TARGET FIVE Take a break, take a break! The Autumn School Festival begins! Part 1
The end of summer has passed, and autumn has quietly arrived. The leaves begin to turn golden, dancing with the soft autumn breeze and then falling to the ground. A thin layer of golden leaves has been laid on the stone path, as if a gold leaf rain had just fallen. Autumn brings a cool breath to people with the faint fragrance of autumn fruits.
I sat on the stone bench behind the dormitory. I first looked around and found that there was no one around. Then I unfolded the paper in my hand and saw some elegant italic words written on the yellow kraft paper.
Dear Miss Greya:
Hello, since you completed this task perfectly, the organization originally decided to give you a higher score, but because the last task was not completed satisfactorily, we finally decided to give you a score of 78. I hope you can work harder next time and keep up the good work!
X-Agent Organization
"Huh..." I let out a long breath, and the big stone in my heart finally fell down. It was really thrilling! Thinking of this, I remembered that this secret letter must have the same old rules - it would explode 30 seconds after reading it, so I quickly threw the letter behind me, turned around, and saw Romanee, Nicole, and Havensting behind me.
Just as I was about to say hello to them, there was an explosion behind me, causing the golden leaves to explode into a localized rain of falling leaves.
The first thing that popped into my mind was: This is fucked! How can I explain that I was sneaking around here looking at something, and then this thing just - exploded!
Just when I was extremely confused, Nicole was the first to cover her face, shaking with excitement: "Wow! Graya! You are so amazing! You can even use a powerful move like air flow attack! We admire you so much!"
"Yes, Graya, we are really impressed by you time and time again!"
"Graya, it's such an honor to have you here with us!" Romani made her closing statement with an undisguised sense of pride on her face.
I rubbed the back of my head and said with a silly smile: "Yes, you saw it. I can use the Qigong Cannon." My answer immediately caused screams from the three little girls, which immediately satisfied my vanity of becoming a great hero and being admired by others. However, considering that this thing was obtained by deception, I immediately pretended to be mysterious and lowered my voice to them: "But you must keep this matter confidential and must not tell anyone. If you tell anyone, it will cause great... uh... danger! Yes, danger! I will also be in danger. You don’t want me to be in danger, right?"
"No, no, no, we don't want you to be in danger!"
"Don't worry! We won't tell anyone!"
"Yes, Graya, don't worry!" The three girls responded immediately after hearing this. They came over to me with excited smiles and asked me seriously, "Can you teach us this?"
I laughed foolishly, not knowing how to answer. I had only thrown a bomb. This... no one needs to learn it. As long as you know how to throw things, you can do it! But I couldn't say that, so I could only perfunctorily change the subject: "By the way, what do you want to do with me?"
"Oh, if you hadn't asked me, I would have almost forgotten to tell you!" Havensteen covered his mouth and pretended to suddenly remember something.
"It's about the Autumn School Festival!" Nicole was holding an album of animal limb specimens in her hand, and she subconsciously rubbed it as if caressing it.
"Let me do the talking!" Romani stretched out her arms to block them behind her, then waved her celebrity feather fan to create a faint breeze, and said to me, "It's like this, we came to you to discuss something about the Autumn School Festival. The annual Autumn School Festival is coming soon, and then all interest clubs will start to become active. Each club must set up its own stall at the school festival, and passers-by will judge and vote. The first place winner will receive a generous bonus. Of course, we nobles don't care about this little money, but it is an honor, and the person with the highest votes at the school festival has the right to make a wish for someone, and that person must not refuse." After saying that, the three of them had an intoxicated look on their faces.
As someone like me who had never participated in the school festival of these nobles before, I could not understand the happiness in their hearts at all. However, seeing that the three of them were so eager to see it, I also became interested, so I asked, "So... what are the stalls? And what are you going to do?"
Havensting seemed to have been waiting for me to ask this question, and quickly said excitedly: "The three of us are members of the Orendu Beauty Club. This time we plan to set up a beauty shop to do styling for people, and Romani will be the one soliciting popularity at the door. Graya, what have you prepared for the Autumn School Festival at the Earl Detective Agency?"
"That's exactly why we came to you." Romani cleared her throat and said, "Because we know that your Earl's Detective Agency is a group of boys, and it has just been established, so I don't know if they have prepared any programs. If you are willing, you can join us when the time comes. We can let you dress up as a bunny girl and help me solicit business at the door. What do you think?"
“Bunny…Bunny girl…” I looked down at my not-so-full breasts in shame, then raised my head, met Romanee’s gaze, and said with a guilty smile, “I…I’d better forget it!”
"Graya, you're welcome!" Nicole stepped forward and said eagerly, "If you don't want to wear a bunny girl, we can dissect frogs, mice, birds, and anything else you want to dissect. What do you think?"
I couldn't help swallowing, thinking that her suggestion would be even more unacceptable. I would rather do something as boring as selling football star clothes with the boys than become a bunny girl or dissect small animals… So, I rolled my eyes and said, "No, no, no, I appreciate your kindness! I'd better just participate in the activities of our club! Oh, right! I remembered that Chikeyaro once said that he already had an idea for this year's Autumn School Festival, so… hehehe, thank you for your suggestions!"
I'm sorry, Chikeyaro, I used you as a shield.
Havensting heard this, folded his arms and held his chin, and said thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard Chikeyaro say that he has a brilliant idea, which is guaranteed to be a hit at this autumn school festival. If that's the case, there's no way to force it... But Graya is so beautiful, she must be very eye-catching when she dresses up. I really want to dress Graya up..."
I quickly interrupted her thoughts, fearing that they would not give up and drag me into wearing the bunny girl clothes, so I quickly said, "That's right! Chikeyaro's idea is great! So this time we are determined to do an activity that will surprise you, so I must do my best for my club! Hehehe..."
"Oh... that's such a pity!" Romani and the other two expressed their regret in unison like conjoined twins.
I breathed a sigh of relief, having finally gotten them over with.
