Ordinary I and Extraordinary Them

What do you think of when you think of regular dinner at a study camp?

Although it varies depending on the environment, curry is probably the most standard.

 

The cooking process is simple and easy, and today was no exception as curry was served.
Shizuku and Kirasaka took the lead in cooking, while Miura was busy helping with minor tasks and washing dishes.

 

What were the boys doing? They were just sitting and watching the process.
I asked them if I could help them with something, but they just said, “Don’t move.”

 

No, well, I understand.
It’ll be easier for a boy to not move rather than making extra troubles while trying to do something.

 

If it wasn’t me or Hino-kun, but a male student who wanted to showoff, he would certainly insist on helping.
But now that I’ve been told not to move, I’ll keep it in mind.

 

After all, I am a person who wants to live comfortably.
What a cool statement …but it sounds pretty stupid.

 

I decided to talk to Hino-kun since I had nothing to do.

 

“Hey there, Kouhai-kun how’s it going lately?

 

“What’s the matter with your way of talking? …even if you say that you’re pretty happy isn’t it weird.”

 

“Ah, I see I see”

 

End of conversation.

Now that I’ve said that, I can’t continue the conversation.

 

Conversation really is difficult.
There’s a saying that conversing is like playing catch with words, but I’m good at throwing words one way and finishing them, or conversely, not being able to catch the words thrown at me.

 

Now I have nothing left to do.
All I could do was watch the girls cooking in front of me and admire their skillfulness.

 

Then, Shizuku noticed my gaze and turned her attention to me.
But she didn’t stop cutting the vegetables.

 

How can she cut the vegetables while looking at me?
If it were me, I would totally be cooking my own hands.

 

Minato-kun’s simple recipe will turn into a grotesque cuisine.

 

Shizuku blushes a little and muttered in a small voice.

 

“Minato-kun, no, even if you give me a passionate gaze…”

 

“No, give me back my feelings of admiration!”

 

When did I ever give you that kind of look?
Lately, her character seems to be blurring a lot, is it a sign that her true self is coming out?

 

However, there was one person who would not be silenced by her statement.

“Don’t misunderstand.
Shinra-kun was looking at my back.”

 

“That’s not true either!”

 

Don’t talk to me like I’m looking at my father’s back.
You both can just watch your backs if you want to.

(TL/N – ¯_(ツ)_/¯)

 

It’s not even funny.
The two of them exchanged glances as if they were fighting each other, but they still didn’t stop cooking.

 

Miura had gotten used to this environment, and while she sighed in exasperation, she didn’t intervene and went on with her own work.

 

The curry that was made under such circumstances looked wonderfully delicious.
When they had finished placing the curry in the seats where everyone was seated, president and Koizumi returned.

 

 

 

 

 

The only sounds in the room were the clinking of dishes and spoons, and minimal conversation.　

 

The only conversation was about the taste of the curry, upcoming events, and other trivial matters.
It seemed as if everyone was trying to figure out how far they should go in asking questions about Koizumi’s strange behavior.

It was Hino-kun, Miura, and even Shizuku who seemed to be somewhat concerned.
Kirasaka as usual remains unconcerned about the matter, but she didn’t bring up the matter, perhaps in consideration of the president, with whom she has a good relationship with.

In any case, it was a tasteless dinner, even though the food was excellent.

 

 

 

“Thank you very much for the meal, we’ll cleanup the mess since we couldn’t participate in the preparation.”

 

“Well, why don’t you all go and work up first?”

 

President and Koizumi told us.
Normally, I would have said that we would help, but I couldn’t say that now.

 

I’m sure president and Koizumi haven’t finished their conversation yet.

 

“Well, please do.”

 

I left my seat and put the dishes in the sink before leaving the room.
The other four people left the room as well.

 

“Was it important?”

 

As I walked down the already darkened hallway to the student council room where I had left my belongings, Hino-kun’s question echoed in the hallway.
Miura didn’t answer, and those of us who didn’t know what it was couldn’t answer either.

While understanding this, Shizuku posed a question to me.

 

“What do you think, Minato-kun?”

 

“…”

 

The reason why I didn’t ask Miura here is probably because she won’t tell me the answer.

 I felt that this was a question that I would like to get her opinion on, even if it’s just her personal opinion.

 

“At least it’s not something we have anything to do with.
President is explicitly making time for just the two of them, so it’s definitely an issue concerning the student council.”

 

It may be Koizumi who is directly involved.
However, I can predict that this is a story that has something more to it than just the student council.

 

Why were Shizuku and Kirasaka invited?
If it was really only a student council issue, it would have been held without inviting them.

 

But this time, they were invited.
If we assume that they are invited because they want to play some role or help, then the problem may be more troublesome than I imagine.

 

“…Tomorrow is going to be important.”

 

Tomorrow is the second day.
If any action is to be taken, there should be at least a discussion tomorrow.

 

So, if there’s anything I can do today, it’s to work on my assignments to the best of my ability, so that it’ll be easier for me tomorrow.
