Why Is the Prettiest Girl in School Trying to Talk to a Loner Like Me during Lunch Break? - Chapter 115 - Hiding Place

Chapter 115 – Hiding Place

“Of course, checking lockers in scenes like this is basically required in light novels ♪ Sure, nobody would actually be hiding inside… but in this situation, it’d be a waste not to open it at least once!”

(Noooo! Hiding in an empty classroom locker is such a cliché, of course she’d be suspicious!)

(You complete idiot! I thought she wasn’t checking the locker, but she was just saving it as the main course!)

“Ooh… Opening it is when your heart really races!” Skan! Skan! ← Heartbeat

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

(Can’t move… Colonel! I can’t move! Need instructions… Colonel, Flat-chest Colonel! Orders!)

(W-Wait!? I get that you’re scared, but pushing won’t create an escape route! M-More importantly… things are touching! V-Various things!?)

(What ‘various things’?! It’s cramped in here, can’t be helped!)

“Here goes–”

(This is it–!? Game over!) (Andou and Student Council President)

Click

“Ahhhhh! F-Found youuuu!”

“”–!””

(We’re dead– wait, the locker didn’t fully open? And that voice…) (Andou and Student Council President)

“You startled me… Yelling suddenly like that. Oh, Yamada-kun. By ‘found’ you meant me?”

“Yeah! Asakura-san, finally tracked you down! It’s me! Yamada!”

(Yamadaaaa!) (Andou and Student Council President)

(Yamada, you beautiful bastard! Sure, you caused this whole mess, but right now you’re our hero!)

(Yamada-kun, well done! Your shouting kept Asakura-san from opening the locker completely… Though none of this would’ve happened if you hadn’t kicked that ball… Such complicated feelings.)

“But why were you looking for me, Yamada-kun?”

“Oh right! See, because of me the Student Council President ended up, well, ‘you know how it goes.’ The Council members said today’s meeting with you probably can’t happen, so they asked me to find you and cancel!”

“I see. Thank you, Yamada-kun.”

“No prob!”

“Well… Even with the meeting cancelled, I’m free and have things to discuss with the Council members anyway… Yamada-kun, could you show me where they are?”

“Of course! They’re taking a break behind the gym right now!”

“Why are Student Council members behind the gym…”

“They just finished giving me a full beatdown for hitting the President with that ball, so they’re probably tired!”

“Then why are you so lively…?”

“Despite appearances, I have excellent eyesight!”

“…Fine. Let’s go.”

“Yeah!”

Sliding door

“……”

“……”

Click…

(Nobody?)

(All clear… right?)

“”Haaa~ We survived…””

Later, Student Council Room

“Finally made it back to the Student Council room!”

“Mission Complete!”

“Let’s see, spare pads… Here they are! Now I can appear in public again~~”

“Wait, why are spare pads in the Student Council’s household shrine…”

“W-Well… For divine protection…”

(That’s more likely to invite divine punishment…)

“Well, my job’s done here.”

“W-Wait!”

“…There’s not more, is there?”

“No, that’s not–!”

“Then what?”

“It’s– um…”

“I’m leaving if it’s nothing.”

(What’s up? The President’s never this indecisive…)

“J-Just– Oh, forget it! F-For today only… thank you! B-But… we’re enemies next time! D-Don’t forget! That’s all… Hmph!”

(Did she just… thank me?)

“……”

“What’s that face?”

“Just thinking the Student Council President has a really troublesome personality…”

“Just get out! I can’t install these pads with you here!”

“Roger, Colonel!”

Sliding door

“Honestly… S-Such a rude man!”

(But maybe… it was a little bit fun ♪)
