Why Is the Prettiest Girl in School Trying to Talk to a Loner Like Me during Lunch Break?

Chapter 114 – Asakura-san Attacks

“Andou-ku~n? Are you somewhere around here~?” Pat pat ← Footsteps

–Science Room–

“Why are you hiding too?!” Whispering

“Hold on, think about it. Student Council President… What happens if Asakura-san finds me?”

“W-Well…”

“Knowing how sharp Asakura-san is, she definitely knows you were Yamada’s victim. And there’s a high chance she knows I was there too… So it wouldn’t be strange if she’s already deduced we’re together for some reason.”

“Surely not… Even Asakura-san wouldn’t–”

“How strange~ From what the other Student Council members told me, the President had an unfortunate accident and Andou-kun was apparently nearby… So I figured there’s a high probability they’d be together for various reasons, but I can’t detect Andou-kun’s scent or sense the President anywhere?”

“…See?”

“Eeeek!? S-She knows!” ← Whispering

“President, while Asakura-san is basically a natural airhead with klutzy tendencies, her base specs are really high. What makes her dangerous is when she naturally channels those high specs into freely rampaging… Exactly like now.”

“You say terrible things about your girlfriend… But anyway, even if she finds you, as long as she doesn’t know we’re together, there’s no need to hide, right?”

“Hmm, not quite…”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean–”

“Sniff sniff… Sniff sniff… Oh my? For some reason I’m picking up Andou-kun’s scent very close by?”

“At times like this, Asakura-san has annoyingly sharp instincts.”

“What kind of logic is that?!” ← Whispering

(Come to think of it, when I first invited Asakura-san to my room, she immediately zeroed in on the bottom shelf of my bookcase – exactly where I didn’t want her looking… Somehow Asakura-san has a sixth sense for things people want to hide.)

“And President, hypothetically speaking – what if Asakura-san accidentally spots us hiding together? What would she think?”

“W-What would she think…”

(Our current situation–)

- Alone together in an empty classroom

- Secret rendezvous with another woman behind girlfriend’s back

- Said woman fresh from shower and in gym clothes

“Th-That would be… really bad.”

“Exactly.”

“Sniff sniff… Sniff… Aha! This science room seems suspicious!”

“Eeeeek! S-She’s onto us!” ← Whispering

“Stay calm, President! Q-Quick, let’s hide somewhere…”

“Hide where–”

“Over here!”

Sliding door opens ← Science room door

“Andou-ku~n? Are you in here~?”

“” …… “” Ba-dump! Ba-dump! ← Heartbeats

“Hmm, not here. How odd? I definitely sense lingering traces of Andou-kun’s presence… Could Andou-kun be avoiding me?”

“”!?”” Flinch!

“But… Impossible~ There’s no reason for Andou-kun to run from me!”

“”Phew…”” ← Inside the locker

(Why am I, the Student Council President, crammed in a locker with a male student like you?!) ← Via eye contact

(What choice did we have?! This tiny locker was the only hiding spot for both of us!) ← Via eye contact

(Even so, I should’ve hidden alone while you stayed out in the open!)

(If I did that, Asakura-san would grill me about why you were hiding and I’d crack under pressure! Besides, if the Student Council President’s chest wasn’t so impossibly flat, we wouldn’t be in this mess!)

(Y-You! You finally said the one thing that must never be said to a lady! That’s it, I’m jumping out to expose this farce to your girlfriend!)

(Don’t do anything stupid!) Press!

(–!? Kyaaaah! W-Where do you think you’re touching?!)

(Huh? Where? I’m just holding your ‘shoulder’…)

(Sh… Shoulderrr?! You dimwit! What you’re pressing is… N-Never mind! Just remove that hand immediately!)

(But if I do… President, you’ll jump out of the locker, right?)

(I won’t! I don’t even care anymore! I’ll stay quiet so hurry up and move your hand!)

(O-Okay… True, suddenly touching a woman’s body – even yours, President – lacks consideration as a man, unavoidable or not…)

(This goes way beyond lacking consideration…)

(Hey, President! More importantly, looks like Asakura-san’s done checking and is leaving!)

(Really?! Finally, we can escape!)

*This entire conversation conducted via eye contact

“Hmm… It’s unlikely Andou-kun would hide somewhere like this. Must be my imagination? Sigh… The Student Council election has been eating into my after-school Andou-kun time, so maybe I’m suffering withdrawal symptoms? When I get home, I need to stock up on Andou-kun essence!”

(…) Staring

(…) Sweating profusely

(So much to unpack… Wait, ‘when I get home’? Are you two living together?)

(No no, I just visit Asakura-san’s house after school every day… I go home to my own place at night, nothing inappropriate!)

(I see~. Well, now Asakura-san will finally leave–)

“Actually, let me check inside that locker before I go.”

(WHAT?! WHY?!) (Andou and Student Council President) Panic!
