Nanami looks around and takes a small sigh.

“Look at this Goshujin-sama. A group of those lower life forms is looking our way.”

Was it because of the official announcement? I feel like I am getting a lot more attention than before. I don’t think the situation changed that much though. Was it because I am originally the center of attention in the first place? Rather,

“Oi, haven’t you returned to your default setting?”

Even so, what a nostalgic word. When we first met she wanted to call everyone besides me a lower life form. Rather, this is the first time I saw someone using the word lower life form to call someone outside of anime and manga.

“No, of course, Normally I would not be using such a word to describe a person like that. I just call the lower life forms as the lower life forms they are after all. For me, everything that looks down on or is hostile toward Goshujin-sama is categorized as a lower life form though…….?

“Can you stop replying it like it is a matter of course? I’m happy that you think so much about me though.”

Well, since she only highlighted the word lower life form, it seems she is doing that to agitates them on purpose……probably.

“Can’t be helped then….I will be more careful. Well then, let’s get back to the main subject. Goshujin-sama is attracting a lot of attention right now so I think this is a chance. I have prepared a selfie stick for you.”

“You let a lot slide away huh. So, what is it about this selfie stick?”

That’s the most unnecessary item I can think of here.

“Let’s take a commemorative photo with them as the background.”

So you are going to upload such a picture. We are not live streaming artist you know?

And you want to use the selfie stick because you want to be fully included in the picture as well right? Well, I do want to take a picture with her though. But when I carefully think about it…..

“Well, it seems useful if you want to stir those people up huh.”

“It is a chance to show them that Goshujin-sama is different from them.”

“Such a strange and simple thing to do. Well, it might suit my character huh.”

Nanami takes out a selfie stick. So she actually has it. Even so, why does the selfie stick has [NANAMI LOVE] engraved on it? Oi, did you used my money on something USELESS again?

“Unu, just when I wonder who it is, isn’t that you Kousuke.”

I and Nanami turn to look at the person who called out to us. The person who is standing there is a beauty in Japanese kimono who has no regard toward the academy uniform, Shion-san.

When we already gathered so much attention to ourselves, I can feel that it has increased even more.

Shion-san coming toward us while raising her folding fan to cover her nose and knitting her eyebrows.

“Even so, this place sure is stink. Must be the smell of the insects around here.”

Her mouth is as bad as Nanami’s. She refers to others as an insect like a strong enemy character in the game. Well, from the normal student’s point of view she is practically an enemy already, Shion-san is a strong character on the main heroine level so she is out of their reach though. Even so, what’s with this insect’s smell stuff?

Shion-san doesn’t actually think there is such a smell. Of course, that was just an act. She is not a person who would speak ill of another for no reason. If I ask her she would definitely say [I wonder what kind of smell it is, I don’t even know myself WaHahahaha].

This person is actually quite polite after all.

When Shion-san noticed Nanami’s selfie stick,

“Hou, Nanami. Quite an interesting thing you have there.”

She said so and laugh.

“If you want to take a commemorative photo then you don’t need that, you know”

Then, she moves her line of sight toward the school building and takes the smartphone out from the stick.

She walks toward the place that people are gathering together and says: [Hey, we are taking a commemorative photo here so get out of the way]. As expected, it doesn’t seem like they are that willing to move away but if someone suddenly told you to piss off then normally you would get angry right?

As soon as the place opened up, Nanami says: [Then I will take the picture]. As I was about to walk toward the open space, I grab Nanami’s hand and shake my head.

“No, let’s take it together Nanami.”

If we are going to take it anyway then it’s better to have everyone in it. We have a selfie stick as well.

Nanami looks at the surrounding reaction and smiles happily. Was it because there are Nanami’s fans here or they just dislike me for flirting with these beautiful women, I can feel the angry gazes coming my way even more than before.

WaHaHa

Noticing Nanami’s aim, Shion-san also starts laughing.

“That’s right, let’s take it, let’s take it. You don’t have to take the picture for us Nanami, we can just leave it to those guys over there, right. They have their uses after all.”

Hearing her, an idea came to me.

“Taking a picture together like this makes me want to take a picture with all the Shikibukai members.”

“Right. Well, it’s hard for us to gather together though……. Then once we filled up the remaining first-year slot, should I try calling out to them?”

Shion-san calls the second-year student who was trying to sneak away to a stop and hand her the smartphone. On my left is Shion-san, On my right is Nanami, and me at the center. The three of us took a pose with our weapons and took a lot of pictures. Then after we have a number of photos, Shion-san finally lets her go.

“That took quite some time.”

I muttered so Nanami nods and tell me the time.

The afternoon classes will be in session soon so the people around us started to thin out. Seeing the still relaxed Shion-san, I was about to ask her about her afternoon class. Well, since it’s Shion-san, it wouldn’t be weird if she were to join it midway through.

While Shion-san transferring the photos, she confirmed that no one was around and let out a small laugh.

“Thanks to you I can do the thing that I wanted to do for a long time.”

Because I was thinking about something else, I tilt my head wondering what she is talking about.

“Well, I was talking about her.”

Apparently, she was talking about the second-year student who took the picture for us.

Shion-san takes out a purse from her pocket and continues talking while closing her smartphone.

“I know her, she has trouble with relationships you see, so I try forcefully getting some sympathy for her. It would be good if it works out though.”

Hearing her light explanation, I give her an understanding nod. It seems like that girl has been isolated so Shion-san gave her a helping hand.

“That’s why you purposely make her take our photos……I’m sure it will work out.”

Since Shion-san made her took our photos, I’m sure that there would be someone who starts to sympathize with her

Then, in return, she gathered the ill will that has been directed toward the girl to herself.

Well, that’s something the Shikibukai would do.

Depending on the case, they might start thinking [Let’s stop bullying her since she was targeted by the Shikibukai] after all, if it turns out like that then the student council can move in to protect her. If everything goes well then the reputation of the student council will improve as well.

By the way, that act should be more effective in letting them know that I am now a part of the Shikibukai. To let them witness it themselves would be more effective than some letters written on the bulletin board. Letting them know that I am on good terms with Shion-san from Shikibukai is definitely more impactful.

Moreover, reacting to such an impact, the reputation of the student council will rise while the Shikibukai managed to protect that student, it’s a winwinwin.

“That’s right, we are doing well in collecting all those malice. I am such a wicked woman……..WaHaHaHa!”

Shion-san said such a self-deprecating thing but is that really true? Certainly, Shion-san is being called a wicked woman but if you get to know her then there’s no way that you could see her as such a villain. Rather, as you get closer to her she is a woman who you would keep liking her more and more. That’s my impression of her.

“Seriously, everyone is so blinded. No matter how hard they try, they wouldn’t be able to find a finer woman than Shion-san anywhere else.”

I really like her straight-forward personality. I also love how she is actually a kind and caring person. As a matter of fact, she is one of my dozens of waifus.

This must be why Sempai gets along so well with Shion-san. The fact that she often plays pranks on people might be her flaw though. However, I think that part of her is nice too.

“What is it, suddenly flattering me like that? I won’t give you anything you know?”

“Oops my apologies, I blurted my thoughts out loud. I am not aiming for anything Shion-san.”

“Ho, what a smooth talker you are.”

But.., Shion-san continues.

“I understand it now.”

“What is it?”

“Since I am normally the target of slander, hearing such a thing once in a while is making me happy.”

Saying so Shion-san starts laughing and hit my back.

“Wahahahaha, I sure have got myself a cute and caring Junior. Come to think of it, are you heading to the moon palace?”

“Yes, I have to talk about something in the future with Lord Benito and Sempai. I want to talk with Ludi after that too.”

Well, I can talk to Ludi and Sempai at home though.

“I see, I am also heading to the moon palace as well. Alright, let’s go.”
