Part 2
While everyone in the surroundings was buzzing at the student council president’s surprising statement, another two people came to this class.
One is Kaori, and the other is a female student whom I have seen greeting at an event. So, this person must also be a student council member…
Then, the girl and Kaori came straight to the student council president.
“Senpai! I thought I couldn’t find you… but what are you doing without telling us?”
“No, I think momentum is important in everything!”
“Please put yourself in the shoes of those who have to deal with it!”
The student council president didn’t seem to respond at all but simply laughed cheerfully. W-what amazing mental fortitude…
The student council president then stopped the female student with his hand.
“Well, calm down! I’m just trying to persuade Tenjou-kun.”
“E-even if you put it that way… Yuuya-san, you’re having trouble because he’s talking too much all of a sudden, aren’t you?”
“I guess so…”
Thanks to Kaori’s words, I managed to nod my head, albeit a little hesitantly.
“I don’t even know what made you decide to start that school idol project, but what I’m most curious about is why you consulted me about it…”
“That reminds me, I didn’t tell you about that, did I?”
“Senpai! You should explain it to him if you want to get him involved!”
“That’s fine; I’m going to tell you now! Well, regarding the school idol project, the purpose is to promote this academy. The other day, the school festival showdown with Nittei Academy made me think of something.”
It seems that the school had a lot to think about after witnessing the publicity power of Nittei Academy during the school festival showdown.contemporary romance
This is because Ousei Academy only conducted its publicity as it had in previous years, while Nittei Academy, on the contrary, advertised through all kinds of media, including TV and the Internet.
“I think the current Ousei Academy is attractive enough, but I think we can create a different atmosphere by introducing a new approach here and there. As part of that, I decided to start the school idol project.”
“H-huh…”
“And that’s why I chose you to be in charge of the project, because… frankly speaking, you make a good impression on the teachers!”
“You’re so frank!”
I was surprised to hear him say that so openly.
“B-but I don’t think I have a good reputation among the teachers…”
“That’s not true, you know. Hey, Sawada-sensei.”
“…I didn’t want to say it in front of Kitaraku, but it’s right! It’s because you are active in all the ball games, the athletic festival, and the school festival, and on top of that, you don’t go out of control like this Kitaraku. In that sense, the teachers think very highly of you.”
“So that’s how it is. As you can hear, I’ve gone a little overboard, and the teachers are watching me closely! I thought it would be a good idea to appoint you, who has a good reputation among the teachers, to be in charge of this project!”
“You’re really frank, aren’t you?”
As was the case earlier, the student council president seems to say what he thinks too much…
But I guess that’s also his charm.
“Now, I’ve explained all this to you! Tenjou-kun, would you be willing to take on this project?”
“I’m…”
I was about to decline the offer since I still didn’t know what exactly I was going to do, and more importantly, I didn’t know if I could be of any use to them.
“Hey, Luna! You have the nerve to keep me waiting!”
“Bored. I couldn’t wait any longer.”
“Ah… I forgot about Lexia and Yuti…”
Lexia-san and Yuti couldn’t wait any longer and even came to this class in the high school.
Although Lexia-san came to this world as an exchange student, she is still royalty, and no matter how safe the environment in Japan is, there is no guarantee that something dangerous will not happen to her.
That said, there have been incidents related to demons recently.
So, although we were in different grades, we would meet up and go home together every time. Since we were going home from the same place and, more importantly, we were not involved in any club activities, it was easy for us to meet up.
Lexia-san and Yuri were already at the meeting place as usual, but when we didn’t show up no matter how long they waited, they came to pick us up.
Then, seeing Lexia-san and Yuti, the student council president’s eyes lit up.
“You!”
“Eh? M-me?”
“Yes, it’s you! That overflowing aura… why don’t you become a school idol of our school?”
“Senpai?”
The student council president, as soon as he saw Lexia-san, started scouting for her to become a school idol!
The female student council members rushed to stop him, but the student council president wouldn’t stop.
“You have talent as a school idol! I really want you to show off that talent!”
“I- it’s too sudden; I don’t know what’s happening…”
The student council president began his presentation as if he had been waiting for Lexia-san, who was puzzled.
At first, Lexia-san seemed to be in doubt, but her expression changed as she gradually listened to what he had to say.
Then──.
“I don’t really understand it yet, but it sounds interesting! And besides, Yuuya-sama is going to take care of me, right? I’ll definitely do it!”
“Eehh! I’m not really….”
“Won’t Yuuya-sama help me with this…?”
“Ugh…”
Lexia-san looked at me with a sad expression on her face.
When I couldn’t speak at the sight of her, Lexia-san continued.
“I wanted to experience a lot of things in this school… I see. I can’t cause any trouble for Yuuya-sama… Don’t worry; I just have to put up with it. So don’t worry about it, Yuuya-sama──”
“I-I understand! I’ll help you! I’ll help you!”
“Yay!”
As soon as I unintentionally agreed, Lexia-san’s sad expression changed, and she smiled happily.
I was a little confused, but the fact was that Lexia-san would like to experience many things in this world, and it’s not good to make her sit on the sideline.
Then it’s just a matter of me doing my best.
I don’t even know what I’m going to do… so I don’t even know if I can do it.
Then Lexia-san looked at Luna.
“Of course, you’re going to do it too, aren’t you, Luna?”
“Eh, me too?”
“Hmm… sure, you have an aura as good as hers… you’re hired too!”
“Eeehhh!? I-I haven’t said I’ll do it yet!”
When Luna mentioned this, Lexia-san smiled somewhat meaningfully.
“Ara, really? If Luna doesn’t want to do it, I won’t force you to do it, you know? But in return, I’ll ask Yuuya-sama to take care of me.”
“Wha?”
“!”
Luna’s eyes widened at Lexia-san’s words, but at the same time, she felt a reaction from some of the people around her who were watching what was happening.
“Luna didn’t want to do it… sorry.”
“Mm… I see… It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped. Then──”
“…do it! I’ll do it too!”
“Eehh! Luna!”
I was surprised because I didn’t expect Luna to join too, and she muttered something with a determined look on her face.
“I can’t fall behind Lexia here…”
“Fufu. That’s my Luna! So, what about you, Yuti?”
When it was decided that Luna was going to participate, Lexia-san smiled happily and approached Yuti, who had seemed unconcerned until now.
“Question. What good will it do to be an idol?”
“You will be taken care of by Yuuya-sama!”
“!?”
“No, I don’t think that’s a good thing…”
“…Agreed. Then I’ll do it.”
“You’ll do it? I mean, as for Yuti, I feel like I’m always taking care of her…”
I was surprised that even Yuti would be willing to participate.
I thought Yuti wasn’t interested in this kind of thing…
“Hohohoho! Well, it was a bit haphazard, but we’ve already got three participants! Hahahaha!”
“What’s really going on here…?”
At the student council president’s words, the female student council member let out a tired sigh.
Despite her, the student council president looked around the class.
“For now, I think three is fine… but it’s worth the effort. Is anyone in this class interested in becoming a school idol? We will probably put out a call for applications to the entire school later, but we’d appreciate it if you could come forward here!”
The whole class was abuzz at the student council president’s call for applications.
“H-how about you…?”
“It sounds kind of fun, but… I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable lining up with those three.”
“What about the boys?”
“I’m curious, but then there’s Yuuya, the absolute idol…”
As I expected, it was too sudden, and although everyone discussed it, no one in particular seemed to come forward.
The student council president, who took notice of the situation, nodded his head once.
“Fumu… Well, it was very sudden, after all. For the time being, it’s just these three──”
“U-um!”
“Hmm?”
It was the moment when the student council president was about to close the recruitment process.
To my surprise, Kaede raised her hand, looking a little embarrassed.
“T-that school idol thing? Can I participate, too?”
Then, following Kaede’s lead, Merl raised her hand as well.
“I have little basis for judgment and was going to wait and see what would happen… This would be a great experience, and I would like to be a part of it!”
“Oh, two more participants! That’s great! I hope you will contribute to our school as a school idol!”
Since there were no additional applicants other than Kaede and Merl, it was decided that Lexia-san, Luna, Yuti, Kaede, and Merl would become the school idols.
From the student council president suddenly coming to me to this point, I was surprised that the story had already taken shape so far, despite the fact that I was told about it out of the blue, Sawada-sensei, who had remained silent up until now, let out a sigh.
“Hah… I didn’t stop you because I thought it would be a futile attempt, but it’s still going as smoothly as ever… How can this guy’s ideas go so smoothly…?”
“Don’t just say it’s useless to try; I was hoping you’d stop him…”
“Nekota, that’s impossible. This guy won’t stop at anything. Or rather, he never listens to people in the first place…”
“…How can he be the student council president if he’s like that?”
“I guess it’s another one of those qualities that make him a leader.”
The female student council members who came with Kaori also let out a tired sigh along with Sawada-sensei. W-what can I say…? Good luck.
Nevertheless, I’ve also been determined to be in charge of the school idol project without knowing the reason why.
What am I going to do now…?
While I had such anxieties, Kaori approached me.
“Yuuya-san. Um… I’m sorry. You got caught up in our circumstances…”
“N-no, that’s fine, but… it looks like Kaori is having a hard time too.”
“W-well… but it’s more fun than just trouble.”
Kaori was smiling bitterly, but she probably meant what she said.
The fact is, the conversation was carried out quite forcefully, but I guess this student council president Kitaraku has the ability to make everyone around him smile.
“But I wonder if I’m up to the task. I don’t even know what I’m going to do yet…”
“Don’t worry! I’m sure Yuuya-san will do well!”
“R-really?”
“Yes! …If only I didn’t have to work for the student council, I would be joining Lexia-san and the others…”
“Eh?”
“Ah, i-it’s nothing!”
As we had this exchange, the student council president was thinking about something with a serious expression on his face.
“Since we have gathered so many attractive people, we have to put more effort into other parts of the school so as not to waste the charm of these girls… First of all, the music is… right! Let’s ask that popular artist Kanade Utamori-san! We’ve already made a connection at the school festival! We also have to think about costumes and… hahaha, you have a lot to think about, Nekota-kun!”
“And please put yourself in the shoes of those of us who get caught up in it every time…”
“Isn’t that great! It’s more fun than that…! Alright, let’s get moving right now! So, Tenjou-kun! We’ll talk more about it soon! See you later!”
“Ah!”
The student council president said all he had to say and left.
W-what can I say….? He really came and went like a storm…
I had never met the student council president before, but I just kept being overwhelmed by him.
