“Are Airi and Ryota-kun both choosing the cafe? Yuria, you said before that you prefer acting as an executive committee member, right?”

“Well… because in a cafe, the food and beverage procedures are very troublesome… and there are inspections and stuff, which is really disgusting.”

Inspection… that kind of inspection, right?

Although it’s not the right time to think about it, it is indeed the job of the executive committee to collect those things, and Yuria would definitely not like it.

“So, Rui, what about you?”

“Me? Well, I’m still hesitating.”

As Kuroki spoke, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.

(What…what kind of look is that?)

I glared back at her, and she smiled and looked back at Yuria.

“I want to vote for the play for Yuria.”

“Hey! Rui, why don’t you choose the cafe too? We can be maids together!”

“Eh? But I’m not as cute as Yuria and Airi.”

Kuroki looked at me and said.

Does Kuroki know that I’m thinking about Kaiyama’s big breasts and Yuria’s thighs?

It’s ironic that a beautiful girl like Kuroki says she’s not cute.

“No, no, if Rui isn’t cute, then all the girls in our class are not worth mentioning.”

“Hehe, Yuria, are you praising me?”

Kuroki moved closer to Yuria and lifted Yuria’s chin with her beautiful left hand.

“I feel shy when being praised by a fashionable hottie like Yuria.”

“No! I was just telling the truth…”

Wow, here comes the yuri scene! No!

This Kuroki guy…she did it on purpose.

(Yuria is blushing too much!)

“Ryota Ryota, you should choose acting, right?”

“Haishan, don’t you want to choose Big Breasts Coffee… No, Coffee House?”

“Yes. If Yuria from the executive committee says that acting is easier, then I’ll apply for acting as well. Ai Li is fine with either.”

“…That’s right. Then I’ll also act in the play.”

Acting… huh?

Anyway, the heroine will definitely be Kuroki, and I, a lonely otaku, can only do chores.

The heroine is Kuroki… I have a bad feeling about this… Am I overthinking it?”

“The second period of Modern Society turned into a study period, so we decided to discuss what the class should do for the cultural festival.

The girl’s executive committee member is Yuria Ichinose, the No. 1 hottie in high school.

The male executive committee member is the sunny and handsome boy Yamato Hino, whose personality is very suitable for being a leader.

“Well, let’s continue discussing the cultural festival today! Last time we discussed it, we decided to choose between a play and a cafe. Have you decided which one you want to choose this weekend?”

Hino smoothly advanced the discussion with his excellent eloquence.

Yuria, who doesn’t like talking to boys, silently writes various things on the blackboard under Hino’s command, playing a supporting role.

(You didn’t even open your heart to Hino and Yuria?)

When I think about it this way, I am really amazing…

Whether in appearance, height or social skills, I am far inferior to the sunny boy Hino. The only thing I can surpass him is academic performance.

But relying solely on academic performance will only make you a “nerd” and you will not be able to surpass those sunny boys in the social aspect of the class.

I have always been a nerd shadow at the bottom of the class, but now I am undoubtedly standing at a higher level than those sunny boys.

(This is also thanks to the seat swap with Yuria, Umiyama, and Kuroki sitting nearby)

Not long ago I would have been intimidated by these three people, but because of the secrets we shared, we became close.

At first I hated the seat change, but now it seems like a blessing in disguise.

“Okay, now pass out the slips of paper and everyone write down your choices.”

I was feeling superior when the voting started.

“Ryota, here’s the paper.”

I took a palm-sized piece of white paper from Haishan who was sitting in the seat in front of me and immediately wrote “drama”.

After the voting ended, the results came out after a while.

“Okay, now let me announce the results. What we, Group 2, Grade 1, are going to do at the cultural festival is… a play!”

Upon hearing Hino’s announcement, the class applauded.

(Oh, it’s a play after all)

Kaishan and Kuroki looked at each other and laughed.

Yuria said that acting was easier than working in a cafe, so they were both happy to have chosen acting.

Regardless, the friendship between these three girls is really comforting to watch.

“Since we’ve decided to put on a play, let’s decide what kind of play to put on. What suggestions do you have——”

Hino’s words were interrupted by Kuroki on my right.

Blackwood… ?

“It’s too troublesome to prepare an original play. I think classic plays are better. For example, “Snow White”…how about it?”

Snow White? No way?

Is Snow White the story of an ideal and noble lazy person who falls asleep after eating an apple and can only be awakened by a kiss from a handsome prince?

(Oh my god, why do you want to recommend a play with kissing scenes… Who would come to watch a class play? Can’t you just play Momotaro?)

“Oh! Snow White, that’s a great idea! What do you think?”

Hino complimented Kuroki while asking for everyone’s opinions.

“I support what Kuroki said!”

“Me too!”

“I don’t have any problem either!”

“I want to be awakened by Kuroki’s kiss!”

“Me too!”

Although there were some disgusted noises, almost the entire class nodded in agreement.

(Is this… the absolute influence of Kuroki Rui?)

When Kuroki Rui says right is right, and when she says left is left,

As the class committee chairperson and the most popular person in school, Kuroki Rui’s words immediately become the opinion of everyone.

“Then I’ve decided to play Snow White!”

The class burst into applause again.
