"A promotional video? Isn’t that something only major sports events do... Can we really pull it off for a sports festival?"
"Well, the idea is great, but we don’t have anyone skilled in photography over here..."
"It doesn’t need to be too professional, just a short video. Keep it around ten seconds, add some background music, and it’s easy to shoot," explained Shirakawa Sawahei. "As long as the content is engaging, that’s all that matters."
"Oh oh~ Like those on Tik Tok! Shirakawa, you’re brilliant! I can’t believe you thought of this way to shoot a promotional video!"
"Me me me! I can shoot Tik Tok videos!" The leisurely girl quickly raised her hand and signaled, "I used to shoot short comic videos often..."
"Great! Then Orikin will be the videographer! As for the actors, where do we find them?"
"Let’s go with voluntary participation. Your planning team should be able to find people."
"And the actors can be arranged... But how do we decide on the content and theme of the video?"
"Do I have to think of that too?"
"Oh come on, Shirakawa, you’re the best~ Can’t you help us all the way through?"
"Just pick a popular sport, and then the corresponding competition events can also be adjusted."
"How about baseball!?" The leisurely girl excitedly swung an imaginary bat, "I think baseball matches are pretty interesting."
In Neon, the popularity of baseball far surpasses other sports. Every year, at school sports clubs, the baseball club receives the most membership applications. With high social attention, the status of baseball players naturally rises too.
Can this guy think of a more conventional project? Can the scale required for a baseball match involve most students of Akihisa High School?
He pondered for a moment and asked, "How about tennis?"
"Tennis!?" The drama queen immediately raised her head warily and said, "Shirakawa, don’t you just want to see girls in tennis skirts showing their thighs? You’re such a pervert!"
"So scary, Shirakawa, you planned it this far?"
"Oh, come on, Minister Sakurazawa, Orikin, don’t say that about Shirakawa. I believe there must be a reason if he wants to see girls’ thighs."
Damn, others are still in the suspecting stage, and the Black Hearted Lolita has already convicted me... while pretending to believe there’s a reason...
What a ridiculous reason!
"I just saw the scale of the tennis club before... If you guys don’t like it, we can switch to basketball or shot put."
"What kind of devilish sport is shot put... Can it really produce something aspirational?" The drama queen complained, "Do we have to Photoshop the shot put into a heart, throwing it to someone we like?"
"They might die on the spot! Who’s love can be so heavy... A yandere’s?"
"Exactly! So it’s still basketball, it’s easy to organize, and you can even play matches."
"Basketball is great! I can play basketball!" The cute little Ise Yu raised her hand again.
Didn’t she say before that she likes singing and dancing?
"Shirakawa~ do you play basketball? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you play basketball?"
"Come on, basketball is a must for boys to show off... Although there are slightly more girls in Neon who like baseball, it doesn’t reduce the charm of basketball, does it?" The drama queen insisted, "Shirakawa, I think you should play basketball..."
"What’s in it for me?" Shirakawa Sawahei glanced at Tsukimi Sakurazawa.
"You can grow taller! You see, I’m a little taller than the average girl because I like sports~"
The Black Hearted Lolita’s eyes gradually showed a murderous intent...
"That’s just because you have long legs, not because of sports. I think your stamina isn’t very good either."
"Nonsense! Shirakawa, you haven’t tried it, how do you know my stamina isn’t good!" Tsukimi Sakurazawa said indignantly, "Try playing a game with me!"
"Basketball... What else..."
Shirakawa Sawahei was speechless, waving his hand, "Go play somewhere else, I didn’t even know you can play basketball."
"If you can’t, you can teach me! Or we can learn together!"
Come on, playing ball with you? Should I be watching the ball? Or should I be watching the ball?
The righteous protagonist Shirakawa Sawahei refused this seemingly tempting benefit without hesitation.
"What?? Shirakawa! Are you kidding me..." the drama queen was furious, "I’ve never really asked you for anything..."
"I haven’t particularly asked you for anything... Now I finally lower my pride to ask you... and you refuse! I’ll fight it out with you!"
The leisurely girl quickly grabbed the furious drama queen, whispering to persuade, "Sakurazawa-chan... hold on... just hold on... Shirakawa isn’t an ordinary guy... Think about his scumbag iron fist... Calm down..."
"Hmph... Shirakawa~ you’re really not willing to teach me?"
Tsukimi Sakurazawa sat down, a gleam of smugness flashing in her eyes, "In that case, I won’t play the sentiment card..."
"I remember... Shirakawa, during Orikin’s birthday party... you still owe me a wish..."
The Black Hearted Lolita suddenly realized, thinking a damn, with her eyes seemingly scrolling with a screen full of 666.
Dammit! How could I forget such an important trump card? Have I been infected by Ise Yu Yuzhijin? How could I even forget this?
It’s all that pretty boy’s fault! He wrote so many tally marks on me that night... It made me a bit dazed!
Yes, it’s all his fault!
Asano Nazuki secretly glared at Shirakawa Sawahei, making him a bit puzzled. Tsukimi Sakurazawa’s choice truly surprised him. He thought this guy would still try to get away with the recent act of being adorable, but unexpectedly, the drama queen just threw the big date.
What does this mean? After being warned about playing ball at the beach last time, did she find out that wishes can’t be used as a deterrent weapon, so she decided to use it straight away?
But... this might not be bad.
Shirakawa Sawahei thought for a bit and decided to act like he was at a disadvantage, lest Tsukimi notices she didn’t gain anything and goes back on her word.
"... I’ll teach you once, whether you can learn or not, it’s up to you..."
"Fine~ don’t worry, I’m so smart, I’ll definitely understand in no time~ But, Shirakawa, don’t just brush me off!"
"When do we start?" Shirakawa Sawahei wanted to quickly use up some of the girls’ chips, so he naturally didn’t hold back, directly asking, "How about after the club activity, let’s play for 20 minutes?"
"Ah... I’m not ready yet... Let me change into sportswear... Orikin, please handle the promotional video later~"
"Okay! Leave it to me!"
The leisurely girl confidently patted her chest, making the Black Hearted Lolita’s eyes turn green with envy... Shirakawa Sawahei was stunned, and asked curiously, "What did you just say?"
"What promotional video?"
