How to keep distance from a beautiful girl

"Hmm. Secret?"

"... a secret?"

"Yeah. Secret."

This time, Susami was laughing softly.

Not answering is a splendid answer.That's why sometimes it's better to answer.

However, it is only "suspicion" that arises, not "certainty".And I'm sure Susami knows that.

I didn't want to be convinced, even if I gave him suspicion.

Is it my evil idea to think so? [M]

But I don't think I have the courage or qualifications to pursue it any more.

"... Oki..."

Huh?

Susami interrupted my words trying to change the subject with a bouncing voice.

It was an unusual reaction to this guy, or something I've never seen before.

Hmm, what?

"... yeah. Is something wrong with Oki?"

"No... I was wondering if Oki's going to be the student chairman next."

"Ah, ahh...."

Susami exhales slowly.He looks at me with a smile that is natural, but still slightly unclear.

It's really unusual.

"You're replacing the student council after the summer vacation."

"Yes, until the Cultural Festival, prepare for the election and the handover."

"Speaking of which, is there an election?"

"By the way, if nothing happens, we'll just keep going.Oki is the chairman, and me and Yang Jasmine stay the same, secretary and PR. "

I see.

"Yes, but since the new first-year students are going to be elected, you can vote for them, too.Besides, if the voter turnout is low, the teachers won't make a good impression. "

"Phew, that's a lot of work."

Well, when Susami and Oki are there, most of the problems will be solved quickly.Oh, and Nachi.

But I'm surprised.

What?

"I can't believe you're interested in the student council."

With such words from Susami, I felt my face slightly hot.

You went out of your way to say shameful things...

"Come on, I just heard it once in a while...."

"Oh, that's too bad."

"... just a little..."



"By my standards... I think you're pretty close. Nachi and Oki?"

I think it's still far from being a friend.But I'm sure the next time I see them at school, I'll say hello.Maybe we'll talk a little bit about it.

And that kind of relationship is special enough for me.

Fufu

"Nah, what is it..."

"Nanba, you've changed.Be a good person. "

"... well, thanks to Rihua."

As I said, Susami pulled up her mouth slightly maliciously this time.

Somewhat unusual, I don't think I'm losing consciousness of this guy at all...

"By the way, you didn't mention my name."

"Ugh...."

Exactly where it hurts again...

"Oh, don't you get along with me?I think I've saved you a lot. "

Susami made a stubborn voice and expression and peeked into my face from below.

I don't think you're making fun of me because I'm not hiding my intrigue.

I don't know how far you know, but if you push into it, there's only one thing I can say anymore.

... no, that's enough, today.

"You're... a friend."

"Eh...."

"... I think you're my friend.... for a long time now, on your own. That's why I don't have to tell you right now that I'm close... "

"... fufufu"

Susami laughed suddenly with a soft, spilling voice.

This time, it was a little different from the previous smile, just like a high school girl.

"Nanba, you're so cute. Not as much as Rihua."

"... Shut up."

I'm glad I have to report it to Rihua.

"No, stop it... it's embarrassing."

"That's good, Nanba thought you were my friend. Fufu."

"... you knew that, just like I thought."

"Oh, that's not true.It seems like it's been a lot of trouble to be friends with Rihua. "

"... that's why I'm not like that anymore."

But I'm still embarrassed about this... damn it.

After that, we didn't say anything for a while, and we looked at the room separately.

Someday, the noise generally subsided, and each of the small groups seemed to be relaxing and talking.

There was a figure of Oki at the table.

Naji, who was by my side, noticed me and waved at me.

Oki closed her eyes for a moment and then looked next to me.

"... because I'm a friend."

"Nh"

Susami doesn't look this way.

I kind of looked at the ceiling, too.

"... you can talk to me if you're in trouble."

That being said, I drank all the juice left in the glass at once.

My face gets cold just for a moment.

But soon, the fever returned and I became even more embarrassed.

"... yeah, please."

What kind of face did Susami say that with?

I don't know and I felt like I didn't have to know.

Oh.
