Chapter 33: The Third Trinity

The next day.

We finished lunch and naturally headed to the student council room.

It’s partly because of the promotion plan we talked about yesterday, and partly because I’ve gotten used to following the two of them…

It’s also strangely comforting to be in the student council room, more than it was at first.

It was strange that I naturally followed Aya and Mizuki to the student council room.

At first, I didn’t think I’d become such a central figure.

But… I like being next to those two.

Now, it feels awkward to not be by their side.

And while walking, I can hear the whispers of the kids passing by in the hallway.

“There, it’s Trinity.”

“Ah… They’re really pretty.”

“They’re such perfect beautiful girls.”

Aya, as usual, passed by without thinking much, and Mizuki was the same.

Maybe I’m the only one who’s conscious of those words.

So, we arrived at the student council room.

When I opened the door, a second-year blonde male senior was sitting on the sofa eating a sandwich.

He’s lively, but not in a sloppy, delinquent way, and he has a noble feeling… What was his name?

‘His name was… Ran?’

I can’t remember well.

What was his last name?

“Oh, hello, girls~”

The senior saw us, waved his hand, and greeted us warmly.

“Hello~ Kamisaka senpai.”

Mizuki was the first to respond to the greeting, and Aya and I also bowed our heads slightly.

Ah, his last name is Kamisaka.

“I heard from Tachibana yesterday. You’re creating a promotional SNS account?”

“Yes, it seems so.”

When Mizuki answered, the blonde senior smiled and nodded.

“Then, the public relations team will be in charge.”

‘Ah, that’s right. That male senior was in charge of public relations…’

Then the senior suddenly looked interested and said.

“Well, I took on the job without thinking, but I have a suggestion too.”

“Yes?”

“Trinity, how about taking pictures of you guys?”

“…Huh?”

The three of us were surprised at the same time and looked at each other.

No, I heard about Trinity in passing… everyone must have felt it.

I didn’t know because it wasn’t in the novel, but I learned that there is a legend of Trinity in this school because people kept muttering about it.

I never imagined I’d hear it directly in front of me, not in whispers.

“But… Trinity. That’s not a proper thing to say~ Ahaha…”

When Mizuki waved her hand and spoke, the blonde senior smiled playfully and said.

“Do you know that you three are incredibly famous?”

Whispering sounds,

the glances that peek at us when we go to and from school,

the appearance of us huddled together at school.

Come to think of it… are we that famous?!

“Th, there’s no way… But it’s not officially decided, is it?”

“Then, is Takamari’s 4 beauties official?”

“Hmm…”

That’s… not official, but it came about naturally.

But to make the nickname Trinity official, something’s strange…

Besides, I’m not even part of that group of 4 beauties or whatever.

“But I’m not that much of a beauty.”

I looked at the senior and quietly denied it.

“Hmm, no. Kurosawasan is also cute enough. It’s enough.”

The blonde senior said with a natural smile.

“That being said, Yukikawa senpai is…”

I tried to refute, but I hurriedly shut my mouth.

‘Ah… right.’

Aya’s expression momentarily darkened subtly.

Aya doesn’t like her sister very much.

But the senior, who noticed my embarrassment as being reserved, shrugged and said.

“It’s okay. Then let’s say 5 beauties.”

“I, is it that flexible?”

I asked back with a dumbfounded face.

Really, he’s a lively blonde guy, so he’s very smooth.

“Well, the 4 beauties were also made up by someone. But, really, why don’t the three of you go and stand by the window?”

“…Yes.”

Aya bit her lip once and walked quietly towards the window.

I felt sorry for hurting Aya’s feelings by saying something unnecessary.

When Mizuki naturally followed, I also followed late and took a position.

This time, I’ll try to smile…!

And, click.

The smartphone camera shutter sound rang.

“See, this is a picture.”

The senior showed the picture he took and said with satisfaction.

“Eh… No.”

I waved my hand and expressed my refusal…

But Mizuki, who was next to me, took the senior’s smartphone and slowly nodded.

“Hmm… I guess that’s true. The picture isn’t bad?”

“Wait… If even Mizuki agrees, it’s troublesome…?”

I was embarrassed, but even Aya looked at the picture without saying anything and nodded.

“If it can make the spring festival successful, anything.”

If even Aya agreed, I had nothing more to say.

“Oh, as expected of the planning manager.”

The senior laughed playfully.

I still didn’t feel this situation was real.

I ended up becoming a signboard beautiful girl just because I tried to follow the protagonist?

Ah… I’m so embarrassed now, what do I do next?

“Eh, hey, how could I possibly be included in Trinity?”

“Even if it’s not Trinity, it’s natural for beautiful girls to appear in promotions. You’re cute without much editing.”

The blonde senior said casually and received the smartphone.

I…

“Ugh…”

I was the only one who wondered if this was really okay.

It seems that since Mizuki and that senior have the key to public relations, it feels like we’re following the public relations team’s opinion.

It was then.

Just in time, the student council room door opened.

Hiiragi, the vice president, appeared with an indifferent expression.

The black-haired young master, with a nickname that suits him, looked around us and asked calmly.

“What were you talking about?”

The blonde senior said casually.

“Trinity story.”

“Ah, Trinity.”

Hiiragi senpai already understood the context and nodded.

“But why that?”

“To use it for spring festival promotion. Those friends planned SNS promotion. Look at this.”

While listening to those words, Hiiragi senpai received the phone from the blonde senior, thought for a moment, and suddenly said a word.

“It’s good, isn’t it?”

‘…No, what’s good about it!’

I glared at Hiiragi senpai with all my might.

But Hiiragi senpai ignored my gaze as if nothing was wrong and looked at the picture.

At that time, Aya, who had been quietly worried, opened her mouth.

“Then, how about creating a mysterious account called Trinity?”

“Ugh, isn’t that like self-PR?”

I desperately opposed.

Mizuki also thought it was wrong and shook her head.

“Ayarin, I don’t think that’s it? But it’ll be enough to upload pictures of us preparing on the official festival account.”

“Hmm… Yeah, that’s not it.”

Aya lightly put her chin on her hand and fell into thought.

I honestly didn’t want to think about it any further.

Hiiragi senpai kept looking at the picture and saying ‘hmm…’, and the blonde senior was saying ‘It’s good, isn’t it?’.

In the midst of such a commotion, the student council room door opened and Tachibana senpai came in.

“Everyone was here?”

“Ah, Aya. I have to give you that.”

“Yes.”

Aya got up from her seat as if she had been waiting for my words.

And she quietly handed Tachibana senpai the promotional proposal she had written last night.

Tachibana senpai silently received the documents and slowly flipped through the pages, checking the contents.

Silence fell for a moment.

And…

“Hmm, it’s good, isn’t it?”

Tachibana senpai said with a calm expression.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to proceed with this?”

“What? Tachibana says it’s okay?”

As soon as those words fell, the blonde male senior’s eyes sparkled and he came forward to check the documents.

Seeing that, Hiiragi senpai also slowly followed and checked the documents from behind.

“Hmm…”

The three of them lightly skimmed through the documents,

nodded without any particular objections.

And Tachibana senpai declared clearly.

“Let’s create an SNS account right now.”

Hiiragi senpai also quietly added.

“Yeah, the vice president approves.”

I was shocked internally.

‘Can this be decided so quickly!?’

But before I could even object, the blonde senior immediately operated his smartphone and started creating an SNS account.

Look at his fingers skillfully operating the smartphone, he’s made a lot.

…Come to think of it, that senior was also one of the influencers we organized.

“Since that’s decided, I’ll go meet the kids now.”

Mizuki said, getting up from her seat.

“Then, Asakurasan will take care of the middle school, and I’ll meet the high school?”

“Yes, I understand.”

The blonde senior leisurely got up from his seat, stretched lightly, and followed Mizuki out of the student council room.

So, four people were left in the student council room.

“Well, if Shiraizuka was here, we could relax and have some tea—”

Hiiragi, the vice president, was lightly muttering to himself when.

As if the tiger appears when you call it, not long after the two left, she came in.

“Oh, what’s going on? I think I heard someone calling me.”

When Shiraizuka Yurika senpai appeared elegantly, Hiiragi senpai chuckled and said.

“Well, it’s just amazing that you appear when you’re called.”

Yurika senpai smiled slightly and said.

“You can’t make fun of a lady’s ears, vice president.”

The conversation between the two was natural, like people who had known each other for a long time.

I quietly watched that scene,

and felt that people in the student council were close to each other like this.

“By the way, Yukikawasan. The spring festival won’t be made up of just promotion. What are you preparing?”

Hiiragi, the vice president, suddenly turned his gaze to Aya and said.

Aya nodded with a calm expression.

“Yes, of course there’s one more. I’m trying to revive the night market.”

…Ah.

As expected, is this the restraining power in the novel?

Just like the scene in the novel, Aya brought up the night market story.

And that night market was the reason why Aya in the novel collapsed.
