REIKA-SAMA 083
One day in June, Kasumi-sama pa.s.sed words to that Tomoe-senpai was calling to the Student Council room. Apparently it was so secret&h.e.l.lip;
I opened the door in trepidation to find Tomoe-senpai and Stalking Horse there.
Sorry for calling you out here, Kisshouin-san. Co sit down.
Tomoe-senpai beckoned towards one of the couches. Right next to Stalking Horse. Who glanced at for a mont before averting his eyes.
After sitting down on the sofa opposite ours, Tomoe-senpai looked at my face, and then Stalking Horses.
I actually called the two of you here because I wanted the two of you to serve in the Student Council next term.
Hah?
Eh?
Serve in the Student Council!?
In middle school the mber of the Student Council served until the end of Term 2, but in high school its only until Term 1. Right after the Sumr Break the Student Council President retires and an election is held. Once the new Student Council President and Vice President are elected they nominate the other mbers. The students they nominate are told in advance though.
And apparently I was one of them.
Arima, I know you were the Student Council President in the middle school section. Youre an obvious choice. Youll accept, of course?
Yeah, well, I dont really have a problem with it but&h.e.l.lip;
Stalking Horse looked confused as he glanced my way. Mn. I know what you an. Why the h.e.l.l is a Pivoine girl like here, right? Im basically asking the sa thing.
True, Kisshouin-san is a mber of the Pivoine, but since primary school shes served as Cla.s.s Rep a number of tis. Not only that but shes honest and hard-working. This is sothing I know very well too. Not only that, but shes one of the Pivoine mbers who get along more amicably with the Student Council. Its really a new faction, you could say. Thats why I really hope that shell accept.
Uwahh~ Im happy that Tomoe-senpai trusts so much, but defying the Pivoine like that is really too scary. Id completely ruin myself if I did.
I am terribly sorry, Tomoe-senpai. That is probably asking a little much. Iamstill a Pivoine mber in the end.
You cant be both?
I would probably be seen as a spy by both sides&h.e.l.lip;
Scaryy. Im actually in the Pivoine so I know better than anyone else just how scary it would be to anger them. At worse I might be bullied until I drop out of school. Ah, but well, its the Student Councils job to help with bullying isnt it.
Anyway, the elitist Pivoine and egalitarian Student Council are like, conceptually opposed, so theres no way I could be a mber of both. It wouldnt make sense.
Mmn, I guess you cant after all.
Tomoe-senpai stretched.
You know, I thought you might say that but since it was you I was just hoping that you might. Youd be like a bridge between us after all. But I guess the divide between the two groups is even more intense during high school, isnt it.
Yes. Its not just a divide, its like the Mariana Trench.
Then just you for Student Council then, Arima. But Kisshouin-san, youll help out in your role as Cla.s.s Rep?
Yes. Whatever I can.
Next to , Stalking Horse was looking at suspiciously. What the heck. Didnt we get along in middle school? I was Cla.s.s Rep then too. Aah, but then again I was the one who collected the handouts while it was Monk Boy who actually brought them to the Student Council Room.
Dont tell that he thought I pushed all the work onto Monk-kun!? Thats offensive! I worked my b.u.t.t off!
And I thought we were stalking horse buddies too.
Why are you looking at like that! Youre supposed to be the Vice Chief of the Forever Alone Village!
What.
Nah, nothing.
Tomoe-senpai smiled helplessly at the two of us.
Arima. Kisshouin-san is sobody you can rely on in a crisis. Dont be prejudiced just because shes a Pivoine. You need to have an open mind.
&h.e.l.lip;But then whats with that nickna of hers.
Nickna!?
I heard his mumble with my super hearing.
Mizusaki-kun. What nickna might you be referring to?
Uh&h.e.l.lip; Its nothing.
How can it be nothing! Are people calling by so weird nickna behind my back!?
Could it be thats why the boys all avoid !?
Mizusaki-kun.
I dont know anything!
You lie. When a person lies they look up and to the right. Just as you did a mont ago.
Why do you know stuff like that!
Oniisama taught . Problem?
Anyway, I said I dont know, okay! Its Makkie or sothing, okay!
Makkie? Makkie because Ive got makigami(curled hair)!?
Im not sure if I should feel offended or not. I an, at least its not Curls. Isnt it a bit cute? Makkie. Boys, you can call Makkie if you want!
Stalking Horse was covering his eyes with his hands. Is he that afraid of seeing through his lies? Bro, the mont you do that I can tell youre lying. Is there so other weird nickna?
Now, now, you two, said Tomoe-senpai as he ca between us. Youre the two kouhai I trust the most. Thats why once I graduate and leave, I hope that youll support the Student Council together.
Since he stopped us Ill leave it for now. I can always investigate later.
More importantly&h.e.l.lip; Graduating, huh&h.e.l.lip; Even though Im finally in the sa section as him again, hell be gone after just a year? Thats so lonely.
Oh? Is sothing wrong, Kisshouin-san?
No&h.e.l.lip;
Wow. Thats really so lonely.
Tomoe-senpai is really balanced so things arent too bad between the Student Council and Pivoine right now, too.
Actually, its really only him that doesnt mind the Pivoine. The next Student Council President wouldnt want in it anyway.
I wonder whats going to happen after he leaves. I dont want things to get tense.
Anyway, thats all I had to say. Arima, well hamr out so of the details for next term, so please stay behind for a bit. Kisshouin-san, thats all I had to say. Thanks for coming.
I understand. Then Tomoe-senpai, Mizusaki-kun, gokigenyou.
Take care, and stay safe.
&h.e.l.lip;You too.
After that I headed straight for the car waiting for .
Im feeling a bit down for so reason. I know! Tomorrow Ill eat so snacks! Its been a while! Maybe the Lucky Turn crackers Ive hidden in my closet.
The next day I caught hold of Satomi-kun and questioned him about my nicknas.
Your nicknas?
Yes. Yesterday Mizusaki-kun ntioned sothing to that effect. I heard about Makkie, but are there any other nicknas I should know about?
Makkie? Oh, because of your hair. Ahh, I dunno, not right now?
Right now? Then in the past I have had other nicknas? What were they?
Eh&h.e.l.lip; Ahhh, G.o.ddess&h.e.l.lip; I guess&h.e.l.lip;?
G.o.ddess?
Ahh! I really dont know much about it! But n.o.body uses it now, okay! It was just in middle school! Ill make sure it doesnt happen again, promise!
G.o.ddess&h.e.l.lip;? The first that cos to mind is Aphrodite, but thats already taken. That boy who got rather enthusiastic with his violin performance on our trip. His hair is a bit of an afro so everyone calls him Afrodite. Except thats a bit of a mouthful, so really its just Dite now.
As for other G.o.ddesses, theres like Venus or like Athena and stuff? Those are the famous ones after all. But there are so many Greek G.o.ddesses, arent there. Well whatever.
I suppose that will do, for now.
Satomi-kun let out a huge sigh of relief and ran back to his ring of friends.
&h.e.l.lip;G.o.ddess, huh. But gosh, what if its really Venus. Oh no!
