Reiryuu Academy Student Council

13.5 Nanhara and Tojo

In a sinister dark room, the man was facing the computer at his own dedicated desk.

His name is Kenichiro Tojo. Age was 45 last month. He looked youthful for his age, but his wrinkled face more than it used to be revealed his old age, and his fatigue could be seen from the deeply carved neighborhood.

He hasn't had a decent night's sleep in the last two days or so. There was still work left, but he remained drowsy, but he closed his lid.

Concon

The man woke up ha-ha with the sound of a knock on the door. I'll check the time on my watch to see if I've spent quite a bit of time in my sleep, but it hasn't been five minutes yet. He grinned bitterly that he must be too tired to have a nostalgic dream in such a tiny amount of time.

It's still early in the night, but it's late in the night. The secretary also came home at last, with no particular appointments. For example, there was one face in his head.

"Coming in."

Low but soft, with a distinctive voice it turns into certainty. The door opens with a slightly loud noise.

"Long time no see, Nanhara"

Tojo greets his friend across the dark. He and Nanahara Seiji have been friends since middle school.

"Oh, let's turn on the lights?

Don't hesitate to ask. It's unlikely that the house will be dark in the Nanhara family, so I guess this darkness is a little uncomfortable for Heavy Ji.

The light suddenly imparted to the eyes that could be darkened was highly irritating, and Tojo narrowed his eyes.

"Sounds like a tough job, huh?

"Naturally. Who do you think I am?

When Tojo laughed invincibly, Shigeji sighed, "You're the same."

"So, the fact that you're coming here... did something happen to that kid?

Tojo becomes a serious face. That suggests getting down to business. Seiji took a breath and opened his mouth.

"That kid went into the student council"

"... of Li Long, huh?

When Tojo asked, Shigeji nodded. Heard from Shigeji that "That Kid" was admitted to Lilong School. When it comes to Lilong School, the Student Council is the nation's top elite group. I know it's a surprise, but somehow I'm convinced. 'Cause that's all she's got, no more power.

"I've been worried a lot about being in the student council for one thing. That kid had a lot going on in elementary and secondary school, and given our family's position, dude... And most importantly, I must have cared about you."

Seiji sat on a black leather sofa in the center of the room.

"You just have to do whatever that kid wants. You don't care about me. That's why I brought her to you..."

"I know. But I'm sure she wants to hear it right from your mouth."

Neither of us opened our mouths for a while. I guess the reason the silence was not awkward was because the two of us couldn't care less.

"Well, I've already reported it, and I'm going home."

"Nanwon"

Tojo called for Heavy Governance toward the door. There was so much I wanted to talk to a friend I had seen a long time ago. But in my organized head, there was one thing Tojo still wanted to tell Heiji.

"... asked for a bud grenade"

"... oops"

Seiji laughed and disappeared across the door.

Once again, Tojo will be alone. However, if it is not the same as earlier, it means that the lights are on.

"I'm sorry..."

Tojo was whining even though it didn't reach anyone. How did the faceless girl in the dream I just had come to laugh?

That she was happy, the only thing that was his wish.
