Fool's Love

At that moment, we both startled each other.

I still practice running.Exercise is indeed good for health. After a few weeks, my thinking seems to be a little more sensitive than before.

But I still can't run fast, probably because I neglected to exercise when I was young.Just like dancing, people who start practicing at a young age always have an advantage over those who learn to dance when they are older.

Fortunately, I run mainly for fitness, without any utilitarian purpose.Although he boasted that he planned to participate in the sports meeting, he actually didn't expect to get any good rankings.

We also have a track and field club at our school, and they are much more professional in this area than I am.

And before the sports meeting, there is another campus event, which is the class open day.

Students in the class vote to choose an activity theme, decorate the classroom, and wait until the day of the activity to visit other classes.

When I voted, I chose "Takoyaki stall", and the one with the highest support rate in the end was the haunted house.

I don't care if the open house is not the one I chose.Later, because of my skill in painting, the class leader approached me and said he hoped that I could participate in decorating the classroom.

Although I am a person who is afraid of trouble, I will not refuse when I really need to contribute, so I agreed after thinking about it.

After school, I ran around the playground while Masumi sat a little further away and sketched.

"What are the activities of the Yamagishi Class Open Day?"

When I ran back in front of him in a circle, Masumi suddenly asked me.I immediately stopped and looked up at him sitting in the stands.

"It's a haunted house, and I'm in charge of some art work. What about you?"

"Ah, we are a maid cafe."

"Really? I really envy you."

This sentence is largely perfunctory.Rather than envy, it would be better to say happy——

Since it is a maid cafe, it is likely that Masumi will not participate in the operation of the cafe that day, and will only work on the pre-planning and preparation part.

I happen to be the one doing the preparatory work, so I should be able to spare some time on the same day, and it would be great to visit the activity sites of other classes together!

It sounds petty, and I might get goosebumps if I let Masumi know that I, who was only friends with him, was thinking about such a thing—but that's what I really thought at the time.

After that, I, Sasaki, who joined the manga club, and other enthusiastic students from the art department started to make props.

Sasaki showed off another of her talents: sewing.According to her own statement, she usually changes the details of dressing through DIY, and such tasks as hand-sewing patterns are never a problem.

She is in charge of the costumes of the ghosts—after all, they are just for scaring, and they don't need to be too elaborate.

"Clothes are just secondary. How about making some scary props?"

Sasaki made a lot of useful suggestions. In addition to using small props to scare people, she also suggested that black paint be applied directly to the face when dressing up.

In her words, it is "cheap and easy to use!" On the day of the class open day, we will dress up the interior of the classroom as an opaque maze, so that the costumes and props that are too delicate will be useless. Think about how to make good use of the darkness environment to get twice the result with half the effort.

In the end, the solution we gave was to simply cut the fabric into a ghost-like costume, paint the face with black oil paint, and then use fluorescent dyes as embellishments.

They tried it on me as a model, and it worked surprisingly well, but it was uncomfortable on the face.

Sasaki kept laughing after looking at my painted face, which annoyed me a bit.

Who on earth proposed to use oil paint!I tried to put on the ghost costume sewn by the hand group again.

Said it was clothing, but it was actually very simple, it was more like wearing a black big bag directly on the body.

We also designed the layout of the classroom that day with reference to the experience of those who did haunted house activities in the previous session.So far, my work has come to an end.

However, just when I thought that all the work was done and I was ready to spend the class open day leisurely, another thing happened suddenly.

"You want me to be a ghost? Why?"

The squad leader replied: "I discussed it with other students, and I thought that tall people are suitable for dressing up as ghosts, so that they will feel oppressive.

Besides, there was no other way: the size of a classmate who was going to pretend to be a ghost did not match the size of the clothes in the manual group, and now it was too late to make them. "

What an unexpected and terrible state of affairs.It won't be a problem even if there is one less person, right?

I said to myself, this question could not be asked in the end.Now that I think about it, I'm actually not very good at dealing with strong women.

My sister Mimi is a clear example.When confronting her, if she takes one step forward, I will immediately retreat three steps back.

In the end, my secret plan to spend the class open day with Masumi was in vain before that day.Faced with this situation, there is only a little helplessness left in my heart.

On the day of the class open day, according to the original plan, I changed into clothes as a ghost, painted my face with black paint, and then hid in the corner of the maze built with black cloth and frames in the classroom.

There is only one last hope left in my heart—maybe Masumi will come to our class?

Waiting full of expectations, Masumi's figure was not seen for a long time.Staying in this narrow passage for too long, combined with the airtight fabric of the clothes, soon I started to sweat, and I had to go outside to touch up my makeup, and then returned to the maze to be a scary character.My mood became more and more anxious, and it finally reflected on my face.

Around noon, I left the maze again and went to the side to touch up my makeup.Morita accidentally saw me, and immediately couldn't help sighing: "You are so suitable to play a ghost, Yamagishi! Your expression now looks like a ghost who is so hungry and wants to eat people!"

what can I do?I am also very sad.Masumi didn't show up for a long time. I think he might be obsessed with visiting the various classes and forget about me.

But, if you visit each class, you will always wander into our class, right?I cheered myself up for a while, but in the end I didn't see Masumi all morning.

During the lunch break, I sat on a stool outside the maze with a few other classmates who were pretending to be ghosts.

I didn't take off the ghost costume on my body, but I took off the paint around the mouth——

In order not to rub the oil paint on the food when eating lunch.The weather is actually not hot, very cool.

If I hadn't been in the airless maze for a long time, I wouldn't be sweating profusely.

Now when I come out of the maze for a while, my body immediately cools down. If I take off the costume at this time, I will feel cold instead.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me asking, "Is Mr. Yamagishi there?"

Of course I know who that is.Suddenly, I turned my head away.At that moment, we both startled each other.

"Why are you dressed like this?!"
