Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian - Episode 4

In Episode 4, President Kenzaki skillfully attempts to recruit Masachika for the student council. He shares his own reasons for joining and emphasizes that Masachika doesn’t need grand ambitions to participate. Kenzaki himself joined to become better for Sarashina Chisaki, and Masha joined because Chisaki asked her to.

Kenzaki mentions that Alya is mediating a dispute between the baseball and soccer clubs, which piques Masha’s curiosity. When he arrives, he sees Alya struggling to calm the agitated clubs. The members aren’t listening to her and are talking over each other. Overwhelmed, Alya mutters in Russian, "help me." Masachika, who is nearby, hears her plea and steps in. He introduces himself as "Student Council, General Affairs" and quickly devises a solution: the baseball club will use the riverside field, while the soccer managers assist with logistics.

Masachika’s knowledge of the relationship between the baseball captain and the soccer manager allows him to broker this compromise. President Kenzaki’s plan to lure Masachika into the student council succeeds, and Masachika officially agrees to join. He apologizes to Alya for taking over, but she is grateful for his help.

Later that evening, as Masachika walks Alya home, she asks if he’s joining the student council to support Suou as president. Masachika says he’ll support Alya instead. Alya firmly replies that she still intends to run and win. Masachika surprises her by promising to do everything he can to make her president.

Touched, Alya says in Russian, "I love you," which Masachika understands. He recalls a Russian girl from his past, but Alya snaps him back to reality. She slaps him for thinking of another girl but immediately cheers him up. In the end, she kisses him on the cheek.
