~CHAPTER 17~
“Time flies fast... it’s the school festival again,” Kii said, feeling nostalgic. “Then... it’s the winter holidays.. after that, Hime-senpai and Yuka-senpai graduates and we become third-years... Then we can’t play with Ichigo and Rai anymore..” She sighed. “Ugh, I hate how time flies so fast!”
“Time won’t wait for us, so we have to move on,” Oreki said. “Besides, the school festival is coming soon and we have to perform.”
“I agree with Oreki-kun,” Satoshi agreed.
“P-Perform? This is my first time....” Ichigo admitted, embarrassed.
“I’m excited!” Rai cheered.
There was a knock on the door. “Sumimasen.”
“H-Hime-senpai?” Kii was shocked.
“Konnichiwa,” Kuroyukihime greeted. “About the upcoming school festival, well, of course, you all will be performing. You all know that the stage will be fully booked, right? And the number of music-related clubs have increased so much that 2 days won’t be enough for all of them to perform.”
“What?” Oreki was surprised and a little disappointed. “Does that mean we can’t perform this year...?”
“That depends on how well you work,” Kuroyukihime said.
“How well we work?” Satoshi was puzzled.
“3 days before the school festival, we will have a competition where you’ll have to sell 250 things that you have made. There will also be other competitions so that the winners will get to advertise their items on sale and get more people.”
“E-EHHHHHH?!!”
“Fukou da...” Oreki said.
“But... what do we make?” Rai asked.
“I have an idea... we could make chibi nendoroids of ourselves,” Ichigo suggested.
“Well, I’ll leave this to you all,” Kuroyukihime said, winking. “I have to go now.” She left the room and closed the door.
“If we go with Ichigo’s idea, how are we going to make nendoroids?” Satoshi asked.
“We could custom order them, and don’t worry, he’s gonna pay for all of this,” Kii assured. “These aside, we need to know how to advertise.”
“Baki’s imouto, are you sure Baki won’t go bankrupt?” Rai asked.
“He’s never going to be,” Kii emphasized it.
“If I remember correctly, Senpai said that there were other competitions available... and if we win, we’ll get to advertise...” Oreki said.
“Then let’s go now to the notice board to see the list of competitions available!” Kii said enthusiastically. Before she could even take a step out of the room, Oreki stopped her.
“Kii-chan, wait,” Oreki said. “It’s still 2 more weeks before the start of selling the nendoroids, I doubt they have put it up yet.”
“But what if they have already put it up?” Satoshi guessed.
“It’s worth taking a try,” Ichigo said, after hearing Satoshi’s words.
“Then let’s go now!” Rai said.
They went to the notice board. But, colourful posters that had recruitment purposes engulfed them. It was full... really full.
“How are we going to find it in this mess?!!” Kii complained.
“The most strategic location has to be under an unpopular club’s paper,” Satoshi deduced.
“Let’s see....” Rai searched for the most unpopular club. She lifted the paper and saw it. The list of competitions! “It’s over here!!”
“Ah?! You found it that fast?!” Ichigo said, surprised.
“I have sharp eyes,” Rai said, smiling.
“But look.... all the competitions are full... and the only one left is the cake competition...” Oreki commented sadly.
“C-CAKE?!!” Kii suddenly squealed. “I CAN MAKE THOSE!!”
“Oh yeah.. I almost forgot Kii is a really good patissiere..” Satoshi said, sweatdropping.
“We need 3 people for this,” Ichigo said, reading the criterias.
“Kazuto-kun will come with me,” Kii decided immediately.
“Why am I coming with you?!”
“Because you’re a great cook.”
“That doesn’t mean I’m a great patissier!!!”
“I’m coming too,” Satoshi said. “I’m not that good, but I’ve learnt some skills.”
“Then we’ll look over the music room,” Rai said. (Note: The place where they will sell their nendoroids will be in the music room.)
“Wait, look at this,” Ichigo called to their attention, pointing to another poster, showing the details.. “We don’t need to win if we want to advertise our booth... but, if we win, it will be more effective. Also, there’s a special gift... if we win, one of our members gets to use some ingredients to make what they want, and they can do anything with it.
If we win, one of our members gets to use some ingredients to make what they want, and they can do anything with it. The words kept ringing in Kii’s ears, making her unfocused on the people around her.
“Ano.. Kii-chan..? Kii-chan!!” Oreki called, snapping Kii out of her senses.
“Ah..! Sorry...” Kii apologised.
“What were you thinking?”
“Nothing!!!”
“....” Oreki knew that something was up, but he decided to believe her for the time being.
“Looks like the ingredients will be provided.... and if it runs out, we can’t replenish them,” Ichigo continued saying.
“I think we should go back to the music room and decide what should we make,” Kii suggested.
They went back to the music room and checked the list of recipes on Kii’s Neuro Linker.
“Ah... I’m so hungry.. right now....” Ichigo said, fantasizing about the food.
“They look so.. delicious...!” Rai commented.
“Kii, how do you have so many recipes in your Neuro Linker?” Satoshi asked.
“I downloaded them, obviously!” Kii said.
“Well, that’s for sure,” Oreki said.
