Volume 2 - Chapter 21: The Dangers of Teasing 2
A few days later, in the clubroom after school.
"Is it true that no matter where, no matter who, and no matter what, guys never suspect their own popularity?"
Said the president.
Kyouya was taken by surprise.
Immediately, the survival instincts that all weaklings possess had told Kyouya that this was revenge for the earlier "Prince on White Horse Incident" where he had teased the president.
What cruel and unusual punishment was to befall him?
Kyouya's body stiffened from imagining such a thing.
Would he be bitten, gnawed, or chewed?
For some reason, the president had begun to twirl her fingers in front of herself, and her vision was darting around back and forth. She was surrounded by a peculiar atmosphere.
She didn't feel like the usual president.
She felt more like a normal girl.
"You know, I—"
The president started speaking while playing with her hair.
"Since the day you came here, I've always been glad that you're here with us."
"W-what's going on, Prez? Suddenly—"
"Oh, just listen to me, ok? Hear me out."
"I'm listening."
The president smiled and then quickly put on a serious face once more, looking nervous all over.
Kyouya was at a loss.
For now, he sat up straight in his chair and put on an earnest expression of his own.
"I tease you, kick you, and bite you a lot, but it's not because I don't like you or anything, you know? Do you understand?"
"Umm, yes. I understand."
"Yeah, it's good that you understand."
The president nodded with satisfaction.
"Really. I'll tell you this now. It's you, after all. You're a nice guy, everyone thinks so. Right, Megu?"
"Yes, that's right. Kyouya-san is a good person."
"You like him too, right?"
No matter what, guys—:
The phrase "No matter what, guys—" is something Mao heard from her classmate, her precocious neighbour.

Mao: Stupid. Don't make me say it.
