The Cultural Festival Comes to a Close
Shuichi Kanda wasn't against Ayanokoji; he just thought Sae was cute too.
After a fierce internal struggle, Chabashira Sae simply gave up and acted recklessly. Although she knew her thoughts were wrong, she just couldn't control herself.
"Because I don't want to see you sitting next to a girl, it would annoy me, okay?"
However, Shuichi Kanda was not angry; on the contrary, he was very happy.
"I'm so happy that Sae- chan is jealous!"
Hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Chabashira breathed a sigh of relief, but then quickly realized, "Why am I behaving like a little girl?"
However, she soon found herself unable to relax.
"Although I'm very happy, Sae- chan's punishment can't be skipped."
"What... what exactly do you want?"
"Nothing?" Shuichi Kanda felt the conversation sounded familiar, but he didn't care. Instead, he grinned mischievously. "I just thought you Sae- chan, were interested in the class's cosplay cafe, but were too shy to go in. So, I just had you participate as an organizer. Isn't that perfect?"
"No way! I can't handle this kind of thing that's for young people!" Chabashira Sae immediately refused.
"It's okay, there's an outfit you can definitely pull off."
Shuichi Kanda great certainty, and Chabashira Sae immediately realized what it was.
"You... you don't want me to play the role of a maid, do you?"
Clap clap clap clap!
"Sae- chan is so clever. And you don't need to entertain the guests; you just need to be a mascot and take pictures with them."
Shuichi Kanda clapped his hands and casually revealed his plan.
Since Chabashira-sensei had no training, he was definitely not suited to cooking or serving as a waiter, so Shuichi Kanda didn't even consider it.
If you can't attract customers, can't cook, and can't be a waiter, then being a decorative vase shouldn't be a problem, right?
To be honest, Shuichi Kanda is really looking forward to seeing Chabashira-sensei in a maid outfit.
Moreover, needless to say, Chabashira-sensei was definitely unwilling from the bottom of his heart, Shuichi Kanda felt excited just thinking about that unwilling but forced expression.
So, Shuichi Kanda checked the time and saw that there was still an hour and a half before the Cultural Festival ended, so Shuichi Kanda transferred 200,000 Private Points directly.
"Thus, the contract is established."
"You... you're so despicable, Kanda! You actually took advantage of school rules!"
"Alright, let's go."
Without giving Chabashira-sensei a chance to refuse, Shuichi Kanda grabbed Chabashira's wrist and headed straight for the changing room, where a maid outfit had been specially reserved for her, exactly the same in style and size as the one he had given her before.
A few minutes later, Chabashira-sensei's voice came from the locker room.
"I... I've changed."
As she spoke, Chabashira-sensei walked out of the locker room with a flushed face, a sight that left Shuichi Kanda somewhat stunned.
So cute! This is definitely a case of unexpected charm.
The teacher, usually so aloof, is now shyly dressed in a maid outfit; the scene is truly captivating.
Shuichi Kanda was conflicted about whether or not to release Chabashira-sensei.
Then, steeling his heart, he made up his mind.
Release them! Let them out!
They dare to make things difficult for me! They need to be taught a lesson!
Besides, maid outfits aren't anything shameful; there are maid cafes everywhere in Akihabara.
Of course, most importantly, it's Shuichi Kanda who wants to see it, and not only does he want to see it himself, but he also wants to see it privately, so he needs to practice, otherwise she definitely won't be willing to wear it for him in private.
"Let's go to the coffee shop."
The maid-dressed Chabashira-sensei followed Shuichi Kanda, her face flushed, and hurried towards the cafe, causing a stir among the guests in the corridor.
Sae- chan, you're so cute! The first person to notice and recognize her was Class Ichinose's class teacher, Chie Hoshinomiya.
She and Chabashira were classmates in high school and then colleagues for several years, but this was the first time she had ever seen Chabashira dressed like this.
However, Chabashira couldn't care less about her at the moment and just quickly followed Shuichi Kanda.
"What do you want me to do here...?"
After entering the coffee shop, Chabashira finally spoke up and asked a question.
"You don't need to do anything, just stand still in the corner."
"Wh-what?"
"Since Sae- chan hasn't practiced, she's bound to mess up whatever she does, so she should just be a pretty face and take pictures with people."
"I'm sure the teachers and staff at the school are quite interested in your outfit, Sae- chan!"
Meanwhile, news of Chabashira Sae appearing disguised as a maid at the Class 2-A Co-op Naked Cafe had already spread throughout the entire school via Hoshinomiya's phone.
Chapter 364 Cultural Festival, Curtain Falls
The appearance of Ms. Chabashira-sensei in her maid outfit completely ignited the atmosphere, especially among the faculty and staff who had come out of curiosity about the students' concept café.
Since these people probably wouldn't see Chabashira-sensei in her maid outfit again, everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of her, with Hoshinomiya crowding at the very front, extremely excited.
So, adults flocked in like waves, and the shop was soon packed with people.
Then, the coffee shop immediately started the second phase.
For over 1000 points, you can enter the café and get a close look at Chabashira-sensei in her maid outfit. And for an additional 2000 Private Points, you can take a photo with Chabashira-sensei.
Compared to the 1000 points per student photo, the cost of a photo with Chabashira-sensei is 2000 points.
The students in Class A were initially worried that the price might deter some people, but the moment the solution was announced, the café was packed with customers.
Meanwhile, people were already paying to take photos with Chabashira-sensei.
However, the number of people that can be accommodated in a classroom is limited, so the long queues outside the corridor not only did not decrease, but became more and more lively.
"The number is truly astonishing!"
Even Kushida was stunned by this insane Matoba.
"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be so effective. Sae's unexpected charm is really popular."
Shuichi Kanda smiled, showing no awareness of being the mastermind behind everything.
"That's amazing! And since there's only one hour left in the Cultural Festival, even if other classes wanted to use similar tactics, they couldn't possibly do it."
Kushida exclaimed with pride, her Shuichi Kanda. "This is my boyfriend! He's amazing, truly amazing!"
"Please do not push! Please line up here! Please do not push!"
On the other side, the boys, led by Sudo and Albert, quickly formed a human wall to try to get the guests to line up, but because some adults were still trying to see into the classroom, the group gradually gathered.
Being surrounded by a large number of acquaintances and forced to pose for photos with them was undoubtedly a form of public torture for Chabashira Sae.
A growing sense of shame welled up inside her, making her want to run away immediately.
But even if the school ignores her rule-breaking behavior, Shuichi Kanda will definitely find another opportunity to punish her severely.
Damn it, that little rascal!
The time finally came to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the chaotic Cultural Festival finally came to an end.
As previously stated, the checkout application was forcibly logged out, and subsequent revenue could not be calculated.
Within an hour of Chabashira-sensei's appearance, he was asked to have 63 photos taken, surpassing Kushida to take first place.
The results of this Cultural Festival will not be confirmed until 6 PM, two hours later.
The customers in the store all followed the rules and left the store.
Before leaving, the guests all expressed that it was very interesting and they had a lot of fun, which were all positive comments.
For students who have worked hard all day, these warm words will seep into their hearts, and even the fatigue accumulated from a busy day will seem to disappear.
Seeing the departing guests, Chabashira-sensei let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then slumped into a chair next to the table.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sae- chan."
Shuichi Kanda placed a blue drink on the table next to Chabashira Sae.
After an hour of being teased, Chabashira-sensei was no longer bothered by the other party's flirting, so he picked up the water that Shuichi Kanda gulp.
As for the color, she didn't care at all. In any case, in public, the other party wouldn't give her anything strange to drink.
"Chabashira-sensei, may we take a picture with you?"
The event had barely ended when the students from Class A, who were working as staff, surrounded them.
Not only because Chabashira-sensei's maid outfit is so rare, but they also hope to have a beautiful photo taken while wearing their favorite cosplay outfit.
For a moment, the thought of immediately fleeing this place of trouble arose in Chabashira Sae's mind again.
However, Shuichi Kanda had already seen through her thoughts.
"If Sae- chan ran around outside wearing that outfit, she might attract even more attention."
Shuichi Kanda's teasing words made Chabashira Sae freeze, and she sat back down after raising her buttocks halfway.
Forget it, love however you want. I'm tired. Let's just destroy it.
Chabashira Sae lay completely flat, letting the girls from Class A play with her as they pleased.
As for the boys, they didn't have the guts to squeeze in.
After a while of commotion, all the students in Class A started packing up their things together. Because there were so many people, they finished packing up quickly.
At 6 p. m., the school also announced the revenue figures for this Cultural Festival.
First, there are the grades as a class unit.
The top four places are respectively Class 2-A, Class 2-D, Class 3-A, and Class 2-B. Each class will receive an additional 100 Class Points.
The fifth to eighth place winners are respectively from Class 1-A, Class 2-C, Class 3-B, and Class 1-C, each receiving an additional fifty Class Points.
The final four are: Class 1-B, Class 3-D, Class 3-C, and Class 1-D. Their Class Points remain unchanged.
Although the concept cafes of Class 2-A and Class 2-D had some overlap in ideas, they were able to both take first and second place, which shows that Horikita and Ryuen's strategy was quite good.
Pretending to be competitors, then jointly attracting customers and generating revenue—that guy Ryuen must have realized this situation before cooperating with Horikita.
Moreover, that guy didn't hesitate to use a self-inflicted injury tactic halfway through. If Shuichi Kanda hadn't dragged Chabashira-sensei out for a spin at the end, the sales revenue probably wouldn't have caught up with the Ryuen class.
The fact that none of the shops involved in the group-based program suffered losses suggests that those who dare to create something as a group are all very confident individuals.
"We came in first place! That's awesome!"
"As expected, Chabashira-sensei's cosplay hit a lot of people's sweet spot~"
While the students in the class were still discussing, Shuichi Kanda secretly slipped away and ran into Chabashira-sensei on his way to the Student Council.
"Hey, Sae- chan, you've worked hard."
Shuichi Kanda greeted him with a smile, only to be glared at immediately. She was clearly angry, acting like a child.
"Do you know that when I got back to the staff room, I found my photos all over the other teachers' desks? And do you think I was talked to by so many teachers in such a short time, that they brought up the maid outfit so many times, and that I lost face so many times?"
Listening to Chabashira-sensei's angry complaints, Shuichi Kanda just chuckled without restraint.
You're still laughing!
Seeing Shuichi Kanda's undisguised smile, Chabashira reached out and grabbed Shuichi Kanda's ear, but Shuichi Kanda clearly wouldn't give her the chance and grabbed her hand directly.
"Are you trying to die?!"
The moment his little hand was grabbed, Chabashira panicked. He looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one was there, but he was still nervous.
"Let me go! If someone sees this, you might get expelled!"
Dismissal?
Who fired me?
Although Shuichi Kanda didn't care, it would definitely sound bad to Chabashira if it were exposed, since if a teacher-student relationship got out, the teachers would almost always be the ones to be criticized.
Although Shuichi Kanda didn't care, he had to consider the Chabashira's well-being.
"What a pity, he's only a junior in high school this year."
