Chapter 2135: Answering Questions (1)



"Onoda-kun. You're in the Student Council, right? How did you get recruited?"

After some basic questions which included their inquiry about my standing in our class which I truthfully answered in a joking tone saying 'I'm the most popular guy', Eri switched her line of questioning with a detail that's not a secret to them anymore.

I switched out my humble disposition to a bragging one and playfully answered, "How, huh? Let's see. The president heard of my popularity. They went to meet me and took me in as their personal secretary."

I intentionally used a neutral pronoun to hide that the president is a girl. It's quite obvious that if I didn't, her questioning would just spiral down into trying to figure out how close I am to Shizu or who she is to me. After the reveal of my relationship with Fuyu, these girls will surely not be able to calm down.

Let's save that reveal for when I cannot hide it anymore.

"Pfft. You're still insisting on your popularity. Okay. Let's say that's the truth. Why a personal secretary and not just a normal member like someone who can deal with general affairs?"

"Because they wanted to observe me closely."

"Heh... So, what happened to the trial?"

"Apparently I did a great enough job that they didn't want to let me go anymore. Basically, I trapped myself into the position." I shrugged and then smirked while flaunting my excellence.

"Hahaha, you're a riot. Can't you refuse the appointment?"

Finding that hilarious, Eri burst out laughing before handing a follow-up question.

On the other hand, Futaba dismissively rolled her eyes as though she was not impressed with

me.

And lastly, Fuyu looked up at me, her eyes seemingly trying to see through my deepest thoughts. If I'm not wrong, she's already equating the possibility that the president is one of my girls.

"I can but... how should I say it? I'm too kind to turn down the president. I saw how they're struggling in the position. They're kind of strict and authoritarian yet they keep doing things on their own. They only handed tasks to the other members without properly communicating with them."

"Geez. What a kind soul you are, Onoda-kun. Does that mean you took pity on the president?" This girl... I guess she's now invested to know more about Shizu, huh?

Everything I said was the truth. I only hid the fact that I helped her break out of her shell and made her fall for me.

Well, it's still an interesting tale even without those details.

... How did we arrive at this point when Eri was just asking me about my role in the Student Council? How mystifying.

In any case, it's not like I can just deny them.

I calmly smiled, not displaying any ripple on my expression, "What do you mean familiar? They're all from the same middle school as us. Some of them are even popular. But well, I get it. You're wondering how close I am to them, right? With Akane saying that she didn't mind the girls I was involved with before, you were already suspecting them to be the same girls."

"y-yeah. You nailed it, Onoda-kun. So, which is it?"

"I'm also curious. You can't be multi-timing, right? You're not going to be that shameless..."

"I'm shameless but all I can say is... I care about all of them. It's up to you how you interpret that though. What do you think, Fuyu?"

I turned to the girl in my arms who probably already come to terms that they might just really be the same as her. She looked at me with a complicated expression before saying...

"... I'm jealous. You have to love us more than them, Ruki-kun."

"Mhm. Didn't I already tell you how much I love you? No one else can exceed that."

Although she looked unconvinced, Fuyu converted her brooding negative feelings into action.

Since she was already on my lap, the girl twisted her body to wrap her arm around my head. With her bright red lips parted open, she's inviting me to kiss her.

Of course, Akane also moved and did the same.

Because of this, Eri and Futaba were suddenly faced with an awkward situation, witnessing

their two friends vying for my full attention.

I heard Futaba audibly sighing. I had no idea what that meant. Eri, on the other hand, didn't say anything. She just remained at her spot, watching over us.

And so, I properly responded to Akane and Fuyu right in front of them, giving them a kiss full

of my affection and passion.

Of course, this wouldn't get us out of the current topic but at the very least, this threw the

current mood off.

I did answer what I think of the girls anyway. It's already up to Eri or Futaba to continue in this line of questioning or veer away from it.
