Finally the day has come.

From the preparation to the present, how long has it been in the middle, and how many troubles have been encountered, I always feel that when it comes to today, I can't feel the sense of reality.

It's like it's gone by in the blink of an eye.

Now in the class meeting time of each classroom, it is the student council election that is being voted.

And for me, all I had to do was to find the name of Tomoyo from a bunch of names on the voting paper and circle it,

Dropping the ballot paper into the box, I returned to my seat.

For ordinary people like me, the rest is waiting for the results to be announced.

Watching Apricot hand over the box to Ishikawa, I let out a long breath.

… There should be no problem, right?

Although the performance in the match with the tennis club was very good, and I dare to say that the results achieved far exceeded the expected imagination, the popularity and support rate of Zhidai through that battle have increased a lot.

However, what is disturbing is that due to time constraints, less than half of all the clubs have challenged, so it would be great if you tried it with all the clubs.

Moving my gaze to the blue sky, I prayed silently.

"Yo."

After lunch, I was wandering around the campus to pass the time when I met someone unexpected.

"It's strange that you're here."

Looking at her curiously, I waved hello to her.

"It's senior," Usami unabashedly showed a look of "the troublesome guy has appeared", "It's not class time, it's normal for me to show up somewhere." ”

Rather than you answering my question, I wish Miss Rabbit would hide that straightforward expression a little.

"But it's a senior, aren't you with everyone in the drama department?"

"Wait for the past, and now it's time to pass the time."

At the push of a button, I took the Coke I had just bought from the dispenser.

"Senior, I want orange juice."

"Did I say I wanted a treat?"

This guy's cheekiness is sometimes really unbearable.

Tomorrow I stay with Zhidai every day, but I hope she can learn a little bit.

"It's so stingy, senior, you're not going to be popular like this."

"I don't care if I'm unpopular."

"Senior, really, at this time, a man should say, "Oh, isn't this Kanako? You're welcome to let me treat you to juice! You can say that even the most expensive oversized cartons of milk cocoa are okay!" ”

“… Do you want to hear me say that? ”

Stopping to drink Coke, I stared at her intently.

"Sorry! I didn't say anything! ”

This rabbit can apologize at such a time.

But she immediately pouted like a child and said:

"But what's the matter, it's rare to invite me to drink once, how about it?"

Damn it! Only at this time, this guy just pretends to be cute and tilts his head!

With a sigh, I took out the change and put it in the vending machine.

Of course, I didn't invite this guy once because I thought he was cute, just to show the senior's bearing!

"Here, here you go."

"Wow! Lucky！ ”

"Shouldn't you say Lucky at this time, but thank you, right?"

"Yes, yes, thank you, little old man, senior."

"You're not thankful at all, are you?"

"If you pick out the words like that, the opinion you could have earned will be cleared," Usami smiled at me, inserting the straw into the box of juice she had taken out, "but thank you, Senior." ”

"Speaking of which, why aren't you with Tomoyo?"

"The student council has called out all the candidates who participated, so now we should all stay together and wait for the results."

With his hands spread, Usami shrugged "That's it".

In other words, you can't help the past if you want to.

"By the way, counting the votes, aren't you staying there?"

"That, that, there are seniors and the members of the Discipline Commission who are supervising, no problem."

Clasped her hands, Usami rarely showed embarrassment on her face.

Looking at her like this, an idea popped me up.

"Can't you stand it!"

"Senior, what cute words are you talking about?"

With a big smile, Usami poked me in the face unceremoniously.

"I said you're not tight, it's painful!"

It's so unreasonable that you're asking me what I'm talking about, so I'm kind enough to repeat it.

Rubbing my cheeks, which had been poked red, I muttered discontentedly.

"Bohi Pohi!"

A small hairball rubbed at my feet.

"Peony!" At a glance, I recognized that this little furball was the little baby of the class leader———— little wild boar peony, and I shouted out in surprise.

So, did you secretly come to the school to look for apricots again?

"Oops, that's cute!" Usami squatted down with bright eyes, and her eyes locked on Peony, "Is this the little wild boar raised by Senior Sister Xing?" ”

"You know?!"

"It's strange to say that I don't know, this little guy is about to become one of the top ten incredible things in the school, although it's the first time I've seen the body."

Top 10 Incredible? Is this little guy about to become a palace-level big man?!

"Even if the senior invited a guest, and saw the little wild boar, Jiacaizi was very satisfied!"

Standing up and patting her skirt, Usami waved at me.

"Then senior, I'll take my leave first."

"Oh."

It's a miracle that he left so quickly.

But right away, I knew why she was so cheerful.

"You guy~ actually kidnapped my child!"

"Woo!"

With a gust of wind pressure, I dodged the dictionary by millimeter margin.

"You are! It's dangerous, okay! ”

You must know that the people who can resist your dictionary attack are only Haruhin except Haruhara!

No wonder Usami left, that guy must have guessed that Apricot was looking for Peony and ran away before getting into trouble!

"Don't worry, I have the power to weigh the strength, I can't die."

Meaning, is it okay to fight half to death?

"And this is Peony who came to me by himself, you should be careful not to let it get lost."

"My child doesn't get lost like a road idiot, but he can find his own home!"

This guy actually carried out a personal attack.

And what are you proud of, are you a stupid parent who dotes on your children?!

"Bohi! Bohi! ”

As if to affirm the words of the apricot, Peony shouted in response and happily walked around with her little hooves.

Damn, you little boar doesn't know that you should shut up at this time? I don't look at the atmosphere at all!

"Oh~ It seems that Peony thinks so too."

"It's not the same as its owner, it's just a matter of being happy with the praise."

"Well, it's not bad for you to comfort yourself like this," showing a fiery smile, Xing squatted down and opened his hands, "Peony, come~ Sister hug!" ”

But...

"Boshi~Boshi~"

The peony was still rubbing at my feet.

"Peony seems to like you very much."

"Well~ I'm very confident in being popular with small animals."

Looking at Xing's unwilling expression, I wiped my nose.

I'm very proud to be able to win back a city.

"Oh~ It would be nice if it could be as popular as girls."

"Well, these are two cases."

It's so cunning to actually bring this up.

But I'm a big-hearted person, and I don't care about the wail of your defeat.

To hide my embarrassment, I squatted down and touched Peony's smooth back.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Peony."

"Puff~"

…

… What just happened?

"Apricot," I stopped what I was doing, and I turned my head to look at her with a serious face, "Peony farted just now?" ”

"You guy, do you want to slander the image of Peony?"

"Could it be making other sounds?"

"You," Pushing her forehead, Xing sighed, "Do you think that Peony will only scream in Bohipohi?" ”

"Huh?!"

Honestly, I really think so.

"Seeing you put on this "Isn't it" expression, I really want to give you a dictionary on your face."

"No, no, no, forget that."

Picking up the peony and standing up, I rubbed the small meat ball in my arms.

"I always feel that the peony seems to have lost a little weight."

Especially in terms of feel, it's not as meaty as before.

"Bohi?"

"That...", scratching his cheek, Xing looked to the side with a dry smile, "What do you say?" The kid accidentally ate a bento made from starlings a few days ago. ”

"Is there a little wild boar that eats food that is hard to digest?"

"Uh... That's pretty much it. ”

In this case, there is no way, after all, not all the things that humans eat are suitable for small animals, and it is estimated that they cause indigestion after stealing them.

Although I don't mind why Apricot keeps avoiding my gaze.

"Don't eat indiscriminately in the future," returned it to the apricot embrace, "but it's a good thing to recover." ”

"yes, that's why this kid came to me as soon as he got the energy."

"Boshi~Boshi~"

Like a doting mother, Apricot stroked the peony with a doting face.

"By the way, how are your hands?"

"It's not a big deal, I'll be fine after changing the medicine a few times."

"This is the so-called stupid blessing."

"Are you complimenting me?"

"Well~ sort of."

It's okay, it's really a shame that you don't deny it.

———————————————— dividing line——————————————

In the afternoon, the results came in.

The notice posted on the bulletin board reads clearly in red type:

"Student President: Tomoyo Sakagami"

"Yo Xi!"

As soon as I saw the result, I clenched my fists excitedly and gestured to victory.

"Izumi is so good, Zhidai she won!"

Okazaki on the side shouted excitedly.

"Awesome, awesome..."

And Chun Yuan half opened his mouth, and the whole person was stunned.

"Really... That's great. ”

Closing my eyes, I sighed from the bottom of my heart.

"Hahaha~ I knew that Zhidai would definitely succeed!"

Okazaki, on the other hand, let out a laugh that didn't fit his image at all, and put his hand on my shoulder and cheered happily like a child.

"yes, why don't you talk in Haruhara?"

"Although I have thought about it, that guy is really powerful," half-sounded, Haruhara finally came back to his senses, clasped his hands and closed his eyes and nodded, "He is worthy of being my fierce rival!" ”

No, no, no, that's what you unilaterally consider to be an opponent, right? Tomoyo didn't think so.

"But either way, it's great."

Looking at the words on the announcement, I smiled heartily.
