Chapter 200: 1.2
Yōsuke, who had gotten permission to use the classroom monitor, typed on his tablet.
"When it comes to cultural festivals, food, haunted houses, and the like are the orthodox ones, aren\'t they?"
Food-related, haunted houses, mazes, cafes, live music, plays, etc. The obvious ones are added and listed one by one.
"The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. If we serve food and drinks, we can expect the adults of the guest house to come and take advantage of it. However, this may increase the competition..."
"It\'s just a matter of budget. Compared to things like haunted houses and mazes, which can be built once and cost less thereafter, it will inevitably be more expensive."
Some of the music equipment can be rented for a fee, but the number is limited, so the sooner we register the better. There is also the question of how many students are skilled enough to make a profit.
"We have 39 students in our class. That means that the budget we are looking at right now is 195,000 points. Honestly, it\'s not a lot to work with.
It\'s not an easy decision to make when it comes to food."
"I have a suggestion, if you don\'t mind."
"I welcome your input, Horikita-san."
"As Hirata-kun said, the budget we can allocate for the festival is limited. But no matter how much we discuss it on the table, there are still many things we don\'t know. Even if we were to cook takoyaki at a food stall, we would need to know what ingredients to use, our skills, and many other things. If that\'s the case, maybe we should bring our ideas to the class and test them repeatedly, even if we have to use private points."
Many of the students nodded their heads in agreement at this suggestion.
It\'s true that it\'s important to actually try out cooking, serving, or whatever you do. Of course, there is a risk of paying for it out of one\'s own pocket, but it\'s easy to dismiss it as a necessary upfront investment if it will pay back in class points later on.
"But... Oh, I don\'t mean to say anything bad about the current idea, but I think some people will be reluctant to do anything if they have to pay for it themselves." Matsushita said, fearing that some of the students would be left to their own devices and not put any effort into the cultural festival.
"That\'s fine. I don\'t want to waste my time with a random idea.
However, I can\'t ignore the people who are trying their best to contribute. If you come up with an idea for an event that you think is a good idea, you should actively present it. If the idea is adopted, how about paying a reward to the planner?"
"Yes, that\'s a good idea. It\'s not a bad idea to reward people for their hard work and contributions."
"We\'ll work out the specifics later, but for example, if we get 100 class points for the festival, the entire class will get 390,000 private points per month. I\'ll divide this by the number of people who planned it and give it to them as a reward. This way, there should be no complaints."
If we were to have five events, that would be 78,000 points per person.
If the number of people who came up with the idea or helped out is too large to divide, you can divide the total amount by the total amount for two or three months. This way, the students who are actively involved in the festival will benefit, and the students who cut corners will benefit later on. Most importantly, if it would increase class points, I wouldn\'t be opposed to it.
"The other thing we need to do is to keep all the information private so that no one can steal our ideas. Whether you\'re at school, in the dorms, or at the Keyaki Mall, be careful what you say."
Thorough confidentiality. This was very important for the next two months of preparation.
