âPresident, I donât want to trouble Takanashi-san with me!â
Sara-senpai nonetheless plans to refuse for that reason.
Considering Senpaiâs personality, causing trouble for me is why she doesnât want me to be a member.
Because if I were in her position, I would say that too.
However, Iâm not going to refuse this proposal.
Itâs not just because I want to repay the favor, but I want to do it.
I donât know what I can do, but if I can help my Senpai in any way, I think this is something I should accept.
âPresident, I accept. To be honest, I donât think I can be of any use as a student council member when I donât know what I can do, but if I can help Sara-senpai even a little, I want to do it.â
âTakanashi-san, I donât want toâŠâ
Sara-senpai tried to stop me.
Of course, I would do that too if it were the other way around.
Thatâs why.
âSara-senpai, if you were in my position⊠What would you do if you saw me as a Vice President that had a lot of work to do?â
âOf course, if I can be of help to you, Takanashi-san, I would be happy to- Ah!â
We genuinely think alike â Senpai and I.
Then, indeed, she understands how I feel.
âWell⊠Takanashi-san, arenât you inconvenienced? Joining the Executive Committee of the Student Council means that you will be on the managing side, mainly for school events. You will no longer be able to enjoy the events, and they will take up a lot of your time. But if you stillâŠâ
âStill, if I can help Sara-senpai even a little, I want to do it.â
Trying to persuade Senpai, I firmly stared at her eyes to convey my seriousness.
She was a little troubled, but Senpai nodded.
âTakanashi-san, I look forward to working with you.â
âLikewise, looking forward to working with you, Senpai.â
With this, I could finally be of help to Sara-senpai.
All I have to do now is improve on what I can do and do my best.
âWith Satsukawa-san agreeing, this case is now closed. Things will be a lot easier.â
âNow, what should we do to solve the problem of these guys?â
âItâs impossible! Thereâs no way to solve it! Looking at how they interact, thereâs no place to interrupt! Unconsciously going off to their own world, itâs worrying what will happen in the futureâŠâ
ăăăâŠâŠâŠăăă
They were saying something over there, but I honestly didnât listen to it because I didnât care.
Itâs better to think more about what will happen from now on.
âItâs decided. Then, Takanashi-kun, let me welcome you to the Student Council. I look forward to working with you.â
âYes, thank you very much!â
I said my thanks with a bow, and everyone applauded.
I saw Sara-senpai with a big smile, the President and the ladies smiling, and the men⊠with complex smiles.
Thus, I became a member of the Executive Committee of the Student Council to support Sara-senpai.
âWeâll do the proper introductions next time. Then, everyone, dismiss.â
Now, itâs time to head home.
As expected, itâs very tiring.
And before I knew it, Sara-senpai had brought my luggage from the next room.
Sheâs as fast as ever.
âTakanashi-san, thank you for your hard work even though you are not feeling well. Now letâs go home. Will your relatives visit you today?â
âAh! N-no, I heard they were busy with something.â
I completely forgot.
Sara-senpai would surely forgive me if I told her, right?
âIn that case, Iâll make dinner for you today. Mou~, you need to be well-nourished since you are still sick, okay?â
âShe said <<Mou>>âŠâ
âKyaah~! Cooking dinner for a boy at his house! Satsukawa-san, youâre so boldâŠâ
ăăăGuhooo!!! x3ăăă
In the end, we didnât realize that we had dropped an extra-large bomb.
ââââââââââââââ
After finishing the feast Senpai had prepared for me, the phone rang as I relaxed.
By the way, I offered to escort Senpai home, but she got mad at me and told me to rest.
The call was from Yuji.
Lately, we have been talking more than before.
âHello, Yuji.â
âHello, Kazunari. Has it been hard being sick?â
âWell, a lot has happened, and I am so tired.â
I talked to Yuji when I caught a cold, and he knows that Sara-senpai has been coming all this time. By the way, Yuji told me to stop Sara-senpai from showing sympathy.
When I finished talking about todayâs events and the student council, Yuji asked me in a serious tone.
âHey Kazunari, can I ask you something?â
âHmm? Whatâs with the serious tone?â
âYou, what do you think of Satsukawa-san?â
âWhyâŠ?â
âI know youâre overly concerned about Satsukawa-san, especially since she asked you to be her friend.â
ââŠâ
Whatever position Sara-senpai wishes for me, it doesnât matter as long as I can stay with her from now on.
More than that, I donât want to let go of this happiness.
âWell, let me ask you this one thing. Iâll ask this only once, and you wonât hear about it again. So, tell me honestly.â
âOkay.â
âKazunari, do you like Satsukawa-san? Do you see her as a woman?â
Itâs not a question that is difficult to answer.
Because from the very beginning, I already have my answer.
âYeah, I like Sara-senpai. I love her, butâŠâ
âStop. Thatâs the only thing I need to hear. I understand. Thanks for honestly answering how you feel. Then, good night. (I got the answer as Yuzuki said, but I guess I need to ask her to follow up on the opposite).â
With that, Yuji hung up the phone.
Thatâs right. I like Sara-senpai.
But if I tell her that and itâs not the position Sara-senpai wants me to be in, then..
