With the Athletics Carnival coming up, as well as cram school, my after-school lessons, as well as the Bea-tan doll, each week was just swamped with things to do.
The Bea-tan doll was particularly bad. Since training for the Athletics Carnival made me so physically exhausted that I always went to bed the moment I got home. At this rate the doll wouldn’t have any progress at all!
I had planned on asking the other club members for advice but they were so busy with the wedding dress and their own projects that I couldn’t find the chance to. I was actually the club member with the most free time.
‘I should probably help somehow~ But there just isn’t much that I could do~’ I had thought, but my new Vice President, Azai-san, told me,
“As the boss, all we need you to do is be our rock.”
Boss… I was the boss, wasn’t I? What if the day came when they all started calling me ‘Boss Lady’…?
Anyway, our only male member, Minami-kun, was really proving his worth as far as the wedding dress was concerned.
“Your embroidery skills are truly remarkable, Minami-kun…” I praised him.
“I’m not that good. I’ve just been doing it for a long time is all…” he shyly disagreed.
No, really, he was so good that it would be fine even if he boasted about it.
“Ummm… By the way, Minami-kun. Is it true that Ririna has been calling you ‘Shop Boy’?”
“Eh-, ah, yes,” he replied as his eyes swam.
Oh my god! That idiot, Ririna!
“I must apologise. I only just heard about it. That girl has been too disrespectful of you. I will make sure to tell her off myself, so could you please forgive her? I truly am sorry.”
“No! I don’t really hate it or anything! Well, I mean I did at first but I’m actually quite fond of it now. Really.”
“Eh-, you like it!?”
Was Minami-kun actually some sort of masochist?!
“Ummm… Ever since Kotou-san began calling me ‘Shop Boy’ other people who never spoke to me before used that name to talk to me. I’ve made more friends thanks to that too. And before I was ‘Shop Boy’ she called me Apprentice(Minarai). My name Minami Raita can be shortened that way, right? And isn’t ‘Shop Boy’ better than ‘Apprentice’?”
“I honestly have no idea…”
“Really? I think ‘Shop Boy’ is definitely better.”
…Minami-kun, are you sure you haven’t been brainwashed? Well, as long as he was happy I suppose.
“If Ririna ever causes you trouble, please do let me know at once.”
“Gosh, she wouldn’t. Oh, but could I actually ask you one thing?”
“What is it?”
Minami-kun looked down as he fiddled with his knitting needles.
“What do you think Kotou-san thinks about boys who like handicrafts…?”
