Chapter 50: The day I participated in parent meeting once more again.
At the next week’s Saturday. The parent meeting was held once again.
There’s something I want to talk about, so right now I’m waiting for Tosaki Yui at the entrance just like before.
And just like last time, a taxi stopped in front of the parking lot’s entrance five minutes before the scheduled time. And then Tosaki Yui appeared, she take a glance at me and immediately openly express her hatred toward me, before walking pass right by my side. I tried blocking Tosaki Yui‘s path, then happily greeted her.
“Hey, it’s been a week!”
She stopped walking, before speaking mixed with sighing.
“……What are you trying to do? I didn’t call for you.”
So I have to be called first before anything huh.
“Also I recalled that I told you to not talk to me yes? Did you forgot that already?”
……As harsh as ever huh, I don’t really mind that though.
Anyway, there’s one thing I have to do.
“I’m sorry.”
“Hah?”
“At that time when we talked in front of the nursery school, I think I said something that offense you. I won’t ask you to tell me what offenses you. It’s just, I want to apologize.”
Slowly, I bowed my head.
This is what I learnt from Aniki’s shop. Even the weirdest of guys out there won’t get mad without a reason. And even more so if another person is a decent human being. That’s why, I think there’s a reason for her to get mad at me.
Although I don’t know what that is yet. However, not knowing something and not thinking about something is a different thing.
And so, she――
“Hah?”
Yup, I’ve received the second “Hah?” in a row now.
Very well, if you’re going at it like this then I’ve an idea too.
“……Is that so. Well, nevermind. I’m not expecting you to forgive me right away so easily anyway.”
“I’m speaking the truth here. What you said just now makes me doubts how well your sanity is, really.”
……You’re going that far?
“Ahー I really hate this, wasting my precious time like this feels very unpleasant. Geez, really, really gee――ez, kuuu…… Who did this!? Placing a stupid pole here in the middle of the road like this! I’m going to file a complaint, is it the city hall people? So I have to go to the city hall right!?”
……What the hell is this, this is…… what the hell is she doing.
Suddenly hitting her head against a pole, holding her forehead to keep the pain away while grumbling.
“Please be quiet! And also please don’t look over here!”
“I haven’t even said anything yet……”
This person is really weird in a funny way. I mean, her appearance during the meeting and this childish appearance of her right now, really how should I deal with this?
“……Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’ll be going now, also I didn’t called you!”
She walks toward the meeting room, while stomping her feet on the ground to vent her anger.
Good grief I sighed, and followed her.
“Didn’t I just said that I didn’t call you!”
“Uh well you see, I’m also here for Misaki’s sake you know……”
“It’s fine I’ll do everything by myself.”
“Wait wait, Misaki’s really looking forward to this too you know. I already told her that Ryo-kun’s going to do a puppet show after all.”
“You reap what you sow. Everything is already planned so pelase don’t follow me.”
“No way, I’ll attend the meeting at all costs.”
“Are you a child or something?”
You’re the one to talk.
“Oh well whatever. I won’t let you speak anything today anyway.”
She said, while opening the door so hard that she almost pull the handle off too.
“Tosaki-san!”
“Yui-pon!”
At that moment, two women who were in the room jump right at her.
“G-, good morning everyone. What’s the matter?”
Yup, this is what I’ve planned.
Fuhahaha resolve yourself Tosaki Yui. I’ve already brainwashed them into believing in something that never happened. Well these guys keep pestering me after all, I hope this’ll make you feels all tired and fed up!
“Tosaki-san, I’ve already head the story…… That must be really tough isn’t itttttt!”
“Uh, yes. It was tough yes.”
The earrings person grabs both of her hand while swinging it up and down. As expected, even she is taken aback from this sudden turn of events.
And immediately after, the person without earrings called her from the side.
“Yui-pon!”
“Y-, Yui-pon?”
“Yui-pon!”
“Yes, Yui-pon here.”
“Yui-ponnnnn!”
“Kurokawa-san, what’s the matter? Kazami-san you too, anyway please calm down first.”
Gyahahaha, she’s all confused now look at that.
“……Yes, that’s right…… A lot has happened to me, a lot really.”
She’s still confused…… Wait what?
“But…… I’m okay now.”
“……Tosaki-san.”
“……Yui-pon.”
Eh, what, they’ve calmed down? That easily?
“Then, let us proceed with our meeting.”
” ” Yesss!” “
……This must be a joke, no way in hell.
Briskly, Tosaki Yui walked to the whiteboard.
She then takes out a marker and turns around, looking at me.
Seeing that triumphant look on her face, I’ve regained my composure.
……The hell is this, this really feels like two kids fighting each other.
Let’s sit down for now.
I trudged to my usual seat, And the usual weak presence of…… Wait no, today Tec-chan has a face full of vitality just like the last time, and he greeted me with a light nod.
I nodded back while feeling a bit confused, then divert my eyes from Tec-chan.
At the end of my sight, there are two women trying to suppress their tears while clenching their teeth.
“And today’s topic is――”
And so, Tosaki Yui started the discussion just like last week.
I put all unnecessary thoughts aside, and focusing on trying to give my idea today.
And in the next moment.
“――Goooddayyy~”
It was Sato who appeared with a good-mood greeting so much so that it feels creepy.
“Everyone, I have bring you all a good news~”
I have a bad feeling about this. Surely others also thought the same.
As it turned out, Sato doesn’t disappoint our expectations.
“On the show day, there’ll be about fifty children coming to watch the puppet show~ I’ve already talked about this to many people. Although the parents won’t be attending the show together with their children, but since Tosaki-san is in charge here I supposed it’ll be okay yes? But I’m not free on the show day, it is very regrettable to not be able to attend it…… Then, I’ll leave the rest to you. Please take care of it well~”
Sato quickly speaks only what she wants to say, and then went out of the room.
Silence. While I was looking at the door that was left oepn, I tried to think about it calmly.
If I recall correctly, Ponpoko nursery school only has about thirty kids in total. Which means, she called people from outside too. And it is very unlikely for those kids to have walked here alone from faraway. The thing she said about parents won’t be attending, no matter how hard I think about it there’s just no way for only kids to attend.
To sums it up, there are more people now.
What the hell this gets me all the more excited isn’t it. So even the likes of Sato can do something good once in a while huh.
“I forgot to mention thisss! The children will come by buses~, and I’ll be the one arraging those buses. But I’ll leave the rest to you alright~? Well then~”
She slipperly slips in and reappeared again, and went out immediately after.
……What the hell are those movements just now are you a ghost or something.
So ummm, what does this mean?
She seriously will gather fifty kids in one place, and without their parents at that, so to summarize it is my job to keep the kids quiet…… Right? Fifty kids that will never pipe down? That’s just absurd.
“Really, that obaa-san just keeps piling work on us……”
Quietly, the person without earrings muttered.
“……Tosaki-san, what do we do?”
The earrings person asked with eyes as if she’s asking for help.
And Tosaki Yui who’s at the end of those eyes, responded,
“Let us get the help from nursery teachers as well. I’ll be the one to contact them.”
She said, with a smile on her face.
“Hey wait, just how many teachers are there? It’ll be impossible to keep the children in order with just a few people.” (Ryuusei)
“Then wouldn’t it be nice if the receptionist-san also help them out as well?”
Well there’s nothing wrong with what she just said but, can’t you say that in a little gentler manner?
“……I got it.”
“Yes. And if there’s not enough manpower, well we’ll just think about that later. Then, let us resume our meeting.”
Tosaki Yui acts as if Sato never appeared in this room in the first place. Seeing that, the two people who already had a good impression of her, now admired her even more than before.
For me, seeing Tosaki Yui arranging this meeting charmingly and skillfully like this, it made me feel a little uncomfortable.
However, I didn’t know what that feeling was.
