Chapter 1054 Self Important
Upon arriving at the Student Council, Shizu and the other members were already there, gathered around the long table, and were waiting for me to commence the meeting.
Late or not, the first thing that happened was my presence becoming an instant nuisance for Inugaki. With hostile eyes and a fuming nose, he’s looking more and more like a rabid dog that needs to be leashed or caged every passing day.
As always, I ignored him and greeted the others before focusing my gaze on Shizu, my beautiful Shizu.
Well, she’s not smiling this time. She had this inquisitive gaze as her eyes landed on the girl who entered the room with me.
Yep. I didn’t tell her about bringing Saki this time.
Put under Shizu’s rather chilling gaze, Saki instinctively hid behind me, her hands grabbing onto my sleeve.
“As I thought, this is a bad idea, Ruki. Shizu will be jealous.” The girl whispered in a voice that only I could hear. “I’ll go back.”
Without turning around to check on the girl, I reached for the hand holding my sleeve and squeezed it a bit, “No. Stay here. It’ll be fine. Trust me.”
After saying that, I walked to my designated chair with the girl tailing behind me, passing by the hostile dog and the speechless Treasurer.
However, before I could sit down and offer another seat to Saki, Watanabe who took her time to digest what was happening finally reacted.
While pointing at Saki, Watanabe’s put me under her curious gaze “Onoda-kun, what’s the meaning of that.”
Following her line of sight, she’s definitely talking about how Saki was holding onto my sleeve.
I pretended not to notice where she was pointing and just answered with a prepared line in my mind.
Yep, I prepared for it because I predicted that among them all, she’d be the one who’d be throwing me questions while Shizu would wait until later to ask me what’s this for.
“Hmm? I thought you were already aware of them, Watanabe. She’s part of the Support Club, I employed her help for today.”
Upon hearing that, except for Shizu, the other two also reacted. Inugaki was about to scream again but Watanabe’s follow-up question prevented him.
“Employ? What for?”
“As I said, to help me. You see the state of my office, right? It’s been a week and it still feels like a storage room.”
“Oh… I see.” Watanabe nodded.
Although it looked like she accepted that answer, her eyes remained on my sleeve. Furthermore, she’s also occasionally looking at Shizu. Most likely, she’s waiting for the girl to react as well.
Contrary to her expectation, until we got seated and Shizu straightened her back to start the meeting, the girl never addressed Saki’s presence. She accepted her in the room. From the outside, it would appear as though she found my reason plausible. But her hand that sneaked under the table to give me a pinch was enough indication that she was upset.
And so, compared to the previous meetings, Shizu made it so that the meeting would end early by okay-ing most of the suggestions or issues they raised without hearing all of the details. Totally different from how she was meticulously picking out the problem one by one during the previous meetings.
It's all so she could send them away as soon as possible.
Anyway, before they left, Inugaki barked at me again.
“Oi, first year. Can you stop acting too self-important? Keep your head on the ground.” With his spit sputtering in front of him, the dog acted all high and mighty again.
Honestly, I had no idea what he was talking about. I also didn’t care. Whatever he meant by that, I could simply ignore it. Listen in one ear and out the other.
Compared to the previous instances, Shizu didn’t shut him up. Instead, the girl looked at me with a meaningful smile, amusedly waiting for how I would deflect Inugaki.
“I don’t know what you are talking about, senpai. Care to elaborate?”
“Stop acting ignorantly. I heard about it. You used your position to threaten someone. You even wore your armband. Tell me, is that how you’re going to use the power given to you?”
Is he talking about Uchiyama? Although I expected that incident to instantly spread, it looked like the story was already twisted.
“Where did senpai hear that? Threaten? Please, get your facts straight first.” I shrugged and turned to Shizu. The girl lightly nodded her head.
“Is that all you have in your defense? President. It might be wrong to give him that position. I suggest you strip him off of it.” Inugaki scoffed at me before turning to Shizu.
Given that his voice was filled with confidence, this guy probably thought that it was a strong case against me.
Unfortunately for him…
“Rejected. Here, read this report submitted by him and along with the testimony of other witnesses.” Shizu pulled out a report paper that… I have no recollection of writing.
I did tell her about what happened yesterday but for the girl to create something like that right away… Did she expect Inugaki to use it against me?
How considerate…
But she’s still upset with me. I received another pinch before she tapped on my leg.
Understanding what that meant, I placed my hand on her open palm and clasped it tightly.
While Inugaki was reading what she handed, the girl leaned a little closer before saying with a pout, “I’ll hear your excuse later. But remember your promise, you shameless guy… This should be your time with me.”
It’s not an excuse but sure… I muttered inside my mind as I only put on an understanding smile before clasping our hands tighter. If not for Inugaki remaining in this room, I’d already teased the girl for acting this jealous.
“And Saki, you don’t have to be scared in front of me. It’s this guy’s fault that I’m upset, not yours.” Shizu added, addressing the girl who was silent throughout our stay in this room.
Saki nodded and smiled, “Yes. But Sister Shizu, I’m also guilty of being happy for this chance.”
“Don’t mind it. This guy will get it from us later.” Shizu once again reassured Saki all the while trying to twist my thumb.
Alright. Good thing her grip strength isn’t that strong yet or I will be looking at a broken finger soon.
Anyway, turning our focus back on Inugaki who’s already shaking at what he’s reading, the guy then slammed it back on the table.
Without saying anything else, he glared at me and scoffed once more before stomping his way out of the Student Council Room.
As we watched his back disappear along with the closing of the door, Shizu returned a scoff before shaking her head disappointedly, “That guy never changes. It’s no wonder I never even thought of entertaining his advances. He’s telling you not to be too self-important but that’s how he’s always carrying himself. I hate it. A lot.”
“Well, I may not be self-important but I’m too selfish. Is that fine with you?”
“You idiot. Your selfishness might be inherent but the result of your every action always benefits your girls. You’re interpreting it as your selfishness when in fact, you won’t move simply for your own gain. It always involves a girl or someone close to you” Shizu clicked her tongue before staring at me, her eyes filled with certainty that her interpretation was correct.
“Anyway, enough about that… Let’s go and move to your office.”
Not waiting for me to reply, Shizu stood up and pulled me along with her. Since Saki hadn’t let go of my sleeve, she was dragged along.
In less than a minute, we vacated the Student Council Room and arrived at the neighboring Disciplinary Office.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
