In no time at all, the fourth period arrived. Hatsune said something about how she was going to do it, but what could she do to keep the boys away from me….

“For the fourth period, line up in the gym, we haven’t measured your height yet, so come in the appropriate clothes.”

Nanami-sensei shouted in front of the teacher’s table. By the way, Nanami-sensei is a math teacher. Well, it would be very rude to ask her how she looks like this, so let’s not think about it.

By the way, Hatsune left the class with the teacher’s permission because she had something to do during the next period. If she had to go outside with the teacher’s permission, it would be something related to the student council, right….? Well, there was no point in continuing to think about something I didn’t understand. For now, let’s head for the gym.

-Gymnasium-

The gym is buzzing with activity. That’s not surprising. There was no such thing as a talk in the gym in today’s class schedule. What is going on here? I think it’s something to do with the student council, given the timing of Hatsune’s disappearance, but….

“We will now begin an emergency student council presentation…”

Oh, he’s the president of this school? I hadn’t seen him before, but what can I say, he seems to be a shy person, which doesn’t fit her face.

“W, well, then, th, the Vice President Shirayuki-san…”

V, vice president… Hatsune, huh. I mean, isn’t your voice trembling, student council president? I wonder if something’s wrong….

“Yes.”

And then a voice that seemed to be Hatsune’s voice echoed throughout the gym. In the first place, what are you going to report?

“I’m here to report on the addition of school rules.”

An addition to the school rules? With Hatsune, it’s not going to be a rule, it’s going to be an additional restraint…

“What’s that?”

“I didn’t hear about it….”

Apparently, the teachers hadn’t heard about it either.

“And as for the new school rule, boys are not allowed to talk to me except for business matters, not including So-kun, will get expelled.”

…Ha? Forbid? What do you mean by that?

“Wh, what! That school rule is for personal gain! I can’t accept such a thing—–”

“Oh, you’re in charge of Japanese History, but you can’t understand Japanese? I said ‘report’, this is a decision made by the student council.”

“Ugh….”

Y, you’re lying, Sensei…. I was hoping you would have said something there.

“So, from now on, boys, please do not talk to me, thank you.”

As soon as Hatsune said that, there was an immediate outcry of condemnation.

“What do you mean by that!”

“I mean, this So-kun guy is getting special treatment, what a joke——-”

“It’s only natural that So-kun is special. What are you talking about?”

Oi, oi, I won’t be able to make any more friends if you say something like that…. Are you perhaps aiming for that? Is that what you are trying to do? You’re trying to make a school rule that says you can’t talk to anyone but myself in order to keep me away from other people…No, you’re not that calculating…Haha.

“!!”

They all froze, startled by Hatsune’s low voice. Well, from my point of view, it’s not quite that low yet! I’d like to say that, but there’s no way I can.

“Anyway, since that’s the case, let’s see, Student Council President…”

Then Hatsune went back to the seat where the student council members were originally sitting, in the same place as the student council president.

“W, well then… Th, this is the end of the 4th period, thank you for your time.”

Then we all went back to our respective classrooms. …What’s going to happen to my school life now?
