「Well then, I'm sorry that we had to move from the corridor to the library.」

「Y-yes&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; I'm fine with it.」

Certainly we can't have a calm conversation in the corridor, but unexpectedly she chose the library&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; I get it, she's using her home as advantage in the fight! (Asakura)

Uwaah~~ Why is a cla.s.s rep character like me being targeted by the female's top cla.s.s Asakura-san~~?! Since I didn't want the crime scene being seen by the other girls I've been leading Asakura-san into the library, but it seems she's having some weird misunderstanding, isn't she? (Cla.s.s Rep)

「A, Asakura-san! It's a misunderstanding! Wait, it's just that Andou-kun came to the library and since I'm the library committee member we had a conversation!」

Don't joke with me! Andou-kun is not even my type, being hated by Asakura-san for that worthless reason, a mere cla.s.s rep character like me will be getting the cold shoulder from all the girls in school, won't I?! Even if, Asakura-san herself didn't mean to sink me, in the world of women if the one on top is considering a particular person as an enemy, then it will be the consensus of all the other girls! (Cla.s.s Rep)

「In conclusion, Andou-kun and me are not in any relations.h.i.+p!」

「That means&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; During lunch break you're doing tryst&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」

Wroooooooooong! (Cla.s.s Rep)

「Asakura-san, calm down! To begin with, it's just light conversations as though it's with the boys from the cla.s.s as 『usual』!

「Gufu~!」 Bakyu~n!

U-usual&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; 'it's just light conversations as though it's with the boys from the cla.s.s as 『usual』' she said&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;!? Then, did she just say the whole of my  effort in trying to talk with Andou-kun until now is just the 『usual』 thing for her&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;? (Asakura)

「Moreover, Andou-kun and me only talked about books, nothing else!」

「Gaha~!」Bakyu~n!

「Ah, when meeting with Andou-kun at the library, rather than talking about books&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; we were only talking about 『light novels』 and nothing else, I think?」

「Gyafun!」Zuka~n!

W-what the heck&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; this la.s.s, the things I've been desperately trying to grasp until now, she's taking it so lightly&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; (Asakura)

「Alright, I understand. Cla.s.s rep! You're my enemy!」

「Whyyyyyyyyyyyy!」

Hi-iiiiiiii! T-the thing I'm afraid of becoming reality! (Cla.s.s Rep)

「Asakura-san, hold on! Seriously, I beg you. Listen to what I'm saying, please! A, Asakura-san&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;『likes』 Andou-kun, right?」

「Hau~! W, w-w-w, what are you talking about~~?」

Uwaa~ Asakura-san is so easy to read, she's fl.u.s.tered&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; This person sucks at lying. (Cla.s.s Rep)

Hauuu~! W-w-w, why cla.s.s rep found out about my feeling! Even though I've yet to reveal this feelings to anybody! (Asakura)

「D-don't get me wrong! It's not like, I like Andou-kun&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; It's just, I want to have a relations.h.i.+p in which we can happily talk  during lunch break, you know!」

「He, Hee~~&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」

Moreover, what's with this easy to understand tsundere&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;But, with this reaction if I can skillfully guide Asakura-san, it's unlikely I'll be turned into her enemy. (Cla.s.s Rep)

「It's all right, Asakura-san. Calm down, since I don't have any interest in Andou-kun who is comparable to water fleas, instead, as the cla.s.s rep I'm actually rooting for Asakura-san and Andou-kun's relations.h.i.+p!」

「Fue&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Cla.s.s rep, is that true?」

「Of course! Even before this I thought about what if Andou-kun had a cheerful person like Asakura-san as a friend! That's why, I wanted to cooperate with Asakura-san to get along with Andou-kun!」

「Cooperation&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;?」

「Un!」

「Cla.s.s rep is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; for my relations.h.i.+p with Andou-kun?」

「Un, un!」

「But, cla.s.s rep didn't mind me getting along with Andou-kun?」

「Of course! Ah, I'll say this no matter how many times, Andou-kun is not my type! My type for a man is someone like 『Red Butler』!」

「Retto batoraー?」

「A, Asakura-san, didn't know&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Umm, he's a character from my favorite novel.」

To sum it up, cla.s.s rep is in fact not aiming for Andou-kun&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; On the contrary, she will grant me her cooperation&h.e.l.lip;.. (Asakura)

「Cla.s.s rep! You're a really nice person! I'm sorry for doubting you!」

「I don't mind. Look, we're cla.s.smates, right!」

I'm safeeeeeeee! Alright! On the contrary, by supporting Asakura-san's love, I can also be intimate with the female's top cla.s.s Asakura-san and while at it my status between the female cla.s.s will be firmer, I can get by with this calculation! For that Asakura-san to be having a crush on Andou-kun is outside of my expectations, but for the number one in school like Asakura-san just by flirting a little bit, a loner like Andou-kun will be easy for her. (Cla.s.s Rep)

「Well then, cla.s.s rep! What should I do so I won't be nervous when I'm talking with Andou-kun?」

「&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Ha?」

「T-the thing is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; To be honest I fell in love with Andou-kun just recently&h.e.l.lip;.. But now that I understand that this feeling is 『love』, I can't look at Andou-kun's face properly so I can't talk with him&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」

What the, from that partーー?! Eeeeh, that Asakura-san is at this level? (Cla.s.s Rep)

「Uhmm, then, you'll be fine if you think of Andou-kun's face as potato, right?」

「If I could do that I wouln't be troubled like this! Geez!」

Uwah, troublesomeeeee~&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Eh, maybe, I accepted a peskier consultation than I had expected? (Cla.s.s Rep)

「Uhmm&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Asakura-san, cla.s.s will be starting soon so can't we continue this at another time?」

「A-Ah, you're right! Cla.s.s rep, I'm sorry for taking your time, see you later! I'm expecting it!」

「Ah, un. YES.」

Fuh&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Finally Asakura-san left. (Cla.s.s Rep)

「Oh, it's cla.s.s rep.」

「A, Andou-kun.」

What if a rumour is spreading. By the way, what's his business coming at this late hour. (Cla.s.s Rep)

「Just now, when I was pa.s.sing by Asakura-san over there, I heard it. Cla.s.s rep seems to be on good terms with Asakura-san, huh.」

「Ahahaha&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; O-oh well~~」

Whose fault do you think it is, a.s.shole! (Cla.s.s Rep)
