The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

218. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [15]

The president hurriedly hid her unexpectedly exposed chest, and sank into silence.

「……」

「……」

And once again, an indescribable silence dominates the place.

(Something is wrong after all. She doesn’t tell me the results of fortune-telling, and has been talking and acting crazy since a little while ago.)

(I just intended to emphasize my chest for a moment, but… I-I never thought even my underwear would be seen. B-But I was able to ask him! Milk chocolate! That’s right, I am going to present milk chocolate!)

She looked embarrassed and happy at the same time.

I decided to ask the president, who had such mixed expressions, directly.

「President. In fact, isn’t there『something』you want to tell me?」I asked, looking straight into her eyes.

「Eh? N-No, it’s, uhh…」

The president’s eyes darted around in confusion.

This reaction… I guess I hit the bull’s eye.

「It’s all right, please rest assured. I’m prepared to accept anything. So, if you want, you can talk to me without keeping it to yourself.」

When I said with a serious expression,

「…………O-Okay.」

She looked straight at me as if she had made up her mind.

「I, actually……」

「Actually…」

「How do I say this, I… L-Lo…」

「Lo…?」

And the president, whose face was flushed even to her ears,

「S-Sorry. I will tell you some other time!.」

For some reason, she shouted that and ran out of the student council room.

「Eh, uh…?」

When I was left alone dumbfounded, I sensed a slight presence leaking out from the closet.

(…What?)

When I opened the door suspiciously, there were Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai who were desperately trying to hold back their laughter.

「「……Ah.」」

It seems that they hid themselves there by hiding their presence.

(I see…)

It seems that the mischievous senpais are involved in this case.

「Lilim-senpai, Ferris-senpai. Is it because of you two that the president’s behaviour has been strange these days?」

When I asked them with a smile,

「No, no, not at all… That’s a false accusation! That’s because of Sie’s『lack of experience』!」

「Y-Your smile is scary, Allen-kun. A-Anyway, that evil darkness leaking out from your body is unsettling, so I want you to take it back in, though!」

They shook their heads and appealed for their innocence.

「Haa… So what does this lack of experience mean?」

「How do I say this… It’s that thing called the『wall of youth』that every maiden hits once in her lifetime.」

「I can’t go into details. But you don’t have to worry so much though.」

「I see…」

To be honest, I don’t really get it, but….

Anyway, the problem that the president has seems not to be dangerous.

Just understanding that is a great harvest.

「By the way, why were you two hiding in this place?」

The closet is a place to store student council documents and equipment. It is not a space for the senpais to hide secretly.

「Uh… About that…」

「D-Don’t worry about the minor details. Anyway, I want you to look forward to the『appointed day』though!」

The next moment, Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai rushed out of the student council room.

「Ah, wait…!」

「Fuhaha, farewell!!!」

「We’ll meet again tomorrow though!!!」

And they ran off down the corridor.

It would be easy to catch up to them, but…

Because it is dangerous to run in the corridor at such speeds, I decided to let it go.

「Haa… But what the hell was that?」

Why were Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai hiding in the closet?

In the end, why was the president behaving so suspiciously?

And that mysterious『appointed day』mentioned by Ferris-senpai at the end.

To be honest, there are so many things I don’t understand.

(But I’m really glad that the president isn’t going through a big problem on her own again.)

This amount of suspicious behavior… I’m sure that trio of good friends are planning a prank on me still not having learned their lesson.

(Well, if that’s all that’s going on, I don’t mind going along with it.)

It will soon be a year since I entered Thousand Blade Academy. I’m getting used to their pranks.

And having confirmed that the thing that I’ve been worrying about for the past month was nothing serious,

「Well then, it’s about time to resume swinging!」

After that, I kept swinging my sword till dark.
