A few days after the final exam results were announced...
One afternoon, with less than two weeks until summer vacation, Yu Ishigami visited an empty classroom used by the Disciplinary Committee.
"Excuse me, I've brought the survey forms for our class."
"Yes, the paper is on that desk over there... wait, Ishigami?! W-why are you here..."
"The person in charge had to leave early because they weren't feeling well, so I brought it here instead."
"Hmm, I see..." *glances*
"Is Iino alone?"
"Koba-chan will be here soon."
"Sorry Miko-chan, sorry to have kept you waiting." *clink*
"Hey."
"Huh? What's wrong, Ishigami?"
"I just brought the survey forms."
He answers the Great Buddha's question by fluttering a piece of paper.
"Ah, I see. I'm sorry, I'd like to offer you some tea or something..."
"That's fine, but are you busy?"
"It's more than just busy. The teacher is in a meeting today, and the other disciplinary committee members are out on other business, so it's just me and Koba-chan doing it."
"Seriously, I have to put all these survey results into my computer by the end of today..."
"Shall I help you?"
""picture?""
The two of them widened their eyes at my suggestion.
"Ah... I wonder if I sounded like I was asking for help? I appreciate the offer, but... that would be really bad for Ishigami."
"Y-yes! Besides, it would be an unnecessary burden on Ishigami, who isn't even on the disciplinary committee..."
"But the deadline is today, right? I'm pretty good at this kind of thing, so I think I could be of some help."
"Uh, but that's..."
"...Miko-chan, since Ishigami has gone to such lengths to ask you, let's go ahead and ask him."
"...If Koba-chan says so."
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's get started."
Upon receiving the questionnaire from the Great Buddha, I immediately got to work.
"..." clatter
"..." scratch scratch
"..." clatter
For a short while, the sounds of keyboards being typed and pens being written fill the classroom.
"Hey Koba-chan, this place is..."
"...Okay, it's done."
"picture?"
"What?! You're kidding, right?! There's no way it'll be over that quickly..."
"...Look, Miko-chan, it's all finished."
"No way!?"
It's true. This man, before the time reversal, was an information processing expert who secretly supported the student council of Shuchiin Academy High School! Even the student council president, Miyuki Shirogane, who is praised for his integrity, strength, intelligence, and wisdom...
If Ishigami leaves, the student council's work will fall apart.
He was a man who commanded such immense trust that he could even be described as such. Handling paperwork at the level of a middle school committee was a piece of cake for him.
"...Ishigami's amazing. He really is good at this kind of thing."
"I'm glad I could be of help."
"Hehe, you really saved me. Right, Miko-chan?"
"Ugh, she's easier to read than me... How frustrating!"
"Miko-chan is already..."
"Hey... what are we going to do with these documents now?"
"We're supposed to make copies and take them to the high school student council."
"The high school student council...?"
"What? I wouldn't go that far to make Ishigami do it, would I?"
As Ishigami listens to Iino's words, images of former student council members come to mind.
"Hey Iino, would it be alright if I delivered those finished documents to you?"
It's not guaranteed that we'll be able to meet conveniently. But maybe we will... That thought keeps me going with my words to Iino.
"Huh? Why? I can't let Ishigami go that far..."
"No, I want to do it, please."
"Hmm, it would be helpful if you could do it, but... what do you want to do, Miko?"
"Well... that's fine."
"Okay, I'll bring it over right away. Good work, both of you."
After I finished organizing the documents, I quickly left the classroom.
"That's strange. Why would he go to the trouble of bringing the documents himself when it's not his business...? And there was no need to rush so much..."
"...Miko, are you lonely?"
"Huh? What?! That can't be true!"
"Really? If I'm lucky, maybe we could be alone in the classroom..."
Hey Ishigami, what would you like as a thank you for the other day?
A thank you gift, huh... If it's a thank you gift, this would be nice...
The boy lightly traced the girl's lips and then leaned closer...
"There's no way I'd do something like that! Why am I in a situation where I have to kiss someone as a thank you?!"
"Personally, I think this is a pretty hot situation..." *blushes*
"I don't know your hobbies!"
As I leave the classroom, I unconsciously find myself walking faster and faster...
"..."
(I think the president said he was in the student council as an administrative staff member during his first year... Maybe I'll be able to meet him!)
With a mix of slight anxiety and great anticipation, Ishigami ran towards the high school.
