Aahh, it looks like my class-changing luck has finally run dryâŠ
For my final year of middle school, I finally ended up with His Majesty the Emperor.
*ćŠč*
*ćŠč*
Serika-chan was in the same class as well, and was jumping for joy about it.
âWeâve finally done it, Reika-sama! Weâve really had such bad luck so far!â
Iâve really had such good luck so far.
âThis year is looking so bright! Donât you think so, Reika-sama?â
Thinking about it, nothing has gone wrong since that bad fortune. Should I go get purified?
I wonder if theres a famous place for exorcisms.
As I was dragged along to class by the jubilant Serika-chan, along the way we ran into Enjou, who was surrounded by girls.
âKisshouin-san. Thank goodness. Thereâs been something I wanted to talk to you about. This is a great chance.â
âEh-â
The girls around us all began screaming because of his words.
âWhat are they going to talk about!?â
âIt canât be, a confession!?â
âA love triangle!?â
Stop it! Stop with your strange guesses! How could this black-hearted schemer do something as cute as confessing!
âItâs a bit hard to talk here, so could you come with me?â
His smile placed a huge pressure on me. I canât fight back with my cowardâs heartt!
My senses are tingling and Iâm getting a horrible feeling about thiss! I donât wanna goo!
But although I screamed that in my heart, I accepted his request with a face filled with composure.
Serika-chan watched with glittering eyes as I was sent to the gallows.
In the end, I was taken to the base of a staircase.
Suspicious. Super suspicious. What part of this smile plastered onto his face is supposed to be trustworthy.
âYou see, I actually have a favour to ask of you.â
âA favour?â
âYeah. You ended up in Masayaâs class, right? Could you become a class rep, please?â
âHAAH?â
Class Rep? Why me! Or rather, just, why!
âYou should know already that the girls in Masayaâs class are noisy each year. Since this is the last year of middle school, and a year with a school trip too, I think itâs going to be especially bad. A normal girl wonât be able to handle it. Thatâs why I thought of you.â
âEh- âŠBut why do you care?â
Worrying about another class? This guy definitely isnât doing this because heâs filled with love for the school or anything.
If he was a person like that then shouldnât he have taken the initiative to become class rep last year?
âMmmm⊠The truth is that somebody asked me as a favour. The guy whoâs going to be your class rep. Since he didnât think heâd be able to manage on his own, he was thinking of getting you to act as vice. Apparently your homeroom teacher plans to ask you the same. But you refused last year, didnât you? Thatâs why he wanted me to persuade you.â
No way! No way no way!
Just remembering the weary face of last yearâs class rep is enough to write the option off forever!
How are you going to take responsibility if I get burdened by stress, go crazy, and start writing poems too!
Iâve already got a previous offence from my last life!
After watching a certain movie I was influenced so badly that I started reading Rimbaud and Verlaine, and I still remember how I wrote crap about sighs and eternity!
As I recall, I came back to my senses the next day and should have disposed of it, but did IÂ actually? I wouldnât have just gotten lazy and hidden the notepad in a draw or something, right?
GYAAAAAAAAAHHH! If my family found it and read it, I wouldnât be able to rest in peacee!
âKisshouin-san? Are you okay?â
âEh-, ah, yes. I am fine.â
The past is the past. Forget about it. Itâs okay. You definitely threw it away.
UWAAAAHH! But I wrote poems in other peopleâs signature books! Scary! Actions that leave evidence are scary!
âKisshouin-san?â
âI am fine.â
Forget it, Reika! Thereâs nobody who doesnât have a little bit of dark history, okay!
Poems are something that everyone experiences once.
âWell then, become class rep, was it? I must apologise, but I do not believe I have the ability, so could you possibly ask somebody else?â
I donât want to get involved with anything troublesome.
âI see. I guess it canât be helped.â
Enjou showed me a dark smile.
âSay, Kisshouin-san⊠Donât you still owe me a favour?â
Hah? Favour? Uh, favour⊠Favour�
Ah-!
âWhen RirinaâŠâ
âYup. Remember it now? I think itâs time to pay your dues.â
Youâre bringing up something from over a year ago!?
I thought that expired long ago!
My old mum was right. You definitely canât get involved with debts. Itâll come back to get you with ridiculous interest!
*ćŠč*
*ćŠč*
My new homeroom teacher called me out right after.
Next to him was some boy with a buzzcut like a monk. Is this the culprit?
What on earth have you done, Monk Boy!
âOh geez, Iâm really glad that you agreed, Kisshouin-san. If youâre doing it anyway, how about being the lead rep?â
âNo, vice please.â
Iâm not good at refusing people, but Iâm outright refusing this.
âUm, Iâm Bouda(ćç°). Iâll be in your care.â
Eh-, the Monkâs(ćäž»;Bouzu) surname is Monk Field(ćç°; Bouda)?
Thatâs way too fitting.
âYes, likewise. Please take care of me.â
Iâm super unwilling about this, but since Iâve already agreed, it canât be helped. Letâs get along this year, Monk-kun.
*ćŠč*
*ćŠč*
âBou- âŠda-kun, are you close with Enjou-sama? To think you would be able to ask him to persuade me.â
On the way back to the classroom, I voiced the question I had been wondering the whole time.
I canât really picture these two being close.
âClose? Heavens, no. Last year we were in the same class, and he helped me with a lot of things. Heâs a really amazing person!â
So Monk-kun is in the Enjou Faction. Looks like he looks up to him.
Enjou just looks like a huge villain to me, though.
âSensei wanted me to be class rep again, but since thereâs the famous Kaburagi-kun in our class, I thought it was impossible for me. At that time, Enjou-kun had just arrived in the staff room by coincidence, and suggested that you act as the vice rep. If you controlled the girls, then everything would be fine, he said. He even said that he would ask you himself. Enjou-kun is just such a kind guy. Heâs just so considerate of others, isnât he.â
Enjou was the one who suggested this!? What the. Thatâs completely different to what he told me!
That damned schemer! What the heck are you planning!
With no idea what I was thinking, Monk-kun continued praising him to the skies.
Apparently this kid has no eyes for people.
*ćŠč*
*ćŠč*
When I returned to the classroom, it was an even bigger fuss than last yearâs Enjou thing.
A huge group of girls were causing a racket.
Uwahh⊠Am I really going to be this classâ vice rep for a whole year?
And everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten, but Iâm technically a Pivoine, okay.
Ah-! And Serika-chan was right in the middle of it all. She was in the very best spot!
âItâs your turn, Kisshouin-san.â
Itâs impossible for me, Monk-kunâŠ
My stomach should have been healed, but it started feeling weird again.
Having spotted me, the girls all rushed over with excited expressions.
âReika-sama, what was that talk with Enjou-sama about? Could it have been a confession? Kyaaa! How dreamy!â
My stomach started hurting again.
What were the foods good for the stomach again�
