Mikado and the others had gone through a few days of high school life, and had just finished undergoing a health examination. Lessons would finally start the next day. Raira Academy had the tradition of organizing a school tour and club exhibitions the day after the matriculation ceremony and the third day was reserved for a school health examination and a class council meeting.
It was already the third day, during the class council meeting and it was time to appoint the class representatives, but-
"That's right, let's go pick up girls!"
Masaomi used both hands to slam a textbook shut, like in some ad he'd seen.
This was 1A, Mikado's class, yet Masaomi from class 1B was sitting inside. In a classroom where most of the people were wearing school uniforms, Masaomi, who had already started wearing casual clothes, stood out even more.
"Why are you here..."
Mikado had already known Masaomi was there a while ago, but had waited until now to say something. The teacher wasn't in the classroom, so student number 1 had taken over in heading the meeting.
"Uh, the maintenance committee representatives are Yamazaki-san and Nishizaki-san. The welfare committee representatives are Yagiri-san and Asakura-san. The discipline committee representatives are Kuzuhara-san and Kanemura-san, and the electoral committee representatives are..."
This school had a system of electing one male and female student to be representatives of each committee in the class. After the student heading the meeting had finished reading off the results on the blackboard, he thought for a while as to what he should do next.
"It's time to elect the class representatives, so does anyone want to run?"
"Me..."
Mikado grabbed Masaomi's hand with lightning-quick speed to prevent him from raising it, but then began to regret doing so.
-Class representative huh? Sounds fun, but it might be a pain too.
Mikado was looking for a respite from his mundane everyday life. He'd left the land that was all he had always known to come to this new world he'd never seen before. And spending some of the happiest days of his life in this new environment had only strengthened his resolve.
After feeling that inexplicable excitement from what he'd experienced, Mikado could now clearly comprehend what danger was, but still couldn't stop himself from crying out:
-I want more excitement! I want an unconventional life! I want more change!
If Mikado were to meet some extortionist or some scam artist or even a weird religious cult now, he might even get conned by them.
And if it was on Masaomi's invitation, he might even be willing to go to a Bosokozu gathering.
There was a part of Mikado's conscious which was in a rather dangerous state, but there was another part of it which badly wanted to run for a special position like the class representative. But then again, he was worried that his duties as a class representative might hinder him from his pursuit of excitement.
In times like this, he should first consider the situation first, but as he thought this-
"..."
A girl lowered her head slightly, and raised her hand.
It was the fair skinned, bespectacled girl-Sonohara Anri. It was the pretty, refreshingly refined girl with the vibe that repelled others.
"Oh, you're...Sonohara...Anri-san? Then everyone, please give a round of applause to acknowledge her appointment."
