The day after I joined the student council as a general secretary.

　After morning classes, Leah, Rose, and I gathered in front of the student council room.
　We were there to participate in the regular daily lunchtime meeting.

　I knocked on the door on behalf of the three of us.

"Come in.

　I knocked on the door on behalf of the three of us, and the president's voice came back like a bell being rolled.

"Excuse me.

　When I slowly opened the door, I saw the president, Lilim, and Ferris.
　Everyone was seated in their own seats, with lunch boxes on their desks.

Welcome. Allen-kun, Leah-san, Rose-san.

This is your first regular meeting ......, so brace yourselves!

We're just going to have dinner, as usual. ......

　It's a good thing that our desks are already set up, and there are three seat cards with our names and positions written on them.

　After a brief greeting to the seniors, we took our seats.

Then, let's introduce ourselves first!

　The chairman said, and looked at the senior to his left, Lilim.

I'm in class 2A. --I'm Lilim-Tuorine, the secretary of Class 2A. I'm the secretary of Class 2A, and I do most of the work for the vice president!　I'll see you around!

　Lilim-Tuorine.
　Light brown hair, a little short.
　Her hair is parted to the left with a pink hair clip, and her forehead is well exposed.
　She is an energetic female student with big cat eyes.

Ferris Magdalloch, treasurer of Class 2A. She is the treasurer of Class 2A, but only in name, and does most of the work for the vice president (that idiot). I'd like you to get along with him. ......

　Ferris Magdalloch.
　Dark blue hair cut off at the shoulder.
　His right eye is hidden by a fringe, and he has a face that gives a downer impression in contrast to Lilim.
　He is a little taller than the president, about 160cm.

I'm She-Archstria, student body president of Class 2A. I'm the student council president, but that's just my name, I ask the vice president to do all the work. Let's have some fun!

　Surprisingly, our student council was all "in name only".

(All the work is concentrated on the vice president. ...... Are you okay with that?

　Suddenly, the relationship between Ms. Leia and Mr. 18 came to my mind.

　Then we did a brief self-introduction, following the example of the presidents.

My name is Allen-Rhoddle. At the invitation of the president, I've joined the student council as the general secretary. I look forward to working with you.

My name is Leah Vesteria. I look forward to working with you all this year.

Rose Valencia. Nice to meet you.

　After we introduced ourselves, the six of us had a nice lunch together.
　The chairman, Lirim, and Ferris were all good people, and we had a great time.

　The only thing that bothered me was .......

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience.

　During the regular meeting, nothing was said about the work of the student council.

(......No, come to think of it, today is like a "first meeting". I'm sure they're just trying to get to know each other as quickly as possible.

　However, my expectations ...... or wishes were completely betrayed.

　After that, a week or two passed, but the ...... student council really did not do any work.
　This is symbolized by the pile of papers on the vice president's desk.

　And then one day.
　One day, the president of the student council couldn't bear to look at the pile of papers that was growing larger by the day, and muttered to himself.

The vice-president is coming home later than expected. ...... This might be a little bad.

　I'm sure you've heard the announcement about the club's expenses war, that they were leaving the country due to a punishment game,........
　I've been wondering about this for a while, so I'll take this opportunity to ask.

I've been wondering about this for a while, so I'll take this opportunity to ask him. Where are you going?

　Then the Chairman gave a very normal and outrageous reply.

"The underground mines of the Holy Roman Empire.

"Where's ......?

　The Holy Roneria Empire is a dictatorship ruled by an evil emperor, and is one of the countries designated by the government as a no-fly zone.

What was the vice president doing in such a dangerous place?

Excavation.

The ...... dig?

Yeah. When deciding on a punishment, I said, "I want a blood diamond," and he said, "Leave it to me! I said, ".......". I really went to collect it. ...... I'm in trouble.

　And then the chairman gave a small sigh.

　Blood diamonds.
　It is a very rare mineral that is mined in the depths of the Holy Roneria Empire.
　The crimson glow of it is so beautiful that it is favored by royalty and nobility as a gemstone.
　However, because of the location of its mining, it is rarely distributed in the market.
　On the rare occasions when it is put up for auction, it fetches eye-popping prices and is widely covered in the papers.

(But, in such a light-hearted way, ...... to the Holy Roneria Empire?

　From what I've heard, the vice president seems to be a very dangerous person.



　Then Lilim and Ferris, who were listening to the conversation, opened their mouths.

He's coming home late, isn't he? Could it be that ...... is dead?

"No, no. I can't imagine that idiot dying. ......

Haha, that's true!

　Apparently, his sturdiness is such that the members of the student council have given him their seal of approval.

(Yes, I wonder what kind of person he is. ......)

　I wanted to meet him for a while.

　The rest of the day was filled with soul-dressing classes in the morning, regular meetings in the student council room during the lunch break, soul-dressing classes again in the afternoon, and after-school activities in the swinging club.

　Time flies when you're having fun, and before you know it, it's the 30th of June.
　It was the last day of the first semester at Senbi Academy.

"Okay, that's it, I'm done returning the answer sheets!　If you have any questions or grading errors, please come to me!

　Ms. Leia then clapped her hands.
　It was the last day of the first semester, and all the final exams that had been taken the other day had been returned.

"Yeah, I guess that's about it. ......

　I looked at the answer sheet that had just been returned to me and nodded quietly.

　Sixty-eight points for Japanese.
　Mathematics, seventy-eight.
　History sixty-two points.
　Chemistry 75.
　Military Science 85.

　When I breathed a sigh of relief that I had surpassed the red mark of forty points, Leah saw me and patted my chest.

Thank God, you're okay!

"Yeah, sort of.

　I'm glad you're okay!" "Yeah, I guess so," she said. "It's a big deal that we avoided that, because students who get red marks have to take make-up classes during the summer vacation.

Leah is ...... awesome as always.

　She has scored over ninety points in all of them, and a perfect hundred in military science. I'd heard she was gifted from a young age, but these results are really impressive.

Thanks a lot.

　After confirming that we had both avoided red marks, Leah and I turned our attention to the problematic Rose.

　Yes. She was surprisingly very, very bad at studying.
　When I saw Rose with a serious face muttering, "I don't ...... understand what I don't understand," I was convinced that this was no joke and that she was really a bad person (・・・・).

　After that, we held an overnight study camp, and Leah and I took turns cramming our knowledge to the very limit.

(We managed to finish everything within the scope of the exam. ......)

　(I managed to finish everything within the scope of the exam. .......) He said he had no response. .......

"How did it go ...... Rose?

"Well, I hope it was okay ......?

　Then she slowly turned around.

"Safe!

　All of the scores were in the 40s - just short of a red mark - and she flashed her answer sheet.

"Oh, you did it!

That's great!　You did great from there!

Thanks for the help, .......

　At any rate, all the students were able to avoid getting red marks.

　Now we can participate in the summer camp of the student council, which is scheduled to start tomorrow.

　Afterwards, Ms. Leia began the last homeroom after grading errors and answering questions.

"Well, tomorrow is your long-awaited summer vacation!

　The summer vacation of the fifth academy is a little earlier than the other middle school sword academies.
　We have a whole month off, from July 1st to July 31st.

　It is said that this is to take care of the first-year students who are tired from the hard soul-dressing classes.

This is the first summer vacation of the high school. I understand your excitement, but don't get too carried away!　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　And so, the first semester of the Senbi Academy was successfully completed.

The next day.

　The next day.
　The next day, I went out to the city of Orest with the map that the chairman gave me in hand.
　Behind me were Leah and Rose in their uniforms.

"Hey, Allen. Where are we?

"I think there's a ...... on the right side of this street. Here.

　When I turned down the street in front of me, there was a large mansion with a large garden.
　The stone nameplate was carved with the name "Arcturia", so there was no doubt that this was the chairman's house.

(It's a magnificent mansion, by the way. ......)

　As I looked up at the majestic, three-story structure.

"Oh, Allen!　This way, this way!

　As I was looking up at the majestic three-story building, I saw the chairman of the board jumping up and down in the middle of the garden, waving his hand and calling out to me.
　Behind her, there are also two of the usual student council members.

"Good morning, Mr. President, Mr. Lirim and Mr. Ferris.

Good morning, Allen. Good morning, Allen-kun.

Good morning, Allen-kun!　It's another beautiful day!

....... ...... Good morning.



　The chairman and Lirim went about their business as usual, but Ferris looked even more languid than usual.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on this on the web.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure how I feel about ...... your sister in her casual clothes.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea to have a good time.

I think it suits you very well.

"Mmm, thanks.

　She was in a good mood and hummed as she walked towards a large warehouse-like building.

"Hey guys, this way!

　When I followed her into the building, there was a large airplane stored there.
　The plane seemed to be ready for takeoff, and there were three pilots sitting in the cockpit.

"Ta-da!　It's our family's private jet!　This is our private jet, we're flying to Veneria today!

　A magnificent mansion and a large private jet - it's so luxurious that it could be mistaken for the five wealthy merchants.

I'm not sure if you are an aristocrat or not.

I'm not sure.　I've been a member of the Arcturia family for many years and have held important positions in the government. Roddis-Arcustria is my father's name, have you ever heard of it?

I've seen that name in the papers a few times. ......

　I don't remember very clearly, but I believe he was a minister in some ministry.

We're ready to go. We're ready to go. Get in, get in, get in.

"First flight since spring break!　I'm so excited!

Lilim likes mechanical things too much. ......

　Then we followed the chairman up the boarding gate.

　The inside of the private jet was like a luxurious guest room.
　It had a sofa, a bed, a kitchen and a refrigerator.

　After a leisurely flight, we arrived at the South Sea resort of Veneria Island a few hours later.

　Veneria Island.
　It's one of the most popular tourist spots in the country.
　It's said that many tourists from neighboring countries flock here to enjoy the beautiful sea and sandy beaches.

　What greeted us as we stepped off the private jet was the ocean spreading out before us.

"Oh, my God, it's beautiful!　Look at it, Allen!　It's so beautiful!

It's amazing.

"Mmm, nice breeze.

Yoo-hoo!

Hey, Lilim, that's for the mountains. ......

　While everyone was spilling their thoughts and impressions, I was alone in my excitement.

(This is the ocean .......)

　I had spent my childhood in the inland village of Gosa, and my secondary school years at the Grand Academy of Swordsmanship, and this was the first time I had ever seen the ocean.

　The water was endlessly blue and clear.
　The distinctive smell of the sea breeze.
　The white, beautiful sandy beach.

(Wow, it's all just like my mom said ......!

　And as I was being struck by my first sight of the sea.

So, ......, me, Lilim and Ferris are going to go clean up the villa down the road. I think it's a bit (・・・・) messy after not being used for a while.

　For some reason, the chairman suggested that we go our separate ways.

"Well, then we'll go with you...

"No, no, no, no!　Don't worry about it!　We'll finish the cleaning quickly on our own!　It's really okay!

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to do.　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

(...... maybe the chairman's personal belongings that he doesn't want to be seen too often are scattered about)

　I'm sure that's the case, judging from the fact that he doesn't leave it to the servants to clean up, but goes out of his way to do it himself. ......

I don't know. Anyway!　We're going to clean up the villa a bit!　I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

"Okay, sure.

　Then the three of us headed for the beach house that was just down the road.

　After a few minutes of walking along the beautiful beach, we saw a very large beach house ahead.

"Oh, you mean this one?

It's a big beach house. It's full of people!



"It's pretty crowded.

　It was a wooden beach house that looked like three average houses put together.

　The right half of the store sold yakisoba, curry rice, and other rice dishes.
　On the other half, the left half, there were beach balls, simple rubber boats, and other fun items.

(Yes, with so many things to choose from, I think I can kill enough time.

　As we strolled into the store, Leah reacted to something.

"Su, watermelon splitting: ......?　

　What she was looking at was a "watermelon splitting set," which consisted of a watermelon, a stick and a blindfold.

　As usual, Rose added an explanation.

It's a traditional game in this country. Blindfolded, you smash the watermelon.

"Well, is that fun ......?

　Leah tilts her head curiously, as if there is no watermelon splitting culture in Vestellia.

I'm sure it'll be fun to try it later.

　As we were enjoying looking at the various products, an old man in front of us suddenly slashed at Leah.

"Watch out, Leah!

What?

　He held her close with his right hand and drew his sword with his left, somehow blocking the deadly blade.

"Gosh, you little ......... You're in my way. ......

...... wand. What the hell are you?

　This is not a street robbery.
　There was a clear intent to kill Leah.

　And then.

"Huh, so I told you. ....... Don't take us by surprise, just attack us all together. ......

"Princess Leah. I have nothing against you, but you're going to die here for your country.

　All of the customers in this store surrounded us with unsheathed swords.

(Forty, or even ...... more than fifty ......)

　It seems that at the beginning of the summer vacation, I got involved in something incredibly troublesome.
