Ordinary I and Extraordinary Them - CH 150

I was facing a girl who was sitting across the table with Yuuto beside her.

A night had passed since our discussion from yesterday.

In the end, after treating them to dinner at my house, I just confirmed one last time, just as a final check, and then we went our ways.

As I was discussed, I asked Yuuto to sit on the same seat as Shiraishi when we participated in today’s discussion.

“It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?”

“Yeah… it’s a beautiful sunny day, not too hot and humid, I agree.”

“…”

An empty conversation…

Since it was the first time for both them talking to each other, a question-and-answer session continued.

About 15 minutes have passed so far.

I didn’t want to interfere with the conversation as much as needed, but at this rate, the conversation seemed like it was going in just endless circles.

I asked Yuuto because I thought he was the most suitable for this kind of situation among the three of them, but I guess he wasn’t the correct choice.

Yuuto’s speaking style is the same as it has always been, first exchanging information about each other, and then starting from a place of mutual familiarity before moving deeper into the conversation.

He doesn’t do this intentionally but naturally, which is what makes him so great at it, but on the other hand, it is Shiraishi who does it in the exact opposite manner.

Shiraishi answers it in a matter-of-fact to the questions she would have had anticipated in advance, and then asks related questions.

I thought that they could get to know each other quickly as they were so similar, but, instead I feel that they, instead, are growing distant from each other.

“How do you spend your days off, Ogiwara-senpai?”

“I hang out with friends, and then I work out at the gym.”

“It is looking like a blind date…*sigh*”

At this rate, the question would be, “What are your hobbies?” a classic in these situations.

When I tried to butt in with a petty remark, they turned their gaze toward me.

Their eyes seemed to pleading for rescue.

“Ah… you two would have probably finished your introductions by now, so let’s get down to business.”

I took on the role of a facilitator, which I am not very good at, and continued.

My words made their faces a bit serious.

Shiraishi leaned forward, and Yuuto leisurely leaned his body against the backrest.

However, his eyes were serious.

“In conclusion… it is difficult to make the three of them, including Yuuto, join the student council.”

“I see…”

Hearing my words, Shiraishi looked at Yuuto for once and smiled sadly.

I guess she expected it to some extent and was not greatly surprised.

From her point of view, I guess she was wondering how I would try to recover my image.

So, what Shiraishi is waiting for is the next word.

I told her about another possibility.

I haven’t yet talked about the executive committee to Shiraishi.

“So… as an alternative, I think you can work in the same organization, albeit for a limited time, as a head of the Sakura Committee in the second semester.”

“Sakura committee…?”

I know that this is a different proposal from Shiraishi’s idea of wanting to work with Yuuto and his group as a student council.

But even so, I couldn’t come up with a plan that would satisfy everyone.

This is the most ideal of the bunch.

…Most ideal, a solution that meets the minimum requirements for everyone’s needs.

Next, I tried to give an explanation, but Shiraishi seemed to have guessed my intentions in just a few words.

How did you come up with this idea?

“I’m sure that as a member of the executive committee, I can work together with all of them…”

“Then you’ll have to give up on being in the student council.”

“If I remember correctly, the executive committee and the student council are two different entities, even though they cooperate with each other.”

The title of “Committee head” is not something too big to be honest…

I guess she already had the knowledge about the school events.

Well, I just gave her the nickname “Committee head” at random.

Shiraishi was thinking about my proposal and fell silent on the spot.

Hopefully, she won’t notice the thing which I fear the most.

The question that Shizuku asked me at dinner yesterday.

That was the first question that Yuuto, Shizuku, and Kirasaka all had in their minds when they heard it from me.

After I split up with them, I went over it again and again in my room, but it was a problem that I couldn’t handle on my own.

“Suppose …if I join the Sakura committee and am elected to the student council. That won’t cause problems, would it?”

“…”

She noticed it after all.

Sigh… now I’ll have to do double work.

Shiraishi pointed out if it’s possible to hold down the jobs of Sakura committee member and student council officer at the same time.

If she had been aware of this when she had approached the president to be on the Sakura committee, there wouldn’t have been an issue at all, but she was unaware of it.

Perhaps she was a little too excited.

It is rare for me to be asked for help, and it is also rare for me to cooperate with others, so I could have easily noticed this point if I had repeated my usual mental question-answer session.

As I was thinking of how to respond to her, Yuuto, who was next to me, opened his mouth.

“There won’t cause much trouble, would it??”

“And what do you mean by that?”

Shiraishi asked again at Yuuto’s words.

I, too, waited for Yuuto’s word.

“I don’t think there would be a problem since President Hiiragi hasn’t yet told anything to Minato who she had elected herself.”

Yuuto’s words obviously seemed like they wanted to persuade someone.

But they were also words enough for any student attending Sakuranaoka Academy.

Akane Hiiragi is always right.

She has been absolutely supportive and has achieved results to the extent that her words, deeds, and actions are never wrong.

That is why Shiraishi was silenced by just those words.

As if to push her into a corner, Yuuto smiled gently and told her.

“That said… I’m not too keen on the idea of joining the student council, and to be honest, I think I’d probably say no… though I’d be interested in joining the Sakura committee with you, Shiraishi-san.

“…!?”

Done, it’s over.

Ogiwara Yuuto’s signature move – ‘The Lady-killer smile’.

The rumor on the street is that this special move is sure to make any woman, not just those in his grade, blush.

Shiraishi was no exception and turned over with a slight blush on her cheeks.

The only ones who were unaffected by this smile were probably only Shizuku and Kirasaka.

The two should not be considered the same as the average students, anyway

It looked like she was asking me to come closer, so I approached her… then she whispered in a low voice.”

“C-could it is that Ogiwara-senpai is a womanizer!?”

“…That’s just the way it is.”

“…That’s just the way it is!? If it had been the normal me, I would’ve died of cringe.”

Does this guy have two personalities, the normal and the unusual one…

Let me take back my previous statement.

It seems that Shizuku and Kirasaka were not the only two who should not be thought of as ordinary ones.

There was another student here who I should include in that list.
