Stealing Spree

Chapter 2214: Helping out



Shizu's work as a Student Council President involved a lot of things that I would rather not list. But seeing her drowned in paperwork told a lot about how she needs more hands.

She didn't even have someone handling General Affairs. She's going out there herself to resolve issues. Of course, she's also sending out either the dog, Inugaki the Vice President, or the couple when they have nothing more productive to do.

But during the time that I had yet to breach her shell, she was only having them do what their positions entailed. The Vice President assisted her on things she would rather set aside. Watanabe as Treasurer made sure that all funds and budget were accounted for, Masato - senpai as the Secretary would sometimes go out to send accomplishment reports to the faculty or handle documentation.

They were surprisingly efficient with their work. There was no doubt about that despite what I've seen during my time here.

However, it was clear that much of the workload still fell on Shizu's shoulders. She was the glue holding everything together, taking on responsibilities beyond her position just to ensure things ran smoothly.

Now that I had become the Disciplinary Officer - which could be seen as an extension of the council, she didn't hesitate to pull me back in to help. Not that I minded. I mean, that was my job before she created this official position for me. And as her man, seeing her swamped like this made me want to lighten her burden, even if it was just a little.

As I sat beside her, she passed me a few documents without a word. It was a request from a few club presidents for assistance with their upcoming events. The Cultural Festival preparations were starting to ramp up, and a lot of clubs were submitting plans that needed approval.

Just like what they told me a few days ago, they would be creating a committee for it next week. Haruko would be there to help her - as for what kind of plan they were cooking for it, I just had to wait and see.

"You don't need to go easy on me, you know. I'm here to help you," I said, glancing at her from the corner of my eye.

Even though she was concentrating on work, I couldn't help but continue stealing glances at her immaculate beauty.

I was a pervert, alright. I couldn't have enough of admiring my girls.

Anyway, Shizu didn't respond immediately. She kept scribbling notes on the paper in front of her before finally speaking, giving responses to the request written on it.

Following that, she replied, her soft voice filled with a slight edge of playfulness. "I'm not going easy on you, numbskull. You think you can handle more than that?"

"Try me." I confidently answered.

I only have two things lined up for my duty as a Disciplinary Officer today; wait for Ryouko- san so we can discuss the next problem student I have to handle and patrol the school while putting the clubhouse visit along the way.

I can spend some time here helping out.

As for the job Komoe mentioned, I'll get to that later.

Shizu leered at me as a small smile tugged at her lips.

Following that, she handed over another stack of papers as an answer to my challenge.

"Here. These are club activity reports. Cross-check them with last week's attendance. We need to make sure they're not inflating their participation numbers."

"Got it." I happily complied which made the girl nod in approval.

With a pile of documents now in front of me, I set to work.

As mundane as it seemed, being by her side like this, helping her manage the chaos, was oddly fulfilling.

I could feel Shizu's subtle appreciation in the way she handed me tasks without hesitation. Trusting me to get things done.

As we started working, Komoe would sometimes stand up to consult me or Shizu about the work left to her.

Of course, as her 'boss', I didn't leave her alone there. Whenever I see her knitting her brows, I would stand to check on her, helping her not to get overwhelmed or stressed.

And at one point, I once again put my tea-making skill to the test as I made a whole pot for everyone in the room.

When Inugaki showed up, I ignored his presence and openly made disdainful remarks, enraging him until he left by himself.

Shizu scolded me for it since that guy was still doing his work despite his hate for me. However, secretly, she praised me as well since she's starting to get annoyed with his schtick. Should I do something to get a valid reason to get him kicked out of the council? But knowing his reputation... there are still some students looking up to him. I mean, he's kinda well- known too.

I guess I'll check on Enomoto if he has an idea. I should make use of our connection that's offering no hostility to each other, no?

That dog aside, Masato-senpai was still okay to be here. He's that one supporter of Shizu who helped campaign for her run last year.

I also had no beef with him other than his suspicions that his girlfriend was getting awfully close to me. Really, it's Watanabe's fault for being so curious about us.

Speaking of Watanabe, she kept fidgeting in her seat like she wanted to tell me something but couldn't find the right moment. I wasn't sure if it was because Masato-senpai was around or if she was still deciding whether to share it.

I don't really know if it's because of Masato-senpai being around or if she's still deliberating whether to tell me about it or not.

I won't push her to it though. She can have all the time to think about it. It's probably not that important.

After handing out the tea, I returned to work. For the next twenty minutes, the Student Council Room was comfortably quiet, filled only with the sound of rustling papers and pens scratching across them.

Occasionally, I'd glance over to see Shizu in deep concentration, her hand moving swiftly across the page.

But every time she'd catch me looking, she'd raise an eyebrow in that teasing way of hers.

"Stop staring, numbskull," she remarked without looking up from her papers. "Just lean in and kiss me if you can't hold it in."

Hearing that made me chuckle. Even without looking at me, she already knew what was running in my head.

"Can you blame me? My Shizu looks stunning when she's deep in work."

At that, the girl turned her head to me and rolled her eyes. Nonetheless, I could see the playful glint passing through her expression.

"Put that tongue to better use." She said, her lips parting open as if inviting me to claim it.

Without missing a beat, I leaned over and kissed her lightly. Her hand paused on her work and she leaned back, her eyes closing for a brief moment to accept it.

It was a small gesture but it filled the room with a warmth that seemed to drive the stress

away.

When we pulled back from the short yet fulfilling intimate moment, Shizu smacked me lightly on the cheek as she licked her lips, "Now get back to work. You're going to help me to finish half of this before I let you go do your job."

Her cheeks were tinged pink, but she wore a smirk that told me she enjoyed the brief

distraction.

"Yes, ma'am." I saluted and went back to the documents.

When Komoe returned for another question, I also gave her some encouragement in the form

of a kiss.

Watanabe who witnessed all that looked like she was a kettle about to whistle.

And just like this, the time in the Student Council passed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When we accomplished what she set, Shizu reluctantly let me go. But before doing so, I kissed her again, this time longer and fulfilling enough to energize her for the rest of her work here.

After saying goodbye to Watanabe and Masato-senpai, I brought Komoe, who picked up the stack of papers that Shizu assigned for my office, next door.
