「Hirose-kun, are you going to the student council office again today?」
When Yuu was getting ready to leave after the last class on Wednesday was over, Rei, who was sitting in front of him, spoke to him.
「Yeah, that's right.」
When Yuu replied as such, Masaya, who was sitting to his left, also spoke to him.
「Do you have student meetings every day?」
「That's not really the case, but you see… I joined the student council in the middle of their term, after all. Moreover, it's a good opportunity to learn about the school, so I'm thinking about learning a lot of things from the Senpais.」
「Wow, you sure are enthusiastic about it, huh.」
「Don't you find it scary to be surrounded by seniors?」
「No, not at all. It's exactly because they're kind seniors that I decided to join the student council.」
Masaya seemed to have decided to join the concert band, while Rei seemed to be still undecided.
「And here I thought we would be able to go home together….」
「Ugh… Umm, my bad.」
Yuu and Rei, who lived in the same condominium, were supposed to take the same course of the shuttle bus.
Rei, who had just moved in before entering high school, seemed to be happy to find out that they were in the same high school, and one way or another, he had gotten attached to him since day one.
However, even for the promised club activities observation, Yuu could only accompany him for a while.
As such, when the girly Rei made a look like an abandoned puppy, Yuu wound up being seized by a sense of guilt.
「I have regular meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays, but I think we can go home together tomorrow, okay?」
「I see! Got it. Then, I'll see you tomorrow.」
「I'm going to visit my club, too. See you.」
「Yeah, see you tomorrow, Yamada!」
After leaving the classroom and saying goodbye at the entrance, Yuu headed straight for the boarding house.
There were few people around these parts, even after school.
Most of the time, they were girls heading to the bicycle parking lot.
On the benches dotted around the area, he could see second- or third-years couples, or perhaps combinations of one boy surrounded by two girls, but for some reason, the current Yuu did not feel envious toward them.
He felt his tension rising as he climbed the stairs of the boarding house.
In addition to Tuesdays and Fridays, he had heard that the president came to the student council office almost every day, but would she really be there?
If she wasn't, he would surely be disappointed.
Was she there, or was she not?
When Yuu knocked on the door, his heart racing and his hands trembling with nervousness, a moment later, he heard Sayaka's calm voice saying, 「It is open」, and a smile naturally appeared on his face.
「Oh, my? I never expected you would come today, too.」
「Ahaha. I thought I'd like to talk to you if you were here, Prez. Am I bothering you?」
「No, you are not bothering me at all. Rather, I am glad you came.」
Even if it was just a lip service, it made Yuu happy when she said so with a smile on her face.
「What are you doing here?」
Sayaka was sitting in her usual seat and seemed to be opening and looking at a thick file.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other members were not present, Yuu casually sat next to her.
「Ah, this is, you see… I was rereading the student council's activity records since our school became co-ed. I had looked through it before, but after what you told me yesterday, Hirose-kun, I was wondering if there was anything that would be helpful if I looked at it again from a male perspective.」
「Wow. You sure are enthusiastic about it, aren't you?」
It was fair to say that most girls who entered co-ed schools aimed to meet and bond with boys.
The exception would probably be those in the PE department and those who were zealous about studying, which was a student's main duty. Incidentally, Riko seemed to fall into the latter category.
Not only was Sayaka excellent in her studies, she was also taking on the student council activities earnestly, which made Yuu respect her as a senior.
「May I look at it with you?」
「Yes, I do not mind.」
Yuu moved his chair closer to a position where his body was just barely not touching hers.
When he took a look at the page held down by her ice-like beautiful fingertips, it read 『Shoka 3, Sairyou Academy Student Council Activity Report』.
He was still not accustomed to the imperial era, which was neither the Showa nor the Heisei era.
This year should be Shoka 13, so that meant it was a record from ten years ago, 1980.
「I believe, this was the fifth year since the school became co-ed, right?」
「Yes, it was. Until that time, you could see that they were going through a lot of trial and error. And as a lot of problem occurred, it seemed that they were having a hard time.」
