As usual, I was in the student council room.
This time, I was playing checkers with Sona.
This girl tried every intelligence game with me, but in the end, she always lost…
Even in a damn Uno match, she looked like she was about to cry. I mean,
I had hit her with a +10; if I were her,
I'd feel like shit too.
"Sona, just give up already. You lost at checkers, too," I said.
Sona lowered her head: "You beat me in every single intelligence game… I can't even create a situation that challenges you."
I leaned back in the chair: "Knowing when to retreat is also a sign of intelligence."
"So you're calling me stupid?" Sona said and slammed the table.
I raised my hands: "Whoa, calm down, girl. Are you on your period or something?"
"Bullshit!"
She looked like she was about to flip the entire table onto me.
Tsubaki grabbed Sona from behind: "Kaichou, calm down!"
"Tsubaki, I'm going to teach this guy a lesson," she said.
But my response was simple — I stuck out my tongue.
That dealt massive emotional damage: "Y-You… I could force you into marriage, you know that, right?"
"Kyahh!!! Sona's after my body! Tsubaki-senpai, help!!"
Everyone froze for a second…
Some burst out laughing: "Hey, stop laughing!" Sona shouted.
But even Tsubaki was giggling.
"Look, she's already causing domestic violence. I'm taking the kids and leaving," I said and hid behind the nearby blue-haired Yura, pointing at Sona.
"She's going to beat me, Yura-senpai! Save me!"
Yura sighed: "Arthur-kun, you're being way too dramatic!"
I stood up: "You're no fun at all. Maybe that's why you're such a tomboy?"
"Y-You!!!!!"
I backed toward the door while looking at Tsubaki: "Tsubaki, I'm leaving the calming-everyone-down job to you!"
"Why me…?"
"Take one for the team."
I slipped out the door and headed straight to the rooftop.
As always, the cat girl was sitting there.
I sat next to her.
I could tell she was getting stronger; she had started learning senjutsu…
Koneko handed me a cookie, and I took it: "Thanks."
"Were you with Sona Kaichou again?" she asked.
I took a bite of the cookie: "Yeah. It's quiet there, and trolling her is way too much fun."
"I finished RDR2… The game was really good, but Arthur Morgan didn't deserve that ending…"
She took the CD out of her bag and handed it to me: "Whether Arthur Morgan is a good guy or a bad guy depends on you. and How Micah killed you, btw."
"He shot me in the back…"
I was shocked.
This little cat had finished RDR2 on low honor: "Koneko… Did you seriously finish it on low honor!? I never thought someone like you would do that."
"…"
"Anyway, next time there's a game called Dark Souls. You might like it, but you'll probably curse me a lot. Still, it's perfect for anger control training," I said.
I chatted with Koneko a bit more.
My days were passing like this.
At least it was fun, I guess.
