In front of the turned back classroom, three groups of students emerge.
I was just finishing the discussion in time.
Find Shizuku and Yudo among their classmates.
We exchange goodbye greetings for our classmates and we go down the hallway with some word exchange between us.
I was standing there before they turned their gaze forward.
Keep out of the way of the narrow hallway, proceed between the walls to the two of you.
"Well, you were still there, too."
Shizukuishi threw the natural question.
Yudo next door also had an unexpected look on his face.
"Hey... Yudo, do you have a minute?
"I don't have any plans, but it's a rare story."
Yudo continues later with a smile on his mouth.
It's hard to talk about on this occasion.
Today the election campaign is taking place in front of the school gate.
Then the courtyard should be able to talk quietly because there will be few shadows, so we move on.
Yudo never listens to the story, he just shuts up and obeys later.
Shizuku also showed only a moment of stray, but decided to be present in the story to follow further backwards.
Shizuku doesn't have anything to do with it, so it won't have to be stopped.
Down the stairs, proceed through the cobblestone outer passage connecting the building from the building.
I've been concerned since the beginning of school that this high school only has one side of a tennis court built between one and two buildings.
Primarily used by boys students with small numbers of members, they passed next to that coat and arrived in the courtyard.
As expected, the majority of students who spend their after-school time on campus without the appearance of a student go for a peek at student council elections.
At the time of the election, the benches in the courtyard had been temporarily removed, so they sat back in the form of a three-person wheel in place.
Shizuku glances at me and Yudo and looks at things like what's going to start.
"Yudo... are you running for student council officer?
There is no need for foreclosure.
I threw it straight without covering my doubts.
Yudo immediately returns to his usual smile with an unexpected look on his face for a moment.
"You heard from Mr. Shiraishi, you didn't tell him so much detail, but you knew exactly what he was doing."
"Your run was just the most likely one... not that I had a basis"
In fact, if Yudo had denied it here, the story would have ended here.
My mistake, I was just asking questions to really get a third party to run for office.
But affirming it would have put the situation on the worst route I ever imagined.
Put your hand on one jaw and drop your gaze on the courtyard lawn with your imaginary face.
The problem is the reason.
For whatever reason he just joins the student council, that should be his biggest argument.
"But didn't Ogiwara say you weren't going to the student council before?
Shizuku, who had not kept up with the situation of the story, inquired in a bewildered manner.
From her point of view, we must be in a situation where the story is turning around and we don't know what it is.
Assuming I'm in Shizukuishi's shoes, there will be numerous questioning houses floating over my head like comics.
"Sure, I wasn't going to be at the student council, but it was best for us to change our minds and join the student council."
"We...?
"Yes, it's about us, including the three of us here and Mr. Kirasaka."
pointing to each and every one of them, Yudo said.
The meaning of the word could not be understood without explanation.
The same goes for Shizukuishi, who shouldn't think she'll get into the student council either.
Seeing us both like that, Yudo speaks in a quiet, gentle voice.
"If you get into a student council, you'll be free from the annoyance of that class"
It's a voice that even makes you feel sad.
To the words, Shizukuishi and I just asked to keep our mouths shut.
"I don't think everything you're saying is right, but we're in the middle of something, so we're in trouble."
"... you mean the sports festival is that?
"Right, but this is just the first problem, we have a cultural festival ahead of us and a school trip. It's obvious that every time we have a similar problem, we're in a situation like this."
Shizuku also distressed the meaning of Yudo's words, shifting his gaze and changing his expression darkly.
Even if we were able to avoid the status quo in a way that was satisfactory to all, the next one would soon come.
As Yudo said, given our school lives, we thought it was a natural flow to build a convenient foundation for ourselves right now.
"So it's a student council."
"Oh, for better or worse, this school is given an important role in the student council. If that's the reason, it's easier to avoid the hassle in your class."
Yudo told Shizukuishi with his gaze on him.
Sounds like you're suggesting it to her, too.
If you do get into a student council, it is the student council that directs and runs the bulk of the event.
Involve the majority of work at events from MC progression.
From the two of us who have a hard time turning down requests from around us, we can avoid them most effectively and easily for ourselves.
The election of officers is held on a different date than the election of the chairman.
So there is no direct impact on the dispute between Shiraishi and Koizumi.
However, the situation changes depending on which Yudo supports and ran for the Student Council.
Tomorrow is the last day of the election period, during the time of the home room, all school students will be gathered in the gymnasium to give a speech in front of all school students.
At that time, there is a place for a different person from the candidate named Backup Speech to speak as a delegate, but assuming that there are as many people out there as Yudo, the situation will easily change.
Until now, students who intend to vote in Koizumi also have a great chance of flowing to the white stone side.
That's why you could be a candidate for student council board at the worst possible time.
Did you feel the thought so far, Yudo turns away his smile and into a serious glance?
"Both Koizumi and Shiraishi should be excellent student chairmen, so I hate to put my shoulders on either side, but realistically, Shiraishi's ideal student council diagram may be close to my ideal"
……
It was a decisive word.
That's all I want to avoid, don't put your shoulders in at all costs. Don't ask Yudo to move until you two can compete with each other just because of their strengths, which is what I should do.
But there is no standing to stop it.
I just got Yudo by the end of the day and came here driven by the urge to talk.
"Of course, the timing is perfect because I'm not going to run for office quietly and I was just about to call you when I got home today"
With a smile on his face and a bright look as usual, Yudo makes his attitude easier as if even the thread of tension had been broken.
I guess he was going to show his own behavior.
If the will of the person is solidified with regard to the candidature, it must be respected.
If so, there is one action that can be taken.
"I want the election of the chairman to be fought by just the two of us..."
I know what kind of card I can cut.
That's why I have to ask.
Vote for me which way, I won't ask for anything.
It is only natural that you should be included on the side that you support.
But if you're going to be in the bright light and act, I want you to wait two more days until the vote is over.
Then we should both accept the results and move on to the next stage.
I explained that to Yudo.
What was unexpected was his reaction.
"I don't mind, because I'm going to look into the election, and I'm going to boil down the motives and stuff."
Not to mention, Yudo easily accepted me.
It was really unexpected and I expected that one of the causes of yesterday would be denied in some way.
It's okay because we're friends, what a convenient way to think about it, it was an unexpected event.
"Oh... so you have nothing to worry about from me"
He said, "You're not gonna let me lay you two in the election in the first place! … as suspicious as ever."
"I'm really sorry about that."
Somehow, the conversation spreads the way it's always been, as if we're back in the relationship a while ago.
Shizuku was also holding his breath as if he had been relieved of something, but when he could turn his gaze to Yudo again, he corrected his spine.
"So now it's an invitation from me, Kanzaki, why don't you run for the student council too?
Naturally, Kirasaka-san also... added that Yudo said.
Shizuku answers his gaze here only once as he thinks.
"It's too steep to answer a boulder on this occasion... there's time until it's due, so can I think about it for a moment?
"Of course, I'm going to invite Mr. Kirasaka, and I'm going to ask Senior Shu for information about the election, and then ask him again."
Something like rest for a while.
From a strained air to a calm one.
There was also a natural grin from Shizuku's expression, and I thought this was going to bring the story together well.
"But if you and everyone are together, the student council might enjoy it."
That's what Shizuku says.
If we're going with the flow as it is, whitestone or Koizumi shouldn't be releasing anyone from office, either as chairman.
The vice chairman is better off losing, and Yudo and others run for other positions.
Unfortunately, I have to wonder if the student council will be able to come close to the ideal diagram that the first white stone was saying.
Dreams and ideals don't just hold in your chest, it doesn't make sense if you don't put them into words, what a feeling someone was saying, but maybe you can't deny them in general.
Once the chairman is elected, Shiraishi will likely be able to talk with pleasure, if that's what you think, Yudo told him in strong terms.
"No, I don't need it for the student council."
"Huh?"
A truly dry, slippery voice came out of Shizuku's mouth.
From the same smile and open eyes, I don't even make jokes and other fine dust feel.
Yudo tells him again so that he can double check.
"I don't need a meeting at the next student council."
My gaze meets Yudo's gaze as he moves from Shizukuishi.
A gaze that has never been directed before.
Right, that's your call?
I guess he made a new decision for himself too, like I threw away my steps with the class and around him.
Proposal to join the Student Council so that excessive aspirations from classmates can be avoided.
And the solicitation of Shizukuishi and Kirasaka, the same situation.
I had myself convinced.
This sight should have been visited in the near future.
It's just that it was faster than I thought.
"... ok, then I asked for your regards on the election of the chairman"
"Cha-jun..."
"I'm fine, because I felt that way, too."
Raise your hips without asking extra questions.
For a moment, he had an uneasy look that seemed to make me cry even more when I looked at Shizukuishi's expression.
I don't know if I can reassure you, but I smile bitterly and gaze at you for a few seconds before I distance myself from the courtyard alone.
For the first time in my life, I was to experience a moment in my life when I was on a different path with a friend.
... as a result of wanting a quiet day.
You have no right to say anything to me, as I walked along like that, I heard footsteps running from behind me.
