Chapter 112 Invitation

Another new week.

   Private Toyonozaki Academy, one year E class.

   Monday morning class meeting.

  As a young teacher of the class guide, Nakamura-sensei made such an announcement.

   "Uh—I have sent information to everyone before, but next week... it should start on Tuesday, and the third-year students have to take the exam."

"Starting from the next semester, first- and second-year students will be the presidents of the student council, so we have to start the election campaign for the student council~ Those who want to run for election remember to take me to the election before the end of next week. form."

   "Because there must be recommenders, so the candidates in that area should also be decided. The form will be handed over next Monday next week~"

   After Nakamura-sensei finished speaking in a clear tone with his style, the class immediately became noisy.

"teacher!"

   A student raised his hand and asked, "Can a first-year student be the student council president?"

   Nakamura-sensei responded in this way.

   "The teacher has made it very clear just now that both first-year students and second-year students can participate in the election, and the final result will be voted by the students of the whole school together."

   "So even a first-year student, as long as he can get the votes of the majority, it is not impossible."

   Speaking of this, he paused for a while, then continued.

   "Well...but it doesn't matter if you don't get selected this year, because there will be another year next year, so consider it as an opportunity to exercise yourself. Everyone, please sign up to participate. The teacher has confidence in you."

   said so...but the tone was really lacking in reality. It doesn't make people feel that he has confidence in the fact that "a first-year student can become the student council president", it is more like a formulaic encouragement.

   But it is normal to think about it. Since it is a voting choice, it has essentially become a game of popularity.

   Not to mention the newly admitted first-year students, their popularity in the school is not as good as that of the senior students. In Japan, where there is a strong atmosphere of seniority ranking, it is already very stressful for these junior students to compete with their seniors.

   So, like in the anime, they would shout "Come and be the student council president!", and none of the students have such positive thoughts. After all, this may be a matter with a relatively large negative impact.

   Even so, everyone will still be excited to discuss this matter. However, the focus of the topic is still more in the scope of "which senior will be elected".

  Looking at the trend, it seems that the popularity will not drop until the exact person is selected.

   The four classes in the morning passed in a bland, and it was time for the lunch break.

  In the corner of the classroom, three desks were put together.

   "Student President~ It's not that you're not interested."

   Yamaguchi Takashi, who was eating a bento, said so.

  Yes, Yamaguchi brought a bento today. It was an accidental concern from my mother.

   "It would be really bad if Ah Xiao came to be the student council president."

   Takei Ichiro, who was also eating a bento (although he bought it), said bluntly, "You're going to say something like "dominate the women in this school". "

   "I said..."

   Yamaguchi squeezed his chopsticks, "How did you treat me all this time? Anyway, it's too much!"

   "Huh, isn't it?"

  Takei tilted his head for a while and said, "That's really to become popular."

   Yamaguchi didn't answer, just looked up at him.

   Seeing this, Takei reminded kindly as if he was certain.

   "But... filial piety, I think it's not "Being the student council president will make you popular", but "because you are popular, you will become the student council president", right? "

   "Of course I know that kind of thing." Yamaguchi muttered, "So just chatting chatting."

   "Besides, our first-year students have absolutely no chance of winning compared to our seniors..."

   Having said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Kato Yusuke.

   "...Speaking of which, if Kato is running for election, it should be possible to win, right?"

   Hearing what he said, Kato Yusuke gave a concise evaluation.

"boring."

   "Hey! Why?"

   Not only Yamaguchi, but also Takei looked over.

   Facing the exploratory gazes of the two, Kato Yuukai looked very calm.

   "You mean, have you forgotten that there are final exams before the summer vacation?"

   The voice fell.

  "—!"

   What caught my eye were two dull faces. immediately-

   "Totally forgot..." x2

   "I think so too." Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, "So if you have time to think about those messy things, it is better to start preparing for the exam first, I think it will be better."

  "…"

   I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that after saying this. The expression of "Mangosteen Combination" seemed to have become paler, and even the highlights in his eyes were lost.

   So he stopped talking, and continued to bow his head and enjoy the bento made by his little girlfriend.

   I thought I could spend my lunch break with such peace of mind. result-

   "Kato! Are you there?!"

   A loud call from a dead house came from the door.

   The voice was so loud that even the Mangosteen brothers who were in an "abnormal state" responded.

   "What? Is that your friend?" Yamaguchi asked.

   Kato Yusuke shook his head.

   "That's Aki from Class A. I remember that I came to see you last time, Kato."

   Kato Yusuke then shook his head.

   "Ah, I've come over."

   Takei's words just fell, and An Yilun's voice sounded seamlessly.

   "Kato!"

   The other party put a hand on his shoulder and said in a serious tone.

   "I have something very important to tell you!"

   Kato Yusuke let out a disappointed sigh.

   At this point, the peaceful lunch break is officially over.

  …

  At the strong request of the other party, he followed An Yilun out of the classroom and then came to the atrium.

   The noon sun was hanging overhead, and a heat wave hit the face instantly.

   Amidst the annoying sound of cicadas, I bought a refreshing cold drink from the vending machine.

   "So, although I don't hold out my expectations...but what's the important thing?"

   Kato Yusuke asked directly.

   In this regard, An Yilun did not answer directly. Instead, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose as if he was trying to sell off, and the lenses reflected white light.

   Then the momentum was brewing.

   pointed at Kato Yusuke with one hand on his waist and said word by word.

   "Listen to Kato! That light novel! The second volume of the love metronome, the release date was finally announced this morning, and it's still a signing event—!!"

   As if by magic, he took out what looked like two tickets from his pocket.

   "So this Saturday morning, let's go together!"

   A brief silence.

"…that's it?"

   Kato Yusuke's eyes twitched slightly.

   "No no no! Your reaction is wrong! You should be showing excitement at this time, right!"

   The high-spirited An Yilun also waved his hands again and again, and then said to Kato Yusuke in a tone of "I really can't help you."

   "No way, do it again! This time you have to cooperate with me!"

After   , he put on his pose again and repeated what he said a few seconds ago.

   "So this Saturday morning, let's go together!"
