Episode 378: Birth

"At this time, the Student Council election will begin."

With the words of the proceedings, the student general meeting began.

"First of all, I would like to report on the events that have taken place since the last student general meeting. I would like the person in charge to come on stage and make a report."

At first, it seems to be an event report.

However, since there were no major events during the first semester, a detailed report is made in about ten minutes, and it ends as it is.

"Thank you very much. Next, I would like to consider the problems at our school based on the internal questionnaire and the proposed bills. The person in charge, please come on stage."

Next, they gather the problems in High School life that were collected from all the students through questionnaires, and discuss what can be done to improve those problems.

After that, there were questionnaires and discussions on proposals other than the problems already mentioned.

The general students enrolled at our school have the highest level of academic ability in Japan, and many of them are actively working to improve school life, and a lively exchange of opinions takes place.

Because there are quite a few people, it is easier to see the people projected on the tablets in front of you, and I think it was easy to hear.

In the end, they come to a pretty good conclusion, and I think it is good that the students are able to understand the school we belong to.

"Next, we will report on the activities of each committee. First of all, the disciplinary committee, please."

"Yes."

Next are reports from each committee.

Ikusaba-senpai, the chairman of the disciplinary committee, takes the stage and talks about the incidents that were discovered in the activities so far and the activities that were improved, items that were confiscated or discarded were talked about, and the number of students who were suspended or expelled from school was reported.(TN:Apparently the disciplinary committee is called 'Judgment-kai', dunno why it's Engrish.)

"The people who used force against me were made to regret being alive, so I hope you can rest assured."

Ikusaba-senpai says such a thing and makes the place shudder, and the proceedings are rushed to the next committee report, and I can only laugh wryly.(TN:Ikusaba Tsubaki is the battle maniac that was going into heat after fighting Fuhito back around chapter 24 or so.)

After that, following the disciplinary committee, reports are made from each committee that runs the school.

"Next, we will report on the activities of each department. Let's start with the Dungeon Exploration Club."

"Yeah."

What followed was activity reports of club activities.

First, the Dungeon Exploration Club that I belonged to. It is the first report, probably because it is the largest club and the head of club activities.

However, due to the simultaneous Stampedes and the disappearance incident, exploration was voluntarily suspended, so we weren't able to do much. It is just a discussion of how to proceed with the training in the future.

Other club activities were so serious that ours didn't match up, it was full of ridiculously high-level reports, such as winning the national tournament, participating in the Inter-High, and being recognized by the Prime Minister.

"Our club activities are dangerous."

"I guess. We also witnessed it when we joined the trial club, so of course it's natural."

"Certainly. It felt like I was betting all of my youth on it."

"Really."

We nod at each other while remembering the time when we joined the trial club.

"Then, at the end, I would like to hold a speech meeting for the Student Council Officers. Since there were no opposition candidates other than the Student Council President this time, only the Student Council President candidate and the recommended person will make a speech. Please prepare yourself."

Then, we finally move on to today's main agenda, the Student Council President's speech.

Following the voice of the proceedings, the people of the current Student Council set up on the stage, Kanzaki-senpai, Nishiwaki-senpai, and the current Student Council President didn't help, but went up on the stage with Nishiwaki-senpai's recommendation and sat down on the prepared chairs.

"Now that the preparations have been completed, I would like to ask the one who recommended the Student Council President candidate, Nishiwaki Suou-kun to give a supportive speech."

"Yes."

First, it seems that the one who recommended Nishiwaki-senpai will give a supportive speech. I don't know who recommended Nishiwaki-senpai, but from his speech, I learned that it was a classmate, he continued to talk about how Nishiwaki-senpai would be a good fit for the Student Council President, and what kind of school it would be if he became the Student Council President.

"Thank you very much. Next, Student Council President candidate Nishiwaki Suou-kun, please."

"Yes."

Next is Nishiwaki-senpai's turn.

Nishiwaki-senpai once again tells everyone his usual speech, and ends his speech by saying that if he becomes the Student Council President, he will definitely make it happen.

"Thank you very much. Then, please give a speech in support of the Student Council President candidate Kanzaki Anzu-san."

"Yes."

In the meantime, the current Student Council President Hojou Tokine came to give a speech in support.

She enthusiastically tells everyone about Kanzaki-senpai's compassion. She explains how much Kanzaki-senpai thinks of the people around her, and how her usual lack of self-confidence is because she thinks a lot of people.

As expected of the current Student Council President, as she is familiar with the work, she is a very good public speaker. Everyone is drawn to her words.

"As expected of Student Council President Tokine."

"That's right. I don't think I can make a speech like that."

We praise the Student Council President's speech.

"Lastly, Kanzaki Anzu-san, please."

"Y, yes."

And finally, it is Kanzaki-senpai's turn.

At first, she seems unsure of herself, but after getting used to it, she gives a powerful speech, perhaps due to the power of the supportive speech, she concludes by saying that she will take over the Student Council built up by Tokine-senpai and realize a better school life.

"Well, I don't really know about this."

"Really."

When all the speeches are over, I think it was a difficult speech for both of them.

"Now, I would like to move on to voting. Please operate your tablet, log in to the voting screen with your student number, and cast your vote."

Then the voting went on. Instead of writing on paper and submitting it, it was digital voting with a tablet.

"Futuristic."

"If it's paper, it will take time to tally, and there will be invalid votes."

"That's for sure."

I follow the guidance on the tablet to the voting screen, log in with the password I set when I enrolled with my student number, and enter the voting screen.

Just when I was wondering which one to choose.

-Zuzu~n!

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

Along with the sound of something falling, screams erupt throughout the auditorium.

"What is that ..."

When I look up, the part that was the stage behind where everyone was mobilized had disappeared, and there was a gaping, pitch-black hole.

It seems that it has caved in.

"Gugya gya gya gya!"

"Kii kii kii kii!"

"Guwa! Guwa! Guwa!"

Familiar voices are heard from the hole. It is the cry of monsters.

"Why the hell is the monster's voice ..."

"That's ... A new dungeon must have been born here ..."

Aki next to me answers my muttering in a daze.

It is the first cry of a newly born dungeon, not one that had existed for decades.
