This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 589 - 370: Kyubei Festival (4000 words)_2

After hearing that sentence, Beichuan Si took another look at Shen Gu Mirai, not bothering to answer.

What she said was indeed true.

As long as Beichuan Si participated in the voting, there would be no need to discuss which activity the class would hold.

Under the formidable title of ’Kyubei North Demon King’ at Beichuan Si, most of the classmates would choose the activity Beichuan Si voted for.

As for those not voting for Beichuan Si...

Such stubborn people probably wouldn’t exist in all of Kyubei.

"Mr. Temple."

Lying on the desk, Shen Gu Mirai tilted her head, her big eyes staring at Beichuan Si’s face, "I just heard, the class monitor has already started collecting ideas for activities. Currently, the activities we can vote for include octopus balls, a noodle stall, and a ghost house... If it were you, Mr. Temple, which one would you vote for?"

Shen Gu Mirai almost had ’I am very curious’ written on her face.

Faced with such an expression, Beichuan Si also furrowed his brows in thought.

After more than ten seconds of thought, Beichuan Si finally answered, "I would probably choose the ghost house."

Uh...

Shen Gu Mirai’s mouth hung open.

She had never imagined Beichuan Si would choose the ghost house activity.

After all, Beichuan Si was someone who had seen real vengeful spirits.

Would someone like that still want to see the poor-quality ghost house organized by high school students?

That was clearly unscientific.

Therefore, Shen Gu Mirai was also unable to understand why Beichuan Si would immediately choose the ghost house.

Beichuan Si seemed to notice Shen Gu Mirai’s confusion and explained, "Kelian had a lot of fun last time, and if there’s a chance, I’d like to bring her along to experience it again. Plus, she likes to make small props, so this ghost house activity would be good for practicing her crafting skills."

His thoughts were simple.

In any case, those who came to the ghost house were there for the thrill, and Nishijou Kelian was there to play.

Those who visited the ghost house could find joy in Nishijou Kelian’s play, and Nishijou Kelian was also happy—

Wasn’t this a win-win situation?

On the other side, Shen Gu Mirai finally had an epiphany.

So Beichuan Si was considering it for Nishijou Kelian!

Beichuan Si had also mentioned ’Kelian had a lot of fun’ before.

Only, the consequences of that time were...

Teachers and students were all scared into fainting, and eventually, the police were even called...

Those who woke up, the teachers and students, reportedly didn’t dare to walk alone at night or go to the bathroom alone for a week.

Thus, from these points... Beichuan Si’s suggestion seemed somewhat risky.

But—

"The ghost house is indeed a good choice." Shen Gu Mirai decisively nodded.

She didn’t care about what others thought.

Since Beichuan Si wanted to plan a ghost house, then supporting Beichuan Si was enough for her.

As for those who might be scared half to death...

They were already none of her, Shen Gu Mirai’s, concern.

Thinking this, Shen Gu Mirai continued, "Since Mr. Temple wants to organize the ghost house, we can just go ahead and vote for it after school this afternoon. I will also vote for the ghost house."

Saying this, she even looked a bit schadenfreude at the students who were still discussing the Kyubei Festival.

These people usually liked to speak ill of Beichuan Si behind his back, so shouldn’t Beichuan Si recoup a bit of interest during the school festival activities?

"Alright."

Although Beichuan Si was somewhat surprised at Shen Gu Mirai’s enthusiasm for this activity, he still agreed to her suggestion.

The ghost house was an activity that Nishijou Kelian quite liked, so it was natural for him as an older brother to take it on.

The rest of the matter was much simpler.

After the two classes in the afternoon ended, it was time to vote for the activities.

The content of the voting was quite traditional, mostly involving food-related activities, and there weren’t overly animated activities like ’maid cafes’.

Octopus balls stall, noodle shop, chocolate banana stand, coffee shop, ghost house...

These activities were written on the blackboard.

At last—

Everyone in the Beichuan Si class had chosen the haunted house.

Just as Shen Gu Mirai had predicted.

When Beichuan Si was the first to raise his hand for the haunted house, all suspense was lost.

After he raised his hand, the frightened students all timidly raised their hands to choose the haunted house Beichuan Si had selected.

Even the proposers of activities like the "octopus balls stall" and "stir-fried noodles stand" raised their hands to choose the haunted house.

No one dared to challenge the authority of Beichuan Si.

They spent a couple of hours discussing in the morning and at noon... yet the decision-making process lasted barely a few seconds in the end.

This outcome left the class president standing on the podium somewhat dumbfounded.

She had initially wanted to liven up the atmosphere, hoping the students would pay some attention to other activities.

But after being glanced at by Beichuan Si, she immediately declared, "Haunted house! Our activity is decided—it will be a haunted house!"

Her face bore an expression that said, "Anyone who doesn’t choose the haunted house is crossing me," making the students below shrink their necks, not daring to utter an extra word.

The influence of the Kyubei North Demon King was evident at this moment.

Apart from these students, Qianhe Kagura, sitting on the other side of the podium, also couldn’t help but take another look at the "haunted house" activity.

"...haunted house, huh?"

She muttered quietly to herself, her mind recalling the events of the courage test during the previous forest field trip.

Qianhe Kagura looked uncertainly at Beichuan Si and murmured softly, "It shouldn’t turn out like last time, right?"

That incident was nothing more than an accident.

Although she didn’t know what had happened, believing that a student could scare a teacher to that extent was simply impossible.

At worst, she could just come and check during the class activity.

Qianhe Kagura thought to herself internally, but outwardly, she gestured for the students below to continue.

Next was the time to choose the Kyubei Festival Executive Committee.

The so-called Kyubei Festival Executive Committee members are students who handle intricate work for the school festival activities, including accounting, manpower distribution, and submitting activity forms... an altogether cumbersome job.

Of course, no one dared assign this job to Beichuan Si.

After all, who could fathom the mind of the Demon King? If they made him unhappy, everyone in the class could be doomed.

And they couldn’t propose it to Shen Gu Mirai who sat next to Beichuan Si either, feeling embarrassed.

After all, Shen Gu Mirai was the class’s little angel who would "stick with Beichuan through thick and thin." The conscience of the entire class would feel guilty if they assigned such a dirty and tiring task to her.

After a complicated round of voting, Shuishu Yui, who was serving as the class’s study committee, was the final one voted in.

This allowed Shuishu Yui to breathe a sigh of relief.

In her opinion, managing tasks for the festival committee would reduce her contact with Beichuan Si during the school festival.

After all, she only needed to handle scheduling and be responsible for purchasing essentials and submitting activity forms. She didn’t have to play the spirits or manage the cash register like some of her classmates, including Beichuan Si.

If she had to join Beichuan Si as a spirit actor...

Shuishu Yui couldn’t help but wipe her forehead.

She guessed that she would have passed out from fear before even starting to scare others.

As for now—

Shuishu Yui was in high spirits.

Though the executive committee tasks were hefty during the Kyubei Festival, not having to interact with Beichuan Si... was something she was very, very pleased with!

Originally...

That is what Shuishu Yui had thought.

"Why is the Beichuan Demon King in the Kyubei Festival committee meeting discussion team?!"

Seeing Beichuan Si sitting in the corner and student council president Qian Xia Chiyuki standing up to explain the details, Shuishu Yui felt as if she were about to suffocate.

As someone who had previously offended Beichuan Si and been harshly reprimanded, she was terrified now, almost wishing she could dash out of the meeting room.

Of course, Shuishu Yui was not the only one sporting such an expression.

Beside her... the Kyubei Festival’s Executive Committee members from each class were timidly watching that figure in the corner.

Gulp—

Who dared to speak out and express an opinion?
