Episode 202: Lost Koneko-chan

Shopping with Amane on Saturday? Since I was going to go out with Nanami, the next day I bought all the things Nanami needed and made preparations before returning to the dormitory.

Our school life begins again.

"Good morning."

"Yeah, good morning."

I wake up in the morning, eat breakfast with Aki, get ready to go outside, and just like I used to, go to school.

"Ara, what a coincidence, Satou-kun, Sakura-kun."

Surprisingly, the Student Council President, whom I didn't meet during the high alert situation, ambushes me for the first time in a long time.

Before the state of high alert, it was eerie and I was scared, but now that I've been ambushed for the first time in a long time and encounter the Student Council President, I feel it's back to normal and I'm happy.

"Yes, that's right, Student Council President. Good morning!!"

"Eh, ah, yes. Good morning. You're in high spirits today."

"Yeah, I'm happy to meet the Student Council President for the first time in a while, today."

"E, eh, i, is that so? I, I'm happy too?"

When the tension rises and I say hello, the Student Council President loses her usual fearless momentum and gets a little flustered. When I honestly told her what I was thinking, the Student Council President lowered her head, her face blushed, and she muttered quietly.

The Student Council President looks happy.

The Student Council President must have been looking forward to meeting us in an ambush for the first time in a while, just like me.

"Good morning, Student Council President! It's been a long time since I've seen your beautiful face. It's a great honor."

Between me and the Student Council President, repeatedly turning like a ballet dancer, Aki cuts in, kisses her hand, and greets her.

"Oh, Sakura-kun. You're as lively as ever, and I'm glad to see you too."

The Student Council President, who seems to have come to her senses after Aki interrupted, quickly clears up her expression that has been showing her emotions until just now and replies.

A normal girl wouldn't like it if he kissed her hand, but seeing as the Student Council President doesn't say anything, she might be used to it.

"Anyway, is it correct to say that the Student Council President is also on her way to school?"

"Yes, that's right. Shall we go together?"

"Of course, that's fine with me!!"

I knew it, but when I check just in case, it's just like I expected, so I accept with absurd enthusiasm.

After all, if I don't do this, I don't feel like the usual day has started.

I don't feel like the day has started unless I meet the Student Council President, I'm instilled with the feeling of such, and if that's the purpose of the Student Council President, then certainly, her purpose has been achieved, I can't help but think I'm happy.

It doesn't matter.

"To, today, you're quite enthusiastic, really ... I'm grateful ..."

"Yeah, I kind of feel like that."

The Student Council President was flustered by me being overly enthusiastic.

I'm really happy, so I"m just overflowing with that feeling, maybe the Student Council President is fine when she does it herself, but she's the type who is weak if you come at her aggressively.

Let's verify this next time.

If I understand that, I won't be afraid of the Student Council President anymore!!

"Good morning."

When I am interacting with the Student Council President, Shia, who looks listless and sleepy, walks over to greet me, and after that she takes my left arm and crosses it with hers for some reason.

"O, oh. What's wrong?"

"I wanted to try it."

"I, I see."

I don't understand what Shia is doing, and am agitated and try to ask her, but as usual, I can't figure out the intention behind her words due to her 'my pace' words, so I can't say anything.

Nanami didn't say anything, but I wonder if something happened on Saturday and Sunday.

It would be difficult for me to refuse Shia's request, so I leave her alone.

"Excuse me too ..."

"No. Touch prohibited."

Then, for some reason, the Student Council President tries to grab my right arm and is intercepted by Shia. After that, the offense and defense unfold several times, but in the end Shia guards against them all.

"Haa ... Haa ... Why do you always get in my way?"

"Girls are prohibited from touching."

"Aren't you a girl too?"

"I'm Nanamin official, so there's no problem, mufuu."

"Gunununununununuuu."

The Student Council President's hand is knocked down with an expressionless face, a picture of a frustrated Student Council President. This was also the usual scene before the high alert.

And that scene reminds me of my return to everyday life, so I can't help but grin.

"Haa ... I'll withdraw for today. Well then, it's about time, let's go to school."

"That's right."

We talk lightly as we head to school.

"Disappearance case?"

"Yes, recently there have been a lot of disappearance incidents in dungeons around the world. I think you guys will be fine, but please be careful not to let your guard down."

I listen to the Student Council President.

It seems that there have been some disturbing incidents recently.

There was also the simultaneous worldwide Stampede, and there is a possibility that something is happening in the dungeon.

It sounds like I should be more careful when diving into dungeons in the future.

"I understand. I'll be careful."

"I swear that I will definitely not overdo it!!"

Aki and I nod solemnly at the Student Council President's words.

We part ways with the Student Council President and reunite with everyone in the class after a long absence. However, when I enter the classroom, I am only given a quick glance, and no one greets me.

"Haa ~ ... I'm looking forward to seeing the exchange student."

"I suppose. I'd be lying if I said I didn't care."

"Hmm."

The three of us gather together and wait for the teacher while chatting. Our topic is about the exchange student who is coming from today on.

They should come in with the teacher.

"Eehh ~ , the exchange student who was supposed to come today ... got lost."

""Haa!?""

However, for some reason the teacher comes alone and says something, and our fun is dissipated.
