From a results perspective, it’s a great success... But the unexpected part is that I’m also attracting attention. Actually, Masachika seemed to be the one stealing the spotlight now. Not in a negative sense, and in the context of the election campaign, it was still a positive outcome. But still, it was unsettling. Well, the buzz about this morning’s assembly will likely die down soon. Once my explanation from earlier spreads throughout the school, things should start to settle down... But~, such a casual thought turned out to be a mistake. “Hey, did you seriously kick away a firecracker thrown at Kujou-san?” “I didn’t know Kuze-kun was so skilled at the piano. Where did you learn?” “What happened to those troublemakers who crashed the school festival?” “I want to hear about the quiz showdown!” During breaks between classes, there was a constant influx of people coming in, one after another. Envy and admiration only came his way. Because of this, Masachika couldn’t find any time to relax during the breaks. By the time lunch break finally arrived— “Aaahhhh~” Masachika was alone in the student council room, feeling utterly defeated. “Uuuuuhhhh~” He was lying face down on the sofa, writhing and moaning incoherently. It was embarrassing as no matter where he went, he was viewed as a model of dignity and maturity. Taking advantage of being the only person in the room, Masachika reveled in his own misery. Suddenly, he stopped moving and muttered to himself. “...I got carried away.”
