(Kazu’s POV)
“Then, first…”
“Takanashi-san.”
Senpai’s voice came out and interjected my words.
She’s showing a very serious expression… although she’s still holding onto the hem of my shirt.
So close, our distance…
“I’m sorry, but I have a lot to say to you, and I’m sure you as well. But please let me talk first.”
“I understand. However, let me just make sure of one thing.”
She may look composed, but Senpai was very good at hiding things.
So is she fine now…?
“Senpai, are you really okay?”
“… Yes.”
“After all that’s happened. You don’t have to hold back. Just be honest with me.”
“…”
I waited for Senpai’s response.
“Um… I still feel a little… when I’m reminded of it.”
After saying that, her hands started to tremble again.
Even in the past, the only solution that I can think of when something like this happened was to overwrite the shock.
Even with Yuzuha, I will never go this far.
“Senpai, I’ll apologize ahead of time. Excuse me.”
Since I couldn’t do this on the rooftop, I resolved myself, then simply hugged her.
“Ehh!?”
Since it was unexpected, Senpai raised her voice in surprise.
I continued to hug her without regard to her scream.
“Senpai, as I said before, it’s okay to not worry about those guys anymore. The student council president has taken steps to ensure that the people who were involved will be dealt with accordingly. There’s also that friend of yours.”

I continued saying as if I was persuading her.
“And… I’m sorry that I misunderstood you. What you said the other day. You meant that from your position as vice president, right?”
“…Yes, I was going to mention that to you right now.”
“Then I’m sorry for misinterpreting your words. If you’re not bothered being with me, I want to continue helping you.”
“Thank you very much… I’m sorry, but please let me stay like this for a while.”
She didn’t look like she was crying, but she leaned against me a little.
We stayed like that for a while, until Senpai’s hands stopped trembling.
——————————————
I waited for her to calm down and moved away, but as expected, I was at my wits end.
That was pretty nerve-wracking…
“I’m sorry, I’m fine now. If there’s anything on your mind, don’t hesitate to talk to me about it.”
Apparently, she’s calmed down for real this time.
“I wanted to talk to you properly, but you seemed to have understood the most important part that I wanted to tell you. But I still want to explain it to you properly. Will you listen to me?”
“Yes.”
“Let me tell you this, I believe in you.”
“You are not like the other guys. Please forget about what I said the other day about not giving anyone special treatment. I was just speaking from the perspective of a student council vice president.”
“…Okay.”
To be honest, I was really happy, but as I expected, it was due to my selfish misunderstanding, and I felt bad for it.
“I personally see you as a person that will not do things like that… do you understand?”
Senpai asked, showing signs of anxiety.
“… Yes, thank you very much. To be honest, I’m really glad to hear you say that. I have a lot of things I need to talk about, but can I ask you something first?”
“Okay.”
That is… it was something that had been bothering me for a long time, and now that I know that she believed me, it concerned me even more.
“Senpai, you knew who I was, didn’t you? You must have already heard about me before you saw me watering the flower garden, since you’ve been treating me well from the very beginning, yet we’ve never met before…”
“Ah, about that?”
Senpai pondered for a moment, then averted her gaze away from me, as if remembering something.
