Chapter 75: Why Is It So Hard When I Just Want a Normal Life?

“Good morning, Yagi.”

“Morning.”

Upon entering the classroom, Yagi Miyuki gave a brief greeting to Sazawa Heifu, one of the few in the class who would greet him. Then, expressionless, he sat down at his desk, took out a math workbook from his bag, and calmly began to work on it.

“Hey, hey.”

Seeing his friend diligently studying so early in the morning, Sazawa Heifu was speechless. “Do you really have to be so lifeless? Working on these incomprehensible math problems so early in the morning, I—”

“If there’s nothing else, please don’t disturb my studies, Sazawa-san,” Yagi Miyuki interrupted.

Math was his weakest subject, and he usually focused on revising it every weekend. So he had to make up for the time he lost yesterday.

“Fine, fine,” Sazawa Heifu responded listlessly.

“Oh, by the way.”

“What now?”

Seeing Sazawa Heifu, who was chattering beside him, Yagi Miyuki was somewhat exasperated. “So, what is it? Spit it out.”

“Well… It’s not a big deal,” Sazawa Heifu scratched his head. “The school festival is on the 8th of next month. I heard that today the student council will form the School Festival Executive Committee, and every class has to send a student to serve as a committee member.”

“Is that so? That’s great,” Yagi Miyuki said, unimpressed.

School festival?

What did it have to do with him? He had no interest in reliving the youth he had already experienced once. In two years, he would have to go on to higher education; he didn’t have time to waste on such things.

Just last week, when the class was discussing what to prepare for the school festival, and eventually settled on some kind of family restaurant, he managed to evade anything that seemed like it would waste his time under the guise of a group activity.

Are you kidding me? Because of his part-time job and tutoring Narase Mero, his study time had already significantly decreased. If he were to waste more study time for a school festival, could he even aim for a top university anymore?

Aren’t subjects like their national language, English, math, chemistry, and physics more important?

After getting rid of Sazawa Heifu, Yagi Miyuki resumed his endless problem-solving, one question after another.

What surprised him was that, apparently due to conflicts in the teachers’ schedules, the timetable for this week had been rearranged. The first three morning classes were all switched to national language courses.

National language was currently his strongest subject, and he had already progressed to the second-year syllabus through self-study, so there was absolutely no need for him to attend the class.

The Chinese language teacher is a man in his fifties with a prominently receding hairline. He’s a stern and practical old scholar who knows about Yagi Miyuki’s academic progress, so he generally leaves him to his own devices.

Three classes have gone by, and Yagi Miyuki has mostly finished the study tasks left over from the weekend. Only a few sheets remain incomplete.

The fourth class is the class meeting. As Sazawa Heifu mentioned, the class teacher indeed came to convey information about the upcoming school festival committee members.

Although uninterested, Yagi Miyuki still packed away his worksheets under the teacher’s instruction and listened with a vacant look.

“The Student Council requires one student from each class to serve as an executive committee member for the school festival. Are there any volunteers?”

On the podium, the slimmed-down class teacher spoke seriously.

…

The somewhat noisy classroom suddenly became quiet. Every student looked indifferent, and some, like Yagi Miyuki, seemed as if they wanted to shrink their heads into their necks.

“Tsuchihara, you…”

The called-upon student immediately said, “Teacher, I’m already serving as a waiter at the family restaurant organized by our class. I’m afraid I won’t have the time.”

“How about you, Mizuki?” (TL: This is a different Mizuki)

“Sorry,”

The called-upon female student apologized, “Teacher, I also have club activities, so I can’t.”

“Teacher, I’m the same…”

“Our class’s family restaurant requires me to host…”

“Teacher, I’m on the discipline committee. I’ve already been scheduled to maintain order during the school festival…”

“No, this is bad—”

Seeing this, Yagi Miyuki’s face turned sour and he started to panic internally.

Damn it, he had shirked all class responsibilities and hadn’t joined any clubs.

A high school student like him who solely focuses on studying is almost unheard of in Japan!

At this rate, he might really end up getting assigned as some sort of executive committee member, a thankless and time-consuming task he absolutely did not want to take on!

Japanese schools are generally student-run, and even large events like school festivals are not overly regulated, being fully organized by the students.

That is to say, this so-called school festival executive committee will be responsible for the planning and execution of the entire festival. Even with the help of Student Council volunteers, it would still be a huge time sink!

The class teacher suddenly felt a headache coming on, raised his hand to massage his temple, and said, “So, those who already have assignments, please raise your hands.”

As expected!

As soon as the class teacher finished speaking, Yagi Miyuki displayed a look of no surprise. But before he could react, 99% of the students in the classroom had already eagerly raised their hands.

“I…”

Yagi Miyuki quickly raised his hand in fear.

Never mind the details, just raise your hand first. Otherwise, this executive committee position will definitely fall onto him!

But what he didn’t expect was that his slight hesitation immediately drew the attention of the entire class.

“Eh? Yagi, do you have other plans?”

A male student said sarcastically, “You even refused to be a waiter during the school festival last week.”

“Yeah, yeah, you don’t seem to be involved in any clubs either.”

“Okay, let’s just agree that it’s Yagi!”

Yagi Miyuki’s face stiffened.

He was somewhat surprised but not shocked by his classmates’ attitude. After all, he had barely participated in any class activities since entering high school. It was inevitable that some would be displeased with him.

Of course, it wouldn’t have escalated to this level of targeted hostility if that were the only reason. From the envious gazes of the male classmates, it was clear that the main reason was Ninomiya-senpai.

Ever since Ninomiya-senpai confronted him a few times, the male classmates had been particularly displeased with him. Now, they were just kicking him while he was down to vent their frustrations.

“Yagi.”

The teacher, Mr. Ozawa, took the opportunity to say, “I know you’re avoiding these activities because of your studies, but you should balance work and relaxation. How about taking this opportunity to unwind a little?”

“This…”

Yagi Miyuki frowned, his eyes flickering. Without much hesitation, he quickly turned the conversation with a forced smile, “Of course, I raised my hand to say that I will take on the role of the executive committee member. It’s my duty to contribute to the class.”

Yagi Miyuki sighed inwardly.

Well, let’s use this opportunity to ease some of the discontent among these high school students.

After all, if he continued to avoid responsibilities, it would really become indefensible. In a community, those who don’t participate in anything are naturally excluded.

Although he didn’t care, he also didn’t want to be subjected to disdainful glances every day. Offending all the classmates would inevitably lead to unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, if he was subjected to school bullying due to his own reasons, it would be entirely at odds with the ordinary life he desired.

Damn it!

Why is it so difficult to have an ordinary life?!
