My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected

"I see, that makes sense. Your 'Black Angel Law'... might actually work! Hmm, as expected of an authority on light aesthetics..."

"Hey, stop messing around. Don't just casually call me an authority figure; that's giving me too much credit. Besides, I'm actually a White Angel."

Honestly, to call me an authority figure is an understatement. How could I possibly accept that? I only watch anime because I enjoy it; I'm basically a casual viewer who doesn't even know who the original animators are. As for collecting, I'm just waiting for past DVDs to be re-released on Blu-ray. If you call someone like me an otaku, you'll offend all the other die-hard fans, and I'll have to atone with my death.

"Hmm, judging from your reaction, you're an expert after all..."

The timber stand took a step back in surprise.

"That's enough. I don't want to deal with you anymore. Go ahead and regret it while you're suffering!"

It's no use saying anything now. Since that's the case, I can only let him suffer deep emotional trauma, so that he can tell himself not to repeat the same mistake. Being looked down upon, hurt, and humiliated—people must go through these experiences to grow; love, friendship, and courage cannot change anything.

Hopefully, the students of Class C can inflict a major, fatal blow on the woodwork.

"By the way, are you going to see the movie that's coming out in October?"

"Are you kidding me? Someone like me going to the movies would scare other families and little girls. That would be too pitiful for them... I'll just buy the Blu-ray instead."

"Ugh! You clearly wanted to be the first to see the movie, but you had to endure it like that... You're a real man!"

For some reason, Zai Muza, who is also a man, burst into tears and cried for me.

I'm more likely to cry than he is. I have work to do next, why am I here talking to this guy about this kind of thing?

I pulled away from the woodworking table's gaze and walked towards the conference room. My steps felt heavier than usual.

Volume 6, Part 4: Unexpectedly, Yuki underwent a powerful attack.

A few days after Sagami visited the Service Society's office, she excitedly announced that Yukinoshita would serve as the vice chairman before the start of the regularly held school anniversary executive committee meeting.

The decision was met with high expectations from Atsugi, who was already serving as an advisor, and several senior students, including Shiroko, who had high hopes for her. The executive committee, from top to bottom, held a positive attitude.

It's probably not an exaggeration to say that Yukinoshita's appearance was highly anticipated.

Although this would mean my "recording miscellaneous tasks" group would lose a person, the workload in this group wasn't heavy to begin with, so losing one person wouldn't cause any major problems. So, it wouldn't really matter if I wasn't there… that thought flashed through my mind, but thankfully I joined the "window seat crew" (Note 39: In Japanese workplaces, underutilized or redundant employees are often assigned to window seats, hence the term) to avoid the class musical performance. One shouldn't be too greedy.

Upon assuming office, Yukino immediately demonstrated her skill in driving the entire executive committee's operations.

She revised the timeline, thoroughly communicated it to the entire committee, and required each group to report progress daily for tracking purposes.

Everything is going quite smoothly.

When the media publicity team struggled with where to put up posters, she would analyze the flow of people and traffic on the map to provide guidance; when the personnel coordination team was distressed about not being able to recruit aspiring performers, she would create local awards and offer prizes to encourage students to sign up.

Although someone like me, being at the bottom of the hierarchy, doesn't understand the inner workings of the executive department, I am well aware that Yukinoshita is working diligently.

The executive committee issued instructions in the name of Minami Sagami, but I can easily imagine that Yukinoshita was behind it all.

Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly.

Before they knew it, the executive committee members had already held several routine meetings.

As usual, it was time for the meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Sagami looked around at the members gathered in the meeting room and announced:

"Alright, let's begin the regular meeting now."

Everyone responded with "Please give me your guidance" and bowed.

The first step of the meeting was for each group to report on their respective work progress.

"First, let's hear from the media and publicity team."

The head of the media publicity team stood up and reported on the progress.

"The planned posting area is 70% complete, and the poster production is about halfway done."

"Hmm, that's really good."

Sagami nodded in satisfaction, but the next second, another voice immediately poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

"No, that's a bit too slow."

The unexpected remarks caused a stir among the crowd, but the person who spoke up—Yukino Yukinoshita—ignored the commotion and continued to rebuke them.

"The school anniversary celebration is in three weeks. If we take into account the time guests need to adjust their schedules, it should be finished by now. Have you finished negotiating with the vendors who will be posting notices and setting up the website?"

"not yet……"

"Please hurry up. It's not a big deal for ordinary people, but parents of junior high school students preparing for high school entrance exams will scrutinize the website very carefully."

"I understand."

The head of the media publicity team was completely refuted and sat back down in his seat, dejected, like a deflated balloon.

The meeting room suddenly became deathly silent. Sagami, sitting next to Yukinoshita, seemed not to understand what was happening and just stared at her with his mouth agape.

"Sagamami-kun, please continue."

The meeting only continued after being urged on by Xuexia.

"Ah... well, then, please let the personnel coordination team speak."

"...Yes. We have currently recruited ten groups that are willing to participate."

The team leader reported cautiously, and Sagami nodded stiffly.

"The number of groups has increased; that must be thanks to the establishment of local awards. Next group..."

"Are all ten groups from within the school? Have you inquired with any local groups? Please filter through the list of those who participated up to last year and contact them. In previous years, the school anniversary celebrations have emphasized connections with the local community, so it's best not to reduce the number of participating groups. Also, has the stage allocation been completed? What about the estimated number of visitors and the division of labor among the stage staff? Please submit a schedule to us."

Yukinoshita, disregarding Sagami's preparations for the next group's report, relentlessly raised questions and gave instructions. She absolutely would not allow anyone to be careless.

The same situation occurred with the subsequent health care and accounting audit teams. Whenever the team leader finished reporting, Yukino would ask very detailed questions and give numerous instructions.

"Next, record miscellaneous tasks."

Later on, she even took the lead in conducting the meetings.

"There is nothing particularly noteworthy to report."

Our group leader's report was quite concise. The main task of the miscellaneous tasks group is to record and film on the day of the school anniversary; there's nothing else to do at the moment.

Sagami, as the chairman, understood this as well. He nodded, looked around at everyone, and prepared to end the meeting.

"That's all for today..."

"The recording team should remember to submit the itinerary for the anniversary celebration and the equipment request form in advance. On the one hand, the number of photography equipment on campus is limited, and on the other hand, other performing groups may also need to be photographed. To avoid overlap, please coordinate with them before handing over the photography equipment."

"Yes……"

Even when facing someone older than herself, Yukinoshita still made her demands without any politeness, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

However, now that all groups have finished reporting, the meeting is almost over, and everyone can finally relax and breathe a sigh of relief. But the deputy director, however, has no intention of ending the meeting there.

"Also... could the task of receiving foreign guests be assigned to the student union?"

"Okay, leave it to us."

Senior student Xun did not relax at all and answered the question immediately upon hearing it.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior. If the student council could update last year's guest list, it would be a great help to us. As for receiving general guests, that's the job of the health and hygiene group, so please give them the guest list first as well."

"Understood." Senior Xun nodded happily, while murmuring, "Wow~ Yukinoshita is really something... She really is Haruno-senpai's sister."

"...You flatter me, it's nothing."

Yukinoshita looked unworthy of such praise.

Yukino is quite capable and capable; she is indeed very clever. However, her methods harbor certain dangers.

After each group presented its routine report, identified problems and solutions in the implementation process, the next step was to confirm the schedule. The topics to be discussed today have been largely covered.

Everyone sensed that the meeting was about to end, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Several people couldn't wait to stretch their muscles and make "hmm~" sounds.

Yukinoshita noticed that she had taken control of the meeting from Sagami and glanced at her.

"Then, Chairman..."

"Ah, well. That concludes today's meeting. I look forward to your continued guidance and support. Thank you all for your hard work."

After Sagami announced the end of the meeting, everyone said "thank you for your hard work" to each other and got up from their seats.

"I'm so tired, so tired..."

"...I really can't stand it."

"But seriously, don't you think she's amazing?"

"Yeah, it feels like I've been busy with a ton of things..."

I've heard this kind of conversation from many people, and everyone praises Yukino's first-rate work skills.

Moreover, perhaps because of her strong abilities and outstanding performance, some busybodies even said, "I really don't know who the chairperson is." Even within the student council, some members recommended Yukinoshita to run for the next student council president.

As expected, she is Yukinoshita Yukino.

At this moment, Sagami must be the most pained person.

In theory, she has the same conditions.

She was a second-year student, just like Yukino, and was asked to chair the meeting without much preparation.

However, she kept exposing her incompetence, causing delays in the progress, while Yukinoshita made up for the lost progress in one go.

If Yukino had taken on the main responsibility from the beginning, things might have turned out differently.

However, now that Sagami and Yukinoshita are the main and secondary pairing, once a comparison is made, the superiority or inferiority will become very obvious, and everyone present can see it clearly. If they praise Yukinoshita, it means they look down on Sagami.

While Yukino stayed behind to handle miscellaneous tasks, I saw Sagami and two other girls fleeing the meeting room as if their lives depended on it.

The anniversary celebration executive committee has a clear direction, and its work will become increasingly efficient. Yukino's skillful handling of the situation is truly commendable.

But did she even realize it...?

No one can save anything.

× × ×

Yukino Yukinoshita caused a huge scene at the routine meeting—correction, it was the day after school when she made a big scene—correction, it was the turn of Hina Ebina from Class 2-F to make a big scene.

"No, no, no! When a businessman takes off his tie, it's a much more agonizing and painful process! What do you think wearing a suit is for?"

What exactly is the purpose of wearing a suit...?

Under Ebina's passionate acting guidance, every one of the boys had tears in their eyes.

However, not all boys are so unfortunate; some receive special treatment.

"Well, isn't that enough...?"

Surrounded by a group of girls, Ye Shan asked, unsure of what to do.

"Not enough! Not enough!"

"The real show is just beginning!"

The passion in the hearts of those girls had been ignited.

Now it's time for the actors to get dressed. Everyone is trying on different outfits again and again in preparation for the formal performance.

I saw Sagami was among them... Well, anyway, there's still some time before the school anniversary executive committee meeting.

Totsuka was also surrounded by three people who were fixing his hair. The girls' enthusiasm frightened him so much that he couldn't move.

"Totsuka, your skin is amazing!"

"Yes, it's perfect for makeup."

"Right now... right now it's just rehearsal, so we don't really need makeup..."

Totsuka subtly expressed her refusal, but doing so would only highlight her cuteness.

"People who wear makeup also need to practice!"

"Absolutely right!"

Seeing this only fueled the girls' enthusiasm even more. Totsuka, after being told that, became even more timid.

"Hmm, I see... Practice is indeed very, very important."

I felt a pang of guilt seeing Totsuka so depressed, but my heart was too weak. The thought of him becoming even cuter with makeup made it impossible for me to stop him.

That said, the makeup team treated different characters very differently.

For example, the girls quickly finished their makeup in just five minutes, like the students from the class of Hubu and Ooka; then look at the class monitor, since no one was willing to help him with his makeup, he had to do it all himself, and his makeup skills were actually quite good, the way he practiced his movements was so practiced that it had an indescribable eeriness, which actually made people feel quite disgusted...
