(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

Cold Shoulder

"Well everyone, here's our director." Arata gave an introduction of Ichiri, though most of them had met before.

"Right, the girl that directed our school play. That's a pretty smart idea." Misei commented. While everyone was talking with Ichiri about potential ideas for what they could reenact. Misao pulled Arata aside for a private conversation.

"I never realized that the two of you were friends." She told him.

"I mean, not until recently." Now that he was thinking of it, what he said on the roof was officially stating it. But, was it technically before that? How exactly does one become friends anyway?

"It's nice though." She smiled. "I'm glad that you've gotten to know each other." He eyed her, it was as if she heard their conversation earlier. That was probably a coincidental statement though. Meanwhile, everyone else was arguing to what should be represented.

"How about Shakespeare? He's always a classic." Yogi asked.

"I already did that." Ichiri shot that down. "I'd like to try something new."

"Then maybe an epic that follows Oda Nobunaga?" Misei offered.

"I think that we should try and do something that highschoolers would want to see." Yuriko countered.

"How about an action story, with high flying action." Akaki put forth his idea. Showing off a karate strike.

"I don't know if the library would be the best place to show that." Akiba laughed. They were all throwing out ideas, Arata wasn't sure if anything was going to be done today.

But what could they do? Not only does it have to be capable of them acting it out, but it also had to be popular enough among highschoolers to garner the attention they desired.

"Then what about a scene from this?" Hifumi pulled out one of the books she had been reading. Arata took it into his hands. It was a story he was familiar with, since he had read it himself.

"100 days until our love blooms?" Akaki said the title of the story out loud. "Why does that sound familiar?"

"Because there's a movie of it in theaters right now." She informed them. "Very well received too, by pretty much anyone our age."

"What's it about?"

"It's a love story." Arata explained to them. "About the 100 days before the main leads realize their love for each other.

"That sounds strange to give away the ending like that." Yuriko didn't understand the whole enjoyment in that idea.

"What are you talking about?" Arata got defensive about it, as a fan of the novel. "Even though they realize it at 100 days, that's not the point. The point was to show that sometimes, that love was always there. Those little moments, those times we don't think are important, really were."

"I see someone's quite the fan." Hifumi smugly smiled at him, her glasses concealing the look on her eyes.

"The movie was alright." He crossed his arms in an attempt to not look like he cared that much. "Given the running time, There was no way to fit what needed to be conveyed."

"But I bet I could do it." Ichiri bragged. Arata doubted that, since it was going to be probably 10, 15 minutes at most. "It doesn't sound like a highly plot based show, so if I could pick out some moments, then..." After some thought put into it, everyone seemed on board.

"Now that I think about it, I suppose that it wouldn't be very feasible given how much time we have if Ichiri isn't familiar with the source material." Hifumi had seen the error of her idea. But everyone else was fine with this idea, they just needed to find a way to work it out.
