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 64

“Good work, Student Council President, Vice President.”

Standing in front of the student council room was Tokito, who had arrived earlier.

“Oh, good work. Um…”

“I’m Secretary Tokito.”

“S-Secretary Tokito, you’re early.”

“Well, yes. It’s my job, after all.”

She adjusted her glasses with a quick motion, striking a somewhat cool pose before saying, “So, please hurry and unlock the door.”

Takamiya used the key entrusted to her by the teacher to open the door.

Upon entering, the room was about the same size as a classroom, but with a large conference table and bookshelves, it had a completely different atmosphere. I couldn’t help but voice my thoughts.

“Wow, this feels really official.”

“Yeah. So, where do we sit?”

“The President and Vice President should sit together at that two-person desk. I’ll be working over at that separate seat.”

For some reason, Tokito started taking charge. Looking at the designated seats, I saw a two-person sofa and a spacious desk.

“…Was this always here?”

“No, I borrowed the master key from the teacher yesterday and brought it in myself.”

“Huh? You did? But why go through all that trouble?”

“To recharge my ‘preciousness’ levels.”

“Preci… what?”

“Never mind that. Now, you two, please sit down and get to work immediately.”

She adjusted her glasses again.

Tokito took a seat opposite ours.

Feeling slightly awkward, I sat down, and Takamiya followed, sitting beside me.

“Hehe, this feels like a date,” she said.

Completely oblivious to how I felt, she seemed genuinely happy.

Seeing that, Tokito muttered, “Yep, this is motivating,” before quietly beginning to organize documents.

“Tokito is kind of a strange person, isn’t she?”

“Yeah. But she seems capable, so maybe she was actually a good choice.”

Even while we chatted, Tokito never stopped working, efficiently moving through her tasks.

I felt bad just letting her do all the work, so I asked if there was anything I could help with. But she simply replied, “Not today, so please just relax together.”

Feeling a bit awkward again, we sat back on the sofa.

“Fuu…”

“Your complexion still doesn’t look great. Do you want to head home early?”

“No, I’m fine. But… what did Enjou mean by what she said?”

That girl, who once rejected me and left me traumatized.

Suddenly appearing in front of me, only to now claim she had feelings for me all along.

I had no idea what was going on.

Just thinking about it darkened my mood.

“…Does it bother you?”

“Eh? Well, I mean, I just don’t get what she’s trying to do.”

“Don’t. Don’t think about it. Don’t waste your time on a girl like that.”

“…Yeah, you’re right.”

Despite Tokito being there, Takamiya clung to my arm, getting all touchy like before.

My heart pounded again.

But strangely, I felt at ease.

The heavy feeling in my chest lightened, and it became easier to breathe.

It was weird. Really weird.

“Hey, when we get home, I’ll make pasta for you. A little celebration for becoming Vice President.”

“Then it should be a celebration for you becoming President, too.”

“Let’s make it both. And we can grab some dessert at the convenience store on the way back.”

“O-Okay.”

I couldn’t shake the feeling that Takamiya started acting extra affectionate whenever the topic of Enjou came up.

Was she jealous?

…She’s adorable.

“Hehe, let’s head home in thirty minutes. That okay with you, Tokito?”

“Please address me as Secretary Tokito.”

“…Secretary Tokito, is that fine?”

“As you wish.”

Tokito’s page-turning seemed to speed up a little.

Thinking we should at least help clean up, we got up from our seats. But Tokito immediately stopped us.

“It’s distracting, so please sit back down.”

So, we sat on the sofa again and watched Tokito work.

◇

“Today was very productive. Well then, see you tomorrow. Thanks for the feast.”

As the time came, Tokito swiftly packed up and left the student council room before us.

“‘Thanks for the feast’…? She really is an odd one.”

“I bet she’d be really cute without her glasses. But at least she doesn’t seem like trouble.”

“Yeah. Let’s head home, too.”

We locked up together, returned the key to the staff room, and left the school.

It was later than usual, but the sports teams were still out on the field, practicing with enthusiasm.

“They’re working hard, even at this hour.”

“Yeah. We need to keep up, too.”

As we walked past the lively sports field toward the main gate, I noticed Enjou running silently in the distance.

Of course, I didn’t say anything about it.

Takamiya must have noticed too, because she muttered sadly,

“Am I not good enough for you, Suzukaze-kun?”

“…Don’t let Enjou’s words get to you.”

“But… she acts like she’s some kind of ex-girlfriend. Hey, are you sure nothing happened between you two?”

“Nothing. If anything, I’m actually grateful she was cold to me back then.”

“Why?”

“Because, well… thanks to that, I got to meet you.”
