131 – Candidate Recommendations Carefully #1
“Did you hear that? Former president Mikhail, well—”
“They say you have to pay a huge amount as an additional fine… ?”
Originally, during the final exam period, Ludens was quite solemn.
There are many students studying
But these days, you can hear whispers everywhere you go.
Most of the time, it was the story that the student council president Mikhail and the people who followed him had to pay a certain amount of fine for committing some crime.
A big incident has happened, so everyone must be busy and have a lot to say.
I haven’t seen Victoria, who usually visits the club room to the extent of being annoying, for several days.
The only time we can see his face is when there is a broadcast on the Magic Stone TV.
“Registration of candidates for the election of the new student council president is until next week. For the normalization of Ludens, the Emergency Response Committee promises to put in effort.”
I didn’t know that normally.
Looking at it this way, it was clear that Victoria was quite a celebrity in the academy.
The problem is that there are many people who don’t like Victoria, as it is natural for such a celebrity to have anti-fans.
“The student council president, Orca, is also involved? Victoria is Orca’s younger sister. Can I leave the clean up to that guy? I leave the acorns to the squirrels.”
“I heard Miss Victoria had nothing to do with it? Rather, you are the one who revealed the secret.”
Fans and anti-fans fight fiercely.
The Ludens of today is no different from the Warring States period when the head of ‘Mikhail’ was lost and torn apart.
In that situation, the most likely candidate was Victoria, who was vice president.
And it was Cristina, who was secretary.
Those two will fight tight with me in the election.
It must be a spectacle in its own way to see what promises each other makes and how they respond to each other.
“Now, here is Snowflake Bingsu.”
Self-employed students like me have to work hard to earn money in the special election season.
The male student who received the shaved ice from me handed over a jingling coin and asked.
“Viktor, did you hear that you were going to vote?”
“Who said that?”
“Arnoi in the 8th grade.”
Arnoy guy.
Have you already been talking?
Perhaps “If Viktor becomes the student council president, this Arnoi will be the first nymph to rise to the position of secretary…” ! All of this is to support Arnoi in advance… !”
Even without seeing it, his pattern is already drawn in my head.
I answered appropriately.
“It’s something we don’t know yet.”
Then the male student exclaimed “Hiya” and then added a comment.
“You, the fact that you broke off the marriage with the Arklight family was all for this, right? Orca, you knew he had a bad back and tried to let go.”
similar if similar
Have people already started guessing that far?
Maybe it was natural.
This Ludens, in its own way, only admits those who can shoot a single shot in the mainland.
The entrance exam is also very difficult, so people fail in excellent grades.
Being a student of Ludens can be seen as a measure of skill and wisdom.
Of course, there are some guys like 8th grader Arnoi who think that he entered through the nymph quota system… .
“Anyway, Viktor, tell me if you are going to stand for the candidacy. Me and my friends will write a letter of recommendation for you… !”
“I will think about it.”
I’ll be busy making money for the time being.
Even if you run for fun and aim for rewards from the sub-quest [Election Campaign], you’ll lose about 30 million Rennes as a candidate registration fee.
Now I don’t have the financial power to pretend to take out that amount of money.
* * *
“Victor, are you busy?”
five o’clock in the afternoon.
As I was preparing to close the business, someone found me.
There is only one male student who will find me with this shallow and smirk voice.
“What is it, Daily, a reporter specializing in chirashi?”
“A journalist specializing in chirashi, Viktor, you know how to joke. Does it seem like people change when a spear is stabbed in the stomach?”
I’m not kidding.
“More than that, Viktor, are you busy or not?”
“busy.”
Can’t you see I’m washing the table?
Nike, Ariol, and Imp Pui-Poi all went to prepare for final exams, so I went into business by myself.
For reference, Arnoi said, “This Arnoy is helping to clean up the mess… !” and walked away, but I sent it back.
It’s not when Arnoy helps with club activities, it’s when he studies.
You’re not supposed to be graduating this year without failing.
“Can I help you?”
Daley raised his glasses and made an interesting suggestion.
do you help
There must be something up.
However, I nodded my head because there was a lot of work to organize alone.
“Anyway.”
After the two men wiped the table, sorted the collection, and moved all the heavy luggage containing the ingredients, the cleanup was over sooner than expected.
The tidying I was thinking of until 6:00 PM ended at 5:30 PM, so I saved 30 minutes.
Of course I’ll have to use the 30 minutes I save for this daily guy.
“So, what’s the matter, Daily?”
“Friends can come to visit without business.”
“A friend.”
“Well, it has a strong sense of mutually helping partners. Anyway, Viktor, thanks to the internal data you gave me, it has been confirmed that I will be promoted to club manager next year.”
Five.
that’s something to celebrate
“Dailyra, the head of the newspaper department. You have succeeded.”
“That’s how it is. In that sense, I came to ask for some reciprocation and opinions. Have you heard how Mikhail and his gang are being dealt with?”
no.
I don’t know the details of the situation.
I just heard the story on TV.
As if feeling that my non-answering was a kind of answer, Daly began to tell me something he hadn’t even asked.
“Current clubs are being searched extensively. There were a bunch of guys who got suspiciously large grants from Mikhail and former student council president Orca.”
“is it.”
So the atmosphere was messy for a final exam.
Daley’s words were not over.
After looking around, the guy said, shining the lenses of his glasses strangely.
“Here is a really surprising story. Do you know who was involved with the club that was so supported?”
Who are you?
“It must be Pimblebert.”
At my simple answer, Daley gave a rather surprised look.
Then, after fixing his glasses, he raises the corner of his mouth with a serious expression.
“Indeed, Victor. He’s a man I admit. After all, you knew everything, right? As you said. The clubs were being used as money launderers for the outlaw Fimblebert.”
It was a story that would make students angry.
Renee and the tuition money they worked hard for flowed into an illegal organization and eventually came back as a knife targeting students.
Actually, I got that blade right in my stomach.
Should it be the end of the window?
“But, thanks to all of you Viktor, everyone is being hunted out now. Hey, this is going to be a great article. How about the president’s sword aimed at the president—?”
“Don’t publish my story arbitrarily.”
“Why, your story is one of the best-selling articles right now? Let’s ask Kim who spoke. Is this why you broke off your engagement with Miss Victoria? To get away from the Arkwright family.”
Do you ask this guy too?
Before I had time to respond, he started talking about his own thoughts.
“I honestly couldn’t believe it when rumors spread that you were having an affair. Didn’t you, by any chance, forcefully create a distance to break off the marriage in order to protect Miss Victoria’s honor?”
If it was similar, it was similar.
However, since I was not obligated to answer, I decided to be silent while enduring moderate discomfort.
Of course, Daley didn’t want my answer, so he jotted down something in his old notebook. And then one last question.
“Then will you also support Miss Victoria in this election? There will be several candidates, but it will probably be the Yanggang-gu of Miss Victoria and Miss Christina.”
“I guess so.”
“Victor, you may not be interested in these things, but your influence is greater than you think. The candidate you support is more likely to win.”
That’s an exaggeration.
I knew very well that I didn’t have that kind of influence at this academy.
If I had that kind of influence, I should have already paid off all my debts and escaped.
The number of guests is also increasing exponentially.
Of course, the number of customers is increasing day by day.
but.
While this guy came to visit, I thought it would be good to say this one thing in advance.
“Daily, I am running for this election. I want to collect recommenders, but if I write an article, I’ll probably get a lot more.”
“candidacy… !”
Daley looked startled.
Then, after muttering to himself, “Really, you’re saying you’re going to step forward without supporting anyone?”
“I’m sorry, but I’ll step aside first. Because now doesn’t seem like the time to be like this… !”
The guy who came looking for me on his own just left like that.
It must have been an hour or so since he left.
“In addition, in addition, in addition, hoaeaeaeae… !”
“Hoenoi, give me a newspaper.”
“Hohehehe, it’s 5,000 Renae… !
I bought a newspaper from a strange nymph I’m not used to.
There were these articles written in large letters.
「Former executive member Viktor announces running for election… !”
“Cutting down the student council president and aiming for the ‘peak’—.”
Are you aiming for the peak?
What I’m aiming for is the [candidate plaque].
It seems that this misleading article came about because Daily left before I could even say that goal.
Daily This guy is, of course, a reporter specializing in chirashi.
But the effect of the article seemed certain.
“Victor, I will cheer for you… !”
“I was a bit like both Victoria and Cristina… !”
On the way back from shopping for ingredients to be sold the next day, the students pretended to know me.
Originally, “Geek, Viktor… !”, but the reactions are favorable.
Has your reputation gone up a bit in the past few days?
“Look, look, Viktor is eating fish cakes at the market… !”
“… It’s very commonplace! Yes, there must be one commoner candidate!”
However, it was a bit annoying to even gossip about eating fish cakes.
I think it’s better when I have a low reputation because I feel more free.
But.
A real annoying problem happened that night.
thump-.
Someone knocked on the door of the club room, so I finished brushing my teeth and checked the visitor.
The girl was Victorica with shiny silver hair.
“What’s going on with this while you’re busy?”
“Victor, you. Is this article real? I am running for… !?”
Palak.
Victoria opened the newspaper and looked at me.
The boy immediately trembled.
“You said you would make me the student council president… ! Eh, what’s going on with this?”
“You seem excited. come inside at once I was having a cup of iced tea just in time.”
Since it’s summer soon, shouldn’t we sell peach iced tea?
