'I actually think that others like me and test them with words. Am I too narcissistic?'
'And the other party directly ordered me to be kicked out.'
'A smart person like Senior Sister should have definitely guessed what I was thinking at that time, so she used this tactful way to ask me to leave.'
When he thought about it like this, a sense of shame surged up in his heart, and even Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel his face getting hot.
This incident was still lingering in his mind until school was over.
Even so, he did feel much more relaxed.
At least in this way, the cooperative relationship between the two should last for a long time, and Kato Yusuke will not be forced to lose his job.
Judging from the results alone, it can be considered gratifying.
After packing up his things, he walked directly towards Hui's seat.
As the last day before the election, the two still need to make final confirmations on many things.
…
Let’s go to the old audio-visual classroom in the activity building.
"Well, I have compiled a draft of tomorrow's speech, but it's better for Kato-kun to read the specific content in person."
The girl who said this took out a stack of A4 paper from her school bag and handed it to Kato Yusuke.
"Thank you for your hard work."
So Yusuke lowered his head and looked up, and Megumi came very naturally.
"First of all, the main political components. According to Kato-kun's previous plan...ah, although this idea is actually a suggestion from Kasumigaoka-senpai."
The girl introduced: "Through the "unanimity of interests", they are the declaration of air-conditioning installation in the first grade and the commitment to redistribute funds for cultural clubs..."
"Hmm... From the looks of it, you have really made a lot of incredible promises. It should be said that you are almost changing the school system, basically."
This way of speaking, with subtle complaints mixed in the words, made Yusuke Kato couldn't help but look up at the other person.
For some reason, he always felt that Hui today seemed slightly different from usual.
This was an indescribable feeling, but it really existed in his mind.
The girl, on the other hand, continued her speech unmoved.
"There is another thing, which is to "persuade people with strong speeches", which is about the teachers' reaction to these things."
Kato Yusuke nodded in agreement. This was also something the two had discussed before.
Even though the student union's voting is limited to students, this does not mean that teachers' ideas can be ignored.
Otherwise, regardless of whether it is for a prank or a joke, if a candidate comes to power with the idea that "to become the student council president is to dominate the women in this school," it will definitely cause problems in various senses.
In other words, while wooing the students, we must also convince the teacher, a person with high authority over the school's decision-making, to accept it.
If it is rejected by them, even getting a vote will become meaningless.
"Teacher..." Kato Yusuke murmured, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.
Unconsciously, so many people had gathered around him.
Of course, in addition to the first two who took the initiative to help him, the teachers of other sports clubs also had certain interests with Yusuke, and at least they would not hinder him.
"If you think about it this way, I seem to have an advantage in this aspect...?" Kato Yusuke said with some uncertainty.
"..."
Hui raised her eyes and looked at him, "You seem to be feeling proud, Kato-kun."
The calm words were mixed with a little bit of complaint.
And this was definitely not Kato Yusuke's illusion, so he finally couldn't help but ask: "If possible, can I ask you something? Kato-san."
"……Huh?"
Hui sat up slightly and said, "I'm not nervous. I'm not abnormal."
"…………"
"Ah, if you want to say "Why do you know what I want to ask?", it's probably because of that expression on your face, Kato-kun."
"…………"
Looking at those clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but become even more speechless.
"call……"
He exhaled slowly: "Today's Kato-san really doesn't look like Kato-san..."
"Yes, you think so."
The girl murmured in a low voice: "...I am aware of this for the time being."
The expression at that moment looked very cute.
Obviously the timing was not right, but Yusuke Kato couldn't help but laugh.
"That's too much for you..."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, it's just the first time I see your expression like this..."
"My expression is like this...?"
"Well, what should I say..."
Yusuke Kato couldn't help but blurt out subconsciously: "Just like an ordinary girl, very cute."
The audio-visual classroom fell silent for a moment.
Yusuke was slightly startled when he realized what he had said, but fortunately, Megumi quickly picked up the conversation.
"...Ah, well, um, although it's a little hard to tell how you have been looking at me all this time."
The girl looked at him with a hint of resentment: "Although I am not easy for people to keep in their hearts, I feel like I am still a girl, ordinary."
The slightly accentuated sound at the end of the sentence made Kato Yusuke smile, and the timely complaints also resolved the embarrassment in his heart.
Kato Yusuke smiled and shook his head: "It's not like that. In fact, Kato-san is quite nice like this. Maybe I didn't make it clear, but what I just said was a compliment."
After a pause, he continued: "But... are you nervous about the speech you have to give tomorrow?"
The girl let out a sigh of relief: "...After all, I am giving a speech in front of so many people. I can't be as calm as Kato-san."
"If you feel nervous, think of the people in the audience as motionless dolls."
"Um...you realize that's actually a bit scary, right? Kato-kun."
"What about the cabbage?"
"…………"
"Otherwise, don't make eye contact with people, which can also reduce tension."
"Even if you say so...it doesn't seem to be something that can be done easily, and what about everyone's gaze?"
I couldn't tell whether his tone was calm or depressed, and he didn't look very energetic.
Seeing this, Kato Yusuke thought for a while and said: "Maybe you can also find a way to concentrate yourself, such as thinking about something interesting."
"Oh~ yes, that's it." The girl responded in a good-reading tone: "Anyway, thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it later, and I will go home today."
After saying that, he packed up his things, stood up from his seat, and walked towards the door.
"Goodbye then, Kato-kun."
Looking at the slender figure leaving, Kato Yusuke suddenly said: "Kato-kun."
The girl turned around and looked back.
The two looked at each other in the air.
There was silence for about three seconds.
Yusuke took a deep breath and said, "If you feel nervous, just look at me when you give the speech tomorrow."
