The end of the school year was approaching and the Tokyo Chancellor’s Officers was receiving a 2nd Special Duty Officer. Not only that…

“It’s a transfer student from Kansai, which is in such a tense state of late.”

Our living room felt so cramped when decorated with chains of colored paper and a confetti ball. I stayed by the wall, watching the girls make a big fuss.

“I wonder what kind of person they are. I hope it’s a cute girl,” I said.

“Your overly honest instincts are going to get you into trouble one of these days. Get even further out of our way.”

“Yes, you should really learn your place. And look in a mirror.”

“I might think better of you if you weren’t like this, you know? You’re such an idiot.”

Wow. They were insulting me in stereo with a center speaker.

“I wonder what kind of Kansai person is coming.”

“I bet they’re a really good straight man.”

''Maybe so,'' I thought while looking out the window. I noticed something running away in a hurry, making me wonder if something had happened.

The others noticed too and stopped working. In order to calm everyone’s nerves, I demonstrated my highly refined wit.

“ ‘They say they’re redoing their fencing next door.’ ‘Really? En garde!’ ”

No sooner were the words out of my mouth than the wall behind me was blasted away for the punchline.

I looked back while being crushed like paper and saw a big red American car driven by a tall blond guy with a pompadour.

“Huh? This is the Tokyo Chancellor’s Officers’ living room, right? Anyway, they called me the Boss at my old school. Nice to meet you all.”

Everyone pointed down toward me. And…

“That’s a wall, not a fence.”

'''Author Comment:

The Boss’s introduction chapter.

With Senpai being the way he is, I think the Officers were mostly girls until now.

It was probably a relief for the protagonist to have another boy with them.

Even if that boy arrived with a really powerful tsukkomi.
