“Oh right. Aren’t you the Disciplinary Officer now, Onoda-kun?”
I was about to excuse myself since their small meeting had just ended when Eguchi-sensei asked something as though she had just remembered it.
Looks like, as one of the Guidance Counselors, she was already informed of the creation of that new position for me.
It’s already been a week since then. It’s understandable. It’s actually a wonder why I hadn’t been called by them yet. To go over what would really be the scope of my position.
“Eh? Disciplinary Officer, what’s that?”
Before I could respond, that and similar questions rose from the Basketball Club members upon hearing the rather foreign term.
Satsuki was aware of it so she only had her brows raised as a reaction.
“A new position in the Student Council. It was proposed by the current President, Asakura. You all heard about that incident at the Baseball Club, right? The Disciplinary Officer’s job will be to prevent that kind of damage again.” Eguchi-sensei explained.
“Yes. I seem to have gotten that position. It’s not yet in effect though.” Taking this time to respond, I clarified it just so I could stop the questions that were bound to come.
They’re all curious about it after all. I would surely lose more time if I entertained all of it.
“That’s normal. I also only heard of it today. Looks like you’re going to be busy soon.” Eguchi-sensei remarked with a slight smile. She’s probably thinking that with my position as her and Shio’s Student Assistant, I’d be a very busy guy.
But with or without it, I was already plenty busy. Not just here in school but also outside.
“I think so, yes. But it’s fine. I’ll do my best in that position. Being appointed by the President herself… it’s definitely an honor.”
“Oh. That’s right. The President might look like she’s very amiable but she’s actually difficult to approach. Uhm… That’s not in a bad way though. She’s so graceful and refined that she’s best to be admired at a distance. Good for you to be scouted by her.” One of the second years commented. She even had a dreamy look as she described Shizu.
So that’s how she appeared to the others, huh? It’s actually nice to hear about my girls from other perspectives. Because of my growing bias for them, everything my eyes could see was how wonderful they are.
If that continued, I might miss out on things that I could help them with. I better start listening to rumors and gossip again. Given how they’re also trying to be considerate towards me, they might become like Kana or Mizuki who would always try to solve any problem by themselves.
“Mhm, I really am lucky…” I smilingly agreed while repeating that last part. Little did they know that it had a double meaning.
“Well then, I’ll excuse myself. Please take care of Satsuki for me. And good luck with your training. I’ll be sure to be there to watch all of you.”
Using that chance to excuse myself, I bowed towards Eguchi-sensei and excused myself to the club members before turning to Satsuki.
The girl sent off to the door and when we were out of their sight, kissed me once more. “Good job not flirting with them.”
Receiving that kind of praise made my lips warp into a wry smile. “With my girl next to me, I will not dare do so.”
“Oh? Then if I’m not there you’re going to flirt with them?” The girl’s brows raised once more as her eyes narrowed into a slit.
“You’re the one who said that, not me.” I shrugged but deep in my mind, I snickered from having this chance to tease her again.
As if realizing something, the girl’s interrogative posture changed into an exasperated one.
“You… You will not really let a day pass without teasing me!”
“Great. You caught on quickly. See you later, Satsuki.” I clapped my hands which was then met by her snappy groan. If we were in a private room, the girl would surely convert that annoyance she felt into either kissing me or biting a part of my body.
She trembled a bit before exhaling to calm herself down, “You’re always unfair… Take care, idiot. And thank you…”
With her voice trailing at the end, Satsuki kissed me once more before pushing me out of the room completely.
Well, with this my visit could be said as a success. I got some insight into how close she was now to her seniors and fellow club members and truthfully, they’re all great friends for her. No one was afraid of her now.
Uh. Maybe I also got a little involved because of those opinions I put out during their meeting.
Anyway, as long as they’re good to Satsuki then there’s no reason for me to worry.
When leaving the Gymnasium through the side door, I ran into the Volleyball Club girls who, the same as the Basketball Club, were about to start their training.
Obviously, I got suspicious glares from all of them. Although there’s no rule saying that boys couldn’t be seen in that part of the Gymnasium, it’s a non-written rule that it’s a girl’s territory.
Thankfully, Orimura-sensei was following them, giving me a pass after I explained why I was there – not because of Satsuki but because of the Student Council.
However, Orimura-sensei seemed like she had a bone to pick on me. She issued me a warning to inform her first if ever the Student Council would send me again to observe a club next time.
The other Volley Club girls only looked at what was happening with slight interest except for one. I noticed Sachi's eyes lingered on me with obvious interest.
When I met her gaze, the volleyball girl from Class 2 made a gesture of zipping her mouth. And I was honestly confused by that.
Did she know something? Zipping one’s mouth can also mean keeping a secret, right? What kind of secret does she hold regarding me?
I couldn’t think of anything except that day I pretended as a ghost after having sex with Satsuki in the shower room…
I might be wrong but that’s the only plausible explanation why she seemed so interested in me these days.
Should I wait until she decides to approach me regarding it or should I approach her and confirm what’s really going on?
On my way back to the Club Building, my mind was occupied by that thought. In the end, I failed to decide on what to do.
If it’s about me leaving the shower room after Orimura-sensei, it could be damaging if she talked about it to others. But considering it was already weeks since that incident, it’s probably safe to assume that she wouldn’t talk about it.
If it’s not about that incident then all the more reason not to confront her first…
I better feign ignorance about it and wait for her to approach me.
Either way, if more time passed, the significance of whatever secret she found out about me would also lessen in value – as long as it’s not about my multiple relationships with different girls. And without concrete evidence.
“How long are you going to stand there? Waiting for something?”
Because I was so lost in thoughts, I failed to notice that I had already reached my destination.
Looking up, Izumi-senpai’s blue hair quickly filled my view as she stood before the opened door.
Well, would you look at that? Why was she the one opening the door now? And… she seemed rather normal after what happened earlier… I wonder what happened after I left…
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
