Chapter 26: The Cultural Festival Executives
It was time for recess and Takahashi-san came over.
“I’m sorry for forcing you to do this…” (Takahashi-san)
“It’s okay. I was the one who decided to agree, so don’t worry.” (Hiroto)
“Don’t worry about it, Takahashi-san. Leave it to Hiroto and you’ll be fine. He’ll help you if you’re in trouble, and he’ll solve all your problems!” (Yoichiro)
“Yoichiro, when did I ever do that?” (Hiroto)
“When I was a senior in middle school.”
“That’s not exactly the same thing as this, is it?”
“This time you’re the hated one, right? Somebody had to say it. I couldn’t do it myself then either. Well, it’s good that they all decided to cooperate. As the captain of the baseball team, I was worried that you might have overworked yourself while you weren’t at the club. But it seems that I won’t have to worry anymore. “
“Yoichiro… I didn’t want to force you to be the captain…” (Hiroto)
“It’s alright. If you ever need anything, I’ll be here.” (Yoichiro)
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but the festival committee is meeting after school.” (Takahashi)
Yoichiro and I were on good terms, but the other members were really disappointed that we couldn’t make it to Koshien and win the championship. I miss them all, hopefully, I could meet them soon.
After school, Takahashi-san and I headed to the audio-visual room where we were meeting.
When we arrived at the audio-visual room, there were two representatives from each class, but since the school had a large number of students, the room was quite packed.
“I wonder if this is everyone…”
“I’m Yamahira, the third-year head of the festival committee. I have handed out a questionnaire to everyone. Please distribute these to your classes and keep a tally of the votes. Based on this, we will decide what each class will do.” (Yamahira)
“The rest of the day will be devoted to the cultural club’s exhibits and displays. The athletic department will have rotating patrols and staffing on the day of the festival, and their roles have all been announced.”
We, the organizing committee members, were also assigned to patrol.
After the meeting, Takahashi-san stayed behind to ask a question, and as I headed for the exit of the audio-visual room, she stopped me.
“Yoshizumi-kun. Since we won’t always be here to exchange information, can you give me your contact information?” (Takahashi)
“Sure. If that’s the case, send me a message on the days you can’t come.” (Hiroto)
I exchanged contact information with Takahashi-san and headed for the exit.
“Whoa! Yoshizumi! Looks like the cast came off. I also heard from Takuma. You can come here to help or for rehabilitation, but I won’t let you participate.” (Tanabe)
“I’ll concentrate on my rehabilitation. Who’s going to pitch in the autumn tournament?”
“Sakamoto (freshman), Kimura (sophomore), and Hayakawa-san.”
“Kimura-san, Hayakawa-san and Takuma? Takuma can get a little too fired up on the field, but I’m sure the seniors will be fine.” (Hiroto)
“Hiroto, could you come watch them pitch? They’ve told me to ask you.” (Tanabe)
I went to the practice on Saturday morning and got to watch them all pitch.
I arrived to watch them pitch, but I didn’t have time for anything else.
“Hiroto, don’t come until Saturday. Go home…” (Yoichiro)
“I understand. Yoichiro, call me if you need anything.” (Hiroto)
TLN: Did he really just send him right back?
I couldn’t participate in the practice, so I apologized to everyone and went home.
Takuma said, “My class is having takoyaki at the school festival!” and ran off.
Yoichiro told me that Takuma’s class (7) had decided to vote for Takuma’s idea for the festival.
I really hope nothing goes wrong with Takuma’s idea…
Thinking about the seniors and Takuma’s practice on Saturday, I headed to the storage room at home for the first time in a long time to see if I could find something to do.
This… is an electronic piano that my dad had bought me.
“Hiroto. This will help you get used to the keys. It doesn’t have pedals, but I think it’s good for getting your fingers used to it.”
“Thanks! I’m going to practice lots. I hope I can play like you one day!” (Hiroto)
“Haha, I think you should enjoy playing the piano first. It was fun for my dad, too.”
I remembered when he had bought me the piano. I haven’t touched the piano since my dad left. It was too painful to touch. When I started playing baseball, I had noticed that the piano had been helpful in developing my finger senses.
It’s been a while since I’ve played it. My mom isn’t home yet, so I guess it’s okay to take it out.
I took the electronic piano to my room and touched the keys for the first time in a long time.

I wonder what happened to the father…
Meteor
I think he passed away since he doesn’t look like the kind of person who will leave his wife and son like that (I am saying this based on how he was described in backstory)
