「If you help us, we will advertise your store at our imitation store. Also, please let us put up a poster made from this flyer in your store. It will attract customers to our booth and at the same time, we think it will enhance your reputation as a contributor to the local school. We will put the words, “We are cooperation with the school festival” on the poster.」

「You mean a poster similar to this picture? U……umu…….」

I am getting a little sick of handing over the photo to someone who was so attracted to Yui’s body but there’s nothing I can do here.

「Understood. I’ll cooperate.」

「「Thank you very much」」

Usano and I bowed together.

「We’ll advertise this store in our class too. We’ll say that the owner is a nice guy.」

I did not forget to woo him a little upon leaving the store.

「You’re so amazing when you were negotiating with the owner.」

Usano looked up at me with the eyes behind her bangs.

「Restaurant chains are basically rivals but tableware business don’t compete with each other for customers.」

We’ve already investigated that tableware store as the go-to place of the manager of Yuri Miller.

Conversely, the owner of the tableware store is also a Yuri Miller patron.

That’s in addition to their commercial relationship.

「And these, flyers are amazing.」

「I had a hard time using the software due to its lack of functionality.」

The style sense I used to make the flyer and posters were future standards.

During my black company days, I was forced to create materials that had to look good.

Although not as good as professional designers, it should be good looking.

Taking advantage of my position as a member of the school festival committee, I was able to secure four sponsorships for our class.

The most significant of these were being able to obtain materials for the uniforms from a handicraft store and a discount on posters from a printing company.

Of course, having posters on the wall did not necessarily double Yuri Miller’s sales.

Though I still have a few more tricks up on my sleeve.

「Nanba-kun, are you really a high schooler…..? I feel like, you’re more reliable than a teacher……」

When I was a high schooler, I never thought of negotiating with people outside the school.

「I’m just a normal high schooler who can’t do what he wants without relying on adults.」

「I don’t think a normal high school student would say that……No, I’m glad Nanba-kun was here. I’m sure I couldn’t have done anything on my own.」

「I’m sure you’ll be fine on your own. By the way, I have something I want Usano to do.」

「Me? Is there anything I can do…..」

「You’re good at computer, aren’t you?」

「I only know how to mess up a few things because I like it…」

「That’s good enough. That ability will definitely help you in the future and more importantly, we need it now more than ever.」

「Is that so?」

As usual, her eyes are hidden by her bangs but I think I hear a little joy mixed into the tone of her voice.

「What exactly do I have to do?」

「Build a website」

「I’ve tried messing around with HTML for a while but I’ve never made a website…..」

「That’s good enough. I’ll teach you how to make it.」

「Nanba-kun knows about computer too…..?」

In another three years, such knowledge would be easily available.

The internet is still not very common at this time but it soon become an infrastructure.

As someone who loves the underground atmosphere of the internet, I’m a little sad.
