Joutou Business High School

November 10-12 Culture Fair 2-C Program

All right, it's time for us to decide

what we'll do for the culture fair.

The culture fair, huh?

It's that time already?

Committee member and secretary,

go to the front.

Right.

And now...

You guys decide.

Come on, now, Chiaki...

Twentieth Haunting Under the Gilt

Seriously?

Chiaki-chan must be tired!

My judo uniform...

Okay, so I'd like to decide what we're doing for the culture fair.

November 10-12 Culture Fair 2-C Program

Does anyone have ideas?

What should we do?

Maybe teachers are busy at this time of year.

Chiaki is also in charge of counseling.

I heard that, this year, a lot fewer people are causing problems.

Is that because of the work Chiaki's been doing?

I guess so.

The first thing he did was to make friends with people likely to cause problems.

I see.

Even someone who's a little rough

wouldn't cause trouble for Chiaki, if they're friends.

But he looks pale.

H-Hey. Stop that.

But he's so cute when he's sleeping!

No phones allowed in school.

He got mad at me.

Jeez.

Don't get cocky.

You're lucky he didn't take your phone.

I know that...

He's letting me get away with it, right?

Well, I'm lucky that Class 2-C has nothing but good students like you.

I can leave you alone, without worry.

He believes in us, doesn't he?

I have to live up to that.

Hey, Tashiro!

Title:

"A Male High School Student Gazes Passionately at His Teacher."

It's so sad it isn't a female teacher!

Knock it off! I'll confiscate your phone!

Oh, no!

You two! Keep it down!

In the end, 2-C settled on doing a demon-fighting game.

Joutou Business High School

And so, the English Conversation Club

English Conversation Club Culture Fair Exhibit

needs to decide what it's doing for the culture fair.

The culture fair, huh?

You know,

people really liked the dubbing we did for the social, didn't they?

That's right.

I was worried when we suddenly had Inaba-kun take over, though.

No, I was more worried than anyone...

And that's what he says!

Anyway, we want to do something even better for the culture festival, right?

Let's all come with an idea.

Right!

I want to do English lessons for the kids!

I want to call someone famous for an interview.

Maybe something about stuff that happens in good movies?

Is something wrong, Inaba?

No, I just realized we haven't seen Yamamoto since then.

Konacchan, huh?

She's annoying, but I am a little curious.

Me, too.

Club President...

I sent her a bunch of messages,

but she never responded.

There's nothing else I can do.

Yeah.

And just like she said,

you can't force someone to attend.

In the end, we just have to leave it up to her.

Up to her, huh?

English Conversation Club Culture Fair Exhibit

I guess we haven't made our decision, huh?

We'll decide next time, so think hard, everyone!

Okay!

Inaba, I got some information on Konacchan!

On Yamamoto?

Yeah.

Where do you get this stuff? Really!

Before she came to JTB, she was at Jinmei.

Jinmei?

Jinmei High School

Isn't Jinmei rather famous as a good school?

I guess she's pretty smart.

But ever since she first showed up there, she acted weird.

Weird?

Uncooperative. Wanting to stand out.

The type that's all about herself.

Who has to be the best at everything,

and always in charge.

Why anime?

Why not a normal movie?

I see.

Jinmei High School

Anyway, Konacchan would always show off her knowledge,

suddenly start yelling,

or answer out of turn in class...

All she ever did was try to draw attention to herself.

And her parents were called in, but...

Her classmates couldn't take it anymore,

and they started to ignore her.

And so, she stopped going to school.

And she transferred here?

At a business high school, an average class is easier to attend than at Jinmei.

Her parents were trying to make it easy on her.

Then maybe the problem's with the parents?

No, her family's supposedly pretty normal.

Reputation with neighbors, their lifestyle,

how they act toward their kid...

It's all very normal.

How do you have that information, too?

Do you have spies?

The one thing

is that she has a big sister, five years older.

A big sister?

Her grades are always top of the class,

and she's really pretty.

She's kind, and the picture of an ideal student!

In other words, she has a complex toward her superior sister.

Yeah.

Looks like it started when she was little.

And when she was little, she was very weak.

Her family was really worried about her.

I finally understand the mystery behind Yamamoto's problems.

The old me was probably like that.

When I lived at my uncle's place,

Eriko was there, and she was two years older than I was.

Even though I wasn't their kid,

Uncle Hiroshi and Aunt Keiko never treated me differently.

But still...

I was sure there was a slight difference

between the way they treated me and Eriko.

But maybe I just imagined the whole thing.

Good, huh?

What's so funny, Yushi-kun?

Oh, nothing!

I was just thinking that you always eat a lot.

I'm still growing!

Right, Kuri?

That's true.

Mom! Green peppers were in this again!

I was always hungry in middle school, and Eriko hated all kinds of foods.

There was no way we'd eat the same food.

The problem was with me.

I convinced myself that they treated us differently,

so I made a huge deal out of things that were nothing.

The Seagull Chekhov

Yamamoto may be making mountains

out of molehills, just like I used to.

So maybe she's just gilding herself.

Gilding, huh?

I won't lose to my sister. I won't!

Mom and Dad have just decided

that I'm the poor little sister, who can't do anything.

My sister's so free, but I...

I... I can...

It's all stupid!

I'm much better than all of these people!

Admit it!

Accept me... Accept me!

So, master?

Fool?

What will you do?

About what?

About Yamamoto-sama.

Tashiro-sama brought you all that information...

Are you all right with leaving things alone?

Yeah...

Since she came to the club,

she may have wanted to interact with others.

But...

Even if that's true,

unless she admits it,

there's nothing I can do.

That is true, but...

Then butt out.

I want to do something, too.
