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

“Let’s see. ……. Eggs, milk, …… sugar and.”

Riku was at the supermarket after returning home from school to buy some groceries. He still can’t thank his relatives enough for warmly accepting him. It was only natural for him to help out.

“What’s left….Bread”

Looking at the paper with the items to be purchased written on it, He crossed out the items he purchased one by one. The last item remaining was bread.

Without hesitation, he quickly moved to the corner where the bread was lined up…Riku stiffened.

“Wh-what is that…”

There she was, a lone female student exuding an aura of despair. Her uniform was that of the school Riku attends, with a sky-blue badge on her breast pocket indicating middle school.

Cream-colored hair in twin-tails. Round eyes the color of rape blossoms. The aura that radiated from her petite stature was remarkable.

(T/N: Not a mistranslation they actually exist)

The girl was staring at the place where the “Whipped Cream Melon Bread” label was attached. Ahead of that label, there’s a hole in the display of whipped cream melon bread…. In other words, it’s sold out.

Having this much evidence to judge, it was easy to understand why she was giving off such a negative aura.

That product was the bread featured in the commercial. It was the bread that was exploding in popularity. It was inevitable that it was sold out.

“I-I was looking forward to it. ….”

Riku chooses his bread while trying to keep the girl out of his sight as much as possible… but he heard a voice filled with sadness.

“I worked hard on my studies and came here to buy a reward. ….”

Since she was wearing a uniform, she must have stopped by the supermarket directly after school. ……

“U-um,….”

“Fuun……”

Riku, who could not look at the girl any longer, spoke to her, while paying attention to his tone.

“Did you check with the clerk to see if it’s in stock?”

“U-Uh, E-err……”

When talking to someone for the first time, there’s always a sense of caution that arises. If you don’t navigate that carefully and try to alleviate their guard, you won’t be able to have a proper conversation and exchange of words.

“Can you just tell me if you asked the clerk if they have any in stock? That melon bread is a popular item, so they might be receiving more deliveries.”

“I-I didn’t ask…”

“I understand. I also wanted that bread, so I’ll ask the clerk.”

“Oh, …….”

Riku, who told a small lie so as not to put the other party off, put the shopping basket in his hand on the spot, ignored the girl’s voice, and went to find the clerk.

(Fuu~. She doesn’t seem to know about the rumors about me being a delinquent. …. Or maybe she hasn’t recognized me in casual clothes… Either way, it’s convenient for me.)

If she doesn’t know about the rumors of me being a delinquent or hasn’t recognized me, then it’ll be easier for me to carry on with the conversation. Riku breathes out a sigh as he continues walking, and soon spots a store clerk.

“I’m sorry to bother you while you’re busy. There’s one thing I want to ask…”

“What is it?”

“Do you still have the Whipped Cream Melon bread in stock…? It’s not on the sales floor. ……”

“I think we have some. …… Sorry, I’ll go check.

“Thank you. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

Bowing to the clerk who ran to the back to check inventory, Riku returned to the bread section. There was the girl who turned her slightly expectant eyes on him.

“About the stock, they said they might have it. they’re checking right now.”

“Th-thank you so much for going out of your way… It should have been Mimi’s job…”

“It’s fine, I wanted to buy this bread too, don’t worry about it. I hope it’s in stock. ….”

So after a few minutes of waiting, the clerk to whom he asked about the stock came running towards them.

In his hand hung a shopping basket, and in it was that loaf of bread.

“We have it in stock! We are so sorry that we have not been able to confirm that we were sold out. ……”

“No, no, thank you very much.”

Riku couldn’t help but smile when he saw Mimi, a young girl who gazed at the clerk arranging the stock of Whipped Cream Melon Bread on the sales floor with eyes that shone like jewels.

She must have really wanted to eat this bread. ……

“I’m really sorry ……. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”

The clerk finished the arranging, apologized, and left.

“Good thing they have it in stock. …… then I’ll take this one.”

“W-Wait! Please wait!

Mimi stopped Riku as he placed the whipped cream melon bread in his basket and the normal bread he had originally planned to buy, and headed for the checkout counter.

“Hmm?”

“T-that bread… Please let me buy it for you as a thank you!”

“No, no. I wanted it too, so don’t worry about thanking me. Since they have it in stock, you might as well buy another one with the money you’ll use to buy it for me.”

“T-That’s right. …….”

Riku looked at Mimi, who had been exuding an aura of despair due to the lack of whipped cream melon bread. He had the desire to see her eat to her heart’s content. However, there was also a prideful aspect of him that made it difficult to accept being treated by someone younger than him.

“At the very least, I’d be happier if you chose that bread instead of treating me.”

“Ugh. ……. I understand. ……”

“Hahaha. See you later.”

“T-thank you so much ……!”

“It’s no problem.”

And so, waving to …… Mimi, Riku headed to the cash register with his shopping basket.

That night, that girl – Mimi – was calling one of her friends.

“Hey hey, Rinka-chan, listen, listen!”

“Out of the blue again, …… Mimi-chan. What’s wrong?”

“Today! I was helped by an amazing Nii-san! They were out of Whipped Cream Melon bread, so ……!”

There was no way she could contain her excitement, and she told Rinka one after another about what had happened today. Mimi really wanted to share her current feelings.

“Isn’t that just because Mimi-chan is cute and he was trying to hit on you ……?”

“No, that’s not true! That person went to the cash register as soon as he finished his business… Mimi even stopped him…”

“What’s his name….?”

“I thought I’d seen his face at the school, but I don’t know. …… If he was wearing a uniform, I would know.”

“Does that mean he’s from our school?”

“Unless Mimi is mistaken, I think so.”

…Yes, in reality, these two weren’t meeting for the first time. As students who attend the same school, they’ve passed by each other before.

“You didn’t ask for his name, ……?”

“U-urgh ……. I forgot to ask …….”

“Arara, that’s a big deal…”

The clue they had now was that the person could be at the school. Still they didn’t get his name.

“T-this time, I couldn’t properly thank him.. B-but I promise I’ll make it up to him next time! Otherwise, Mimi won’t be satisfied!!”
