Chapter 41 Part 1

Student Council Again (4) ~This feeling that can’t be contained~

The lesson happened to be at a good part to leave off, so the sixth period class ended a little early.

Thanks to this, Yuu was able to head to the student council office about 10 minutes earlier than usual.

Given things, I wonder if I’m the first one to get here. It sounds fun, so let’s hide nearby and try to scare them; when he tried to grab the doorknob with such childish thoughts in mind, it opened without resistance, which surprised him.

When he opened the door and stepped inside, he found Hanmura Riko, the vice president, sitting there reading a book.

「Oh my? You’re early, aren’t you?」

「Err, the class ended early, so… What about you, Riko-senpai?」

「In my case, we had a self-study session. I finished my assignments early, so I thought I would come here and read some book or something.」

The one in her hand seemed to be a business paperback book.

「Huh?」

As Yuu took a glance at it, he noticed that the author’s name was Komatsu Hanako.

「Komatsu, could it be that the author is…?」

「It’s Sayaka’s great-grandmother. The founder of the Komatsu Group.」

「Oh.」

He saw her dignified and dependable student council president-like side every day, but Sayaka was a little different from the image of a young lady Yuu had in mind.

However, when he thought about it again, she was the daughter of the president of a well-known corporate group that was well-known throughout the world.

Though, from her personality, she would probably deny it, saying that it was her great-grandmother and other predecessors who were great, not herself.

「It seems that that very Sayaka is going to be a little today.」

「Is that so?」

「Yes. From what I heard, it seems that a friend from her class wanted to consult her about something. I mean, Sayaka is relied upon by everyone, after all.」

「Ah~, I know what you mean.」

From the second year, the girls’ classes were divided into liberal arts and science courses.

Yuu had heard that Sayaka, who was in the liberal arts course, and Riko, who was in the science course, were in different classes, but she had probably given her some words about it beforehand.

「But Eimi will probably be here soon. I wonder if I should prepare some tea.」

In addition to her books, she had also spread out her belongings on the long desk, but after quickly putting them away, Riko stood up.

She then passed by in front of Yuu as she headed toward the office kitchenette.

Since joining the student council, Yuu had many chances to talk with Sayaka, of course, and also Eimi, but he didn’t have many chances to talk with Riko alone.

Thinking that he should take advantage of this opportunity, Yuu also followed her.

「If I’m not bothering you, do you mind if we have some talk here?」

「Oh my. I don’t really mind.」

Floating a smile as she glanced back at Yuu, Riko then stood in front of the sink and began to prepare the tea utensils.

For a moment, Yuu ended up getting fascinated by her tall and slender back view, but he hurriedly looked for a topic and opened his mouth.

「Err… As expected, you are going to college after graduation, right, Riko-senpai?」

「Hmm? Well, I guess that would be the case.」

If it’s Riko, who boasts top grades in her year, maybe she can aim for the equivalent of Tokyo University or Waseda University from my former world; so Yuu thought, but he believed that asking for specifics would be stepping too deep into her privacy.

Though, there was also the fact that the names of some of the universities were different from the ones he knew, so it couldn’t really serve as a reference.

「Tentatively, the one I’m aiming for is the national engineering department. Of course, I’m also considering Tokyo University and Tokyo Institute of Technology.」

「Oh, amazing.」

Here, too, there was a senior who was out of the ordinary.

「To the same university as Sayaka-senpai…?」

「Well, I wonder about that. Sayaka also has her own dream, after all. But….」

「But?」

Without even looking at Yuu, Riko hemmed and hawed.

「Ah, I’m sorry. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.」

「No, that’s not it….」

Somehow, she appeared to be embarrassed.

Riko’s profile as she casted her eyes down, combined with her sharp contours, was horrifyingly beautiful.

Partly because she wore glasses and didn’t show much emotion, his first impression of her was that she was a cold person.

However, although she was by no means cheerful, she had this intellectual and inviolable air around her, which was something that attracted Yuu.

Riko, who turned her back to Yuu as opposed to turning toward him, opened her mouth.

「Y, you see… After graduating from college, I want to join the Komatsu Research Institute of Technology.」

「Since it has Komatsu in its name, is it a research institute under Sayaka-senpai’s company?」

「Yes. My dream is to support Sayaka from the technical field, as she will eventually stand in the position to lead the Komatsu Group, after all. So I say, but first of all, I have to study hard, get into a university, and improve myself, or else it will remain just a dream.」

「Riko-senpai!」

「Y, yes?」

「So wonderful! If it’s you, Riko-senpai, given how hard working you are, I’m sure that dream will come true!」

「E… Err. Is, is that so?」

「Yes! I’m very impressed.」

One way or another, in his former world, Yuu himself spent high school days studying for entrance exams like everyone else, slipped into a decent university, and looked for a job while matching those around him.

With no clear sense of purpose, he lived his life as if he was being swept along by those around him, and ended up living a life full of regrets.

I wonder what would have happened if I had had a goal and made an effort like Riko.

There is no guarantee that it would have worked out, but even so, wouldn’t I have ended up with less regrets?

A part of the reason might have been that she loved Sayaka, but Riko, who was properly thinking about her own path, looked so dazzling in his eyes.

Although Yuu was an old man in mental age, he found it nice to see young people talking about their dreams.

Besides, he was also happy that Riko, who he felt had been distancing herself from him a little, had opened up to him about her true feelings.

「U, um… You’re too close.」

Before she knew it, Yuu was already standing right behind Riko.

She was standing in front of the sink, so she had no way to escape.

「Dear me, gifted with both intelligence and beauty, I’m sure that phrase refers to someone like you, Riko-senpai!」

「Wh, what are you saying….」

「Sayaka-senpai, of course, and Amy-senpai are cute, but I think I’m really blessed to be in the student council with someone as beautiful as you, Riko-senpai.」

As he was, he hugged her lightly from behind.

「H, hey.」

Riko’s face turned red, but let alone denying Yuu’s hands, she put hers on top of them instead.

Although she had no interest in boys, there was the fact that they had united their bodies, so it seemed that she was treating Yuu as a special exception.

「Riko-senpai, looking at how lovely you are, I’m already….」

Yuu kissed the nape of her white neck and let his tongue crawl on it.

「Hnn… Fwah… Y, you mustn’t do such things. Someone might come, after all.」

She tried to stop Yuu as he reached for her breast with his right hand, but the movement was weak.

Putting his hand on her breasts, which seemed to boast almost no bulges from over her sailor uniform, he touched them in a gentle caressing manner.

Yuu’s mouth crawled from her nape to her neck, licking it with his tongue and sucking on it.

「Riko-senpai, you have a good smell.」

It was a fresh, soapy scent, but given how close he was sticking to her, it was a scent that aroused his excitement.

「H… hey, nghh…. Y, you sure are one naughty boy, aren’t you, Hirose-kun….」

「Won’t you call me Yuu?」

On the day they had sex, she called him by his given name, but on a regular basis, she ended up going back to calling him by his family name.

Apparently, she was embarrassed.
