Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 121: Cultural Festival and Proposal

Chapter 121: Cultural Festival and Proposal

“Sigh…”

“H-Hey. Don’t be so down. Alice. I know I’ve said it many times, but it can’t be helped. Yeah.”

“Yes, but it’s just that you said I was cute. You said that, and yet my dad is being mean…”

“No, no, your father made that decision thinking about you, Alice. So, you really shouldn’t be so upset. Besides, you’re already working at DocManald.”

Well, first of all, taking Alice to a maid café was a questionable decision. She seemed happy, which was good, but it was definitely because she wanted to be fussed over… Yeah. Next time, I’ll definitely tell Alice’s mom.

And it’s not just me; anyone who imagined Alice in a maid outfit would think she’s cute… Yes, not just me…

“…”

For now, Alice had been like this since morning at school.

Yesterday, when she was being persuaded, she seemed not too keen on the maid job, feeling embarrassed and such…

What a change of heart.

“Even though Mamiya-kun said I was cute…”

“…”

I did say that, but…

“Huh? What’s wrong, Mamiya-kun, Alice-chan?”

“…Oh, Tanaka-kun?”

“Tanaka-kun…”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“Yes, it’s nothing.”

What’s this? He seemed unusually happy.

“I just heard something about a maid cafe, is that what you’re talking about?”

And this guy, Tanaka-kun, always eavesdrops on people’s conversations…

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Heh.”

Really, what’s with you, Tanaka-kun? Why that grin?

“So, Alice-chan wanted to work at a maid café, but her father didn’t give permission.”

“…”

Yes, he has overheard everything without missing a beat…

Perfect information-gathering skills.

In a good way, but also in a bad way…

No, definitely in a bad way…

“Then it’s perfect. Our class could do a maid café for the upcoming cultural festival.”

Huh? At the cultural festival?

“Eh? Can we really do that?”

And Alice seems incredibly interested in the idea.

“Yeah, we can. Luckily, our class hasn’t decided what to do for the festival yet. Don’t you think it’s perfect? Right, Yorimoto-kun?”

“Eh, well… yeah.”

“See, Yorimoto-kun agrees too. We’ll have him propose it at the next homeroom.”

“Ha? I have to propose it?”

“What? Do you have a problem with that? Huh?”

“Uh… well… okay.”

“See, Yorimoto-kun is all for it. He can’t wait to do a maid café.”

“…”

Hey, Yorimoto. I know it’s weird to say this, but maybe you should punch him just once. 

I’ve always thought this, but why are you so obedient to Tanaka-kun? 

It’s really strange. Everyone around must be thinking the same. It’s a mystery.

“And with Yamamoto-san in our class, people are definitely going to come, right, Yorimoto-kun?”

“Well… that’s certainly true. Yamamoto in a maid outfit…”

Indeed, if Yamamoto and Alice were to be maids, it would surely attract a crowd. Yamamoto wasn’t in the classroom right now, perhaps in the restroom or somewhere else.

“Really? Can I really be a maid?”

“…”

Before I knew it, Alice’s expression had brightened up considerably compared to earlier.

“Look, Mamiya-kun also wants to see Alice-chan and others in maid outfits, right?”

“Eh…”

I stuttered as Alice suddenly looked at me with a serious expression.

“Well, yeah.”

“Hehe, yay! This is going to be great! The cultural festival is going to be the best!”

And her excitement grew even more than before.

Huh? Does this mean we’re really going to do a maid café?

“Alright, it’s decided. I’ll talk to Yamamoto-san later. This is going to be fun. Let’s go, Yorimoto-kun.”

“H-Hey.”

Before I knew it, Tanaka-kun and Yorimoto had disappeared like the wind.

“…”

Seriously?

“Hehe, yay! Yay! We are all doing the maid café!”

Well, it’s not necessarily a bad thing…

“…”

This seems like it’s going to be quite a challenge…

Yeah.

So, a maid café, huh?

If that’s the case, I should probably report this at the next committee meeting.

“…”

This is quite unexpected. All of us at a maid café…

Yeah, it’s going to be tough.
