                            (Togara's POV)

"Your name is Togara Hisayoshi, correct?" The president of the student council asked.

"Yes, that's me." I said as I was in the student council meeting.

"Thank you for joining. It means a lot to us." He said as he then went to a room to get something.

"It's no problem." I said as I scratched my head.

Suddenly, he dropped a box filled with paperwork.

"Here. From now on, you'll be our Paperwork Guy." He said as he then left the room.

"What?" I said as he left me confused.

"Whaaat? They made you as the Paperwork Guy?" Shozumi asked as we were in lunch.

"Yeah..." I said.

"Those guys are cruel." He said as he munched on a piece of bread.

"Heyo!" Nakamura said as she came to our table.

"Hi Shozumi-san. Looks like you're enjoying your lunch there." She said as she sat next to me.

"Mhmm." He said as he continued to eat his bread.

"So how did it went?" She asked.

"How did what went?" I asked.

"Didn't you join it?" She asked me as she frowned.

"Oh yeah, it went well..." I said as Shozumi was staring at me while eating his bread.

"✨Really?✨" She asked as her face sparkled.

"Yeah..." I said.

"Grr..." Shozumi said as he could tell I was lying.

"That's great to hear! Y'know I met a lot of new people today." She said as she smiled at me.

"You did?" I asked.

"Yeah!" She said.

"It's a good thing you joined the student council." She said as she looked happy as ever.

"Ah! I had it!" Shozumi said as he stood up.

"Nakamura-san, he's lying to you!" He said.

"Sh-Shozumi-san!" I said as I tried to hush him.

"Huh? What do you mean?" She asked.

"He's just their lapdog!" He said.

"What?" She said as she looked at me.

"Is that true?" She asked me.

"Well..." I said.

After a while, I explained Nakamura about it.

"Your their Paperwork Guy?" She asked.

"Yeah..." I said.

"Why?!" She said as she stood up.

"Nakamura-san where're you going?" I asked.

"To the student council!" She said as she marched, having a pout face.

"W-Wait!" I said as I grabbed her hand. "You don't need to go. I'm okay with that." I said.

"But you worked hard to be in it..." She said, having a sad look.

"That's fine..." I said.

Before being known as the "Paperwork Guy"

I was sitting on my seat as I heard some girls whispering about the new girl who joined the student council.

"Hey did you hear? Apparently Nakumatsu-san joined the student council." A girl whispered to her friend.

"She did?" Her friend asked.

"Yeah. The president accepted her for some reason. Normally, it wouldn't be that easy." The girl whispered.

"Do you think he has a crush on her?" Her friend whispered.

"Pssh! Yeah right." The girl whispered.

"A lot of boys in her PE class have a crush on her..." Her friend whispered.

"Makes me jealous." The girl whispered.

I don't even know why I'm hearing their conversation...

As class was over, I headed to the student council.

"I wonder who this Nakumatsu person is..." I said.

Suddenly, I bumped into a girl as the girl fell to the ground.

"I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" I asked her.

Wait...I felt like this happened before...

"Ow...yeah I'm fine." The girl said as she got up from the ground.

"Mi-Mi!" I heard a girl as she came towards us.

"Mi-Mi! Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" She asked her as she had a fierce look at me.

"No he didn't Saki..." She said.

"Who're you?" Her friend asked.

"I'm Togara. Togara Hisayoshi." I said.

"It's nice to meet you Hisayoshi-san." She said as she did a small bow.

"My name is Mihora. Mihora Nakumatsu."
