[Hachiken walks her back to a dog house and ties Vice President to a long chain and makes sure he has food and water before standing up again. He pulls out a notebook with unfortunately, a lot of things listed.]
But I wanna help! Everything is easier with someone to help out, even if all they do is keep you company. When you take everything on yourself, it just wears you out and you don't get to enjoy it.
[Well if she says so. He takes her towards the field where they are setting up the Ban'ei race first, so he can check over the land, to make sure the horses won't get hurt.]
[She watches with interest, even though she doesn't really understand what he's doing.]
So why are you doing all of this by yourself, Hacchi? What's the rest of your class doing?
-Something fun, probably. Who wants to look at dirt? Srsly, Hajime.-
[She hates to admit that Katze-san has a point, but...Katze-san kind of has a point. Hopefully they didn't just dump the boring jobs on poor Hacchi and ditch him.]
[Is anyone else involved in this festival at all? She's really beginning to wonder. If she were in charge, she'd organize everything over Galax and everyone would be able to take on what they were best at doing. Hacchi hasn't even taken out his phone once, if he has one, so she's pretty sure he doesn't have an account.]
So Hacchi can delegate! Except he's doing it all wrong! You need to trust people to do their part!
-Right, right! GAH I AGREED WITH HAJIME!-
[Actually, Katze-san was very good at delegating. She doesn't think Hacchi would take lessons from him, though, what with the whole "planet-destroying alien" thing.]
Ah, I wasn't going to do anything else but the third years came and uh, insisted.
[He smiles weakly. Yeah, he's such a push over. When he gets to the oven he starts poking at it, it's not heating up like it should. It's just a masonry oven and when he examines the back, there's a brick loose.]
That's when you take a deeeeeeep breath [She demonstrates.] and say "NO!" You can't do everything for everyone, even if they ask. You'll just end up doing more and more and more and more until BOOM!
[She tosses herself on the ground and lies motionless for a bit before hopping back to her feet.]
[Hajime pokes him in the cheek and frowns at him. Now he's just faking happy. That's even worse than not having fun (which he's doing too). Everyone keeps asking him to do things, but no one has stayed to help him yet. He's been completely by himself the whole time and that's awful.]
[He gets off course again when some boys ask him to help with the potato farming exhibit and he's given a big box of potatoes to plant for people to find. "Thanks!" the guy said cheerfully.

I have to go to the class event next, they're finishing the stalls.

We need to check out the oven, I think. It's in the woods.

Hacchi must be really important...

Date: 2014-01-03 04:41 am (UTC)No, I'm not cooking but I'm overseeing it. There's a group of people who wanted to use it and somehow it became mine...

Date: 2014-01-03 06:14 am (UTC)Hacchi is very busy, so you're gonna have to find someone else to plant these! I bet it'd be really fun if you did it yourslf!
(no subject)
Date: 2014-01-03 07:02 am (UTC)Yeah, I know. I know. It's fine, I'll take care of it.
[He sighs a little.]
Well it won't take me that long.
