When I found out about the student council president's secret, she became my exclusive maid [Haitus] - Chapter 33 - Jealousy?
The scenery in front of the station when viewed from the window looked quite busy even though it is a weekday evening. Since it’s after school hours, there are many students in school uniforms or young people in casual clothes passing through the station.
The young people in casual clothes are probably either high school students whose school allows them to wear casual clothes or maybe they are college students. Of course, not everyone is wearing a uniform, and we can also see people wearing suits and housewives pushing strollers here and there.
Many people in uniforms boarded the buses in the bus rotary, while the taxis seemed to be idle due to the expensive fare. I could see taxi drivers getting out of their cars, leaning on the fence, and smoking e-cigarettes with their colleagues.
“Nnnhhh…”
From the seat next to me in the opposite direction of the window, I could hear a small dying sound.
We were currently sitting on a four-person table at Max Dream Burger in front of the station.Shogo, who was sitting next to me, was emitting smoke from his head and collapsed onto the table. Or rather, he might have overheated and passed out.
“Are you okay, Konoe-kun?”
Kohaku Shirakawa, who was sitting across from Shogo, asked with concern about him, who was still emitting imaginary smoke.
“I-I’m fine…”
He managed to respond somehow while rolling his eyes, but I don’t think the situation is okay.
“That’s happening because he always sleeps during class all the time.”
The student council president, Yuki Ohira, didn’t spare him even though Shogo was lying down with his eyes rolled up, and she said those words which I had already expected.
“Why do you think no one notices you curling up your big body and sleeping in the front?”
There was no choice left but to agree with Yuki’s words.
However, the next words which Yuki said with a gentle smile left me amazed.
“But, you’re surprisingly good at studying. You should be able to avoid getting a red mark with this.”
“Seriously!?”
With the approval of the top student in our grade who is also the student council president, Shogo surprisingly woke up from his stupor.
“All right! Akira! Let’s have a party at your place if I can avoid getting a red mark! Yeah another Party Night!”
“I don’t want to.”
“Why not! That’s great! Just like always, just the two of us.”
“Konoe-kun, Konoe-kun.”
Shirakawa-san beckons Shogo and whispers something in his ear. I could hear her say, “It’s a secret that Morikami-kun lives alone, right? Then maybe it’s better not to talk about it now?” If I could hear it, then Yuki must have heard it too.
“Oooohhh! That’s right! Sorry! Akira!”
“It’s okay.”
I don’t know if I should have left it to Shirakawa-san earlier, but Shogo’s unnecessary words caused the problem.
“Um, Shirakawa-san? I heard it, you know?”
“Eh!?”
As if being overwhelmed by their high-tension apologies, I said while slightly pulling away.
“I mean, I told you before that I’m living alone without hiding it or anything.”
“But still… it was supposed to be our secret!”
Yuki reacted with a twitch, but Shogo immediately spoke up in a loud voice.
“Isn’t it simple? If Ohira-san can keep it as a secret, then it’s fine, right?”
In response to Shogo’s suggestion, Shirakawa-san snapped her fingers and cheerfully said, “That’s it!”
Then, with upturned eyes, Shirakawa-san took Yuki’s hand.
“Eh, uh, wait…”
“Ohira-san! Let’s keep this a secret between the four of us.”
“Y-Yes…”
Feeling pushed around like a cute puppy, Yuki couldn’t resist and could only nod her head while blushing and turning away.
“Alright, then, Shirakawa-san. Let’s go buy the Juice of Judgment for Akira.”
“Right. It’s our way of atoning for revealing his secret.”
“Isn’t just buying juice too light of a punishment?”
“What do you think is good?”
“Akira doesn’t like pulpy drinks.”
“Okay, then we’ll get one without pulp.”
“Do you even know what ‘atonement’ means?”
Ignoring my voice, the two of them went to the counter to order drinks.
Well, it’s fine. They’re just feeling guilty about talking about information that wasn’t even hidden.
As I let out a defeated sigh while thinking about continuing my studies, I was lightly kicked around the shin area. It didn’t hurt, but I reflexively said, “Ow,” and looked up at the culprit.
“Yuki…?”
The silver-haired beauty in front of me puffed up her cheeks and looked slightly angry.
“Does Shirakawa-san know that you are living alone, Akira-kun?”
Making a groaning, dissatisfied sound, she kicked my shin again.
“Ow, ow! What the h*ll?”
“Do you perhaps like Shirakawa-san, to the point that you revealed that you are living alone?”
“Huh? Why would you think that?”
“Even if it was just the flow of the conversation, isn’t that what it means?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I wonder.”
With a click of her tongue she kicked on my shin again.
“Ow, ow. That hurts, first stop kicking me.”
“Hmph, I won’t stop.”
“Ouch, it hurts.”
“Did you let Shirakawa-san in? Did you let her in your room?”
“I didn’t let anyone in besides Yuki.”
Her phrasing sounded strange. I wanted to say that no one else besides Yuki had entered my room, but because I was being kicked by her repeatedly, my words came out awkwardly.
When she heard my words, she suddenly stopped kicking.
“Only me?”
She averted her gaze, but played with her silver hair while waiting for an answer.
“Yeah.”
To put it succinctly, she looked relieved, as though she was happy to hear the answer.
“Oh, uh, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s just that it’s hard to clean up after more than one person in the room. I don’t have any ulterior motives. I just want to make my job as a maid a little easier.”
“I… I understand.”
“If you understand, then that’s fine.”
In any case, she stopped kicking, which was a relief.
“Sorry for the wait.”
As if on cue, the two returned just as the kicking stopped.
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting, Akira. Here’s your green juice.”
“Why do I have to be the one punished?”
