Chereads / A Twilight Promise / Chapter 77 - Plan in Preparation

Chapter 77 - Plan in Preparation

"Are you still awake?" Shinosuke sent a mail to Mayoi.

"Yes."

"She was at my house while I'm at yours, totally crazy."

"What? That is funny!"

"Anyways, I asked her to go home, it's late. She had something to tell me, I bet it's about the school trip and the candidate for the next student council members."

"We actually worked for another semester without handing down our positions, I can't imagine how the next student council members handle it without experience."

"Yeah, I already had some of them in mind. It is just up to them to agree if they wanted to join us."

"That is the hardest part..."

"Tomorrow will be busy, having to go to a date with her, then handle all the work. You'll be there for me right?"

"... Of course."

"Love you."

"Me too."

"Goodnight."

"You too, goodnight."

After having a sweet conversation with Mayoi, Shinosuke received a message from Chisato.

"I'm home at last, let's talk." Chisato sent.

"Sure."

"I've almost finished the paperwork for the field trip. So we'll move on to the next agenda."

"Wait, I thought we're supposed to discuss it together?"

"I have to make up the time we lost after today's incident."

"That is why you sure took your time when we were at the rooftop."

"Teehee."

"Don't teehee me!"

"You think he is suitable to become the next president, right?"

"No doubt. He has his friends to support him. Much like us back in the day."

"... Yeah, I wondered how it was like then."

"Huh?"

"Nothing, let's move on."

"There are also two second years I would like to scout, but they already have their own clubs."

"Then we can't have them joining."

"That is unfortunate."

"They can still help as friends you know?"

"How far you think their obligations to help each other will extend?"

"Dunno? You'd think that will be too much for him to handle?"

"No... I just hope my judgements were right."

"No one is always correct, Shinosuke-kun."

"You sure adapt to new names rather quickly."

"I'm now in love with you you know?"

"Huh? Since when?"

"When you grabbed my shoulders. It hurts, but I loved it."

"That time when I turned my president into a masochist."

"What a lame title."

"Sorry, been into light novels recently."

"Haven't been reading those since I became her."

"... It must be hard on you right?"

"Yeah, but I managed, at least it changed me into a different person."

"Good for you, I'll make sure tomorrow will be a great day for you."

"I'm looking forward for that."

"See you tomorrow."

"I'll be dropping by your place, make sure to wake up on time."

"Seriously?!"

"Yes, serious as in serious."

"Alright, I understand. Goodnight."

"Goodnight too."

...

"Shin-chan! The girl from yesterday is waiting for you!" Shinosuke's mother woke him up.

"Huh?!" Shinosuke jumped awake.

"Is she for real?! Her house is at least one station away, how early did she wake up?!" Shinosuke thought to himself.

"Such dedication... I guess I have to comply with her efforts..." Shinosuke thought to himself.

"Shin-chan, are you coming down or not?" Another call from his mother echoed from downstairs. Shinosuke then gets ready in a haste.

"It's getting warmer isn't it?" Chisato said.

"Uh yeah..." Shinosuke responded.

"Well, let's say... If your doubts cleared up today, there is still new ones waiting to show up." Chisato said.

"Is this some crazy morning brain teasing routine you have every day?" Shinosuke said.

"That is kind of rude for you to say that. I'm trying to motivate you, you know?" Chisato said.

"Alright... That is so sweet of you, Mayoi." Shinosuke said.

"Wait... Did you just...?" Chisato is stunned.

"That's your name isn't it? At least I'll call you that when we are alone." Shinosuke patted Chisato's head.

"You really know how to make a girl fell for you." Chisato said.

"That will just make me sound like a player you know?" Shinosuke leaned forward.

"You're acting from experience huh?" Chisato said.

"Yeah, I kissed your lips yesterday." Shinosuke said.

"Huh?! Hawawawawawa...." Chisato is embarrassed.

"Ahahaha! Today feels great! Let's go, we have a lot of work to do!" Shinosuke ran forward.

"... Fufu... It's because of you..." Chisato smiled and looked up to the sky. The tears that tried to escape her eyes slowly dried up.

The two of them reaches the school together and meets up with Mayoi.

"Good morning, president and Shinosuke-kun." Mayoi said.

"Someone's changed huh?" Chisato teased.

"I just happened to understand something." Mayoi replied.

"Well, guess whose lips were kissed yesterday?" Chisato pretended to whistle.

"Huh?! Hawawawawa!" Mayoi is now embarrassed.

"Wow... The exact same reaction." Chisato commented.

"I'll be counting on the two of you today, my dear comrades." Chisato said as she gleefully headed to the student council room.

"Alright, let's do our best today, Shinosuke-kun!" Mayoi looked at Shinosuke with sparkling eyes.

"It takes love to change someone like this huh?" Shinosuke smiled. He grabbed Mayoi's hand and walked together to the student council room.

"First, we summon them to our office, then have a talk with them." Shinosuke suggested.

"Well, they might misunderstand why they were summoned over." Mayoi said.

"That is also a possibility, I guess we will have to look for him ourselves." Chisato said.

"Let's go." Shinosuke stood up and left the room.

"Mayoi-chan, I'm sorry for breaking the promise." Mayoi apologized.

"It's fine, we both fell for the same person, I myself can't say I'm not in the wrong myself. It's almost unfair for him to have a harem like this." Chisato said.

"Harem huh, I wonder how my family see this." Mayoi laughs.

"Well, it's up to Shinosuke's own efforts in the future." Chisato said. The two laughs.

"Why are you asking for us?" Keita asked as he, Ayumi and Itsuki is being called out by Shinosuke.

"I have something to ask of you." Shinosuke asked.

"I want you guys to help me with this." He continued. The group is frightened to hear the words Shinosuke said.

"You sounded earnest, and the first of April is already over, so no way this is a joke right?" Itsuki said.

"You still call yourself a detective based on those assumptions?" Ayumi said.

"Ahaha..." Itsuki chuckled.

"I see... This means we have to remember about this somehow, and then act when necessary." Keita said. Shinosuke nodded.

"This is a secret between you and me, if the two of them finds out, I think we will be in the same boat. Please make this work. I'm counting on you." Shinosuke bowed.

"Sure. I know someone who can help us." Keita smiled.

"I see..." Shinosuke felt relieved.

"Huh? What is going on here? Did the invitation went wrong?" Chisato said as she approaches.

"Please join the student council!" Shinosuke said.

"..." A moment of silence later...

"EHHHH?!" Keita and his friends reacted.

Behind this facade, lies a plan in motion.
