I Was Supposed to Be Giving Love Advice on the School Radio, but Before I Knew It, the Beautiful Girls at School Were Hitting on Me
The student council president,……Saionji senpai, without losing her gentle smile, made the suggestion.
“….When you say join hands, you mean the student council and the broadcasting club?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Saionji senpai nodded.
I couldn’t hide my confusion at the unexpected question.
“The broadcasting club is on the verge of extinction, isn’t it? I heard that most of the reason is that there is only one member in the club.”
“Well, that’s true, but…..”
“We owe the broadcasting club a great debt of gratitude. The student council is sponsoring the broadcasting club, and that’s why we invited you here today.”
The sponsor, in other words, the student council is going to be the backing of the broadcasting club, of which I’m the only member.
“I see, you mean the student council is going to sponsor us…….”
“Yes, if the teachers know that we are cooperating with you, they won’t be able to touch you, and that will be a relief for you, too, right?”
Isn’t it a good idea? Senpai exclaimed.
She was right. It’s a good idea, considering the current state of the broadcasting club.
However, I have some concerns. The fact that the student council will stand behind the idea means that…..
“Don’t worry, we’ll only be your supporters. Even though we’re sponsors, we don’t intend to tell you to do exactly what you should do with your lunchtime broadcasts.”
“I see…….”
“Well, since we’re lending the name of the student council, I hope you’ll refrain from posting anything that goes against public order and morals.”
The president reassured me. It is a common occurrence in the broadcasting industry that the direction of a program is distorted due to the wishes of sponsors.
However, it seems that this is not the case this time. It seems that she is really concerned about the future of the broadcasting club……
……If I really take them at their word.
“So what’s the catch?”
“Eh?”
“The student council will sponsor the broadcasting club, in exchange for what the student council wants from me.”
This person is not to be trusted; I know many people who took that smile at face value and ended up getting ripped.
But Saionji senpai was so shocked that she exaggeratedly shrugged her shoulders.
“Oh no, there is no catch at all, Kageyama kun, I just want to give something back to the Broadcasting Club that has been so kind to us…….”
Saionji senpai looks deeply saddened. Her eyes look a little moist.
“I just want to support the broadcasting club, but Kageyama kun doesn’t believe me.”
“I was taught by my seniors not to believe in the student council unconditionally.”
If I didn’t know any better I would probably believe her right away, but I don’t ease my suspicious gaze.
The other party is Saionji Chihaya, don’t be fooled…….
Placing her hand over her mouth, Senpai sighed.
“The previous president really was problematic…”
No, I know she’s talking like it’s someone else’s problem, but she was pretty bad last year too…
“If you want to make a deal, let’s be fair. I can’t believe you would go to the trouble of spending your precious time to call me out for such a thing, and you have an exchange clause anyway.”
“… I guess this kind of trick won’t work.”
Senpai lightly lowered her eyes.
“So, why did you call me here?”
Most likely, they’re going to use the broadcasting club to get the student council to advertise, or use it for propaganda…..
“It can’t be helped, I don’t really like this way of conveying things…”
“Chihaya, I still think you should reconsider……”
“No, once a Saionji woman makes a decision, she never changes it.”
Shonai senpai didn’t look worried, but instead she raised her head.
She stood up and came over to me.
Then she stretched out her hand to me.
“Kageyama kun, are you planning to join the student council?”
It was a suggestion that could only be considered a joke, but the president’s eyes were serious.
“Join the student council, me……?
“Do you know that the current student council does not have a general secretary?”
“Yes, well…….”
Our student council has been in place for generations, and the president decides who the other staff members are.
Normally, the previous positions are filled, but this year there was no suitable candidate, so the general affairs position was the only one that remained unfilled.
Senpai stared intently at my face. I felt like I was being sucked into her deep eyes.
“I think I want you to do it.”
“That’s a heavy burden…”
The members of the student council are so selective, I can hardly believe I can stand beside them.
“If you take up this deal, the student council will support the broadcasting club to the best of its ability, and of course, I won’t do anything that will interfere with your radio work.”
“I see…….”
Thinking about it calmly, the offer couldn’t have been more favorable.
Although the new project had increased the visibility of the broadcast, it still did not mean that the club was going to be revived. The conditions were so perfect that there was no other choice.
She gave me no reason to refuse. She says it’s a deal, but it sounds like……
“Sounds like blackmail……”
“Fufu, calling it a blackmail is a terrible thing to say.”
“Ah, no…….”
Apparently, she had heard my quiet muttering.
Senpai brought her face closer to mine. Her beautiful face and her well-developed breasts that were too big to fit in her uniform overwhelmed me.
“This is Saionji’s negotiation technique, and I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot of it.”
It seems that my entry into the student council is already confirmed. I glance at Shonai senpai, but she still has the same stern expression. However, the president is full of confidence.
“Come on, take my hand. Kageyama kun.”
A scene like the one seen in some anime unfolds from the first-person point of view.
There was such a comforting feeling that if I took this hand, I would be the main character.
…..But
“Forgive me, Saionji senpai. But I can’t take you up on that offer.”
I quickly got up from the sofa and bowed deeply.
I can hear Shonai senpai sighing at an audible volume.
When I looked up, Senpai was still smiling.
“C-can you tell me the reason? I think it’s only beneficial for you.”
“If I can get support from the student council, the broadcasting club may indeed be in good hands.”
“I-indeed. You know what I mean.”
Senpai was smiling as usual, but the corners of her mouth were slightly twitching and her usual composure was nowhere to be seen.
“But as the only member of the broadcasting club, I have a responsibility to protect the style that my seniors have upheld up until now. So I can’t ask for their help.”
“But……it would be meaningless if the whole broadcasting club were to disappear.”
“Yes, so I’m going to try to do as much as I can on my own. If the club really does get disbanded, I’ll think about it again then.”
My answer made Senpai hold her head in her hands.
“That’s irrational…….do you really hate being in the student council that much?”
“No, I never thought I would be invited, and I’m very honored.”
It’s definitely not worth the trouble though…
“If that’s the case, you’ll definitely benefit from my offer. There are listeners who look forward to that radio show.”
“I was quite flattered to hear that, Senpai.”
When I expressed my honest gratitude to Senpai, her face blushed a little.
“No, that wasn’t about me or anything…it was just a general statement.”
“Of course I understand.”
I hear the student council president has a very busy schedule. She probably doesn’t have time to listen to my radio show.
But that’s why I wanted to tell you.
“I don’t know if you know this, but I think that the listeners are very important to me right now. I want that time to consist of just me and my listeners.”
However, Senpai looks down and looks away.
“I’ve known that all along ……”
“Eh, did you say something?”
“Nothing !”
I couldn’t hear very well what Senpai was saying as she bowed her head.
…I hope she isn’t harboring any grudges.
Senpai let out a big sigh.
“Let me ask you one last thing: are you sure this is okay? You won’t regret it?”
“Yes, I won’t regret it.”
I know it’s the last question, but I gave a short reply. I’m sorry Senpai, but I’m going to have to withdraw from this.
As I was about to say my last words, Senpai turned her head to me.
There was a suspicious light in her eyes that made me shudder.
“As a daughter of the Saionji family, I have been educated in various ways. To become a person worthy of the Saionji family, to become a person who stands above others.”
“H-haa…….”
The sudden start of the reminiscences, I can’t help but be baffled.
All I can do is encourage the conversation to continue.
“You know what the most important thing they said to me was? Kageyama kun.”
“N-no, I have no idea……”
Senpai smiled suspiciously, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly.
“Always get what you want, you see?”
“……!”
Senpai pointed to the door with the same expression.
“Go ahead, Kageyama. Sorry for calling you during your lunch break.”
“Ah, no, it’s nothing….”
“The student council will not let you get away with it. You must not forget that.”
Her gaze was that of a beast catching its prey.
I somehow managed to pull myself together as I was crushed by the difference in our status as living beings.
“No matter how many times you ask me, I won’t change my mind.”
“……”
“Now, excuse me.”
With that as a parting remark, I quickly left the student council room.
“Oh…..so tiring…….”
And then all classes were over. The incident in the student council room was so intense that I didn’t have enough energy to concentrate on my afternoon classes.
As I pack books into my bag, Kitahara peers over at me.
“Kageyama kun, are you okay?”
“To be honest, I’m not okay…….”
‘You seem to have been in low spirits since lunchtime…..did something happen with the student council?”
“Well, it’s a bit complicated…”
I didn’t feel like it was something I should have told Kitahara, so I just made up an excuse.
“If you have something to say, I’ll listen. Do you have time after this?”
“I appreciate the thought, but I have a part-time job today…”
My heart sinks even more when I tell her that.
For some reason, it’s exactly when I have trouble like this that I tend to get part-time work. So now is the time to recover my energy.
I stood up and stretched.
That was the moment.
“Senpai !”
At that moment, something crashed into my side.
“Ughh.”
My HP, which I was trying to recover, was cut down at once.
I held my stomach and looked in the direction of the collision, and there was a smiling, bob-cut junior student smiling at me.
“K-Kinami…….”
I called her name, and she nodded her head happily.
“Yes ! Kageyama senpai’s beloved sister, Kinami Makino ! I’ve come to pick you up !”
