ââSo, why is the class rep here?â\n\n\nOn the day of the concert, Minatoâs eyebrows furrowed quizzically when he saw the twin-tailed girl who showed up at the meeting place.\n\nă\nThe twin-tailed girl, the class rep, smiled and opened her mouth to Minato.\n\n\n\nâI got a ticket from a kind person.â\n\n\nMinato and Shotaâs gazes turned to me as they listened to the class repâs words, dressed up like a girl and looking even cuter for it.\n\nAnd then, with just their eyes, they asked, âDid you prepare this?â. Itâs not me who prepared it, Iâm afraid.\n\n\nIt was probably Saotome-san.\n\n\n\nThinking back, the day after the class rep said she wanted to go to the concert.\n\nWhen she came to school in the morning, she found a ticket to the concert and a letter on her desk.\nă\nThe class rep reported it only to me.\n\nShe wanted to keep it a secret from Minato and the others because she wanted to surprise them when they met her on the day.\n\n\nI would have been suspicious if I had suddenly found a ticket to a live concert at the desk. But it was the same as the ticket I had, and there was a letter addressed to the class rep in cute, girlish letters, so I decided to believe it.\n\n\nAnd the letters were very similar to the ones Saotome-san had written on the memo paper in her previous correspondence with me.\n\n\nBut when I asked Saotome-san about it, she denied it with great vigor.\n\n\nThe reaction I saw confirmed that she had prepared it.\n\nHow in the world could she have prepared it, and why is she desperately trying to hide it even though she prepared it for the class rep?\n\n\n\nTwo possibilities come to mind.\n\nâOne is that Saotome-san is a fan of Nekoto-chan and gave the live ticket she had prepared for herself to the Class-rep, and she didnât want her to worry about it, so she gave it to her anonymously.\n\nă\nThe other reason is that Saotome-san is in a position to prepare the tickets and does not want people to know that she is in that position.\n\nNormally, the former would be the case.\n\nSaotome-san is a very kind girl, and I wouldnât be surprised if she thinks that she doesnât want the other person to care about her.\n\nHowever, there was one thing that bothered me.\n\nThat is, Saotome-san has the same anime voice as Nekoto-chan.\n\nâIn light of this, my view of her has changed completely.\n\nă\n\nCould it be that she isâ?\n\n\nâHey, letâs go quickly, Kazehaya-kun.â\n\nâEh? Oh, yeah, thatâs right.â\n\n\n\nAs I was thinking about it, the Class-rep, who was all dressed up, happily tugged on the sleeve of my shirt, and I came back to my senses and nodded in confusion.\n\nWhat am I thinking about when Iâm about to go to Nekoto-chanâs concert that Iâve been looking forward to?\n\nItâs not something I can understand even if I think about it right now, and even if my hypothesis is correct, I shouldnât pry if she wants to keep it a secret.\n\n\nThatâs the polite thing to do for her.\n\nHaving gathered my thoughts, I looked at the Class-rep again and smiled.\n\nâNow, I have to be careful not to let class rep get lost today.â\n\nâIâm not sure what you mean by that, Kazehaya-kun.ăăAre you treating me like a child?â\n\nI was jokingly saying that, Class rep hit me repeatedly on my body.\n\nYou canât help but want to treat her like a child when she acts like this.\n\nAnd with the concert hall overflowing with people, itâs nothing strange if I lost sight of the petite Class-rep.\n\n\nBut the Class-rep didnât seem to have liked what I said.\n\nAlso, Minato and Shotaâs eyes were glaring at me, was that so bad?\n\năI was beaten up by the angry Class-rep and glared at by my two best friends as I made my way to the venue.\n\n\n\n\n\nâAnd then, the long-awaited concert by Nekoto-chan and the others.\n\nAs they continued to polish to advertise themselves without a big backup, their singing and dancing were of such high quality that the audience was mesmerized.\n\nArisa-chan, who was in charge of the center of the group, had such a beautiful voice that it was said to be that of an angel.\n\nAnd the dancing of the three of them, including Nekoto-chan and Clara-chan, is as good as professional dancers.\n\nThereâs no way they wouldnât be popular.\n\n\n\nIn factâŠ.\n\nâNekoto-chaaaahhhhn!â\n\nAfter listening to a few songs, the Class-rep standing next to me was very excited.\n\nShe is usually trying to make herself look mature, but inside she is just a child.\n\nNow she forgot about her outlook and got excited.\n\n\nMinato and Shota, who didnât know that the Class rep was childish, were expected to be puzzled. But they were so focused on their favorite idols that they didnât notice the Class-repâs behavior.\n\nă\n\nâOn the contrary, they were shouting out the names of their favorite idols, just like the Class-rep.\n\nă\n\nI feel like Iâve been left behind.\n\n\nâ Hey hey, Nekoto-chan is cute⊠Sheâs so cute!â\n\n\nThe song ended, and the Class-rep, who had been excitedly waiting for the next song to start, spoke to me with a childlike glint in her eyes.\n\nă\nI looked at the Class-rep with a smile on my face, thinking that she had completely fallen for Nekoto-chan.\n\n\nâYouâre right, Nekoto-chan is cute. Sheâs the cutest girl in the world.â\n\n\nArisa-chan, who has the singing voice of an angel but is also popular as a young lady character.\n\nă\nClara-chan is the younger sister with a poisonous tongue and a mysterious charisma.\n\nNekoto-chan is thought to be inferior to these two, or perhaps she is being marketed by the office as a cat-eared character with her hair styled into cat ears.\n\nHowever, her anime voice is just as attractive as Arisa-chanâs singing voice, and even without the cat ears, her appearance is just as good as the two.\n\nAbove all, the smile she gave to all her fans had a charm that charmed everyone.\n\nI think sheâs the cutest girl in the world.\n\nBut when the Class-rep heard my words, instead of the radiant smile she had on her face a while ago, she gave me a complicated smile.\n\nI wonder whatâs going on?\n\n\nâI donât know of any other person who could be so cruel.â\n\n\nThe person who muttered this was Minato, who was on the opposite side of the Class-rep from me.\n\n\nCruel?\n\nIs that about me?\n\n\nBut as soon as I tried to ask, the next song started.\n\nPrivate conversations were strictly prohibited during the song.\n\nSo I changed my mind and decided to enjoy Nekoto-chanâs live performance.\n\n\nâIt was during this time that an incident occurred.\n\n\n\n
