The Cheeky Junior Gal Becomes Too Cute When She Gets Attached to Me-Chapter 7Volume 1 .3 - The Junior Gal Cant Run Anymore
The Junior Gal Can’t Run Anymore
In terms of achieving the goal of crushing Shirahata, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.
Still, I hated myself for being able to handle such a thing well. It was the worst method.
Because it was merely personal vengeance, and yet the impact was far too great.
My father, for instance, would never resort to such means.
Therefore, this was nothing but an act of a villain.
Being aware of that, I couldn’t feel happy even though it had ended successfully.
“Well, his dismissal is certain now.”
Even without the issues concerning Monaka and me, Shirahata had been repeating problematic behaviors.
Just a little investigation would reveal a plethora of evidence.
In that case, I should have just handed it over to the principal or someone higher up. As the Student Council President, that would have been easy for me.
But then, there was a possibility it would be covered up… just like what happened to my father at his company.
To achieve a perfect victory, I had no choice but to be thorough about everything.
That’s what I told myself, but the feeling of self-loathing didn’t disappear.
I looked up at the ceiling while leaning against the wall.
That’s when it happened.
“Senpai!”
The sound of the door being flung open echoed through the room.

“Senpai, you’re here!”
“…Monaka.”
Before I could continue with ‘why are you here…’, Monaka nearly lunged at me and embraced me tightly.
In a panic, I spread my arms wide to catch her.
“Senpai, you idiot.”
“I know. It wasn’t exactly the smartest move.”
“No, that’s not it. You didn’t need to get hurt just to save someone like me.”
“I’m not hurt.”
I think Reiya said something similar?
I, who had no intention of being hurt, quickly denied it.
“That’s a lie. Senpai, you’re the kindest person to me, so you must be suffering.”
Monaka smiled sadly and pressed her forehead against my chest.
“Kind? There’s no one with a worse personality than me. This time too, I just crushed Shirahata because he pissed me off.”
“It was for me, wasn’t it?”
“Don’t be so self-conscious. Are you the type that thinks you yourself are cute or something?”
“You would have handled it much better if it were just for Senpai alone. Without taking risks and making sure to profit from it.”
“What is that, am I some kind of super agent? You’re overestimating me.”
I joked and let out a dry laugh.
But Monaka didn’t even crack a smile.
“But then, Senpai would be fine, but I would still be targeted by Shirahata Sensei. That’s why we had to go this far.”
“You’re interpreting things too conveniently. I did it for myself.”
“There you go again, Senpai.”
Monaka protested by rubbing her head harder against me.
A grave mistake. I didn’t mean to put Monaka on the spot.
…No, whatever I did, Monaka would have been concerned.
She’s a sensitive girl.
“After all, Senpai really is kind.”
“No, I’m quite the bad guy. Even now, I’m happily hugging my junior.”
“It’s fine even if it’s just me who thinks you’re kind. Your comments are creepy though!”
Finally, Monaka laughed at my joke.
She stepped back from me and lightly punched me in the chest.
“Thank you.”
“Yeah.”
I should at least accept the thanks graciously.
It was just a little and purely coincidental, but I think it helped Monaka too.
“Can I come to the Student Council room again?”
“Only if you’re going to work.”
“Leave it to me if the job is to support Senpai!”
“By the way, getting in the way is not a job, you know.”
“Eh~. But that’s what I’m best at.”
It’s been two weeks, but we banter like old friends.
After all, this is how Monaka should be.
“Uh, I need to get back to class soon.”
“That’s right.”
The marathon event lasts until the second period. Regular classes resume from the third period.
Monaka glanced at the clock and hurried towards the exit.
“Then, I’ll come again after school!”
“Are you some kind of free spirit haunting this place?”
“Shut up… hey, Senpai.”
While holding the doorknob, Monaka blushed.
“…I love you.”
“What?”
Monaka left, and the door closed with a bang.
It seemed impossible to pretend I hadn’t clearly heard those words.

…By the way, the aftermath went mostly as I expected.
Shirahata resigned due to personal reasons and disappeared from the school the next day.
And not that it matters, but Watauchi Reiya won first place in the marathon.
As usual, he’s a physical powerhouse.
However, he’s still not popular.
Kawana seems to be bad at physical activities and apparently retired midway.
I’ll tease her about it next time.
I wasn’t particularly blamed for anything. At most I got a stern warning from Kugenuma Sensei to “never do it again.”
Well, I wouldn’t do such a thing unless it was necessary.
When I said that, I got scolded with “Don’t do it even if it’s necessary.”
Ah, there was one thing that unexpectedly turned out better than I thought.
——Ooba Monaka started coming to the Student Council room again.
