Arc-1 Chapter-12: The Surprising Identity of the Shirogane Club President

"So how come...again? I believe Shirogane-San has a pretty harsh personality on the surface." (Naoya)

That's what she was so worried about herself.

Unless you are able to read the true intentions of people like Naoya, to a normal person she would simply look like a girl...with a harsh personality.

But they all looked at each other and told each other plainly.

"But, Shirogane-San, she's a good girl isn't she." 

"Yeah, yeah. I'm in the same class with her, and she's always changing the water in the vase." 

"The other day, my little brother in kindergarten got lost... Shirogane-San, who was passing by, helped me look for him." 

"Oh..." (Naoya)

They were all talking and praising Koyuki.

At the end, a girl who seemed to be in the same class as me smiled and closed the conversation.

"I know that she's often misunderstood, but everyone here knows that she's really a good girl." (Girl)

"...I see." (Naoya)

"We can't tell her directly because she'll freeze up if we do. So keep this between us, okay?"

The black hooded schoolgirl smiled mischievously as she held up her index finger at her mouth.

(Wow, some of these people understands her pretty well...)

They look like a completely pagan group.

It's scary that Koyuki hasn't even heard of them, despite the fact that they've been working so steadily to get promoted to a Official Club.

Anyways, it appears that Koyuki has allies all over the place. Naoya was a little relieved to know that.

"But I'm in the same class as her, and I want to get to know her a little bette-- Hey, Sasahara-kun, do you any advice? I'm not sure what to say to her..." (Girl)

"Well then, since she likes cats, why don't you ask her about her cat...?" (Naoya)

"Oh, that sounds great!" (Girl)

The girl in the black hood was excited. And--

Just then, the bell rang and the vice president clapped his hands.

"All right, then, let's break up. Sasahara-kun, please come here regularly and drop us some moe stories." (VP)

"Well, that's fine, but, please don't kidnap me anymore..." (Naoya)

"That will depends on my mood." (VP)

The President got up from her chair and was about to leave the audio-visual room.

Naoya then called out to her in a hurry.

"Oh, Wait a minute, President-San" (Naoya)

"What is it?" (President)

"Well, That's..." (Naoya)

Naoya was a little stunned.

I didn't know what to say in this kind of situation, since I don't have much experience.

So I... bowed my head honestly.

"I'm going to take good care of your sister. So please don't worry." (Naoya)

"....." (Imouto-Chan~)

The President was staring at me silently. Eventually, she took off her hood.

What appeared from underneath was a girl with a face similar to Koyuki. Her silver hair was cropped around her shoulders, and she wore thin-framed glasses. A cold gaze peeked out from behind the lenses, and there was no expression on her face.

Her voice contains very little emotion. However, if you exchange words with her repeatedly, you will see something. It's the respect and fondness she has for Koyuki and the affection she has for her..family. And it seems that my reading was correct.

"Year one, class three, Sakuya Shirogane." (Sakuya)

The president of the Shirogane Club, Koyuki's sister, nonchalantly introduced herself and held out her right hand to Naoya.

"Nice to meet you, Big Brother-in-Law." (Sakuya)

"Wait, aren't you a little quick with the implications?" (Naoya)

"The sooner the better. So I think a western wedding is better. The food should be delicious, I also want to see my sister's dress, and more importantly, it will be a good reference for my paintings." (Sakuya)

"Yes. I'd like to discuss that with Shirogane-San at some point." (Naoya)

Naoya squeezed Sakuya's hand for a moment.

In the background, the members of the Shirogane Club were exchanging sincere words.

"Weddings......are nice, we as a Shirogane Club would like to host this event..."

"But I don't want to be there..."

"I know, I can't stand it when... outsiders recognizes our existence..."

"It's scary..."

Even though it was harmless, I was a little afraid of the seriousness in it.

After school that day.

As I waited in front of the school gate, Koyuki came in with a joyful look on her face.

"Hey, hey, listen to me, Sasahara-kun!　Today, a girl in my class talked to me!" (小雪)

"Really?" (Naoya)

"She said she has a cat too. I showed her a picture of Sunagimo, and she complimented me on how cute he was. I decided to be... honest and this is what I got! I'm sure I can make as many friends as I want like this..! That's me, the flawless beauty!" (小雪)

"I'm so happy for you, Shirogane-San. By the way, I have a question for you." (Naoya)

"What is it?" (小雪)

"Which do you like better, Japanese or Western?" (Noaya)

"Are you talking about.....rice?" (小雪)

Koyuki tilted her head in puzzlement.
