I Reincarnated and Tried to Become a Genius Child Actor. I Want to Quit. Chapter 17 Part2

Chapter 17 part 1 has about 200 more words added to the end of it so read that first.

"And so, I will clean during lunch break."

"I will help."

"I will also help!"

"No, no, that would be seriously bad, I will clean it by myself."

Sayuri-chan, Ayano-chan and I are sitting down at desks in the cla.s.sroom eating lunch. I told them I met with Daisuke last break. Both of them offered to help clean, but the school hires professional cleaners to clean the school building, such ch.o.r.es as cleaning are unrelated to children of the upper echelons of society so it would make me feel awkward to accept their help.

"It's okay. I think it would be better to eat our bentos in a place that has no people… All of us can clean the old school building, besides don't you think it would be nice to eat lunch there from now on?"

Sayuri-chan proposes in a quiet voice. Many students use the cafeteria, so even though the cla.s.sroom is available for people to have lunch, few people take advantage of it. We always speak in quite voices to avoid being heard by others. Besides, when students come back from the cafeteria it is hard to hear each other conversing, and sometimes Ichinomiya-san's group will gaze at us, making us feel uncomfortable.

It might be nice to eat in the deserted old school building. However…

"Have students that don't have a proper reason to go to the old school building been prohibited from entering?"

Although it would be okay occasionally, I have a feeling that it would not be good if we always ate there.

"How about we create a new club and register a room in the old school building as our clubroom?"

"eh, you can do that?"

"I think we can, but…"

There is no SOS brigade, but can we really register a club so easily? (TN: That is a Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya reference I think.)

"Um, about that, I am actually a member of the book club, though there are no other members due to them graduating to middle school… But the club room still exists…" (TN: It would have been better if it was the literary club instead.)

"Is it in the old school building?"

"Yes! There were few people and it is a corner room on the second floor."

"Okay, let's head over there after we finish lunch."

This is the first I have heard of Ayano-chan being in the book club. Well, she does look like a literature girl, I think that she would look nice with a book. (TN: Do you know what is better than a literature girl? A literature loli.)

When we finished eating lunch, we headed to the old school building. On the way, we saw students on the first floor eating lunch from the Shogi and Go clubs. It seems that it is okay to eat at the old school building during lunch.

The main clubs seem to be concentrated on the first floor, with no one on the second floor. The book club was in an obscure corner of the second floor where there was poor sunlight.

"This is good! You do not have to worry about the surroundings when you eat lunch and it might be alright to play with Daisuke."

"I used to eat lunch here with a senior until they graduated, but when it was only me, even though there was no one around I heard sounds. I heard a strange voice, causing me to be scared and as a result I have tried to avoid coming here…" (TN: This is the type of thing you would like to know before you decide on a club room.)

When I heard that, the atmosphere seemed to change and become haunted like. Because this is an old building it wouldn't be strange for there to be one or two ghosts.

"Well, even if there are ghosts it doesn't mean they are vengeful, so there is no need to worry, right?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I listen to scary stories often, but you don't hear about many people getting cursed and dying from ghosts."

If you look more closely it is more ordinary than it appears. While I find it scary, there few psychic phenomena. That's why there can't be ghosts. However, I reincarnated and retained my memories and soul. So, it could be that there is a soul without a body. (TN: Could the author be preluding to a possessing of our loli protag. Comment if you want a fanfic of it.)

"Well, maybe. Let's clean-up for the time being."

I scared myself from thinking about frightening things.

When we started cleaning up while signing, for some reason Ayano-chan was scared.

We cleaned up using division of labour. The second floor of the old school building seems to be outside of their cleaning area so, it was originally cleaned by club members, I heard this from Ayano-chan who is quite skilled in cleaning.

"Well then, I request that Sayuri-chan and I become club members. Ayano buchou!" (TN: Want that left as buchou or changed to chief?)

"Eh? I am Buchou?"

"Well, Ayano-chan is our senpai in book club, so please take care of us Buchou!"

*pachi pachi* Sayuri-chan and I applauded, Ayano-chan quicly felt embarra.s.sed. I wonder if it is fine to report to the staff room later to tell them?

My smartphone vibrated after I put away the cleaning tools into the locker and went back to the cla.s.sroom. As I examined it, "I am waiting in front of the main gate. When will you come out?" A message came from s.h.i.+nozaki-san. Which reminds me, once I finished lunch I had to leave early because I was going to work. I forgot, my bad.

"I'm sorry, I have a job to go to, so I will return to the cla.s.s room ahead of time and get home."

I tell the two of them and jump off the window again. I run back to the cla.s.sroom, before changing to a brisk walk and telling the teacher I was leaving in advance. I hurried to the front gate with my school bag. The car had stopped at the roundabout with s.h.i.+nozaki-san standing frustrated in front of it.

"Sorry, I was late!"

"Your late, I want to scold you, but we do not have much time so hurry."

I was glared at over her gla.s.ses and prompted to get in with her chin. Seems she will be giving me a sermon in the car…

I picked this up at the recommendation of Lys(Ebisu).
