Chapter 12[1/2]: A Quarrel Between.. (Not) Lovers?

//A Quarrel Between.. (Not) Lovers?//

It's the day after the yesterday, when Peter-sama, Emie-sama, and I had a civilized talk inside the student council room about the upcoming elections

Yesterday seemed to quite disappoint and exhaust me, it also turned out to be such a failure when I tried having a personal conversation with Peter-sama accompanied by Emie-sama. Even after that, now I have the burden to prepare my campaign for the following annual student council election to an extent; the reason being is because who I am opposing against, is the one and only, entitled daughter of the Minister of Legislations, Emie Couture(My future girlfriend in short).

I might not have to face this challenge immediately(The mid-term academic elections is gonna be two weeks from now), but not only do I have to prepare even more on campaigning after Emie-sama joining as well, I also have to endure the huge amount of overconfidence and badmouthing she's going to force me breath in these following weeks of pressure. But luckily, Erika-chan and Louiz-sama are going to console and support me. Currently, Erika-chan is still frustrated at me for not waking her up, and can barely hold herself off from ripping my ear off; Louiz-sama is trying hard to not do the same as Erika, and 'blames himself' while blood drips from lip-biting. I don't know whether to call them entitled, but I'm easily at fault for not doing the obvious(After all, I've promised to do this everyday since). I'm genuinely sorry to Louiz-sama, though. I honestly forgot about him. (Am I that bad of a friend?)

Anyways, beside those facts, both Erika and Louiz are with me inside the council room. Due to the fact that I've been too shaky on planning, I forcefully brought them here to talk about having them accompany and assist me during campaigning. The three princes are here for this reason.

"Well, were you two intentionally willing to assist Miss Collins here? It seems to be like.. both of you are quite exhausted."

Alec-sama breaks the initial silence, it is appreciated.

"..Yes we have, we intentionally came here to ask to be back-up for our friend here, isn't that right, Ai?"

"That is very much correct, Louiz-sama. And Erika-chan, do you have the papers I gave you.. Erika, are you listening to me?"

She's staring at Klain-sama while the prince is reading a book, he looks very uncomfortable.

[Lord Mikhail deeply breathes in.]

"..ERIKA!" Louiz-sama shouted.

"Hah..?! Y-yes, I do have the papers you gave me!"

Klain-sama gestures relieved thanks. Eri is angrily pouting at Louiz, he's showing annoyance. I'm in the middle of a warzone right now, and this couch is too crowded.

Peter-sama as the council president, is working everyday. In the game, the insight on him shows that he is really passionate on this team building stuff. He wakes up very early and has to go to the academy even earlier! His daily paperwork and mail sent by personal acquaintances and school clients often lead him being the major factor of managing the events, let alone his experience the past few years of being the reoccurring leader of the academy. But he's at most, outshone of overall academic statistics by the youngest brother, Alec-sama. Meanwhile on Klain-sama's side, he's the type of 'silent, cool, and chill' side-character everyone loves that you see in most generic western romance movies.

"Hm.. who might that be?" Alec-sama questions.

Midway in our group conversation, the door creaks slightly open.

"Fufu! It looks like the com-.."

"..I-It looks l-like.. you've come here as well, Aiko Collins! Just give it up already!"

"Hm? Did Emie-sama just stutter?"

"I did NOT! Do not speak you.."

"Please calm down, Emie-sama, Ms. Collins.. Anyhow, Couture-sama and I are here to discuss about the upcoming academic elections."

"Oh, and who might you be, fair lady?"

"..My apologies, my name is Clara Page, I am one of the personal maids inside the Couture house; I am pleased to meet you."

"I am here to apply as the assistant to accompany and assist Couture-sama during the academic election events."

Ara? She's introduced too soon?!

This young woman is 「Clara Paris」, a long-time entrusted maid of the Couture house AND Emie-sama. If you're wondering why I've reacted like that, the large turn of events the past few days have already made it so the introduction of the characters are out-of-place, it's quite intriguing to say the least..
