WIND KNIGHT - 1

[furins]

Sakura: ... Seriously, that Umemiya guy. What's the deal with suddenly meeting on the rooftop?

Suo: Things like this have happened before, no?

Nirei: Have you heard anything about it, Sugishita-san?

Sugishita: No...

That aside, bastard... It's Umemiya-SAN. Remember that already.

Sakura: You— Shut it!

Umemiya: Everyone~! You're all here!

Hiiragi: Oi, Umemiya... What're you thinking about this time?

Umemiya: Well, Hiiragi, I'm glad you asked. Let's get right down to business!

You all! Are going to............ put on a play with me!!!!

Sakura: ...... Hah?

Suo: A play?

Hiiragi: You...! Again, all of a sudden...! Kuh, ugh... My stomach...!

Umemiya: Hm? You okay, Hiiragi?

Hiiragi: It's because of you that I'm... Whatever.

Umemiya: There's a bunch of things I wanna go over, but first... Let me explain how this idea came about.

Mhm! Do you guys know the children's center in Makochi?

Nirei: It's a place where kids can go to play, right? It has things like a gym and a library.

Umemiya: Yup, that's the one! It's been some years since they built it, so... Soon, it looks like they're going to hold a founding anniversary festival.

So then, I got an invitation for the festival to try my hand at organizing an event.

Hiiragi: Why you...?

Umemiya: Someone who's taken care of me in the past has a connection to the center, or something like that... Well, I don't really know the details.

Anyway, so that's why... I figured only a play could liven up the party!!

Hiiragi: I understood absolutely none of that last part... But I guess I generally get the situation now.

It's for the kids, so... There's no reason to refuse.

Nirei: Sounds interesting!

Suo: Mhm. Sakura-kun, let's participate as well.

Sakura: ...... Well, I don't really mind, I guess.

Umemiya: Okay! Well then, first we'll decide who the lead role is by lottery~!

Everyone, please draw one card from this box! Whoever draws the red one will be the protagonist!!

You all pulled one? Then let's check on my count. Ready, and—!

Nirei: ... Mine's white, huh. Sakura-san's is...

... It's red.

Ah!? It really is!



Suo: Well congratulations, Sakura-kun... Oh?

Hiiragi: What's wrong?

Suo: It seems mine is also red.

Sakura: Hah!?

Umemiya: ... Hm? Did I get the number of winning cards wrong? Well, there's plenty of stories where there's two main leads, anyway!

So, the leads for the play will be... Sakura and Suo! It's been decided!

Hiiragi: Seriously... This guy's too careless.

Guess it can't be helped. Leave the coordination of the schedule to me.

Umemiya: Thanks, Hiiragi! Let me know when it's decided.

As for Tomiyama and those guys, I'll take care of that!

Hiiragi: Sure, I'll leave it to you.

......

...... Hm?

... Tomiyama? Why'd his name come up all of a sudden?

Umemiya: Huh? Did I forget to tell you guys?

For this project, I'm gonna ask the other teams to join us too!

It'll be a great party! The more people the better!!!!

Hiiragi: ......

You didn't tell us a damn thing————!!!



Umemiya: Everyone! All together, let's put on a show!!!!
