Side Heroine

Chapter 55: Childhood Friend.

For lunch, I dragged Yoko out of the club room, and we ate in the student council room. If we did something like eat in the art room, Aoi would definitely stick to me like a dog.

We don't have work to do, but it's useful to be able to use the student council room. With the exception of people involved in the council nobody comes close, and the teacher doesn't come during their time of long vacation.

For that reason Yoko and the president like to use the meeting room as a rendevor.

"What happened when I was gone. . ."

I grumbled about my problems half to myself half to her as Yoko chomped down on her yakisoba bread. She realized I didn't know the details, so with a worried face she began to explain it step by step.

"During July Shiroi didn't come to the club at all, right? During summer vacation you are free to use the club room for club activities, but it's okay not to come."

"That's right. However it seems that Shimamoto-san made a ruckus about me not coming."

"Yeah, yeah. She knew that you didn't finish your painting for the school festival, so she thought you would come eventually, but she'd spill it to her seniors often. Almost everyday."

"Everyday!?!!"

What was she doing when I was living my happy yuri life at home? This heroine! Everyday would usually be scary.

"However, I think all the seniors think that Shimamoto-chan loves you like a junior loves their Senpai. They may not believe there are any romantic feelings."

". . . With that attitude? No way."

"Well who else is the school's favorite Senpai? Honestly you are very popular with the freshmen."

"What? I've never heard anything about that. . ."

That's unfortunate, if I would have noticed I was being treated as longed for Onee-sama I would have changed my behavior.

The image I'd picture in a light novel cover with wind blowing as chaotic characters on the cover fly close to them. Actually, I wish I didn't know this.

"Well you have high specs. Good face, good style, good grades, athletic besides in sports. You are a useless romantic, but the juniors don't know that."

"Don't call me useless. I'm just not used to it."

"You are also innocent, and that's also a gap moe! That's why all the seniors think that Shimamoto-chan is just approaching you as a cute junior who wants to get closer to her longed for Senpai. They are just having fun cheering her on."

Yoko's guess is probably right, if they knew she was romantically interested they wouldn't support her so openly. Seniors wouldn't be that insensitive.

However this is still troublesome. I'd like it if they would stop egging on Aoi, but what can be done?

"Shimamoto-chan is also a good girl, but there could be trouble if those feelings turn into more than senior and junior."

"Well, she is a good child, so that makes this even more difficult to handle."

If handled poorly I would be made the bad guy. So I must do my best to be careful and keep my distance as much as possible.
