"It's weird. Is there really no one inside?"
Shirogane was confused, but in the end, he decided to give up and decided to go to the staff room since he didn't bring the key.
However, inside the student council room, Ishigami could feel his heart beating so fast, wondering what kind of situation he was caught in. In front of this door was Shirogane, the one who had saved him and the one who loved Kaguya the most in the world, yet here he was, being hugged by Kaguya.
If Shirogane knew, then—
Ishigami didn't dare to imagine, especially when he knew how fragile Shirogane's mind was. Lowering his head, he could see her slender, white arms that tightly clung to him, slightly trembling due to nervousness, which made him calm.
In this situation, he knew that he shouldn't panic, and what he had to do was quietly wait until Shirogane left.
"Senpai, Kaichou isn't here anymore."
When Shirogane left, Ishigami had to remind Kaguya that she hadn't let him go. While he didn't directly say what he wanted to say, he knew that she should have understood the meaning behind his words. Still, while he knew that this was wrong, the situation made it hard for him to stay calm.
The gentle scent from her, the softness of her body, and her hands that were almost touching the part that shouldn't be touched anymore, all of those factors made him recall their last exchange in the empty classroom.
In that room, except for the two of them, Hayasaka was there, but even so, Kaguya tenderly held his 19 cm carrot.
That thought occupied his mind before he calmed himself and couldn't help but remind Kaguya for the second time.
"Senpai."
"Sorry, Ishigami... I am just nervous and don't know what to do..."
When Kaguya let him go, she said those words softly, showing how nervous she was.
"No, you are right. I might have made the wrong decision before."
Unlike him, who thought that they didn't think anything wrong, Kaguya might not be able to calm herself when she had to meet Shirogane directly. After all, the two had stayed in the student council room alone and locked the door even if the door of this room wasn't supposed to be locked.
Even if they didn't do anything wrong, there was this guilty feeling that somehow emerged within their hearts.
However, while Ishigami was calm and had thought of a way to solve this situation, Kaguya should have panicked, thinking that he was too hasty, especially when his image hadn't been known to be reliable.
While he felt a bit helpless, Kaguya's reaction was understandable.
This was what he truly wished to believe instead of the other possibility that he didn't want to think.
"Then, I will go back now."
"Um, be careful. Don't say something weird."
"I won't."
While Ishigami was a bit nervous, he turned his head to see Kaguya's expression, and, watching her smile that was filled with helplessness, he sighed in relief, then left quietly after making sure that no one was around.
"See you later."
"Um, see you later."
Meanwhile, Kaguya stayed there alone as she took a long, deep breath.

"Senpai..."
Ishigami knew that Kaguya was attractive, and he also owed a lot of things to her, but even so, he didn't dare to approach her.
Kaguya's family aside, the thought of making a move on the heroine who was loved by the person who had saved him during his most pathetic moment made him feel disgusted at himself.
Yes, Ishigami knew that he might not be a good person, but even so, he had a bottom limit.
"Ah, Ishigami."
Ishigami, who was looking down, was startled when he heard this voice. When he looked up, he quickly adjusted his mind and greeted this person with a gentle smile. "Kaichou."
"Did you just come from the student council?" Shirogane showed a helpless expression and said, "Fujiwara-san must have locked the door, but you don't have to worry. I have brought the key." When he said so, he showed the key to the student council room that he had picked up.
"That's good."
Ishigami smiled as if he was glad that Shirogane had picked up the key. Still, at this moment, when there were only the two of them, he didn't hesitate and asked, "By the way, Kaichou, how was the date plan that I have made? Did you have fun yesterday?"
'As expected,' there was this kind of expression on Shirogane's face when he heard Ishigami's question, but then again, while he had expected this, the happy smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
"W-Well, it wasn't bad at all. If you bring the one you like with the date plan, I think that it will be okay."
"Really?"
"Yes." Shirogane patted Ishigami's shoulder and showed a gentle smile on his face. "So, do your best."
"Yes."
Still, while Shirogane tried to encourage his junior, he couldn't help but think about his love life, which was a mess. Unlike Ishigami, who dared to express his feelings, he didn't dare at all, and if possible, he wanted Kaguya to make the first move.
Was he a coward?
Some might think so, but if Ishigami knew what Shirogane thought, he would shake his head since it was perfectly normal for one to feel nervous about expressing their feelings since no one wanted to be rejected and waiting for their loved one to make a move was the sure way to win in this type of battle.
"By the way, I heard that you met Kei-chan this morning."
Suddenly, Shirogane changed the topic of the conversation.
Ishigami was stunned and lost his chance to ask about how Shirogane's date with Kaguya was, but he nodded without much thought.
"There was a problem with the chain on her bike this morning, and I helped her."
"Thank you, Ishigami. She told me that you had helped her earlier."
This morning, when Shirogane came to the school, he quickly received a call from his little sister, who told him that Ishigami had helped her. Moreover, she also asked him about Ishigami, and he told her what kind of person this junior was.
If it was before, Shirogane might not have thought much, and he was just glad that Ishigami had helped his little sister when she was troubled.
However, his father's words before made him troubled, especially when he thought that there might be a chance for a love to bloom between Kei and Ishigami, especially with this encounter this morning.
So—
"Say, Ishigami, what do you think of Kei-chan?"
"Kei-chan?" Ishigami thought for a moment and said, "She is a serious and gentle girl, I think. She might be a little stubborn, but that's because I know that she cares about others, so overall, I think she is a good girl."
While he felt weird about why Shirogane asked him this question, Ishigami honestly answered it.
"....."
Shirogane was dumbfounded, but then, while he was struggling, he decided to ask. "D-Do you like her?"
"...do you think I will make a move on a middle school student?"
Ishigami quickly realized where this conversation was going.
"There is only a two-year difference between you two!"
Ishigami's lips twitched when he saw Shirogane suddenly become stubborn. He said, "Then, do you want me to become your brother-in-law or something, Kaichou?" He thought that Shirogane would scold him, but unexpectedly, there was no hesitation in his answer.
"I know you well, so if you really like her, then I hope that you can treat her well."
Instead of having a strange guy seduce his little sister, Shirogane felt like it was better for his little sister to be with Ishigami, especially when he knew Ishigami well.
"..."
What the fuck did you talk about?!
Ishigami's lips twitched, but then someone suddenly interrupted him to make an answer.
"Kaichou, I think that it is impossible for him to become your brother-in-law."
"—?!" 2x
The two turned and saw Kaguya, who happened to walk out from the corridor.
While Shirogane was surprised and felt a bit shy, Ishigami felt awkward.
"Oh, why is that?"
"Well, Ishigami has a girlfriend, after all."
"....."
When those words fell, Ishigami wanted to go back to his class.

By the way, what do you think that one can do with "Pika Pika no Mi" from One Piece? What can a human light do except become light, shoot a laser or radiate light?
