“Yes? Is the president engaged?”
I opened my eyes involuntarily at the shocking news I heard from the vice president.
“Yes. My fiancee is Saida Fujiwara, who is the second son of the Fujiwara clan from the same family and is being hailed as the next successor to the Fujiwara group.”
Fujiwara Group.
I’ve heard of it.
In Japan, it is one of the largest companies in the top three in terms of heavy industry.
At least, he was a much better match for the president as a lover than for ordinary people like me.
“The young lady didn’t like meeting him, but surprisingly, the other side liked her. So the story of the engagement came out.”
I listened quietly to what he had to say and asked what I had a question about.
“But, is the engagement going like that, like roasting beans over a lightning bolt?”
Then the vice president shook his head.
“I can’t. Rather, a case like this one would be quite special.
It looks like it was pretty much liked.
“……”
I hesitated for a moment and then asked.
“Why do you have to tell me this?”
Then the vice president hardened his expression.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“To be honest, I thought the vice president was the one who really hated getting involved with the president.”
It’s because I didn’t like the kindness the president sent me.
However, contrary to this expectation, the vice-president was angry with a blood stick in his neck.
“You idiot!”
“Ugh.”
I momentarily shrugged at the sound of the vice president’s voice echoing through the narrow room.
Either way, the vice president grabbed me by the collar and growled.
“It’s true that I personally hate you. It’s because I didn’t want the girl I’ve been with since I was little, having a hard time falling in love with a guy like you. But that’s it and this is it. I’ll do anything for her happiness. . Even if it’s against my will.”
It was the first time I saw your eyes.
Eyes that only those who risk their lives for someone can do it.
I realized that the vice president was thinking a lot about the president.
No, I think it was from the beginning.
Because his eyes were always chasing the president’s shadow.
I asked, closing my eyes and opening them.
“Are you telling me to stop the president’s engagement ceremony?”
Then the vice president said in a brazen manner.
“I never said that.”
“That’s what it sounds like. Now.”
It seems like he is trying to get someone else to do it because he can’t do it from his point of view, but to be honest, it seemed a bit like Nolbu.
Anyway,
“The president doesn’t know, right?”
Then the vice president pushed up his glasses and answered.
“That’s right. Everything is my own opinion. Minami would never have imagined that I would even do something like this.”
“It’s a bummer.”
“…that’s not what you’re talking about.”
“I’m still considered a model student in school.”
The reason why events and accidents do not stop is because of the events in the original story.
“Anyway, the only person I can trust for now is you. I can’t stop the engagement of the young lady alone.”
“I understand, so let’s share the information first. Whatever you need to know, you can block it or not.”
“…Yes. Thank you.”
Why is this guy like this before?
The vice president, who had said something he would not normally have said, sat down in front of the computer and opened a file in which something was organized.
“This is a map of the place where the young lady’s engagement will be held in two weeks.”
Sitting behind the vice president’s back due to the small space, I began to listen to detailed explanations while looking at the screen over my shoulder.

Educational Travel.
From a student’s point of view, even just hearing the name is a very exciting word.
Probably because I usually live in a confined space like school, so I dream of escaping for a while.
In the third year, there is an atmosphere where you can’t play at all because of studying for the entrance exam in earnest.
In a way, for Japanese high school students, isn’t the second semester of their sophomore year the most brilliant period of their youth?
“Ryu-chan!”
“Hello. Rika.”
The day of the school trip.
We gathered in front of the school yard just like the last time we went to the forest school.
Of course, this time, to the last, to make it easier to check people and travel long distances, they had gathered in one place.
You can’t go from Tokyo to Kyoto by bus.
“Are you all here?”
“”yes~””
To the cry of Matsuda, the class teacher and head of the school year, the sophomores gathered at the playground answered all at once.
“I know that everyone is excited because it’s a school trip, but I hope that during the 3 nights and 4 days period, no one gets hurt and goes safely! If anything happens, report the emergency contact network and contact any of the teachers!”
As in the last time, Matsuda emphasized safety and immediately ordered to board the tour bus.
We were going to take a bus from school to the train station together, and then take the Shinkansen to Kyoto.
Rika said as if she was having fun as she got on the bus with the others.
“School trip, it must be fun, right?”
“That’s right. I’m looking forward to it.”
Sasha, who was riding next, said.
“Karen, I’m going to cry because I’m in another class this time too, so I’m going to play alone.”
Then Rika scratched her cheek with an ambiguous expression.
“Ahaha…”
To be honest, I don’t think it can be helped that the class is different.
Wasn’t it because Karen’s popularity ranking was low in the original work because of the ambiguous weight it has now?
If it’s a harem-type love comedy, there’s always going to be one heroine who inevitably turns into air.
“By the way, Rika, how’s the number of people in your group?”
“Oh, me and the class president, and Sasha-chan…”
“Hello! Hello!”
It was Hattori, a recently transferred student, who suddenly interrupted the conversation and put her arms around Rika and Sasha.
“Here, Ayameya.”
“Hehe~ Do you want me to take care of you both for 3 nights and 4 days?”
Like a typical insa-type character, Ayame looked at the two of them alternately and spoke in a stern tone.
Anyone who sees it would know that we have been friends for 10 years.
Although Rika had a troubled expression on her face, it didn’t seem too bad for Ayame to stick with her.
Probably because Rika also likes to date people.
I looked at the three of them with joy, then listened to Matsuda-sensei’s voice telling me to take a seat because I was leaving soon, so I sat down.
Because of my size, the back seat of the bus was my fixed seat as always.
Zora like me, Satoru sitting next to me murmured.
“Because of that, something looks like the final boss of a school violence…”
“Is that right?”
This guy has a precious feat of sitting and earning a hawk.

We took the bus for about 20 minutes to the nearest train station to the school, and there we waited for the Shinkansen to arrive.
Actually, this is my second time taking the Shinkansen.
After possessing this body, there was nothing special about going anywhere.
Of course I rode the Mugunghwa and KTX, but the Shinkansen feels a little different.

Maybe it was because they were leaving early in the morning, but the train station was full of people waiting to get on the Shinkansen.
Fortunately, the car we boarded is almost entirely reserved because only the students of our school ride.
It was a huge advantage in itself to be able to go without noticing other passengers and chatting to their heart’s content.
It takes quite a while to get from Tokyo to Kyoto, because it would be quite stressful if you pay attention to other people’s opinions and have a conversation.
“Everyone, please stand in order~! Outside of school, we should know that we are the face of the school~!”
From https://noblemtl.com
Meanwhile, Mizuki Ms. Mizuki, the burden of our class, was working hard to lead the students who didn’t listen.
Well, please suffer.
I muttered to myself, and checked the messenger on my smartphone.
9:27 am.
Soon, a train bound for Kyoto will enter the platform.
The three minutes or so was an ambiguous time to even go to the bathroom, but there were definitely things that could be done using this chaotic time.
It was just choosing the ekiben.
‘… What kind of lunch box should I eat today?’
I woke up to the ekiben with the lunch box I ate while going to Mt. Fuji with Meiling during summer vacation, and I pondered for a long time to find the best lunch box to satisfy my hungry stomach.

“I’m here to see you again. Saionji-san.”
“…you are a very persistent person.”
“Because that Fujiwara Sai is a man who never gives up.”
Saying that, Kumiko, who was looking at the gray-haired nobleman with a confident look with a pitiful look, sighed and asked.
“I still can’t read your inner feelings. That’s why I don’t understand it even more. Why did you say you’re getting engaged to me? There must be many, many better women in the world than me.”
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. The standard of a good woman varies from person to person. And I’ve never met a woman who’s better than Saionji-san by my standards.”
“…that’s shameless.”
“We’re going to become fiances in two days, so why don’t we open up our hearts a little? Ms. Saionji.”
But Kumiko did not answer his question.
Because silence was the greatest resistance she could make.
Fujiwara Sai, who was staring at Kumiko with a smile as if she was adorable, even turned her back on her.
“Then I’ll see you at the wedding next time.”
Chunkyung!
After he closed the door to the president’s room and left, Kumiko clenched her skirt and muttered to herself.
‘Sorry. Yooseong-kun.’
