Chapter 32.2 - Recruitment Period and Strange Group [5] – part 2 (2/2)

「Ara, you guys are from the practice-swing club…?」

「Aaー, what was their name… I forgot.」

「They are Ria-Vesteria and Rose-Valencia… They’re quite famed as『princess』and『bounty hunter』, though…」

As Ria and Rose stood before the president and the senpais,

「Stop trying to take away『our』Allen!」

「We resolutely reject the prospect of joining the student council!」

They said with a strong, firm tone.

Then the president stood up on the spot and spoke.

「Let’s see… why do you two reject it?」

「Because Allen is the head of our Practice-Swing Club!」

「Exactly!」

「I think you already heard it from Allen-kun, but… There’s really nothing in general affairs, so it won’t affect the activities of the practice-swing club, you know? It’s okay just to go to regular meetings held during lunch break.」

「A-Allen always eats lunch together with me!」

「M-Me too…!」

When they made such a strong rebuttal,

「Aa, I see… that’s what this is all about…」

I have no idea what exactly the president understood, but she was nodding her head understandingly.

「Well then, how about Ria-san and Rose-san join the student council together with Allen-kun?」

「Us…」

「Into the student council…?」

「Yes. The frame of general affairs is still vacant, and you are also welcome in terms of ability. If you join the student council, you’ll have a lot of fun, you know? For example… we spend a lot of club budget and hold a candy party several times a month!」

「Together with Allen…」

「Candy party…」

「No, president… Let’s use the club budget for managing the student council properly…」

The president seemed to have narrowed the target to Ria and Rose, and brought up various stories to convince them.

「Other than that, there are also training camps in the summer, you see? If I’m not mistaken, this year we decided to go to a resort in the south. Barbecue in the beach together with Allen-kun… What do you think?」

「Going to a resort together with Allen…」

「Beach barbeque…」

……I feel like the story is heading towards a strange direction.

Then, suddenly, the president leaned towards Ria and Rose – and began a secret conversation by whispering.

「Allen-kun is also a boy, right? If you appear in an open swimsuit, unlike your usual formal uniforms… wouldn’t he fall easily?」

「「……!?」」

I don’t know what on earth the president told them, but the two of them blushed brightly for a moment.

And then the next moment,

「Allen… let’s join the student council!」

「Thinking about it calmly, I think it’s a pretty good idea!」

「…Eh?」

The two reliable swords – fell into the hands of the president before I knew it.

「…President. What did you whisper to the two?」

「Fufuu, it’s a『secret』! I won’t tell it to a naughty child who cheats!」

Perhaps she was still bitter about losing that poker match, as she said so childishly.

「Now, Allen-kun! There is nothing obstructing you from joining the student council! Naturally, you’re going to join, right?」

As I glanced at Ria and Rose, they both nodded.

(Even though they were so strongly opposed to it… just what exactly was whispered to them…?)

I’m not sure, but at any rate they seem to agree.

Well, personally, I have no complaints as long as the practice-swing time doesn’t decrease.

「Haa… I understand. I’ll join the student council.」

「YAY! We got Allen-kun!」

This is how my student life as a concurrent member of the practice-swing club and the student council executive began.
