Reiryuu Academy Student Council

Drop Shotaro off and head back to the house. When I opened the door, Kei waited there.

"Bud Grey Sister"

Kei speaks quietly to the bud grenade who takes off his shoes and rises inside the house. The bud grenade gently tilted his neck under Kei's gaze.

"What?

Senior Lotus Moon just sent me a message.

That's what Kei said, making his smartphone look like a bud grenade. The screen showed the exchange of messages with Fengya.

The message from Kazuya at the top reads, "Are you sure you want to practice tricks with Shotaro Kung today? 'It's coming.

The bud grenade circled his eyes and turned his gaze to the reply sent by Kei to panic.

"For once, we talked about it."

The reply Kei sent to Fengya was: 'That's right. I'm doing exactly what I'm doing now,' it said.

Looking at the bud grenade that grates his chest, Kei turns a surprised glance.

"What were you doing with Senior Gejong?"

Shoot grenade shoulders swayed and Kei's face turned into something more complicated. I invited Shotaro home until I told everyone a lie. Bud grenades don't lie to Kei more than that's what Kei found out.

"... Gejong-kun was helping me cure my dark spot phobia."

"Huh?"

Apparently the answer was unexpected, and Kei makes a dumb voice. Bud Grey laughed bitterly when he heard such a gui voice.

"Cure me... why, I mean... why Senior Gejong?

Kei asks in confusion. There will also be doubts that the desire to overcome phobia has now arisen, but it seems that it was a bigger question for Kei that Shotaro relied even more on Shotaro than that.

"Gejong-kun has always known about my dark spot phobia... and cared a lot for me. So it's the easiest thing to ask for..."

"No, you can ask me."

Kei wrinkles between his eyebrows. On a slightly angry face Kei, the bud grenade frightens me.

"If you'd told me, I'd have helped. Didn't I rely on you?

"No, I'm not."

The sprouts immediately deny it. At first, I was also thinking a little about asking Kei. But Kei didn't want me to look sorry for him, and I just couldn't ask for it.

And number one...

"Kei has never seen what a bud grenade will look like in a dark room... have you?

Mariko pinched her mouth that way, apparently listening to the conversation between Bud Grey and Kei. Mariko is right, Kei has never actually seen the dark spot phobia of bud grenades. The same goes for Heiji, who just understands that fact with their heads.

I've actually seen Mariko once on that day ten years ago. That also means that we were all careful not to be afraid of bud grenades.

"I haven't seen Bud Grey like that in ten years either. Honestly, I don't know if you can support me, and... you had a hard time relying on me, didn't you?

Mariko asks the bud grenade with a serious face, not the usual kidding attitude. I don't want to be seen because I'm family. Mariko knew exactly how I felt about the bud grenade I thought she did.

"If you could count on me, I would have helped. Still, I can't deny that Shotaro, who supported Shotaro most recently, is easier to ask for than me who hasn't seen him in ten years."

Mariko says so that she can deceive Kei. But Kei still didn't seem convinced.

"But even me... eh"

"I'm in shock. Much harder than Kei thinks, seeing Bud Grey in the dark. It makes it extra hard because I can't do anything about it"

Because she didn't like it, Mariko tried thoroughly not to create darkness in the house. That's how hard and painful the bud grenade looked in the dark.

"... sorry"

Mariko tells me, Kei drops her gaze. "I'm sorry," Sprout also said to Kei, who apologized just a little bit.

Returning to the room Kei looks lonely and the bud grenade sighs small.

"You trust Shotaro-kun unexpectedly."

Mariko makes such a voice call on a bud grenade with a complex look on her face. Mariko chuckled as the bud grenade raised her face to a slight surprise.

"I thought if a bud grenade asked for something, it would be Kamiyo-kun."

After cleaning up, Heavy Ji comes to the bud grenades with such a forethought.

"Is Gejong-kun going to be able to overcome it well?

"... yeah. I will."

Asked by Heavy Ji, the bud grenade nodded quietly. To be clear, I don't know if I can overcome it. But the desire to overcome it was strong, and I felt I could do so if I were Shotaro.

"Right.... I have to thank Gejong-kun the next time you come"

Seiji lowered her eyes and laughed contentedly. That's how he stroked the head of the bud grenade with a pom and said, "Good luck."

"If it's like being a burden to Shotaro, I'll always change. Compared to Shotaro-kun, I wouldn't rely on you."

"Thank you," the bud grenade laughed at Shigeji and Mariko for their kind words.

Then one day about three days later.

In Group F during the lunch break, bud grenades had been questioned by Maiko about earlier classes before eating lunch.

"So, isn't this what happens to the graph because when this happens, the value of x is less than 2/25?

"Yes, but then the quadrant changes, so does the formula we use..."

Bud grenades carefully teach math problems. Slipping the pen on Maiko's notebook, the bud grenade accidentally looked near the F-set door.

Time for the wind to come soon. Looking at the class door sideways with that in mind, a long shadow appeared in Group F.

"Can I get you a sprouts?"

Maiko shrugged so following the gaze of the bud grenade.

Shotaro Gejong doesn't come to Group F much in itself, but if he comes to Group F like that, there's only one sprouted grenade ahead of him. All the classmates, including Maiko, recognized it that way and expected the bud grenades themselves to come this way.

"Is that it?"

Shotaro, who came into group F, turns his gaze to the bud grenade. But he did not walk straight to the bud grenade, but bent at the desk in the third row.

"Tanabe" Yuki "

Shotaro stops in front of the chairman of Group F. "Yuki Tanabe" is the name of the committee chairman in Group F.

"Huh...... what!? Is that me!?

He didn't seem to think he could speak up to Shotaro, and the chairman of the committee turns his voice back. Everyone in group F was looking at Shotaro by showing interest in the oddity of Shotaro speaking to a woman other than Shotaro.

Isn't your name Yuki Tanabe?

"Uh, you know, yeah, but"

In front of Shotaro's scary face, a sweat seeps into the forehead of the committee chairman. Bud Grey was bitterly smiling when he saw how those two were doing.

"Dr. Miura told me to give it to the chairman of Group F. I did give it to you."

Shotaro puts about 50 prints on the chairman's desk. He says he "gave it" with a sense of accomplishment, but he didn't hand it over. Still, Shotaro smiles at the fact that Shotaro has come to give the prints directly to the chairman of the committee.

"Unusual.... that, even though I always go through bud grenades"

Shotaro came to the bud grenade every time he told him to "give it to the chairman of Group F" for the errand of his hand. Maiko, who knows that, snaps as impressed. The President of the Commission seemed rather surprised, of course, because he was always given it from bud grenades.

"Gejong-kun, I hate girls. I'm trying to cure you."

What kind of blow is that?

Takimoto, who was stopping by the buds, reacts to the description of the buds. Maiko was also surprised when she rounded her eyes like a pigeon ate a bean cannon.

"So next time, Maiko will try to talk to Gejong-kun."

"I don't like it. He's still staring at the chairman of the committee, and he's scared to death."

I tried to make a serious suggestion, but Maiko clearly refuses me. But when I heard Maiko's reply, the sprouts laughed at the garlic as Takimoto looked slightly relieved.

"What are you laughing at, Nanhara?"

"Nothing."

Bud Grey laughs at Takimoto and turns his gaze to Shotaro, who has fulfilled the requirements with the chairman of the committee. Looking at Shotaro's side, Shotaro also noticed Shotaro's gaze. He just turned his gaze this way.

"Good luck -"

When I say that with a mouth ache, Shotaro sighs uncomfortably. But his mouth was smiling slightly, and the bud grenade staring at it made him laugh unexpectedly.
