I’m lying on the beach, lonely and waiting.

There is no sign of Lida at all. I wonder what she’s taking her time with. …… I’m just a little worried.

As soon as I raise myself up to go look around, I get a light tap on the shoulder. …… Oh, Lida’s finally back. I turned around and saw a dark-haired girl wearing a white hoodie standing there, even though it was summer.

“……. Perhaps it’s the student council president, Hiyasada-senpai?

“Yes, that’s right. It’s Hiyasada herself. Please be sure to remember that.”

Her jet-black hair was in full motion, and her strawberry-red eyes were fixed on me.

“It’s odd that the president is here, isn’t it? Did you come to the beach?”

“No, I was flying a drone in the square. I have permission to do so. As you can see.”

I also had the proper flight permit.

I think …….

“A drone?”

–that flying drone, right? Like radio-controlled ones. I didn’t know the president had such a hobby. This is too unexpected.

Since she’s so beautiful, I’d expect her to have a boyfriend.

“Yes, it’s a DIJ aerial drone. It’s a 100,000-class drone.”

“A 100,000-class drone? What do you do with it?”

“It’s for aerial photography of the entire island here on Bentenjima. It’s my current hobby, or rather, my way of passing the time. –You know, there’s “YouTube” now, right? I upload my videos there and make money from the ads.”

That doesn’t sound like a girl’s hobby.

But it sounds like fun. I got interested in aerial photography a few years ago, but buying a full-fledged drone is a matter of 50,000 or 100,000 yen. It’s even more expensive when you consider the risk of crashing. …… But there is something even more disturbing.

“I understand that. By the way, isn’t it too hot for that hoodie?”

“This is an air-conditioned hoodie, you see.”

The President turned her back to me.

There are two fans attached to each side of her waist. I see, that’s how they circulate the air inside. That’s why it’s not too hot. I can’t believe they sell hoodies like that, I want one.

“”You seem to like gadgets, don’t you? Me too.”

“I don’t have any hobbies, so I buy a lot of things. …… Oh, so you like gadgets too Kamishiro-kun? We seem to have the same taste.”

The president looked somewhat happy.

Come to think of it, this may be the first time we have talked for a long time like this. The president has a calm tone, so I thought she would be quiet, but she wasn’t. My impression has changed a little.

“What does the president usually do? Do you study?”

“Stocks and virtual currencies. That’s all I do.”

“Is it profitable to do that?”

“It may sound like I’m bragging when I say it like this, but I’ve already reached the point where I don’t have to work for the rest of my life. Thanks to this, I’ve been doing less and less …… lately, so I’m looking for a new hobby.”

“Seriously……! Isn’t that just too much, president? I’d love to be your boyfriend. I’m just kidding, by the way.”

“Kamishiro-kun is fine.”

“You wouldn’t mind?”

“Well, I don’t have any other hobbies. I’d like to be in love.”

“…………”

She’s staring at me.

She’s got a pretty serious look in her eyes.

“Please think about it. I’d rather shoot a kissing scene with aerial photography. If you’re willing to do that, you can kiss me …….”

“…Huh.”

What!?
