Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 415 Interview
The two days of the weekend passed quickly. With these two days as a buffer, Naruse dealt with many accumulated problems.

Although I didn't get much rest because of this, it was still much more relaxed than in school.

On Monday, it rained heavily.

When he came to school, he used the morning and lunch breaks to find the person in charge of various tasks in Class A and inquired about the progress.

"All the parts will be completed tomorrow. If there are no problems with the trial assembly, we can start painting."

Although the school provides ten days of preparation time, the second-year students have experience and can generally complete the production in about seven or eight days, leaving enough buffer time to face accidents or make more detailed adjustments.

Not to mention the third graders, this will be their last time participating in the Tsudaka Festival, and what they have been thinking about from the beginning is how to improve.

As for the first graders, they are not so optimistic.

Making lanterns is simple, it is nothing more than setting up a frame and pasting a layer of paper, but this is for those with experience.It’s not easy for a first-timer to build a skeleton that can stand upright...

As Chairman of the Executive Committee, these are one of the things that Naruse has mastered and is troubled by.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard."

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window again, Naruse went downstairs and came to the student activity room.

"Chairman." As soon as he saw him coming, the propaganda team leader immediately showed him a newly made folded leaflet.

The visual design of the flyer was decided last week, and it has been delayed until now because of the content.

Now, the content issues have finally been resolved.

Although the structure of the content looks familiar...

Naruse glanced through it briefly and turned to the last page, which had the mayor's face and his handwritten message printed on it.

"No problem. Thank you for your hard work, Akihara-san."

The head of the publicity team breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked like he was about to cry.

Naruse had no time to comfort him, so he took the budget report from Morimi and looked through it.

"When are you going to visit the mayor?" she asked.

"It's still early." He turned a page, "We have to wait until..."

"——Chunhai."

Hikaru Takigawa appeared at the door of the activity room, "The people from the TV station are here."

"where is it?"

"I just entered the school, and now I'm shooting school material."

"I see."

Naruse turned his hands faster, glanced through the budget report, and stared at the last number in trance for a while.

"This year is really a big deal..."

"I'm never afraid of not having enough money, not finding a place to spend it. The chairman of the committee was creative and defrauded a large amount of sponsorship. Of course, we have to keep up with the expenses." said the accounting team leader.

He ignored her and put down the report in his hand. Hikari Takigawa, who had already walked to the window, turned around and said, "The people from the TV station are downstairs."

Naruse walked over and saw several transparent umbrellas first.

Under the umbrella, there is a camera on the shoulder, and a reporter looking at the camera and saying something.

"Don't worry, Chairman, we have dealt with all the shady things in advance." Hikaru Takigawa said in a low voice.

"..."

Naruse glanced at her sideways, "People from the TV station will definitely come up later, so don't talk nonsense in front of the camera."

"I know." Hikari Takigawa laughed.

"Especially during interviews."

"Hey, interview... me?"

"If I want to be interviewed, I will definitely choose someone more photogenic. There is a high chance that I will be interviewed."

"If you want to put it that way, Harumi is too."

"I……"

"——He is the chairman of the committee. No matter what, he will be interviewed." Morimi also walked over and looked down.

"Yes."

"It's almost time, let's go to the conference room." Naruse picked up his things and went there first.

Morimi soon followed with her computer in hand, and Hikaru Takigawa was with her.

Arriving at the conference room, Naruse sat alone, looking at the information in his hand, thinking about what to say during the meeting.

Below, the executive members of each group also came over one after another and took their seats during the greetings.

"Narase-san."

He raised his head and saw the student council president coming over, "Senior Yoshioka."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Senior sister, too." She sat next to her, "Such a heavy rain is really giving me a headache."

Naruse looked out the window and saw the rain falling heavily without stopping at all.

"How are we going to get to the city hall later? Should we go there by ourselves, or..."

"Along with the TV station's car, it was arranged by the city hall." Fumiko Yoshioka said, and looked at him again, "This must be Naruse-san's first interview. Are you nervous?"

"Fortunately."

She smiled and said, "I almost forgot that Naruse-san's mother is Miss Matsu Chiaki. She should have had similar experiences a long time ago."

"No." Naruse shook his head, "I have never faced the camera, but I have had a lot of contact with related personnel."

"Really, it's a unique experience... Speaking of which, if we can invite Naruse-san's mother to come, the Tsudaka Festival will definitely become more lively."

"She's not available."

"I think so." The student council president smiled, as if he just mentioned it casually.

The two chatted some more about work, and the conference room suddenly became noisy.

When I turned around, I saw someone from the TV station had come over and was standing at the door of the conference room taking pictures inside.

"I probably want to take some footage of the executive committee meeting," Fumiko Yoshioka said.

"Ah."

The photographer just took pictures without any instructions, and he didn't see the reporter who came with him. The two of them just pretended not to see him and continued to communicate about their work.

After a while, the lunch break bell rang, and the members of the executive committee had already arrived in the conference room.

In addition to them, there are also teachers from the school who are responsible for this matter who came to attend the regular meeting today.

The first half of the meeting is used to summarize the work of the previous week, and then to arrange the work for the coming week.

"...The design drawing of the folded leaflet has been sent to the printing factory. They will seize the time to print it and send it to the school before noon tomorrow." The propaganda team leader stood up and reported.

"it is good."

Naruse nodded, "Immediately distribute the flyers to team members after receiving them. Just like posters, distribute them to supermarkets, convenience stores, shopping malls and other places with high traffic. By the way, there are also stations..."

One after another, after finally explaining the work of the chore team, Naruse lowered his head and saw that he had finished talking about what was written in his notes.

"Then this is the end of today's regular meeting. The meeting is over -"

At the end of the regular meeting, he was pulled over by several committee members and asked about some work matters. After finishing the work, he returned to the activity room, only to find that someone from the TV station had come over.

"...I am really happy to be able to participate in this important event. I am deeply moved to see everyone working hard for a common goal."

Hikaru Takigawa stood in front of the camera and accepted the interview seriously.

Just when she caught a glimpse of him walking into the activity room, her eyebrows suddenly curved and she started laughing as she spoke.

"Ah, I'm sorry, can I do this again?"

"It's okay, it will be edited out."

The reporter turned around and saw Naruse, her eyes lit up immediately, and the photographer noticed and immediately turned the camera.

"This classmate, can I interview you?"

"Ah."

"What is your responsibility in the executive committee?"

"Point your fingers and your feet, and give orders."

"what?"

"I am the chairman."

"what!"

The interview with the chairman of the committee is still about those commonplace questions.

Naruse basically didn't answer anything, and he just made a few falsehoods when asked why he wanted to serve as chairman.

The interview did not last long. The reporter let them do as they pleased. The camera continued to film the daily work of the executive committee. Naruse clearly felt that the frequency of people from each group talking to him about things had become much more frequent.

"Harumi, look here." Morimi pushed the computer over.

Naruse looked at the screen and lowered his voice: "Do you also want to be on TV?"

"..."

With the camera facing this way, she resisted the urge to squint at him and continued to slide the mouse down.

"I have business."

Naruse looked at the form she pulled down and said, "I can see it."

"Apologize."

"sorry."
