I Ended Up Pretending to Be the Boyfriend of a Beautiful but Tough Classmate for Just a Month, but It Seems That She Has Awakened Her Yandere Tendencies Because of That.

Chapter 59

“Hey, let’s go to the teacher’s office quickly.”

“Ah, yeah.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Ah, no… let’s go.”

After school, Takamiya came to call me, and we both left the classroom together.

Since the sudden appearance of the transfer student, I had been absent-minded the whole time.

If Takamiya hadn’t called me, I probably would have stayed in my seat, dazed, even after school.

In fact, it’s strange that I was able to stay sane without collapsing at that moment.

My forehead was all sticky with sweat.

It was such a shocking event.

Enjo Chou.

The person who might have been my first love.

My trauma.

After that, Enjo Chou didn’t look at me or speak to me.

But, that wasn’t a misheard phrase.

She said, “I finally got to meet you.”

She told me that.

I was more concerned about that statement than the fact that Enjo transferred here.

Why did she say that?

Why would she, who rejected me, say something like that…?

Also, from the way she spoke, it sounded like she knew I was at this school and transferred here because of that.

What is going on…?

“Hey, Suzukaze-kun.”

On the way to the staff room, Takamiya stopped and called me.

“Wh-what is it?”

“…You’ve been spaced out for a while. Hey, do you know that transfer student?”

“Huh?”

“I knew it. You kept glancing at her during class. Hey, do you find her cute? Is she your type? Hey.”

Takamiya’s eyes clouded.

Then she slowly stepped closer to me.

“Hey, wait a minute.”

“Huh…”

“Did you fall in love at first sight? You know, you say your feelings haven’t changed, but then you cheat.”

“No, that’s not it! It’s not like that, so put down that mechanical pencil!”

She glared at me, holding a mechanical pencil she had somehow pulled out, and I desperately defended myself.

“Really? You’re not lying?”

“I’m not lying. I like you, Takamiya.”

“…Liking… don’t say it so casually.”

“S-sorry.”

“…Well, it’s fine. But don’t talk to that girl, she annoys me.”

Instead of getting stabbed by the mechanical pencil, I was firmly warned, and the conversation ended.

However, I kept thinking about it as we walked toward the staff room.

Should I tell Takamiya that the transfer student she had her eyes on is the source of my trauma?

I haven’t lied because she hasn’t asked, but when she eventually finds out, she’ll surely be angry and ask why I kept it a secret.

But if I tell her, I feel like Takamiya might actually stab Enjo with that mechanical pencil.

Which option is the right one?

I didn’t find an answer, and we arrived at the staff room.

◇

“…So, starting tomorrow, you can freely use the student council room on the third floor. Also, for discussions about expenses, please contact Teacher Kadowaki. That’s all.”

The grade director gave a rough explanation about how the student council would operate from now on.

Then, Takamiya’s name was written in the president’s section, and my name was written in the vice president’s section.

The secretary section remained blank, and we left the staff room.

“That was such a vague explanation.”

“Well, it seems the previous student council messed up, so they’ve had a lot of their authority taken away. By the way, who are we going to pick for the secretary? We were told to decide by tomorrow.”

According to the explanation, the person chosen as the secretary would also handle accounting.

Since it was an important role in managing the budget, we were told to decide quickly.

But, asking us to do it by tomorrow felt unreasonable.

“Hmm, anyone in mind?”

“How about Mika?”

“Mika probably won’t do it. She stubbornly refuses to be in the spotlight.”

“Hmm.”

By the way, if no one was available, the teachers would choose someone.

“I’ll do it.”

While we were walking down the hallway, thinking about it, a cool voice came from behind us.

“Ah, you’re…”

“Hello, it’s Tokito Sanae.”

Tokito, who calmly adjusted her large round glasses, introduced herself, and immediately Takamiya approached her.

“Hey, don’t get too familiar with Suzukaze-kun. Also, you’re the one who supported Maria, right?”

“I’m honored you remember, Takamiya, Student Council President.”

“P-President? That title makes me feel itchy.”

“Yes, I supported Maria-san, but once the fight is over, we should all be the same schoolmates, right?”

Tokito spoke without raising a single eyebrow.

“Even so… you’re on Maria’s side, aren’t you?”

“I’m not on anyone’s side. Maria asked me to help, so I did it.”

“I can’t just take your words at face value. You’re trying to join the student council to help Maria, aren’t you? To get in our way.”

Takamiya glared at Tokito.

I thought the same thing, of course.

I couldn’t imagine that Jinguji would just quietly back down like this.

It seemed likely that they would send Tokito as a spy into the student council.

However,

“If I don’t join, Maria-san will end up joining the student council.”

With a calm face, Tokito said that.

“Huh? There’s no way we’ll let someone like her in.”

“But, can you find another candidate by tomorrow? It’s already after school.”

“Well… we’ll manage somehow. But why is Maria joining the student council?”

“Maria-san has a good reputation with the teachers. It seems she cried this morning and asked the teachers to recommend her if we couldn’t decide on a secretary.”

“Huh? Why would she do that?”

“Just as you said earlier. It seems she plans to get in your way from the inside.”

With a serious face, Tokito said that as if it were obvious.

“…Then, why are you trying to stop Maria?”

“I think it will benefit Maria-san as well, but well, I suppose it will seem like I’m getting in her way.”

“What’s your goal?”

Takamiya asked, panicked. Tokito then slightly narrowed her large eyes behind her glasses and said,

“I want to be called ‘Secretary Tokito.'”

“…Huh?”

“Doesn’t it sound cool? I’m willing to work even if I have to go through fire or water to earn that title.”

She said something that sounded like a joke, but it was clear that Tokito was serious.

“…Hey, Suzukaze-kun, what do we do?”
