Chapter 217 - Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [14] (1/2)

217. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [14]

Seating in her usual seat, the president spoke with a tense look on her face.

「A-Allen-kun… Could you sit here today?」

She said, patting the seat next to her.

「Yes, okay.」

I sat down there without asking why.

「……」

「……」

For a few seconds after that, we simply looked at each other and kept silent.

(Should I, as the man, broach the subject?)

When I was thinking about that,

「I-Isn’t it kind of getting hot?」

She said in a high-pitched voice and for some reason loosened her uniform tie and unbuttoned her uniform around her chest.

From the gap in the uniform, I caught a fleeting glimpse of her vibrant skin and the mounds on her chest.

「……」

I try not to be conscious of it, and said the first words that came to mind.

「Eh, uh… It’s winter now, though?」

「…!? A-Ah, I made a mistake there.」

「Y-Yeah…」

「……」

「……」

For a while after that, an indescribable atmosphere loomed.

(Was that the president’s joke right now?)

(A-As expected of Allen-kun, he’s a『monster of reason』. He definitely saw it a little, but he still kept calm.)

As the second hand of the clock slowly ticked the passage of time,

「A-Actually, onee-san can do palm fortune-telling!」

She suddenly brought up an unrelated topic.

「Palm fortune-telling?」

「Yes, that’s right. I’ll specially read Allen-kun’s palm fortune today! C-Come on, show me your hand!」

「Y-Yes…」

When I held out my right hand as requested, for some reason, the president gulped and wrapped my hand in her slightly trembling hands.

「Hmm, hmm, I see…」

She bends over a little and traces my life line with her fingers.

Her smooth, slender finger ran across my palm. It tickled a little.
