10. First task – 03

The top floor of the main student building located in the very center of Nineveh, and right in front of the student council room located there.

Jin, who was standing in front of the door leading to the student council room, sighed heavily with a confused expression on his face.

“Gearly, this day has come to me.”

There may be people who don’t, but the majority of people who exist in the world often attach a lot of meaning to being ‘first’.

First book, first movie, first friend, first love, first kiss-

… And the first work that I can only think of as a dog.

Even if I don’t, I’m getting old like this and wake up every 7 in the morning, and I’m not satisfied with taking classes with the little ones, but now I’m degraded to work after school.

As Jin clicks his tongue in an unknown sense of shame, Erekaya in his head throws a question to him as if he doesn’t know.

– I just can’t understand. After all, all you have to do in the student council room is chores at most, so why are you making so much noise? And this is what you have to do, and complaining won’t change anything.

“no… I just hate having to go to work somewhere on time. For example, other people forcing my actions, or waking up horns every morning… something like that.”

– … … ?

Should I say that he is too naive, or is he a model student from the very beginning, so he can’t understand Jin’s heart, a delinquent student?

To Jin, Erekaya’s appearance could only be seen as an ignorant rich girl.

Damn, if you went through 12 years of elementary, middle and high school and 2 years of military service, you would understand what I’m talking about.

If you have the experience of living like that for 14 years of unification, it will inevitably remain as a trauma even after 100 years!

Of course, knowing all too well that grumbling like this only hurts his snout, in the end, he resigned himself to everything and quietly opened the door to the student council room.

student council room.

A space where nothing useless exists, and was created solely to handle business.

The arrangement of the objects placed there, the shape, and all of them pursue only practicality, so there are no scattered or useless objects here.

And in the center of the space, in the middle, was a woman named Erekaya del Pendragon, sitting at her desk and doing some work with papers in her hand.

“…..”

This is not a place where people live. That’s why it was extremely difficult to find a human touch or anything warm anywhere in this room.

But even so, far from giving the feeling of being desolate, this place was just full of incomprehensible purity and tranquility.

Because the woman sitting over there named Erekaya Del Pendragon was making this space that way.

A single ray of sunlight coming through the crack of the slightly open window, assimilated with Erekaya, made this space more gentle.

And Jin just looked at her like that without saying anything for a while.

I thought that if I rushed into this space, I might break the atmosphere that currently surrounds the student council room.

“… Oh, Jin. You are finally here.”

But at that moment, Erekaya notices that Jin has entered the student council room and smiles at him.

She always hardens her face and makes only hard and strict expressions when dealing with others, but gives a warm smile to Jin.

“… uh, uh yes.”

Well, it’s the first day I go to work for the student council, so it must be because they’re considerate of me in their own way. It will never be like that because I am special.

So, don’t do anything strange. Because in the past two months, there was a record of being sufficiently educated about the female mind from Erekaya in her head.

“But that… why are you wearing glasses? Did you actually have poor eyesight?”

Jin, who was at a loss for what to say, pointed to the glasses Erekaya was wearing and hurriedly opened his mouth.

“yes? Ah, these glasses? No big deal. It’s just that my eyesight is so good that I wear these glasses when I’m working.”

“… Is your eyesight too good?”

“yes. After reaching the level of a master, my eyesight has greatly improved, so even very small letters look very large even if I don’t want to. Even if you don’t know it in normal times, even when you’re doing business, the efficiency of your work gets worse, so these glasses are a tool for those times.”

After answering without hesitation while wearing glasses, Jin came to think that Erekaya looked very intelligent today.

The Erekaya in his head really feels like an idiot, but why the hell is the Erekaya in the current time so intelligent and sharp?

– What an impolite remark. I have always been intelligent and smart. If it wasn’t for my help right away, I’m going to have a good time with my mouth on a topic that I wouldn’t have reached this far.

‘Considering the level of your remarks, you don’t seem intelligent at all.’

Jin, who grumbled at Erekaya once, asks her a question as if he had suddenly remembered.

“But now that I think about it, should I use honorifics for you in this student council room?”

“Polite word?”

“uh. That… The other day, not only our classmate, Shura, but also Celica, who is one year above you, called you the president and gave you the honorific title. If so, I wonder if I should use honorifics for you too.”

No matter how much it is, it is a rule in Nineveh that classmates use each other’s friendly language, but that principle does not seem to be used in the student council.

Well, it’s not that I don’t understand. No matter how much it is an organization among students, if there is no upper and lower division among the members and they talk to each other, it will not be an organization, but just a private club.

Crucially, since this is Nineveh, Jin can talk to Erekaya, and if it was a different place, Jin wouldn’t have dared to look at Erekaya’s face, so using honorifics wouldn’t be too bad…

“Respectful words… .”

Erekaya, who was pondering something at Jin’s words, soon nodded her head once as if his words were correct.

“Well, I guess. Unfortunately, here I am not just Erekaya, a member of Class A, but Erekaya, the student council president who oversees all students in Nineveh. As long as the other student council officers treat me as president and treat me with respect, you have to follow suit. As I am the student council president and you are also a member of the student council, it is impossible to treat only you specially and give preferential treatment.”

“Then should I use respect from you from now on? No, should I use it?”

But that was the time. In response to the question Jin asked without much thought, Erekaya, who had just risen from her seat, quietly approached him.

“no.”

Indeed, Erekaya, who answered in a quiet and low tone, raised one of her fingers and gently placed it on Jin’s lips.

“… ah.”

She could feel Erekaya’s slender fingers above her lips. Her fingers were very warm, and for some reason they seemed to smell good.

At that sudden skinship, when Jin didn’t know what to do and stiffened his body, Erekaya chuckled and smiled.

“It’s okay if you don’t have to use honorifics. Because right now, in the student council room, there are only the two of us, right?”

“I don’t know if there are other people around, but when it’s just the two of us like this, there’s no need to use respect. No, I don’t want you to use it.”

“It’s not as much as in front of you, or rather, it’s in front of you, so that kind of specialness… I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Erekaya’s fingers carefully dropped from Jin’s lips.

magic is broken After Erekaya’s finger fell off, Jin was able to move his body again.

“So let’s keep this a secret between the two of us. A secret that no one else knows, that only the two of us know.”

“… uh. yes.”

… In an instant, I was overwhelmed. Just now, Erekaya, who was reflected in Jin’s field of vision, was showing a very alluring figure.

Was Erekaya Del Pendragon always like that? No, before that, he was so afraid of a kid in his late teens that he couldn’t even move properly?

‘Were you originally like this in the past? Or what, is it a period of stormy rage?’

– … No, I’m not sure about this either. At this point, no matter how well you and I treat each other, we will be nothing more than friends. And at this time, I must have very old-fashioned values about skinship between men and women, even if they are friends… .

Just as Jin and Erekaya in her head were confused and were talking to each other, Erekaya turned her body around and picked up the papers that were on her desk.

“Come to think of it, I said this the other day. The next time you officially go to work at the student council, I will tell you what to do.”

“It was.”

“Unfortunately, there is nothing for you to do today. Well, the student council isn’t always overflowing with things to do, and some days can even be free like this.”

It’s actually a lie. In today’s student council, as a ‘secretary’, there was nothing that Jin had to do.

However, it was only that Erekaya had taken care of all the work before Jin arrived at the student council.

Didn’t Erekaya come here to do chores in the first place?

“Well… Anyway, today is the first day, so it’s a little uncomfortable to go home without doing anything. Is there really nothing I can do?”

When Jin said that as if he was a little embarrassed, Erekaya looked at him with a gaze that did not understand the meaning.

“… Actually, there is only one thing you can do for me.”

“yes? What?”

“But are you okay? This is quite annoying, and above all, it can take up a lot of time, so I don’t really recommend it.”

“No, I’m fine. Doesn’t that mean that if I don’t do it, you’ll have to do it yourself? Even if you look at it like this, you are now one of the members of the student council, but you can’t just leave everything to the student council president.”

In fact, having more time to spend with Erekaya is a good thing for Jin.

Because he didn’t come here just to pass the time, but because he had the purpose of building intimacy by spending time with her.

Even though it’s trivial like this, if you spend time together and build up small memories, the hurdles for capturing her in the future will inevitably be lowered.

“It’s nothing. In fact, many of the supplies for the student council run out, so we need to replenish them.”

“There are many things that are not handled inside Nineveh, so I think we have to go out and buy things ourselves… ”

“… That we have to go out and buy things together?”

uh… So, to sum up Erekaya’s words in one word… .

Does this mean that after school, a couple of a man and a woman go out alone and go shopping together?

And maybe… What do people in the world call the act of a man and a woman going shopping together-

‘Isn’t this a date?’

No matter how you think about it, this seems like date time with Erekaya?
