Chapter 46 – Himeka’s Impatience
Moriyama-kun has finally become an official member of the student council.
And the vice-president at that too.
I’m delighted, but now Moriyama-kun’s talent and personality will be made public.
To be honest, it’s complicated.
In fact, even when Pres was trying to persuade Moriyama-kun, I wanted him to take the job, but when I thought about what would happen after he became vice-president, I couldn’t be happy about it.
It’s a good thing for Moriyama-kun, of course.
He has been recognised for his great achievements beyond his position as a helper, and as the Pres said, no one in the school will make fun of him or treat him lightly any more.
And for Moriyama-kun, who had low self-esteem, the recognition may help boost his confidence.
But he himself said, ‘This is how I’m going to be tamed as a corporate slave… The Black Student Council is scary!’
Anyway, I can’t let my selfishness get in the way of Moriyama-kun’s bright school life.
The problem is mine.
Even in the student council I was agonizing with jealousy, but now that this has become the whole school, there must surely be other girls who have noticed Moriyama-kun’s good qualities and are approaching him…
I had the advantage of being able to monopolize Moriyama-kun on my own up until now, and that’s why we have the relationship we have now, but if more girls like me come along who like Moriyama-kun, I might end up being ignored.
This is bad.
This is very bad.
“What’s wrong, Urushibara-san? Your chopsticks have stopped, is there something wrong? C-Could it be you’ve caught a cold!? Do you have a sore throat!? What about chills!? Are you coughing!? Have you been outside for a long time again, doing mental unification? This is no time to be eating lunch here! Let’s go to the infirmary!”
“N-No, I’m fine! I don’t have a cold!”
“I-I see… But if you don’t feel well, take it easy. After all, you are a saint of this world, and your body is very important.”
“Thank you for your concern. But really, I’m fine. I was just thinking.”
“I see. By the way, did Urushibara-san make today’s mini hamburgers? I had Mama-san’s mini hamburgers before, but these are even better than hers. The surface is cooked to perfection and the inside is juicy. It’s amazing that you didn’t cut any corners even with the miniature size. This is excellent.”
“Ufufu, thank you . It makes me happy when you say it tastes better than Mama’s.”
“Yes, it’s not flattering, it’s really delicious. If Urushibara-san starts a Western restaurant, I’m sure all the restaurants in this town will go out of business.”
“You’re exaggerating again. Ufufu.”
“But is this really okay? You make me lunch every day. It’s hard work every morning, isn’t it? You don’t have to overdo it, okay?”
“It’s okay! It’s what I like to do. Besides, it’s fun to eat together every day like this, with just the two of us in the student council room.”
Nowadays, the time we spend eating lunch together in the student council room during lunch break is a precious time that we can spend together without holding back…
It’s not a problem to make lunch every morning if it’s for this time.
“By the way, the final exams are coming up soon, do you want to have another study session this time?”
“Yes. Let’s do it again. I’m looking forward to the weekend.”
“You must really love studying, Urushibara-san.”
“N-Not that!! It’s fun because I’m with Moriyama-kun!”
“Really? I’m just studying, I’m not doing anything special.”
“Huu~…”
You’re so insensitive! Mou~!
Ah, but a study session…
Maybe this is an opportunity.
I’ll talk to Haruko-chan later!
This is an advantage of being Moriyama-kun’s only friend.
This is the only weapon I have, and I think it is also an encumbrance.
We are one and the same, but our love has not progressed at all.
A woman’s love is a battle.
I must be more determined than ever to win this battle.
