Chapter 55: The Headmasterâs Speech Made Me Sleepy
Eh, where did this suddenly came from?
We were just talking about clubs right? Why did she suddenly bring up student council? Above all I just enrolled, Iâm a brand new first year you know? Even my uniform gives off a new impressionâŠâŠ.though that really isnât due to grade level but rather wealth.
Anyhow, the top of the students the âstudent councilâ I donât really think Iâm suitable for such a high level position. No, in the first place even if I did want to join the student council, itâs not something I can just up and join.
ăKatorea-sama, I donât really understand whatâŠâŠă
ăAhh, sorry! Thatâs rightă
ăNo, ano, what did you mean by student council?ă
ăMy friend is in the student council, but they are short on handsâŠâŠă
Currently the student council consists of the president, vice-president, two treasurers, and one secretary for a total of five people.
Although it seems small, itâs usually sufficient since an executive committee is elected from each class grade for events. However, it seems originally there should be one more secretary.
ăBut arenât student council members usually decided by an electionâŠ..?ă
ăElectionâŠâŠ? No, the top nobles are selected for the positions every year?ă
Could it be that there werenât any elections in this worldâŠâŠ!
But then again, if you think about it the positions of the king and nobles are also hereditary. So there really isnât any need for elections.
ăBut Iâm still just a first-year who just enrolled. Instead of choosing me shouldnât the upperclassmen be chosen insteadâŠâŠă
ăUp to now, all the third years have been refusing the invitation to join for the past year, although even if I say that now it cannot be helpedă
ăI seeă
If there was a person that wanted to join they would already essentially. Since there is no election itâs just based on potential candidates, and if that wasnât enough then the student council members or teachers would just head out for solicitation themselves.
The student council seems troublesome. Mariabell is from the upper aristocracy but she was never invited before in the past rounds, as expected it must be because of her bad impression and personality.
ăSo thenâŠâŠhow about it? You donât have to decide right away but could you give it a try?ă
ăIs it really alright to join the student council so halfheartedly?ă
Going from experienceâŠâŠthe student council is the representative of all students right? It would be bad to go about it like this.
Itâs difficult to refuse her since her eyes are full of expectationsâŠâŠand since Iâm originally bad at refusing to begin with.
ăEttoâŠâŠă
ăFor now please just give it a tryâŠâŠor is it really no good?ă
Is it really possible to win against a dejected beautiful face?
At the very least, I canât!
ăâŠâŠIf itâs just a try thenă
ăReally!? Thank you Maria-chan~!!ă
Where did her previous dejected expression go? A cheerful looking Katorea-sama grabbed my hands while smiling.
Her change was quite fast, though I was expecting it. Even though I knew it would turn out like this I still ended up being deceived. Katorea-sama the prince of the theater club, a normal person like me canât see through her I suppose.
One of my core mottoes âResignation is fundamentalâ.
ăSorry for taking up your time, I will pick you up after schoolă
ăKatorea-sama will do so?ă
ăYes, I will escort you since Iâm the person who asked of thisă
ăBut your clubâŠâŠă
ăThe script for today isnât finished yet so itâs self-training dayă
Then essentially it would get in the way of her self-trainingâŠâŠ.ah, but in the first place it was Cattleya-sama who invited me. Alright, I wonât mind then.
ăWell then, good luck with your classă
ăYesă
She was also beautiful when she walked away with a simple wave.
I heard a personâs growth would influence their beauty, but for this case the facial features are the most prominent.
After seeing Cattleya-sama off, when I returned to the classroom Eru was sitting in my seat as she was talking together with Primera and Sashia.
I was expecting Sashia to go somewhere else butâŠ..when I think about it his seat is right next to mine.
ăWelcome back~ă
ăWelcome backă
ăIâm backă
ăWho was it? Keito-san?ă
ăNo, it was Cattleya-samaă
Itâs strange hearing Keitoâs name from another person. Since I was older I didnât really use any honorifics, but then I remembered he was actually now older.
As Eru returned my seat to me, I sat back down and began preparing for the next class. What was next again, math?
ăCattleya-samaâŠâŠso that means Maria-chan is joining the theater club?ă
ăI was invited to join the student council not theater clubă
ăStudent councilâŠâŠ?ă
I could understand the feelings of the two who tilted their heads in confusion to what I said. After all why would an upperclassmen from the theater club be inviting me to join the student council.
Cattleya-sama is famous even among the first-years so it was perhaps difficult to grasp just how the two were related. They were even surprised when they heard that I was acquainted with Cattleya-sama.
ăIt seems that the student council is lacking in members, and Cattleya-samaâs friend is one of the membersă
ăAhh, thatâs whyâŠâŠitâs true that this year would be quite difficultă
ăEhâŠâŠ?ă
Eh, I didnât hear anything about this. Cattleya-sama also didnât say anything!?
ăPrince Runa is the student council president this year, so it seems even the other members will be troubled in various waysă
ăâŠâŠEh? ă
A sudden bomb was dropped.
Eh? Eru who did you just was the student council president?
ăPrince Runa is still only a second-yearâŠâŠă
ăRoyal family members are made vice-president in their first year, and president in their second year though?ă
Eh, is that right? Apparently it seems to be common knowledge but I didnât know of this. What kind of royal amendment is that? Itâs rather troubling so please abolish it immediately right now. If youâre advocating for equality between nobles and commoners please follow through with it! It was lovely since parents couldnât appeal for more favoritism! Making exceptions just because the person is royalty instead of nobility, what a joke!
Rather even if Cattleya-sama asked of me I refuseâŠâŠ!
ăHe even gave a greeting during the entrance ceremonyă
ăâŠâŠIs that rightă
It seems to be my own fault for not remembering.
I was distracted by Sashia after allâŠâŠand the entrance ceremony speech was so boring that I didnât pay attention.
