As if a cat being drenched in cold water, Watanabe trembled in surprise that she reflexively went behind her man to hide from Shizus somewhat cold gaze.

The Secretary also choked with his words that all the two could do was huddle together in that corner where they were sitting.

Seeing that reaction from them, Shizus expression didnt change. She still had a straight face as she nonchalantly continued to enter the room and straight to her seat which I had just finished sorting.

When our eyes met each other, Shizu curtly nodded at me before taking a seat.

Still no reaction.

Well, this was normal. The girl still had to put on her mask in front of the other members of the Student Council.

Although shes already changing for the better, shes only comfortable taking her mask off in front of me or Nami.

Ah. Lets not think too deeply about this. Once the other members leave the room after their meeting, thats when I will have my chance to talk to her. For now, I just have to do my job.

Amidst the deafening silence, the sound of the boiling tea suddenly filled our ears, followed by its sweet and fragrant aroma.

When Shizu noticed that, she raised her head that was trying to become busy with a short stack of papers I had organized.

Shifting her gaze from me to the boiling tea, one of her eyebrows lightly moved. A simple gesture from her which was equivalent to telling me to bring her tea.

But then, before I could acquiesce to her request, I heard the scared couple release a sigh before the sounds of them hurrying up to stand from their seats. Following that, the Secretary discreetly whispered to Watanabe.

A few moments later, the girl walked to and stood in front of Shizus table and bowed her head in apology.

Following her, the Secretary also bowed in apology which Shizu answered with a wave of her hand, brushing off the words she heard from Watanabe as a bygone.

Shes the type who didnt want to mull over something that wasnt really important. Shes aware that most of those who were working with her see her as the upright Shizu who wouldnt bend before anyone else.

Hell, even those considered her friends didnt know whats hiding beneath her strong and scary persona.

Thats why my discovery of it mustve been seen as also special by her.

Perhaps, thats one of the factors why she ended up falling for me

Nonetheless, that still wouldnt change her desire to have a normal relationship with me.

Watching all those happenings with a smile, I went to the boiling tea and began filling cups not only for Shizu but also for the two or three if that Vice President would arrive today.

When I handed them their cups, the couple also whispered their apology to me. Though I doubt they would drop their suspicion, at least they knew how to apologize to Shizu. I could take it if someone was rude to me, its not like I would be hurt by it but if its for the girls I deemed important to me then thats where we would have a problem.

Telling them to review the tea after drinking it, I then moved back to Shizus side.

Its Minas tea and I promised to help her improve her recipe. Gathering the review of other people about it could be said as something close to that.

This isnt our tea.

After taking a sip, Shizu murmured with a volume loud enough for me to catch. She put the cup back on the table. Following that, she slowly turned her head to me, her questioning eyes waiting for an answer.

Well, the tea they have in stock here was something Shizu bought at a specialized tea shop. Shes already used to its taste so tasting another kind of tea, shes now wondering where I got it or if I brewed it myself.

Its from someone whos asking me to taste their tea. Dont worry, shes kind of an expert when it comes to it so theres no defect for that. I answered honestly.

It was unnecessary to tell that its from one of my targets but for Shizu, she could easily deduce that fact.

Despite her straight face, I noticed how her lips slightly twitched upon hearing my answer.

Turning her head back to the front, Shizu resumed sipping her tea.

She didnt want to comment on it but it was definitely just as I had guessed. When it comes to me, shes now aware that most of the time, anything new that she could see in my person was from one of my girls.

Theres no one to blame for that but me

In any case, seeing that she still had that kind of reaction what I feared didnt happen. Shes still my Shizu.

Ah. No. Shes not mine yet

Until I resolved her mindset of wanting me all to herself, she wouldnt be one of my girls.

After a while, Shizu and the other two began working. Shizu passed some of the papers for them to look at and check.

The meeting probably wouldnt start yet because that dog still hadnt arrived.

Thats why when they began focusing on their work and it didnt seem like I was needed by Shizu, I moved back to the teapot and got myself a cup.

Since Mina specifically prepared this for me, I wouldnt miss out on tasting it. And as I expected, she took in my mind what I said and improved the recipe once again.

I was partly making my descriptions up when I reviewed the tea yesterday but with how much she improved during the past few days, she probably could already discern what I wanted to say.

Her recipe this time was no doubt already a peerless one. Should I tell her that its enough?

Onoda-kun, come here. Shizu suddenly called out to me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

When I turned my head towards her, Shizu was taking off her reading glasses and was sorting the papers on her table. Following that, she stood up and looked at me. Youre coming with me. Were going to inspect some of the clubs that were reported to have violated the guidelines I set.

Eh? President, why you? Isnt that our job?

Upon hearing what Shizu said, it wasnt me who reacted first. But the Secretary. Watanabe beside him was nodding her head continuously, agreeing with him.

Can you face the Baseball Club with just you two?

Eh? What whats wrong with them?

With the name Baseball Club, the couple immediately shrunk back as the Secretary stuttered to ask whats wrong.

They broke one of the machines donated by one of the alumnis. And it wasnt an accident.

Emphasizing that last sentence, I could see Shizu gritting her teeth. She was mad. Alright.

But this girl if the two were afraid of that club, then shes too brave to go there by herself.

Ah. Wait. I was going with her.

So I was a hired muscle this time, huh?

In any case, she probably deemed it impossible for the other members of the Student Council to ask or to confront the Baseball Club for the reports truthfulness.

I understand, Shizu-senpai. What about the meeting, will you not do it first?

With the couple being scared again, I stepped up and responded to her this time.

Upon hearing that question, Shizu shook her head, That can wait. If they begin their training then it will be hard to converse with them.
