“Good morning, everybody, and welcome to work!”
It was the first student council meeting after the summer break. The president of the student council, with a loud announcement, placed a pile of papers on her desk. I can guess what she means by “work after the summer break.”
“After enjoying the summer vacation, we have to start preparing for our school’s upcoming cultural festival, the Minazuki Festival. This event is a matter of honor for the student council. We must make sure it is a success!”
The Minazuki Festival is the school festival of our school. This event, held after the summer vacation, is a great success every year. The success of this event, which is so big that it is even filmed and covered by reporters from outside the school, leads to the trust of the student council. That is why President Uryu is so enthusiastic about this event.
“It’s like the season has arrived!~”
“We don’t want another one like last year. ……”
“…… Um, is the Festival such a great event?”
“Ah, you don’t know Miyabi. The Minazuki Festival is the biggest event here. Many people come from outside the school. Last year, there were so many people that the student council was apparently in a state of slight panic.”
“That’s right, you’ve got to get into it,……, don’t you!”
“That’s right, Tsukishiro-kun. There’s no time to rest. You’ve had plenty of rest during the summer holidays, so you need to work hard to make up for it….Starting today, ideas for performances will be coming in from each class and club. I’ll leave management to Banno and Ryo. The rest of us will be checking the facilities and planning the performances from the student council and other activities.”
“The preparation of the facilities, ……,a problem because there are so many things that are used every year.”
“Tsukasa, I’m going to ask you to check the facilities alone this time. You’ve got a criminal record, so you’ll be working alone.”
“Why? ……”
“You deserved it. …… chairman, where do you want to start today?”
“Well, thank you for asking, Guren. First, I’d like you to understand the current situation for the day.”
As she said this, the chairman took something out of her chest pocket. It looked like an earphone, and I somehow guessed what it was.
“What is it?”
“It’s an earphone, ……?”
“This is a simple intercom. Well, it’s like a communicator. If you put it on, you can talk to each other within the school. Last year’s chaos was terrible. With this, we should be able to deal with some problems.”
“I see. Now we can communicate …….”
“With so many people, a human error or two is bound to occur. We have to be very careful and get on with it. On the day of the event, we will use this to keep in touch with each other while making rounds at each location to make sure the event is proceeding as planned. I will check again when it gets closer to the event, but this is the basic plan. Any objections?”
I looked at everyone’s faces and they all seemed to agree.
“I see no objections….. Then we’re done for today. There is nothing else to do today. You can get ready for your classes.”
“Wait a minute. Don’t you have …… to clean up these papers?”
“Oh, this? This is a document I’ve been hoarding. It has nothing to do with the Minazuki Festival. Therefore, I and Reito will take care of it.”
“Why do I have to …… ?”
“Then, let’s disband!”
The gathering broke up at this point. With a sigh, I sat down on the couch and got caught up in the paperwork.
“Senpai, I’m leaving, okay”
“Ou. See you later.”
“…then,. Let’s get started.”
The chairman began to organize the documents. She looked over each document one by one, tapping her signature and seal on each one. I sorted the documents into those to be kept, those to be returned, and those to be submitted to the staff room.
“This is for submission. This is for safekeeping.”
“Okay, okay, …….”
“…… By the way, Reito, did something happen with Tsukishiro-kun?”
The chairman’s sudden question made my shoulders jump involuntarily. The chairman looked at me and chuckled.
“I knew it.”
“……, why do you say that?”
“It’s obvious when I look at the relationship between you and Tsukishiro-kun. Before, your relationship just seemed like an exchange between two people of the opposite sex, but now I can see a trust between you. … You must have become a little more comfortable now, don’t you?”
“……Well, we talked a little bit about the past.”
“I see. She swallowed it because she was eavesdropping.”
“…… Eh? Eavesdropping?”
The chairman looked at me with questioning eyes.
“……? You didn’t know? That night we talked at the villa, Tsukishiro-kun was eavesdropping.”
“Seriously? So that’s why she picked it up so quickly.”
“I thought for sure you’d notice. You’re surprisingly slow.”
“I’m not a psychic. There’s no way I could notice something like that.”
“That’s surprising. I thought you had a lot of wild instincts.”
The chairman laughed amusedly.
“…… are you going to choose Tsukishiro-kun?”
“Yes?”
“You are being loved by several people. Inevitably, there will come a time when you have to choose one. Who will you choose?”
I felt as if cold water had been poured over my brain. It was obvious to me that I would have to choose one person. But I had forgotten about it.
Lately, I’ve been so focused on what’s right in front of me that I often miss the obvious. I need to rethink myself once again.
“Whatever conclusion you come to, I won’t deny it. But whatever you come to, there will be sacrifices. Peace is based on sacrifice. It will be interesting to see how you handle that sacrifice.”
“You’re amused…,?”
“It’s interesting. You always come up with the most bizarre endings. I’m thrilled to see how it all turns out. I’m looking forward to it this time too. …… Oh, you can choose me, you know?”
“I don’t think so.”
“A quick answer,……you can give it some more consideration, right?”
“A pervert is a bit…”
“Hey, I’m pretty popular too!”
“I don’t know. ……”
After that, the chairman continued to boast about her popularity for the next hour.
