The dreaming boy is a genius!?

Cute

"It seems my reputation precedes me... by the way, I take it you're the one to thank for scaring away my cute little junior?"

"Ah, the short one? I didn't mean to scare her off, I simply bumped into her by accident. I do apologise though."

"Quite the formal one aren't you? No need to apologise though, If anything your actions were admirable, thank you for delivering the papers to the staff room for us."

"Pardon, why do you say I shouldn't apologise? Didn't you say I scared her off?"

"Don't be so pessimistic. She took that attitude because she wasn't good with men."

"Senpai, logically speaking, even if it was another female student who was carrying that kind of thing at that place at that time, they would have had the same reaction. In a place that barely has people around, an encounter with a stranger boy will mostly end like that."

"I didn't take you for a realist..."

"I'm merely stating an observation. I'm sure anyone else could do the same... well anyway thank you for allowing me to sit here but I'll be going now."

Shinomiya-senpai, who always pushed toward her ideals, could easily gain the courage to shake off the men around her. As such senpai would not be able to sympathise with the scene between me and that girl. In the first place, I don't think senpai would even have trouble holding something that heavy.. considering her athletic build.

"No, no, wait a moment!"

"Do you perhaps need something senpai?" I say tilting my head slightly to the right.

The cool beauty of the school desperately detained me by grabbing my hand.

"I... I have something I want to ask"

"Hmmm..:"

"Lead the way I suppose."

The inside of the student guidance room is just enough to have a long desk for four people. In such a small room, alone with the beautiful Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee...... any other may jump for joy; however, I can only see this as troublesome.

"That child you bumped into.... her name was Yuyu Inatomi..."

I've heard about her before. I'm sure she is a senior member of the Disciplinary Committee. I've heard rumours that she's small and cute. It's no wonder she's paid special attention from Shinomiya-senpai.

"She's a very hard working girl. She's always done the job she's been asked to do, and she has pride as a disciplinary committee member. If I think about it, even the other members were also like that."

"I see."

"But sometimes they lose their confidence and say some pessimistic things. Anytime they're like that, I always try to encourage them.. but some say that they lose confidence when they see me."

"Even me, who's still a freshman, has seen you stand on the stage several times. You have many achievements and maintain order in the school... so, it's no wonder that there's people who will lose their confidence when shown such a dazzling figure, right?"

"Wa,wait a moment... Don't suddenly praise me straight in front of my face. It'll only make me feel embarrassed..."

"You're missing my point."

"'You can't understand my feelings.', have Inatomi-senpai and the others ever said that to you?"

"Mmm... that's right, they've said that before."

"..."

"Shinomiya-senpai, excuse my rudeness but have you ever not been praised?"

"What are you talking about?"

"For someone like you who has outstanding skills and always receives praise. Giving someone with lesser skills encouragement and suggestions applies pressure onto them."

"When you do something like that it makes them feel inclined to meet your expectations. I'm not saying you have large expectations of them or anything, but, to them they'd feel like they don't want to disappoint their super-senpai."

"....I...I see. So what do you suggest I do instead?"

"It's quite simple isn't it? 'Don't think about it, you'll be fine.' Saying those simple words while giving them a pat on the shoulder."

"Who wouldn't like a pat on the back from their superior while telling them to take it easy?"

I see her face light up in recognition of my words, a bright smile smeared across her face.

"I see! Thank you.. um... what was your name again?"

"Wataru Sajou."

"Noted. Thank you very much Sajou-kun!"

"I didn't do anything, but I suppose you're welcome."

As the blistering heat subsided the sky was dyed a bright merigold, practically clear of clouds. Leaving for a picturesque view one may see inside a famous painting. I was currently enjoying the view on my walk towards home whilst enjoying my vanilla ice cream to cool off from the heat.

".....Wataru?"

A female voice called my name as I stood up near my house.

"Kaede? What about the cram school?"

"I'm not in the mood for that today."

Whenever Kaede was in a bad mood she tended to treat me as she pleased, whilst it is annoying I still can't help but feel some warmth with our banter.

'Is this perhaps what familial love is like?'

Kaede was currently blowing a steamed meat bun as she sat sprawled on the couch almost like a dead victorian plague victim.

"Oi, You... Did you talk to that girl after that happened?"

"..."

She most likely means Natsukawa. Though I don't understand why any interaction between me and Natsukawa should matter to her.

"If you listened to the conversation at that time, you would understand without me saying, right?"

"......"

That day, I remember my sister and mother's reaction after Natsukawa left. Since all of them are women, and the way both of them react to the love affair was not odd. I can't forget their stunned faces when I explained that I wasn't interested in her and I used to have a crush on her before.

I waited for the usual swearing, but my sister didn't say anything and just went on silently.
