When I opened my eyes again, I was once again welcomed by Shizus beautiful face. The way she stared at was nothing short of endearing. With her hand caressing my cheeks along with the gentle brush on my hair, Shizus doing her best to make me comfortable in my sleep.

Upon seeing me open my eyes, she beamed a refreshing smile and whispered Good morning teasingly.

Her mask was removed this time.

Fortunately, no one entered the room when I was asleep.

Or so I thought...

How spoiled... To have used Asakura-senpais lap as a pillow, youre the first, Onoda-kun.

Sitting on one of the chairs around the long table, Watanabe was there, sipping her tea while watching us interestingly.

And when I looked at Shizu after being aware that theres someone else inside the room, the girl had a very satisfying smile on her lips as if one of her wishes was realized.

Showing off our relationship to someone else... It might be just one for now but for her, its an accomplishment.

Only this shameless guy is allowed. You have to keep this a secret, Watanabe. Shizu calmly said.

However, in my ears, it was laden with a warning. No, Watanabe surely picked that up as well. If someone else were to know of this, shed face the wrath of Shizu.

By letting her know about us, Shizu partially satisfied her wish but at the same time, shes also thinking about the other girls.

Perhaps, even though shes already satisfied to let the whole 1st year students know about me being the Student Council lackey, she still wanted someone thats not related to my complicated relationships to become aware of her man...

This just proved how stubborn she is.

Un. You can count on me, President. Watanabe gave a thumbs-up, reassuring Shizu. Now, the mystery of why the two of you went to this room yesterday was solved.

Ah. Thats right. Shes also part of the Student Council and shes here yesterday during the clean-up drive.

It flew above my head that shes there considering I wasnt focusing on anyone else but my girls...

No wonder she said good luck earlier. Her suspicion had already heightened to the maximum.

And perhaps, she returned here hoping to see something...

In the end, her curiosity aligned with Shizus wish while I was sleeping soundly on her lap.

I sat up before coughing twice, gaining the two womens attention. At this point, I had no choice but to also go with the flow. Please keep this a secret, Watanabe-san, Ill be owing you a favor.

I already swear that I will keep quiet, Onoda-kun. Theres no need for any favor anymore. Truthfully, Im kind of glad that Asakura-senpai isnt as heartless as I thought her to be. Watanabe scratched the back of her head while awkwardly laughing before apologetically bowing towards Shizu.

Mhm. Were in the same boat about that. And Im glad I got to know her. Although making me her personal secretary might be abusing her authority... I can only ask for your understanding.

I understand fully! Youre probably worrying about Asakura-senpais reputation. Here, you can show your affection to each other without any more.

Youre bright, Watanabe-san. Im not regretting approving of your appointment as the Treasurer.

Un. Seeing the President's natural smile is a privilege as well. Youre more beautiful that way, Asakura-senpai.

As the two exchanged praises towards one another, I behaved myself sitting next to Shizu. However, halfway through it, Shizu held my hand in hers and pulled up along with her when she stood up.

Well then, Watanabe-san, Ill be leaving the office to you. We have to go somewhere.

No worries, Ill hold the fort. The Treasurer energetically stood up and saluted Shizu as she sent us off to the door.

Before we left the room, Shizu already let go of my hand.

Shes still not saying where were going so instead of questioning her again, I followed her steps as I walked next to her.

Going down from the fourth floor of the Club Building to outside it, we passed by many students who simply bowed or made way for us to pass through.

And like last time, I heard whispers coming from those students when they thought were already far enough.

Theyre all wondering who am I to be able to walk beside Shizu.

Nonetheless, I just carried myself the same way as before and didnt bother about them. The 1st years were already aware that I am the Student Councils lackey, in time, those from the higher years would hear it and I would be branded with a new nickname apart from Shiori-senseis Pet.

From the Club Building, Shizu led me to the Administration Building.

However, we didnt stop at the first floor where the faculty was located, instead... we climbed the stairs. We also skipped the second floor where the Infirmary was located and arrived at the third floor.

We walked along the corridor wherein unlabeled rooms could be seen from our left and right. The 3rd floor of the Administration Building, like the 4th floor of the Club Building was seemingly deserted and only one room was labeled.

The room located at the end of the hall.

The Principals Office.

Shizu, why are we here?

I told you, Ill have you meet someone.

Someone? The Principal?

Well, shes not exactly the Principal but shes taking her office here. Moreover, she can also be found at another place aside from here. But Im certain that she will be here at this time.

She? Two places? Not exactly the Principal?

When I heard that from Shizus mouth, one person seemingly flashed inside my mind.

The most mysterious person in this school...

Please excuse us. After knocking twice, Shizu pushed open the brown oaken door, revealing the interior of the Principals Office.

As it was facing the door directly, my eyes instantly caught sight of the luxurious mahogany table and the person sitting behind it.

Hmm? Shizu-chan? Whats the occasion?

The familiar mature voice instantly flowed into my ears. Even if Shizus body was still partly covering the face of the speaker, my guess about the identity of the person Shizu wanted me to meet was proven right.

Hayashi-sensei, I found him. My successor. As she was saying that, Shizu stepped to the side, presenting me to the person sitting behind the table.
