My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected

Page 142

He was still the same as always, with a smile on his face, and even started a conversation.

"You must be tired. Have you been staying in class the whole time?"

When Sagami heard Hayama speaking to him, he imitated a weasel, twisting his body and turning his face away.

"Yeah, that's right."

"Oh... how's it going?"

"It's going very smoothly!"

After her reply, Ye Shan remained silent for a few seconds. This pause made his next sentence particularly noteworthy.

"Ah, I'm not referring to the class, but to the executive committee. Yumiko is in charge of the class musical; she's very dedicated."

Whether intentional or not, I sensed a subtle barb in Hayama's words. If he said it intentionally, it meant there was more to it than met the eye. A simple translation would be something like: "I've noticed you haven't been doing your job as chairperson properly. Is that really okay?"

However, Sagami seemed oblivious to the meaning behind the words and continued to respond with his usual attitude.

"Oh... Miura, she's different this time, super energetic~ Does that mean she's reliable?" (Translation: Miura is a hundred times noisier than usual, shameless and attention-seeking, disgusting to look at!)

"Haha, don't say that. She's helped everyone a lot, isn't that great? It's not a bad thing." (Translation: If you know what's good for you, you'd better shut up.)

Strange, did I eat some strange konjac? Otherwise, how could I understand the hidden meaning in their words...?

I wasn't listening very carefully, but perhaps Sagami's way of expressing himself was off, which somehow turned on some kind of mysterious switch within me. Even someone as kind as Hayama could say things that seemed to have ulterior motives.

Just as I was following the subtitles that my brain was interpreting and projecting onto the scene before me, Yuihama clapped her hands hard in front of me:

"Okay, hurry up, I want to get back as soon as possible!"

"Wait a minute, this isn't my job..."

As I recall, Sagami said she would write application forms, right? Why did it end up being me writing them? What's going on...? I don't understand at all... I don't understand... (Note 54: The original text for "I don't understand at all" is "何が何だか", which is pronounced similarly to "科学小飞喵 (二ャ二が二ャンだㄧ二ャングㄧかめん)"...)

“…So noisy.”

The people present chattered amongst themselves like a flock of sparrows, and Yukinoshita couldn't help but complain.

Yuihama and I quickly shut our mouths, but Sagami, who was further away, didn't seem to hear us and continued his pleasant conversation with Hayama.

"Oh dear, I really wish I could become like Miura. I admire people who can lead everyone forward." (Translation: I really want to get rid of her and take her place!)

"You have your own strengths, so why not just stay that way?" (Translation: Didn't I tell you to be sensible and keep your mouth shut? For your own good, I advise you to weigh yourself first.)

"Huh~ But, I don't really have any good points~" (Translation: Oh dear, of course I'm deliberately belittling myself. Hayama, praise me quickly! Praise me hard!)

"Everyone is different. What you see as a flaw might be seen as a strength by others." (Translation: Sorry, I don't know you well enough to know your strengths, so I'll just give a general answer for now.)

From the very beginning, the over-translated (Note 55: a translation technique that goes beyond "free translation," sacrificing accuracy for ease of reading and understanding, sometimes even omitting large portions of the original text) subtitles that are common in Western films kept flashing before my eyes, making it almost impossible for me to concentrate. It seems I can only watch Western films with Japanese dubbing.

*Snap*—I was suddenly interrupted by the sound of my phone case closing.

"Why did you stop again? I already asked my classmate to postpone the discussion until tonight, so I can concentrate here now."

"Only twenty minutes left until school ends..."

Yukino also seized the opportunity to put pressure on me.

"Don't say that. Since the penguins didn't participate in the class performance, it's bound to take more time."

Hayama couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for me. He's such a good person! But Hayama, if you had simply told me how to write an outline from the beginning, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

That's what they say, but this is also part of the school anniversary celebration's executive committee's work, so there's nothing we can do about it. We have to be patient... we have to be patient...

"I'm the chairperson of the executive committee, so I have some work to ask you to do~" (Translation: You lowly office worker, get to work! Pshaw!)

Be patient... After two rounds, I'll repay you double (Note 56 refers to the "Endure" move in Pokémon). Isn't it amazing that I can endure this long?

After much effort, I finally managed to concoct a bunch of fabricated information and fill out the application form before school ended.

"It's finished..."

"finally……"

Yuihama was exhausted.

"Sorry to bother you, thanks."

"Huh? Oh, no, no, it's rare for you to come and ask me for a favor."

"Indeed, I never imagined this day would come."

Just how much do you despise me?

Ignoring Yuihama's anger, I handed over the application form. Yukinoshita silently accepted it, checked the number of forms, read the contents, and then tapped it lightly on the table a few times to organize it.

"Your class's application is complete. Thank you for your hard work."

Without even glancing at me, she put the application form directly into the folder where the approved application forms are kept.

"Doesn't it need a stamp?"

"...Oh, I forgot."

Yukino gave a brief reply and took out my application form again.

There's nothing to be alarmed about; it's just a minor oversight.

However, this also makes Yukinoshita seem very strange.

"Sagamami-kun, please stamp here."

Sagami interrupted the conversation and took the file.

"Ah, okay~ By the way, I'll give you the stamp, you can just stamp it."

"Sagamami-kun, that's not a good idea."

The senior student, Xun, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop Sagami. However, Sagami didn't think he had done anything wrong at all.

"Really? But that's not very efficient. The important thing isn't the form, but the content, right? That's right, isn't that what 'delegation' is all about?"

Just looking at those piled-up words gives the illusion that they are impressive, but unfortunately that is just a fallacy of self-righteousness.

Nevertheless, from a practical work process perspective, it would be more efficient to directly hand it over to Yukinoshita rather than slowly waiting for Sagami to stamp and approve it. Senior student also considered this, and pondered without speaking.

"Hmm... If Yukinoshita-san is willing, that's fine..."

She glanced at Yukinoshita. Yukinoshita herself didn't seem to mind and nodded in acceptance.

"I have no objection. Then, I will take charge from now on."

Yukino took the stamp and immediately stamped our class's application form.

Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the day's work.

"Okay, that's all for today. I'll close the doors and windows; you can leave now. The classroom inspections after school will be handled by the implementing department."

As soon as the supervising senior gave the order, the student council members quickly dispersed.

Since the school anniversary executive committee is going to urge students to go home after school, I should set an example by adhering to the dismissal time.

I quickly packed my bag and left the meeting room.

On the way to the building entrance, Sagami chatted and laughed with his friends, and then casually asked us:

"Oh, how about we all go out for dinner together later?"

He said that, but his eyes were only on Ye Shan...

Hayama and Yui's gazes began to wander; they were observing everyone's movements. Yui looked at Yukinoshita, who, noticing her gaze, calmly replied:

"I still have work to do."

I think she genuinely has work to do, and isn't just making up an excuse to refuse.

Moreover, since Sagami has delegated authority to her, she will inevitably have to handle more decision-making matters, which means her responsibilities and workload will become even heavier.

"Oh, I see. Well, that's a shame." (Translation: It doesn't matter, I wasn't planning on inviting you in the first place anyway.)

Strange, I think I forgot to turn off the subtitles, and now I can see right through the meaning of Sagami's words again. Don't underestimate the power of the Evil Eye! (Note 57: From Hiei's line in *Yu Yu Hakusho*. The Evil Eye has the ability to see through things at a distance.)...

After Yukino finished speaking, I followed suit and refused.

"I want to go home."

"Okay, I understand." (Translation: You want to participate too? No way!)

Knowing full well that I wasn't invited, I still politely declined—that's what makes me so great.

Imagine if I were the only one left unsaid, and the other person had no choice but to reluctantly say, "Uh... well, what about you? You really don't have to force yourself." That wouldn't be pleasant for anyone. Besides, work has finally come to an end, so why should we continue to be with the same group of people?

What Sagami really wants to ask is not me or Yukinoshita, but two other people.

Yui already had the answer in her heart, and spoke tactfully:

"I... I'm not feeling well today. I need to discuss musicals with everyone later."

"Eh~ Yui's not going? Please~ go~" (Translation: Hey, hey, hey, if you don't go, Hayama won't go either! Get it straight!)

Oh dear, this reaction is really different. It's far too blatant, so blatant that even an X-ray is unnecessary.

"Oh yeah, we're discussing the musical tonight, and I want to join too." (Translation: Let me hitch a ride.)

Hayama seized the opportunity and readily complied with Yuihama's request, refusing Sagami's offer.

Finally, Sagami's boss withdrew his proposal in displeasure.

"Hmm~ Everyone has other plans~ Then we'll have to do it next time." (Translation: If Hayama isn't coming, then never mind!)

Reading the hidden meanings in other people's words is not a pleasant thing, but that's how it is for me, and there's nothing I can do about it.

My personality is so awful that it could be considered a "minor special ability".

Until I reached the door and said goodbye to everyone, I never turned off the Sagami subtitles.

The group of girls seemed to intend to walk with Hayama for a while, and their conversation continued even after they left the building.

I put on my shoes and followed them out of the building.

The sun had been setting for quite some time, and the sky was shrouded in darkness.

"goodbye."

After a brief farewell under the snow, I left in haste.

Her backpack was crammed with documents she needed to take home, and it looked very heavy, but she still put it back on her shoulder.

"See you tomorrow."

Yui tapped my shoulder lightly and ran off quickly. I remembered that Yui was going to discuss the musical with her classmates later, so it seemed like she was having a lot of work to do.

I walked to the sparsely populated bicycle parking area, pulled out my bicycle, and rode it.

The streetlights were particularly glaring at that moment.

I must have strained my eyes today; reading so many subtitles must have been exhausting.

Just as I was lost in thought, another strange idea popped into my head.

So, there are some people who don't have those super-translated subtitles when they speak.
