Wrong Order! 1,000,000 Pumpkin Fiasco - 3
Translated by aurora
Commencing meeting recording. The topic for the meeting is “Ways to Consume Pumpkins in Large Quantities Without Wasting Them.”
Once again, I’d like to express my gratitude for your cooperation. I humbly ask for you to keep me in your care.
There’s no need to stress. When we ward mayors work together, our wisdom is as great as Monju’s 1.
…Thank you.
To begin, let us discuss the varieties of pumpkins that we have. They vary in size, with some meant for eating and others meant for decorative purposes.
I see… So that means we’re gonna have to think of every possible solution, aren’t we?
Yes…
What’s wrong, Muu-chan? Is something bothering you?
No… I was just silently appreciating everyone’s kindness. I am sorry to have caused an interruption. Please, continue.
For now, why don’t we just start out with using the edible ones to make baked goods? We could hand them out as a voluntary effort.
We could… get permission… to pass them out… at the school gate… and hand out flyers… about school events… with each one.
If we’re going to do that by hand, why don’t we just make a jumbo pumpkin robot instead?
Umm… I think the “Really Passionate Machine Builders Club” would be down to do it. They’d probably be really excited about it.
Oh, then we should TOTALLY film something with robo action figures! I wanna use a whooole bunch of pumpkin props!
What if we stuffed the treats with preservatives and then made a life-sized pumpkin-house 2 out of it? I mean, I don’t mind doing it if it’s for Muu-chan…
It seems like this is turning out to be a bigger project than we thought. If there are larger pumpkins, then we could make jack-o’-lanterns, couldn’t we?
Jack-o’… lanterns…?
Woah, Raitin! That’s, like, an awesome idea! It’s perf for the season and it’s definitely giving Halloween Party!
……
Yes. A crowd of people wearing them would make quite the spectacle.
Everyone’s gonna be in super dazzable costumes anyway, so wearing them is definitely something we can’t miss out on!
Not only that, but jack-o’-lanterns can also be used as a talisman… Right, Ani-sama?
…It’s not like it’s unheard of to make charms outta small pumpkins…
Do you add preservatives to those too? To prevent them from rotting?
More or less. But it’s only semi-permanent.
Oh I see…
What about… a pumpkin seed throwing competition? To see who can throw them the farthest?
Are you for real?
I’m… being dead serious. Sorry.
Oh… My bad.
No, stop. Don’t apologize. I’ll feel bad…!
Why don’t we create something like a Biotic Chimera~?
Hm?
A bio… what now…?
A Biotic Chimera! We could extract the genes from the pumpkin and infuse them with organic tissue!
…? What does that mean?
It means we can make a weird pumpkin chimera! Doesn’t that sound exciting?
That sounds terrifying, actually.
Have no fear! Once it gains consciousness, I’ll help the pumpkin realize it’s identity and have it communicate with other flora–
Oh, right! What if we create a kiddie pumpkin patch and make a safe space for kids to learn about them?
Ooh ooh! We could make tie dye shirts with pumpkin dye for them!
There are various regions in JPN that hold pumpkin festivals. Shall we use those shirts as a reference?
Hmm… Is it just my imagination, or was everyone’s reaction to my idea a bit underwhelming?
Don’t worry Yowa-san, I get how you feel.
Oho, Taa you understand me!
What if we wrote 100,000 dates worth of pumpkins and used them around HAMA house as a calendar?
Ahaha… That would take up too much space, Yukinii…
Would it? I thought it was a practical way to use the pumpkins without having them go to waste.
Umm, sorry but I don’t think it’ll work… Does anyone else have any ideas?
When there’s ten thousand pumpkins, it becomes a difficult task.
Yes, it is a rather daunting number.
……
(What should I do… everyone’s gone quiet…)
…I am truly grateful for all of your opinions, everyone. Azekawa-san, please stop the recording.
Command processed.
That is enough for today. I apologize, but I will be returning to my room now.
If you will excuse me…
M-Muneuji-kun…!
……
Wh-What should we do? Did none of our ideas sound good to Muneuji-kun?
No… don’t think that’s it… I wonder if we just ended up making him nervous instead…
Don’t worry, Chief. With the look in Muneuji’s eyes just now, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
