Chapter 67 - Home Economics Club Activities – Second Part (2/2)
Cheating? What did you do, Hiiragi-chan”?
“Then, is it fine now?”
As I was given the okay, I turned around to face the three of them.
On the left, was Sana’s red, white, and blue French misanga. [1] Even if it looked a little bit awkward, it was well made. As I picked it up, Sana began to fidget, her eyes were swimming left and right. She’s easy to understand… The one in the middle was Kanata’s. It was made carefully with the blue, white, and black colors that I had picked.
And, finally…
… No matter how I think of it, it’s Hiiragi-chan’s…
While fidgeting, Hiiragi-chan was looking at my reaction.
“Sowa sowa. Sowa sowa…” [2]
She’s saying that out loud!?
“Sanada-kun. Pick one out of the three that you like the most, and then we’ll exchange, okay?”
With a composed expression, Hiiragi-chan spoke. Essentially, Hiiragi-chan’s misanaga was well, one, two, three… twenty in total. How much did you want my misanga?! If you make twenty, then of course there would be one or two that I would like!?
She’s not mature at all. She was planning on dominating the battlefield with overwhelming numbers…
“Look, even Nii-san is drawing back. Making so much is cheating.”
“It’s not cheating. No one said you could only make one.”
Are you a child?
However, since numbers were not brought up, there was reasonable logic behind it.
Hiiragi-chan’s face had her pride written all over her face.
“… You said, there was only three days for making them…?”
“Mufufu, did you notice? This was Sensei’s plan for complete victory ♪”
“Somehow, it’s so serious that it’s a little bit disgusting…”
“… Yeah, a little bit disgusting.”
“Sensei, how about you pick on as a representative?”
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?”
“Ah. That sounds good.”
“… Yeah, that’s reasonable.”
Reluctantly, Hiiragi-chan picked her favorite one out of them as a representative.
“Nii-san, pick. No matter which you pick no complaints… complaints might be brought up but we will do our best.”
As Sana said that, Hiiragi-chan and Kanata nodded.
“Then…”
I picked up Sana’s misanga.
“Eh? Sa-sana’s? You’re fine with that one!?”
“Yeah. Exchange with me.”
I handed her Sana’s misanga from within my pocket.
“I-I’m happy… Wait. Nii-san, you can actually make it pretty well.”
Sana was carefully looking at the misanga held in the palms of both her hands.
Even at a time like this, she doesn’t forget to say rude words.
It was made mainly out of orange in order to match Sana’s image.
This time, I grabbed Kanata’s.
“… Didn’t you exchange with Sana-chan…?”
“Isn’t it fine to make multiple?”
I handed Kanata one that was made mainly out of green.
“… Th-thank you… I’ll treasure it.”
“Eh, eh? Then that means…!?”
The eyes of the dispirited Hiiragi-chan began to shine.
“I also have one for Sensei. Here.”
“Thank you… Sensei will also treasure it…”
While being thrilled, Hiiragi-chan stared closely at the misanga in her hand.
“Everyone seemed to want one, so I thought it would be nice to make three. And so…”
Everyone was busy trying to put it on their arms and adjusting the length. None of them were listening at all. But, since they look happy, I’m glad that I worked hard to make them.
“Nii-san, by the way, who is first place…?”
“Eh? First place? … Sensei for enthusiasm. Sana for effort. Kanata for degree of perfection… so a draw.”
“““Well, it’s fine I guess…”””
Seeming like they gave up on a decision, the three of them looked at the misanga on their arms in satisfaction.
TN:
Just for clarification… the colors represent the French flag. Normally I would say blue, white, and red, but since it’s Japanese we go right to left ????
This is the sound effect for fidgeting. I normally translate it fully since it’s used interchangeably as the sound effect and the verb but I thought it would be better to leave this one as is.
