The day after a very productive Valentine's Day, today is the day of the important Student Council election.

　The current time is 15:25.
　After taking classes in the morning and afternoon, all the members of the student council, including myself, are lined up on the stage of the gymnasium.

　Below us, there are about 540 students from all over the school, and their gazes pierce our entire body without mercy.

(I'm still nervous. ......)

　I let out a big breath to calm myself down.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can call us at the web site.
　They looked like mature women, with a sense of comfort and elegance in the air.

(Come to think of it, has this ever happened before? ......)

　That was, I think, at the entrance ceremony.
　I, Leah, and Rose, who were in the so-called "recommended group," had to do a brief self-introduction in front of the whole school.

　The princess of Vestellia and the bounty hunter of Sakuraga Itto-ryu.
　The "self-taught swordsman" who had been handed the baton by these two world-famous people was exposed to the icy stares and shed large tears in his heart.

(That time was really tough. ......)

　After being severely bullied at the Grand Academy of Swordsmanship, I wanted to be normal.
　I wanted to learn and train well, make friends as much as anyone else, play with my classmates once in a while, and live a normal student life.

(And yet, from the very first day of school, the likability of the entire school was negative. ......)

　I'm enjoying my life now, but .......
　I'm enjoying my life now, but at that time, I really thought I was going to die.

　As I was reminiscing about that time, Ms. Leia, standing in the middle of the stage, cleared her throat.

"Okay. We will now hold the election for the student council officers!

　When she announced this in a high-pitched voice, the gym erupted in applause.

I'm sure you've heard from your homeroom teachers, but I'd like to remind you as well. There were no new candidates this time, so there will be no regular election of officers. Instead, we will hold a "vote of confidence" in the previous year's student council officers!　--Please prepare the ballots that were distributed in homeroom!

　All the students began to move at the same time and took out white ballots from their pockets.

All students began to move at the same time and took out white ballots from their pockets.

　All the students from Class A to Class F of the third year cast their votes in order in a disciplined manner.

　After that, the ten-member election committee opened the ballot boxes, and in less than ten minutes, the counting was complete.

　As a result, the student body president Shih-Arkstria, secretary Lilim-Tuorine, and treasurer Ferris-Magdaloth were elected.
　It was decided that all the seniors would continue to serve.

　Incidentally, the position of "general affairs" is not subject to a vote of confidence, as it can be appointed by the president of the student body at will.
　In other words, Leah, Rose, and I were originally chosen to continue in the general affairs position.

(Hmm, that's a relief at any rate. ......)

　With the exception of Sebas, .......
　I've been working with the same team for the past year.
　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

　When it seemed that the vote of confidence would end without incident, the president suddenly walked over to the teacher.

　The two of them discussed something in a small voice, and at the same time, a refreshing smile appeared on their faces.

　At that moment.

(......!?!)

　(!?) An indescribable feeling of disgust ran down my spine.

(What the heck is .........? What was that creepy feeling I was getting?

　The true nature of the chill was revealed just a few seconds later.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

Hello, my name is Shih-Archstoria. I have a proposal to make to all of you, and I have taken this opportunity to do so. I don't have much time, so I'll be straight to the point. I would like to nominate Allen-Rhoddle, the current general secretary of the student council, for the currently vacant position of vice president.

　At that moment, the entire gymnasium began to buzz in unison.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why. This person is .......)

　I clenched my fists tightly and sighed loudly.
