Extra in The Student Council
32. By any chance, you liked getting hurt?
"Um, could you let us through?" Kaguya said this to the two members of the student council who were acting like criminals and peeking inside the room.
Miyuki instantly reacted like he was guilty of something, while Yuu was as calm as the sea, which is already bizarre in its own way, especially if it's Kaguya who talked to him.
'What are you guys doing?" Chika was also curious about their strange behavior. Shuu was the same, but he kept his silence, as there wasn't any need for further questions.
The three of them could see Kashiwagi and her boyfriend inside the room.
"We're trying to see If those two have already gone the whole way or not," Yuu calmly explained.
"Heh!? They've gone that far!?" Chika was startled by the sudden revelation.
Kaguya was confused as she didn't understand the context of Yuu's words.
And Shuu... wanted to face-palm himself, his expression clearly showing, (Does it even matter to you guys?) He was perplexed by Yuu and Miyuki.
Meanwhile, Kaguya, who had instantly become flustered after Chika explained what they were talking about, also became intrigued.
"Ah!" Yuu exclaimed.
"They're holding hands like lovers."
"Is this enough proof for you?" Yuu said that directly to Miyuki.
(It seemed that they had already been debating this for some time) That was what Shuu caught from their conversation.
"No, you can do something like that on the first date," Miyuki denied.
When it was Chika who peeked, "Ahh! They've kissed!"
Hearing that, "No, not yet. You can kiss on the third date!" Miyuki denied it again, but…
"No, this feeling... I knew it intuitively. They're already gone all the way." Chika denied Miyuki's statement.
All the student council's members suddenly forgot what they were doing because of what Chika said. If it's Shuu who said that they might not think it was strange, but it's Chika! It's astonishing to a high degree!
They all stared at Chika, dumbfounded. And after a few moments of silence, Miyuki finally said something.
"How do you know?"
"Eee…" Chika was troubled about how to explain it. She tried her best to explain it. "My sister also had that aura of femininity on her for some time. I can't explain, but I just know."
After she said that, the others were also unable to say anything more.
It was still hard to believe for Kaguya, so she also peeked inside.
On the other hand, Chika peeked at Shuu's reaction. She didn't say it, but it was also around the time when her sister suddenly became close with Shuu.
Shuu felt her gaze and showed her a flawless smile, leaving not a single point to be suspicious.
"Haaa!!" Kaguya's startled voice quickly attracted everyone's attention. "He's kissing her neck!!" Everyone fussed again as they forgot what Chika had said. They subconsciously ignored it. After all, it was Chika who said that.
At the end, Kashiwagi caught them peeking, and She explained how they only pranked the student council's members and hadn't done anything they thought of. Which made the others end up even more confused, except for Shuu and Chika.
Result of today's battle: Student Council's loss.
***
Right now, Shuu is speechless in the student council room.
Why?
It's because of the two invaders.
After calming down, Shuu strikes up a conversation with one of the invaders. "I never knew you are a M, Furushashi-san"
"What do you mean by that!?" Fumina instantly snapped back, showing that she fully understood the meaning behind Shuu's words.
"I mean, even after what I said last semester, you're still here."
"!!" Fumino flinched, then her eyes began swimming around. "You only said that you would only force me until last semester's exam, but you didn't say I couldn't ask for your help on my own after that."
"It's undeniable that we've improved from the result of last semester, so we're asking for the student council's help again."
"Ah! But, of course, only when the student council isn't busy. On the other hand, we will also help when you guys are short of hands."
On Fumino's side, Rizu also nodded her head.
"Is that true?" Shuu asked the other council members, and they nodded at him. (I never knew there was such an agreement) Shuu was unprepared for this. Shuu knew it was unlikely for Miyuki to decide this without consulting or at least informing the other members, which means...
Shuu turned his attention to Kaguya and found her with an obvious fake, innocent face.
(As expected, it was her work. I guess this is her way of 'This is my revenge!')
Shuu decided to put his revenge on her revenge on hold for now. and turned his attention to Fumino again.
"Furuhashi-san, by any chance, you liked getting hurt?" Shuu asked.
"I'm nott!!!" Fumino replied in an instant.
"No matter who it is, if they knew what happened between us, I'm pretty sure they'd come to the same conclusion as I do."
Ughh," Fumino felt an arrow just strike her body. "Well.... you know that... They say, the stricter the teacher, the better the result."
"Really?" Shuu stared sharply at her. On the other hand, Fumino was trying her best to avoid eye contact as she nodded back.
After a few moments...
"Well, I guess what you said is correct." Shuu remembered those days of training and studying.
(It was hell on earth.) Shuu could still feel the goosebumps just from memory.
Then, as always, the girl, who was always unable to read the room, interrupted. "Let's play a Sugoroku together! It's made by our club!" Chika said.
Well, at least she waited until Fumino and Shuu finished their conversation.
But today there's a second girl who was unable to read the room as Chika. "Let's play!" Rizu also instantly agreed to play.
Shuu and Fumino fell into an awkward situation. They looked at each other for a moment before they let out a chuckle together, and they also agreed to play.
Meanwhile,
"No way"
"No, thank you." Instant rejection came from Kaguya and Miyuki.
"Ehhh?!" Chika didn't believe what she heard.
"I only feel nothing will come out of it," Kaguya said her reason.
"Nothing good could ever come of playing any game you make." Miyuki also did the same.
"Everyone in the club made it together! It'll be fine." Chika replied, and he turned to Shuu for some help, but...
"I'm sorry, Chika." Shuu apologized, saying, "I understood very well why they said that. Instead, I can only hear logic behind their words."
By now, Chika had a face like someone who had just been backstabbed by her best friends.
"Don't be like that," Yuu added. "Making a game is actually pretty tough. It'd be pretty sad to go through all that trouble of making one and then not having anyone play it."
Kaguya and Miyuki become troubled by those words and agree to play them once. Chika even let out some tears at finally having someone to support her.
and Shuu…
He put his hands on Yuu's shoulder. "I didn't know you had it in you, Ishigami," He said.
"What do you mean?" Yuu was confused by the sudden praise.
"Don't you know? Guilt-tripping someone is the best way to manipulate them," Shuu explained. "Am I right, Shinomiya-san?"
"I guess you could say it like that. It's one for the beginner, but it's undoubtedly quite powerful." Kaguya also agreed. "It'll be more powerful if they can make the opponent think they're the ones manipulating us."
"That's right. Like that, they won't even realize they are dancing like a string puppet on the stage," Shuu added. Kaguya nodded at his words, and therefore, as if some kind of connection had been made between them, they let out a small laugh at each other.
Then they both realized the room had turned silent. They saw the other members backing away from them like scared animals.
"Hmm? What happened, guys?" Shuu asked.
"Is there something wrong?" Kaguya also asked. Right now, they both had the exact same flawless, perfect smile on their faces, like robots.
At that instant, everyone unconsciously gulped. They felt goosebumps all over their bodies, and they also had matched thoughts (I didn't want to imagine what they would be able to do if they joined hands).
And so, The Sugoroku game made by Tabletop Club, called Happy Life Game, started~
