Chapter 9 | Until the day it becomes a pumpkin!

--a week later--

~Kaoru's POV~

At midnight, the carriage was sure to become a pumpkin.

However, it wasn't an old witch who cast this spell.

"All right," our homeroom class representative and chairman, Soga Kazukiyo, said. "Let's move on to the next item on the agenda! I would like to discuss the plans for next week."

"Plans?" Haruhi repeated.

"What plans...?" Arabella asked.

"Halloween!" Hikaru said.

"It's next week." I pointed out.

"Haruhi, Arabella, since you two only started going here this year, you don't know what we do when Halloween rolls around," the vice-representative and chairman, Kurokano Momoka, said. "Here at Ouran, during the grading of our in-school trial exams, we're allowed to take off until the first day of November every year, to hold costume parties here on campus."

"Also, to promote camaraderie, we're allowed to take a whole day and use it however we like, as a class event." Soga said.

"An event?" Haruhi and Arabella said together.

I leaned over across the aisle. "Well, usually we..."

"... have tea parties, watch movies, and so on." Hikaru finished for me. I nodded.

"Not good enough, not good enough, not good enough!!!" someone said. We all turned to see that Renge, who was in our homeroom class with us, was suddenly standing on top of her desk with her hands on her hips.

Then, she cleared her throat and struck a pose. "Halloween! It's the day that signals the end of summer and the start of winter! Halloween! A day when people come out against the spirits and devils that come by making themselves look like them! Halloween! It also, in time, became a festival of dressing up in costumes and playing pranks!" She continued to pose some more.

I then noticed Renge wasn't wearing her uniform, but a pink outfit.

"Some people don't wait for permission to have costume parties..." Hikaru said.

"... and engage in cos-play all year round." I finished as we watched Renge.

"So... what's with that uniform...?" Haruhi asked Renge.

"To tell you the truth, this is the uniform for the girl characters who will be appearing in Uki Duki Memorial 2, which isn't scheduled to come out until next spring!" Renge said.

"Apparently, through bribery, she managed to obtain top secret information on Uki Duki Memorial... How deep." Arabella whispered to Haruhi, who chuckled.

"I obtained some advance, unannounced information, and made this!" Renge said.

We all sighed.

"Renge? We're having homeroom. Please get off your desk." Soga said.

Renge ignored Soga. "Cos-playing and having tea parties are things we do all the time in the Host Club! What good is having Halloween without any further simulation???" she said.

"Um, this has to be a class event..." Soga pointed out.

"I hereby propose that we have a Halloween special test-of-courage tournament!" Renge said.
