Overnight dawn from the student chairman election, Tuesday morning.
During today's lunch break, the names of candidates for boards are to be officially affixed to the bulletin board.
It's better to do what you can early.
Notable action for the elections is after publication, but it is possible to prepare in advance.
Leaving the house an hour earlier than usual, I stopped by Sakura no Hill School's Student Council Room.
There were already two students indoors.
"Good morning, sweetheart."
"Good morning, Makoto. The chairman told me about your candidacy."
Shuxi and Shoichi Koizumi, who were inside the student council room, smiled and welcomed them as they spoke of their morning greetings.
"Good morning...... Koizumi is there too, congrats on winning"
Throw in words you hadn't already said.
Koizumi, who scratches his head and dyes his cheeks red with joy and shame, cannot feel the majesty of the chairman altogether or anything.
This friendliness pushed him up to the chairman, so this would be one talent.
Put your bag in your seat and give it to the chairman when you take a piece of paperwork out of it.
That's the official written candidate form that was given to me last week.
From the moment the chairman receives this, he can't pull the rest off.
When the chairman received it after checking for any deficiencies, he exhaled quietly.
"... Recently, I have also received a formal written statement from Ohara. Now, the overlapping hopes of both sides will result in the election of officers. My precautions don't change what I'm letting you know beforehand... okay?
"It's okay......"
I'll take my hands off it, and the chairman will give the paper to Koizumi.
Koizumi also confirmed that the student council board election, and the conflict of assistant chairman, was definitely finalized today.
"I promise you I'll do everything I can, for nothing else."
"As long as it's possible for the chairman... he'll probably be more than twice as powerful as I am"
Koizumi has turned his worrying gaze to words that even sound humble, when returned with a bitter smile.
You probably heard me and Yudo are running for office for the first time after yesterday's election.
That would have been really bad news.
"Sorry...... do something like water"
"That's not true, because I'd be happy to work with you next year."
But add that and the words stop.
I know, there's no need to predict what you said.
"It's not about making memories, it's not about losing... it's not about the outcome of a separate battle, but it's different for some opponents"
Whoever loses in any battle, and laughs at it, can be convinced that this is the result of the status quo.
Besides, people like me can't do anything if they care about the ratings of people they don't know.
I should have thrown it away, putting on a crappy good look a long time ago.
Even me like that should be able to stick to winning for once or so.
"Say anything I can, because I'm here for you!
"It helps...... but don't you have to put your vote in Yudo?
In fact, if you're thinking about improving your abilities and organization, you'd better support Yudo.
Yudo also has the ability to respond adequately to that expectation.
One, I don't even know what I can do, I'm not even sure if it helps.
Koizumi immediately shook his head to the side to ask my question.
"Ogiwara, I'd love to work with you, but if you have friends, I'd like to support you."
"... a friend"
Did Koizumi look at me that way?
Honestly, I felt guilty when I heard these words.
There's still an opaque part of me about my relationship with friends.
It's a bad point that my obstinate personality has given rise to, but I still haven't been able to give the answer just there among myself.
You wondered at me for being silent, Koizumi looks back in the direction of the chairman's seat.
A distracted chairman tells me to change the story.
"Now, let's get back to business… for the next week or so, Makoto will be given campaign time, it's up to you to keep him alive or kill him"
Standing up from his seat, the chairman walks over to Koizumi and puts his hands over him.
And he gave me the usual smile.
"So from now on, you're the command tower, and what do we do to keep up with your imaginary scenario?
The look on his face seemed like a lot of fun.
Not only did I ask you to show me something different than what I imagined, I was told in a mixed voice with expectations.
"... the chairman should look into the pickup of the faculty with voting rights and the activities of the department in charge, Koizumi has something else to ask for"
"Say anything! First we need to secure the speaking area and get the props ready, and then..."
"No, I'll be fine later, and I won't be using both today."
I offer my hands to control Koizumi, who is going to list what he seriously needs, as if he were also doing in his own election.
And when I told him, Koizumi stiffened with his mouth open.
"Sure, it was possible to distribute prints and stuff to students from student councils, too, wasn't it?
"Ugh, yeah, that's possible, but I have to get ready for a manuscript or something, so if it's created by the end of the day, there's time..."
While Koizumi was making the most of the allegations, I took one sheet of paper out of my bag again.
It's a simple questionnaire I created yesterday on my own PC.
The contents are simple, two columns: one for voting for me or Yudo in the board election, and one for filling in the request you want for the student council.
And then there's the name of the organization to show that it's a survey from a date or student council, and a simple one with a title.
"This… I would like to print and distribute it for all grades"
That said, I gave Koizumi a lot of work from the first shot.
Lunch break
It was in front of the in-school bulletin board that students gathered before the school meal.
I don't know where the rumor was spreading from, but the students who heard about Yudo running for office were gathered in front of the main gate to make sure it was true.
"True! Ogiwara, it says your name."
"True goodness...... who is it?
There were a number of such voices flying from within the group.
I watched the view from the shade a little further away, but it showed a festive exuberance.
"I was expecting... you're pretty busy"
"Ogiwara has never been in a certain place before, like a group or a club."
Shizukuishi answers my whining.
Her hair had changed so that she could hang it in front of her when she tied it to one of these overheated, depressing pieces.
Since visibility and topicality precede and this is the only way to thrive, there is no doubt that students' votes will flow more to Yudo's side.
Students don't have my advance information against Yudo.
So much so that my classmates last year and my current classmates had an unexpected look on their face at best.
I mean, it's only recognized by students who were in my class, or it's a level of visibility that I'm sorry it's also a student council for once.
"I wonder what makes us so excited, even though we don't actually do something."
Zero his sigh by depositing his back in a large tree in the shade of a tree, Kirasaka glances at the sight in front of him before transferring his gaze immediately to the book at hand.
Usually, it's Kirosaka, an omnivorous reader who also calls Taizai Ji, Ryunosuke Mustard River, and sometimes a completely different genre of Lanobe, but only today, it's called "Must Win! How to Fight an Election 'What a frigid book I was reading.
You're both serious about changing your hair and books, you two.
"... from all around, this is a kind of festival, who beats who, and it's like the entertainment that humans have done in history to see it thrive"
We just came to check the bulletin board just in case, and we immediately turned our heels back and headed back to the building.
Me, Shizukuishi, Kirasaka, and Shiraishi, who seemed uncomfortable at the edge of his sight, looked at me like they said something.
"Oh, um... why was I called?
……
Without explaining the reason beforehand, I breathe Yabe, recalling that I only contacted the assembly in front of the gym to explain nothing because it was an urgent requirement.
"... waited for that word"
"Why, you never waited!? Because you just looked like 'Yabe', didn't you?
White Stone puts in a scratch without missing the rushing look that floated for just a moment.
But I looked back as if nothing had happened and told her what I was going to ask her to do when I crossed my gaze with her.
