudden shift change, you know!

Ive also made a store systematic manual! It includes a diagram of the classroom layout, a system for meal tickets and payment, a recipe for takoyaki, the order-taking process, how to put up receipts, and much more! If you have any problems, please refer to this manual first!

hmm?

After I finished my explanation, I looked around the classroom and saw that my classmates, who had been so noisy, were all looking at me as if they were taken aback.

They looked shocked, and their eyes were black and white.

(What the hell is ? What kind of reaction is this?)

Feeling something strange about this situation, I handed out the manual for the staff of the Japanese-style Takoyaki Cafe.

And for some reason, as I flipped through the manual with a puzzled look on my face, everyone seemed more and more at a loss for words.

What do you mean? whats going on?

Whats with the , this deadly detailed manual? How to take orders, how to report orders, how to keep money, what to do if a customer causes a disturbance, etc.

For some reason, Kazamihara, who is standing next to me, makes a dumbfounded remark.

Yeah, Its just an easy to read manual of what was in the preparation materials at the planning stage, but I made it because the customer service and accounting staff was having trouble understanding it.

Oh, , you were thinking this thoroughly from the planning stage?

What? Of course, its natural to think of ways to deal with problems that might be expected so that you dont get into trouble, and to fix things tightly from the planning stage, right? Otherwise, This part is bad!  This part is not good enough! Theres no way I can adopt a plan full of holes like this! Youre such a useless person! Youll be scolded all the time.

No, I mean, besides the cursing. how twisted do you think the minds of your classmates are in your head , Nihama?

Oh, no, well, I dont think the class would be that bad, but Im not completely at ease.

After all, Ive spent 12 years in a group of twisted minds.

Ive never been a very capable employee, so I have the habit of weighing all the factors and doing a lot of prep work to avoid getting in trouble!

Now, , I think Ive answered most of the requests you asked yesterday. If theres anything new, tell me now.

I looked around the classroom and saw that everyone was still silent with their handouts open.

What is it? Something strangely shocking about .

Hey, Nihama

Oh, what is it, Tsukamoto?

In the silence, it was Tsukamoto from the baseball team who slowly raised his voice.

Whats up? Ive already adjusted the shift for you and your girlfriends date.

Youre amazing, arent you ?

How so ?

I was very confused by the words that I hadnt expected one bit.

Amazing ? Whats amazing?

No, because when you think about it, we have been pouring out a lot of arbitrary requests and consultations, right? Its not normal for to be able to handle all of that in a single day

Yeah, it s really great Ive dismissed them as things that I just cant do, but I can see that youve thought a lot and came up with a way to deal with every request, trying to make it as realistic as possible

In addition, the athletic girls Fumihashi also uttered words of praise in a sympathetic voice.

Is that a compliment to me?

This manual is thicker than the customer service manual I got at my part-time job, but its so easy to understand.

I thought your explanation was great when you proposed the project, but youre such a reliable person, arent you ?

One by one, my other classmates complimented me.

I couldnt understand the situation.

(Am I being praised? Im not sure how to respond.)

In elementary, junior high, and high school, I had zero value in my own classes.

I was just a guy who didnt matter whether I was there or not, a guy who could be thrown away.

So, if you laughed at me, ignored me, or made fun of me

I had never imagined a situation where someone would say, Wow.

(.. its totally not like second life is not what you expect it to be hmm?)

I suddenly became aware of Shijoin-san sitting at the back of the classroom.

She was smiling at the fact that I was being praised by everyone. She made a cute, smug face and warped her ample breasts.

Well, anyways

Haha I didnt think Id get compliments from this many people. Thank you, everyone.

I was a little embarrassed by the unexpected praise.

Well, but this manual is so detailed and obsessive that its a bit of a turnoff. Seriously, you made this in a day?

Yeah, Im really grateful, but um, I mean, its so amazing that you can handle that many requests in one day, it might be a little crazy .

Its like this awesome but scary no, its awesome but

Oh, come on!

Dont suddenly remove the ladder!

Did you have to say that? If youre going to praise me, praise me to the end!

And so the preparations for the cultural festival proceeded.

The day of the event arrived in a flash.
