Epilogue

The following morning arrived. The results of the election were hung up on a board in front of the main entrance. With a faint number of votes missing, Nao just barely lost the election. The fault wasn’t with Nao at all, she probably would have won if it was the chief who gave the recommendation speech instead of me. Even if the contents are the same, another person reading it can greatly change the impression. Persuasiveness…that word filled my head. I guess I’m still not good enough.

“Sup, Nanaya!”

“Nao, morning.”

“What’s that lousy energy for? Wanna fondle my breasts to cheer up?”

“I’m good! I mean, look at the results.”

“Woah! I’m second place!”

“I mean, yeah, but…second isn’t good enough in an election.”

“It’s not?!”

“I just told you! Are you even listening?!”

This girl is something else…seriously.

“It’s fine, really. Both you and the chief worked really hard, so I’m satisfied with just that.” Nao said with a beaming smile of no remorse.

You were the one who worked hard, remember?

“Well good for you.” I placed my hand on her head, ruffling through her hair.

“Ehehe~”

As we were conversing in front of the billboard with these idle words, more and more people appeared, one of them being the guy I really didn’t want to run into. Tatsuki glanced at us once, and immediately averted his face.

“Good morning, Tatsuki!” Nao loudly called out to him, waving her hand.

He looked at us once more, blushing this time.

“M-Morning.” He raised one hand.

Good for you, Tatsuki. From here on out, you have to pull yourself together, correct your mistakes, and try your luck again if the right time comes—or so I thought of telling him, but I still can’t stand this spoiled brat of a shitty guy! Why do you look like everything’s been resolved?! Thinking about it rationally, you tried to push a girl off the stage! Nao may have forgiven you, but I sure have not! I’m not letting you have my childhood friend even if the world were about to end! Go travel back in time and correct your mistakes, you playboy!

I was glaring at Tatsuki with these feelings in mind, but he didn’t even properly look at me, and just wandered inside. Hmph, I’m not letting you enjoy your youthful love story just yet.

“What’s wrong, Nanaya? That’s one hell of a scary expression. Is your morning wood plaguing you?”

“First of all, you don’t even understand the meaning of morning wood!”

“Oh wow, you’re so excited…”

“Stop making things worse! Your stupidity is what’s getting me agitated!”

“Nooo~ Getting excited because of me, you’re such a pervert, Nanaya.”

“Hmph, who’d get excited because of who? Come on, tell me, Shimono-kun.”

The demon appeared. A demon god came from the planet of demons.

“Chief! Nanaya looked at my boobs and got hard, and now he wants to fondle them! Help me.”

“All right, first I’ll kill you, and then I’ll kill myself. If not, this demon god will slaughter us both.”

The chief’s eyes were glowing red. She’s scary. I’m scared. I’m terrified. However, her red eyes looked away from the focussing on another place.

“So you didn’t get elected…what a shame.”

“But Chief, I’m second place!”

“Nao-chan…that’s not good enough. You can’t become the student council president like that.”

“It’s not good enough?!”

“I just told you! Were you even listening to me?!”

“Ahaha! You’re saying the same thing as Nanaya! I guess you two are pretty similar.”

“Wh-What are you talking about, Nao-chan. Are you trying to say that the two of us are similar in a way that we would get married and spend our newlywed lifestyle in joy only for sudden conflict to appear which temporarily brought up the idea of a divorce but we both overcame that and are now more passionate than ever? Are you stupid?”

“Okay, I’m sorry!”

Why are you apologizing? Do you have nothing else to say about that?! You suck at retorting! You’re a natural-born idiot! Then again, there was also a time when I just earnestly apologized after something similar. I guess I was stupid back then. But that means I’ve matured, right? It’s proof that the chief and I have gotten closer.

“Come on, you two, we’ll be late at this rate.”

“Ah, you’re right! See you later, Chief!”

“Nao-chan, one last thing. Come over here.”

“Hm?” Nao seemed confused as she trotted towards the chief.

The chief didn’t waste a second to tightly embrace Nao.

“You did great. Good work out there, Nao-chan.”

“H-Hey, Chief! This is embarrassing!”

So she said, but she still buried her face in the chief’s chest.

“All right, go on ahead now.”

“Yep! Thanks, Chief! Love you lots!” Nao bashfully responded, and headed to the shoe lockers.

“You go as well, Nanaya-kun. You’ll be late, and I won’t forgive that.”

“Right back at you, Chief.”

“Don’t call me chief at school!” She pouted.

God, she’s so adorable.

“See you later, then, Chief.” I raised one hand, heading towards the shoe boxes.

“Nanaya-kun!”

“Yes?”

Turning around towards the chief, she closely inspected my face. Her expression was awfully serious. I wonder what she’s thinking?

“You did well during the speech.”

“Thank you very much.”

“40 points.”

“So strict!”

“Your intonation still didn’t land too well. During the most important parts, you sounded weak. Also, your breaks were misplaced, messing with the rhythm. If anybody didn’t care about the topic, they would have fallen asleep. The idea of a presentation is to get people invested even if the topic doesn’t interest them. Also, your expression. You can’t always be serious. At times, a smile works a lot better if it fits with the contents. One episode is one speech. Well, because you were so confident and straightforward with the speech, I gave you some bonus points.”

“An avalanche of critique! Not to mention only 40 points despite the bonus?!”

I was wondering what she was about to tell me with that serious expression, and for some reason, I’m not surprised at all! Damn it, I should have played dumb and go to the classroom.

“All right, you have one week to get all these points of possible improvement together. You don’t need to hand it in, just keep it in your personal files.”

“We’re not at the company right now! I want to enjoy my high school life!”

“What are you talking about? In seven years, you will be a member of society. Our company’s interviews are pretty tough, and you only barely managed to pass it, right? You were only accepted because one person who accepted ended up quitting after all. Section Chief Saitou from the personnel department told me, so it’s definitely true.”

“Why are you telling me about that now?! Also, what’s this Section Chief Saitou’s problem?! He doesn’t have to sell out personal information!”

“You need to pull yourself together so that you’ll be accepted by Geotam Business Affairs again. Don’t let your guard down just because the future might change.”

“No way. So my future is already decided even after traveling back to the past~?”

“Of course? If not, the two of us won’t be able to work together at the same company.”

“W-Well, that does make sense.”

“Anyway, think about the deficits of your speech, okay?” She crossed her arms like she always would when lecturing me, and disappeared at the shoe lockers of the second-years.

So scary! She said what she wanted to say and just up and left. Well, that’s very much like the chief, I guess. Despite it being early morning, I was already exhausted and headed over to put on my slippers as well.

“Huh…I feel like the chief’s acting a bit off, today.”

And it didn’t even take me half a day to realize what that was.

*

“Hey, hey, Nanacchi, today’s the day you’ll be eating lunch with Oni-chan in the classroom, all right? No more cafeteria food, I even made a lunch box just for you, here we go!”

As soon as the chime signaling the end of 4th period rang, Onikichi walked over to my seat.

“Sorry, I’m happy about that, but if somebody makes a lunch box for me, that’s just terrifying more than anything.”

“I mean, otherwise you’d immediately go to the cafeteria, right?”

“I’m curious now, why are you so desperate to eat lunch together with me? Also, can’t you just come with me to the cafeteria?”

“I want to move up to Tokyo after graduating, so I’m saving money now.”

“Your reason is so admirable, I have no way of arguing back! Also then don’t bother making a lunch box for me, I’d just feel bad now!”

“Makes it harder for you to say no like this, right?”

As expected of the number one host, he really knows how to play with someone’s feelings. Well, should be fine. Not like I have any actual reason to decline. Usually, I’m just enjoying my days with the delicious sanuki udon, but once in a while won’t hurt. However, right as I was about to agree, another storm appeared.

“Nanaya-kun! Let’s eat lunch together!”

The door to our classroom swung open, with an alluring beauty above many others appeared.

“It’s Kamijou-senpai.”

“Woah, so cute!”

“Wha, she knows Shimono?”

At the same time, our classmates grew noisy. I really hope she becomes aware of how much she stands out.

“What a shame, Touka, but today Nanacchi is eating with me!”

Because Onikichi aggressively provoked the chief, she ran towards us, walking between the desks in our classroom. In her hand, she had two wrapped boxes.

“What do you mean, Onikichi-kun? Nanaya-kun will be eating lunch with me up on the rooftop. Look, I even prepared a lunch box for him.”

Why does she make it sound like that fact had been written in stone? First time I heard about that.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Touka, can you really say that after looking at the lunch box I made for him?”

And why is he fighting her in that? Huh? Does he like me? That would naturally change things.

“Aren’t you confident, Onikichi-kun? Then let’s show our lunch boxes to each other, and have Nanaya-kun decide himself.”

“Okie, the battle’s on! Here we go!”

I don’t wanna! There’s nothing for me to gain from that! Let me go to the cafeteria and eat udon. Usually, if I had Nao with me, I would be able to get away from this mess, but she’s eating lunch in the courtyard. This is too much for me to carry!

“First up is my lunch box. Tada~!”

I really did not want to see the chief saying ‘Tada’ to be perfectly honest. But she’s also cute!

“Phew, phew, not bad, Touka!”

The chief’s lunch was the perfect idea of a simple lunch box. The first layer was white rice with seaweed on it. The second layer were sidedishes, reaching from fried chicken to rolled omelet, even octopus wieners, broccoli, and tomatoes. The corner even had some boiled stuff. It was a perfectly normal lunch box, but it really tickles my appetite. In a single word—it’s wonderful.

“Now it’s your turn, Onikichi-kun.”

“It’s time for Oni-chan to show off! Let’s get on with it, here we!”

Onikichi opened up the lid. Isn’t this the moment where you add the ‘go’, no? I still don’t get it. The inside of Onikichi’s lunch box was filled with fried stuff. Since it was brimming with orange, he probably added soy sauce.

“The winner is Kamijou Touka.”

“Nanacchi?!”

“Don’t ‘Nanacchi?!’ me! How could you be this confident?! This isn’t a lunch box, you just put it into a plastic box! Then again, you’re trying to save money so that you can move to Tokyo, so I fully get it! You can do it, Onikichi!”

“Hey, hey! Thanks a bunch!”

He’s happy now. He is cute in his own right, okay.

“Onikichi-kun, I’ll be taking Nanaya-kun with me, then.”

“Heh, can’t help it! A promise between men is absolute, so take him with you, you thief!”

“I’m not a man, nor am I a thief!” The chief threw a retort at Onikichi and pulled on my hand.

“Let’s go, Nanaya-kun!”

Like that, we dashed out of the room. This feels like a drama for teenagers. Not bad, I gotta say.

*

The sky was blue, and with the sun shining brightly down on the rooftop, it felt like an open balcony. Honestly, this is pretty comfortable. I had my back to the fence, eating from the chief’s lunch. As expected, it was delicious. Especially the boiled vegetables. They’re abundant with taste.

“Does it taste good, Nanaya-kun?”

“Yes, it’s the best.”

“Glad to hear that.”

I quickly realized the identity of this feeling of discomfort I had been plagued with all day. The chief is openly calling me Nanaya. The reason? Hell do I know, I’m a virgin. I don’t understand a girl’s heart. I’ve given up.

“By the way.” The chief gracefully looked at me.

Man, she’s beautiful.

“Yes, what is it?”

“Yesterday, you called me Touka, right?”

“Did I? I don’t remember.”

“Playing the memory loss card, I see.”

“I don’t remember, so I can’t help it, okay.”

“Then, what about the time at the cafe?”

“Huh?!”

Wh-What?!

“Ah, you remember that at least.”

“N-No, what might you be talking about?”

“After showing me that reaction, playing dumb won’t work.”

Seriously…But, what? Was she awake? Ahh, so embarrassing!

“I’m very sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“Aren’t you angry? I acted all friendly and close with you, my superior.”

“It’s the opposite! I’m always telling you not to call me chief at school! Don’t hang on to our superior-subordinate relationship forever.”

“I mean, you are my superior.”

“Don’t you think of me as a senior at school? It’s been a month since we went back in time.”

Mmm…I started thinking for a moment.

“Not happening.”

“A quick answer, I see.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Can’t you at least call me Touka-senpai?”

“Why your given name? Ouch!”

She slapped my shoulder. Why?

“Then Kamijou-senpai.”

“That won’t work.”

“Why?! You called me Kamijou-senpai at first, no?!”

“That’s when you weren’t the section chief yet.”

“Right now, I’m not the section chief either! I’m a high school student!”

“Well, that is true.”

“Fine, whatever…Geez.”

She’s depressed now! Even I understood that the chief wasn’t just teasing me anymore. I mean, I want to call her Touka-san without any hesitation. But…I’m embarrassed! Calling her Touka-san would make me feel like I was her boyfriend, it’s just way too much for me! Not to mention that changing it after she told me to makes it even more embarrassing! How do other people change their way of addressing others? Isn’t this a bit too hard?

Was there no video of Yuito telling his viewers when to call the person you like with their given name? Damn it, I can’t remember. Maybe I should go to that cafe near the train station and hope that I run into this generation’s Yuito-sensei again. Asking him directly would be faster. Though I didn’t expect us to live in the same district even. Yeah, I’ll do that. Next weekend, maybe.

“Ah…that reminds me, you said you wanted to enjoy your youth outside the student council, right? What did you mean by that?”

I remembered our exchange at the cafe, which was interrupted mid-way, so I asked her again. She made it clear that she wanted to become someone other than the student council president, so I was curious what she was aiming for not.

“D-Doesn’t have anything to do with you.”

“That’s true, but I would still like to hear that.”

“Why?”

“Because I want to know more about you, Chief.”

“…Are you doing this on purpose?”

“Doing what on purpose? Don’t scare me, please.”

“I’m the one who’s scared.”

“So you won’t tell me?”

“D-Do you want to know that badly?”

I’m starting to feel like I’m about to open Pandora’s Box, but my answer was written in stone.

“Yes.”

The chief seemed a bit bewildered but finally looked at me in determination.

“That’s…”

A gentle breeze blew past us on the rooftop. A comfortable warmth was placed on my hand.

“C-Chief…?”

She had put her right hand on my left, her fingers interlocking with mine.

“The youth I want to spend…is with you, Nanaya-kun.”

The chief started to lean against me like she was attacking me. Her beautiful and long eyelashes, her white and beautiful skin, her soft-looking lips, a sweet scent drifted up my nose, entering my lungs. I desperately tried to escape this smell, my body bending backward. But even so, I couldn’t escape her gaze. Escape that beautiful of a girl in front of me.

“W-With me…?” I gulped while asking, to which the chief’s cheeks turned bright red.

We were at a distance close enough our lips might touch at any moment. I could hear both of our hearts beating. And as her dampened eyes entranced me, she siad.

“I want to redo my own and only youth with my beloved Nanaya-kun!”

Bang! With the constant leaning backward and tension filling my body, my abs couldn’t hold out any longer. Together with a cold sensation hitting the back of my head, a sharp pain reverberated inside my brain.

“Urk…!”

“Huh? Nanaya-kun? Hey, are you okay?!”

Like that, I blanked out.

*

“Ouch…Err, wait, this place is…”

When I came to my senses, I was laying in the bed of the infirmary. Last I remember was me hitting my head on the fence up on the rooftop, and then…Did I pass out?

“Ah, you’re awake.”

The chief sat on a pipe chair next to the bed, looking at me.

“Chief…”

“Are you okay now? Does your head hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

“That’s good.”

“I’m sorry for making you worry.” I lowered my head at the smiling chief.

And then, I spaced out for a moment, just staring at her.

“W-What are you looking at?”

“Hmm, since you’re wearing your uniform, this must be after the time leap.”

“Of course? Don’t be stupid. If you traveled back to the future by hitting your head, that shrine would be a hoax.”

“No, I was just thinking that maybe it was all just a dream. My head is still a bit above the clouds.”

“Hey, you okay? You didn’t suffer from memory loss, right?” The chief looked at me, clearly worried.

“I’m fine, I remember what happened before I hit my head.”

“I-I see.” The chief blushed, averting her eyes.

What is she so embarrassed about? And why does she keep glancing at me?

“What are you fidgeting for, Chief? Did something happen?”

“…Huh?”

“Hm?”

“Y-You remember, right?”

“Well, yes. We ate lunch together on the rooftop.

And then…Err, what was it again? Um…

“Wait, why did I actually hit my head?”

“………”

“Weird. I remember eating the lunch you made for me, but then…Chief, do you remember?”

“Don’t talk to me!”

“Huh?! Why are you angry at me now?! Did I do something?”

“Urgh…dummy dummy dummy! You big dummy idiot!”

“Please tell me, Chief! Did I do something rude to you again?!”

“Think about it yourself! You won’t grow as a person if you keep relying on your superiors!”

“No way! Don’t say that, Chief!”

“Hmph, don’t talk to me, stupid Nanaya-kun!” She stuck out her tongue.

Is she angry, or possibly embarrassed at something? And yet, she suddenly placed her hand on my hand, gently ruffling through my hair.

“C-Chief?”

“This is payback for before.”

“R-Right.”

Her hand felt warm and all-too calming.

“Be a bit more careful next time, Nanaya-kun.” She gently smiled, looking as beautiful as ever.

I wonder, what is this person I have one-sided feelings for even thinking at this moment? I still don’t understand the reason why my strict boss is suddenly acting lovey-dovey with me.
