I summoned Prince Hethalle and the flying bird for lunch break.
The place is the Student Council Room. I owe the teacher the key because he wants to work on the student council.
I come to the student council room one foot ahead of the two of us and wait for the two of us for lunch.
Just when I finished my lunch, a flying bird came first.
"Well done for coming."
I greet the flying bird with a smile.
Welcome. Welcome to the Hetero Rehabilitation Commission.
"... what can I do for you, Kagura Tree? I'm busy thinking about my student council election speech."
"Well. I'm so sorry about your busy schedule. If it's a speech, I'll help you think about it."
"... that helps though. So, what can I do for you?
"Please wait a little longer. I'll explain after the other one arrives."
"And one more?
When the flying bird tilted his neck, he came at a good time.
Needless to say, he is the lead actor of the day, Prince Hetale, and Tojo.
"Hi, Kaguraki. It's unusual to call from Mr. Kaguraki, isn't it? Is it time for a typhoon?
"Good afternoon, Tojo-sama. Don't worry, there doesn't seem to be a typhoon."
"Really?"
I relieve myself of the taste of heckling.
That's me. That's great. My disgusting through-skills are soaring.
"Looks like you got it all. Nothing else called the two of you today. We're talking about a school-sponsored party for Christmas."
"Oh, that one"
"But we're still a long way off, right?
"It's sweet, Tojo-sama. Christmas party entries begin after the student council election. There are already a lot of people moving to secure a partner"
School-sponsored Christmas parties are held annually.
Nobody invited me last year, and I didn't want to go, so I didn't, but I have a brother this year, so I want to join him.
We don't do it for Christmas because the Christmas party takes place on the day of the closing ceremony for the second semester, while branding it Christmas. It's a scam in a way.
Many students participate in the search for lovers and networking to also attend the school's OBOG for Christmas parties.
But in order to participate in this party, we need partners.
Students are desperate to find a partner to join.
Other than that, there seems to be an anecdote that many couples are born at this party, so many students want to attend with someone they like.
It's time to see the scene where you squeeze your courage and invite whomever you like to your partner.
"Misaki is very beautiful, has a good personality, is well educated, and is also a trace of the Sanand Mizunase family. It's going to be very competitive."
"... but you joined me last year?
"That's what I'm saying sweet! Because I joined last year, there is no guarantee that I will be okay this year. We should attack guns and appeal now!
"What Kaguraki is saying is true. There are a lot of guys around me who are worried about inviting Aquarius. If you're bluffing, there's a chance you'll get ahead of yourself."
………
Hethale looked hazy at the words of the flying bird.
... that there is no trust in my words. Is that what you mean, you heckling prince?
No, patience. Me. For Misaki's sake, I decided to do my best!
"How did Tojo-sama invite Misaki to last year's party?
"I invited you from Misaki..."
………
………
Me and the flying bird looked at each other and sighed.
He wandered his gaze like a rare hedgehog.
I recognised once again that the heckle was not meant to be overnight.
The roots are deep.
"Is that good, Tojo-sama? You're inviting me from Tojo-sama this year, right? This is Tojo-sama's mission."
"Invite Misaki... ok, I'll try my best"
"Good luck on your own first"
"Okay."
Hethale nodded forcefully, leaving the student council room behind.
"Can you ask me out on my own, that heck..."
"... I guess I can't. You can bet. One dough for those who can't."
"Oh, it's sloppy. I also wanted to bet on those who couldn't. Well, that's fine. Well, I expect hectic hard work and one pudding for those who invite me"
Me and the flying birds laugh at each other face to face.
And I decided to keep thinking about what the flying bird was talking about.
Student Council elections are coming up. The flying bird runs for student chairman there.
We'll be sure to win, but we have to think about the election speech. Thanks for your hard work.
Me and the flying bird have a discussion about the content of the speech, and I manage to only form it.
The flying birds should put the rest together beautifully. Good luck, student chairman.
"Thank you, Kagura Tree. Thanks."
"No, that's as natural as it sounds."
"... by the way, you summoned me today on Tojo's terms, right?
"Yeah, I do, though. Anything else?
"No. I thought you meant Lotus View..."
"Oh...... sorry. You're making the birds pay attention."
"That's not true, I can't say. But, well, never mind. There's no obstacle to my work."
"Thank you"
I warm my chest to the gentle words of a flying bird.
The flying bird said to me with a teasing grin.
"But the student council room with no argument between Kagura Tree and Lotus View is miserable. I don't know what the problem is, but I hope we can make it up to you soon?
"... Yep. I think so too."
I laugh as natural a smile as possible.
Lotus Mei and I had a decent conversation the last day Lotus Mei brought us the cake as promised.
It's been about half a month since then.
It feels like a long time ago.
'It was a treat. It was delicious.'
The cake that Lotus had made for me was so beautiful.
The hall cake with lots of fruit was like a jewelry box packed with lots of gems.
Lotus covered her face with her hands as I thanked her with a little light after accidentally eating up Hall Cake No. 6.
Peeping into his face, Lotus's face was turning bright red.
What would I have done?
As I tilted my neck thinking so, Lotus saw whispered, "That smile is against the rules... it's too cute," so now my face turned bright red.
I miss you so much. It wasn't that long ago.
You can't stay like this.
I know that. But I don't know what to do.
I don't want to disturb you any more.
But in the end, even if you avoid lotus sight, your mind stays disturbed.
If there is any trigger, can it change?
But when is it coming?
How can I be free from this suffering?
I don't know.
Now anyway, I need to do something about that heck of a thing.
I feel like switching heads, slapping on my cheeks.
All right, good luck!
Thus I chose to run away from myself even today.
Later, Prince Hethalle came to report to me and the flying bird, squatting.
"I couldn't..."
Pity. Pity, heck.
And goodbye, my pudding......
The flying bird looked at me and laughed.
"One pudding, right?
"... I know"
And I was supposed to think about my next operation.
