Episode 042 Call of Horror

"Who is it? Hello."

[ Hello, it's me. ]

 The next day, I heard the voice of a woman coming from the phone when I answered it.

 I have a very bad feeling ...

"Is this a scam?"

[ Wrong. This is Hojou Tokine, the Student Council President. ]

"Why do you know my cell phone number!?"

[ Fufufu, I'll leave that to your imagination. ]

 After all, the other party on the phone was the chairman. She has an absurdly happy voice. Only my sister, mother, and Aki know my cell phone number.

 So did Aki sell me out?

 But he's not the kind of guy who sells out a friend, right?

 No ... He'll tell them without any hesitation if a girl asks him.

 However, even if he doesn't do it, I'm afraid that someone could get it from somewhere.

"So, what do you want with me?"

[ I want to have a talk with you, so I'd like you to come to the Student Council Room. Is that okay? ]

 It's a conversation. There are signs that I definitely shouldn't go. My intuition is whispering.

"I would like to refrain from doing so if possible ..."

[ Oh, a good man doesn't refuse a woman's invitation, right? ]

 The voice of the chairman contains a ridiculous tone.

"I don't think I'm a good guy tho."

[ That's not true. You're my number one focus right now. ]

 In response to my dismayed reply, she replied with high tension.

 Why is this person paying attention to me? After all, is it because I'm too weak as an explorer? By extension, she must know my secret that I have no level, skill, or ability score.

"Haa ... do I have the option to decline?"

[ If that happens, I have no idea what will happen? ]

 Her words froze my spine.

 That person must be holding my secret. Maybe it will be made public.

 With that in mind, I couldn't refuse.

"Oh ... I understand."

 I sighed and gave a positive reply.

[ Thank you very much. I won't take up too much of your time. ]

"Understood."

[ Then, I'll be waiting for you. ]

 Perhaps she was satisfied with my reply, the chairman, who had a more joyful voice, hung up as soon as we finished the talk.

-Tsuu, tsuu, tsuu

"Haah ..."

 After I hung up the phone, I sighed loudly, imagining future developments.

-Konkon

"Come in please."

"Excuse me."

 When I arrived at the Student Council Room, I knocked and went inside.

 The inside looks like a conference room plus an office, with desks lined up in front of each other, and the office desk of the Student Council President is lined up behind them. There, the Student Council President sat in a tall leather chair behind the desk with a smile on her face.

"Hello. It has a meloncholic look, doesn't it?"

 After I bypassed the desks lined up and came to the front of the office desk, the chairman stared at me as if she were looking at something interesting.

"Who's the one at fault ..."

"Oh, are you saying you're not happy to be called by a woman?"

"That's not the case ..."

 She grins and asks while I'm amazed.

 I don't care if my secret is on the verge of being revealed.

 I muddy my words.

"So, what's the reason you called me here?"

"Oh, I wanted to enjoy chatting a little more, but it's okay. I'll tell you up front. Would you like to join the Student Council?"

"Eeh?"

 The words that came out of the chairman's mouth were incomprehensible, and I exposed a stupid face.

"No, no, why would I join the Student Council?"

 After about 10 seconds, when I returned to normal, I hurriedly asked.

"It's because the moment I saw you, it came to me."

 The chairman replied with her index finger upright.

"For that reason?"

"My intution can't be looked down upon? I have that kind of skill."

"Really ..."

 I can't believe the reason and question it, but the chairman spoke with confidence.

 She has that kind of skill. In other words, does it mean that she has a special power that I don't have, and that power makes her feel the benefit of havnig me join the Student Council?

"Even though I understand why the president wants me to join the Student Council, but there is no merit for me to join the Student Council, right?"

 Once you join the Student Council, you need to work for the Student Council. This will inevitable reduce the time to go to the dungeon. I want to avoid that as much as possible, as I want to hit the limit on all my proficiencies.

"Do you need another push? I'll say it clearly, but when you join the Student Council, you'll be popular?"

"What? What are you talking about?"

 I was taken aback by words I didn't think a woman would say.

"I'm ~telling ~you, you can spend a rosy youth with a lot of girls, is what I'm saying."

 The Student Council President declares more concretely.

 No, I know that, but I don't think it's something a young woman like you should say.

"With all due respect Chairman, it's regrettable, but I didn't think you would say something like that?"

 It was too far from the image that the Student Council President, who was lascivious, should say such a thing, and somehow I managed to return to myself and became calm.

"Well, isn't that the case?"

"Buuu."

 Maybe something came to mind, the Student Council President became flustered and her words faltered to a stop.

 It seems that this person was more human than I expected.

"Oh, it's terrible to laugh!"

"Sorry, I'm sorry, it was a little cute ..."

 The Student Council President gets angry at me who laughed. Unlike her usual onee-san-like atmosphere, she is a little childish.

"Well, cute ......... Kohon. Well, how about your reply?"

"What if I refuse?"

 After blushing for a while, the Chairman clears her throat, regains her calm, adn asks for a reply.

 She may be more innocent than I expected.

 However, I have to check if my secret was exposed.

"I have an idea."

"What are you going to do?"

 I can see from her expression that she is confident that I will join the Student Council, but I will go one step further and ask.

-Funyoon

"I will do this."

 The Student Council President stood up confidently, walked next to me, grabbed my arm, folded our arms like a couple, and pressed them against her chest.

"In short?"

"I seduce you."

 I didn't understand why, and when I checked it, she answered with a doya face.

 Fuuuuuuu!!

 My secret!!!

 Was saved!!

 I was convinced by the attitude of the Chairman.

"I refuse."

"Eeh!?"

 The Chairman makes a voice as if something impossible happened at my reply.

"I'm saying, I refuse to join the Student Council."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!? Whyyyy!?"

 When I refused to join, the Chairman didn't understand why and shouted at me.

"Because I don't want to be popular."

"That's it!?"

"So, if you'll excuse me."

 When I presented my answer, she couldn't believe it all the more, and she froze with a stunned expression.

 Leaving behind such a Chairman, I left the place.

-Pataan

"Hmm ... it was good ..."

 When I got out of the Student Council Room and saw the door closed, I exhaled in relief.

 The Student Council President had not found out my secret. Just knowing that makes my heart very light. Perhaps because of that, I remember something else at the same time.

"Huh ... it was soft ..."

 The feeling of the Chairman remaining on my arm was very clear.

[ Saotome-kun, you said ... you liar. ]

 I felt like I heard such a mutter from inside, but it's probably just my imagination, yeah.
