The supplementary class club, originally a makeshift creation by Nagisa, is fundamentally a club focused on rooting out traitors. Ironically, the one in the club seemed less like a traitor and more like a double agent, while the true traitor was among the leaders of Trinity… but anyway.
This time, the newly formed supplementary class club is truly dedicated to its namesake.
Please study a little, for the love of all that is holy.
In that sense, it was essential to have someone to teach these fail students, and it didn’t necessarily have to be Hanako. I just felt a bit sad that the bond from the original story might fade away because of me…
Here, we could mention the countermeasure committee, Heungsinso 68, and Hifumi. Normally, they should have established a connection, but due to the butterfly effect I caused, they are currently oblivious to each other’s existence.
While I have no intention of forcing myself into their affairs by clinging to the original story, I still can’t help feeling somewhat guilty… sigh.
Anyway, that’s why I was thinking of getting Hanako involved in the supplementary class club. But if she doesn’t want to, I won’t push it.
It’s not like I suddenly surrendered, raising my hands in defeat due to my secret being revealed… maybe.
But then, out of the blue, Hanako unexpectedly threw out a response.
“I understand for now, Mika-senpai.”
“Well, that’s unavoidable. Uh, what about the others…?”
“If you desire that, it’s only natural to comply.”
“…You’re acting completely differently in front of us compared to in front of Mika. I almost thought I was talking to a different person.”
Ayu muttered in disbelief after hearing Hanako’s words. Next to her, Hifumi nodded, and even Hasumi looked like she was holding back her agreement.
Koharu seemed to be staring with anticipation, practically dying to break the silence.
So, what could be the reason Hanako, who just dropped a nuclear bomb on me, is now suddenly agreeing to my appointment?
It’s obvious even a fool could figure it out. By agreeing to what I proposed, and having set a guillotine over my head, Hanako has earned the right to demand anything of me. Depending on how you look at it, it’s practically a free wish.
However, strictly speaking… I don’t think I need to worry too much about Hanako’s threat. After all, who would she leak that embarrassing and disgraceful fact to?
Basically, I’m not completely innocent… well, not that innocent, to be honest.
I can’t just go around telling others I got “chummy” with Noa in the office, so if I were innocent, that would actually be more bizarre…!
More importantly, Hanako isn’t the type to spill such secrets to others who have nothing to do with me. If she were to bring it up, it would logically be someone close, like Nagisa, who figured it out that day.
In the end, Hanako can only drop hints about that day while teasing me occasionally.
That alone could drive me crazy, but it’s not so overwhelming that it’s unbearable, so her teasing isn’t that effective.
Yeah, it’s ineffective, nonetheless…
Hee hee.
Hearing that laugh from Hanako makes me nervous to act out at all.
“Okay, then… take this for now. I’m not sure if I should refer to it as a clubroom, but here’s the classroom key you’ll be using. I wrote down the location. First, you three should head over there and wait.”
“Three of us, you mean excluding Hanako-chan… right?”
“Yeah, I’ll send Hanako-chan a little later. After all, you won’t start studying today anyway, so think of it as a chance to get to know each other better.”
After answering Hifumi’s question, I promptly kicked the three of them out of the office.
Not speaking but observing, Koharu’s dissatisfied expression suggested she wouldn’t be having an easy time with that.
And sure enough, as soon as the door shut, we heard her shout, “I’m just saying this in advance, but if you trap me or anything…! I’m definitely not letting that slide!” confirming my predictions.
“…Sigh. What should I do about Koharu?”
“Heueng. Does it really matter? She’s just adorable.”
“Even so, I told you to be careful how you act in front of Mika. That’s a serious request…”
“Hah, well, maybe she’ll improve over time… But honestly, I don’t think it’s something to worry too much about. So, let’s shift to something more constructive. What do you think, Hasumi-chan?”
“Oh, yes. Then can you take a look at this document first? It’s the final approved security plan and personnel allocation…”
Whoa. It’s work time, folks!
And once again, it’s all stuff I stirred up!
*
After Hasumi left with the final approval of the security plan targeting Gehenna Students, silence momentarily enveloped the office.
As I was wordlessly gauging each other’s reactions with Hanako, we turned our heads toward each other almost simultaneously. We had been sitting close just moments ago, but now there was a little gap, creating an awkward situation…
Huh?
Huh?
“It’s senpai.”
Almost simultaneously with a soft fluffy sensation on my head, I heard a sultry voice.
In front of me… was a massive mountain. No joke!
“My beloved, respected, revered, and adored senpai…”
In the blink of an eye, I found myself sprawled across Hanako’s lap, yielding everything to her grace.
Hanako’s hand settled on my head, her touch initially appearing rough, but in reality, it was exceedingly gentle… as if she were handling a delicate glass sculpture.
Gently stroking my hair, she grasped my hand with the other one and spoke in a calm yet bashful tone.
“Today, I noticed you don’t seem startled at all… and because of that, I ended up in quite a surprise.”
Did being shocked result in spontaneous undressing…?!
“I always wanted to show you my best side. I wanted to serve you in the perfect little sister role, maintaining the same image as on the day when we first met.”
“…”
“On the other hand, I was secretly wondering when I might get caught. That thrill was what I lived for day by day… hee hee. This is such a surprise, I thought for sure you would be shocked. So, maybe that’s why this moment isn’t as sweet as I imagined… how regrettable.”
With a soft sigh, Hanako tightened her grip on my hand just a bit more. My inner April Fool’s prank or however I jokingly confessed was genuinely heartfelt, wasn’t it…
Curiosity piqued my interest in what kind of face Hanako might be making, but unfortunately, I couldn’t see anything. Being so deeply nestled meant all I could focus on was the texture of two peaks adorned with the unique feel of swimwear.
This was indeed an absurdly beautiful sight, but… um…
“So, I’d like to ask you, senpai. Just how much do you know about me outside of this office? And when did you find out?”
“…A bit here and there. Of course, I have hardly seen it in person. I’ve only heard stories. Like from Nagisa-chan, for instance.”
“Phew. I guess I should’ve been a bit more restrained with Nagisa. She is someone who can’t be easily silenced, so I guess it leaked from her.”
“Hmm? No. The fact that I didn’t see much means I have seen a few glimpses. For example, at the party held for Nagisa-chan’s birthday last year.”
“…Oh?”
“Remember? Yeah, the conversation you were having with Hinata. I heard everything. The attempts to shut up that you backed off from are incredibly cute in retrospect.”
“Ten months of pranking you, huh? That’s a bit shocking. I thought I was being rather careful.”
“Haha! Honestly, I was a bit surprised not to hear much about you at all.”
“Really? Uh-huh. Mika-senpai, may I ask you one more question?”
At this point, Hanako’s hand slipped from my hand to rest on my stomach. And then, there was a strangely teasy movement going lower…?
“Uh, hey. Hanako-chan? Your hands seem to be doing something… a bit strange?”
“If it’s for you, should I continue living as the perfect little sister and loyal secretary I was just until yesterday? Or… should I live as a bit teasing yet filled with love for you, struggling to figure out how to serve the feast that’s laid before me?”
Fortunately, her hands didn’t venture too far and stopped near my lower abdomen. But, I really wonder what to do about this.
Since they are simply resting there and adding weight, my body feels oddly warm from it…
This is clearly Nagisa’s fault. She has always pressed down on me, and now she’s clearly set something strange into motion. Ugh.
…Still, the important thing right now is Hanako’s question.
“I want… um, sure. I’d like you to do as you wish. No matter which path you choose, you’ll still be my precious little sister.”
“Is that so… according to what I desire… ufufu…♡”
“Uh, your voice is already sounding rather dubious… I haven’t really granted you that kind of permission, so take it easy, okay?”
“Hm… that’s a bit disappointing. I was secretly hoping for that… but I understand, senpai. Let’s move ahead slowly, step by step together.”
“So you’re saying I haven’t granted you permission, huh.”
“But… if someone is as lively as you to the point of showing intense affection in the office, I think you’d cross over to that side in no time. If you’re going to permit it anyway, wouldn’t it be better to just do it now…?”
…Ah. I thought you wouldn’t bring it up.
“Look, Hanako-chan. About that office, well—”
“To be honest, I never dreamed you’d be such a bold person. The thrill of being on the verge of being caught in front of someone while playing, along with the sense of betrayal by playing hymns, really is…♡”
“Uh, no…! I didn’t want it like that…! Ah, the hymns, I might’ve played those, but… that was really just random…”
“Mika-senpai, I believe I saw that scenario in some sensual novel…”
“Uh, Hanako-chan. Please don’t say you boldly confessed to reading forbidden books in front of the student council president… grk!”
“Usually, the play in the office is best done with a secretary, right…? Hee hee. Isn’t that just a delightful tale? I will remain by your side as your own secretary forever.”
“Hanako-chan…”
“Hee hee… This tickles, senpai.”
“…Ah.”
As Hanako’s sultry presence enveloped my face, the sultry tone triggered thoughts of just succumbing to this moment and dying here without regrets… or maybe I’d be entering paradise? Yes, so being crushed by paradise sounds right.
But no, paradise? What paradise? I fit right into hell—
“Ah, right. I’ve already received permission from Nagisa to—”
Paradise… nonexistent?
