Bab 881: Miku’s Dream
Too lazy to explain, Shinichi said casually, taking the official documents brought by Itsuki and reading them indifferently.
"I see..."
Itsuki felt like she had found a strange girl's phone number on her husband's phone, but she couldn't let it go.
As the vice president, although according to school rules, she had the right to make the president transparent and open regarding official matters, she couldn't help but worry about Shinichi's feelings.
No matter what, she didn't want to be hated by him.
Itsuki stood behind Shinichi, pouring tea and pondering this issue with confusion.
At that moment, a soft knock was heard on the door. After Shinichi said, "Please come in." the red-haired beautiful teacher entered the student council room with firm steps, emitting a refreshing aroma.
"The principal sent some snacks, let's take a break."
It was clearly a great thing, but because of her cold expression and tone, no one thought to cheer.
Putting bag on the table, Mafuyu glanced around at everyone in the student council room and gestured for them to come and eat the snacks.
"Huh? Is this... the bakery in front of the station?" Nino quickly recognized the brand on the bag and was surprised. "I heard that the cakes there are hard to get. Every time I go there, I see long queues."
"As expected of the principal, she's very generous~" Ichika praised insincerely, her smile on her face only blooming for the delicious-looking snacks.
There were various kinds of cakes, as well as desserts like yokan, pudding, lemon tart, etc. The variety was extensive, and the sales were phenomenal. The girls sighed, and the once quiet student council room suddenly became lively.
Fumino invited Rizu to sit down and took out the snacks from the bag and prepared them. Miku and Yotsuba helped make tea, but Nino came and argued with Miku about whether the tea should be made with black tea or green tea. Yotsuba felt very stressed and wanted to break up the fight but felt it unnecessary.
Itsuki placed the specially brewed tea for Shinichi on the table. She glanced at the delicious desserts on the table and hesitantly and carefully turned her hand in front of her.
"Asada-kun..."
"Since this is the principal's kindness, let's eat." Shinichi stood up from his office chair and didn't forget the fragrant hot tea on the table. "But you shouldn't eat too much, at most one."
The smile that came out couldn't hold back a pause, Itsuki asked hesitantly.
"...Can two be okay?"
"No."
"What if... I exercise again?"
"You lose weight by controlling your eating habits."
"It's weight loss!... Forget it, it's not important. Can't I do both?"
"Let's wait until you lose one kilogram. Besides, sugar isn't easily consumed."
"What are you saying, if I do exercises like that..."
"What did you say? I really didn't hear you clearly this time."
"No, it's nothing! Just one, let's eat the cake!"
Including the bewildered-looking Shinichi and the blushing Itsuki, everyone in the student council sat around the table.
Mafuyu didn't join them. Even if Fumino wanted to make room for her, she shook her head and only accepted the tea handed to her by Itsuki. Leaning against the cupboard, she sipped it from time to time, silent like an outsider.
She looked at everyone sharing tea with each other lively, laughing and joking happily, and the corners of her mouth curved into a gentle smile, and before she was found out, she hid in a corner where no one could see.
Suddenly something crossed her mind, Mafuyu hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "By the way, there's something I want to ask you."
"What?"
Everyone's eyes were on her. Some straightened up, put down the cake, and looked attentively. Others held forks in their mouths and tilted their heads in confusion.
Mafuyu didn't care, so she continued to ask.
"Today I compiled a questionnaire for the third-year students' future, which made me interested in your choices. Although you're not yet in the third year, I still want to know, have you made plans for the future now?"
She spoke very seriously, staring into everyone's eyes alternately, and ignoring Shinichi as if she didn't see him.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to answer.
Considering it as agreement if there was no response, Mafuyu shifted her attention and asked Fumino.
"Furuhashi-san, although I've heard you say it before... Is your dream still the same?"
"Um, nothing has changed." Fumino said without hesitation, with a hint of determination hidden in her gentle and cheerful smile, "No matter how many times I fail, I will still be accepted into the astronomy department to realize my dream!"
"Ogata-san too?"
"Of course." Rizu nodded, her tone calm and firm, "Apart from inheriting the udon shop at home, my only goal is to major in psychology. No matter who says it, it will never change."
"I understand." Mafuyu's expression remained unchanged, but the figure leaning against the cupboard seemed slightly relaxed, and relief appeared in her eyes.
As long as they didn't talk about relationships, Rizu and Fumino were the students she felt most comfortable with and most proud of.
"So, what about Ichika-san?"
"Me? Of course, after I get my diploma, I'll focus on becoming famous~" Ichika said with a smile, her tone careless, making it impossible to guess whether she was telling the truth or lying.
"As for me, open a restaurant." Nino crossed her arms and seemed to have already decided on her goal. There was no confusion in her eyes, and she just said it plainly.
"I haven't decided if I want to go to college. If I do, I want to attend a cooking school."
"The Totsuki Academy looks good. They will soon open a university department. After graduating, I can become a student there."
"I..." Miku looked at Shinichi, catching his gaze, blinking, and suddenly showing a gentle smile.
"I can go anywhere, as long as I can be with Shinichi, it doesn't matter."
Her voice was light, but it hid a sweet feeling that penetrated deep into her heart.
"Miku..."
Everyone looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to be so straightforward.
Under everyone's gaze, Miku felt her face heat up slightly, and she felt a numb and awkward feeling in her heart. However, she didn't shy away from the confused feeling. Instead, she chose to straighten her back and openly stare at the person she liked.
"Before, I thought about becoming a nurse or continuing my higher education and keep studying history and culture. Maybe I could write a small column or something in the future."
"But this isn't a dream, it's just something I can do, and it doesn't matter if I do it or not."
"So, if we're talking about dreams, there's only one left."
She said very firmly: "With everyone, with Shinichi... As long as I'm not alone, I can do anything."
"My dream is not to be separated."
