The student council was an organization established to promote voluntary activities by students.
For example, it adjusted and presented requests from students to the school through the student assembly, and liaised and coordinated with clubs and circles.
In cases of major events in school life, such as school festivals and welcoming and sending-off periods for new students and graduates, an executive committee would be formed, but as a whole, the student council would provide them with support.
Incidentally, the school life orientation held on the second day after Yuu entered the school was an event mainly organized by the student council.
She must have gotten used to giving this kind of explanation.
Sayaka's manner of speaking was easy to understand, like flowing water.
The fact that it was not so far from the image of the student council Yuu had in his mind was also helpful in understanding what she said.
「Do you get the general idea of it?」
「Yes, I suppose I do.」
「Then, umm, have you become interested in the student council?」
As usual, Sayaka started at Yuu with sparkling eyes full of anticipation.
Being stared at like that by her, Yuu felt complicated inside, a mixture of embarrassment and happiness, and as it was the first time he had felt that way since he was reborn into this body, he was seized by confusion.
When it came to cute girls of beautiful women, he had seen many of them in the past month or so.
And without exception, they looked at Yuu favorably.
Rather than simply because men were precious existences in this world, it could be said that it was mainly due to his outstanding looks.
However, Sayaka in front of him was treating Yuu in a normal way.
Just by looking at such her, Yuu could tell that his heart was pounding faster.
「It has only been a week since he entered the school, so if you suddenly ask him about such a thing, I doubt he would have an answer for it, don't you think?」
「Hmm. I see. That might be so. My apologies.」
Sayaka had no choice but to nod at the words of Riko, the vice president.
Feeling ashamed of herself, Sayaka bowed her head lightly.
A president who seemed levelheaded but was overflowing with zeal and tended to run wild, and a vice president who supported her, they seemed to be a good duo.
Yuu tried to cool down his feelings, taking a deep breath and then exhaling it.
「I have a few questions.」
「Yes. Please feel free to ask me anything.」
「Yes. In that case, Does the student council of this school consist of you three only?」
「「Ah.」」
Riko and Eimi looked at each other awkwardly.
Sayaka alone was calm as she answered his question.
「There are five seats in the student council. In fact, when I was elected at the end of September last year, beside me, the president, the vice president seats were occupied by Riko over here and one more person. Moreover, we have been having Eimi fill this role since April, but we had a dedicated treasurer, too…. However, there are some circumstances, you see. So the seats are vacant right now.」
「I see.」
A lot of things must have happened. It was not like he had decided to join them, so Yuu refrained from going into it too deeply.
「Then, one more question. Why did you try to recruit me, someone who has just entered the school? I have a vague idea that you probably need the cooperation of the boys, but in that case, I have a feeling that a second- or third-year boy would be more helpful.」
「Ah, that, huh.」
Sayaka nodded in understanding.
「Let's talk about this in an orderly fashion. To begin with, it is related to how end up having two vacant seats, after all.」
Sayaka took a cup of her own café au lait and quenched her thirst.
Seeing that, Yuu, Riko and Eimi also drank the rest of their carton packed drinks.
「As this is a co-ed school, you see, the ideal would be there to be boys in the student council as well. Until December, there was a boy in my grade who became vice president after I personally invited him, not through an election. He was very sociable for a boy, on top of that he also excelled academically and was kind to everyone, so there were a lot of girls who yearned for him.」
「Moreover, he was good-looking, right?」
「Yeah, yeah.」
Seeing the three of them float a smile as they recalled a boy who was not there, Yuu was surprised to find himself ending up harboring a faint jealousy.
The story continued.
「Among those who ended up seriously falling for him while being in close contact with him, there was this girl who served as treasurer in the student council. It was good that she managed to achieve her desire at the Christmas party hosted by the school in December. However, there were many rivals who had their eyes on him. There might have been even girls who had actually formed relationships with him. 」
「That impatience must have been part of the cause. The treasurer girl was the daughter of the president of a considerably big company, you see. She invited the boy to her house during the winter break, created fait accompli, and ended up put him under house arrest as it was.」
「Huh?」
「However, there is no way for such a plundery-like love to go well. Naturally, there were objections from the boy's guardians. Eventually, when the matter was about to escalate into a lawsuit, her parents, who were concerned about their reputation, relented. And as a result, the sweet life ended after a week or so.」
「Ooh.」
「In the end, the boy who had served as our vice president ended up transferring to a boys' high school in the third semester. The treasurer girl was suspended until the end of the school year. Though, since she had good grades, she did not repeat a year, but she, too, ended up quitting the student council.」
All Yuu could say was: what a terrifying financial power-powered predatory girl, or rather, bondage-ish girl.
And the one who had to take the brunt of this was the student council, i.e., Sayaka and the others.
