Chapter 91

Keio knew about my standing as Runas fiance candidate, so I summarized what had happened earlier to him.

I explained how I had thought it was cancelled, but it turned out that I was the favored candidate. And then, how I was challenged to a match in the bathroom. Everything superfluous about her Her misunderstanding and how I ended up in the Ozcon.

Im pretty satisfied by how brief I made my summary, but maybe I did throw in some unnecessary details. Im involved in this, how could she not ask me for my consent

It looks like my feelings were properly conveyed to Keito.

I dont get her at all.

Relax, I dont get her either.

I cant find a single ounce of relaxation in me.

I cant help it. I just dont get her at all. Honestly, she was so odd, that I almost suspect it was a dream. It was supposed to be an announced attack, but I feel like a victim to a random attacker.

Even though I turned down the recommendations There was no point.

Eh

They asked me too You know, Runa asked me. He told me to recommend you if you were fine with it.

No way, thats terrifying. Also, good job, Keito. As expected of my childhood friend. I didnt have to say anything and he understood. Seriously, thank you.

Apparently theres supposed to be one candidate that is expected to win by a landslide. At this rate, shell be sure to win, so he said to encourage you to enter.

Whats with that pressure!

A candidate to win Thats probably Christine-sama. She is the poster girl for the drama club, so she has tons of fans. Shes a beauty who can stand next to Runa, after all.

Having me compete with her Was Runa really thinking? I sense that it was his childhood friend working in the shadows. It was definitely that guys suggestion.

I figured youd hate it so I refused, but it looks like it was for nothing.

Thanks and sorry.

Even though he refused for me Sorry, Keito. Wait, it wasnt like this was my fault, right? I did feel a small prickle of guilt though

Its not a big deal that I refused but It looks like you ended up with something bothersome huh.

Seriously

I cant even sigh anymore. My shoulders drooped and I massaged my temples, though there wasnt much of a point.

Lets pretend that its fine Im in a match. If I lose, becoming Runas fiance would be less likely If I think of it like that, its barely manageable.

However, the problem is the contents of the match. If I were the one deciding it, there wouldnt be any problems but This time, the contest is based on appearances, and the audience will be voting for the winner. What should I do? Is there nothing that can be done?

Its hard to withdraw from things like this The student council wanted you to enter, so youll definitely pass the initial judging.

Keitos words were very persuasive, as he had gone to elementary school before. Thats why its hard to look at the facts straightly.

!?

If you hate it that much then how about I talk to Runa?

I sank into silence and then, he patted my head gently. Wait, he messed up my hair. Normally, my hair would get knotted easily but, my hair was tied up right now so it wouldnt get too messy. I didnt feel like protesting it today.

It wasnt any different than normal, but I understood the feelings behind it. The one who understands my troubles the most is Keito.

He wont treat me gently or spoil me, but theres no one who thinks of me more than Keito.

Thanks, Im fine.

Yea, I know We should return quickly or else well miss dinner.

Is it already that late I wonder whats todays daily special.

Are the meals different depending on the dorm?

Hmm Theyre probably the same.

Keito spoke of the topic lightly. His tone was gentle without being persistent.

When Im putting up a brave front, he doesnt try to give me advice, but when Im lost, he properly makes a decision for me. If I say Im fine, he believes in me. Thats because he can see through my lies easily.

Thats why, this time, as far as Keito is concerned, Im fine.

If theres something that I can do, he believes that Ill do it. In other words, theres no one who can tell me Im fine with more confidence than Keito.

With only that, all the hesitation and feelings of loss melted away.

Seriously, I have such a good childhood friend

Hmm? What?

Nothing.

After we separated to go to our respective dorms, I couldnt think of any other counterplans in the end.

What should I do? What do I want to do? I didnt know. It was thanks to Keito that I could sleep peacefully.

And then, after a few days, in the list of Ozcon participants, my name was there.
