Alcohol and Ogre-Girls ch31

p1
>The hot summer is over,

>and autumn has very much arrived...

>It's finally time...

p2
>for the festival season...!

p3
>This book doesn't have anything on the Shinpen Kidoku Sake either...
>Well, it is just a narrative book...

p4
>I'm getting kinda sick of this...
>Reading about my ancestor's misdeeds over and over wears me out...
>It's written as a fairytale anyway...

>Hinata!

>Ooh!?
>Why!?

>>Hinata's extrovert friends
>Hey~ We're doing our groupwork assignment!
>We were free to do what we wanted~ so we formed the usual group!

>You doing your homework too, Hinata~?
>Just about~

>Then let's do it together!
>Mind if we sit here?
>Go ahead!
>That spooked me... I didn't really want to be seen~
>That's why I went all the way to the town library instead of the college's one...

p5
>So like~ it's almost time for the campus festival, right?
>Ah, yeah?
>What's your tennis circle doing this year, Miki?

>Fried ice-cream~
>Gotta make money for our activities~
>That's just plain yummy.
>What about the soccer club?
>Mostly focused on beef skewers.
>Arisa's lot seems to be doing dancing and stage performances.

>Seriously? Let's check it out~
>Hey, are there any celebs coming this year?
>I believe that one actor
>The campus festival, huh~
>Our college's festival allows alcohol,
>so it'll be really bad if some booze gets spilled on me in broad daylight.

>What about you, Hinata?
>Hm?

>What are you doing for the festival this year?
>Ah~...

p6
>Probably nothing in particular~
>Eh~ Again~?
>But it's so fun being on the working side at a campus festival~

>Just cut loose~
>You're always cutting loose, Sayaka.
>Haha.

>If I really cut loose and let my horns grow, what kind of faces would these girls make?
>They'd probably go "it's a festival so who cares if you grow horns?"... or something like that?

>So like, I heard Takahashi's lessons were easy, but they're anything but.
>He's like an ogre, giving out that much homework.
>Ah, I've heard about that.

>But did you hear?
>That guy apparently got kicked out of our college for sexual harrassment.
>Huh!? For real!?
>Unbelievable. What a creep.
>Seems like there was some crazy rumors from quite a while back.
>He was showing favoritism towards the students he liked too~

p7
>That explains why the homework was so ogre-like~
>Was he angry? Lol

>It's true that Takahashi was a sexually harrassing bastard.

>But that has nothing to do with how much homework you get.

p8
>Also, doesn't using "ogre" to describe anything that's nasty
>make you feel bad for the actual ogres?

>...From who's standpoint? That's scary.
>Damn~ He's really hot.
>Hey, you're really late, so could you try looking a little more sorry?
>He's way too beautiful.
>I wonder if he'll go out with me...
>Don't cut into our group when you barely show up for lectures. Do your job properly.

>Tsukasa...

p9
>Long time no see,
>Hinata!

p10
>Achoo.

>Uuh... I think I may have dressed too lightly today...

>It certainly looks like autumn scenery.
>Even though it was so humid a short while ago.

>The circles are working outdoors more too...

>Ah, ah, it's gonna fall!
>Hold onto the edge properly!

p11
>>Keiei Festival 65th

>...

>...It's the campus festival!?

>Uwaaaah! I completely forgot! It's that time of year already~!
>I was wondering why everyone was wandering around campus~
>You really feel like an outsider when you're not in any of these circles...

>...

p12
>Everyone's working together and getting pumped up.
>Looks like fun...

>...
>...Huh?

>This feeling is...

>...
>...isolation!!!
>>2nd time since one page ago.

p13
>I somehow deceived myself after getting involved with everyone in the Ibuki family
>that I forgot I'm a total loner at college...!
>You're my bartender and yet you're a loner~?
>I'm sorry...

>...Don't get cocky, Naori...!
>I've always been a socially awkward introvert...
>If anything, these recent events are nothing more than a bug!
>>Ressurected darkness

>Hah~ I've got no part-time job today, so I guess I'll go home early...

>Target spotted.

p14
