Christmas of handmade picture books - 1

--(1)--

[Hero Club room]

Tam: December♪ December♪ Christmas♪

Gin: Chicken♪ Chicken♪ Eat so much♪

Gin/Tam: Ei!

Tam: I want honetsukidori if possible~.

Gin: Yes! Even better if it's big!

Yuz: Don't you normally have cake for Christmas?

Tam: But all chicken meat is delicious! It makes me even happier if it's tulip-shaped.

Yuz: So anything is fine.

Gin: As long as it's good, there's no problem! Also, Christmas illuminations are so sparkly!

Gin: Let's all go watch them, Yuzuki-san!

Yuz: Eh? You don't need to go through the trouble of going to them, do you? Spending time with the people close to me on Christmas is enough for me.

Gin: Really? Isn't throwing a party or watching illuminations normal?

Yuz: Eh?

Shi: It's normal for the Hero Club. But anyway, how did you spend it before, Yuzuki?

Yuz: I relaxed and ate cake at home.

Yuz: Then... Watch movies. As a kid, mom read pictures books with me too.

Son: Pictures books for Christmas! This sounds wonderful, Yuzuki-senpai~.

Kar: Ah, that's not bad. We could try making one even.

Kar: Didn't we have this request from kindergarten?

Shi: Christmas plans... I don't think we decided what to do yet.

Kar: Why don't we do a handmade picture book reading there?

Shi: I think it's a good idea.

Sum: I hope it would help cultivate their creativity. ...No, speaking of cultivating...

Sum: I may need to consult Tougou-san...

Yuz: This isn't a face I like to see... Is that gonna be okay?

Kar: Well, as long as we keep an eye on them, it should be fine.

Fuu: A handmade picture book reading, I like it! Idea adopted!

SON: A handmade picture book huh~. For a public of young kids... So the contents should be...

Son: No difficult topics~. You can't forget friendship between girls, but...

SON: Do you think the boys would like it too?

SON/Son: U~m.

Tou: Wait a moment, Sonocchi, Sonoko-chan!

Sum: You're not the only ones who want to make a picture book! Tougou-san and I are also applying!

Fuu: .........And your reason?

Tou: A picture book is a prime example to inculcate young children in an approachable way to love their country!

Sum: We will make this an enjoyable time for the children of the kindergarten! Tougou-san!

Tou: Yes! Let's work our best, Sumi-chan!

Fuu: That's what I thought.

Fuu: Sorry to ruin your fun, but extreme imagery or ideologies are banned.

Tou: It isn't extreme in any way! There you have it, Sonocchi, we want you to give us your place.

SON: I don't plan on giving up this place, even to you.

Sum: Sonocchi, do you also think like Sonoko-san?

Son: Of course!

Fuu: Unbelievable... A picture book is putting the Hero Club on the verge of breaking up!?

Meb: ...It doesn't have to be only 1 picture book, does it?

Fuy: Quick and easy solution! If 1 isn't enough, then 2! If 2 isn't enough, then just make 3 or 4!

Aya: The kids of the kindergarten would be happier with many picture books.

Fuu: Alright! Then keep the picture books coming!

SON: Fuumin-senpai, since we're already doing it, I'd like to make an adult picture book~.

Fuu: For the Hero Club, you mean? Well, if we have time and energy to spare, I don't mind you making it.

SON: Yaa~y! I gotta tell everyone~.

[Inubouzaki house - Living room]

Fuu: Mmh, this here... Alright, done!

Its: Done? What were you doing?

Fuu: Ah, Itsuki. I was dividing the club into picture book groups.

Its: So it's decided!

Fuu: It was a lot of work. I divided everyone according to their requests.

Its: Who is in my group?

Fuu: Anzu, Tama, Natsume, Mebuki, and Aya.

Its: Anzu-san, Tamako-san, Natsume-san, Mebuki-san, Aya-chan... Yes, this will be fun!

Its: What about the other groups?

Fuu: First, Hinata, Wakaba, Sonosmall, Gin, Utano, Mito, and Yuzuki.

Its: Hinata-san seems like she will become the group's leader.

Fuu: Next, Yuuna, Tougou, Karin, Sumi, Sekka, Lily. This one requires special attention.

Its: Ahaha...

Fuu: Then, Sonobig, Suzume, Miroku, Akamine, Renge, Shizuka.

Its: They have Sonoko-san, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Fuu: And lastly, Takashima, Chikage, Shizuku, Masuzu, Yoshika, and me.

Fuu: Good work, onee-chan. We'll start making picture books tomorrow, huh.

Fuu: Itsuki~, please give me a shoulder massage as a reward for all this effort~.

Its: Yes, yes.

[Hero Club room]

Hin: Let's start working hard on our picture book!

Wak: I would like to cooperate as much as I can, but what are you planning for the theme of our picture book?

Hin: This goes without saying, a book where Wakaba-chan is the main character!

Wak: Me as the main character!?

Hin: This is a chance to show the kindergarten kids Wakaba-chan in action!

Wak: Hinata... Let's not. It's too embarrassing.

Hin: There is nothing to be embarrassed about! Rather, you should be embarrassed not showing them!

Wak: How does that make any sense!?

Son: He~re!

Hin: What is it, Sonoko-chan?

Son: Forcing people isn't nice, and I think it would be good if we did it in a way that doesn't say her name~.

Wak: Nogi!

Hin: Rejected. It would reduce the picture book's charm by half.

Son: Don't worry, you can still have ancestor-sama as the main character's model.

Wak: You're right, I have no problem with this.

Hin: Mrgh... I'm against it. The main character's name has to be "Wakaba".

Son: Hinata-senpai, Hinata-senpai. Lend me your ear~.

Hin: What is it?

Son: How about Wakana for the main character? Then you can say she's only the model.

Hin: !? Sonoko-chan, you are terrifying!

Hin: Understood. Wakaba-chan will only be the model.

Wak: You managed to convince Hinata. Amazing job, Nogi.

Uta: I'm a candidate! If Wakaba is the main character, then I want to be the main character's rival, or a baddie!

Gin: That's not fair, Utano-san! I want a big role too!

Son: Then Mino-san and I will be ancestor-sama's helpers who save her while looking cool~!

Gin: Ooh! I like the idea! I'm gonna save you and look cool, Wakaba-san!

Uta: Of course, Mii-chan will be my partner!

Mit: Eeeh... I don't mind a minor role, Utanon.

Hin: Everyone is getting excited. Yuzuki-san, which role would you like?

Yuz: I don't need to appear. Instead, I'll look up how to make books on the internet.

Hin: Division of labor, isn't it? Understood. Please leave to story to me!

[Hero Club room]

Anz: Let us begin this first picture book creation meeting. Everyone, I am counting on your efforts.

Tam: Fired up, aren't you, Anzu!

Anz: Yes, I am full of motivation, Tamacchi-senpai! Sonoko-senpai told me she was looking forward to my picture book!

Tam: Sonoko said something like that? She must have high hopes for you, Anzu!

Nat: We'll have to do our best. Did you already decide on a theme?

Anz: I'd like to decide it now.

Meb: I'm glad you're open to help. Alright, let's give picture book ideas.

Aya: Uum, what kind of book should we do? Should we have a moral like old tales?

Its: I don't think we should force it. Being enjoyable is the first priority.

Meb: Something that will make kindergarten kids happy...

Nat/Tam: The sea / Mountains!

Nat/Tam: ...

Anz: Tamacchi-senpai? Natsume-san?

Tam: Mountains! Kids love bugs! And where do you find a lot of bugs? Mountains!

Nat: No, the sea. There isn't a kid who doesn't like the sea, and you can find bugs there too.

Meb: Looks like this is a dead end.

Aya: What do we do? Anzu-chan.

Anz: ...Then, we'll make both the setting!

Tam: Both? You can do that?

Anz: Yes! For example, a child who was raised in the mountains decides to go to the sea!

Meb: I don't have any problems with it, but isn't it too normal?

Aya: Is normal no good?

Meb: I didn't say that, but... As a picture book, shouldn't the main character be a little more unconventional?

Anz: Unconventional... Then, something that everyone loves as the main character, for example?

Tam: Yes, then udon.

Meb: Udon goes to the sea...

Aya: Is it going to float down the river?

Anz: ...Personified udon's great adventure, I think it could work.

Tam: That's it, Anzu! Tama agrees! What about you, Natsume?

Nat: The goal is the sea... I think it's a great idea.

Meb: Do we have an agreement, then?

Aya: Yes, let's make udon cute.

Anz: Everyone! Let's do our best to make a fun picture book!

[Hero Club room]

Tou: For our country, let us teach the kindergarten children correct knowledge!

Sum: Correct knowledge!

Yuu: Let's do our best, Tougou-san, Sumi-chan!

Kar: Wait a sec, remember what Fuu said? Don't go extreme.

Tou: Of course, Karin-chan! I understand completely!

Sum: Yes, Karin-san! Please believe us!

Kar: ...I can't bring myself to trust this duo.

Sek: Not that I'm in any position to say that, but Lily, are you really okay being here?

Fuy: Of course! There's something I want to do in this team.

Sek: Something you want to do? I really hope it's not anything weird...

Kar: Well, if she says there's something she wants to do, what's the problem?

Fuy: So, Tougou-kun, Sumi-kun. What kind of picture book are we making?

Fuy: If you don't have any ideas yet, do you mind if I give mine?

Tou: Of course. We will always be ready for you to open your heart to us.

Fuy: Then, I want the main character to be the one you called for my birthday last year, Kokubo Kamen.

Tou/Sum: !?

Fuy: After hearing about it, I've always wanted to read a picture book about their story.

Sum: Tougou-san, is this a divine revelation...?

Tou: Yes, Sumi-chan. We have just been hit like a lighting strike.

Tou: A morality picture book about Kokubo Kamen!

Sum: Nothing could surpass this!

Tou: Thank you for this wonderful idea, Fuyou-san!

Sum: I'm sure this will become the best picture book ever, Fuyou-san!

Fuy: Right? Right!

Kar: I don't mind you bringing up Kokubo Kamen, but don't forget this is targeted at kids, okay...?

[Hero Club room]

Yos: ...We cannot seem to decide on a theme.

Mas: What do we do?

Chi: No one here is good at writing stories, or has anything they want to do, so we're pretty much stuck.

Tak: We at least decided we wanted to make something that'll make the kids happy, but that's all.

Fuu: Don't worry! It's too soon to panic!

Mas: No, Fuu-chan. I think it's about time we start to panic.

Yos: The other groups seem to have started writing their stories.

Fuu: Urgh... I-It's fine!

Fuu: I'm the one who found our puppet play ideas before we got so many members! I'm sure I'll find something this time!

Tak: Idea... I know! Let's have Gun-chan's latest game give us hints!

Chi: My latest game...

Chi: Okay, Takashima-san. I'll try coming up with something with it as reference.

Chi: ...Inubouzaki-san?

Fuu: Oh, got an idea?

Chi: The main character, after meeting the heroine, gains a strange power in his left eye.

Fuu: Mh, mh.

Chi: And sets on to fight the whole world to protect the heroine.

Fuu: I see.

Chi: That's the story, what do you think?

Fuu: Why not! It's not bad!

Yos: A wonderful suggestion. Thanks to Koori-sama, we have now decided our story.

Mas: Eh, we're really going with this?

Yos: Of course. Now, who will be drawing...

Tak: Uu~m, it sounds interesting, but isn't it too hard for kindergarten kids?

Chi: Yeah, like Takashima-san said, the target age is a little too high. Let's give up on this idea.

Yos: Yes. It is a terrible shame, but we will have to find another idea for a story.

Mas: ...Ever so true to yourself.

Shi: ...If making a story is too hard, maybe it doesn't have to be the main focus.

Fuu: Mh? Meaning what?

Shi: Pop-up books. One book inside a normal book, I'm sure a picture book you can touch would be fun.

Mas: If we can't win against older Sonoko-chan's story, wanna try this approach, Fuu-chan?

Fuu: Yes, nice idea, Shizuku! Let's think about what kind of drawings we'll make!

Tak: What drawings would be fun to see pop out?

Chi: Let's try drawing a bunch to see.

Yos: I am certain the children would love something you have drawn, Koori-sama.

Fuu: You too Shizuku, keep the ideas coming! We're counting on you!

Shi: Yes.
