On the way to the student council.
Kazufuru Ooike adjusted his eyeglasses and furrowed his eyebrows as he adjusted his collar.
He was beginning to regret … no, he had long since regretted agreeing to become Harano and Seigo's "friend".
Originally, he wanted to see through Seigo's weakness and use their relationship as "friends", but he hadn't been able to grasp anything yet. Instead, he was always suppressed by Seigo's aura.
Even though he was a popular top student and had no reason to fear Harano, he would always subconsciously feel weaker when facing Seigo.
Was it because Seigo was good at sports?
No, it wasn't just a difference in physique or wrist strength … Kazufuru Ooike couldn't understand why.
"Why did you stop? Secretary, let's continue walking. "Harano's voice came from behind him.
Kazufuru sighed.
"You know the way, right? Why do you insist on me following you?"
"I told you before — I just wanted to have a chat with you."
"I don't think there's anything to talk about between us." Kazufuru's expression was icy cold as he spoke in an indifferent tone.
Seiji looked at this top student for a while and sighed.
"Is it really alright for you to have such an attitude? You should know that I'm … "
"I'm not your friend!"
"I didn't say that. It's impolite to interrupt someone else's speech, Ooike-san …" Seiji gave Kazufuru a sidelong glance. "You seem like a smart person, so why would you be so stupid at such a critical moment?"
"What did you say?" Kazufuru furrowed his eyebrows.
"Your goal is President Wanhua High School, isn't it?" Seiji spoke lightly. "Don't deny it — it's obvious at first glance … You want to become someone special to her, and you're doing your best to get closer to her."
"… So what?" Kazufuru narrowed his eyes.
It wasn't a big secret that his goal was the president, nor was it a weakness.
"You still haven't realized the problem? You want to get closer to the president, and I, Harano Seigo, was personally chosen by the president to transfer to our school, which means that I have a special relationship with her. I'm like this, yet you're resisting when I voluntarily want to be your friend … What else can this be other than idiocy? "
Seiji smiled.
Kazufuru Ooike was stunned for a moment, and his brain spun for a while before he finally reacted.
That's right!
Just by turning his thoughts around, he had to admit that the other party was right.
He had the first impression that Harano and Seigo were strong opponents, but the other had never really stood on the opposite side of him … On the contrary, Seigo could actually become his help!
Kazufuru Ooike's expression changed.
What went wrong? I … I've really … become stupid at such a crucial point!?
Seiji quietly looked at the handsome youth whose expression changed.
This was a guy with a slightly twisted personality, but it wasn't too serious.
With this degree of distortion, even if it was maintained, it shouldn't cause any major problems.
As long as he had enough experience in the future, or if he encountered an opportunity, he should be able to wake up naturally.
Thinking that he was superior, thinking that he was smarter, thinking that he was better than everyone else, thinking that … he was a special existence — many people would have such a mentality during their growth period, and it would be especially severe during the second year of middle school. Some of them would even act strangely, which was the so-called chuunibyou syndrome.
Kazufuru Ooike … to put it simply, he was a chuunibyou patient who hadn't woken up yet, and his syndrome was advancing in a subtle direction.
Seiji was even able to see through the twin witches who were deeply disguised, so there was no need to mention a half-baked person like Kazufuru Ooike.
Seeing that this excellent student didn't have a bad personality, Seiji originally wanted to help him out … But, it was better not to do something that he wasn't used to.
It wasn't like he was Teacher O.
Seiji decided to toy with this kid one last time, and then forget about it.
"Harano-kun …"
As if he finally understood, Kazufuru Ooike's expression changed as he carefully spoke.
"It's already too late, Ooike-san." Seiji intentionally revealed a cold smile.
"I wasn't your enemy to begin with, but you mysteriously became hostile towards me, and you kept rejecting my good intentions … That's why, I'm sorry, but I'm tired of it."
"As you wish, from now on, we're no longer 'friends.'
"You're free, Ooike-san. Go ahead and do what you need to do."
Seiji casually waved his hand and turned around to leave.
"Wait … please wait, Harano-kun …"
Kazufuru Ooike's expression changed again as he hurriedly followed after Seiji.
"It … it was my fault before, I was … a little mistaken, so …"
Seiji ignored him and continued walking forward.
Kazufuru Ooike became even more anxious upon seeing Seiji's behavior.
His relationship with Natsuya had already reached a bottleneck, and this mysterious transfer student was very likely to be the breakthrough point … and the only breakthrough point he could make!
Yet, due to negative emotions such as jealousy and fear, Kazufuru Ooike had already defined Seiji as a rival … a love rival.
Actually, if he thought about it carefully, Harano Seigo had never shown any special feelings towards Wanhua Summer Night!
At least, in the past week, Kazufuru Ooike didn't notice Seigo mentioning the president of his own volition, nor did he hear any signs from other students. Instead, he heard more than once that he told the girls in his class that he didn't have any special relationship with the Wanhua president.
Judging from how the Wanhua president helped him transfer schools, the two of them definitely had some sort of relationship, but it wasn't in that way — if it was, it would have become the biggest news in school!
Kazufuru Ooike was incredibly frustrated. He had overlooked such an obvious fact and made such a huge mistake due to his senseless negative emotions during puberty.
Could it be that he had been infected by those imbeciles!?
No matter what, just as Harano Seigo had said, he had made a stupid mistake at a crucial point!
Seigo Harano had hoped that he would help him integrate into the class. In exchange, Seigo would help him get closer to the president … This should have been a win-win situation for both of them, but Seigo had ruined it due to his own foolishness.
Kazufuru Ooike put himself in Seiji's shoes. If he was the one in Seiji's shoes, and he took the initiative to approach someone with good cards, only to be treated coldly, he would definitely become angry, look down on Seiji, and treat him coldly instead.
Harano Seigo was currently in such a state.
'Ahhh — I was so stupid! I … how could I make such a low-level mistake!! '
Kazufuru Ooike bit his lip.
"I … I'm sorry, Harano-kun! It was all my fault before, I … sincerely ask for your forgiveness! "
He apologized to the figure in the loudest voice possible so as not to attract the attention of any passing students.
Seiji paused in his footsteps.
"Apologize … I heard you." He didn't even turn around as he spoke with his back still facing Kazufuru.
"But, if I forgive you immediately just like that, would you believe me?"
"Er …" Kazufuru paused in surprise for a moment and grit his teeth bitterly.
"Let's go, Ooike-san. Stop wasting time by following me." Seiji said this lightly before continuing to walk away.
Kazufuru could only stand where he was and watch Seiji leave with regret in his heart.
After leaving the honor student secretary behind, Seiji tossed him to the back of his mind.
The most important thing right now was his conversation with Wanhua Grand Mistress.
Once again, Seiji arrived at the student council office.
"Excuse me." He walked into the office.
