"So, Xiaohua, what exactly do you want to learn?!"
In the end, no one convinced anyone in the debate, so everyone turned their attention to Shirasaki Hana, who was at the center of the discussion.
"Xiaohua, tell me yourself, what subject do you want to study?"
Shirasaki Hana trembled. "What I'm saying is, why do we have to learn something so early? She's only in fifth grade. Can't she just have a year of fun first?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Don't be afraid, we're not some devils forcing you to study~ But if Xiaohua isn't interested in these basic subjects, why not try the hobby subjects?"
"Take the music that Little Lonely just mentioned."
Did Lonely Sister just speak? Shirasaki Hana looked over in confusion.
Goto Ichiri scratched her head awkwardly, while Hayasaka Ai, sitting next to her, was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't even heard it herself; Uchiha Ryo's hearing was so good.
Shirasaki Hana brought the steamed bun to her mouth. "Hmm, but I'm not good at music, and I don't really like things like drawing either..."
Rumi Tsurumi, who was standing nearby, handed over the Romance of the Three Kingdoms she was reading. "Reading books? Like these extracurricular readings. Anyway, they're not for exams, so you can just read them casually to broaden your thinking."
"Is that so?" Xiaohua nodded. "Then I can try reading a book!"
Amakusa Shino, who had been silent all along, suddenly brightened up. "The Three Kingdoms! Oh, right! Our Classic Literature Club hasn't had any activities lately, has it?"
"How about we all study the Romance of the Three Kingdoms together?"
Shirogane Miyuki suddenly revealed a confident smile. The Three Kingdoms? He had read both the classic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the historical record of the Three Kingdoms, and he was very confident about this event.
"Minister, it's rare for you to come up with such a good suggestion."
Amakusa Shino narrowed her eyes. "Shirogane-kun, don't think that just because you're the student council president you can disobey the club president! Clubs are still very important!"
Uchiha Ryo casually remarked, "President, the student council controls all the activity funds for each club."
Amakusa Shino: "..."
Yukino Yukinoshita picked up the conversation. "However, it's fine for the club activities the club leader mentioned to study the Three Kingdoms, but we should agree beforehand whether we'll study 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' or 'Records of the Three Kingdoms'."
One is a novel, and the other is a historical record; they cannot be discussed together at all.
Amakusa Shino cleared her throat. "We're the Classic Literature Club! Of course, we focus on novels; researching history isn't our business."
Seemingly getting more and more excited as she spoke, Amakusa Shino looked directly at everyone present.
"Although only a portion of the people here are from our Classical Literature Department, how about we have a group discussion? Everyone is welcome to participate!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand, "I'll pass. You students can discuss it yourselves."
Chitanda Eru stared with those eyes that shimmered with purple light, "Mmm! Let's all join in, it'll be really fun."
Yu Ishigami fell silent. He wanted to refuse, but he wasn't a teacher like Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Why do we have to study when we're on a group trip? We agreed it was a trip, why not go out and have some fun?!
Goto Ichiri wanted to go back to her room; the mere mention of history gave her a headache, even exaggerated versions like those in novels...
Suddenly, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had just said she was going to quit, seemed to have thought of something fun and clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.
"I have a suggestion: why don't you split into groups for a competition? One side will present arguments about the Three Kingdoms period, and the other side must provide answers that satisfy the presenter!"
"As for the grouping, let's have two teams, one for boys and one for girls."
Miyuki Shirogane raised his hand in protest! "That's not fair! There are only four of us boys, and if you don't count Hiratsuka-sensei, there are still ten girls left."
Hiratsuka Shizuka pouted, "There's no such thing as fairness in this world. How about this, those two cats over there count as the boys' group too, so it's 6 against 10 for you."
Yanyun-chan: "Meow... (I can't speak in front of people...)"
Cat Teacher: "Zzz......(Eat, sleep, and you'll be fine~)"
Uchiha Ryo: "Then I'll play along with you guys. Shirogane and Natsume, are you two okay with this?"
Having long been familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shirogane Miyuki confidently replied, "Of course!"
Having learned a little about it, Natsume nodded. "I only know a little bit."
Yu Ishigami said, "You three keep it up. Anyway, if you ask me, I'll just admit defeat..."
The first question! Asked by Chika Fujiwara from the girls' team!
"Hehe, um, can I ask my teammates for advice?"
Uchiha Ryo vehemently objected. "How can that be! You already have more people; if you continue with this information-sharing scheme, we can't compete. However, you can choose to abstain!"
Fujiwara Chika sighed. He didn't know much about this novel; he only knew about Guan Yu...
"By the way! Could you tell me how Hua Tuo and Guan Yu fought in the novel?"
Shirogane Miyuki frowned in thought. "Uh... um???"
Uchiha Ryo gasped. "Hiss—good question, I can't even answer it."
Natsume paused, taken aback. "Although I haven't read much, is it possible that they never fought in the novel...?"
Fujiwara Chika stood up, hands on her hips, striking a victorious pose.
"Hahaha, you lost the very first match. You haven't even heard of the story of 'warming wine before beheading Hua Tuo'!"
"....."
The quiet scene made Fujiwara Chika a little embarrassed. "Why isn't anyone celebrating with me? Did I say something wrong?"
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Fujiwara-kun, the story in the novel is called... 'Slaying Hua Xiong while the wine is still warm'."
Good heavens, what kind of unofficial history is Fujiwara reading? It's really something else!
Awkwardness seemed to be constantly appearing on Fujiwara Chika's face, and the quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by Ishigami Yu.
"Hahaha! Fujiwara-senpai clearly hasn't even read Romance of the Three Kingdoms before making up this kind of question! Why don't you just admit defeat like I did? Why insist on being stubborn! This is the price of being cunning. I've learned my lesson from your guidance, senpai!"
The boys' team used the skill "Add insult to injury," and it seems Fujiwara Chika is already ashamed and ready to admit defeat...
"Wait a minute!! I want to ask more questions!"
Fujiwara Chika took a deep breath to compose herself.
"Then! Hua Tuo clearly has a grudge against Guan Yu, so why is he treating him? I'm only asking Shi Shang the question; the three of you are not allowed to help him!"
Yu Ishigami withdrew his arrogant expression. "What...grudge do they have?"
Fujiwara Chika chuckled, "Warm wine before beheading Hua Xiong, right? Hua Tuo was Hua Xiong's relative, so of course he had a grudge against him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, both the boys' team and the girls' team looked at Fujiwara Chika with pity.
Only Ishigami Yu, who had also never read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, fell into deep thought.
"I see!"
"Eh? You haven't seen it either!" Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in surprise.
Ishigami nodded. "But didn't you yourself say that Hua Xiong was killed while the wine was still warm? What does that have to do with Guan Yu?"
"....."
Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath to calm herself. "How about we talk about the Three Kingdoms another time?"
Chitanda Eru nodded. "Yeah, the weather's nice today, let's go to the beach. Maybe next time!"
Kaguya Shinomiya tugged at her friend's arm, signaling Chika Fujiwara to sit down quickly...don't embarrass yourself.
On the other side, Uchiha Ryo and Shirogane Miyuki also nodded, indicating that this Three Kingdoms discussion conference had come to an end.
.....
Yu Ishigami: "Wait a minute, don't leave! So, was my answer correct or not?!"
