Chapter 95 – Election War

Episode 95 – Election War

[Then, candidate Isis Friuli, please come up on stage.]

After the turbulent kidnapping incident, Isis was finally elected to the position of student council president.

She went up to the stage proudly.

She was restless, and I wondered where the person who worried about me had gone. Currently, Isis was very dependable, strong, and beautiful.

She received the ceremony to be elected student president by her dean and then took the microphone.

[Ah, ah everyone. Nice to meet you. My name is Isis Friuli, and I am assuming the position of student council president as of today.]

The speech was simple and impactful.

Tempo control that allows the listener to go through various parts flawlessly and not get bored.

Her magical voice focused people’s attention and comforted their ears.

‘Anyway, what should I do with this?’

After she returned to the Academy, she talked to Abel, who came to visit her, and was able to figure out that the events related to her vote manipulation did not occur.

This means that Abel’s opportunity to become closer to Isis has disappeared.

Maybe this is my fault.

‘My relationship with Isis has become so good.’

In the game, Isis and I don’t get along so well that she wouldn’t have felt the need to kidnap her, but not now.

Remian was confident that if she used me, she would be able to wield Isis.

That’s why, when I cursed at Isis, she realized in a hurry that she had misjudged and came running in a to get my information.

Anyway, what I want to say is that the present is very different from what we used to know.

Is there really a need to act like a fool now?

Anyway, most of the possessed people seem to have figured out their identity by this point, and more than anything, their power has improved a lot by absorbing the Phoenix egg, so I don’t think I need to worry about being killed.〈 Br〉

Of course, to say that she cared was not without a sense of arbitrariness, but it is true that she at least noticed.

After thinking for a moment, I shook my head at the answer that I couldn’t easily come up with.

‘Er, I don’t know.’

I already have a lot to think about, but I didn’t want to waste my time on this.

Just act the way you want at that time.

In the first place, there is no guarantee that I can change my reputation right away if I want.

At the same time as the conclusion was roughly drawn, Isis’ speech also came to an end.

[Then, we will do our best to meet your expectations in the future. Thank you very much.]

─Wow!

Clap clap clap clap clap!

The sound of applause and loud cheering hits your ears.

Afterwards, the dean appeared and ordered the students to disperse, and all students began to leave the main auditorium in perfect order, led by the professors.

In that situation, Abel and his group approached me through the crowd.

“Luan, let’s go!”

“What. Suddenly. “I can go alone?”

“But you never know! Let’s go together.”

Since I was kidnapped, I guess they are worried that I might get caught up in the crowd and get hurt.

I was grateful for his feelings, but I wasn’t very happy about the boy’s worries about him.

“That’s right. Luan! “I can’t spend it alone!”

“Okay? Then, let me ask you a favor.”

“… “It’s too much discrimination.”

I readily agreed to Deborah’s her words her hers, joining in behind her hers, and stood close to her.

Abel’s disappointed voice pierced my ears, but I gently brushed it off and left the main auditorium together.

Meanwhile, I happened to spot Isis and the Crown Prince walking side by side.

‘Where are you two going?’

Judging from the fact that Isis’ expression her is not particularly bright, it does not seem to be a light matter.

I was a little curious, but I guessed that it would be a problem related to the succession to the student council president position, so I headed to the classroom with my group.

“What business do you have?”

As soon as Isis arrived at the student council room, he got straight to the point.

The crown prince paused, then stood in front of the window and spoke.

“It’s about Remian. The student was successfully expelled. “Now, I will leave for the imperial palace tomorrow morning.”

“Okay. Is that all you have to say?”

Isis blatantly avoided the crown prince.

The crown prince was ready to leave as soon as permission was given, so he turned his head and stared at Isis.

Red eyes filled with all kinds of emotions and silver eyes armed with the strength of an iron wall clashed violently in the air.

“Lady Isis. “Aren’t you planning on accepting the offer I made before?”

“… That conversation is probably over already. Above all else, should we do that today? Lady Remian will be sad.”

“What Remian did was not normal. It was something that could end the lineage of a marquis. “It’s enough to disqualify her as crown princess.”

“… Sorry. “I refuse.”

Exactly one year ago from now.

When she was elected as her vice-student president, the Crown Prince made this suggestion:

How about becoming the Crown Princess?

I fell in love with her from the moment I first saw her, she said she couldn’t do anything but you, so she asked me to be with her for the rest of my life.

And Isis, who received her offer, flatly refused without any difference from the present.

“What is the reason? At that time, she said she had no intention of getting married yet. Is that still the case? You will also be a third year student next year. Usually, noble ladies get married as soon as they graduate. In the past, I thought it was because you had to take responsibility for your family. But not now. Prince Luan was reborn. There will be no worries if you leave it to the marquis.”

The parties were not the only ones who welcomed the improvement in the relationship between Luan and Isis.

Despite the crown prince’s appeal, Isis shook her head.

“No. “I have to take responsibility for my family.”

“Why is that so?”

“… Because Luan said she was not interested in being the head of the family. He doesn’t want to waste his time trapped in the barren North. So, I must take over as head of the family.”

“That… ! Isn’t that selfish too? “You sacrifice your sister just because you don’t like it!”

The one who was selfish was the crown prince himself.

Even though it was an agreement between her parties, she was selling Luan purely to achieve her own love her.

It was the crown prince’s failure to not know that such actions actually made Isis angry.

“No matter what you say, it’s useless. I have to carry on the whole family, so I have to bring in a son-in-law. Isn’t it impossible for His Highness the Crown Prince? So you’d better forget about me and focus on Remian. “Okay then.”

Isis turned her back without answering.

It was indeed a great act of disloyalty, but Isis’s sincerity was that she did not want to have any more words with someone who dishonored her beloved brother her.

The crown prince quickly caught her.

“For a moment! Stand there! “I have one last question.”

“What is it?”

“… “Is there a separate man you admire?”

“Yes?”

“I’m saying that the reason you reject me is simply because of my family. “Is it because there is a man I love separately that I push him away so cruelly?”

“…”

The moment she heard those words, Luan’s face appeared in Isis’ mind.

I don’t know why.

It just happened naturally.

That was a shock to Isis as well.

‘What on earth was I thinking… ? .’

Why did her younger brother’s face come to mind when she asked about the man she loved?

This is crazy.

As Isis was embarrassed and denying her feelings her, the crown prince, who read her thoughts her through her expression her, muttered heavily.

“There it is.”

“Yes?”

“It was about having a man I loved. That’s why you rejected me.”

“Oh, no. It’s not like that…”

“There is no use in denying it. Thanks to you, I understand. There was no hope for me. “Can you tell me who that person is?”

“…”

Isis was silent.

There were some things I couldn’t reveal, but more than that, I was afraid that the Crown Prince might retaliate.

The crown prince laughed bitterly.

“Are you saying you can’t tell me? I’m jealous. The one you value so much. … “Then I’ll go first.”

Finally, after compiling his thoughts, the Crown Prince walked past Isis and left the student council room.

Isis, left alone, placed her hand on his heart.

Exciting! Exciting!

My heart is beating violently. What direction is this beat facing? Isis somehow felt like she knew.

When she tries to realize her own feelings.

Knock.

-Isis. Can I come in?

Along with the knock, Regina’s voice brought Isis back to reality.

“Come in!”

It may not have happened, but she was anxious that her feelings might be revealed, and when she allowed it, her door opened and Regina appeared.

She glanced behind her and asked.

“What did you talk about?”

“Yes?”

“You were with your brother.”

“That…”

As I hesitated, wondering if I could talk about the Crown Princess indiscriminately, Regina looked strangely anxious.

“You’re not talking about you becoming the crown princess, are you?”

“Yes?”

“Remian told me the other day. My brother loves you. If it’s just the two of us, there’s only so much we can talk about, right? There is no problem even if Remian has an accident and deprives her of her title as crown princess.”

As expected, the siblings seem to be brother and sister.

Regina was equipped with a thinking circuit similar to that of her brother.

Isis laughed softly.

“He made that offer, but I declined it.”

“You refused?”

“Yes. Because I have to carry on the whole family.”

“Really? In the past, you said you were not interested in being the head of a family.”

“Actually, I talked to Luan about becoming the head of the family during summer vacation. But Lu An says he doesn’t want to be the head of the family. He doesn’t want to waste his time trapped in the barren North.”

“Okay? What… Then there is nothing we can do.”

Regina let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the worst she feared had not happened.

Isis just tilted her head.

“Anyway, then let’s go back to class quickly. “Even though she’s the student council president, she can’t be late for class?”

“Of course. Let’s go quickly.”

The two quickly left the student council president’s office.

Crash!

With the sound of the door closing, the student council president’s office fell into silence.

As if nothing had happened.

*

A few days later, the season against the opposing team finally arrived.

I was staring out the window blankly.

Men dressed as repairmen are walking to and from the entrance of the tall clock tower, carrying huge boxes.

Looking at the dust rising up every time the box is unloaded, it seems like it’s quite heavy, but I can’t tell what’s in it.

Just then, a repairman put up a no trespassing sign.

‘What? Is my watch broken?’

As I was wasting my brain capacity on something useless, Sarah slammed the lectern to make everyone concentrate.

“Everyone pay attention! You know there’s a semi-final next week, right? Each student must choose one major subject. Please consult well. “First of all, it’s obstacle running.”

Although it is said to be an anti-war competition, it is actually not much different from the sports day held on Earth.

The only difference is that the obstacle is so great that it can never be overcome with normal physical ability.

For example, if there is a jumping frame that is 1m long on Earth, here it is stretched to about 10m.

Of course, since wizards could never do it, there were several separate events in which only martial arts and magic classes could participate.

Anyway, I don’t really need any attention, so I’ll just participate in some unpopular sports.

The problem is that the world won’t leave me alone.

“Now, the next one is a two-person three-way match. “There is one man and one woman. Who will participate?”

Usually, couples participate in the 2-person triangulation.

And coincidentally, there is not a single couple in class 3 right now. To be exact, there are no couples in the same class. It is said that the one that did exist broke up some time ago.

So in the end, the two-person trio is supposed to receive recommendations…

“Okay. Luzia. Who would you recommend?”

“I’m Deborah and Luan!”

“Agree!”

“Me too!” It’s okay since you two are dating anyway!”

My classmates, probably still believe those damn rumors, tried to send me and Deborah into a three-way match.

‘Oh, fuck.’

I just left it alone because it was annoying, but it seems like misunderstandings are getting worse.

Deborah was embarrassed and looked away.

“Ah, ah! Hey guys. Calm down. We are not in a relationship like that!”

“Why not! Was it you last week? “The kids saw me going on a date with Luan over the weekend!”

“Yes? “Date?”

“Okay! They say they went out on Saturday and came back on Sunday afternoon? Even if it’s like this, are you going to say no?”

“Uh, that’s…”

I didn’t realize it at the time because I was so focused on conquering the dungeon, but it seems like there were friends who saw us leaving together.

This is really fucked up.

“Luan. What should you do? “You don’t like it?”

“It’s annoying.”

“Then Deborah is the only one leaving? Is it okay if I participate with another boy?”

Luzia said that it was already a foregone conclusion that Deborah would participate.

I imagined that.

‘I feel dirty.’

I’m not really dating Deborah, but it still doesn’t feel good to think of her clinging to another man and whining.

I don’t really care about rumors anyway, so should I just participate?

‘In the end, one has to participate.’

When I look at the kids now, it seems like they don’t care about results, so I don’t have to work hard.

I am done with my worries.

“Do whatever you want. Because I don’t care.”

“Really? Oh yeah! Deborah, did you hear that too? Are you two participating?”

“I, I, I… ” .”

“Are you doing it? Got it? Huh?”

“… Ah, okay.”

“Good! Then decide!”

This is how I got to participate in the two-person triangular match with Deborah.
