Episode 232: Don't let your guard down ...
"I'm back. Kasumi-san."
I return the greeting of Kasumi-san, who greeted me, with relief.
"You're kind of tired, aren't you? What's wrong?"
"No, no, it's nothing."
Kasumi-san lowers her eyebrows in worry, I wonder if my face has become gloomy due to the new fear given to me by the Student Council President.
I pretend it's normal and shake my head, take off my shoes, and go up to the dormitory.
I want to shut myself up in my room as soon as possible. Or rather, I want to hide in Luck's shadow warehouse.
"Have you had a meal?"
"Yes, I ate outside. I would like to take a bath later."
I ate with the Katsuragi couple and their daughter, and most of it was canned food, so I will take a bath later.
Anyway, I want to shut myself up in my room.
"I understand. Please let me know if you have any questions. If it's what Goshujin-sama says, I'll overcome all odds and make it a reality!!"
"Thank you for thinking of me. If anything comes up, I'll tell you right away."
"Yes. I'll be waiting for you."
Whether she knew my feelings or not, Kasumi-san was so enthusiastic that I feel warm and bow my head lightly.
Kasumi-san tilts her body slightly and smiles.
"I can finally calm down ..."
"Won."
"Ohh ~ , Luck, you're a good guy, yoshi yoshi."
I leave Kasumi-san and go back to my room and sit on my bed, and Luck emerges from the shadows and licks my face to comfort me. I am so happy that I stroke its head as much as I could. Luck also distorts its face happily.
I left Luck at home, but its Kagema was following me, so it must have sensed my fear through the Kagema and rushed over.
What a kind child it is. Ah ~ , the fear is being purified.
If it weren't for luck, I might have been overwhelmed by fear.
I had let my guard down.
I should have known that I didn't understand the Student Council President, but since she never did anything other than casually chatting and having lunch together, I let my guard down.
Then, that happened today.
"Since I kissed Shia, she thinks it's only natural to be kissed herself."
I remember and involuntarily say to myself.
What in the world would cause such a thing?
Always having a fateful encounter - To the Student Council President - I wonder if she misunderstands and thinks that I'm like a boyfriend because such a thing happens.
For the first time in a long time, I shudder at the thoughts of the Student Council President. Either way, I realize once again that I shouldn't let the Student Council President take care of me.
"Fuu. Somehow, I feel like I'm finally back."
"Won."
I lie down on the bed. Luck wants to come next to me, so when I move to the side, Luck comes up next to me and curls up to make it easier to mofumofu.
This kind of thing is also wonderful.
I mofumofu while thinking so as not to be dominated by fear.
"For the time being, tomorrow is Saturday, so I have to come up with some countermeasures by Monday. Ah, right. Shouldn't I use shadow transfer? That way, I can go outside and come back without being caught. I'll do that, yup."
I have a flash of inspiration.
As expected, I don't think she'll say something like yesterday in a place with a lot of people, so when I'm passing through a place with few people, I avoid it with transfer, and when I go somewhere, I go out with transfer, and when I come back, if I transfer, it won't be found out that I'm out.
It's the perfect countermeasure, yup.
"Okay, I feel relieved and want to take a bath, so I'll go take a bath."
"Won."
It's been a long time since I met the crazy Chairman, and I was upset, but as soon as the countermeasure was decided, I felt like taking a bath, so I go straight to the bath.
"Oh, if it isn't Fuhito. Are you going to take a bath now?"
"Yes, Saotome-senpai too?"
"Right. What a coincidence, I'm heading there too."
There are several other people in the changing room, and the one who arrived at the same time as me was Saotome-senpai.
"Well then, let me accompany you."
"Sure."
Unlike the Student Council President, it really was a coincidence that he wanted to take a bath.
"Even so, you really do train. It's a good body."
"No, no, please don't look at me like that, it's embarrassing."
When I take off my clothes, Saotome-senpai next to me, who quickly took off his clothes, puts his hand on his chin and praises me with a serious look. The appearance isn't hidden at all, it's completely visible.
I'm embarrassed, so I twist my body.
"What are you shy about? You can be proud. Also ..."
"Also?"
Saotome-senpai, who admonishes me with a serious expression, cuts off his words in the middle. I tilt my head, not knowing what to say.
"Also, when it comes to a man's soul, I am completely defeated!! Haahaahaaha!!"
"Please excuse me!! I, it's normal!!"
Saotome-senpai lowers his gaze and focuses on my lower body before laughing. I never thought Saotome-senpai would say something like Aki.
I am so embarrassed that I immediately wrap myself in a towel and run away to the bathroom.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh, I'm back to life. How is Fuhito doing these days?"
I go to the bathhouse first, wash my body, and when I am soaking in the bathtub, Saotome-senpai sits down next to me and asks me a question.
Recently, I've been working hard to fulfill Nanami's wishes, and I've been busy helping Shia's parents along the way.
Ah, I'll talk about what happened earlier.
"Well ~ , I was quite busy. Ah, please listen, I'm a little scared of the Student Council President."
I inadvertently leaked about the Student Council President.
"Huh? What about her? What exactly happened?"
"For some reason, she always ambushes me, and when I pass by, she pretends it's a coincidence and approaches me. It would have been nice if it was just that, just recently, I ended up kissing Shia due to force majeure, and she felt I should do the same, so she pressured me, I was terribly scared, hahahahaa ..."
To my Senpai who asked me with a disbelieving expression, I end up talking fluently, probably because of my daily frustration.
"Seriously ... I'm sorry she was being a bother."
"Eh, ah, no, no, I was just a little scared, so please don't worry about it!! Besides, there's no reason for Saotome-senpai to apologize."
When I finish talking, Saotome-senpai who was listening apologizes to me with a very serious face for some reason. I am taken aback by that appearance and am speechless for a moment, but immediately regain my mind and hurriedly wave my hand in front of my body.
It's true that I was scared, but thanks to Luck and coming up with a countermeasure, I was relieved, so I'm sorry if I made him worry.
"No, I've been with her for a long time. It's my fault that I couldn't stop her eccentric behavior. I'll make her stop, so please forgive me."
"Ah, yes, of course."
I nod without saying anything to my Senpai, who bows his head deeply.
"I can't do this. I'll go first."
"Is that so, I'm kind of sorry for that. It's the time to relax in the bath ..."
Senpai shook the hot water and stood up, trying to get out of the bath. To the back of Senpai who has completely lost the mood to take a bath, I apologize because I can't bear the feeling.
"Don't worry about it. It's my fault from the beginning. I'm the one who heard you out. Well then, see you next time."
Senpai looked back at me once and admonished me, and then left the bathhouse.
I wonder what will happen from now on.
I once again lit the flame of anxiety in my heart.
