Chapter Twenty-Three: The Election of Three
It is to be expected that Haruki Kitahara will definitely intervene in the executive committee, but the problem lies in his specific position, as the so-called "chairman of the executive committee of the Sato", it stands to reason that his influence should be exerted behind the scenes, and it is a bit surprising that he appears behind the chairman of Joya in a somewhat high-profile manner like this.
Isshiki did not mention this to me, and it was impossible for her, who had made up her mind to cooperate with me, to hide such important information from me, so it is certain that Isshiki had not known that Kitahara might attend this executive committee meeting. Since Isshiki, as a member of the student council, doesn't know the situation, there are only two possibilities.
One is that the senior of the castle patrol, who is the president of the student council, deliberately concealed Kitahara's involvement - but this does not seem to be reasonable, the members of the student council are more or less aware of Kitahara's existence, even if the student council member Haruki Kitahara may join the executive committee temporarily as a new member, it is not an unacceptable thing for other student council members, on the contrary, deliberately concealing information will lead to the dissatisfaction of the student council members. Then the other possibility, that is, Kitahara's accession, was temporary, and President Joya did not anticipate this situation, but in view of his help to the student council, it was not a big deal to agree to allow him to participate in an executive committee meeting.
The question is, what is the purpose of Haruki Kitahara, who attends the executive committee meeting, or even follows the president behind him, attending the meeting like her secretary.
The appearance of such a person who does not seem to be a member of the student council or an ordinary executive committee member has caused a commotion among some of the third-year students who know him, and the third-year executive committee members should have more or less heard of this influential figure in their own grade, although they may not make positive or negative comments about Kitahara's appearance now, but the attention has been generated. This kind of result doesn't seem to be in line with the consistent style of Kitahara's predecessors!
Of course, there are not many members of the second-year and first-year executive committee who don't know Haruki Kitahara, such as Hikiya next to me, and his brows are furrowed.
Then, probably for the first time, he accosted me for the second time in a short period of time: "Hey, that guy on stage, is it the senior who went to the light music club last time?"
"That's right, it's the senior who always makes a senior posture and wants to preach. ”
"Is he also a member of the student council? Why haven't you seen him when you contacted him before?"
"Probably not, he doesn't look like an executive member right now, and to be honest, I don't know what he's doing now?"
"Really?" Bikiya nodded noncommittally, and then sat back in his seat, not knowing what he was thinking.
Of course, for me, after a brief moment of surprise, my purpose will not change, and it would be ridiculous to be distracted by such a seemingly unclear goal of mine, or even affect my own confidence. After all, all I can do now is keep moving forward, and then, the only obstacle on the way to crushing my goal, right?
---------------------------------- dividing line------------------------------------
"Well, then, now, let's start the executive committee meeting of the cultural festival!" the Joya president's voice sounded not very loud, but it still quieted the classroom that had just looked a little noisy.
Generally speaking, girls with short hair give people the impression of being able to do so. But the president of the castle is obviously not this kind of person, as always, he has a very gentle expression, plus some cute hairpins in front of his forehead, and with a neatly dressed school uniform, he gives people a soft and reassuring feeling as a whole.
Even, the sloppiness and inadvertent slip of the tongue in her speech are shaping such an image.
"Hello everyone, I'm uh, the student council Great Wall patrol, as you know, this year's cultural festival and sports festival may be a little special, but I believe that with everyone's efforts, this year's special cultural festival will definitely be able to be done well, well, everyone, then please work together, thank you. ”
After saying this, the chairman also showed a slightly shy smile, which seemed to be a little gentle and made everyone in the conference room smile.
However, she didn't seem to want to introduce Haruki Kitahara, who sat peacefully next to the Joya chair as if he were a normal member of the meeting.
The members of the student council were the first to applaud, and then the room burst into applause. People with different personalities have different ways of mastering the collective, and it is true that a student council president who is strong and can arrange everything in order can make people feel at ease, but this kind of student council president, who makes a harmless mistake from time to time and puts his posture very low from the beginning, is also an object that can make everyone feel warm and does not want to give up.
The low profile before the election of the leader is not the same as the low profile after the election of the leader, and the low profile before the election will only make people distrust you - no one will want to pay attention to a candidate who shouts "I will discuss everything with everyone" all day long, but the low profile after being elected will only make people feel the humility of being a leader and his respect for each individual. And now, President Jodi has achieved this effect very well.
Whether or not others believe in the president's abilities, the idea that "if the president wants everyone to work together, then of course they should work hard" has been quietly planted in everyone's hearts, and at least, even if there is a problem with the work of the cultural festival, the student council president will not simply become the one who is targeted by the public.
"Thank you, then, without further ado, let's start electing the executive chairman, shall we?" said the Joya Chief, squinting his eyes and smiling beautifully.
"Ah, of course, I still have to explain," President Joya continued to explain as if he realized something as if he realized something in the crowd, "yes, it wasn't a big deal for the student council president to be the head of the executive committee, but this year's situation is indeed a bit special. Since the cultural festival project with Cheongsen Middle School is a joint project, I still need to coordinate the cooperation with Cheongsen Middle School, and since I am already in the third grade, I may not be able to cope with some specific projects within our school, so in general, it is better to elect an executive chairperson to take full charge of the internal affairs of the school. ”
I frowned, what President Joya said made a lot of sense, but it seemed to be a little different from what Isshiki said, and if the student council president made overall arrangements for the cooperation with Kiyosen Middle School, then the biggest trump card of Isshiki's election of the chairman of the executive committee, the advantage of being familiar with cooperative projects as a member of the student council, would not be used.
I glanced at Yishi with some suspicion, saw the other person's slightly changed face, and she also saw my eyes, and shook her head at me imperceptibly.
What she meant was that she didn't know anything about it, so what was the problem? I glanced at Haruki Kitahara, who was still sitting peacefully beside the president and not saying a word—could it be that person's influence?
"Well, so," President Joya continued, "although the student council has reservations, if all the executive committee members present here are willing, I wonder who would like to participate in this election of the chairman of the executive committee?"
"The plan to be kept?" I suddenly understood the meaning of Haruki Kitahara's appearance - Chairman of the Executive Committee of Satoyuki, if a special situation arises, do you want to put yourself on the table now?
There was a sound of stumbling discussion in the audience, but no one raised their hands for a while.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of the executive committee members are only elected in the child's play of the class, and they are naturally reluctant to take on the important responsibility of the executive chairman, and people like Isshiki, who were originally interested in it, are now probably digesting the results of the chairman's new executive chairman plan, and they are even hesitating.
"If there's no one—" President Joji glanced at Haruki Kitahara beside him with some hesitation, but I was somewhat glad that her next words were interrupted by Hiratsuka-sensei.
"Hey, everyone, this is a cultural festival, this is an opportunity for you to show your youth to the fullest!
Well, stupid teacher, do you think everyone is so enthusiastic about you, and your enthusiasm is not welcomed even among students, you know?
I didn't see Bikigu's expression, but I'm sure he would be in line with me in response to his remarks.
"By the way, under the snow, how are you? are you interested in becoming the chairman of the executive committee?" Hiratsuka asked as a matter of course, looking at the snow as a matter of course.
"Ah, by the way, if it's under the snow—" The president of the castle also seemed to have high expectations for the snow, and she immediately agreed.
"Tsk, that's it, rightfully pushing a person to the table-" Hikiya grumbled a little and poked my arm, "You see that's how I was added by that hot-blooded stupid teacher." ”
However, I ignored Hikiya's words, because vaguely, as if it was my delusion, I saw Haruki Kitahara next to the chairman smack his lips gently.
Then, as I continued to observe him, his eyes focused on my face for a moment, and then a very gentle and comfortable smile appeared.
On the other hand, in the face of the expectant gazes of Hiratsuka-sensei and the chairman of Joya, Yuki shook his eyebrows and replied in the most polite, but also the coldest, tone, "I'm sorry, but please allow me to participate in this event only as an executive committee member. ”
"Well, Xuexia-san, as the chairman of the executive committee, there are still many benefits, such as-"
"Well, President, I want to sign up!"
"-Uh, if everyone doesn't want to participate, let me try, shall we?"
And at this time, almost at the same time, two voices rang out.
One color feather, and the other one, to my surprise, Sagami Minami, stood up at the same time and said.
Probably not realizing that there would be other competitors, the two of them raised their eyebrows a little quietly when they found each other talking, as if expressing their strong sense of competition.
"That, it's Isshiki-san, right?" Sagami smiled as if he remembered something, and said, "Well, I'm not saying that Ichishiki-san can't elect the chairman of the executive committee, but it's better for an experienced second-year student to do this kind of work, isn't it?"
Wow, was it this kind of merciless speech in the first place? This girl seems to regard Isshiki as a real competitor!
"So what specific experience does Sagami's senior have as executive chairman? I don't think that one more year of school experience necessarily means that Sagami's senior will be better able to take on the task of executive chairman? If you follow this logic of your predecessors, then when you are in the mayoral election, you should directly surrender to the party with rich seniority, is that what you mean?" and on the other hand, Isshiki also changed his usual appearance of being delicate in front of everyone, and retorted mercilessly.
Speaking of which, it seems that Sagami was disgusted by Isshiki during the summer vacation, and suffered a small loss, and now the tension between the two seems to be more or less a continuation of the war in the summer vacation!
"Well, everyone understands what the two of you mean, so let's not fight for now, and it will be better to let everyone vote when the time comes-" The anxious voice of the jo hall president interjected, and the somewhat sudden smell of gunpowder from Sagami and Isshiki caught her off guard, but she still had to reconcile this sudden contradiction.
And Isshiki and Sagami should also know that in this situation, the bigger the conflict, the more they will lose the trust of others, so they will also die down very tacitly.
"Well, since there are two electors all of a sudden, then-"
"—I'm sorry, President, it's three. At this time, a cold voice sounded.
"Under the snow, you weren't-"
"—I'm sorry I changed my opinion, and it's a bit bad to go back on my word, but I can still run now, right?" Yukino stood up under the snow, and glanced at the others around her, her gaze paused slightly on Isshiki's body and mine.
Just as when she entered the door, everyone's breathing paused for a second, and when Xue Nai announced her candidacy under the snow, everyone felt as if time had frozen.
