Campaigning For The New Student Council.
Today is the day that Hikari's reign finished as a student council president, and it's the day that, a new Student Council will lead, so a few participants will campaign to run to be the New Student Council President or Members.
And so, all the student who have merits, finally show their arrogant side.
I was walking to the school ground, and yes, a few students were campaigning a speech, and giving out some flyers.
I was walking suddenly one of the participant assistants gave me a flyer.
"Vote Kaguya-san!" And so, she smiled at me.
Therefore I continued walking, and read the flyers.
-Better Leader, Better Responsibility, Better Established.-
Suddenly, outside our classroom, a member of the journalism club looking for someone.
I walked passed them, and so Hikari still not there. Therefore I sit on my chair.
A few minutes later, the student outside of our class become noisy, and all I know was that Hikari had been interviewed by the journalist club.
Therefore Hikari is inside the classroom and sighs.
And so, she walked and sat on her chair beside me. And she sighs.
And I said to her. "Looks tough every time there's a campaign for a new Student Council."
"Yeah pretty much, this happened before in my first year. I don't want to be a president, but a lot of people idolized me, and they are the ones who gave me the reason to run." She said.
"So now, will you run?" I asked her.
"Maybe, because I heard the other student who will run are famous. And looks like they have already gained a lot of support." She said to me.
And so I asked her. "Do you want to run again?"
She nodded at me. "Well, I don't know if I will win this time."
I said to her. "Then, let me help you with your campaign and speech, all you need to do is face your supporter, and leave all the speech to me. I will make them and I just gave it to you to read it."
And so she was shocked about what I have just said. "R-Really, then let's do our best. I will follow your lead! Asahi-kun"
And yet again, her aura sparkling.
キタ~キタ~(Kita Kita)
And yet, I remembered the quotes of Albert Camus.
"Don't walk in front of me… I may not follow. Don't walk behind me… I may not lead. Walk beside me… just be my friend." I said to her.
Hikari was shocked about what I have just said. "Wow, Asahi-kun I didn't know you were a linguistic kind of guy."
Well, thanks to my idol Albert Camus.
And so, the news spread Hikari will re-running again, but a lot of the students said, it will be hard for Hikari to win because a lot of factions have formed, not the time when Hikari first ran, she is the one have a faction, or I think two or three factions that formed that day.
After I heard that, I realized, this will be hard to win. For example, they all have equal supporters, which means we must convince the neutral, but if there's no one, then we will convince the other student in different functions. But Hikari said she want to win, then we must convince the neutral and some of the students in different functions.
And so, I finally come up with a good speech for Hikari's first campaign today.
Therefore all the students are inside the court watching the speech of the participant for the next president.
And five of them in the stage, and Hikari is there too. Right now I am watching Hikari from the crowds, I know Hikari will nail this one, I know she has the speech that I gave to her this morning. Or maybe she already memorizes it, so she will never look at the paper.
Therefore, the first participant have begun her speech, it took a few minutes, and so it continued till it reach Kaguya.
Kaguya walked to the front and stand in front of the mic.
"Everyone, I know you know me. So, I will not introduce myself." And so, Kaguya explains her point, about running, and it's a normal explanation.
And so, Hikari turned now.
Therefore, she walked into the front and stand in front of the mic.
She tapped the mic and made a noise that will catch your attention.
And so, beside me some Hikari supporters said. "It has begun."
Hikari didn't read the speech that I made for her, but she memorized it in a short time, well my speech is not that kind of long.
"Ehem, My name is Hikari Matsuri, the only thing I will say to all of you. That I will not promise anything to all of you, but I will guarantee all of you will enjoy and learn at the same time.
Let me only tell you, in a spirit of gratitude and friendship, as simply as I can, what this idea is.
Myself, I cannot live without my passion. But I have never placed it above everything. If, on the other hand, I need it, it is because I cannot be separated from my fellow student, and it allows me to live, as I am, on one level with them. It is a means of stirring the greatest number of people by offering them a privileged picture of common joys and sufferings."
And so, Hikari has finished her speech. And a lot of the students applauses her, and she even convinced the teachers, but some still believed in the person they want.
Therefore, my plan of convincing the whole student has succeeded but not all of them.
The event ended. And so, all the students get back to our classroom.
And so, Hikari has been surrounded by our classmates, beside me, they complimented Hikari for the speech.
I ignored it, and after this, the class continued the lecture.
Hours passed the school, is done for now, so I was called by Inasuke-sensei, therefore she just mentioned me, and compliment me about the speech, I gave Hikari.
And so, after that, I leave, the teaching faculty, as I was walking in the corridor, I saw a bunch of groups of girls, and Kaguya is with them.
Suddenly they approached me, and Kaguya said to me. "So, your Asahi, Hikari-san assistant."
I replied to her. "And? Do you need something?"
She said to me. "Nothing."
And so, I walked passed them.
Days passed after the speech, and rumors spread, about Hikari, that her assistant and she have a relationship.
Therefore, the last day of the campaign, and tomorrow is the day of voting.
And so, the ambiance of the Basketball Court is different than the previous day, is it because of the rumors, now some of the students that Hikari convinced the other day switched to Kaguya, and so. Kaguya leading the voting rates.
And I just realized I forget to give the speech to Hikari.
The speech has begun, and with the same rhythm previous campaign speech, Hikari is last.
And so, it continued, until it reached Kaguya.
"I know you all heard the rumors, but are you willing to follow, a student council, who's immoral? No right? As the future student council president, it will be a great idea for all the students here." Kaguya's speech is aggressive towards Hikari.
And so, students applauded Kaguya.
Therefore Hikari turned, I don't know how will she pull this together, without a speech that I made.
And so, she walked into the front of the stage facing us, and she tapped the mic again.
"I know you all heard of the rumors, about me, and the person who is helping me. I denied that the rumors as fake. As the person who helps me said. 'Don't walk in front of me… I may not follow Don't walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend.' And so, this type of guy is not interested in relationships, but in friendship. I am not against relationships, because relationships might help us understand what real genuine love was looking for, we failed and we learn, and so till we found the right person. I will say it again, the rumors are fake. Me and that person, are just best friends that's all."
The court went silent for a sec, and so, they all applauded and stand up from the chair they sat
Therefore, I applauded too.
Suddenly the supporters of Hikari shouted in the crowd. "Hikari-san for president!!!"
And so, the campaign finished, and like always we headed back to our classroom.
They all complimented Hikari again, and yet I ignored it.
A day passed, Hikari win the position, and so, Hikari asked me, and Kaeda, and Sistine, and Shiina, to celebrate it.
After school, we all headed to the café, I went with Shizuki, but they didn't know it.
And so, we celebrated...
A few minutes have passed, and e call it a day. We walked together and separated at the end.
As I was walking alone to head back to my apartment, I what I learned today, experienced.
To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one person, you know. Is that really true?
