Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 413 You are busy and I am busy
Friday afternoon.

A small truck drove into Jingao, slowed down for a moment, and stopped behind the teaching building.

The driver got out of the car and looked up at the simple greenhouse covered with a blue raincoat, and then at the busy students underneath. After waiting for a while, he was surprised to find that no one came to unload the goods.

He grabbed a passing student and asked, "Where is the person in charge here? The wood has been delivered."

After saying that, he pointed to the truck behind him.

"Uh... just wait a minute."

The student he grabbed ran away quickly, and after a while, several more students hurried over and circled around his truck.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, no problem, just unload." the driver said.

"So you still have to move there by yourself?" He heard one of the girls mutter.

"Unloading and moving will cost extra. Do you need it?"

The girl made a face with her companion next to her and said nothing.

"I'm going to call some boys over," another person said.

"Girls can move it too."

"It looks very heavy at first glance, doesn't it?"

"It's not heavy," the driver said. "If it's too heavy, how can it be lifted when it's made into a lantern base?"

The girl who spoke before and her companion dragged down a bundle of wood and tried it. They found that it was not too heavy, so they lifted it up together.

"Such a long piece of wood needs to be cut. How many pieces should each class get?"

"Whatever you want, let them pick it up by themselves. We can just carry it to the temporary warehouse and store it."

"Oh oh."

After several trips back and forth, the driver finished moving all the wooden boards from the back of the pickup truck. The driver then took the delivery receipt from the cab and asked for someone to sign it.

"Hey, sign? I can't do it, team leader... Hey, where's the team leader?"

The student who was pulled was a little at a loss. He looked around and suddenly pointed at the teaching building next to him.

"Go to the executive committee on the second floor and find someone to sign it."

"So troublesome..."

The driver muttered something and looked up again. He didn't know which window he meant.

He wanted to ask more clearly, but the person had already run away, so he had no choice but to go upstairs first.

When passing under one of the greenhouses, a bright golden color caught his eye.

Looking over, I saw an incredibly beautiful blonde girl, sitting cross-legged on the floor covered with plastic sheeting, her eyes wide open, like an elf who had stumbled into this place by mistake.

"Zhenmu, the people from the executive committee said that the wood has been delivered. You can carry it with me."

"Eh? Wood? Can we two girls lift it..."

"It's very light, come here."

"Ok."

Haixing stood up and followed his classmates, then glanced at the middle-aged man walking by outside without paying attention.

When we came to the temporary warehouse, the wood that had just been delivered was piled up on the plastic sheeting.

"You lift that end."

"Oh." Haixing walked in and worked with her to lift the other end of the wood, and found that it was indeed not very heavy.

"Did it take so much?"

"It's okay, it's going to take a lot of wood just to support the base, and you also have to make a supporting... uh, structure."

The female classmate who came with her was relatively strong and could even raise one hand and make random gestures in mid-air with the other hand.

Haixing still remembered the design drawings she had seen before, and could roughly understand what she was drawing.

"It's not that high."

"more or less."

When we moved the wood to the shed where Class C was located, there were piles of stuff everywhere on the floor, and it took some time to clean them up.

"Let's put it here first."

"Oh."

Starfish put down the wood and shook his arms slightly.

Although it is not very heavy, it is still a bit laborious to carry it for such a distance.

She took a short break and glanced toward one of the second-floor windows before getting back to work.

"Eh……"

In the window, the person she wanted to see also leaned forward and looked around.

He quickly looked here, their eyes met, he paused briefly, and then looked away.

Are you looking for someone...

Looking for someone, but can't find one.

After scanning again, there was still no result. Looking at the place where Haixing was standing just now, he found that she was also gone, which made Naruse even more upset.

Of course, he wasn't angry with her.

"Bro."

Behind him, the driver transporting the wood urged again, "Have you confirmed it? You can sign for it."

Naruse turned around and glanced at the noisy activity room before looking at the driver in front of him.

"I have seen the wood, but the quantity and quality need further confirmation. Please wait a moment."

"It's just a matter of signing your name!"

"This is the material we are going to use at the Tsudaka Festival, so we can't be careless."

While secretly cursing the missing item team leader in his mind, Naruse forced a smile on his face. After being so busy, Naruse felt like he was already a little schizophrenic.

"It'll be quick to confirm, it won't take long. Sorry."

"Hey! I have other things to give..."

The truck driver sighed heavily and frowned again, not hiding his dissatisfaction in front of a room full of high school students.

But no one has time to talk to him, everyone is busy.

One of the tall girls wearing glasses glanced at him, then looked at the laptop in front of him, and the keyboard was clicking.

The work piled up so much that Naruse didn't have time to go down and confirm it himself, not to mention that the pile of wood had already been divided.

After looking at the other people in the activity room, it seemed that none of them were free, so he had to find the contact information of the leader of the item group and give him a call.

But no one answered the phone for a long time. He scratched his hair and took a deep breath.

The truck driver was still looking at him eagerly, and Naruse couldn't just sign for it ignorantly - this was something that others were responsible for.

He planned to go down and ask himself, at least the quantity must be correct.

"I'll go down and have a look..."

Just as he was about to walk out of the activity room, someone ran in from outside and almost bumped into him.

"Wow!"

The other party took two steps back, then immediately leaned forward again, still holding the phone in his hand, "Chairman, do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"

"..."

Looking around his face and scanning the sweat on his forehead, Naruse swallowed his dissatisfaction and nodded quickly without asking him why he didn't answer the phone.

"This batch of wood for the second grade has also been delivered. Did you confirm it just now?"

"Confirmed. The quantity is correct and the quality is okay."

"Okay." Naruse breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to the truck driver who had been waiting next to him, "Please sign for it."

"Ah, I was just looking for him! Someone just asked me to go..."

"It's okay." Naruse patted him on the shoulder, "I'll explain it later. Let's do things first."

"Ok."

After solving the problem here, when he turned around, there were still a lot of invisible problems waiting for him on the seat, and Naruse was very anxious.

Today is Friday, and preparations for the Tsudaka Festival have been underway for a week.

The relaxation of the first two days was gone by the third day.

He was looking forward to feedback on the work of each group, but he didn't expect the feedback to come so violently that it overwhelmed him.

He struggled through a large number of questions and found out that it was already Thursday.

Get submerged again, struggle out again, it's Friday...

"Chairman?"

Morimi, who was in front of the notebook, looked over but didn't stop holding his hands.

"..."

Naruse shook his head and quickly sat back in his seat, continuing to look at the unknown version of the promotional materials that the publicity team had given him 10 minutes ago.

Just looking at it, his heart ached again.

He felt that he didn't make any tricky requests, he just asked them to introduce the Tsugao Festival, an event that has lasted for more than a hundred years, in a simple, clear and easy way.

However, every time he called back, the expression on the face of the leader of the propaganda team made him doubt this again.

Is it really that his demands are too high?
"let me see."

Morimi suddenly came closer.

Naruse gave her the promotional materials in his hand and glanced at the computer in front of her. "How is the budget summary?"

Morimi frowned, he thought she was in trouble, and she threw the things in her hands on the table.

"What is written here?"

"..."

Naruse glanced at the head of the publicity team next to the printer, who shrank his head, and said calmly, "Of course it's the promotional materials for the Tsuga Festival."

"Then shouldn't the focus be on Tsudaka and the Tsudaka Festival? This long paragraph introducing Tsuzen apples is an advertisement for the orchard? It's not the apple picking season yet."

He already understood her plan, "When it comes to Jinqian, I have to mention Jinqian's apples."

"Are you confused too?"

Morimi sneered, "Does this have anything to do with the Tsudaka Festival? People who get the flyer and see this long description of Tsuzen Apple will buy an apple and eat it while watching the lantern parade?"

"I've missed the point a bit..."

"No, it's completely wrong."

Naruse sighed and raised his voice: "Akihara-san." The propaganda team leader Kana Akihara, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, finally turned to look at him openly, "Chairman..."

"This information is still somewhat different from what I want. Please revise it again."

The cold-faced accounting team leader next to him scolded her without naming her. She couldn't say a word and nodded in agreement.

Naruse couldn't relax.

He agreed quickly, but he refused to change his problem. He didn't know how many times he had been taught this lesson in the past two days, so he had to talk a little more.

"Akihara-san, if you are not good at this style of writing, you can 'refer' to last year's promotional materials. The key point is to learn the structure, word choice, and sentence structure."

"OK……"

"——Do you really understand?"

Morimi spoke again, "Next Monday, the chairman is going to visit the mayor and accept an interview with the TV station together. If I can't even make a handy leaflet by then, I think there will be many people Disappointed in us."

"..."

The propaganda team leader's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Ichiyo, that's enough." Naruse said.

Morimi crossed his arms and said nothing.

"There are still two or three days. I believe that Akihara-san will not embarrass me." Naruse said.

Akihara Kana nodded seriously.

"Then please."

After a while, Naruse finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her getting up to look for promotional materials from previous years.

He and Sen saw that one was a good person and the other was a bad person. They had been in a weird mood for a long time, but it finally had some effect.

"Why is she the only one left in the publicity team..." Morimi leaned over and whispered.

"Others went to draw posters and put up posters."

Naruse leaned forward and also lowered his voice, "The activity room is such a big place, so we can't all be crowded here."

"She was the one who stayed... I remember her art level was quite high, but judging from the past two days, she really can't write articles."

"The publicity team is all about the same," Naruse said. "She might be the top one among them."

Morijian sighed, and suddenly turned his eyes to look at him:

"I've taken a lot of blame for you in the past two days. Anyone you want to scold, I've scolded you at least once."

"Isn't Miss Kazuyo acting in her true colors?"

"Then I usually hide it." Morimi sneered, "I don't know how many people hate me now."

"Then have you had enough scolding?"

She hummed softly, "It's okay."

"Then we both gain something and it's even."

Naruse sat up straight again, distanced himself, and his voice returned to normal.

"So, how's the budget coming together?"

Morimi also entered working mode, "There's something wrong."

Naruse looked at her.

"I checked with the team members. There is no problem with this part of the budget we made. It is because there are many deviations in the data collected by the student union. It is their problem."

Hearing that the student union was involved again, Naruse got a headache. "Then go find their accountant. There are a lot of things to report next Monday, and budget is one of them, so hurry up."

"Yes, Chairman."

Morimi stood up, closed the computer, left it in the aisle next to him, walked past him, and waved to him again at the door.

Naruse raised his hand and continued to work.

After staring at his focused side face for a few moments, Morijian hugged the computer and turned around to leave.

The activity room of the student union is on the third floor. When he came to the stairs, Mori Jian went upstairs, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps from below, which was a bit familiar.

She glanced down.

"Light."

"Huh?... Kazuye."

Hearing the voice, Takigawa Hikaru raised his head and took a few steps forward, "Do you want to go back to the classroom?"

"No, I have something to go to the student union."

"You look like this...are you looking for trouble?"

She smiled and said, "Almost."

"Then I'll be with you."

Hikaru Takigawa followed.

The two continued to go upstairs, and Morimi asked, "Do you have anything else to do? I see you were in a hurry just now."

"I have something to do, but I'm not in a hurry. You can find Harumi later."

"He's very busy right now."

"Yes, there are many problems."

Arriving at the student union, Morimi got straight to the point and quickly connected with the accountant of the student union.

Both the student council president and the vice-president went out to work, and Hikari Takikawa chatted with the secretary who stayed behind.

"It seems easy to be a secretary."

"No... I just want to have some free time now."

"At least you don't need to help make lanterns." Hikaru Takigawa said, and smiled at her again, "Are you bored? Why don't you go down and have a look."

"I'd better stay here. The president may come to me for anything at any time."

"Okay. It seems like your hairband has been changed. Where did you buy it? It's so cute."

"Hey! You found out..."

Bang bang, the accountant of the student union stared at the screen, typing on the keyboard with his hands, sweating all over his head.

"Wait a minute, Mori sees classmate..."

"I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to be in a hurry either. Take your time."

After staring sideways at the computer screen next to him for a while, Mori's eyes felt a little sore, so he closed his eyes and took a rest, then looked at Hikaru Takigawa on the other side.

"Guang, please go over first. I'll still have a while here."

"Ah... well."

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the accountant glancing over here, and she added, "When Chunhai asked, he said it was too noisy over there. I'll stay in the student union for a while and then go down after I'm done."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Okay."

After saying goodbye to the three of them, she went downstairs and went straight to the activity room.

"I'm back~"

Naruse turned to look at her, nodded, and then continued to explain things to the members of the chore team next to him.

After a while, he finally got around to talking to her.

"How's it going?"

"Everything went well." Hikaru Takigawa said, "They agreed and will urgently rehearse a drama and perform it at the Budokan."

Naruse breathed a sigh of relief, and the boulder weighing on his heart became slightly lighter.

"If the band we contacted before suddenly went to travel abroad, there would be no need to be so nervous... Guang will continue to follow up on what happens next to ensure that the drama department can perform on stage."

He paused and said, "Let them stop innovating and just perform what they are best at. It doesn't matter if the style is a little exaggerated."

She raised her hand and saluted, "Yes, Chairman."

"Go back."

She glared over, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm going to take a look outside. If you need anything, come to me."

"Ah."

After leaving the activity room, Hikaru Takigawa went to the drama department again to convey Naruse's wishes.

"What I'm good at performing...can I do that? That's the Tsudaka Festival stage."

"Don't worry about the performance. Just be wonderful. No one will mind the content."

"Ok."

After leaving here, Takigawa Hikari walked around and came to the back of the teaching building.

Under the simple greenhouses lined up in a row, various classes are taking their time to make lanterns, and the prototypes can already be seen.

"Light."

When passing by Class C of the second year, someone called her.

"Naoko." Hikaru Takigawa stopped, walked next to her, and stared at the lantern parts in her hand, "It's already been done to this extent."

"uh-huh."

Shangzi smiled, and then asked: "Did Guang just come from Chunhai?"

"Well... that's about it. I just finished running errands for him."

Hikaru Takigawa also sat down on the plastic sheet and waved to the starfish not far away.

"Is Harumi very busy?"

"Very busy."

Shangzi nodded slowly, "I'll probably be busy until about six o'clock today."

"It's been like this for the past few days." Takigawa Hikaru responded.

"So, let's go home after the dinner today." Naoko looked at her and said, "I want Harumi to rest early."

Takigawa Hikaru was startled for a moment, then remembered that today was already Friday.

"Well... time flies so fast, a week has passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes."

She agreed, and Shang Zi continued to be busy with the matter at hand.

"But the preparations for the Tsudaka Festival are only halfway through...next week is the most critical time."
