Masho no Otoko wo Mezashimasu

"What's the matter, silver? I've been touching your phone for a while... did you get any sudden contact?

"No, it's nothing. I was just getting a call from a friend."

"Friends?"

"Yeah, but don't worry, it's not a hurry requirement."

I see.

We Kiyoaki Boys' High School student council members finished a meeting for the joint cultural festival with Kiyoaki High School and drank tea at an affordable coffee shop to take a temporary break.

I feel the gaze from other customers, but if I can't help it, I'll cut it off.

Because Kiyoaki Boys High School is precisely one of the boys who has been chosen and has a handful of boys enrolled. It would be helpless for the eyes to go away from the women of the world. I used to be irritated with this kind of gaze, but now I know that there are more irritating things in the world, and now I can also share my impudent gaze like a breeze.

My cousin's girl said, "Young, you've become kind," but I decomposed her, saying, "I'll be kind for a long time."

"Hmm... it needs to be studied..."

The student chairman, Silver, looked at his smartphone for a while, but when he murmured, it fell into his pocket.

"So, Chairman, what are you going to do?

"What happened? Please clarify your questions, Kanda."

"It's nothing! It's a cultural festival! Culture Festival! If the traditional Qingming Boys High School Culture Festival stays like this, it will be destroyed!

Kanda eats silver, but silver doesn't care about it at all. Slowly sip a cup of coffee and return the answer to Kanda's words as you teach.

"It won't break anything else. Exhibits dominate our cultural festivals."

"It will take time to make it! On top of that, it's too much of a burden for students to make things like high school."

"No, that'll be fine. Unfortunately, the Qingming Cultural Festival has become too carved up. Even if it is an exhibit of a cultural festival, it has been announced that it will not change in the last decade or so.

Silver is right. The word "tradition" sounds good, but after all, nothing has changed. The exhibition of the cultural festival is more prominent, and it is repeated in the same theme as "History of Kiyoaki Boys' High School" in one year, "Introduction to the Excellence of Graduates" in two years, and "Postgraduate Outlook" in three years.

... I see, I didn't care before, but if I think about it carefully, there is no progress. It is also important to preserve tradition, but I am not protecting it when it comes to this, I am just stagnating.

"In fact, we have a long lead time for cultural festivals, but most classes are ready before they use all of them. I also left a lot of deadlines....."

"Kh...."

"Besides, the scale of the cultural festival at Fungo High School is unusual. You will gain a lot of experience by participating in it. And that experience should help us. I want you juniors to grow up big through that experience."

Silver put his hand on Kanda's shoulder and smiled.

"Ah, Chairman...."

"Kanda, you're going to help me as an assistant, right?

"Okay, I'll help you... Isn't that natural? I'm the chairman's assistant....."

Kanda said that Pui slightly diverted his face from silver. I don't think he's the one who was so fiercely opposed.

I was impressed by the grasp of silver. Again, this man is amazing.

Silver convinced Kanda to look calm as if she had taken possession, and now she's talking to her classmate Tamachi. When I looked at silver, I found that it was either a response to the call earlier or I touched my smartphone, but it seems that it was finished soon.

"You seem convinced."

"Ah, the roots are honest. I knew you'd understand if you told me."

The expression had a warm smile on it.

"... silver"

"What's the matter?

"I'm sorry...."

"What are you talking about?

I apologized for being late. But Silver didn't seem to think of an apology for what.

"The defeat of the Boy King... I couldn't afford to lose as the representative of Kiyoaki Boys High School.... but as a result I was defeated. It's like mud on the name of Kiyoaki."

"... hmm"

"If it's true, it's not crazy to be beaten up."

Hibiya, you're mistaken.

"... mistake?

"You made a proud score in a tournament of that size. That is something to be praised, not reprimanded. It's a shame we didn't make it to the top, but that doesn't diminish the value of clarity. The important thing is to do your best to get to the top. If you still can't take the top....."

"What if...?

"It's just that they were amazing. We have to revenge the next time we do it."

The words lightened my heart. I was going to take responsibility for my defeat, but that was the result of doing everything I could. I was a little happy to be admitted to it.

"I see....."

"Oh yeah...."

We drank coffee laughing. What would have happened if silver had been in that battle?

I asked Silver out of that interest.

Silver, if you were me, how'd that fight go?

"Hmm? Well, Hibiya and I have different perceptions of Kushino-kun as a premise... Did Hibiya think he was the biggest obstacle?

I nodded honestly at the words. Sure, there were other people to watch out for, but I didn't think he'd be the most alarmed.

"So you were still working to get rid of him first. Know where all participants are first, and then pair up with at least two pairs. Afterwards, I will attack the territory of Kushino-kun with a quick attack. At this point, he is as good as winning. Even if his people are so big, they're running out of hands."

……

"No matter how much tactics or manoeuvres you take down before you do it, there's no problem. Except for the biggest obstacle, then digestion."

"... * giggle *"

"What's the matter?

"No, nothing."

I just thought you were amazing. I never thought of working with the rest of them in that fight. I'm not done yet.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

The phone rings.

I got a message from Chairman Silver.

"I'm worried that the first year is too sloppy to be deceived by a bad woman."

I thought about it a little and gave it back.

Well, isn't that a good experience?
