Chapter 76: 76

Chapter 76 – Sports Festival Part 1

Bam! Ba-bam!

The morning started with the ringing sound of fireworks.

The fireworks were launched to announce the opening of the sports festival at our high school.

If I hadn’t changed, sports festivals would have been nothing but a bothersome event for me.

But I’m different now.

I don’t have to sit in class because I have a place in the Student Council. Plus, I can be with Sara-senpai.

——————————————

Today’s weather is good.

It hasn’t rained for the past few days, so the ground condition is good.

It’s as perfect as it can be for the sports festival.

And I’ll be competing in the individual events, as I did last year.

I left home earlier than usual today.

To meet up with Senpai in front of the station.

Probably because it was a Sunday morning, and thus, there were fewer people than usual.

After waiting for a while, I saw Senpai.

She noticed me and smiled. She was carrying a large traveling bag, so I hurried to her.

“Good morning, Sara-senpai. Let me carry your luggage.”

“Good morning, Takanashi-san. No worries, I can handle this much…”

I grabbed her traveling bag and took it, albeit a little forceful.

“Sara-senpai, I wanted to meet up for this, okay? Please let me carry your luggage.”

There was no way I would make Senpai carry a piece of oversized baggage.

Besides, it would be wrong for her to carry such massive luggage while I have a small one.

That’s why it was by no means wrong to say it’s also for my sake.

Recently, I realized that the most effective way to persuade Senpai is to look at her directly in her eyes.

So this time, too. I tried to persuade Senpai with that method.

It was super effective. Senpai nodded in agreement.

“Sorry, but please take care of it.”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

It was a good decision to meet up since the luggage was heavier than expected.

——————————————

I went to the classroom, greeted the homeroom teacher, and went to the field.

Then I proceeded to the headquarters.

“Good morning.”

“Morning~.”

“Good morning. Let’s do our best today.”

It looks like Senpai and the Student President haven’t arrived yet.

I am very thankful for having this headquarters.

Not only was I thankful for being out of the direct sunlight, but it also served as a shelter for me.

While thinking about unnecessary things, the Student President and Senpai, as well as the other members of the group, all arrived. It looks like everyone is now present.

“Good morning, everyone! Let’s do our best today!”

“Good morning, everyone. Let’s do our best while enjoying ourselves too.”

After that, the group disbanded.

The opening ceremony was a bit of a bother.

Especially the commencement.

It’s a pity I’m in the white group while Senpai is in the red group.

——————————————

After the opening ceremony, the students returned to class seats while I headed straight for the headquarters.

It won’t be my event for a while, so I have plenty of time to spare.

I’ll be participating in the 200m run, the scavenger hunt, the ball drop, and other solo events.

The cavalry race is the one I hated the most. Since it’s a cavalry, I would have to match the others’ movements.

After arriving at the headquarters, a senior member of the broadcasting club was already preparing. I realized now that I had not greeted this person properly.

“Hello. I look forward to working with you today.”

“Hi. Please take care of me too, Takanashi-kun.”

Apparently she knows me.

“Ah! Sorry for not introducing myself. I am Minami Fukazawa from the broadcasting club.

Come to think of it, the person who reads the requests and notices during lunchtime broadcasts was named “Minamin”. Are they the same person?

“I heard about you from Natsumi, Takanashi-kun. I’m looking forward to working with you.”

She said that and smiled prettily.

My first impression of her was that she was a friendly person.

Since she’s Natsumi-senpai’s friend, is she Sara-senpai’s friend also?

“Regarding Satsukawa-san’s live coverage. I don’t know how it’ll go, so if you have any problems, just follow my lead, okay?

“Roger! I’ll do my best!”

This nervous feeling… I think I understand how Sara-senpai felt now.

Honestly, I don’t want to follow up on comments about the live coverage.

I don’t have any idea what to do.

“Thank you for waiting.”

Sara-senpai arrived.

“Fukazawa-san, please take care of me today.”

“Same here, Satsukawa-san. Ah, also, please call me ‘Minamin’.”

“Then, let’s go over the details of the competition, Fukazawa-san.”

Ignored… Did Senpai brush her off?

“Takanashi-kun, please use this chair.”

A chair was given to me and placed next to the live commentator’s table by the Student President.

It’s really okay to be here… I’m relieved.

There was a sign on the back of the chair.

“For Takanashi’s use. No one is allowed except for him to use this chair.”

…The teachers won’t be angry, right?

If they say anything, I’ll tell them honestly that the Student President did it.

“Now, Takanashi-san, please have a seat.”

For some reason, Senpai looked delighted as she offered me the seat.

Don’t tell me she was happy because of the “Takanashi Only” sign?
