Chapter 78

The biggest event of the second semester is the school festival. Since this is our last one as third-year students, the student council must work hard to ensure that everyone at the school can enjoy it.

After school, I go around to check on the progress of each club.

"Ah, Shin-kun, welcome!"

In the literature club, there was no Selia, which was a bit disappointing. But everyone welcomed me warmly.

The literature club president, Hartis-kun, is working hard. He is also the vice president of the student council, but basically, the cultural festival is run by the cultural committee and its president. The student council mainly checks the activities, so I end up doing Hartis-kun's share of the work.

Well, the school festival is the annual showcase for the literature club. I'll help out as much as I can.

"This year, we're thinking of publishing a collection of novels."

"Wow, that's ambitious!"

"Why is printing so difficult?"

Everyone is using mimeograph machines to print in large quantities. There are already stacks of booklets that have been printed.

"Can I take a look?"

"Of course, please do."

I pick up one of the booklets. ...It's a detective novel.

"Ah! Shin-kun, you shouldn't read the last page of a detective novel first!"

...What is this?

"The ending is grand, with all thirty characters being the culprit?"

"Even the detective and the guards are all in on it..."

"Wow, to fit that into thirty pages..."

That's quite a talent.

"Who wrote it?"

"It's me!"

Kain-kun, who works as the secretary in the student council, raises his hand.

"That's a great idea. It's very original."

"When I was struggling with the ending, Selia suggested, 'What if all the suspects are the culprit?' and I took that idea."

What is Selia doing? Is that kind of detective novel okay?

"Can I take one? I want to read it properly when I get home."

"Thank you! I'm honored!"

Kain-kun is overjoyed. I hope it becomes a hit at the school festival.

"Did Selia write anything?"

"Yes, this is a scroll-like work."

"Huh... I didn't expect Selia to write something like that."

"It's interesting. It has illustrations and dialogue, and each story is told in four panels."

"Wow, it feels like a four-line poem with illustrations."

"It's called a four-panel manga."

I flip through it.

Wait, stop with the prince stories! Please, Selia-sama, stop with the prince stories!
