◇ Student Council Room
Today, there are no student council activities, so I decided to use the student council room, including the officers.
“Well… first, I want to get a grasp of the current situation. Matsumura-san, where does the teacher’s wife live now?”
“Uh… in an apartment a bit away from the station… I think the name was something like ‘President.’ But I’ve never been there, so I don’t know the exact address or which floor she lives on.”
“Is that so? Thank you for the valuable information. Then, first, let’s find that ‘President’ apartment and locate the room where they live.”
As I said that, Chitose, lying on the guest sofa, asked, “Honestly, what are you going to do even if you find it?”
“…Well, that’s the hardest part, isn’t it? Honestly, it might be best if we don’t get involved in what happens next. For now, let’s just find them and observe. It wouldn’t hurt to gather information, including their basic behavior patterns.”
“…I have club activities… so it might be hard for me to participate except for today…”
“That’s fine. Kei, you don’t have to push yourself. In fact, I also have student council activities, so it’s hard for me to act frequently, and I can’t keep watch during school hours… But actually, there’s one person here who can move freely even during the day.”
As I said that, everyone turned their eyes to Chitose, who was lying on the sofa.
“…Huh? Me!? No way! I’m the type of girl who can’t stay still! They call me the ‘tuna of track and field’!”
“…Tuna? You mean you’re insensitive?”
“No! Not that kind of tuna! I’m super sensitive! I’m so sensitive I can get off just from my nipples!”
“Sorry to interrupt your comedy skit ‘Tuna,’ but can we get back to the topic?”
“You just made a joke out of me… Well, I don’t have anything to do even if I skip school, so whatever…”
“Are you sure your attendance is okay?”
“Huh? Well, I’ll manage somehow.”
“…””
Well, I don’t think she’ll manage, but no one said it out loud.
“Then, let’s first check the location on the map.”
So, I quickly found the ‘President’ apartment nearby on my phone.
I thought that maybe my cousin’s girlfriend had been given false information, but…
I remember the teacher said that when he called his wife’s parents, they hung up after one ring.
I had assumed that her parents were also rotten, but given that she seems to be in regular contact with other relatives, another possibility comes to mind.
In other words, there’s a chance that those two are lying to their family.
For example, if she said something like, ‘My husband’s domestic violence is terrible…’ her parents would sympathize and wouldn’t answer the teacher’s calls.
“Matsumura-san, have you heard anything from your parents about the reason for the teacher’s divorce?”
“I haven’t heard anything. It seems like the adults are talking about something, though…”
Well, what should we do?
If they’re lying, we might be able to break them from the inside…
But is it okay to share this strategy with this group…?
Kei, the busty volleyball girl, Chitose, the problem child, and Matsumura-san, the ex-wife’s cousin.
I’m the only one who can come up with strategies, and they don’t seem like they’d be good at acting.
It looks like the burden on me is going to be quite heavy…
“…Well, what should we do?”
◇
“What should we have for dinner tonight?”
“Hmm. Anything is fine. Whatever Aya makes, I’ll eat it.”
Kouta said with a cheerful smile.
It had been about two weeks since we started living together.
What is that person doing now? It’s not something I, who abandoned them, should be thinking about.
“You look down. Are you okay? Did something happen?”
“Ah, no, nothing… Then, let’s have omelet rice tonight.”

I’m the worst.
