Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju:Volume2 Soal Kelima

Soal Kelima

Untuk menentukan aktivitas apa yang akan dilakukan kelas, tolong semua murid membantu dalam survei ini.

'Bagaimana kau menentukan pelayan wanita ketika kau menjalankan kedai teh?'

'① Kecantikan ② kemampuan kepemimpinan ③ mobilitas ④ lainnya ( )'

Juga, tolong pilih kandidat alternatif untuk peran ini.

Jawaban Tsuchiya Kouta:

'Kandidat "① Kecantikan"... Himeji Mizuki dan Shimada Minami.'

Komentar guru:

'Kau sungguh tidak bisa menentukan diantara mereka, bukan?'

Jawaban Yoshii Akihisa:

'Kandidat "① Kecantikan"...Himeji Mizuki Hideyoshi Kinoshita Shimada Minami'

Komentar guru:

"Hazuki Shimada"

'Sensei sedikit ingin tahu kenapa ada darah di kertasmu.'

Jawaban Sakamoto Yuuji:

'Kandidiat "④ Lainnya (Pasangan pernikahan)"... Kirishima Shouko.'

Komentar guru:

'Kenapa kertasmu dibawa kemari oleh Kirishima-san kelas A?'

"Jadi kita memenangkan pertempuran ketiga tanpa bertarung?"

"Yup, lawannya keracunan makanan."

Kami dengan bingung buru-buru ke arena pertempuran ketiga kami. Setelah sampai di tempat, tak terduga yang menunggu kami adalah berita bahwa lawan kami menjadi korban. Keracunan makanan ini, jangan bilang...? Aku harap mereka bukanlah pembeli yang masuk ke toko kami.

"Kalau begitu, jika kau tidak keberatan, maukah kalian membantu membangun ulang bisnis kami?"

Hideyoshi menyatakan penyesalan dengan pandangan suram. Lagipula ini bukan salah Hideyoshi.

"Kau benar. Untuk mendapatkan kembali sejumlah pelanggan, kita harus memperkenalkan sesuatu yang membuat banyak pengaruh."

Ruang kelas ini masih kosong. Meski kami sudah menghentikan sumber kometar negatif tersebut, kami tidak bisa menghentikan kabar buruk yang sudah tersebar. Seperti kata Yuuji, jika kita tidak melakukan hal besar, pelanggan tidak akan kembali.

"Uuu, kalau begitu kita harus apa...?"

Hideyoshi melihat ke sekitar ruang kelas. Meski aku sudah melihat ke sekitar ruang kelas setidaknya sekali, aku tidak bisa memikirkan hal istimewa yang bisa kami lakukan.

"Yuuji, kau punya ide?"

"Serahkan padaku. Meskipun sederhana menggunakan kedai teh Cina dan hal semacam ini untuk menarik pelanggan, itu akan jadi sangat efektif."

Setelah itu, Yuuji mengeluarkan cheongsam biru laut dan putih itu punya sulaman yang sangat indah disitu. Komentar Hideyoshi,

"Eh. Meskipun aku merasa roknya sedikit terlalu pendek, ini akan jadi pengaruh besar. Jika kau akan menggunakan ini untuk publik-"

Itu pasti akan menjadi pengaruh besar jika Himeji-san dan Hideyoshi memakainya. Meskipun kami sedang malas, tapi itu bukan taktik buruk.

"Ah. Kita akan menyuruh-Akihisa memakai ini."

Pengaruhnya terlalu besar sekarang.

"Tunggu...! Ampuni aku! Memakai cheongsam setelah memakai kostum pelayan, semuanya akan berpikir aku homoseksual sungguhan!"

Untuk kehidupan bersekolah yang menyenangkan, aku sangat berharap tidak ada lagi kabar buruk tentangku. Meski aku adalah seorang murid biasa, aku bahkan lebih terkenal untuk alasan yang salah.

"Aku hanya bercanda. Ini untuk dipakai Hideyoshi, Himeji dan Shimada."

"Ah, begitukan? Syukurlah~"

Jadi hanya bercanda. Untung saja.

"Bukankah kau bercanda menyuruhku untuk memakainya?"

Hideyoshi menghela nafas sambil mengambil cheongsamnya.

Hideyoshi, hal tidak masuk akal apa yang kau bicarakan? Meskipun kami bercanda tentang membuat Minami memakai ini, kami akhirnya bilang ini dari dalam hati kami ketika menyuruhmu memakai ini.

"Kami kembali~! Ah, Aki melepas pakaian pelayannya."

"Ah...sayang sekali. Itu manis sekali."

"Hazuki ingin melihat onii-chan memakainya sekali lagi."

At this moment, the three girls came back. They continue to say such selfish words without caring about other people's feelings. Is my reputation going to worsen because of that incident...

"Ah ha ha. What a pity, the world isn't so naive to let people see others in cosplay, you know?"

I reveal a wicked smile to them. Since you people have seen me in a maid outfit, let me see you people in cheongsam.

"That's the situation. Himeji and Shimada, please help in increasing our earnings."

In order not to allow the prey to escape, I wave a cheongsam at them as I block their escape route. This is because at least Minami has an intention to run away.

"You, you two. Why are your expressions so terrifying...?"

"I can feel an ominous aura..."

Our two prey reveal a slight terrified attitude. However, what's regretful is that they have nowhere to go.

"Go, Akihisa!"

"OK! Hehehe, be obedient and wear this cheongsam—IT HURTS! I'M SORRY! I GOT TOO COCKY!!"

"You're so weak..."

The parts that were hit, abdomen, face and thigh, all hurt. Why is Minami's attack power stronger than me, a boy?

"Why are you mentioning this out of a sudden? I remembered that you said that we don't have to wear it."

As expected, Minami reveals an unwilling expression.

"This is for the publicity of the shop, and to satisfy Akihisa's personal taste. Akihisa likes cheongsams, right?"

I was suddenly pulled into Yuuji's conversation. Though I do like them, it's a bit embarrassing to let people know of this personal interest. It just so happened to be mentioned so coincidentally.

"I—love them!"

"You really don't know how to say a lie."

Eh? Looks like I said something wrong.

"Ca, can't be helped. For the sake of the shop, I'll just do this even if I don't want to."

"You, you're right! It's for business!"

Himeji-san and Shimada both pick up the clothes.

"Onii-chan, what about Hazuki?"

"Eh? Hazuki want to help as well?"

"Help...? Ah, ngh! I want to help, so give Hazuki one as well!"

Such an obedient kid, nobody can tell that she's Minami's little sister.

"Sorry, though I understand your intentions, there's nothing that Hazuki can we—"

"...!!(Ch ch ch ch)"

"Mu, Muttsulini! Why are you sewing clothes quickly here? And up till now, you weren't here in the first place!"

"...Don't underestimate my sense of smell."

What the heck. It was a cool line, yet it doesn't feel cool at all.

"Then we'll change into it after the third battle."

Himeji-san looks at the watch to check the time. That's right; Himeji-san and Minami have to go for their match.

"No, I hope that both of you can change into it right now."

"Eh?"

Yuuji's voice and the duo's surprised cry synchronised in a harmonious manner.

"It's for publicity. From the third battle of the summoning tournament onwards, all battles will be shown to the public. It's rare to have so many people gathering, and there's no loss in trying to publicise ourselves."

"You mean you want us to wear this, this thing to the summoning tournament..."

"This is really too humiliating..."

Both of them look troubled as they hold onto the cheongsam. In front of the media and the crowds swarming in, to run out like this is rather humiliating. However, this is to prevent Himeji-san from transferring schools, so I really hope that they'll agree.

"Please agree to this!"

After saying this, I bow my head. This isn't for Himeji-san, but for me, since I do not want Himeji-san to transfer school. Basically, this is a completely selfish request from me, thus, I would bow my head down.

"Akihisa...you really-- like cheongsams, huh..."

I don't dare to deny this fact.

"Don't tell me, that Yoshii-kun knew about my plight—"

"Can't be helped. For the class facilities, we'll help out. Right, Mizuki?"

Minami interrupts Himeji-san's thoughts with an appropriate reply.

"Ah, yes, yes! This is just a minor thing!"

Himeji-san replies with a rejuvenated tone.

Come to think of it, I did hear quite a nice info. If this is considered a trivial thing, then I'll continue to request Himeji-san to do similar things in the future.

If the information that Himeji-san and Minami are of class F, it'll have the two benefits of promoting the teahouse and showcasing class F's ability. It's rather effective.

"OK, leave it to us! Mizuki, let's go."

"Alright."

The two girls walk out of the classroom with the cheongsam in hand. There should be no problem if we're to leave it to them, right?

"...Finished."

"Wa, this onii-chan is amazing!"

Hazuki's cheongsam was completed in godspeed fashion.

There's nothing impossible for a Muttsulini that has impure intentions. Though I already knew that, I didn't know that he even has little students covered. This guy is really enigmatic.

"Oh, then I'm changing now."

"WA, WAIT A SECOND, HIDEYOSHI! YOU'RE CHANGING HERE!? YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IN THE GIRLS' BATHROOM!!!"

To an innocent teenage like me, and to a delusional Muttsulini, this scene is too inciting.

"...Recently, I've been thinking that Akihisa is viewing me as a girl."

"You're thinking too much, Hideyoshi is Hideyoshi."

"Mn, just like Yuuji said. Hideyoshi's gender is 'Hideyoshi', neither a male nor a female."

"...I don't mean that."

Eh? Am I mistaken?

"Hai, ay..."

"...!!(*Dripping sounds*)"

"Ha, Hazuki! You can't change here as well! Muttsulini will die due to blood loss!"

Though he has lost quite a lot of blood, Muttsulini still looks like he's extremely happy as he presses against his nose.
