「Well then, I"m sorry that we had to move from the corridor to the library.」
「Y-yes&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; I"m fine with it.」
Certainly we can"t have a calm conversation in the corridor, but unexpectedly she chose the library&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; I get it, she"s using her home as advantage in the fight! (Asakura)
Uwaah~~ Why is a cla.s.s rep character like me being targeted by the female"s top cla.s.s Asakura-san~~?! Since I didn"t want the crime scene being seen by the other girls I"ve been leading Asakura-san into the library, but it seems she"s having some weird misunderstanding, isn"t she? (Cla.s.s Rep)
「A, Asakura-san! It"s a misunderstanding! Wait, it"s just that Andou-kun came to the library and since I"m the library committee member we had a conversation!」
Don"t joke with me! Andou-kun is not even my type, being hated by Asakura-san for that worthless reason, a mere cla.s.s rep character like me will be getting the cold shoulder from all the girls in school, won"t I?! Even if, Asakura-san herself didn"t mean to sink me, in the world of women if the one on top is considering a particular person as an enemy, then it will be the consensus of all the other girls! (Cla.s.s Rep)
「In conclusion, Andou-kun and me are not in any relationship!」
「That means&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; During lunch break you"re doing tryst&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
Wroooooooooong! (Cla.s.s Rep)
「Asakura-san, calm down! To begin with, it"s just light conversations as though it"s with the boys from the cla.s.s as 『usual』!
「Gufu~!」 Bakyu~n!
U-usual&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; "it"s just light conversations as though it"s with the boys from the cla.s.s as 『usual』" she said&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;!? Then, did she just say the whole of my effort in trying to talk with Andou-kun until now is just the 『usual』 thing for her&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;? (Asakura)
「Moreover, Andou-kun and me only talked about books, nothing else!」
「Gaha~!」Bakyu~n!
「Ah, when meeting with Andou-kun at the library, rather than talking about books&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; we were only talking about 『light novels』 and nothing else, I think?」
「Gyafun!」Zuka~n!
W-what the heck&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; this la.s.s, the things I"ve been desperately trying to grasp until now, she"s taking it so lightly&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; (Asakura)
「Alright, I understand. Cla.s.s rep! You"re my enemy!」
「Whyyyyyyyyyyyy!」
Hi-iiiiiiii! T-the thing I"m afraid of becoming reality! (Cla.s.s Rep)
「Asakura-san, hold on! Seriously, I beg you. Listen to what I"m saying, please! A, Asakura-san&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;『likes』 Andou-kun, right?」
「Hau~! W, w-w-w, what are you talking about~~?」
Uwaa~ Asakura-san is so easy to read, she"s fl.u.s.tered&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; This person sucks at lying. (Cla.s.s Rep)
Hauuu~! W-w-w, why cla.s.s rep found out about my feeling! Even though I"ve yet to reveal this feelings to anybody! (Asakura)
「D-don"t get me wrong! It"s not like, I like Andou-kun&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; It"s just, I want to have a relationship in which we can happily talk during lunch break, you know!」
「He, Hee~~&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
Moreover, what"s with this easy to understand tsundere&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;But, with this reaction if I can skillfully guide Asakura-san, it"s unlikely I"ll be turned into her enemy. (Cla.s.s Rep)
「It"s all right, Asakura-san. Calm down, since I don"t have any interest in Andou-kun who is comparable to water fleas, instead, as the cla.s.s rep I"m actually rooting for Asakura-san and Andou-kun"s relationship!」
「Fue&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Cla.s.s rep, is that true?」
「Of course! Even before this I thought about what if Andou-kun had a cheerful person like Asakura-san as a friend! That"s why, I wanted to cooperate with Asakura-san to get along with Andou-kun!」
「Cooperation&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;?」
「Un!」
「Cla.s.s rep is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; for my relationship with Andou-kun?」
「Un, un!」
「But, cla.s.s rep didn"t mind me getting along with Andou-kun?」
「Of course! Ah, I"ll say this no matter how many times, Andou-kun is not my type! My type for a man is someone like 『Red Butler』!」
「Retto batoraー?」
「A, Asakura-san, didn"t know&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Umm, he"s a character from my favorite novel.」
To sum it up, cla.s.s rep is in fact not aiming for Andou-kun&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; On the contrary, she will grant me her cooperation&h.e.l.lip;.. (Asakura)
「Cla.s.s rep! You"re a really nice person! I"m sorry for doubting you!」
「I don"t mind. Look, we"re cla.s.smates, right!」
I"m safeeeeeeee! Alright! On the contrary, by supporting Asakura-san"s love, I can also be intimate with the female"s top cla.s.s Asakura-san and while at it my status between the female cla.s.s will be firmer, I can get by with this calculation! For that Asakura-san to be having a crush on Andou-kun is outside of my expectations, but for the number one in school like Asakura-san just by flirting a little bit, a loner like Andou-kun will be easy for her. (Cla.s.s Rep)
「Well then, cla.s.s rep! What should I do so I won"t be nervous when I"m talking with Andou-kun?」
「&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Ha?」
「T-the thing is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; To be honest I fell in love with Andou-kun just recently&h.e.l.lip;.. But now that I understand that this feeling is 『love』, I can"t look at Andou-kun"s face properly so I can"t talk with him&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
What the, from that partーー?! Eeeeh, that Asakura-san is at this level? (Cla.s.s Rep)
「Uhmm, then, you"ll be fine if you think of Andou-kun"s face as potato, right?」
「If I could do that I wouln"t be troubled like this! Geez!」
Uwah, troublesomeeeee~&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Eh, maybe, I accepted a peskier consultation than I had expected? (Cla.s.s Rep)
「Uhmm&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Asakura-san, cla.s.s will be starting soon so can"t we continue this at another time?」
「A-Ah, you"re right! Cla.s.s rep, I"m sorry for taking your time, see you later! I"m expecting it!」
「Ah, un. YES.」
Fuh&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Finally Asakura-san left. (Cla.s.s Rep)
「Oh, it"s cla.s.s rep.」
「A, Andou-kun.」
What if a rumour is spreading. By the way, what"s his business coming at this late hour. (Cla.s.s Rep)
「Just now, when I was pa.s.sing by Asakura-san over there, I heard it. Cla.s.s rep seems to be on good terms with Asakura-san, huh.」
「Ahahaha&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; O-oh well~~」
Whose fault do you think it is, a.s.shole! (Cla.s.s Rep)
