“Thank you for taking the trouble. I’m sorry to have you treat me to lunch.”
By chance, the lunch with Chairman Sanada came to an end, and the three teacups lined up on the living room table gave off the fragrant aroma of black tea.
Chairman Sanada, sitting across from me, elegantly lifted her teacup while still wearing her black gloves. To my left was Shiramine. I could see a hint of caution in her expression.
“…Senpai, why is this person here?”
Shiramine whispered to me, her eyes fixed on the chairman with a puzzled look. She seemed to dislike something, her face sullen.
“Is it a get-well visit?”
She brought a fruit basket, after all…
“Yes. Thank you for the treat.”
Chairman Sanada placed the teacup on the saucer and narrowed her slanted eyes in satisfaction.
“Um, what brings you here today…?”
I asked, just to be sure.
“A visit. I feel responsible for what happened yesterday, since I gave the instructions. However, I have a few questions.”
“Questions?”
…At least it’s not about how to make curry.
“Yes. Today is a weekday. In other words, it’s a school day. I told the teacher about yesterday and got permission, but I don’t think you did, did you?”
H rgaze slowly moved toward Shiramine.
Yes, it is strange that Shiramine is here right now.
I don’t remember much, but even though I was injured protecting Shiramine, she came with me to the hospital yesterday, so we’re even.
To be honest, that’s what I thought too.
“I have a sense of responsibility too! That’s why, at least today, I want to…”
Shiramine stood up and argued.
However.
“Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not blaming you. I just didn’t think you two were dating.”
“D-Dating!?”
Shiramine let out a crazy cry and her face turned red. Yeah. Shiramine seems to be quite innocent.
“Chairman Sanada. We’re not dating. We’re just neighbors and get along well.”
“…”
When I corrected her, Shiramine sat down on a chair with a bright red face and pinched my side.
“Ouch!”
…Why? Shiramine wouldn’t want to be misunderstood, would she?
Even when I asked her with my eyes instead of words, Shiramine wouldn’t meet my gaze.
“Is that so? I thought that was the case…”
Chairman Sanada tapped her chin with her finger, deep in thought. After a few seconds, she seemed to have come to some conclusion.
“I see, I see. So that’s the kind of relationship you have. That makes sense.”
“Huh?”
For some reason, I had a very bad feeling about this.
“You don’t have to say any more. I may look like this, but I have some knowledge. It’s not a romantic relationship, but it’s an intimate relationship where they care so much about each other’s bodies that they go this far. That means…”
Sanada-chairman flashes a smug smile and points her finger at me like a young detective who has finally identified the culprit.
“Sx friends. Commonly known as ’sx buddies,’ right?”
“Huh!?”
What a crazy detective! It’s like she caught the victim instead of the culprit!
“No, that’s not it! … Look, Shiramine, you know…”
“Me and senpai… s*x… friend?”
No, no! Shiramine’s brain is short-circuiting from such an absurd answer.
Shiramine is visibly confused, swaying her head as if she’s seeing stars.
“Really, the sexual desire of young people these days is something to be watched. To get so involved with each other after only a week of meeting.”
Chairman Sanada chuckled. It seemed she had no qualms about her own outrageous idea. Scary.
“No, that’s not it!”
“Huh? I see. You were already involved before she enrolled? …Well, this might sound strange coming from me, but that’s pretty risky.”
Saying that, Chairman Sanada made an awkwardly shocked expression.
…No, this is no good. To be honest, I don’t think I can win a verbal battle with this person. However, if I don’t fight, I don’t think it’s possible to clear up this misunderstanding.
“No, that’s not what I meant…”
I tried to calmly explain myself to Chairman Sanada.
“Oh, I’m sorry. This is a bit off topic, but… no, maybe it’s not.”
“What is it?”
If I keep talking about this, my heart won’t be able to take it. Anyway, if she’s willing to change the subject, I have no objection.
I let out a sigh of relief, but it was short-lived.
“—I guess the missionary position is the best, huh? I’ve heard that there are 48 positions, but I’ve heard that the most orthodox one is the missionary position.”
No, I don’t know! I’m still a virgin! I’m the one who wants to know!
“Well, I have no experience with sexual intercourse… in other words, I’m a virgin. But I’m a young woman of marriageable age. It’s not that I’m not interested.”
The beautiful and popular President Sanada is a virgin. Hmm, that’s some pretty risqué information, but right now, clearing up the misunderstanding is more important.
“No, I don’t know! I’m a virgin too!”
“Huh? If you did it with Shiramine, wouldn’t you say you’re not a virgin?”
Oh, no. This person is very opinionated, or rather, she is the type who has absolute confidence in the answers she has come to.
“No, well… First of all, Shiramine and I… That ’s*x friend’ thing is wrong, right?”
“D-Did you just call me your casual partner?”
Ah, this person is the type who gets so caught up in their own world that they can’t come back.
This is completely out of control. I wish that witty vice president would ring the doorbell right now.
“Um, well…”
As I looked like I was at the end of my rope, lifting my teacup, President Sanada started laughing softly.
“Hahaha! You two really make funny faces. Yeah, it’s really worth teasing you about.”
“Eh, what? What’s the joke? Could it be… the story about the president being a virgin?”
“That’s true.”
Is that true… That makes me feel kind of complicated.
“Shiramine-san, come back!”
Even when I waved my hand in front of her face, there was no response. It seems that she is still trapped in her own world.
“Well, I’m going to leave now. If I head to school now, I’ll be able to make it in time for the sixth period.”
“I see. I’ll walk you to the bus stop.”
“That far… No, since you’ve offered, I’ll take you up on it.”
For now, I’ll leave Shiramine alone.
I put on my sandals, still wearing my sweats, to walk the president to the bus stop.
After walking through the residential area for a few minutes, we arrived at the bus stop in front of the school. It was a weekday afternoon, so there was no one at the bus stop.
Chairman Sanada sat down on the bench and tapped the seat next to her
It seemed that she wanted me to sit next to har and keep her company until the bus arrived in about ten minutes. I could tell that was her intention from the look in her eyes.
“Then, I’ll take the seat next to you.”
“Yeah. You’re easy to talk to because you’re so perceptive.”
However, since I didn’t have any common topics of conversation with Chairman Sanada, nor did I know anything about her hobbies or interests, I felt a little awkward.
“Hayami-kun, why didn’t you join the soccer club?”
Suddenly, Chairman Sanada asked me that question. She seemed puzzled, or rather, unconvinced. That’s how it felt.
“That’s a sudden question.”
“It’s natural to wonder. Hayami Ren was called a genius in elementary and middle school. Even if it weren’t me, I’m sure others would wonder too.”
“Who told you that?”
“Aoi-san. She was the coach of the soccer club you belonged to in middle school, and she’s my sister, you know?”
…Indeed, the chairman and Aoi-sensei seemed unusually close. If that’s the case, it’s not surprising that the chairman would ask about soccer.
“The reason I quit is simple. If you can’t become a professional athlete, there will come a time when you have to quit. For me, that time was when I graduated from middle school.”
That’s all. Injuries probably had nothing to do with it. I don’t need to rely on such a convenient excuse.
“You’re so straightforward.”
The president peered at me curiously.
“Well, I’m a high school student. I’m not at an age where I can just chase dreams. Besides… now more than ever, I understand the value of supporting others.”
When I was a player, all I had to do was keep trying. All I had to do was keep my eyes on the goal and keep moving my feet.
So I didn’t know the hardships and difficulties of supporting others behind the scenes.
“…You’ve grown up, haven’t you?”
Saying that, Chairman Sanada stood up. At the same time, a bus slowly approached the bus stop from the corner of my eye.
“See you tomorrow. Give my regards to Shiramine kun.”
With that, Chairman Sanada tapped her commuter pass on the machine and disappeared into the bus.
I shook my head slightly to the driver to indicate that I had no intention of getting on, then stood up.
“Growing up, huh?”
I couldn’t say anything in response to Chairman Sanada’s words, probably because I didn’t understand it myself.
“…?”
I turned around at the bus stop and looked back at the residential street, and saw a figure behind a telephone pole.
“Can I…”
“…”
The figure darted away like a rabbit. From the back, it looked like a girl. She was wearing what appeared to be our school uniform.
“What was that?”
At that moment, I didn’t know.
I had no idea that this would lead to such a thing later on.
