First of all, I will try my best for the test.”
The first-year girl, the “Pawn” Nimura-san says it to Saji. “Genshirou-senpai. Kaichou said to get “that” document.”
“Ah, that. Roger that Nimura.”
And another girl, the second-year girl “Bishop” Hanakai-san says it to Saji. “Gen-chan. I also have some business from Kaichou.”
“Are you serious Hanakai? Looks like I have lots of things to do…… First of all, let’s do the ones that are easier to finish. Hyoudou, I will be going then. Just relax by talking to the others.”
Saji leaves the room with Hanakai-san and Nimura-san after saying that. I heard from the “Rook” Yura and “Bishop” Kusaka-san that the second year girl, the “Bishop” Hanakai Momo, and the first year girl, the “Pawn” Nimura Ruruko-san are having an intense clash over Saji. Hanakai-san was the girl who was carrying the pack with my blood inside at the Rating Game against the Sitri-group. Nimura-san is the one who got defeated by Koneko-chan. Hanakai-san was originally Kiba’s fan. But apparently she is the type who can distinguish between dream and reality, and she realised that Kiba is someone who she cannot reach so she had her heart taken by Saji who continued to work hard. Nimura-san on other hand has been beside Saji and has been supporting Saji with student-council work and devil related works. Because she’s been right next to him, she apparently fell for Saji who takes everything seriously. Looks like he’s also busy. While I was thinking about my friends love-life while drinking green tea, the “Rook” Yura came up to me with autograph paper. “Hyoudou, can I have your autograph?”
“Okay. But are you sure you want mine?”
“Of course. The battle against Bael. I saw the recorded video and became deeply moved by it. That was the best fist fight ever.”
Yura seems to be my fan. Last time there was a discussion about who the girls types are amongst the devils attending the school of me, Kiba, Gapser and Saji when I talked to Yura and the others. She told me I was her type. She said she likes guys who seem to be covered in mud. Am I muddy…….? Well I always have fist fights so it can’t be helped if I have an impression like that. …..But Yura sure is a bishoujo even though she has really high popularity from girls for having a bishounen face. By the way the “Knight” Meguri-san prefers Gasper. She seems to like younger boys. “Young boys are good.”
Meguri-san says it naturally with a serious face! “I definitely prefer Kiba-kyuun.”
Kusaka-san is a big Kiba-fan like always. Also the Fuku-kaichou Tsubaki-senpai is also Kiba’s fan. In terms of being a fan, Tsubaki-senpai is greater than Kusaka-san. Apparently she fell for Kiba after losing in the game in the Underworld. Is it that love where the person finds out their feelings after they have lost? “Kusaka-san. Do you want me to introduce you to Kiba next time?”
Kusaka-san gets overjoyed at my suggestion. “Really!? But can you introduce Tsubaki-senpai first? She is seriously in love with Kiba-kyuun.”
Ah, is that right. It’s one of those complicated relationships between Senpai and Kouhai. Wait! Why am I being concerned about that good-looking guy! But that guy doesn’t have a girlfriend even though he’s popular amongst girls. That’s why I’m being concerned as his friend. Like this I was opening up to the people from student-council. This is a good thing. It’s a good thing to have connections since we are the few devils who go to the same school. “So Hyoudou-kun is here, I see.”
I heard a familiar voice. When I turned around it was Sona-kaichou. “Ah, I’m pardoning myself.”
“Yes.”
Kaichou answers my greetings with a cool manner. “The guest is here but I want everyone to do an errand for me. Tsubaki is having a hard time against the clubs.”
“Yes!”
Everyone replies to Kaichou’s order. “See you later Hyoudou-kun.”
Saying that, everyone leaves the room. The only ones left are me and Kaichou! ……It’s probably my first time being alone with Kaichou! I’m getting nervous! Then the room suddenly becomes silent. Sona-kaichou sat on her seat and started looking through the documents. “…………..”
I felt like I was in the wrong place so I tried to leave. Then Kaichou spoke. “I heard that you confessed to Rias.”
…….. So you want to talk about that. “Ri…… Did Buchou tell you?”
“Yes. I have been friends with her since we were small. Lately I hear about her love life by communicating through magic-circles.”
Are you serious!? Th-that sure is……..
“Hahaha…… Ummm, yeah…….”
I put on a smile and Kaichou looks at me with a straight stare. “It seems like you can do everything that I couldn’t do.”
“……What do you mean?”
“The engagement, the incident with Raiser. The case with Kiba Yuuto-kun. The case with Gasper-kun. The case with Koneko-san. The case with Akeno……… You made the burden that Rias carries lessen…….. I have been beside Rias longer than you, yet I couldn’t do anything even though I‘m her friend. “Because I’m a High-class devil”. “Because it’s the devils custom”. I couldn’t overcome these obstacles because I was captured by those facts…….. I couldn’t do anything because of the place I stand at and the way people around me will look at me.”
Sona-kaichou has been thinking of Rias in her own way. Of course, since they have been friends since they were small. “You solved them without thinking about those facts. I was very happy about it…….. And I was also very jealous about it. You can solve every problem that I couldn’t. That’s why I want to give you my gratitude. Thank you for saving Rias.”
Kaichou’s cool expression loosens after making a sigh. “Hyoudou-kun….. No. Maybe I should call you Ise-kun at private times. Please take care of Rias. She can be stubborn, and short tempered at times but she’s more delicate than anyone. She needs someone who can support her by her side. That’s why I want to leave this task to you.”
“Yes! Leave Ri……Buchou to me!”
Of course! Rias is very important to me! “You can call Rias by her name when it’s only us two. If you are the person she is in love with, then that makes you my friend as well. Yes, you can also call me Sona.”
“I-I think that’s a bit hard for me……!”
Kaichou made a sigh after hearing me. “……..You receive dissatisfaction from Rias and Akeno about how you speak to them at private times don’t you?”
“Eh!? H-how do you know! ?”
Is Kaichou a psychic!? How did she know? Seeing my reaction, Kaichou makes a small laugh. I thought that this person makes a cute laugh. She’s usually cool so the gap between it makes me fall for it. I see. I can understand why Saji fell for her! “It means gentlemen who can separate the way they talk to ladies are more wonderful.”
“Ha-haaaa……. So it’s like that……….”
Kaichou made a sigh and slipped some words from her mouth. “Maybe I should also get a boyfriend.”
Oh! I just heard a new word! “How about Saji?”
My suggestion. Does he have any chance? Kaichou shook her head. “I would call him my little-brother perhaps.
