SS4 Memory of Tatsuhiko's School Festival


TN: To be honest! I didn't translate any chapter for 3 weeks!! I run out of backup chapters before I translate this chapter!!


Author's Note :

Since it has nothing to do with the progress of the main story, there is no problem even if you skip it.

It is a story of Tatsuhiko-kun's in his 3rd year high school.







I am Kuonji Tatsuhiko. I am called a tortoise ... never doing anything. It is not called as nickname or abbreviation.

I am said to be as an expressionless guy or a robot-like guy, but I think that it is a backbiting, not a nickname.

Since my emotions does not appear on the surface, It seems that I am person without emotion.

But what are emotion? Is it fun if I laugh? Do you laugh if it's fun?





"Yo, are you still thinking about the difficult things?"

Bashin! Someone hit me on the back. A bicycle overtake me and a person in white sailor suit go away. I remember seeing in a ponytail shaking in left and right.

It was my classmate who hit me on the back of my head..... Ishino-san...... We have the same class in high school for three years.

Her face and name do not match. Even though it is already late summer.
(TN: Face as in Dignity or Honor)

I was an air in the classroom. No one talks to me, I don't talk to anyone. I seems to be still recognized as a classmate for the time being, but I happened to hear, that I seem to be called a living Buddha, because of my innate expressionless. It is a rude story.

"What were you thinking about this morning?"

Iya, As a person who became an air, only one person who speaks to me. It's Ishino-san. I do not remember her first name. But probably I do not even remember it from the beginning.

"I am just walking normally."

I can't talk with people. It's just my weak point. Compare to my age it is funny right? What's with that! It is tiring to talk with people who spread such feelings, and live.

"I silently see you in the road as you walk without focus in your eyes."(Ishino)

Ni shishi ...... Ishino-san laughed. I thought that the bicycle rushed through me, but it may have been moving at the same speed as me for a while. I did not notice.

For some reason she seemed to have such skill, and spent a lot of time and put out various kinds of ideas to her friends. It seems to be a type that finds pleasure in small things.

"Do you still have business with me?"

"Oops, that's right.
I still have business to you. For such important things I should never forget.
The signboard of Sankasai, Can I entrust the production to you?"

(TN: Hymn Festival? Paean Festival? I will just leave it as Sankasai)

She said with a somewhat less playful tone, It was a name of our school festival that will be held next week.

"Signboard is decorated in front of the school gates ...... It will be Arched type, right?
I thought that the art club handle it every year."

"This year, there are only four members of the art club, two of it are only first year. A reply came yesterday that said that they will be busy with their own club and cannot make the signboard.
Therefore it is in a helpless state.
In addition, there no one in the executive committee that could make the signboard.
So that's why I ask you."

I was an air, can you at-least read the air.(TN: Second 'air' mean as mood)


Although I did not expected much anyhow, As I was free anyway. I do not mind making it.

"As I will make it myself, It might divert compare to the opinions of others while making it"

"You will make it? Okay okay, that matter is fine.
I will convey that you also don't want anyone to disturb you.
Okay! Leave it to me, I will tell it to everyone! "

Do you really understand? I think that perhaps you did not understand it.

I do not want to be involved with other people ..... I thought I will explain it in various ways.





It seems that Ishino-san arrangement was perfect, so that from the day after I accepted it to the day before the Sankasai, for the production of the signboard, I was allowed to use an empty classroom that nobody has. Since it has to be decorated day before the Sankasai, the production period is only four days.

"Thank you for listening in our unreasonable request"(Art club member)

It was the art club with only four people who brought the materials and paint used in production. It seems that every time the director sees the materials for signs carried into the art preparation room, his stomach seems to hurt.

"I am really sorry, because just in the end I still cling to the executive committee"(Art club member)

"No, I am not a member of the executive committee"(Tatsuhiko)

"Is that so?"

"Ishino-san asked me."(Tatsuhiko)

"Oh ...... Onee-chan... were you asked by my sister?"

An especially small girl was surprised among four people. She probably first year. Is she her sister?.......she does have similar looks.

"She has a wide range of friends, I was one of it."

"Wow?! Wide range of friends? With my sister?"

After that, Ishino younger sister returned home with suspicious voice.

I see inside the tool box are Rafters and veneers, screw type on metal fittings, and probably carpenters tools are also included. Also, paint cans of five colors and various size of woods.

In conclusion, the signboard was completed in a day. I looked to the executive committee in order to confirm with my client Ishino.

"Ha!?"


Even though I am said to be expressionless, I wonder if this time it was shown on my face this time. Ishino-san was not a member of the executive committee.

Perhaps she was just helping or something. She tends to undertake every trouble proactively. It's okay to consult tomorrow, I may have look for her if she on campus. Anyway it's not a big deal.

I do not know her mobile phone number. Well, I do not even know the number of my other classmates.

I looked at the art room. If it's her younger sister, she should hear it.

There was no one in the art room. If I am not mistaken, I thought that it is the story that they cannot make the signboard for their own club production, but they stay and do not seem to produce it.

A voice was heard from the preparation room. When I went to the front of the door, I heard Ishino-san voice.

"What to do, Onee-chan. Father will come for a school festival, is it true?"

"It's okay, You just need to hide. I will meet father. "

"But then Onee-chan ...... hey, let's tell mother."

"Mom is sick, it is a bad to her body if her feeling is not calm, so it's absolutely not okay.
Because I'm used to it ... so please do not show your face to him.
He's aim is you.
He was concerned about you. He have not seen you for two years now.
He seem to look forward to coming for the school festival.
So you should absolutely not show your face."

"Then onee-chan ...... I know that onee-chan sometimes called by father and meet him.
The face make's when onee-chan came back ... I do not want to see it.
Hey, Onee ... ... My onee-chan .... "

What a conversation.

I gently left the spot. In such a case, I think that I was expressionless.

I returned to the vacant classroom as it is. There is a completed Welcome signboard on it. I took it again.






The Sankasai were crowded with a lot of visitors, and it became lively with much confusion.

A visitor came through the main gate, 
suddenly stopped  in the school building, and held his head.

When one of the students called, the man started crying.

"I took in the money of the company and put it in the way to covered the newcomer's mistake. I am a bad person, please punish. me"

The students seemed to think something about a sudden criminal exposure, but after that there was a lot more confessions of crime and teachers has isolated them. It was not possible for the teacher to deal with it, so they secretly called the police.
(TN: Confession Signboard! Lot of criminals confessing!!)

Although I could not understand it all, but since the content of the confess is detailed and concrete, the police called for an increase in number and start a interrogation preparation meeting in the staff room.

I understand it all at later date, it was said that their confession was all true, because there was nothing false in their stories.

After divorce, the confession of the man who compelled her daughter for sexual relations and also wanted the younger sister was included in it.

Ultimately, the Sankasai who put out 209 criminal confessors was called a confession festival among the students. It was also became a legend.

Then I got a call from my teacher because of my blank desire course.

The teacher give a brochure for the entrance exam of Ninomae University, but what does this mean? By the way, after the Sankasai, I did not remember throwing the welcome signboard at the campfire. It should be traditional to burn it by the one who made it.

I was watching until it was removed but I wonder where it went.

Oh well. I learned one thing. People laugh when they enjoy it.

Ishino-san laughing in front among friends looks really happy.

I was tempted to laugh.

"Hey, your mouth has come down now, was there something you unpleasant with?"

A seat next to me who never talked to me until now ... somehow, looked to me anxiously.

Surely I may be able to laugh as well if I work in it a little more.
