chapter 313
313.This Election…Is Ruined (4)
“Hello, principal!”
Following her her etiquette her her her, Millia slightly lifted the ends of her skirt and bent her waist at a 30-degree angle. Principal Merlin was impressed by her appearance
‘It’s neat manners.’
“Oh, Millia. “Do you want to sit here?”
“Yes!”
Milia sat down as Principal Merlin recommended and glanced at the three people sitting to her left.
Competitors in this student council president election.
Olive Cromwell of the Faculty of Knights.
Laferrine Nereid of the Faculty of Magic.
Mimosa Velvet from the Faculty of Theology.
And…Milia Quartz.
The four candidates gathered together and looked at Principal Merlin.
“…4 people like this. “You are the participants in this student council president election.”
“Yes!”
Olive smiled confidently and looked at her principal. His face was full of confidence. He is confident that he can become student president. The three people who caught a glimpse of his confidence had similar feelings.
‘You look overflowing with enthusiasm…’
For some reason, he seems like a person who would make a fuss if he became the student council president. Millia evaluated him that way.
“Hehe, don’t be nervous. “I was just trying to tell the student council president candidates directly about the schedule.”
“The four of us were selected as candidates…”
La Perrine tried to act relaxed and looked around her. Some are familiar, but some are unfamiliar. Milia and olives were the former, and mimosa was the latter.
‘I don’t feel like it.’
Mimosa made eye contact with her competitors with her smiling face, and finally turned to Milia with her murderous gaze. A gaze full of jealousy. Millia tilted her head at her gaze
‘The gaze is stinging? What? ‘I didn’t do anything?’
Milia felt embarrassed by the gaze she rarely felt at the academy. What on earth? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure out what the reason is.
Because there was no contact with mimosa.
“Wow, it’s already hot.”
“What is the student council president? Becoming a student representative of the academy! How could it not be hot!”
“Haha. “You have a good posture.”
“I will make sure to live up to Principal Merlin’s expectations!”
‘My ears hurt.’
Milia wanted to cover her ears from the voice that shook her eardrums, but she couldn’t, so she desperately managed her expression. Because she couldn’t show herself like that in front of the principal.
“Hmm. Then don’t tell me. You will be speaking in the auditorium in a week. What kind of speech it will be is entirely up to you. You can campaign in the meantime… But you must not use illegal means.”
Milia raised her hand as if she were in class.
Principal Merlin smiled happily as he saw her like that.
“Can I hear about illegal means?”
“That’s a good question. Illegal means… Refer to any attempt to bribe students with money, threaten them, or manipulate voting results. It could be said that slandering other candidates also falls into that category.”
“I see…”
“Hmm, to continue, the order of speeches will be decided from now on.”
“How do you decide the order of speeches?”
“Let’s make it simple. Now, take this note.”
Principal Merlin placed four neatly folded notes, from which she had no idea, in her palm. The student council president candidates thought for a moment, then each took a piece of paper.
“The numbers written there indicate the order in which you will give your speech. “I want to unfold it.”
‘I am the last!’
Milia had a hard time deciding whether she should like the fact that she was last in line or not. Because it was a completely unknown experience for her. So she decided to think optimistically.
“I am the first.”
“I am second!”
“I am the third.”
“I’m the last one!”
“Hmm. They are Olive, Miss Laperine, Miss Mosay, and Miss Millia, in that order. We will proceed in this order, so just remember it and prepare your speech.”
“Yes!”
Everyone’s voices overlapped.
“Then I’m done with my business, so let’s go back.”
Everyone bowed and stood up after Principal Merlin’s words.
———————
The four people who left the principal’s office looked at each other. In the meantime, Millia smiled brightly and spoke to La Perrine, whom she had known from the beginning.
“La Perrine! As expected, La Perrine appeared as a candidate?”
“I also thought that Ms. Millia would appear in the liberal arts department.”
“Huh! Because becoming student council president is one of my goals!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Millia’s confident declaration of her. Curiosity, favor, and… Jealousy. Milia continued her words, feeling various gazes on her.
“So, I will fight the election with all my might!”
“It’s like Miss Millia.”
“What a passion!”
Olive looked at Milia with a favorable gaze. It was natural that he, who was famous for his sincerity in the Knight School, would have a crush on Milia. Because he likes those who work hard.
“Hehe.”
“Miss Millia. It’s the last one. Don’t you feel burdened?”
“Uhm~ I’m excited rather than burdened!”
At Millia’s words her her her, La Perrine looked at her with her puzzled eyes. My heart is pounding. Because it was a strange answer. Milia immediately answered her question.
“You’re giving a speech in front of a lot of people! “I wanted to try it!”
“How amazing. There is nothing more difficult than speaking in front of people…”
Laperine looked at Milia curiously. Because she was a type of person she had never seen before. I’ve seen a lot of people chatting in front of many people, but aren’t speeches and small talk completely different things?
“Miss Millia is amazing! My body trembles when I think about giving a speech! “I have no idea what to say!”
Olive, who had been listening to the two’s story with interest, suddenly intervened.
“Cheer up!”
“Miss Millia is kind!”
“Hehe.”
Mimosa, who was the only one who did not participate in the conversation, glared at Milia and suddenly spoke.
“… I don’t know if she can become student council president with that kind of mindset.”
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you taking this too lightly? The position of student council president is not a child’s game.”
At her sharp voice, Milia looked at her with puzzled eyes.
“Am I desperate?”
“I think it’s too easy to think about something like that.”
“Hmm, is that so? But I feel less nervous than when I was fighting the Agares Church…”
“…”
“Did we go together?”
“What an incredibly interesting story! Could you please tell me? “I want to hear Lord Quartz’s saga!”
“Of course! But let’s talk somewhere else than here! I know a good cafe! How is everyone’s time?”
“I’m fine.”
“I’m fine too!”
“…I have work to do.”
Mimosa disappeared beyond her even as she turned around.
“I guess I don’t like mimosas…”
Milia said while looking at Mimosa’s back
“There won’t be any contact…I don’t know why.”
Even for Laperine, it was a very strange thing. I don’t know if it’s a bad relationship, but why is there a person with whom I have virtually no contact? Because it’s the theology department?
‘No way…’
La Perine closed her mouth at the assumption that had occurred to her, and after a moment of lost thought, she decided not to speak.
Because it was dangerous to make hasty guesses out loud.
“Don’t worry too much! Because in life, there are people who dislike people for no reason! Haha!”
“I guess so? Then let’s go quickly! “If you go too late, you might not get a seat!”
Laperine and Olive nodded at her request
The two headed to the cafe, following Milia, who took the lead with a brisk walk.
——————–
“…So I cut off Agares’ head!”
“That’s amazing!”
“It’s incredible…”
The two people were amazed by the story of John’s story that Millia told them. Overwhelming the demon and slaughtering it in an instant without even giving it time to respond.
It was a real shame that I couldn’t see it with my own two eyes.
“Hi-Hi. “John is amazing!”
“It is a blessing for the continent that such a person has appeared in this era! “I want to meet you too!”
“Can I ask you something? “Maybe we can meet at least once!”
“It’s tempting! But I won’t!”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because it’s only meaningful if I have the qualifications to meet myself!”
Hearing his words her her her, the two people looked at Olive with impressed eyes. Although he is a bit hot, he is a person worthy of being described as sincere.
“Olive is sincere! I think I’ll do a good job even if I become student council president!”
“Haha, but I’m a bit weak at looking at documents, so I’m not sure if it’ll be okay!”
“If you do something like that, it will increase. “It’s not as difficult as you think.”
La Perrine laid her hand on her heart and noted her experience. Because she had handled simple tasks as the heir to her prestigious family.
“I see!”
“Hehe, La Perrine is amazing!”
The three continued chatting while maintaining a friendly atmosphere.
Without realizing that someone was watching.
