âI donât want to leave Yuu alone, so can you stop asking to meet privately?â
As I enter the Student Council room, I try to push down my dislike of Houou-senpai.
When Yuu had fallen down the stairs the other day, I felt so upset and frustrated that I couldnât be by his side at that time. All the while, senpai eyes me from the Presidentâs chair.
Hiroto: ââŚI didnât call for this meeting.â
Teruki: ââŚHah? Then who did?â
Genbu: âYe~s⪠itâs me!â
Genbu Airu.
I canât believe my eyes.
Why is this person here�
Genbu: âThis meetingâs about rabbit-chan~. I thought we should share informationâŚWell, sit down.â
So I plop down on the sofa. Houou-senpai is reclining in his seat, looking as relaxed as if he were in his own room. Heâs also glaring at Genbu, clearly holding back from spouting some insults. I recall that this upperclassman had helped Yuu from falling down the stairs. So I thank him.
Teruki: ââŚThank you for helping Yuu the other day.â
Genbu: â Youâre welcome~âŚ.I just wanted to helpâŚyou come off as having ownership over RabbitâŚthatâs no fun.â
Teruki: ââŚ.â
What the.
The playful attitude from before is completely replaced by a terrifying sharpness. Eyes as razor-edged and discerning as knives.
Teruki: âYuu doesnât belong to anyone.â
Genbu: âOh? Are youâŚreplying to me?â
He watches me and breaks into a laugh, smile added in for good measure. Expression softening.
Genbu: ââŚRabbit is interesting, but his surroundings are funny as wellâŚâ
Hiroto: âHa. Hey, Genbu. Just make friends alreadyâŚ!â
Suddenly, the door to the council room bursts open.
Suzaku: ââŚHouou-senpai! Are you there?â
Hiroto: ââŚHuh? Suzaku-kun youâre too earlyâŚjust wait outside.â
As I divert my gaze, I can clearly see Suzaku standing there, gasping for air.
