Our class decided to make a made-to-measure cup of coffee. Work has already begun in earnest, with Amelia-led former and classmates working together.

In the meantime, now that it's after school.

I was headed to the student council room to submit a proposal for a class offering.

The Student Council Room is on the west side of the third floor of the school building. Never been there before, but I know the general position.

"Autumn is almost here..."

Mid September.

Though the heat characteristic of the remaining heat is still there, the sun seems to be setting faster. Not yet at full dusk, but the sun is slowly setting.

And it was the Student Council Office that came alone with the proposal.

Indeed, the student chairman is Senior Rebecca and the vice chairman is Senior Deena.

I don't know about the accountant and the clerk, but just because I know these two people, I never felt like a hundred million robbers coming to the student council room.

In the first place, you said I'd submit against Amelia, who seemed busy.

Concon, and knocked about three times to hear a beautiful clear voice from the indoors. It belongs to Senior Rebecca.

"You can come in."

"Excuse me."

After opening the door, he enters the room after giving a polite thank you on the spot.

The interior is a simple one, no ordinary classroom and no change. If there is, it is in that there is a large amount of note paper on the whiteboard and plans for the cultural festival to proceed.

When I look at it with a chill, Senior Rebecca is smiling at me with a nickel at the desk at the back. Besides, Senior Deena at the desk next to him also speaks to me.

"It's not Ray. Long time no see."

"Senior Deena. We're out of time."

"Did you bring a class proposal today?

"Yes, this way."

When I hand it over with both hands, Senior Deena takes it and glances at it lightly.

"Huh? Made coffee?

"Yes, my class is a made-to-measure coffee contest."

"... I haven't had a problem with the content as far as I can tell, but my classmate approved it a lot. Sure, class A seemed like a lot of nobility, though?

"He managed to acknowledge that there. Besides, not everyone dresses like a maid."

"Hmm. Well, there's Ray... I'm sure it's because of that"

"? What did you mean by that?

"Nothing. Well, I got your proposal, so you can go back."

"Okay. Excuse me. Senior Rebecca, myself, with this."

"Yep. Well, I'll see you again, Mr. Ray."

Say your voice is tired, or I thought something was wrong. I'll keep an eye on that face.

And I noticed when I stared into Senior Rebecca's eyes.

I hide it with makeup, but Senior Rebecca does have the neighborhood Kuma left. That was the same for Senior Deena. Perhaps you're hiding it by trying to overlap the foundation, but you were definitely concerned to keep the two of them from putting fatigue to the face, if you noticed.

"The question is, who are the other student council officers?

"... I wish I was honest back. Really, Ray, you can say" meow "or something."

Ha, and a clear sigh of sigh, Senior Deena.

Is there still something about this?

"Dear Rebecca. Ray, I think we can talk about it."

"Right. Well, once I answer your question... the other three officers probably won't be here"

"Why?

"... my engagement must be the cause"

"What is that...?

"Originally, the three of you belonged to a certain aristocratic faction. One of them was originally going to be engaged to the one I got engaged to this time... I heard that later too. In summary, you don't like me so you can't help me...... right? So now Deena and I have managed to run a student council."

"Was it..."

Inside the aristocracy that comes to light here.

That's never just the adult world. Our class is relatively peaceful. There was a lot going on at the beginning of school, but now my classmates are treating me like an Ordinary.

But that's only about our class. Nobility is never a single rock either. So the Rebecca seniors are also involved in factional feuds of that nobility...

That's why I couldn't. The two of us are turning the student council now.

Seniors Rebecca and Deena's desks are lined with documents stacked like mountains in letters on the whiteboard that say they are in progress. Probably checking the proposal, it's not just the class, there are some department activities plus other meetings, etc.

It's not a sanity shack, such as the two of us handling all of that.

If you find out, there's one thing I need to do. I wasn't lost.

"Okay. Student union work at this cultural festival, let me help myself too"

"Ha... that's what I thought Ray would say when he found out. That's why I urged you to come back soon..."

"Mr. Ray. But that... you'll have class activities, too."

"I can serve concurrently. I'm going to help the publicist and the waiter this time, because I'm just the cook. Besides, I carefully manage my schedule with Amelia. Even if we are here to help you with your work at the Student Council, you can do both without underperforming."

This is by no means the kind of vanity.

That's also because of the experience of actually doing administrative work from an early age.

That is a sad background to say that I was doing everything because my master really can't do that.

When I was a soldier, there were many paperwork procedures and so on, and I needed to deal with them quite a bit. That's what I was doing, including for my master.

"Ray ~. I got some paperwork ~"

"Ray! Here we go again! This is their conspiracy! I can't be clerical!

"Ha... dull. Ray, say hello!

"Not again. Here, Ray."

In retrospect, there may have been some reluctance in the beginning, but eventually he didn't hesitate to throw it at me.

To be honest, I think the master is normally a bad person if he hasn't grown up as a magician. No, that's still critical now......

And I have a track record in the past, and I'm sure I can help both of you. I've been taking care of a lot of things in the horticulture department from day to day. In return, I want to help again.

"But I have a problem with Mr. Ray... because this is my situation. Deanna is also bothering you..."

"Master Rebecca! I won't tell you that. It's a promise! Because I swear to my heart that I will help Master Rebecca, no matter what the circumstances!

"Mr. Deena......"

"Senior Rebecca. Same for myself. Ever since school, I've always looked after you both. He asked himself, a man who seemed distant, to allow him to work in the horticultural department, and to teach him about various plants. Let me repay that favour to myself here. You don't have to be so concerned about yourself being a junior. I just want to help both of you."

"Mr. Ray......"

"Ray......"

If you look closely, their eyes were moist.

Must have had a lot of hard work. I guess I've been diligently doing an amount of work that physically can't be finished by the two of us until late at night.

That's why I definitely want to help both of them.

"Already... you're a really, really good one. Master Rebecca. Let's rely on it. I'm sure with Ray, we'll be able to turn it around somehow. I'm gonna need you here."

Senior Deena bowed her head, so I bowed my head to Senior Rebecca again.

"Senior Rebecca. Please, please. Let me help myself, too."

"... Mr. Deena. Mr. Ray."

I felt the voice trembling somewhere.

I actually had another idea when I said I wanted to help like this. That is, after all, what happened before.

That day, at the end of the summer vacation... I want to find out the truth about that look.

I believe Senior Rebecca has something to hide.

Something that came with being engaged, or a completely different circumstance.

Whether we should step in or not, maybe that's an extra favor.

But I don't want to regret it anymore.

Where will we use the lessons we have learned from what we lost in that Far East battle without taking advantage of it here? And I'm sure my lost people are looking at me again.

So I'm not just gonna regret it. I'm gonna make a choice.

"Both of you, raise your faces. Ok. Mr. Ray, please, thank you until the day the cultural festival ends safely."

"Ha!"

Reflected by the light of dusk, the look on Senior Rebecca's face was not well seen in that backlight.

But the seniors are smiling somewhere happy. I felt that way.
