Episode 358: Candidate

The weekend is over and school starts again.

I didn't take a day off last week due to the request, so I'd like to try to be able to take it more slowly by rotating this week.

I would like to help as many people as possible, but it would be no good if I end up injuring myself.

I wake up at the usual time, watch the news while playing with Luck, and head to the dining room when it's time.

"Morning."

"Ou, morning."

I exchange greetings with Aki, and then lightly greet the other dormitory students as I sit down on a chair in the dining room.

"Hey. Who do you think will win?"

"Nn? What are you talking about?"

Aki brings up some topic, but I don't understand what he is talking about and tilt my head.

"Did you forget. It's about the Student Council President."

"Ahh, come to think of it, I was so busy that I completely forgot about it."

To the words that Aki tossed at me while being amazed, come to think of it, I remember that.

September has entered its second week, and it seems that the Student Council President election will begin in earnest.

"I see, then, who's running?"

"That is ..."

According to Aki, there are four candidates running for Student Council President. All are third years.

The first was the Vice-President of the Student Council, Nishiwaki Suou-senpai. Our first meeting was when he came to bring back the Student Council President, who was enjoying a conversation with us after skipping out on her job at the first-year dormitory welcome party.

Since then, I have often seen a similar situation, and I can feel the atmosphere of someone who is a bit of a worldly-wise man from him.

The second person is Kanzaki Anzu. With a small appearance and a suspicious behavior. She has a reputation for being cute like a small herbivorous animal from her appearance.

"I want to protect her."

That was Aki's impression.

However. I think she isn't the type to be the Student Council President, so when I asked him about it, he told me that she was recommended by someone else.

The person who recommended her was our Student Council President, Houjo Tokine. She is the current Student Council President, and it is a recommendation from her who has fulfilled her duties. I think that alone will increase the support rate.

The third and fourth were Senpais whom I had never met or seen before.

One of them is a very serious Senpai who wears glasses that perfectly fits the word 'chairman', which is rare these days.

Complete elimination of illicit sexual relationships.

That's his pledge, and he's been called an inflexible, straight-laced guy, and if he becomes the Student Council President, people are worried that many things might get banned.

If this person becomes the Student Council President, even conversations with female students will be prohibited, so his approval rating seems to be low.

The fourth and final person is exactly the stereotypical Gal. Her skin is tanned, her uniform is worn casually, and she vaguely exposes her vulnerability, she seems outrageous.

Because she is an explorer student, she is a little off the beaten track compared to serious people in the general category.

"Those boobs ... Guhehe."

Aki gives a perverted grin as he speaks. She clearly wants votes from the boys.

She also pledges 'Freedom'. If she were to become the Student Council President, she will be the complete opposite of the previous Presidential Candidate, and she would like the school to be less formal and more relaxed.

"Well, personally, I want Gyaru-senpai to win, but I think it will probably be either Nishiwaki-senpai or Kanzaki-senpai."

After introducing each of them, Aki seems to have narrowed it down to those two.

It's true that knowing the work of the Student Council will make learning the new job and handing things over smoother.

Given that, I think it would be appropriate to choose one of the two.

"Ohh, shall we go."

"Ahh, that's right."

After eating breakfast and getting ready, we leave for school and immediately run into an election campaign.

"When I become the Student Council President!!"

I think he's the 'chairman' because he looks more serious than others.

He speaks quite enthusiastically. Whether or not people are listening is a different story.

It seems that the content is a bit too restrictive and doesn't attract much interest.

"Good morning. I wish you the best."

"Morning. Thanks ... Wait!! Outrageous!! It's outrageous, you guys!!"

When we pass in front of him, we greet him lightly, but when he sees us, his expression changes sharply and he stops us.

"Wh, what exactly is it!?"

I'm perplexed by the Chairman-senpai who keeps rushing toward me.

"Foolishness!! Walking side by side with female students is outrageous!!"

"No, even if you say that, it's normal to walk with friends."

"No way, that's no good, that's no good!! If I become the Student Council President, I'll definitely ban such displays!!"

Chairman-senpai yells at me as if spitting at me. He doesn't listen to me at all when I object.

I wonder if he has some kind of grudge against girls.

"Damnit ... You damned riajuu. I'll definitely eradicate you."

Senpai glares at us in disgust.

I wondered if there was some kind of deep reason, but it was just a personal grudge because he was unpopular ...

"Haa ... Well then, we're going."

He seems to be staring at us, and to Senpai who is still staring somewhere and muttering, I call out in amazement, and head for the classroom.

""Definitely not that person.""

That is the common opinion that I, Aki, Shia, and Noelle all express.
