Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

It seems there was

a student general meeting the other day.

I heard

Masachika and the heiress of Taniyama Heavy Industries were involved.

Yes.

She was your rival

until the very last moment in junior high after all.

I thought she was more capable.

But it seems she left in the middle of the meeting.

I'm sure she has her reasons.

In any case,

Masachika's reputation has been boosted.

Listen up.

No matter who your opponent is,

you must not lose.

Grandfather, I understand.

You may not be as talented as Masachika,

but

you know the responsibility that comes with competency.

In that regard,

he's beyond help.

He has the greatest talent of anyone

and a uniquely privileged environment,

but he gave up his responsibility.

That's why you must never

lose to someone like him.

Do you understand, Yuki?

Yes, Grandfather.

Yuki?

Mother,

is something wrong?

Are you and Masachika

getting along well?

Yes, of course.

I see.

Well,

is something wrong with my brother?

No, it's nothing.

You have a Chinese class later, right?

Yes, it's a remote lesson today.

Do your best.

Yes.

Ayano.

Yes, Mistress Yuki?

Let me hold you.

Yes, as you wish.

Good, I'm all better now.

Is that all?

Thank you.

Oh, dear.

Boobs really are great, aren't they?

Yo, Kuze.

Last week's general meeting was amazing.

When I first heard Taniyama's argument, I thought it was over.

Which part of it was your strategy?

Anyway, let me put down my stuff first.

Good morning, Alya.

Good morning.

Well, her reaction is the same as usual.

Alya.

These guys want to hear about your heroics last week.

What?

Well then, just ask Alya for the details.

The gacha event is waiting for me.

Kujou.

Did you come up with the speech

at the general meeting last week?

What?

Well, you could say that.

It took me by surprise.

I didn't know you were so good at giving speeches.

Thank you.

You didn't ask any questions.

Was that your strategy?

Yes.

That's what we decided in advance.

Then, why did Kuze barge in midway?

I didn't expect that either.

By the way,

Taniyama ran away midway.

How dare she run away from the challenge she started?

That's so lame.

Kuze, a minute, please.

Come to think of it,

the student council needs extra hands.

Sorry, I'll talk to you later.

So what's the matter?

You don't want to hear Taniyama

being criticized so harshly?

Because Taniyama…

Indeed,

we know why Taniyama did those things.

But we won it fair and square so it's not our fault.

No matter what is said, we don't have to worry about Taniyama.

Don't we?

I know that.

But we didn't actually win.

Then what do you want to do?

If we want to restore Taniyama's reputation,

then our victory in the general meeting wouldn't count.

I know that too.

Anyway, that's about it from a rational perspective.

But it doesn't really matter.

What?

What's important is what you want to do.

Of course, I want to help Taniyama.

But that's…

I know.

Let's do it then.

What? Is that okay?

Yes.

Rather than holding on to it now,

it's better to settle things and welcome the closing ceremony.

I'm sorry.

I said something troublesome.

Don't worry about it.

Didn't I tell you?

I'll support you.

Kuze.

There's someone over there.

Come closer.

But…

It's totally like a rom-com.

As a competent junior,

I should act like nothing happened and leave at a time like this.

What's going on?

Did I also trigger a rom-com event?

This is no good.

What's no good? Everything, of course.

At this point,

I have no choice but to forcefully change

the course of the event!

So how long are you two going to hide?

President, Sarashina.

What?

I'm sorry.

We missed our timing to come out.

That's right.

We were just looking for something that fell on the floor.

Well then,

let's just pretend that neither of us saw

nor heard anything this time, okay?

Okay.

You're right. Let's do just that.

It's a deal then.

Let's go, Alya.

Well, I…

I still have other things to do.

Hey, Nonoa.

Don't you think Fymel's new release is so cute?

It doesn't really click with me.

I see.

If you don't like it, then forget it.

Such a powerful social presence.

I can't even get close to her.

Forget about that, Nonoa.

Can you come

to my house party this Sunday?

But the test is coming up.

Well then, come over and revise for the test.

What?

Don't you think you've been a bit cold lately?

No… I'm just kidding.

A house party?

Definitely count me in.

Great!

Hey, if Nonoa's going, I want to go too.

Kuzecchi, do you need anything?

Yeah, something like that.

I see.

You can't talk about it here?

Yes, let's go somewhere else.

Okay.

So?

If you want to confess, I'll accept it.

But that's not why you're here, right?

Yeah.

Wait, you're willing to accept my confession?

Well, I'm single now.

Besides, I don't hate you.

No, don't date someone you don't hate.

Date properly with someone you like.

But I've never been in a relationship with someone I like.

Hey, that statement sounds a bit off.

It can't be helped.

I don't really know what love is.

I don't mean to criticize your views on love,

but I think you shouldn't degrade yourself.

Sayacchi said that to me too.

But she also slapped me when she said it.

Seriously?

She would slap her friend?

Well, it was a special circumstance.

Anyway, let's get back to the topic.

What do you want?

A lot of people are talking about Taniyama, right?

I'm wondering if we can cool things down a bit.

Does that bother you, Kuzecchi?

It bothers my partner.

I see.
