Chapter 49: The day I participated in parent meeting once again (Later half)

Right now, the first actual meeting is being held in front of my eyes.

With Tosaki Yui at the center, everyone was discussing things for their children, exchanging opinions with happy looks. In the past, parents meeting was just an event for us to gather around and listen to Sato for what we’re going to do next at the next fun festival. But I think this is actually how it supposed to be.

Really, everyone look truly happy. And at the same time, looking at it from the side like this, it really reminded me that it’s Tosaki Yui who made this discussion happened all by herself. With her brilliant choice of words, the meeting is going smoothly.

And when I can’t control myself anymore and was about to give some opinion of my own,

“A- “Then! Regarding the idea you just discussed earlier.” ……”

I’m just trying to find a right moment to-,

“O- “Yes, if that is so then I have one suggestion to make.” ……”

……I’m sorry Misaki, As you can see, I’m powerless here.

And like this―― everyone except me, is having a fulfilling time.

“Then, let us decide from these that we’ve discussed. Which one do you think would make our child happiest?”

Twenty minutes has passed since the meeting started. Both the time and place, as well as how we’d spend our budget are all already decided, we’ve also decided that we’re going to do the puppet show. And so, we’re now discussing what story should we play, and when we run out of idea we’re going to decide it by majority vote.

Momotarou.

Little Red Riding Hood.

The Tales of Verona. 1

The Crying Red Ogre.

The Crab and the Monkey.

While raising an eyebrow at that super western-ly story name, I start thinking about which one should I choose. First I’ll have to cut that western-ly name off of my list which I don’t even know whose idea that is and――

“Yes. Then going by majority vote, it was decided that we’re going to play The Tales of Verona.”

Ahhh yup, she’s going to ignore my opinion as I thought…… wait, Hahh!?

“Honestly fairy tales are just too dull aren’t they.”

Said the earrings person.

“I feel like those old folklores are literally being left behind by the times.”

Said the person without earrings.

“I think it’s a very good idea that we play a story that children normally doesn’t have much chances to come into contact with.”

Said Tec-chan.

“……”

Said Tosaki Yui who looked at me for the first time in a while with a triumphant look.

……Just what is The Tales of Verona again? I think its world setting is something similar to Romeo and Juliet right, or maybe not…… Anyway I at least understand that it’s not a story created for children.

“Then, let us discuss about the roles and the puppets we need to prepare.”

Yes, the other three nodded. Doesn’t seems like I can interrupt them like this.

The meeting continues with amazing progress, things are being planned and decided one after another. The three women will do the puppet’s voice, Tec-chan is in charge of lights and sounds. And then, I got chosen as a receptionist role. I want to believe that there’s no malicious intent or any deeper meaning behind this but, just what I’m supposed to do during the play as a receptionist…… Well, whatever, let’s devote myself to the role of Misaki’s reaction watcher.

” ―― Tendou-san is going to play as a reception during the play too, yes.”

Oi wait a second rewrite that now.

“I think this is pretty much…… it. Is there something else that we missed?”

There is one you know, the thing you wrote just now that is.

“Seems like there’s nothing. Then, let us conclude our meeting today.”

And why would she say that after looking at my eyes. Really just how mad she is at me.

“Let us come together again, next Saturday at the same time. Very well then, I’ll have to excuse myself as I have work to do. Thank you very much for your cooperation today.”

She expresses her gratitude beautifully, and then quickly got out of the room. After seeing that back off, the meeting room back in silence but filled with satisfied feelings. Thanks to this great atmosphere, I couldn’t put myself to complain. The atmosphere is so good that even I don’t want to ruin this mood by acting like a barbarian.

Clap, there was a clapping sound.

“Oh man～ Tosaki-san is really just too cool isn’t she!”

Said the earrings person.

“Really, she felt like a person who get things done, I think I’ve become her fan now.”

Said passionately the person without earrings.

Well sure her skills are a real deal; I think this is also a part of why Tosaki Yui is such an outstanding person. How should I put this, she has a very good understanding of people’s mentality. To put it simply, she goes along with things really well. Although it’d be best if she also used that skill to at least make me happy too……

“By the way, Tendou-san you are friends with Tosaki-san right?

Said earrings person. Well, anyone would be curious if you got avoided blatantly like that.

“Our daughters are friends after all, we’ve talked a few times.”

“How enviable!”

“I’m so jealous of you!”

“Well, it’s not something that great you see.”

“Do you know her email address!?”

“I also want to talk with her in private too!”

“Like I said, it’s just because of our daughters so we’ve only greeted and nothing else……”

This is bad, what should I reply to them. If I’m not careful this can end in disaster.

“Tosaki-san’s daughter is Yui-chan right!? When I get back, I have to talk with Taku-chan about this.”

“Is there no pictures you two took together!?”

“Umm, Misaki’s waiting for me so, excuse meeeee!”

I said quickly and escape out of there.

……That really freaked me out, I didn’t know that those two are the types that’ll go after their prey so ravenously. Don’t tell me, this is also one of the plots Tosaki Yui has set up as a diversion right…… The fact that I can’t deny that immediately scares m……

“Ummm! Do you mind if we go back home together until halfway!?”

“M-, me too! Where can you usually meet Tosaki-san!?”

You’re chasing me!?

I hotfooted out of there with all my might without looking back.

……Wait no.

I suddenly start reconsidering, stopping my feet.

“You want to know things about Tosaki Yui right?”

“Yes!”

“By all means!”

The thing I came up with, it’s something really simple―― I’m going to tell them a mixture of truth and fictions.

“Actually she is――”
