"Our school library has added light novels. It seems that President Kato and his teacher applied for it!"
"You already know this. The student who is the librarian has already posted it on Twitter. Didn't you see it?"
Two girls dressed in fashionable styles were chatting enthusiastically about recent events on campus.
"Eh!? I don't know at all...but it's amazing! You actually dare to do such a thing publicly."
"It's absolutely true, but the person involved has said that he is an otaku before, so if you think about it that way, you won't be surprised."
"You're right, you're really brave! I even started to become interested in comics recently!"
"No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, I think you are actually more interested in President Kato, right?"
"Hehe, correct answer~ But there is no reward."
"No! But... Speaking of which, what is the name of that novel?"
"...Well, it seems to be called love rhythm or something, right?"
Although the topic of conversation was about the new light novel collected in the school library, when the title of the book was mentioned, both of them looked at a loss.
In the brief blank period caused by their thinking——
"It's not "Rhythm of Love," the name of that work is "Metronome of Love."
A deep male voice sounded from behind at the right time and answered their doubts.
"Huh……?"
Immediately looking back, the person they saw appearing in front of them was the topic they had just been talking about.
"Chairman Kato...!?"
The two women couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then subconsciously arranged their hair.
"Um, good morning!" x2
The girls said hello shyly, feeling a little embarrassed about being exposed by the person in question.
"Good morning."
Kato Yusuke nodded, looked around the classroom, and then turned back and said, "Do you know where Sawamura-san is?"
"Sorry, I'm not sure about this."
Facing the inquiry, one of the girls shook her head in confusion, but the other girl cheered as if she had remembered something.
"Well, if you are looking for Sawamura-san, I remember I saw her going to the chemistry classroom just now, President Kato!"
"Is that so? I understand."
After hearing this, Kato Yusuke nodded and smiled at the two of them: "Thank you for informing me."
The girls waved their hands at this, "No, please don't say that! We are here, and it's really great to be able to help the president."
If we say that among the three grades, the first-year students who admire him the most are undoubtedly the first-year students, followed by the second-year students, and then the third-year students.
This can also be clearly distinguished from the students' attitude towards him.
For example, the first two will take the initiative to say hello when they see him, while the third grade is a little indifferent. Many of them have a deliberately indifferent mentality, but they just don't say it openly.
Therefore, Yusuke Kato was not surprised by the enthusiasm of the two girls from Class F. After thanking them, he left and walked towards the science classroom.
…
"sorry."
"Well……"
The morning sunlight slants through the glass into the science classroom during recess. In a quiet environment, a boy and a girl are having a conversation here.
"I'm very happy about the senior's thoughts, really."
"Ah, it's okay, eh."
The golden hair she was born with unreservedly asserts her own existence in the rhythmic light, constantly emitting dazzling light.
"However, my current thoughts are entirely on the art exhibition next year, so..."
"That's right... that's right! After all, it affects whether you can win the award for two consecutive years. I'm sorry, during such an important period, I still..."
"No, senior, don't say that... I'm really sorry."
Facing the boy's apology, the girl responded with the same polite apology, and was ready to say the farewell words she was already familiar with in the next second to end this boring incident.
But I heard the other party suddenly say: "Then...then you should keep your answer first!"
"Huh……?"
The words in her mouth were blocked by the unexpected response, causing the girl to raise her head and take a serious look at this ignorant boy for the first time.
The boy, on the other hand, was not aware of the abnormality and continued to talk: "When the art exhibition is over, I hope you can consider it again, how about it?"
"…………"
"Is it...not possible?"
"…………"
"Sawa...Sawamura?"
Faced with these entangled remarks, the girl always responded with silence, but a feeling of irritability slowly emerged in her heart.
In that long silence that was so embarrassing that people wanted to bury their heads in the dirt.
The result was that the blind senior was completely ignored, and finally had no choice but to walk out of the classroom with his head down.
At this point, the girl was finally able to leave from here.
But when she walked out of the door humming a brisk melody, a voice suddenly came into her ears.
"Are you done?"
"babble--!!"
The girl, who seemed to be frightened by the sound, immediately trembled and jumped two steps to the side.
After seeing the face of the person leaning against the door clearly, he stamped his feet angrily and said: "Wait, idiot! Why do you suddenly come out like this to scare people!"
"Because I felt that the atmosphere inside just now was not suitable for intervention, so I waited at the door."
Kato Yusuke stood up with his arms crossed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
Seeing the tall figure walking towards her, Yinglili took a small step back reflexively, and then asked as if she realized something.
"So, you saw it?"
"Well, it's just a coincidence."
"Since when have you been watching?"
"Probably start with the part "Sawamura-kun, I have something to tell you. It's something important that must be said no matter what."
Hearing this, Ying Lili immediately gritted her teeth.
"Oops~~ Your Chrysostomian claim was a coincidence, but I didn't expect that you were here to watch from the beginning to the end. Such eavesdropping on the wall really makes people dare not accept it~~"
As the awkward and weird words came out of his mouth, the golden ponytail also swung gracefully on both sides of his head, showing extraordinary centrifugal force.
In response, Kato Yusuke used his palm to become a knife and gave the opponent a virtual chop on the head, and then said: "Don't use that yin and yang weird argument as a respectful term, I have something to ask you."
As if dissatisfied with the preaching tone, the girl pursed her lips and said, "So, why are you looking for me? If you have anything to do, please keep it short. Oh, what a pity, the time is up. See you next time."
After a series of speeches, Yinglili wanted to turn around and leave.
Kato Yusuke didn't stop him, he just asked: "Do you want to join the student union? Eiriri."
The steps that had been quite impressive just now were paused for an instant. The girl turned her head and saw the person in front of her holding a piece of paper in his hand. Her name was on the column for applicants for the Ministry of Education.
"What, don't you already know everything, why do you bother to ask questions even though you already know it? Are you trying to make things difficult for others and put forward some conditions? That's bad."
Saying that, Yinglili immediately hugged her slender body with both hands and cast her eyes over with a wary expression.
However, Kato Yusuke didn't answer the question at all, and just continued to ask at his own pace: "Don't be silly, I just want to know if you are serious about joining the ministry?"
A breeze blew in the corridor, making the form rustle, and the girl responded angrily: "Anyway, Kasumi... No, I mean that terrible woman also wrote the same thing, right? In that case, I also
Want to join!"
"...Just to get angry with Senior Shiyu?"
"I'm not angry! She was obviously the one who provoked me first, I just responded normally!!"
"No, although I don't deny that Senior Shiyu's personality is somewhat...unique, but generally speaking, that person will not be interested in others unless someone is looking for trouble."
"What, then - are you now doubting that I am panicking!!?" Ying Lili asked loudly with a slightly higher voice than before, with the pointed little tiger teeth looming in her mouth, and her body showed an offensive posture.
On the other hand, Kato Yusuke is still calm.
"That's not what I meant."
After thinking about it, he said: "But you said that Senior Shiyu behaved provocatively towards you, what specifically did you mean?"
"Huh? Ah, um..."
The girl couldn't help but hesitated in her words, then she hummed and looked away, and murmured with her arms folded: "Who told her to take action on other people's things without saying hello? Even in the industry, this is something that cannot be tolerated lightly.
avoid!"
"So what does that 'thing' mean?" Kato Yusuke continued to ask.
"...Huh? Ah, that's...that's this...that..." The girl's mouth kept mumbling, but she couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
After a long time like this, she irritably moved the ponytail on her shoulder, then pointed at Yusuke Kato and said confidently: "Anyway - that's how it is! You just need to remember this.
!”
‘Remember something, isn’t this completely unspecified?’
"Even so..."
Facing the girl who kept looking at him, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sigh: "So what are you going to do about the art club and the fan club? You can't quit easily or just let it go. What do you think about these things?
Have you passed?"
"Huh? How could I do that? Shouldn't I call you an idiot?"
Ying Lili said matter-of-factly: "As long as we participate at the same time, it will be fine. After all, as long as the art department completes the tasks regularly, there will be no problem. The club's works can also be brought to the student union for painting. There are no outsiders anyway.
"
"No, it means you won't forget that Kato-san is not from our side, right?"
"I said, although the main responsibility for this matter lies with that woman, you are not the one who really exposed my background. And Kato-san doesn't seem like someone who talks nonsense outside. I will talk to her then.
Have a good conversation."
These words made Kato Yusuke helplessly shake his head, "Although it may not be visible on the surface, there are actually quite a few things that the student union is responsible for. If you are not worried about affecting the progress of your work, give it a try.
"
"You are so long-winded. You must know that the person standing in front of you right now is Eri Sawamura! How can this matter trouble me?" The girl with her hands on her hips looked full of confidence.
After finishing speaking, he added: "Besides, even if some plans may not meet the deadline, I just need to let you be responsible for part of it, right?"
"...You really have the speech of a capitalist, thank you for being able to order others so easily and freely." Yusuke Kato was speechless for a while.
And Yinglili asked with an air of dignity: "As promised in advance, I'm not forcing you, but who told someone that they will always take care of me, so there should be no problem with this, right?"
After she finished speaking, she burst into laughter, her brows filled with childish pride. And with this smile, her already delicate and extraordinary smile became more vivid and her features were picturesque.
Such a childish look made Kato Yusuke sigh again, but he did not deny the above words.
He just nodded and said: "Understood, I will help as long as it is within the scope of my ability. Then let's do it. Come to me after you have dealt with the matters in the art department, and then I will take you to the student union."
"I told you not to be so verbose. I'm not a child. Just wait and wait. Then I'm going back too, bye."
The girl said this in an impatient tone, and then left straight along the center of the corridor.
