"But really, who did it?"
"I am not sure, but he might have made someone he shouldn't make an enemy into an enemy."
"I can tell that for sure."
Nevertheless, no one thought that it was Ishigami who did it since they knew his background well.
As the second son of the small toy company, was it possible for him to do all of this?
More importantly, when they thought of his attitude, who could bear all the infamy to protect the girl he loved? The thought of him exposing everything so his innocence was known never existed in their minds.
Ishigami could become a creepy stalker in everyone's eyes for so long, so they didn't think that they would think he would do all of this.
Nevertheless, due to this widespread news, the school was filled with discussion of his situation, and his classmates, who heard his answer, couldn't wait to tell everyone about what he did, making them know what he did to protect the innocence and the smile of a single girl.
Still, he had expected this since high school students were curious creatures that had nothing to do. Except for the necessary study, there was hardly anything to do, and not every day could be fun for everyone, so when there was a commotion, they would follow it subconsciously.
It was like when everyone followed the hot news, like the infidelity of a celebrity, and talked about it even though it had nothing to do with their lives.
Still, while what had happened to him was troublesome, it was far better than having a status as a creep and a stalker.
As for the two people who were affected by his innocence, Ishigami didn't care much.
Anyway, the two of them were already in different schools, but he knew it was impossible for them to leave unscathed from this incident.
"Ishigami, do you have lunch together?"
"Your treat?"
"My treat! Come on!"
If there was something that changed the most, it would be everyone's attitudes toward him.
As expected, like Onodera, who wished to be his help, everyone was the same as their hearts were filled with guilt, thinking what horrible things they had done to him, so to ease their guilt, they tried to woe him, doing something good for him for their self-satisfaction.
While this might seem selfish and even ugly, it gave him a good thing, so it didn't matter, and frankly, this was how a relationship worked in society.
So, Ishigami had to admit that having something genuine was nice, yet for him, who also couldn't give something genuine, he shouldn't expect much.
"Sorry, I have to work on the student council. Treat me tomorrow."
"Okay, tomorrow. I will treat you. Go work hard on the student council."
Excuse himself, Ishigami left his class, but Onodera followed him under the gaze of a few. "Ishigami!"
"What's wrong, Onodera-san?"
Onodera hesitated, then said, "...let's talk later."
"Okay." Ishigami nodded. "I will send you a chat later."
"Don't forget!"
Watching Onodera, who sulked, clearly remembered that he had forgotten to chat with her yesterday, Ishigami nodded with an embarrassed smile. "Okay, okay. If I forget, you can send me a chat later."
"I will do that."
In the worst case, Onodera thought that she could call him. Still, watching a few girls whose thoughts started to change after they knew what Ishigami did, she frowned, feeling slightly restless, as if everyone also discovered the important treasure that she had happened to discover.
Yet, Onodera wasn't the only one who thought so since few girls also thought that Onodera was like others, those who changed their minds after they knew the truth.
Still, could they even blame Onodera even after their previous act after Ishigami's accident?
Nevertheless, knowing the truth, like any others, they wished to make up with Ishigami.
"Is that a girl you like? If I am not wrong, her name is Onodera Rei, right?"
Ishigami looked at Kaguya, who came out from her hiding place, clearly peeking at his interaction with Onodera. "Senpai, peeking isn't a good hobby, you know?"
Kaguya blushed and said, "I am just wondering how you react after all of this."
As they talked, they walked toward the student council room together, talking about the event that happened at the school.
With Kaguya's help, it was easy for Ishigami's infamy to disappear, and he became a warrior of love who dared to bear everything to protect the girl he loved while also causing those who hurt him to have their reputation and situation turned into shit.
"Thank you, Senpai."
"No problem."
Kaguya smiled softly when she heard Ishigami's heartfelt and sincere thanks, knowing how grateful he was, but—
"Also, I am sorry."
"..."
Kaguya was stunned as she didn't expect an apology from Ishigami, and she asked in confusion, "...why did you apologize?"
"I have made you hurt others, after all."
Ishigami showed an expression of shame and guilt toward Kaguya.
While it was true that everything that Kaguya did was correct and helpful, as she only told the truth about what Ishigami did, in exchange, she hurt the others.
Even those people who were hurt were someone who deserved to be punished; Ishigami wasn't sure how Kaguya felt when she hurt other people.
Was she okay?
Was she uncomfortable?
Was she hurt, too?
While Ishigami didn't care about the two people who had caused his life to be a mess, he cared about Kaguya, who had helped him.
Hearing his words, Kaguya was stunned, then showed a gentle smile as she stretched her hand toward Ishigami's cheek.
"Your new haircut suits you well."
"Senpai?"
"Ishigami, do you think I am a good person?"
Ishigami looked at Kaguya, who asked him such a question, then nodded. "I do."
For him, Kaguya was a kind and gentle senior who helped him, yet Kaguya thought of herself differently.
"But I am not. I am not a good person. This is nothing to me, so you don't have to worry about me."
Unlike an average person, as someone who was born into the Shinomiya family, it was impossible for her to become a good person.
Kaguya had to learn to use others, and she couldn't be kind to others, or else she would be swallowed.
In her mind, she had always been the worst kind of woman; she wanted Ishigami to change his opinion of her so he wouldn't be disillusioned that she was a Virgin Mary who would help everyone in need.
Only Kaguya was stunned when she saw that Ishigami smiled.
"Senpai, you are cute."
"..."
Kaguya blushed and felt speechless, but at the same time, she also felt embarrassed, feeling that her reminder was being ignored by this junior of hers. Still, she was stunned when her small and slender hand was held by his hand.
"I am not sure about the others you since Kaguya-senpai, whom I know, is the one in front of me. You might be a little strict, but I know you wish me the best. There might be another face of you that I don't know, and you might think I am naive for thinking like this, but in my eyes, you are the gentlest Senpai."
"Ishigami..." Kaguya felt her eyes were slightly red, but somehow, she didn't want to show it and quickly said, "Even if you said that, I won't lessen your study."
"Ah, can you lessen it for a bit?"
"No~!"
Kaguya smiled, watching his comical expression. "If you want to impress the girl you like, you should show your effort, okay?"
"Will she even look at me when I show my effort?"
Kaguya blushed, watching his playful expression, and knew that she was being teased by him again. "Stop teasing me!" She pulled his ear directly, showing her majesty as a senior.
"Ah, Senpai, it hurts! Don't pull my ear!"
"...is it hurt?"
Kaguya felt she didn't feel she had put much effort into pulling his ear.
"...but it feels good."
"Pervert!"
"I was joking. Don't look at me with those eyes."
"Really?"
"Really! Really!"
As they had their banter, while Kaguya didn't realize it, she thought of him as someone she could trust, and at the same time, she thought of him as someone who was important in her life.
Someone who made her smile daily.
Yet—
"Are you ready?" Ishigami asked.
"...I am."
Watching his willingness to help her deepen her relationship with her loved one, Kaguya hesitated, wondering what Ishigami's true feelings were.
'I have to help him.'
Kaguya knew that she couldn't give her feelings toward him, yet there were many ways for her to help him.
Nevertheless, Ishigami wasn't sure what this senior of his was thinking, and even if he knew, he would roll his eyes. As he thought so, Ishigami pushed the door open and saw Shirogane, who was already inside.
"Oh? Ishigami? Shinomiya?"
Naturally, Shirogane noticed the two, but this time, he didn't have much thoughts about the two since—
"Kaichou, can I discuss something with you?"
