Chapter 48: The day I participated in parent meeting once again (First half)
“Has anyone received any contact from Sato-san and the others yet?”
Said Tosaki Yui with a perfect smile, immediately after the scheduled time. For me who have prior interactions with her, that smile made me feel quite uncomfortable, but for the others who have never talk with her yet it might seems sincere to them.
“……Ummー, I don’t think we’ve got any words from them…… Right?”
“……Yes, nothing at all. How about you guys?”
Prompted by earrings-wearing person, the adult-like person said with an easy-to-see-through bitter smile. Then Tec-chan who has the usual weak presence…… Wait no, this time he nods with more spirit than usual. I guess something good happened to him.
“What about you Tendou-san?”
Said Tec-chan. I think they’re going to be late again anyway.
“I haven’t heard anything from them either.”
I secretly turn my eyes to Tosaki Yui, she’s already frozen but still keeping her fake smile up. She must be pretty mad in her head for sure. I feel responsible since I’m the one who asked her to come here but, I can’t help it since this is how Sato and her friends usually do things after all.
“I understand.”
Tosaki Yui said quietly as she stands up. Then she walks straight toward the whiteboard, tapping lightly on the board with a black marker in her hand.
“Let us proceed with the meeting as scheduled. As for what we’re discussing here, it’s about the fun festival that’s going to be held in October, that is correct yes?”
……Are you for real.
There are a lot on my mind but, I can’t just put them into words to say it out. I think others are feeling the same as me too, as they’re trying to open their mouth.
“Excuse me Kazami-san, is there something wrong?” (Yui)
“……No, it’s nothing.”
“Thank you very much. By the way, where do you start discussing from usually?”
There’s no one who can answer that question. It’s because we’ve never actually discussed anything at all in the first place.
“……You see, usually Sato-san and her friends are in charge of everything so.”
Tosaki Yui is looking straight right at the earrings-wearing person―― Kazami-san, as she answered with a bitter smile.
“And what did Sato-san and her friends usually start from?”
However, Tosaki Yui didn’t stop her questioning just there. Although she’s asking things that are supposed to be asked, but since all of her questions come rapidly without any pause, that made Kazami-san bewildered.
……Her smile is really scary.
“Usually she’s like “Oh my, so everyone is already here it seems~” ……”
And when I was about to interrupt in between, Sato and her elderly friends appeared after the door was opened. Tosaki Yui instantly turns her sight from Kazami-san to Sato instead.
“Greetings. I won’t ask you the reason why you’re late, so take a seat immediately please.”
“Ohh myyy, this is Tosaki-san isn’t it. Are you okay with your work?”
“The meeting has already started. Please refrain from any private talks, and take a seat promptly.”
……How can she say such harsh words so straightforwardly with that smile.
In contrast to the horrified me, Sato’s usual irritating smile didn’t drop one bit.
“Why are you so angry? My my this is no good, perhaps you haven’t received enough calcium may I assume?”
……What are you fanning the flames for, please give me a break I really don’t want you guys to fight here.
“……”
Tosaki Yui keeps her smile on, looking straight at Sato’s face.
“Good lord, what are you staring at people’s face for. Oh my, I really hate this you know~”
Receiving Sato’s scornful remark, Tosaki Yui let out a sigh mixed with a smile.
“No, it’s just that, I think your skin care is very elegant. I’m very much fascinated.”
“Oh dear, you understand this too?”
You’re so easy Sato! Now you’re in a good mood!?
“Yes. By the way, what are we going to do at the next fun festival? Please excuse my rudeness but no one here seems to know anything about it……”
“It’s your first time here so there’s no helping it. The next one is…… yes right, last year we did a puppet show.”
“Have you decided on the place and time yet?”
“We’ve only decided that it’ll be held around October.”
The moment Sato answered, Tosaki Yui quickly moves her hand that’s holding the marker. And just like that, she asks the next question.
“Regarding the place, did you have any idea on that yet?”
“Yes, I thought about using the community center’s hall just like last year.”
“How much budget do we have here?”
“We have quite a plentiful budget you see. For the time being, we collect two thousand yen for each person here.”
And the questioning continues. Meanwhile, Tosaki Yui‘s hand that’s holding the marker never stops moving. She keeps looking at Sato’s face with a smile all the time, while writing on the whiteboard『Date ; undecided Location ; undecided』, and she keeps on writing beautiful letters one after another.
All of us were stunned to see that Tosaki Yui perfectly keeps her pace up with Sato’s, as normally we couldn’t keep up with Sato’s pace at all. As if she’s chanting magic, she keeps inquiring Sato for necessary information.
“Thank you very much. To summarize, currently you haven’t decided on anything yet.”
“That’s right. But I think we’re going to do the same as last year you see.”
“What do you mean by, the same?”
“It’s a puppet show silly, puppet show. I just said it earlier didn’t I~”
Ohhohoho, the elderlies laugh in unison.
And Tosaki Yui without a pause,
“Then the place will be the community center, date is yet to be decided, there is eight of us here so the total budget is sixteen thousand yen.”
“That’s right, let that be it then.”
“I understand. Very well then, we’ve to decide on the date and time first.”
“Is that so? But you know, it’s still a month away isn’t it? We can decide on that later.”
“……”
For us that’s what we’d usually hear, but for her that is an unexpected statement. Even for Tosaki Yui that really made her lost her words, however she opens her mouth immediately after.
“Regarding the date and time, we should decide on that as soon as possible. If the appointed day doesn’t match with our schedule that’d be a disaster.”
“It’s okay I said, I’m always free anyway~”
……Are you for real Sato, I unconsciously was about to stand up just now dammit. Always free your ass.
That’s right~. said her elderly friends while laughing in unison. And before I knew it Tosaki Yui who has already lost her smile, cast a glance to her side, looking at the other three people except me. After that she turns her sight back to Sato and her friends, opening her mouth.
“Then, regarding the budget.”
I got a chill ran down my spine. Even though her tone and voice hadn’t changed one bit, but the color of her voice is completely different from what it had been just before. Clearly, there’re thorns in them now.
……She’s definitely angry. I understand her feelings but, what am I going to do if things get out of hand.
“Did you purchase anything last year?”
“I haven’t bought anything though?”
“Then…… What did you use the budget you collected on?”
The thing she said isn’t weird. But, there’s a clear undercurrent in her voice. As if she’s implying that Sato and her friends embezzled the budget.
Hearing her said so, Sato speaks,
“You know what you’ve been a real annoyance for a while now! If that is so then you should just think of everything by yourself! I’m going home!!”
And, she walks out through the door after throwing a tantrum.
“……”
Are you for real, surely everyone in here have the same thought as me.
“……Funn.”
“……Hmph.”
After leaving two mysterious remarks behind, the other two elderlies also left the room.
For the five-remaining people, an indescribable air flows through us.
As for Tosaki Yui, she slowly walks to the door, and then closes it.
After that she turns around, making a perfect smile that I’m even more amazed at before speaking.
“Then, let us continue or discussion.”
Obediently, all of us nodded.
You can’t win against her.
Do not oppose her.
Surely, everyone has the same thought.
