It was lunchtime when Kirisaki-senpai persuaded me to join the student council.
The fifth period that followed was P.E. class.
The class was softball.
As a former member of the baseball team, I hope to be at least somewhat active. ……
I had thought that I would be able to play at least to some extent, but things changed in the second half of the class.
The girls were playing volleyball at the edge of the field, but they seemed to finish a little early and came to watch the boys playing softball.
Naturally. Boys are the ones who are full of motivation.
I have that boyishness, too, of course.
Moreover, I was the batter in a situation where the game was about to be turned around, just as I was ordered to do.
“Sakurai kun. Do your best!”
I heard Kitajima-san cheering.
“Sakurai kun! You’re a hero if you hit it here! Go for it!”
I also heard Kirisaki-san’s voice.
“Kirito! If you don’t hit the ball, I won’t know about it!”
I also heard Rinne’s voice.
You’re looking much better, you know.
“…… Hey, Sakurai.”
“………. No, I mean…”
The other pitcher, Washimiya kun, who is clearly jealous.
“Why are you being cheered on by the three most beautiful girls in the school on the second day of your enrollment!”
“…..i-it just happened.”
Washimiya-kun thrusts the ball at me with a bitter smile.
“I’m a former baseball player. I didn’t take it seriously because I didn’t think it was a big deal ……, but things have changed.”
I’m going to pitch with all my might now!
Washimiya-kun says in high spirits.
“I see. Then I’ll give it my all too,…….”
“W-What?”
Kon-kon. The bat is lightly tapped on the ground, and the whole body is relaxed, holding the bat in the air like a god. This is a synonym for the great hitters of the past, Mr. Triple Crown King Hiromitsu Ochiai and Mr. Full Swing Michihiro Ogasawara. This is the stance I take when I really get down to it, called the Kamishu hitting technique.
In exchange for the improvement of my long-hitting ability, I have found it difficult to keep my timing and bat control, but it is my trump card that I have mastered after more than 1,000 daily strikes.
Am I serious in this gymnastic, softball game?
Idiot! I can’t show Kitajima-san how uncool I am!
I’ll hit a home run and make her fall in love with me all over again!
“As I told you in my self-introduction, I used to be on the baseball team. I’m not a big fan, so I wasn’t serious, but I’ll respond to Washimiya’s seriousness too!”
“Interesting!!!! Sakurai! Let’s play!”
A serious match between a man’s will and pride!
Washimiya unleashes a windmill and throws the ball into the air.
The ball comes at me with a roar
It is said that softballs have a feel speed of 130 to 140 km/h.
But with the “buff” of cheers from Kitajima-san, the goddess of victory, and the two beautiful girls, the ball appears to stop in front of me!
Hooking my little finger on the grip end, I swing the bat, held long to the eyeballs, sharply with the rotation of my lower body!
Kaaan！！！！
With a clear sound, the white ball flew up into the sky with great force.
Washimiya-kun looks down.
Convinced of a home run, I thrust my left hand up.
Kitajima-san’s cheers reached my ears.
And as a result of hitting with all my might and power. My batted ball went up and down……
Parin！！！！
“”Ah……””
It broke the windowpane of the “Student Council Room.”
It’s an off-the-field home run!
What a situation to be happy about!
“You hit it too hard with all your might, Sakurai!”
“I-it’s my fault?”
“Of course it is! Who else could it be!”
L-let’s go apologize to Kirisaki-senpai later…..
I really didn’t expect that my first job in the student council would be to ‘apologize’ ……
At any rate, it’s the five-hour break. I went to Kirisaki-senpai, who is a member of the “Class 1, Year 3,” and apologized for breaking the window of the student council room during softball during physical education class.
Kirisaki-senpai laughed a lot and then said
“Sakurai kun. Why don’t you still join the baseball club? I wouldn’t mind you serving on the student council at the same time.”
So he said.
“W-Well, if in name only….”
I felt too guilty, so I told him that I would be happy to be a ghost member.
Then came the sixth period LHR time.
“Nice batting, Sakurai. That was cool.”
Kitajima-san said with a prankish laugh.
I’m sure she’s including the fact that I broke the windowpane. ……
“Haha…… you shouldn’t break a window pane you know…”
As we were talking, Negishi sensei began to explain.
“Now, as I told you in the morning SHR, at this time, we will elect each committee member, including the class committee members. First, we will decide on the class committee members, and then the class committee members will take the initiative in deciding each committee member. That’s the process. Are there any questions?”
I raise my hand.
“Sakurai. Do you have any questions?”
I stood up and answered.
“Yes. I am planning to join the student council. In that case, I don’t think I can afford to be a committee member, so is it possible for me to be relieved of position?”
Negishi-sensei shook his head.
“If that’s the reason, that’s fine. Anything else?”
There were no further questions.
“Okay. Then we’ll start with the class committee members. First, we will ask for nominations. If there are no candidates, we will make a recommendation. Is there anyone who would like to run for a class committee position?”
After Negishi-sensei’s words, Kirisaki-san raised her hand as if it were a matter of course.
“Yes! I will do it! And I’m also going to join the student council, but I’ll do my best in both positions!”
Kirisaki-san replied cheerfully.
“Kirisaki. Your brother is also a class councilor and student council member, are you okay with that?”
Negishi sensei asked a little worriedly, but she shook her head vigorously.
“Yes! I’m fine. I won’t be joining any club activities instead.”
“I see, then it looks like she’s fine. Then, are there any male candidates?”
I’m sure there are many boys who would like to be on the committee with the lovely Kirisaki-san. As I think that
Tsuuun
The first thing I noticed was that no one had raised their hands.
That …… nobody does it?
“Hey, why didn’t anyone raise their hands?”
I ask Kitajima-san next to me.
“I-I don’t know. I thought it was going to be a fight. ……”
Kitajima-san was thinking the same thing as I was. I glanced at Kirisaki-san. Then, only she was smiling happily at this situation.
Is there some kind of an agenda?
As I was thinking this, Kirisaki-san stood up and said to Negishi-sensei.
“Yes Sensei! May I nominate a male class member?”
At those words, the boys in the class shook their bodies except for ‘one’. That one was ……
“I’m not going to decide if it’s going to be like this. Good, Kirisaki. Recommend one person other than Sakurai.”
At these words, Kirisaki cheerfully said the name of one classmate.
“I nominate Hoshinagare kun for the boy’s class committee member!”
