Although She's a Beautiful Student Council President Who Maintains Her Coolness Towards Everyone, She Wants to Act Spoiled and Lovesick Around Him, Who is Misunderstood by Everyone as a Delinquent - Chapter 43: Alone In Student Council Room

Time passed, and lunch break began.

Riku, who had bought bread at the school store, was secretly operating his smartphone while heading to the student council room, following the message he had received in the morning.

[Almost at the student council room, should I knock?]

[No need, just come in. But please make sure no one else sees you.]

A few seconds after Riku sent the message, it was marked as read and a reply came immediately. She probably had her notification settings turned on.

With that, Riku replied “Understood” to her message and put his smartphone in his pocket as he climbed the stairs. The student council room was located on the third floor of the building where the school store was.

Reaching the third floor by skipping steps, Riku walked down the long corridor until he saw the sign that read “Student Council Room.”

Checking to make sure no one was watching, Riku quickly entered the room.

==========

“Excuse me…”

“Riku-kun, it’s been a day. I’m sorry for sending you a message out of the blue this morning.”

“No, it’s fine. I wanted to talk to you about something too.”

Riku found himself in the student council room for the second time, and the only person in the room was Shizuku. It was a perfect place to talk about what happened this morning.

“Come on, let’s sit down and talk.”

“O-Okay… Got it.”

“Could you lock the door, please? We can’t have anyone seeing us here.”

“Right.”

*Click*

Riku locked the door to the student council room and slowly walked over to the sofa where Shizuku was sitting and sat down next to her. He placed the bread he had bought at the school store on the student council room’s desk.

“Fufuf, you’re sitting next to me… I thought you would sit across from me.”

“I wanted to sit next to you. We don’t get many chances to sit together like this.”

“You’re quoting what I said before… But if that’s the case, I think we should get even closer…”

Shizuku whispered this while drawing a circle on the sofa with her index finger. The distance between Riku and Shizuku was about one and a half people apart. It was definitely not the distance between a boyfriend and girlfriend.

“U-Um… Can we do that after we’ve talked about our issues? Otherwise, I won’t be able to concentrate on the conversation…”

“If we do that, we won’t have time to be close to each other… If you try hard to concentrate, it’ll be fine.”

“That’s selfish…”

“B-But… Riku-kun, you are the only one I can be selfish with and depend on…”

Shizuku’s eyes glistened and it was hard to say no to her. Her expression was one that she showed only to him.

“If you’re not happy, I’ll bear with it…”

And then she showed a sullen expression.

“No, that question is unfair… You know how I feel and still say that.”

“I-I feel the same way as you, Riku-kun. So…”

“…Alright.”

Riku got up from the sofa and closed the distance between them, pushed by Shizuku’s persistence. When he sat down again, they were close enough that their shoulders touched.

“Shizuku… There’s something I need to say first.”

“…It’s about yesterday, the kabedon, right?”

“Yeah…”

Before Riku could bring up the main topic, Shizuku guessed what it was and smiled as if to say, “It’s alright.”

“I’m really sorry. I couldn’t think of anything at that moment…”

“What are you talking about? You don’t need to apologize or worry about anything. It was only a matter of time before everyone found out about our relationship anyway.”

“Well, even so… don’t you have any concerns?”

The fact that their relationship had been exposed just a day after they started dating was something neither Riku nor Shizuku had anticipated. However, she didn’t seem the least bit unsettled.

The issue she was focusing on was what lay ahead… It was bound to be even more troublesome than the current situation.

“No, not really… But Riku-kun, you want to atone for that mistake, right?”

“Y-yeah, that’s right. It’s undeniable that it’s all due to my carelessness, and even if you say it’s fine, I can’t feel at ease.”

“Then, how about I ask you for one favor?”

Seemingly having thought of a good idea in response to Riku’s reasoning, Shizuku slightly raised her cherry-colored lips and pointed at a certain spot.

“Come here, Riku-kun…”

“Eh?”

Riku saw it. Shizuku had pointed to her own thigh.

“Yes, I’m going to let you use my lap as a pillow… Of course, you must not face me when I’m doing it, okay? I’d be embarrassed if you saw my underwear…”

“Uhm… I don’t know how to put it, but I think that has nothing to do with atonement, as it’s more like a reward for me…”

“No, this is just something I want to do… After I let you use my lap as a pillow, you can atone. In other words, you can’t atone unless you accept my lap pillow.”

“Wh-what is that?”

Shizuku created a favorable situation and skillfully steered the conversation. Her eloquence and quick thinking were unparalleled. He stood no chance.

“We have limited time. Come on… hurry up.”

“Eh, wait…”

“Hurry up!”

“O-oww!?”

By the time Riku let out a surprised shout, it was already too late. She had firmly pulled him to her side, placing her hand on his left shoulder.

Even if he tried to resist, his posture was already off-balance… There was no way to overturn the situation.

He ended up lying sideways, his line of sight landing on that… place of Shizuku’s.

“…!”

The sensation of the fabric of the black tights Shizuku was wearing assaulted Riku, followed by the softness of her whip-like thighs.

“You can’t look this way, okay?”

“…”

Shizuku gave a warning, but the sudden situation left him unable to even speak.

His body stiffened naturally… as the soft sensation of her thighs began to creep in. A bit of warmth emanated from the black tights, transmitting Shizuku’s body heat.

“Riku-kun, you can’t complain… After all, this is what you did to me… In this place, so forcefully…”

As she said those words, Shizuku’s slender white hand was placed on Riku’s head, awkwardly stroking it.

“…”

“…”

Neither of them could bring up a topic in this situation. Riku’s face turned bright red, as did Shizuku’s. They were both preoccupied with themselves.

“…Riku-kun, you know…”

“…?”

“I really love you… I’m so glad I became your girlfriend.”

As she continued stroking his head, Shizuku spoke in a gentle voice.

“When I’m in front of you, Riku-kun, I can’t help but be selfish and spoiled… So, if I’m ever bothering you or crossing the line, please tell me… I don’t want to be hated by you.”

“Don’t worry about it… I… I like that side of you, Shizuku.”

“Mou~~… You make it hard for me to hold back when you say things like that…”

The moment Shizuku finished speaking in a slightly hoarse voice, her long silver hair brushed Riku’s cheek, and he could hear her sweet breath.

It was evidence that Shizuku was bringing her face closer…

“Let’s… fulfill yesterday’s promise…”

“Y-yeah…”

Riku changed his position to lie on his back on Shizuku’s lap, waiting quietly for the moment to come.

And then—Shizuku slowly closed the distance between them… just as their lips were about to touch.

*Knock knock*

The sound of knocking echoed a few times…

“Shizuku, I want to talk to you about the student council activities schedule.”

There was no mistaking it. It was the voice of the student council advisor, Yanagida-sensei.
