Chapter 81 Part 1

Sairei Student Council’s Visitation! (2) ~Let’s do our best~

The first thing that began was a strong rejection from the Sairyou side, who were adamant that they could not comply.

Facing it, the Sairei side didn’t yield either.

According to them, it was not right that Sairyou alone got to monopolize the boys just because it was a co-ed school. Since they were sister schools, there should be no harm in re-establishing the exchange events like they used to do and give their students the opportunity to come into contact with boys, too.

From the point of view of the Sairyou side, they were pushing their demand with a self-serving and forceful logic.

The heated argument, or rather fierce exchange continued, but the one that put a damper on it was a single remark from Kate, who had remained quiet the whole time.

「The boy over there, as a boy, what do you think about it?」

With her blue eyes, she directed a stern, cold gaze toward Yuu.

「Hmm~」

As the only boy in this room, Yuu was like the representative of the boys.

With that in mind, Yuu couldn’t help but fall into thought.

All-girls high school, it was a girl’s garden.

As a man with the values of his former world, it was a place that he would love to visit by all means.

However, he knew that he was the only boy in this world who would have such a thought.

The sense of the general boys was different from Yuu’s.

In contrast to girls that were overwhelmingly more numerous than them, boys, the minority, were as timid as herbivores.

「Well, you say inviting boys to your school, but given the current situation, I think there would be little to no boys who would want to go.」

「Huh? I, I mean, you regularly hold boys-girls social events at Sairyou, do you not? In that case, letting them come to our school from time to time should also be….」

「That is only possible because Sairyou has been doing a lot of trial and error for the past 10 years since it became a co-ed school.」

Yuu knew from asking Sayaka and others.

About how the seniors had been thinking and executing the events with consideration for the boys up until now.

He emphasized this point.

「It hasn’t been long since I joined the student council, but I have seen with my own eyes how much attention has been paid not only by the student council, but also by our female seniors and classmates. It is absurd to suddenly want to be close with boys while ignoring the accumulation of such daily experiences.」

「「「Yuu-kun!」」」

Starting with Sayaka, the three members of the Sairyou student council looked at Yuu with sparkling eyes, so he felt self-conscious.

Hearing this, each and every member of the Sairei student council ended up falling silent, but it was Rinne, the student council president, who suddenly stood up with a bam.

「If that’s the case! If we appeal to the boys of Sairyou for the magnificence of art, which is the characteristic of our school!」

There she goes again… The vice presidents and the rest of the members showed a look of exasperation, but surprisingly, it was Yuu who expressed his approval.

「Hmm. That is… Perhaps, it may work.」

「「「「Huh… Huuuuuuh~~~!!!」」」」

Looking closely, even Rinne, the person in question, was taken aback by his response.

「Actually, there are quite a few boys who are interested in the arts and cultural activities, you see.」

What came to Yuu’s mind was Masaya, who had taken piano lessons since he was a child and was now a member of the concert band club.

And Rei, who had an interest in and had taken up flower arrangement and tea ceremony as lessons.

Other than them, a lot of their classmates had also joined cultural clubs after entering high school.

「Unlike our school, Sairei is a school specialized in arts and culture, right? In that case, if you can not only make a good display of that point and arouse their interest but also guarantee their safety, maybe there will a few boys who will think it should be okay to go and take a look.」

「Oh, my! How wonderful!」

Sporting a radiant smile on her face, Rinne suddenly exposed her thighs and climbed over the desk, then dashed over to Yuu and grabbed his hand.

As her long copper-beige hair swayed softly, the scent of floral perfume tickled his nostrils.

「How about it? Boy, care to have dinner at our place tonight?」

「No touching.」

「O, ouch. Sheesh…」

The one who slapped Rinne’s wrist with a sharp sound and forcefully released him from her grasp was Riko.

◇ ◇ ◇

At any rate, as a tentative proposal, if Sairyou won, they would be given certain rights to use the facilities that Sairei had (especially those related to physical education). If Sairei won, they would be given the opportunity to make an appeal and invite the boys to watch their regular summer recital. As for how many of them would actually come, it all depended on their appeal.

They settled with that. The detailed adjustments were to be discussed on a later date.

The next question was what kind of inter-school competition they would be having, and the meeting turned stormy once again.

While the Sairyou side endorsed a match format for athletic clubs, the Sairei side insisted on a presentation format for cultural clubs.

In that case, why not have all the clubs compete? With that, they were about to come to a consensus, but then a question arose as to how they would decide on the winner of the cultural clubs’ presentations.

There, Sairei said that they could just call an expert in that field, but Sairyou was against it, saying that if it was an expert that had a connection with Sairei, there would be a problem with fairness.

Seeing that the discussion remained heated and showed no sign that it would come to a conclusion anytime soon, Yuu pulled his chair back and stood up.

「I will go make some tea.」

As he went around the desk….

「Let me help you.」

Kate, who had not joined the discussion, stood up as well.

「Ah, thank you. It’s this way.」

Kate was unwilling to make eye contact with him, but feeling happy to hear that offer from her, Yuu invited her to the office kitchenette.

「Thank you for earlier.」

「Huh? Aah.」

While they were waiting for the kettle to boil, Kate, who was standing behind him, said in a quiet voice that Yuu could barely hear.

She was probably talking about how he had deceived them using a made up story about his meeting with Kate without mentioning the Red Scorpions.

「Likewise, I couldn’t really tell them the truth either, after all. So we’re in the same boat.」

「Hmph. I guess so.」

「Still… I sure was surprised there. To think you would be in the student council of Sairei.」

When Yuu turned and looked at her, Kate looked away.

「So was I, I had never thought that you’d be in the student council.」

「Hahaha. Well, one thing led to another, you see.」

When the kettle was about to boil, he took the teacups and teapot out of the drawer, but then Kate came next to him and helped him.

「You seem pretty used to it.」

「I’m a first year student, after all. To being with, we don’t have that many people, after all.」

「Hmph. How should I put it, you’re quite the strange one, aren’t you?」

「Yeah, I get that a lot.」

Scratching his head, Yuu looked at Kate standing next to him.

Both of them had blonder hair, but unlike Sera’s near-white color, Kate’s was a gorgeous color that could exactly be referred to as golden blonde.

Her long hair, which reached the middle of her back, appeared to be straight at a glance, but the ends were a little quirky and had a gentle wave to them.
