Chapter 69 – The Childhood Friend Heroine Wants to Be Next to Me
Wednesday, October 2nd.
After the student council election, my life at school changed completely.
“Oh, Vice President Ibuse~!”
“…Could you stop that?”
“Why, it suits you, you know~?”
A girl from the next class called out to me that morning. She was the captain of the cheerleading club, a lively girl who was good friends with Noa.
“That’s not important! Here, take this!”
She handed me a notebook in a rush. In the name column, it said Mizukami Noa.
“Give this back to Noa for me! I just got called to the advisor’s office! Thanks!”
“O-okay…”
After entrusting Noa’s notebook to me, the girl ran off to the teacher’s office.
The way people looked at me has changed a lot since I decided to join the student council. The looks they gave me before were more like they were looking at a rare animal… This new attention makes me just as uncomfortable, and it’s going to take some time to get used to.
While enduring those looks, I returned to the classroom and headed to Noa’s seat to give her the notebook. Noa was talking with a classmate, but I figured there was no point in hesitating now. I mustered up the courage to interrupt the conversation.
“Mizukami. It’s from a girl from the class next door.”
“Oh, thanks, Reo-kun.”
“You’re welcome.”
Since I became vice president, Noa has been calling me by my first name. She said, “We’re going to be doing this for a year, so if I call you by your last name, it’ll feel distant, right?” But every time Noa calls my name, I feel like the gazes of the people around me get more intense. Even now, the classmates who were talking to Noa are squealing.
“Well then.”
“Wait, Reo-kun. Come to the student council office after school today. There’s a lot of work to do.”
“Sure.”
Shiori said there wasn’t much work to do, but… Well, I guess there’s handover and stuff to do.
Thinking about this, I sat down at my desk, racking my brains over how much harder school life has become, but grinning to myself, trying to get used to this fun busyness as quickly as possible.
And then, in the student council room after school that day.
“Good work, everyone. Let’s call it a day.”
“”””Good work.””””
We had a quick meeting to discuss the culture festival, which would be our first job as the new student council. With a shout from Noa, we called it a day. As the other members were leaving one after another, I was about to leave as well when Noa called me.
“Vice-President Reo, please stay. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”
“…Okay.”
Noa is very serious when she’s working, and her behavior reminds me of Shiori. However, when she’s with her friends, she gets excited like Akari, and when she talks about her hobbies, she talks with the same passion as Nanami. Maybe it’s the difference between her different faces. This may be the essence of Noa’s communication skills.
Then, the moment the other members hurriedly left the student council room, Noa, who had been sitting upright the whole time, relaxed her whole body and collapsed onto the desk.
“I’m so tired~”
“Good work.”
“Shiori-senpai is really amazing… I have a hard time just keeping my posture upright… Oh, Reo-kun, do you want some too?”
“No.”
Noa took out a chocolate bar from her bag and started munching on it.
Noa often eats something like this when it’s just me and her. She says it’s because she feels relaxed next to me. I don’t really understand what she means, but it’s the kind of thing that could easily be misunderstood.
As she worked through her first and second chocolate bars and was starting on the third, I finally spoke up.
“…What did you want to talk about?”
“Huh… Did you have plans after school? I don’t remember you having a shift today.”
“I don’t have plans, but…”
As Noa said, I didn’t have a part-time job, and I had no plans to hang out with anyone else. Everyone had their own things to do, so I was just planning to relax at home for the first time in a while.
“We’ve both been pretty busy lately, haven’t we? I just had so much I wanted to talk about, but I wasn’t sure where to start…”
As she said this, Noa finished eating the third bar, put the trash in her bag, and finally began to talk.
“…Well, first of all, thank you for listening to my whims.”
“Don’t worry about it. I thought it would be fun too, that’s why I decided to go through with it. And besides, if I don’t earn some points in places like this, I doubt I’ll be able to graduate.”
“That’s true. Reo-kun, your attendance numbers seem pretty bad. Are you sure you’re okay?”
“…I’m cutting it pretty close, apparently.”
“Ah, I thought so.”
After that, we just kept talking about trivial things. We chatted leisurely about our studies, our friendships, and so on. In the midst of all this, I decided to ask Noa directly about something that had been bothering me.
“Mizukami is——”
“It’s Noa.”
“…Mizukami——”
“Noa.”
“……Noa, why did you want to become student council president?”
I called her by her first name, following Noa’s example. If she’s okay with it, then I guess I don’t have a problem either, but…it still makes me feel a little restless.
Noa smiled, looking somewhat pleased, and answered my question.
“The reason is, I wanted to try something myself. …Remember what happened with Kaede? It made me think about a lot of things. When I thought about what I should do to move forward, I thought I wanted to become someone like Shiori-senpai.”
“…I see. That’s cool.”
I’ve always thought that Noa seems like a strong woman. She also has the talent and charm to attract people. She’ll make a good student council president, different from the perfect Shiori.
“…Anyway, do you know how people see my relationship with Reo-kun?”
“Huh? Well, we’re the Student Council President and Vice-President, right?”
She asked me a sudden question I didn’t understand, and I answered as if it was a matter of fact. Noa shook her head and said, “That’s part of it, but…”
“Actually… People think we’re dating.”
“…What a joke.”
“No, it’s true. I heard a classmate talking about it the other day.”
“I’m sorry. People started spreading weird rumors about us.”
It must be because we were together during the election. Plus, it was already known I was three-timing at that time. Now I’m even four-timing. No wonder rumors like that would spread. If I don’t deny it, it’ll get complicated one day.
As I was thinking that, Noa looked down in embarrassment and muttered to herself.
“Well, I…don’t really mind.”
“Of course it’s a problem. Those kinds of rumors tend to spiral out of control. If you don’t deny them quickly, it’ll get complicated.”
“…Why don’t we just make it a fact?”
…Huh?
“No, wait…”
My mind couldn’t keep up with Noa’s surprise attack, and all I could do was deny it. Noa looked intently at my shaken up face and continued speaking.
“…Hey, Reo-kun. Won’t you cheat with me?”

T/N: Noa is making her move…
