Chapter 63. This time, it has to be in front of the young lady...
On the way to the student council, you'll pass the brass band. The chaotic sounds of various instruments mixed together make Kaoru cover her ears and instinctively quicken her pace.
I walked down the stairs, through the corridor, and came to the outside of the school building.
After the fourth period, many students gathered in the center of the courtyard to eat their lunches. Because the sunlight was blocked by the surrounding buildings, the temperature felt noticeably cooler. A breeze would blow from time to time, and the sound of the cherry blossom branches swaying could be heard.
In spring, students can dine in an environment filled with cherry blossoms. As the summer approaches, the cherry trees can be used to cool off. Kosaki High School cannot do without cherry trees, and even the school emblem is shaped like a cherry blossom.
"Mizukami-kun, do you know? When spring comes and I appear here, the moment the wind blows, the cherry blossoms will bury me in a flurry of petals. They will be so dense that you can only look up at the sky through the gaps between the petals, and you won't even be able to see my face."
Xun lowered her hands from her ears and enjoyed the comfortable temperature at the end of May.
Upon arriving at the student council entrance, after knocking on the door, a girl with pink hair and large-framed glasses poked her head out, her gaze meeting that of a boy behind the door who was a head taller than her.
"I am a member of the Kendo Club."
Kaoru showed her the letter left by the student council.
"Regarding the decision to abolish the kendo club, I have questions as a member. Could I possibly meet with the student council president?"
"Oh... okay, but the president isn't here. I'll pass on the message for you."
Kaoru suppressed the urge to barge in, and seeing the same somber expression on the young lady's face beside her, she patiently continued to ask.
"Do you know his whereabouts?"
"The school will be holding a social gathering with a neighboring school next week. The president plans to invite the heads of various clubs to the gathering, and he has been working on this matter recently."
The young lady remained silent.
However, judging from her noticeably calmer expression, the other party was not lying.
The door was closed.
Before informing President Yanagi about this matter, Kaoru planned to go to the kendo club.
To his surprise, the young lady seemed to sense his thoughts and followed behind him.
Captain Yanagi spends most of her time practicing in the kendo club, so finding her is easy. Kaoru knocks on the door and hears a "Come in" from inside, so he opens the door.
As expected, Yanagi Shita, dressed in a black taekwondo uniform, gripped the hilt of a bamboo sword, which sliced through the air. Each strike was accompanied by a powerful shout from her.
"Minister, I have something to tell you."
Kaoru placed the letter on the table beside her, weighed it down with a ballpoint pen, and then moved a chair over and sat down.
Upon hearing his voice, Liu Shizhi Liuli put down her bamboo sword and ran over expectantly.
"Kaoru-kun... That's great, I thought you'd never come back."
Like a real girlfriend, Yanagi sat on Kaoru's lap without any restraint, her slightly higher gaze fixed on the face in front of her, her breathing becoming erratic.
Just then, the door to the activity room was opened again.
Having just returned from the restroom, Mizukami Orina looked around but couldn't find any other seats. She leaned against the wall, watching the two people behaving intimately with a cold expression.
"Yanagi no Shita, I was worried about you before, worried that this guy would use defeating you as an excuse to do something bad to you, but now it seems that I have no need to worry at all."
Even after seeing the young lady appear, Yanagi no Shita still had no intention of letting go of Kaoru, burying her face in the body's embrace and speaking as if showing off.
"If it's Kaoru, it doesn't matter if he does bad things to me, because he's my boyfriend now... and it's a relationship that Kaoru is willing to acknowledge."
As she spoke, she raised her face and stared at Xun's somewhat nervous expression.
"Kaoru-kun... don't forget, you're the one who told me to call you that."
"Ahem, well... Minakami-kun, let me explain."
The young lady frowned, lowered her voice, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"Hoshino-kun, I've seen through you completely. You're like a cat that never lets go of a mouse that's right in front of it. Even if you're full and your stomach is bulging, you'll still dangle your teeth into your prey's body with a playful attitude, watching them struggle and resist in front of you."
"No... I'm not that kind of person!"
Just as Kaoru was about to push away the department head Yanagi Shinobu who was snuggling against her, her hands unexpectedly touched the softest part of her body. Caught off guard, Yanagi Shinobu grabbed his collar with both hands and spoke in a seductive voice.
"Kaoru-kun... this time, in front of the young lady... The person I respect most is right in front of me... and I'm going to have to expose that shameful side of myself completely... At that time, even the dignity of a samurai will be trampled on like trash... Being treated like that... I definitely won't be the first to break down..."
As if a switch had been flipped, Yanagi no Shita leaned in without any hesitation.
Their lips met, and their warmth was clearly transmitted to each other.
Kaoru was startled by her sudden action and froze. She instinctively tried to resist, but Minister Yanagi felt that this was not enough and tried even harder to make a misunderstood sound from deep in her throat.
"Um...! Minister... please stop..."
As soon as Xun made a sound, an even more humid and warmer sensation filled her mouth.
After being forced to exchange saliva with Minister Yanagi no Shinobu, his body was finally able to receive the brain's signals and react. He struggled to stand up from the other's control and temporarily broke free.
"Kaoru-kun...don't stop."
Yanagi was unhappy that he had broken free from her without her consent. Seeing that she was about to pounce on him again, Kaoru hurriedly placed the letter on the table in front of her face.
"Wait a minute, Minister! Look at this... This is a notice from the student council. The Kendo Club will be abolished next month!"
"The Kendo Club... is it going to be abolished?"
After belatedly realizing the meaning of those words, Yanagi no Shita paused for a moment before looking at the letter that Kaoru had shown her.
The above notice...
The Kendo Club will be abolished this month.
"What happened?"
Her previously blank stare quickly returned to normal. She sat down in a nearby seat and stared at the letter in front of her, examining it repeatedly.
She quickly became convinced that it was true, lowered her head, and began to remain silent.
Seeing that she had returned to normal, Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
The door to the activity room was open; the young lady had already left.
Kaoru planned to return to the classroom, but seeing the dejected look on President Yanagi's face, he couldn't ignore it.
He stretched out his right hand, feeling unsure what to do with it, so he could only symbolically pat her shoulder.
"Captain, as a member of the Kendo Club, I will not allow the Kendo Club to disband!"
"Kaoru-kun...really?"
"Trust me, I'm heading back now. See you later."
"Oh... okay... I believe Kaoru-kun."
The door to the activity room was closed.
