Chapter 23 The unreliable art department

"Ah sneeze!"

In the corridor with people coming and going.

Iura Hide, who was heading to the science classroom with textbooks and notes along with Toru Ishikawa and Sakura Kono, sneezed twice in a row.

"Ah? Iura, have you caught a cold?" Sakura Kono couldn't help but ask with concern.

"I don't have a cold," Iura Hide rubbed his nose vigorously with his fingers and joked, "Maybe someone is thinking of me~"

"But if someone misses you, they should just sneeze, right?" Toru Ishikawa interjected at this time.

"Idiot, couldn't it be that the same person thought of me twice in a row, or two people thought of me at the same time?"

After Iura Hide finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise his wit. However, the next second, he was silenced by Toru Ishikawa's words.

"Isn't it possible that you were infected by Yasuda?"

"."

Seeing Iura Hide's speechless expression, not only Ishikawa Tooru burst out laughing, but even Kono Sakura couldn't help but pursed her lips and snickered.

"How can I be like that guy Yasuda!"

Iura Hide rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then decisively changed the subject.

"Kono, the art club's activity room is on the fourth floor of the activity building, right?"

"Well, it's the innermost classroom on the right side of the stairs."

"Are there any powerful experts in the art department?"

"I'm not sure about this," Kono Sakura said after thinking for a moment: "As far as I know, the art department has not won any awards in the past three years. In addition, it is said that the consultant in charge of the third-grade art course Mr. Qianshi is, well, an unreliable guy."

Maybe it’s because I’m not used to commenting on others behind their backs.

Although this was really just an objective evaluation, Sakura Kono couldn't help but have an embarrassed look on her face after she finished speaking.

In fact, if someone else had asked her, she might not have added the latter sentence.

"It's great that there are still art classes in third grade." Iura Hide couldn't help but secretly sighed.

At this time, Kono Sakura asked curiously: "You have to go to the art club for something?"

"This isn't a big deal. I just want to ask someone in the art department to help me with a little help."

Iura Hide thought for a while and said.

He wasn't sure yet whether he wanted to join the art club, so he couldn't just say that he wanted to go there and learn some knowledge and skills about drawing comics.

Kono Sakura is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, and Iura Hide is still writing novels.

So she mistakenly thought that Iura Hide wanted to ask someone from the art department to help draw the illustrations for "April", so she didn't pursue the question any further.

"If I remember correctly, the club activity days registered by the Art Department happen to be Tuesday and Thursday. If you go there today, there should be someone there."

Hearing this, Iura Hide showed a surprised expression.

"Ah? Are there only two days, Tuesday and Thursday? I thought they had club activities every day."

"This...maybe it's because the art department has relatively few people. There are only three people."

What Sakura Kono originally wanted to say was that the art club was full of weird guys, but she was really embarrassed to say this.

And after hearing that there were only three people in the art department, Iura Hide already showed a surprised expression.

"Three people? Doesn't it mean that the minimum standard for a club to not be abolished is four people?"

"Yeah, but it's really not good to abolish the art department because there are so few people." Sakura Kono explained.

Unlike the comics club, clubs like the art club don't have to be well-known or win any awards, but if a school doesn't even have one, then it obviously doesn't sound good to say it out.

The light part is actually similar.     Otherwise, Iura Hide would not have become the head of the light music department right after entering the first grade.

However, due to his excellent popularity, although he is usually the only one in the Qingyin Club and there are no serious club activities, there are more than a dozen people registered to join the club.

As friends, Toru Ishikawa, Sakura Kono, Kyoko Hori and Yuki Yoshikawa naturally have their names in the light music club.

But the art department actually couldn't gather the minimum standard of four people even if their names were allowed.

This made Iura Hide suddenly have a bad feeling.

"Isn't this art department just an unreliable consultant?"

Unfortunately, his hunch was right.

"Arnold——"

"Damn Mima Sai!"

"I am Hide Iura from Class 3, Grade 2. I would like to visit the Art Department. Can I?"

Perhaps it's because factors such as 'like' and 'love' are not involved. At this time, Iura Hide's social attributes have once again taken over.

That energetic sound suddenly sounded at the door of the Art Department activity room, immediately startling the two people in the Art Department activity room who looked even darker than the Light Music Department.

Yes, it is said that the art club should have three members, but at this time there are only two people in the activity room!
  One of the men lying on the old black long sofa was startled, and his upper body jumped up from lying flat.

The other one, a man with brown curls and glasses who looked very thin, shook his hand and the paintbrush fell to the ground with a splat.

"Ah, I'm sorry, did I scare you? I'm so sorry!"

Upon seeing this, Iura Hide apologized and walked over to help him pick up the brush that had rolled aside.

However, this action seemed to frighten the glasses guy again.

He trembled, stood up hastily, and mumbled something in a hurry with the ceremony. It seemed that he wanted to say no, he would pick it up himself.

However, it may be because of being too anxious.

He stood up and knocked down the easel in front of him, causing a domino effect.

After knocking down the other two easels next to it, it hit the figure model placed in front with a bang.

That’s right, it’s a hand model!
  This is why Iura Hide glanced outside several times, and even though he felt extremely unreliable, he still said hello and walked in.

"what--"

"Sorry sorry!"

The glasses man quickly bowed to him three times in a row, and then rushed towards the figure model that fell on the ground in a panic.

This scene fell into Iura Hide's eyes and he couldn't help laughing. He really didn't know how to evaluate it.

However, he still took the initiative to help the glasses guy lift the easel that had fallen on the ground.

During the process, the boy on the sofa who looked like he was in his thirties also lay back down again. He didn't even glance at the easel that fell to the ground, and just closed his eyes.

But Iura Hide still noticed that the guy was wearing a school uniform shirt.

This meant that this boy was not the unreliable Sengoku teacher that Sakura Kono said he had thought at first, but one of the only three members of the art club.

This made the little expectation he had for the art department suddenly cut by one-third.

One is obviously a cowardly loser, the other simply uses this place as a sleeping place, and only one member remains unknown. Can there be a master in such an art club?

Even if the half-finished sketch on the drawing board of the cowardly glasses guy looked okay, he was deeply doubtful.

But just as he was listening to the belated self-introduction of the glasses guy and thinking about whether to leave directly, a voice full of aura suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Ah, Naoto, who is this white-haired man I've never seen before?"
