“Don’t worry my sweet Tori, I’m sure we will be rescued in no time” Eichi says as he caresses the pink haired idol’s back in a calming way.
“But why is Yuzuru not answering! Wha— What if they left school and we have to stay here all night! And trapped… w-with that thing!!” Tori cries anxiously.
“Yuzuru won’t leave without you. He will undoubtedly search for you. To the end of the world if necessary.” Eichi smiles kindly at the first year student. “Also, Keito has to be in the school grounds too. He never leaves before me” He reassures.
“Kaichou! I lost sight of it! Where…— Where did it go!”
“It was next to Yuzuru’s desk just a minute ago, it’s not near us” Eichi claims while he searches around the room.
“What if it’s calling it’s family!” Tori weeps.
“I-I’m not sure they live in packs or families..? In any case, if this situation continues and no one comes in the next fifteen minutes, I-I’ll do something about it” The blond idol hugs his friend, trying to soothe his distress.
The Student Council room becomes quiet after that, with the two Fine idols in the room embracing each other, waiting patiently. Then, they heard the door opening.
When Keito enters the room he finds Eichi and Tori sitting on the blond’s desk and hugging one another.
“What the— What are you both doing!?” Keito exclaims confused.
“FUKUKAICHOU!” “Keito! Finally! Where were you!?”
Eichi and Tori’s desperate voices take the Akatsuki idol aback. “What’s going on? Are you two okay?”
“We find ourselves in a tricky situation… we require your aid Keito…” Eichi claims.
“It’s terrible! We are trapped! We can’t get out!” Tori cries.
Keito comes closer to the pair. “Tell me what it is—”
“AH! IT JUST MOVED! IT JUST MOVED! It’s there!” Tori shout makes Keito jump starlet.
“What! Wha— what’s there!!?” Keito questions alarmed, glaring in the direction Tori’s finger pointed.
“Kill it Keito! Please!” Eichi pleads while patting a distressed and sobbing Tori on the head.
“Kill what!?”
“The COCKROACH!” Both Eichi and Tori scream.
Keito blinks at them in bewilderment. “You.. you’re making all this fuss for.. for a…cockroach?”
“But It’s enormous! Gigantic!”
“Tori it’s right, Keito. The things is a monstrosity! It’s absolutely revolting!” Eichi affirms.
“You are being dramatic, it’s just an insect what can it do—”
“Fukukaichou! WATCH OUT!” Tori shouts.
Then Keito sees something pure black and as big as a shoe running incredibly fast at him. The Akatsuki idol in a panic throws the bag he has been carrying at the thing and climbs rapidly to Mao’s chair.
“What the— that can not be a cockroach! It’s too big! I-It’s gotta be a rat!” Keito says in a stressed tone glaring under him, searching for the animal.
“No, it’s a cockroach, we are sure! It’s been running from one side of the room to the other for the past half an hour!” Tori replies.
“I-It’s has to be some kind of mutation. That’s not normal!” Keito adds.
“That’s why we need you to kill it! We have tried to move towards the door, but the thing always comes after us when we do!” Eichi explains.
“But why haven’t you called someone to help you!” Keito asks.
“My phone it’s there! That’s the cockroach’s territory!” Tori signals to his desk.
“Mine it’s without battery. We did send you and Yuzuru an email using the computer, but neither of you replied to it!” Eichi responds.
“We were in the Archery Club, phones are not allowed there so we turned them off. But in any case, I’m not your bug killer!” Keito complains.
“Don’t tell me you’re afraid!” Eichi exclaims.
Keito scoffs. “You can be afraid, but I can’t? That thing is unnatural! It could cause diseases or be venomous!”
“Don’t be absurd Keito!”
“But then Kaichou can’t fight against it, It might kill him!” Tori says preoccupied.
“I’m not going to fight it! Keito is always annoying me with my health, trying to extend it. This is when I truly need you to save me, kill it Keito!”
“You’re not a damsel in distress! And I’m not a shining knight!” Keito protests. “I’m going to call for help”
“You’re not going to leave us here, are you Fukukaichou!” Tori questions distraught.
“No, I’m going to get my phone from my bag, so I can call the concierge to explain them our situation.” Keito responds.
The Akatsuki idol looks at the cockroach that is doing circles next to the wall near the entrance. He glares at his bag, which is located in the middle of the room, where he dropped it when he got scared by the thing following him. With a little sprint he thinks he can grab it fast without the insect noticing.
He is wrong.
As if deducing what Keito wants to do, once the green haired teen’s shoes touch the floor, the cockroach runs to his bag and begins moving around it.
Keito groans as he climbs back to the chair. “M-Maybe we could send them an email instead. Eichi, write to them”
“It’s going to take too long. Keito, please! It’s touching your things! Just squash it!” Eichi argues.
“Why me!?”
“Perhaps an incentive it’s necessary. Okay, how about this; I will only drink four cups of tea per day for a whole week!” Eichi declares.
“What kind of stupid incentive is th— wait a minute! How may cups do you usually drink!?”
“Okay, if not that then… ummm… how about, I will let you be my partner in PE this week!” Eichi suggests.
“It’s not worth it!” Keito scoffs.
“What do you mean it’s not worth it! Keito, I’m always worth it, you meanie childhood friend!” Eichi huffs pretending to be offended.
“I don’t care!” Keito objects.
Tori watches the pair of childhood friends’ discussion and wanting to stop it, he blurts “Kaichou will kiss you!”
Both Eichi and Keito fall silent and turn to glare at the pink haired boy with shocked faces.
“Oh?” Eichi dithers.
“H-Himemiya, don’t say stupid things! Eichi won’t do something like that…”
“If you saves us he will!” Tori claims without consulting with his unit’s leader.
Eichi fixes his eyes on the first year boy, his cheeks coloring in a light shade of red. “I’m sure Keito would prefer a cute kiss from sweet Tori”
“No, I don’t!” Keito exclaims.
Eichi blinks looking at Keito surprised. The Akatsuki idol realizes the implicit meaning of what he just claimed. “I-I don’t want a kiss from you neither, Eichi!”
Eichi furrows his eyebrows offended. “What do you mean you don’t want to kiss me! Why not! Do you see me as someone unkissable?”
“N-No..— I didn’t say that!” Keito argues.
“You don’t deserve to feel my soft lips against yours anyway, Keito. It’s your loss!” Eichi says in a childish way.
“Same to you! You incorrigible brat!” The Akatsuki idol protests.
“Don’t fight! Kaichou! He is our only way to get out! A kiss is a fair reward for killing the beast!” Tori presses.
“H-Himemiya…”
“Just like the stories from the mangas! Kaichou will use tongue!” Tori declares.
Keito gasps loudly glaring at the Student Council’s secretary with widen and stupefied eyes as well as a flustered face. “Himemiya! What the—”
Next to Tori, Eichi also stares at his unit mate with a shocked and embarrassed face, his cheeks wearing a light shade of pink. “Keito! What k-kind of mangas are you lending my sweet Tori!”
“N-Nothing scandalous like that!”
“Fukukaichou please! I want to go home! I need to pee!” Tori weeps.
Keito groans out loud. He adjust his glasses and sighs. “F-Fine.. I-I’ll…—Just so you both stop yelling and we can leave this place…”
The green haired idol grabs one of the folders from Mao’s desk and gets down form the chair. The cockroach hasn’t moved in the last minutes, so Keito advances slowly and quietly towards it. He prays to Buddha for help while Eichi and Tori hold their breaths, watching the scene before them with their hands intertwined together.
Once Keito is at an arm range of the insect, he stops to fold the document in a cylinder shape so he can squash it more precisely. He lifts his arm, his face showing disgust as he looks at the cockroach, but before he manages to hit it, the door of the Student Council room opens abruptly.
“I’m glad that your practice with Trickstar was satisfactory Isara-sama. I’m sure Kaichou-sama will be cheering for you in the next event…” Yuzuru and Mao enter the room chatting and complete unaware of everything happening inside the office.
The sound from he door opening starlets the cockroach, which begins running fast towards the entrance.
Keito squeaks and quickly jumps away from the insects trajectory. Eichi and Tori yell and gasp too, which catches the attention of both Yuzuru and Mao who glare at them with alarmed and staggered faces.
“YUZURU CRUSH IT!” Tori yells.
His Master’s scared voice, as well as his military education, makes Yuzuru hyperaware of his surroundings and he quickly spots a big black bug coming at them. With incredible reflexes he moves to step on it, and finally crushes the insect.
After the crunchy sound coming from Yuzuru’s shoe, the Student Council room falls in silence for a few seconds, until Keito lefts out a relieved breath and both Eichi and Tori suspire and clap happily.
“Yuzuru! Thank you! I love you!” Tori exclaims getting down from the desk and walking towards his butler.
“B-Bocchama?” Yuzuru blushes a little bit at Tori’s words.
“Oh that was a very big bug! What was it?” Mao questions in a calm tone, glaring at Yuzuru’s shoe, and then at the other members of the Student Council.
“A cockroach Saru! We were trapped! It was horrible!” Tori replies.
“T-Trapped! For a cockroach..”
“As expected, Yuzuru saves the day. Thank you very much. You’re much more reliable than Keito” Eichi says joining the other idols.
“A-At least I t-tried to do something!” Keito says panting, still unsettled.
“Umm and you want me to be grateful to you for failing to kill the beast?” Eichi sends Keito a mocking gaze.
“Ungrateful brat… —” Keito huffs indignant, but is interrupted by Eichi’s kiss on his cheek.
Even though the kiss lasts only for a second, Keito can feel the heat on his cheek in the place Eichi’s lips touched his skin. The Akatsuki idol brushes his hand against his face and stares at Eichi with bewilderment, just like the other three idols of the Student Council.
“T-That’s all you deserve for your little act of bravery.” Eichi clears his throat, trying to mask his flushing face. “Anyway, Tori, Yuzuru, I’ll drive you home. Let’s get out of this room, after this afternoon’s little adventure it feels a little bit suffocating. See you tomorrow Isara-kun” The blond smiles at the treasurer and rapidly exits the room.
Tori quickly follows his unit leader and Yuzuru, after cleaning the cockroach remains, does the same; leaving Mao and a still petrified Keito in the room.
“Kaichou your face is super red!” Tori’s cute voice could faintly be heard from the end of hallway.
Mao glances at Keito whose face is also displaying a scarlet color. He mentally chuckles. “Fukukaichou? Do you need something?”
Keito wakes up from his trance and glared at his junior. “Ah, no, no, Isara. I—I’m going to go home too, I don’t think I will be very productive in h-here today…”
Mao nods. “I understand. Don’t worry, I can close the room myself”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course” The Trickstar idol smiles.
“Well then, I— Thank you Isara, h-have a good night” Keito says before grabbing his things and leaving the room.
Mao glances at the now empty room. “Those two are truly hopeless” He chuckles amused.
