Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Some people in the line couldn't stand the long wait and started booing and complaining. The students in Class E were distressed but didn't know what to do.

Similar to the situation with Cloud Snow Tea, the long queue itself is a form of advertising, attracting even more people to line up.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the entire corridor is blocked by people queuing up.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, "This can't go on..."

"Go find the person in charge, I'll coordinate things on-site." Dong Yunshan sucked on his finger and whistled loudly to attract everyone's attention. "Please cooperate and line up in an orderly manner! The activities here are not time-limited, so you can go and look around elsewhere first, and come back later!"

Yukino Yukinoshita found the person in charge of Class E to learn what had happened and discuss subsequent countermeasures.

Soon, Meguri Shiromeguri arrived with Student Council council members and, together with Dong Yunshan, directed the people at the back of the line to other locations.

After resolving the matter here, the two went to check out the other floors just in case.

Fortunately, such overcrowding is not common. There were many people in Class 2-J, but perhaps to make a good impression on the girls who made more than 90% of the class, the people in line were very patient.

There are also some students, like those in Class 3-B, who fared much worse.

They decorated the walls to resemble caves, creating a minecart adventure where passengers could sit inside a slowly moving minecart and admire the interior decorations and three-dimensional models.

There are mineral and crystal skulls illuminated by LED lights, rocks made of styrofoam, and bats flying around suspended on wires...

As a result, almost no one showed interest.

However, it wasn't all for naught. Yukino Yukinoshita noticed that the stairs leading to the rooftop had been piled with props and odds and ends by the third-year students.

Because more than one class is storing miscellaneous items here, the whole place is extremely messy. It's not just unsightly; if it were to suddenly collapse, that would be dangerous.

Yukino Yukinoshita contacted the inventory Science Track to tidy up as soon as possible to prevent any accidents.

Dong Yunshan wanted to help move things, but the items were too messy and couldn't be sorted out in a short time.

"Ah!" came a mournful cry from the side, "My nemesis, you're actually here."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan turned her head and saw Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, who looked grief-stricken. "Huh?"

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza wiped away his tears. "Where have you been all these days?"

"Busy with work..." Dong Yunshan pointed to his armband, "Executive Committee."

"No wonder I couldn't find you in the Valley of the End..."

"You mean the activity room, right?" Dong Yunshan said helplessly. "So what's wrong?"

"Our class is preparing to perform a play at the Cultural Festival!"

"So...?"

"When it comes to drama, scripts are indispensable."

Dong Yunshan immediately had a bad feeling. "Could it be...?"

"When the classmates were discussing it, they said they didn't want to perform in ordinary plays and wanted to write their own original scripts," Yoshiteru Zaimokuza lamented. "As the only one in the class with creative experience, I have no choice but to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"Let me think..." Dong Yunshan sighed, "You cast the girl you like as the female lead?"

"...That's right." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza lowered his head.

"Then she created a male lead specifically for herself."

"... Yes." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza's voice was filled with sorrow.

"Then the classmates decided on someone else for the male lead."

"..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza was speechless.

Dong Yunshan sighed and facepalmed, "You even completely revamped your script?"

"How did you know?"

"I guessed." Dong Yunshan's eyes held a helpless sympathy. "I didn't want to guess right either."

"You guessed so accurately, why didn't you tell me sooner!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza complained. "I wanted you to help me correct things a long time ago, but..."

"I feel like even if I help you, you won't do what I say." Dong Yunshan shook her head. "Look on the bright side, as long as the class activities are popular, isn't that enough?"

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, filled with righteous indignation, said, "That's the problem. Because they made too many changes to my script and wouldn't let me perform on stage, the event was completely unpopular!"

Dong Yunshan: "..."

"The causal relationship is completely invalid. The fact that the revised story is unpopular does not mean that the original story would have been popular," Yukino Yukinoshita pointed out mercilessly. "Instead of spending time thinking about things that haven't happened yet, you should think about what kind of revisions you can make now."

"Indeed, why not learn from the experiences of other classes? For example..." Dong Yunshan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "For example, our class's musical. The script was also heavily revised, and the roles weren't the original choices, but it was still quite popular."

"Could it be..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza's eyes lit up, "That the female characters are portrayed better than me?"

"Although I don't know what kind of female character you portrayed..." Dong Yunshan shrugged, "But only boys appeared in our class's musical."

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, immediately lost interest. "What's the point of that...?"

"You're here to learn techniques, not to look at pretty girls," Dong Yunshan reminded him. "You're revising the script, not the light novel."

"What a joke!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza waved his hand dismissively. "As a light novel author, I would never read a work without beautiful girls!"

"First, there are light novels without cute girls; second, learning from others can help you improve; reading different types of works will help your own writing; finally..." Dong Yunshan pointed out the key point, "You should be working as a screenwriter to improve the class play, not as a light novel writer."

"You're right..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza puffed out his chest, "But I will never give up my commitment as a light novel author!"

Dong Yunshan: "... Whatever makes you happy."

Chapter 463 Dating Reservation

The second day of the Cultural Festival is open to the public.

Many residents living nearby, students from other schools, and students who want to apply to Sobu High School came to visit.

In addition, it was a Saturday, and many people were on holiday, so the campus was bustling with activity that was not usually seen.

The largest group consisted of middle school students, families with children, elderly people from the neighborhood, and children who, while not quite understanding what was happening, came to join in the fun because it seemed lively.

Consequently, the workload of the executive committee has also increased significantly.

The health care team members worked with the physical education teachers to set up long tables in front of the two school gates to receive visitors and prevent dangerous individuals from sneaking in.

The documentary team, carrying cameras, navigated through the crowded streets to capture footage.

The personnel coordination team is busy tallying the voting results for the winning teams and local awards.

The materials Science Track moved large items, organized small items, and ran back and forth...

The executive committee members took turns on duty according to the pre-determined schedule, ensuring that everyone had time to participate in class activities and enjoy the Cultural Festival while maintaining the progress of the work.

Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita also had some free time, but Yukino Yukinoshita was not interested in participating in class activities, and Dong Yunshan could not bear the expectant gaze of Hina Ebina. So the two wandered around, enjoying the Cultural Festival while checking for any emergencies that needed to be dealt with.

The first thing to check is the staircase leading to the rooftop from the fourth floor. Yesterday it was piled with clutter, but it has been cleaned up now.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction. She hadn't walked far when she saw the sign for Class 3-E.

[Pet Lodge: Meow~ Woof~]

The students in Class E each brought their own pets, and the classroom walls were covered with photos of these animals. Besides the most common cats, dogs, rabbits, and hamsters, there were also ferrets, stoats, weasels, snakes, turtles, and more...

They really do keep all sorts of things.

One of the photos caught Yukino Yukinoshita's eye.

"This is..." Dong Yunshan leaned closer for a look, "A Ragdoll cat?"

"Ragdoll cats are gentle, quiet, friendly, patient, and love companionship." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced around the classroom, then looked at the photos on the wall, going back and forth several times. "Their fur is long and fluffy, very soft to the touch, and they relax when held, making them perfect companions for children growing up..."

Dong Yunshan suggested with a smile, "Shall we go in and take a look?"

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan tilted her head. "I don't remember you being afraid of snakes."

"I remember you were helpless against snakes."

"They're locked in boxes, and there aren't as many as at the previous pet expo." Dong Yunshan paused, "But there are dogs inside..."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. "Let's go inside and take a look."

"Aren't you helpless with dogs?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently clutched the hem of his shirt. "With you by my side."

Dong Yunshan paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "That's true."

"I feel like you could beat a dog."

Dong Yunshan's smile froze, "This isn't right."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up in surprise. "You can't beat me?"

"That's even more wrong, how could I possibly lose..." Dong Yunshan opened her mouth, "Let's not talk about this."

The two of them entered Class E, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

Dong Yunshan looked back at them one by one, and the number of curious glances immediately decreased.

Using his body to block the dog's direction for Yukino Yukinoshita, Dong Yunshan took out his phone to take a picture of Yukino Yukinoshita and the cat.

At the cat cafe, Yukino Yukinoshita was very restrained, trying her best not to disturb the cats, and mostly just meowing with them.

Now at school, she is even more restrained, forcing herself to only admire.

After watching for a while, and taking a few more photos with the flash off her phone, Yukino Yukinoshita got up to leave.

Dong Yunshan asked curiously, "Won't you watch a little longer?"

"Others... will see us..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. "After we're done here, let's go to the cat cafe together."

"Okay, let's ask Komachi and Yui Yuigahama ..." Dong Yunshan was halfway through his sentence when he saw Yui Yuigahama.

"Little Yukino, Yunshan!" Yui Yuigahama noticed them too. "I was just looking for you!"

"What's wrong?" Dong Yunshan thought something had happened.

"This is it." Yui Yuigahama showed her phone screen. "Komachi took a really great photo before~"

It was a photo of someone holding a Cloud Snow Tea, with the lively scene of Cultural Festival outside the window in the background.

Because it was filmed upstairs, the clear sky and crowds, along with the gradient of bright red cheese and strawberries, gave the whole scene a particularly youthful feel.

"It's really good." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded approvingly. "If the windows were removed and the crowd were further away during filming, it would probably feel even better."

"That's what Komachi said too!" Yui Yuigahama blinked. "So I was thinking, why don't we take a picture on the rooftop? It'll definitely be great for promotional purposes!"

"The rooftop?" Dong Yunshan glanced in the direction of the stairs.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "Isn't the door to the rooftop locked?"

To prevent students from falling freely, the doors to the school rooftop are usually locked.

"The lock on the door leading to the rooftop from the central staircase is broken," Yui Yuigahama whispered. "Many girls know that..."

Yukino Yukinoshita has few friends, so naturally she doesn't know this.

"Let's forget about it." Dong Yunshan shook his head. "Since it's a locked place, there's no need to go there specifically to take pictures for publicity; it might even backfire."

"Oh yeah~" Yui Yuigahama, then looked at Class E, "I'll go check out Class E then, see you later~"

Watching Yui Yuigahama enter Class E, Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the time. "... It's almost time to start."

Dong Yunshan recalled the event schedule, "To the stadium?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... Hmm."

When the two arrived at the stadium, it was already packed with spectators, and there were even more standing spectators at the back.

In other words, there are no fans; otherwise, there would probably be several hanging from above.

"Ah, Chairmen... you've come at the perfect time." The head of the personnel coordination team, who was waiting on site, walked over. "There aren't enough chairs, so many people are just standing and watching—should we reorganize the lines?"

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "No need."

"But won't that be too noisy?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was distant. "... It will quiet down soon."

PS: Bonus update

Chapter 464 Radiant Light

As if to confirm Yukino Yukinoshita's words, the noisy crowd realized that the performance was about to begin and gradually quieted down.

Women carrying various musical instruments and dressed in gorgeous gowns appeared one after another, exuding an aura completely different from that of high school students.

Walking at the very back was Haruno Yukinoshita, dressed in a fitted long dress.
