Classroom Of The Elite Year 2 Volume 9

Part 4

The next day after the new Student Council members were gathered and the study sessions for the Special Test began.

Horikita was quickly called by Nagumo after school, and seemed to be heading to the Student Council room. I thought she wouldn't call on me again, but-

"He said that you should come with me too."

She displayed a message from Nagumo and came over to tell me as she pointed the screen at me.

"My stomach feels as upset as it did yesterday, let me pass on that."

"It can't be helped, then. He'll just call you again tomorrow if you can't come today, though?"

"Let's just meet him and get it over with."

I don't want to be forced to do something troublesome again after some time passes.

I immediately got up and showed my intention to go to the Student Council room, but I was stopped.

"I'll bring Kushida-san here. Wait a bit."

It seems that he means to meet all the new members at once. I looked around for Kushida in the classroom, but... She was already nowhere to be seen.

"It looks like she went ahead."

I lined up shoulder to shoulder with an exasperated Horikita and left the classroom.

"So she didn't want to go with you?"

"We're going to spend a lot more time when the Student Council work starts, whether she likes it or not."

Well, that must be why she didn't even want to spend one more second than she has to with Horikita in an unrelated area.

"It's quite the nuisance to be randomly resented by someone while continuously being connected with them somehow."

"I don't know what would have happened if you were a little more gentle-mannered as a person."

"It could have been worse, right? It's dangerous to keep letting her take the lead."

She needs to hold the reins and control her to some degree, that's certainly true.

When I arrived at the Student Council room, Kushida and Nanase were waiting side by side in the distance.

Whether or not these two knew each other or not, they seemed to be chatting and getting along well.

"They're having a good time."

"They really are."

Taking a look at the two, they don't seem like they'll ever stop talking.

They seem to be in a peaceful mood, constantly smiling.

They would keep chatting forever if kept alone.

"It looks like the Student Council can get along just fine without you, Horikita. I'm sure those two will be well received by the public too."

"Shut up. Let's just go in."

Horikita quickly approached them to prevent them from getting even more excited.

"Hi there, Horikita-senpai."

Kushida smiled without concealment as Nanase politely greeted Horikita.

"I was a bit relieved when I heard that Nanase-san was joining the Student Council too. I've been very nervous about all this."

Kushida said something unexpected and made a gesture of patting her chest.

The three members of the Student Council entered the room first.
