"...Then, the above is my speech. I also ask everyone to cast a fair vote for Kato-san."
The girl finally said this, and then walked off the stage. Her slender back was bathed in all kinds of eyes.
"——Kato-san, thank you very much." The host said belatedly.
After a brief silence, the venue turned still.
"Hey, did you see that girl?"
"Ah! It's so beautiful."
"Oops, that type happens to be in my strike zone!"
"You seem to be in the first grade? Are there such beautiful girls in our school?"
The students whispered among themselves and looked towards the first graders' seats.
However--
"That's weird, who is that girl?"
"Hmm... I have no impression at all. Should I say it's really from our grade?"
"... Even the name is the same, it seems to be Kanae?"
As they saw, most of the first-year students looked confused and thinking hard.
Some people were even called by the wrong name.
This deeply irritated the relatives and friends of the person involved.
"No, it's Megumi Kato!"
Himekawa Yoshiko came back from the state of emotion and pride, and then refuted to the people around her: "Ka·fuji·Megumi. The plus of addition and subtraction, the vine of vines, the benefit of Egata Juan, do you understand?"
When he said this, the expression on his face was one of pride.
However……
"Is there... such a person in our class?"
"That being said, it's true..."
"She seems to be Kato Yusuke-san's partner, right? I feel like she doesn't have much presence."
Even the students in the same class looked confused, but their attention quickly shifted to other places.
"But it's so amazing, just by growing long hair, she turned into that kind of super beautiful girl!"
"I've been in the same class for so long but I haven't noticed yet. What have I been doing...!?"
…
Most of the boys were beating their chests and stamping their feet and looking shocked.
Seeing this scene, Jia Zi snorted and glared at them, with a slightly proud expression.
Today's Megumi Kato may become a lifelong memory for many boys in her class.
An Yilun, an otaku who had met Kato Megumi before, also stared blankly at the long-haired version of Kato Megumi who made a gorgeous appearance that day. He felt that a gentle and melodious melody was slowly ringing in his ears, and his heart
Got a shock.
As the girl's figure disappeared behind the curtain, many people sighed in despair.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the host of the event intervened at the right time: "Then the next is the speech of the president candidate, Kato Yusuke. Please——"
"Wait a moment." Someone said loudly in a condescending tone.
The sudden sound not only interrupted the host's words, but the audience was also stunned and looked towards the source of the sound.
Soon, they found their target.
I saw a slender figure slowly walking out of the third-grade team, and then stepped onto the stage with calm steps.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"It's Chairman Okita."
"President."
"President."
"President."
"Ah, it's the former student council president."
"…………"
Suddenly an inappropriate word was inserted into the greetings, causing the atmosphere to become silent for a moment. Everyone looked around, trying to find out who was so ignorant.
At this time, Okita had already arrived in front of the ceremony stage.
First he nodded to the host on the side, and then said to the audience: "Sorry to interrupt everyone, before the election activities continue, I want to say something here and give an overview of the work of the Student Union over the past year.
Please bear with me for this brief report."
Hearing his words…
"Ok, President Okita?"
The host on the side said with some surprise and embarrassment: "This link seems not to be within the scope of the plan..."
In response, Okita looked at the other party deeply and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any problem?"
The stern look in his eyes made the host take two steps back unconsciously, and then shook his head repeatedly to express that it was no problem.
After saying that, he quickly ran off the stage and hid behind the curtain.
So the student council president's speech continued.
Under the stage, in the area where the teachers sit.
Teacher Nakamura frowned slightly, feeling a little bad in his heart.
Teacher Hasumi on the side asked in a low voice: "Okita-kun, is he the one who had a conflict with Kato-kun, right?"
Nakamura Katsu nodded silently.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to the old man sitting in front: "Principal, wouldn't this be bad? Should I change Okita-san's speech to the end?"
However, I don't know whether he didn't hear clearly or what, but the old man with gray hair and kind face turned around and made a quiet gesture with his finger to his mouth.
Then he said: "Shh...keep quiet at this time, Mr. Nakamura."
The tone was not harsh, but very gentle.
But Nakamura Katsu could only nod helplessly and said sorry.
Seeing that the teachers didn't react at all, the students naturally didn't say much.
Even if there are any thoughts, most of them will only be buried in the heart.
Following the crowd has become an instinctive habit.
…
Skip some social rhetoric and get straight to the point.
"... During yesterday's personal belongings inspection, members of the student union found some items that were not in compliance with school regulations. Although our school's school spirit is very open and respects everyone's personal interests, the school is a place where we can grow better for the future.
So please leave irrelevant items at home so as not to disturb others."
"The most serious one is the unusual behavior discovered by the student members of trying to hide more than one kilogram of video items in someone else's shoe cabinet...more specifically, it is the kind of meaningless and full of various
An otaku anime CD with female images.”
"For such inappropriate behavior, we have criticized and educated the parties involved and will continue to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. We hope that successors will also keep this in mind and abide by the principle."
Okita weaved the words one by one and gradually guided the atmosphere.
"In addition, while serving as the student council president, we have been making continuous efforts to change school life in a better direction. For example-"
"The selection of products in the canteen is not enough, the playground floor is uneven, the ball club wants an electric air pump, and the canteen also hopes to have a system that can hold large bowls of rice, and so on."
"Thanks to everyone's help, several of the problems have indeed been improved. I believe students in my class have also seen this."
At this point, Okita suddenly stopped.
After a brief silence, the second and third grade students also applauded him one after another.
This is an affirmation of his past work.
From this point on, the atmosphere was completely under Okita's control.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, his eyes glanced behind the scenes as if inadvertently, and then he continued to speak.
"It's not about pursuing unattainable ideals, but about making changes from practical places. I think that is the responsibility I should take... For example, the problem of no air conditioning in the first-grade classrooms, our student union has always attached great importance to it and has never given up.
Just work hard on this.”
Hearing his words, the first-year team couldn't help but make some commotion.
The thought "It turns out we have not been abandoned" gradually emerged from their hearts, which also made them have a better impression of the person on the stage.
"but--"
Okita suddenly changed his words and said: "As far as I know, someone made similar remarks a while ago in order to succeed in the election, and used this method to attract a lot of votes."
"As a third-year student who is about to graduate, some of my findings can't help but make me a little worried. Because the person who keeps saying he wants to make changes for everyone turns out to be someone who is obsessed with otaku-style works."
Without waiting for everyone to react, he continued: "Not only that, that person seems to be a dangerous person outside the school. Two days ago, he seemed to have held a Yakuza welcome ceremony in front of the school gate. No one knew this place.
After all, it’s not a school anymore.”
"so……"
Okita said to the audience with a worried tone: "Whether it is for my friends or for my juniors, I am very worried about people who bring this bad atmosphere into the school. I hope
Everyone can vote carefully in the next election, that’s all.”
After a deep bow.
Taking advantage of the moment when people were thinking, he called back the host who was hiding behind the scenes, and walked towards the audience gracefully.
Not just who started it.
"Chairman Okita, we will support you!"
"come on!"
Somewhere in the audience, probably students who were close to him, made a sound of approval.
Then, taking that voice as an opportunity, the atmosphere began to spread and took over everyone.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the host quickly asked out the next speaker.
In such a situation, a tall figure slowly walked out from behind the scenes.
