Episode 239: Eerie stillness
"Recently, I haven't seen the beautiful Student Council President."
"Th, that's right."
When Aki says such a thing at school, I can't help but have my shoulders shake.
The reason why my shoulders shake is because it is almost certainly my fault that we stopped seeing each other.
"Eating lunch together was my purpose in life ..."
For Aki, who is disliked by women and has a party with only men, the time he could have lunch with the Student Council President and her student attendants, seems to be something like an oasis in school life, as it was the only thing related to women.
I couldn't comprehend it and was terrified, but Aki didn't seem to think that we were being ambushed, and was genuinely disappointed that he couldn't eat lunch with the Student Council President.
"Because she's the Student Council President. I guess she got busy with some work all of a sudden."
"Maybe so."
When I briefly explain why we stopped seeing her, Aki replies while looking into the distance.
The reason why this happened is that after talking to Saotome-senpai, the Student Council President's school stalking behavior suddenly stopped.
"I strictly warned her, so she should be fine now. She's reflecting on it, so please forgive her."
At the beginning of the week, Saotome-senpai came to me at school and apologized, so I think he probably said something to her.
It's not something that Senpai should bow his head for.
She's his childhood friend, so he's been following her for a long time, so maybe it's become a habit.
However, it was hard for me to believe that just because my Senpai said something to her, her actions would suddenly end, so I'm still on full vigilance.
Right now, I don't feel like I'm being ambushed, but every day I'm terrified that she might be thinking of something bad somewhere else.
"I'm not sure about the reason either ..."
Besides, Saotome-senpai didn't seem to understand why she was persistently ambushing me, so he bowed his head lightly to me with an apologetic expression.
She didn't invite me to join the student council, nor did she confess to me. She was just talking to me, so now it's really a mystery why she approached me.
In any case, the past few days she has eerily disappeared from the waiting time in the morning, the break time, and the ambush on the way home.
And when today ends, it's summer vacation.
Basically, there is a high possibility that we will be in a dungeon or traveling overseas, so the chances of meeting her will be almost gone for a while.
Even though I know the reason and feel lonely without an ambush, now I don't know if Saotome-senpai's words are the real reason or not, so the eerieness only increases.
"Haa ..."
I involuntarily let out a sigh.
The homeroom began, the grades were handed over, and the list of homework was handed out.
"Today marks the end of the first semester, and tomorrow will be summer vacation, but please try to live a moderate life like a High School Student. Especially, the explorer group that has gained strength from the simultaneous global Stampedes. Make sure you don't use that power for evil. If you threaten ordinary people with that power, the punishment will be heavy. Got it!!"
""Yees.""
"Then, that's all from me."
"Rise. Bow. Sit."
The teacher finishes homeroom and leaves the classroom.
My classmates start talking all at once without leaving immediately.
"Haa ... Even though it's because we didn't participate in the class, I'd like to be spared of having a lot of homework."
As soon as the homeroom ends, Aki sits down on the opposite side of the chair, turns to face me, and slams it into my desk.
"Well. If you make a plan every day, it will be over in no time."

"As I thought, you're a traitor ..."
I thought he was going to say something very normal, but Aki opens his closed eyes and stares at me.
I see, so that's what he means.
"Why am I a traitor. Does that mean you're the type to stay up all night without doing it until the last minute?"
"Well. Summer vacation is a time for rest."
As expected, Aki is the type to not do his homework until the end of summer vacation.
"I don't know, I don't know ... But, I think it's easier to do a little bit every day and finish it."
"If I could do that, there would be no need to worry."
"Is that so."
"That's right."
I don't understand the feeling of wanting to say that it's strange to have homework even though it's a holiday, but I think it's better to do it early if you have to do it.
However, it seems that not everyone can do that.
Well, my Nanami is also pretty close to the same type as Aki. I studied a lot and tried to avoid that as much as possible.
"So, do you have any plans for summer vacation?"
Aki asks about my summer vacation.
"I'm going overseas for a little while."
It's bad to talk about the investigation, but I don't think there's a problem with this.
"Eh!? Seriously, that's great. I've never traveled overseas before."
"Well, it's my first time to travel, so I want to go to various places."
The word overseas surprised Aki as I answered.
"So, where are you going?"
"Maybe America."
"Who are you going with?"
"My sister Nanami and 'I'm going too.'."
When I was about to answer where and who was going, Shia interrupts the conversation. When she hears that I am traveling overseas, I think she entered the conversation.
"I am, together."
"Kah ~ !! Hurry up and have your rear explode!!"
And when Shia says it to repeat it again, Aki covers his eyes with his hand, looks at the ceiling and shouts, then glares at me.
It's the usual guy.
Moreover, since Shia confessed to me and I put it on hold, I can't deny that we are in that kind of relationship.
"We're in a party together. It's not strange for us to go together."
"Yeah, yeah, is that so!! I'll spend my summer vacation in gray at best!!"
"I'll buy you a lot of souvenirs, so please excuse me."
"It can't be helped."
Aki folds his arms and turns away from me because of my desperate excuse, but he seems to take comfort in the word 'Souvenir' and quickly returns to normal.
He's as easy-going as ever.
"If you have any requests, please tell me on 'LINNE'."
"Okay. I'm looking forward to it."
Our summer vacation has begun.
