Chapter 1: What To Do For Culture Festival?

Aren't we supposed to decide what we're going to do for the culture festival soon?

Oh, is it that time of the year already?

I've always wanted to do a refreshment booth with the class.

Ooh, me too, me too!

We only did class exhibits back in middle school. Selling something sounds fun.

What about you, Ichigo and Chad? Have you put any thought into it?

Hm.

I don't mind either way. Did you have something you wanted to do?

A classroom café!

Wow, that's so unoriginal.

I want to do an okonomiyaki booth! What if we let the customers pick their own ingredients?

We should have bananas and red bean paste! Oh, how about having the option to put ice cream on it instead of the savory sauce?

I'm not so sure about that.

We can come up with some good ideas on our way home! Ichigo, Chad, you guys have to think of something too, okay?

Uh, sure.

Hey there! Fancy seeing you all together.

Sounded like you were having a fun conversation. Mind if I ask what you were talking about?

We were discussing ideas on what our class could do for this year's culture festival.

Oh, that does sound fun! It's one of those events you can only experience as students.

Did you have something in mind?

Of course! I've always wanted to perform a theatrical play!

Well, that's too bad. We were all talking about setting up a refreshment booth.

We're leaning towards serving food. Doesn't it sound fun?

Oh, I see. You're one of those people.

But you have to remember that this is a dog-eat-dog world. There are times when we must fight for our own purpose.

I want to play the main role in a theatrical performance and stand in the spotlight! I'll enjoy this youthful event to the fullest!

You're with me, right, Ichigo?

Why would I be?

Did you really think you'd get your way? Don't try to force others into doing what you want just for your own selfish reasons!

Geez, talk about stingy. You know, it's important to listen to the opinions of the minority too.

Listening to someone's opinion and forcing it on others are completely different.

Calm down. It's not like we're gonna decide right this moment. There's no use arguing here.
