Fateful Competition — Part 2

◆ Hiiragi Haruka ◆
“Sensei, Sana will also participate in the Miss Contest.”
That was the first thing that she said during the sudden call that I received from Sana.
“Really!? I’ll also be participating, so let’s both do our best!”
That’s a relief. There’s at least one student that I know. Now I won’t be as self-conscious.
“I’m not talking about that—”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nnnn~ You’re so dense…!”
Sana’s tone over the phone seemed very irritated.
“T-that’s rude. I’m doing my best here. I’m not dense at all.”
“A-anyways, Sana—won’t lose to Sensei!”
The call was then cutoff all of a sudden.
“…What was with that phone call?”
After tilting my head in wonder, I returned to the staff room to finish up the work I had left.
That night. When I told Natsumi about what had happened through a text, another call came.
“Haru-chan, Haru-chan!”
“What? Why did you call me all of a sudden?”
Natsumi’s voice seemed excited for some reason.
“And then! What did Hiiragi-sensei say back in reply to Sana-chan!?”
S-she’s pursuing this super hard!?
“Eh? I just said let’s both do our best…”
“Gaaah, you don’t understand! You don’t understand at all! Of course, Sana-chan would call you dense after that!”
“Eh? Why?”
Is it weird to say that when we’re both going to participate together?
“Basically, Sana-chan declared war on you. She came to compete with you over Thief-kun.”
“I see. Sana-chan’s pretty cute.”
I guess she wants to show her brother how good she is. As I was busy nodding to myself, I heard a sigh over the phone.
“That’s how it is. So don’t treat her like a child, and properly face her as an equal.”
“I mean, I don’t intend on losing either, you know? I want to show Seiji-kun how good I am after all.”
“That’s the spirit, Haru-chan!”
I was forced into participating, but if that’s the case, I still want to win. I want to be a girlfriend that Seiji-kun can be proud of… Although, we can’t officially announce our relationship.
“I see, I see, so it’s finally come to the direct confrontation… this really riles me up…!”
“You’re making fun of us aren’t you? Even during the sports festival, you forcefully fanned the flames.”
“I need to do my best to support Sana-chan.”
“Why!?”
“Why, well, I mean isn’t it boring if it’s won by the clear winner?”
B-boring? Isn’t it fine like that?
“A-at least people who are related should cheer for each other. You really should. The way it currently is makes me feel like the only villain.”
“With that logic, that means Thief-kun should be cheering for Sana-chan, right?”
…
“W-wait, don’t actually be shocked by that!”
“S-Seiji-kun will cheer for me…”
“With that little energy in your voice, there’s no persuasiveness in it at all.”
