===Part 3===

'''After school, before the council meeting, Kurimu Sakurano's situation'''

This day has finally come.

February 14th, Valentine’s day.

The day girls give chocolate to the boys they like. It would be great if it were the opposite.

Anyway anyone as soon as they look at me would say “Kurimu-chan, here’s chocolate for you~~” then give me chocolate, so it’s fine like this. Indeed--Heikyuu Gakuen is heaven, there are many, many good things.

“Here is my harem!”

Throwing the bunch of chocolates holding in my hands on the table, and shouted in a relaxed manner. Hehehe......having so many people being crazy of me is really bothersome. It’s entirely different from a certain vice-president who can only talk!

“OK, from which one should I start!”

Hehehe, my saliva was dripping nonstop. Though each year when I bring them back at home, mom would always say “Oh my, I’ll store them for you, and I’ll take them out when snack time will come.” and then confiscate all of them, so I must really be careful! Though I can’t bring them home, and neither can I hide them......this feeling of excitement is a treasure that I can only experience now!

Like this, I hid in the student council room ahead of everyone, and seized the opportunity to enjoy this feeling. Hn--I feel infatuated, a small mountain of sweets is really awesome. 

(Bzzzzzzzzzzzz--)

“Huh?”

As I was going to start my chocolate appreciation party, my cellphone on vibrating mode started to shake. Feeling that my instant of happyness has been interrupted, I unhappily answered the phone:

“Hello, I wish for you that a fish bone gets stuck in your throat. 

“Why are you like this, out of sudden!? Kuu, Kuu-chan, it’s me, it’s me.”

“The hell, it’s Anzu......I wish for you that a chicken bone gets stuck in your throat.

“So the level raised!? You, you don’t seem very happy, Kuu-chan. I thought that since it was Valentine’s day, you should be quite happy...,,,”

“I was indeed quite happy before you called.”

“......recently Kuu-chan speaks coldly to me......for what reason......wuu.”

“You should put your hand on your chest and ask yourself,”

“Put my hands on  my chest? Ah......so it was actually like that, it was because my chest, compared to Kuu-chan’s--”

I hung up the phone. OK, I should continue attacking this little mountain of sweets--

(Bzzzzzzzzz--)

My cellphone vibrated again......though it’s bothersome, I still pressed the answer button.

“Hello, I wish for you that a human bone gets stuck in your throat.

“How cruel! It’s too cruel in every sense of that!”

I knew before she said anything that it was Anzu.

“......what is it, I’m busy right now, I don’t have time to waste on a good friend who sinned!”

“W-what sinned......Kuu-chan, what on earth did I do to make you think like that?”

“You dyed your hair! You didn’t go to high school! You wander everywhere with your scooter! You speak crudely when you’re in your boss-mode! And you miraculously returned alive!”

“Why is the last one no good? Could it be that Kuu-chan wished that my surgery failed!”

“......at least the Anzu I knew, her surgery failed.

“Aah, anyway, I believe that the me right now is dark history! But didn’t I say it from the very beginning? If I get out from hospital I’ll run around for sure!”

“How could I know you meant it like that! Hn, if I consider the useless parts of Anzu, the persona of a delinquent girl indeed suits you more than the one of a model student......”

“Wh-why does it sound that unpleasant. To be told like this by Kuu-chan......I......I......”

“Ah, Anzu......I’m sorry, I’ve said too much......”

“I can’t help but want to ride my scooter to run off outside--! Yahaa--!”

“That’s the part of you that I hate!”

“Let’s stop joking for now, Kuu-chan.”

“That was definitively not a joke! I can already hear the wind blowing through the phone!”

I know that Anzu has a microphone on her helmet, so at least she’s not holding the phone while riding.

Anzu stopped for a moment, and said once again:

“Kuu-chan, happy Valentine’s day.”

“Eh, it’s not like it’s my birthday or what......”

“But didn’t Kuu-chan receive a lot of chocolates today?”

“Huh?”

“You made a lot of friends, right?”

“Ah............yes, indeed.”

“Congratulations, Kuu-chan.”

“Hn......thank you, Anzu.”

“It’s nothing......then......I’ll go turn into wind now!”

“......Really, as I thought, I should see Anzu only as the existence that remains in my heart.”

“Don’t say such cruel words carelessly! Kuu, Kuu-chan is mean! I wish for you that you become fat after eating too much chocolates!”

“At least it’s better than being the boss of some strange gang......”

“Huh? Kuu-chan is already the boss of that strange gang.”

“Wuu.”

Speaking of which, there’s indeed not much difference between the safe drivers Red Lotus gang and the Heikyuu Gakuen student council!

“Hng, as expected, Kuu-chan resembles a lot to me.”

“Nonono, I disagree with that conclusion!”

“OK, OK, Kuu-chan, talking for too long on phone isn’t good, don’t eat the chocolate you plan to give to someone by mistake when you’re eating them, got it?”

“How rude! I won’t make that kind of mistake!”

“Ah, so you have someone to give to this year.”

“Huh? Ah......”

“Then Kuu-chan, I wish you a happy Valentine’s day~~!”

“Aaah! W-Wait, Anzu!”

As I tried to hurriedly tried to stop her, it was too late and Anzu has already turned into wind.

I put back the phone that just hung up back in my pocket, and couldn’t help but say to myself:

“A-Actually, it’s not like I took the initiative to give it, it’s, it’s just because Sugisaki was wordy about it, so, so I couldn’t help but prepare it for him!

Though there was clearly no one, I still found an excuse for that! Wuu--! That delinquent girl is always exceptionally sharp on things like this! That’s why I hate Anzu!

“Huh? Did the president call me?

“Su-SUGISAKI!?”

--<!--Something that I did not understand. To be checked.-->Sugisaki really appeared! Unyaa--!

“Why, why would Sugisaki be here!”

“You ask me why......it’s because I’m a member of the student council......”

“You’re fired.”

“Huuuh--!? What’s with that shocking development? Why did it become like this!”

“H-how noisy! Anyway, this, this is my harem! Sugisaki can only enter at the very crucial time!”

“W-What do you mean by the very crucial time......”

In response to Sugisaki’s question, in order to conceal my embarrassment, I slightly gasped before saying:

“Even though he was a just normal student, the protagonist, because of special circumstances, was forced to become the pilot of a latest type of robot that the army developed, and got drawn into the war like this, and though many things happened he still fought and won a series of battles, he became the trump card pilot, and thinking that he had no worthy opponent, he thus lost his sense of measure and encountered the powerful machine of the enemy, then because he underestimated his enemy, he was utterly defeated and managed to survive, yet it caused the death of many of his companion, and after he got severely reprimanded by the allied forces and caused his mental state to be damaged, causing him to be unable to go to the battlefield because he got scared of fighting, and although he got out from the front line during wartime and hid in the countryside, he gradually restored his original self by by living steadily surrounded by many gentle villagers, and even more made many friends......but he didn’t think that at that moment, there would be cruel troops of the enemy that would come and violate the village, ‘Damn......I want......I want to obtain strength! I want the strength to fight once again! Not to beat the enemy! Not for myself! This is to......protect the people that are important to me!’ and at the very moment he took his decision, the new machine dedicated to the protagonist appeared in the sky--at this kind of crucial time.” <!--Needs to be edited, but KEEP THE PUNCTUATION.-->

‘That’s way too hard! I just want to enter the student council room, why would it be so difficult to do so! Anyway I have work to take care of, so I’ll sit first.

“Wuu......”

Without even hearing my order, Sugisaki sat down on his seat as usual. Unyaa......it was all because of the weird things Anzu said, making me so nervous even if there’s nothing......wuu, in fact, there’s obviously nothing wrong with giving chocolates to Sugisaki! Why would I be like this, really!

My mouth didn’t stop mumbling, and Sugisaki seemed to mind that a lot, so he took the initiative to say:

“By, by the way, Prez seemed like she was talking to someone on the phone......who was that person?”

“Eh? Uuh, yeah......that......”

How, how should I answer? I could only expose a forced smile while scratching my cheek, causing Sugisaki to have a complicated expression.

“Eh......now that you mention the phone, I remember that when we just met, I also saw you staring at the cellphone while showing a lonely expression......”

“Ah, ah--this......”

Now that he mentioned it I think there was something like that. Though I don’t remember being seen by Sugisaki, I indeed looked sometime at the Anzu in my cellphone......it was when her hair was still black, and she was letting a sigh alone......really, Anzu, you were really such a serious good kid back then......sigh.

After feeling lonely once again, Sugisaki contrariwise said nonsense.

“Ah! C-Could it be......your ex-boyfriend......something like that.........no, it’s not right! I shouldn’t ask in depth for something like that! A-As a man, I should not mind such things!”

“Huh? Though I don’t really get what you mean......yeah, it’s better if you don’t mind these things concerning the cellphone thing......”

Comparing her to the Anzu right now......sigh, it’s really depressing.

“Ah! P-Prez would show such a mature expression! T-this, as I thought......”

“......Sugisaki, to keep thinking of the person that’s already gone......it’s actually unpleasant.

Aaah, the serious Anzu from before, COME BACK!

“Waah! So, so it’s like this......guuh, could it be that Prez’s past......that its tragicness surpasses the imagination.”

“......Uuuh, but the people who really have a hard time should be the parents. Their child......would unexpectedly commit that kind of error--ah.

Though her parents showed that they’d be happy if she could simply survive......but as I thought, they couldn’t smile. After all, immediately after their daughter left the hospital, she starts getting bad habits......sigh, and she has changed into a delinquent, substantially changed her appearance, and even though she didn’t become a bad girl inside, and it can’t be helped if she wants to cut off her responsibility, it’s just that the situation become more complex--huh? Why is Sugisaki muttering to himself with sweat over his head while saying to himself: 

“M-Mistake......and even mentioned the parents............WAAH! MY HEAD IS ONLY FILLED WITH THOUGHTS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CELLPHONE! GWAAH! Prez......Prez actually has that kind of tragic past! I, as a man, really have no way to support all this--!? WAAAHH--!”

“Su-Sugisaki, what is it? Ah, right. Sugisaki, here, Valentine’s Day chocolates.”

“IT’S TOO HEAVY<nowiki>-----------------------!</nowiki>”

“Huh?”

After calming down quite a bit, I thought of giving the chocolate, and Sugisaki ended up receiving it with tears streaming down his cheeks:

“IT’S REALLY HEAVY! Prez, this chocolate is really heavy for the me right now! It’s really too heavy--!”

“R-Really? It’s definitively a chocolate smooth and delicate, and with a gentle feeling in the mouth <!--or taste-->......”

“I......I, WHAT SHOULD I DO<nowiki>-----</nowiki>!”

“Just simply eat it......”

What the hell is Sugisaki saying? This guy is really hard to understand.”
