However, now that he saw her up close like this, he wound up being overwhelmed by her extraordinary appearance.
During the teenage period, the difference of two years in age was significant.
Even though Yuu should be over 40 years old inside, he could not resist the charm exuding from her entire body and remained staring at her for a while without uttering even a single word.
Perhaps having a misunderstanding in which she thought Yuu was nervous, she floated a gentle smile.
If this were a manga, without a doubt, there would have been flowers blooming in the background. Yuu vaguely thought that white flowers, such as lilies or dogwoods, or perhaps pink flowers would suit her.
At the same time, although it was a man's selfish ideal, he thought that a classic black sailor uniform would suit her better than a light purple one.
「I am Komatsu Sayaka, a third year and the student council president. Nice to meet you.」
「Ah… Yes, it's a pleasure… to meet you.」
「Huh? Is Rico-senpai not back yet?」
「Yes, I believe she should be back soon, though.」
When the two were talking, Yuu could hear footsteps rushing over from behind.
「Oh, my? I wonder if I arrived just in time?」
When he turned around, he saw a girl with glasses coming in, out of breath.
Perhaps having gone to buy something, she was holding a plastic bag in her hand.
From the looks of it, the student council president was about the same height as Yuu, while the senior who just came in was slightly taller. Which meant, she was probably in the low 170s.
Sporting a slender figure, she was an earnest-looking person with silver-rimmed glasses that looked good on her slender face.
Her slightly quirky hair was tied together around the base of her neck, hanging down in front of her shoulder.
「I don't think it is a good idea to talk while standing, so why don't we sit down and talk over some food?」
「Yes~. I'm hungry!」
Following the words of the student council president, they all sat down on the chairs.
Now that she mentioned it, Yuu, too, had an empty stomach.
What the senior who came later took out of the bag and laid out on the desk were sandwiches and sweet breads from the school canteen, along with some drinks in paper cartons.
She said that there was some for Yuu as well, so he decided to gratefully accept it.
The three seniors were sitting in a row across the long desk from Yuu.
Somehow, it feels as if I'm having an interview; so he thought.
「I have already introduced myself, so I guess we will start with the vice president.」
Holding a sandwich with both hands in a well-mannered manner, she passed the baton to the bespectacled senior on her right.
The bespectacled senior, who was about to take a bite into a cream-filled roll she had taken out of the bag, reacted with a jerk and put it back. With a slightly regretful look in her eyes, she opened her mouth.
At first she gave off intelligent impression, but Yuu found that gesture of hers adorable.
「I am Hanmura Riko, vice president of the student council. I am a third-year, just like the president. Nice to meet you.」
「Yes. It's a pleasure to meet you.」
As expected, Yuu was able to calmly respond this time.
「I'm Ishikawa Eimi, the secretary-cum-treasurer of the student council, and I'm a second year. Please call me Amy!」
She shook her twin-tail hair as she made a peace sign.
Taking another look at her, she was a cute girl with round eyes that somehow or another gave her the impression of a squirrel.
「Err, I am Hirose Yuu, a first year. After receiving a word from Ishikawa-senpai, I have come to intrude upon you today.」
「Yes. You did well to come. My gratitude.」
「Fufufu, not only are you as good looking as you are rumored to be, you seem to have a good personality, too, huh.」
「S, such a thing is… Err, a rumor… was it?」
Sayaka and Riko let out a giggle.
「Yeah, word has already gotten around that an amazingly handsome first-year has enrolled at the school.」
「Everyone says that when they meet him up close, he smiles and waves back instead of ignoring them.」
「On top of that, the fact that yesterday, he came to the gymnasium to observe the club activity of the basketball club and even participated in a mini game has become a talk in the sports clubs.」
「Ah, that's… Yesterday, I got a little too carried away, so….」
For Yuu, who felt like he was being dragged around by the body rather than the mind after being reborn as a teenager, that was an incident that made him feel itchy.
After finishing the bread while engaging in a peaceful idle talk in such a manner, they faced each other again.
「Err, what is the nature of me being called here today?」
「Hmm. Let me see.」
Exchanging glances with each other, the three did not open their mouths immediately.
Eventually, Sayaka, who was sitting in the middle, turned straight toward Yuu, leaned forward and said.
「Let me go straight to the point. Hirose-kun. What do you say about joining the student council?」
「Huh?」
S..so close!
The color of her eyes that were staring straight at Yuu was infinitely close to black, just like her hair, and he was assailed with a sensation as if he was going to be sucked into her perfectly round, jet-black eyes.
「Prez, it is so sudden that he has frozen up.」
「Saaya-senpai, he's a boy, so I don't think he understand what you just said….」
「Hmm. I see.」
During his middle school and high school days, Yuu had no connection with the student council, so when it came to the student council, he only had a general image of it.
On top of that, boys in this world did not engage in many extracurricular activities, so even if he was told student council, it did not ring a bell.
「I see! My apologies. First of all, I would like to give you an overview of the student council, but are you fine with it?」
「Yes, please.」
