Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings – Russian Episode 4 Recap

Upon completing their shopping, Masachika Kuze and Maria make their way back to the student council office where they run into Kenzaki, the president. Kenzaki commends Masachika and inquires if he has reconsidered joining the council. However, the protagonist remains uncertain as he lacks a clear goal or ambition to join.

Despite Kenzaki’s reminder that a grand ambition is not necessary to become a member of the team, the bespectacled boy shares his personal history of self-transformation and becoming the president in order to win the affection of his crush.

While talking, Kenzaki reveals to Kuze that he has tasked Alya with settling a conflict between the football and baseball teams due to the vice president’s absence. He believes it will be a valuable learning opportunity for her, but he is concerned about the possibility of her encountering trouble.
