Chapter 27
When I set my eyes on Shiran-san, I had a faint feeling that it could be her . . .
Although I think of that girl as my destined partner, we only exchanged some words for a few minutes at a dinner party . Moreover, several years have passed since then . The girl that day also grew up during those years, so her appearance may have changed .
Above all, Shiran-san didn’t seem to recognize me at all . Even if she was the girl, there was always the possibility she wouldn’t recognize me at first . . . Though there is no doubt that Shiran-san seemed aware of me during our first meeting . But that wasn’t enough to be convinced .
I can’t live in doubt forever . And it will be a hassle if I involve Margaret, so I had to create an opportunity to meet Shiran-san soon . While I was thinking about how to do it, Shiran-san conveniently came to the student room .
I thought it was a great opportunity to check and see if it was the girl . I also put out the special souffle cakes made for visitors, I knew this was good enough to keep her here with Margaret not being here . I was a little surprised that Shiran-san was so eager to eat, but thanks to that, it became easier to cut to the point . So I asked her that question .
“Cosmos-san is Cosmos-san, Don’t let others decide for you . You know yourself best . So now matter how you live . . . I think Cosmos-san knows themself best . ”
The moment she said that, my heart began to race .
No doubt . Shiran-san is the girl that changed my life . I know for sure .
I felt like I was floating . Because of that, I was too late on the draw to notice Shiran-san’s fall . I could only reach out to the staggering girl . But she was out of reach, and fell to the wall, hitting her head .
“Watch out!!”
A loud noise reverberated in the room, drowning out my cry . I stared at the collapsed Shiran-san for a few seconds . . . Once my sanity returned, I rushed to Shiran-san .
There was no blood . However she was not conscious . Cold sweat dripped down my head . Even though we finally reunited, why did this have to happen?
No, it’s not the time to be cursing destiny .
“Hold on Shiran-san, I’ll be right back . ”
I rushed to call the nurse . As the vice president, it is bad to see me running down the hallway . So I tried to go through the courtyard and take the shortest route . At that time I saw a group of students preparing something in the center of the courtyard . It was then I caught the sight of Margaret .
“Margaret . . . !!”
“Oh Cosmos . Don’t be running in the hallway . Oh, if you have some spare time, do you mind helping me with something . ”
I can’t afford to have Margaret go on a tangent .
“No not right now . . . Shiran-san fainted!!”
“””What!??!”””
Hearing my cry, Margaret and students behind her yelled in surprise .

“Anyways, I’ll get the nurse! You look after Shiran-san, she is in the student council room . ”
Giving her the bare minimum, I continued my journey towards the medical office .
“Hey, Camellia . It’s Shiran’s birthday today, so I was wondering if we could set up a surprise party?”
It was Iris-san that came up with the idea . It seems that she had recovered her relationship with Shiran-san after the day of the ball . I know that the relationship between the two was important to both of them, so it’s relieving to hear they got it back .
I myself have been indebted to Shiran-san for coming with me to my home the other day . So of course I’ll agree to a surprise party .
When I tried to answer, a familiar voice came from behind .
“I think that’s a wonderful idea . As the student council president, I will help you in this endeavor to celebrate a student . ”
“I’m sure Shiran-sama will be happy . . . I’ll help you . ”
“I wonder if giving Shiran-chan my body would be a good president? If that’s a possibility, I’m all in . ”
President Margaret, Anemone-san, and Lily-san . . . They always appear unexpectedly . Don’t they have anything better to do? Well, the more people there are, the more elaborate the party can be . However Lily’s surprise gift is absolutely rejected .

As we were preparing the scene, the sounds of somebody running came closer . Looking back towards the noise, it was the vice president of the student council .
Well she has nothing to do with us . So I went back to my work, when suddenly some words made my ears jump .
“No, now isn’t the time . . . Shiran-san has fainted!”
I messed up . . .
I, Lily Michelet, have unfortunately failed this morning .
On the day of Shiran-chan’s birthday, I was assigned the role of keeping her away from the surprise party location .
So originally, If I just asked her to kill time with me after school that would be good enough, but . . . I saw the potential, and thought, why not also stay with me in the morning? The devils in my head got the best of me .
And my prank may have gone too far, it was too much to take out the collar . Well, I can’t deny that I was half serious about it .
For that reason, Shiran-chan escaped from me after school .

I’m an idiot, an idiot!
This might make everybody mad at me . . . While looking for Shiran-chan, I saw Camellia and the others running towards me from the hallway .
What happened? I know I messed up, so I stopped and prepared to get lectured .
However, they all ignored me and ran past . I don’t know why .
It was Anemone at the back that called out to me with an upset and pale face .
“Shiran-sama . . . Shiran-sama has fainted . ”
. . . Eh?
For a second I couldn’t process it . Anemone-chan after saying that continued to chase after Camellia and them .
Shiran-chan . . . Fainted? Was it because I wasn’t watching her?
The reality sank heavy into me, I couldn’t even muster myself to move for a while .
