The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 133

Hmm.

Even after leaving the student council room, I can’t help but keep thinking about what happened earlier. Even though it couldn’t be helped, the anxiety still lingers…

“Please go about your usual activities, Taketo-sama. If anything happens, I will protect you with all my might.”

Maybe my thoughts were slipping out, but those warm words from Mil-san really saved me. I’m truly grateful…

“Mil-san, thank you as always.”

Mil-san is right. I’ve finally gotten used to my current school life. I’ll just go about my days as usual.

Ah, but maybe the school, taking the situation seriously, won’t let me attend…

Hmm, right, how about getting permission from the school to set up a relaxation area just around me? That way, it would be less likely for problems to arise…

Ah, if only there were more men attending this school, I think things would be a bit different.

As I mentioned before, this school has 15 first-year students, 17 second-year students, and 16 third-year students, totaling 48 male students.

Since the third-year students have little time left, I think I should give up on them, but if the first and second-year seniors (a total of 32 people) come to school, it might get a little better.

After consulting with Niiyama-sensei for a bit… no, since everyone is waiting, let’s do this tomorrow. For now, I should head back to the classroom.

Hmm…

I wonder why, even though I’m just walking, I feel so many eyes on me.

No, I always feel their gaze, but it feels a bit different this time. Like it’s charged with heat… Am I just being overly self-conscious? Embarrassing.

There’s no point in worrying about it, so let’s quickly head back to the classroom.

“Taketo-kun, thank you.”

As soon as I returned to the classroom, everyone except the band members thanked me. They said, “Thank you for giving us a chance, too.” Some even shed tears, and I was completely at a loss for words…

For now, let’s wipe away the tears. I thought so and took out a handkerchief from my pocket, but this is a problem. There are too many people, so I can’t use it.

“Th-th-those parts of you, Taketo-kun, I-I-I really like them.”

Everyone was sniffing, and it didn’t seem like we could talk. Seeing this, Tsukune offered a new song on a music player and said that.

Even Tsukune’s red-faced as she won’t look me in the eye…

“They’re blushing because they’re thinking about their fiancé.”

Just when I was wondering why, Nana gave me a nice telepass, and I understood then. Today, not just Tsukune, but also Saori and Sachiko are awkward, fidgeting around, so Nana is my only relief, as she always gives me a thumbs up.

It seems that this new song was created by Sachiko. She researched Kaori’s company and made the song imagining the people who work there. It’s a song to support everyone who is working hard. Nanako told me about it, and I really want to listen to it. I want to hear it right away, but I guess we should wait for everyone’s response, who are smiling despite shedding tears right now.

“Um, w-well, you see…”

In a hurry, Tsukune took out her smartphone from her pocket and operated it, then thrust the screen out to show it.

“An announcement from the student council?”

Huh? Honestly, my first thought was, “No way, in such a short time.” Ichinomiya-senpai, aren’t you acting a bit too quickly?

In the short time it took for me to return to the classroom, the student council sent out a notification to all the students.

I didn’t notice because I was walking, but the same kind of notification came to my smartphone as well.

It seems that the student council will contact us with more details later, but for now, they are firmly warning us to refrain from acting on our own. As expected.

I’m always amazed by Ichinomiya-senpai’s quick actions, but the reason they moved so fast this time was probably to protect the safety of their fiancées, Saori and the others…

“Thank you, Ichinomiya-senpai.”

I was so impressed by Ichinomiya-senpai’s thoughtfulness and kindness that I ended up thanking them in a MAIN message, but they replied immediately.

“The kouhais keep relying on their senpais.”

What a reassuring message. The big ♡ stamp probably represents the size of their heart, such a playful person.

——Oh, everyone said thank you for the opportunity…

On the way to the office, we had lunch at a family restaurant, but it was quiet due to the earlier incident. Everyone was eating quietly and politely.

Since there are kids who are financially struggling, I quickly head to the office after covering the lunch expenses.

“This is…”

I was surprised when I went inside. The office looks like an office now.

Comments on the videos and offers for the Armed Girls are also compiled, and particularly important things are noted on the whiteboard where they can be easily seen.

The earliest request is to appear on a music program at the end of this month.

It says “not yet” for the reply, so it means they will discuss and decide from now on, but the deadline is by the end of this week, right? It’s easy to read, which is nice.

“Ah, that’s something we…”

As I was staring intently at the whiteboard, Himana-san and Kigaki-san raised their hands slightly.

It seems that if they had time to relax during the New Year, they would have preferred to work part-time, so Sachiko decided to join in as well. After that, whenever someone had some free time, they would drop by and gradually make progress on the tasks.

I had been uploading karaoke version videos, so I hadn’t checked all the comments, but I’ve sorted through quite a lot. It’s not just me, right? I haven’t shown my face even once. Just when I was a bit shocked, another shock hit me…

“A-actually, I was thinking of surprising Taketo-kun…”

Akinai-san apologetically said that, then glanced around at everyone’s faces before booting up the computer and showing me a certain screen.

“Oh.”

There was the screen of the Armed Girls’ homepage. It’s simple, but somehow cool. Due to time constraints, the content isn’t fully developed yet, but it properly links to the shopping site. Amazing, amazing, wait? I was the only one surprised.

It seems like they asked a vendor acquaintance of Akinai-san, but they’re already accepting pre-orders? They’ve got live photos of the Armed Girls, shocked, original T-shirts, original towels, original bottles, original sacoche bags, and even original tote bags, but I was the only one who didn’t know about it…

“I didn’t think it would go this well… um, I’m sorry.”

When things didn’t go well, everyone supported me because they didn’t want me to be shocked, but to be honest, I felt sad as if I was being left out. In reality, I was hardly involved with the Armed Girls channel, but still, I thought it would have been nice to hear at least a word of comfort, and that was my mistake.

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”

Soon, Nanako found out, and it escalated to the point where everyone was crying and apologizing. It was incredibly awkward.

There was even talk about giving me authority (a position) in the future, but I politely declined.

Because I think it doesn’t make sense for me to earn money when I, a man who doesn’t have to work because of the male allowance, never have to worry about food.

The original purpose was that I wanted everyone to be a little better off. That thought, too. Nanako figured it out right away, and everyone cried even more, which was tough, but since my thoughts could be somewhat understood just by looking at my face, Nanako managed to convince everyone. I thought Nanako was surprisingly amazing, too.
