Culture Festival to the point that he knew all about them.
     
    “…. Could it be that you’re actually really looking forward to the Culture Festival?”
    When I asked this, he answered bashfully, “Actually, yeah.” Seeing as how he hadn’t been shy at all about me seeing him half-naked earlier, it would seem that this guy felt embarrassment for different reasons than other people did.
    “That’s kind of surprising …. But the other day, when we were talking about how we wouldn’t do anything for the festival, you didn’t even say a word ….”
    “Well, that’s because, it’d be a bother if I suddenly collapsed, since my body’s weak; and when I was watching everyone, it seems like a lot of work to set things up, so I thought it couldn’t be helped ….”
    Haruka said, and smiled meekly.
     
    I didn’t understand it very well, but it seemed that Haruka had a serious “illness” that was beyond comparison with the “illness” that I had.
    It was the type where a sudden attack could cause death.
    Tateyama-sensei had told me about this when we’d first enrolled, but perhaps due to the actual person’s optimistic personality, I’d never really realized the seriousness of it.
    Because of his experiences up until now, he was probably more than a little aware of it himself.
    Possibly, just because I hadn’t really paid any attention until now, he’d been putting up with various burdens at school on his own since enrolling.
     
    “I see. But, you want to do it, right?”
    “….. Yeah. I want to. But I’ll just end up causing trouble for you, Takane ….”
    Although still being shy, Haruka said this clearly.
    Even though we’d already been talking about it this much, I didn’t understand why he was still acting so shy.
    “…. You know, how are you so okay with Sensei doing something like that? Anyway, if you want to do something, then just try doing it, and if it doesn’t work out, then we’ll think of what to do when that time comes.”
    “Well, that’s true, but, I can’t do it on my own …. And I’ve never really done this kind of thing before, so I don’t know if it’ll work out well ….”
    Looking at Haruka who was muttering meekly while rolling the eraser on his desk around, for some reason, I leapt up from my seat, and without thinking, slammed my hands down on the desk.
    “—Aaahhhh!!  Just make up your mind already, geez!! You want to do target shooting, right!? Then it’s decided!! I’ll help out too, alright!? You got that!?”
    After I’d yelled, Haruka mumbled, “Got it ….” with a frightened expression.
    However, I didn’t just leave it at then, and next shot at Tateyama-sensei, “Please prepare us money right this instant! Also, that specimen will be used as the prize! Understood!?”
    “Ehh!? No, wait, there’s no way we’re doing that! How much do you think it cost—“
    “…. Principal.”
    “Alright, got it! We’ll do just as you said! Woah, I’m getting pumped now!”
    Tateyama-sensei hastily said this with a refreshing smile. At this point, it wasn’t just me, but even Haruka, that was looking at him and his absurdity with a chilly stare.
     
    ——Looking at the clock, it had already been more than half an hour since homeroom had started, and nearing the time that it should end.
    In the one week before the Culture Festival, all the usual lessons were cancelled, and instead, each class was assigned to work on preparing their act for the festival, under supervision of the Executive Committee.
    Every class had homeroom during the first hour, but starting from the second hour, all the students would begin the preparation work in their respective classrooms.
    For Haruka and I, we’d been doing self-study, but since we’d just decided on what we were going to do, we had to start making progress on preparations, too.
     
    “’Target shooting’, huh ….. Where should we even start …?”
    Although I’d been all fired up a moment ago and said
