Vol 19 Chapter 4 (1/2)
The Rolling Carnival
That day, during the reign of the thirteenth generation Student Council, a widely-attended but covered-up thing happened
Regardless of whether it was the old Student Council or the current new one, it was the same Since the Academy City Zuellni had been born into the world and a Student Council had eeneration of Student Council secretary would log the things that had happened into their records Fros, to the results of the various student discipline situations, to the published papers and research abstracts, even the countless things that the City Police reported, were all stored in a tre of history Even a nor to the library, so it could be said that it was Zuellni's history book
As long as it was so that had to do with the Student Council, even tiny insignificant things would be recorded into these logs, but the thing this time hadn't been recorded inside in the end
Moreover, no one was blamed for that
In that peculiar situation, even Student Council President Karian Loss was unable to blame the secretary for those independent actions
Ten days before-
”Let's have a festival”
Karian said this in thethat happened after Karian finished listening to the Military Arts Head Vance Hardy's report on the training of the Military Arts depart with the various department heads' reports
This year was the Military Arts Competition, and Zuellni who had only one seleniu had faced a harsh situation where they had to win Fortunately, Zuellni had achieved victory in the battle against Academy City Myath, and because of this they had obtained so room However, the Military Arts Competition hadn't ended, and they were still in a situation where they couldn't relax so the Military Arts students were focusing hard on training
However, preparing for the Military Arts Cooal that the students lived here for, and it was just a situation that one would only encounter in an Academy City
Those were the various depart reports
”In this kind of critical juncture?”
Vance stared at Karian with a bitter expression
”It's because it's a critical juncture”
The large-scale training being carried out for the Military Arts Competition was a burden for the various students ere responsible for supporting it Inspections had to be carried out for the Dites that the Military Artists used, repairs, fighting clothing,defensive equip workers to deal with injuries that happened during battle etc As long as the Military Artists were taking action, other students would have to cooperate and follow
”We have toto s”
After wryly s
”Actually, in terms of duty, the ones who have tofor the final research reports before they graduate Moreover, the other students are feeling uncomfortable because of the business of their everyday life Haven't there been more small conflicts lately?”
Vance as also an executive of the City Police couldn't deny that probleh that is true, we can't tell the sixth-years to skimp on their work, so at the least we should provide an outlet for them to reduce their depressed moods”
”So that's why you want to hold a festival?”
”That's right”
”But, we can't spend too ht?”
Another departreement to those words
”Of course, we probably have about a week to prepare, and we can cancel classes to so that time The problem is in the area of materials”
”The school has si as we rent some more, on't need to make new stalls, so there shouldn't be any proble as we add points to grades, we'll get as htly tanned Architecture Head expressed approval of the festival, and a s around the entireroom, only Vance's face was bitter
”Then the Military Arts students”
”Just suspend the training carried out in the city If possible, it would be best to reduce the difficulty of the training to soent, but we can't have thee for the entire year”
Just as Vance wanted to say so, Karian opened his mouth at the same time, and those remarks made the creases on Vance's brow become deeper Since Karian had been elected Student Council President, Vance had been the right-hand man by Karian's side, so the other depart his actions
”If the chairmen pass this proposal-”
”Of course, just leave it to me to handle”
After Vance sat back down arhs sounded frouarantee
Nine days before-
It was carried out that day - with the approval of the chairrade levels, the proposal that Karian's Student Council sub of a festival was finalized The preparation period was the week before it opened, and notifications were made in advance, so that various classes and student associations registered with the Council applied for stalls or to hold activities
Eight days before-
Maybe the preparation ti for this ti room was quickly piled full of applications to participate in the festival
The Student Council collected the application data, and began taking up the work of creating stall locations and schedules Even if the situation had already been decided, there were still various participants and societies that sube stall locations or to increase their stalls
In order to deal with that work, the Student Council became incredibly busy
Five days before-
”Do ant to do so ourselves?”
The sun was already in the west, and the lights of the school buildings were al out the , sohts on
At this time, the Student Council didn't yet have work like h that were true, they still had to record the stall locations and schedules, though they were only seht noas the preparation period for the festival, it didn't mean that the Student Council's routine business had disappeared because of it
The Student Council's executive rooher than nor with those files
The feht tea in '?”
The Student Council followed the guidelines handed down fro, and Karian who concentrated on tasting the tea looked at the secretary
”In this kind of situation, even the Student Council has no way of preparing some other activity”
Karian used his eyes to point at the mountain of files on his table
”Nn, so we plan on doing so that doesn't require much time to prepare or practice beforehand, a perfor that they're an expert at”
”Oh is there such a perforraphies of every Student Councilof their talents But he was unable to quickly coether
”Uh?”
Karian showed a confused expression, but the secretary who stood before hih of so a band be?”
”A band?”
”Nnn Because shi+rley can play the piano, Miralia can play bass, Roxella can play the druuitar?”
”Yes, is that unexpected?”
”Very unexpected”
That hadn't been written in her biography
The secretary in front of hiave off a the air of a sheltered, rich princess, and even if it weren't strange for her to know some instruuitar Actually, in her biography, there had been an instrument with a very rich princess-like air
”Because I only learned it after coh this was an unexpected answer, to this secretary and the group of girls that she had just roup of Student Council secretaries - it wasn't anything unexpected
”I think that we'll probably also need a bit of practice ti by what you just said, it seeazed at him with a smile, and that expression made Karian have a bad premonition, and his entire body froze because of this
He was unable to be slow in this kind of situation, and maybe that was Karian Loss's bad luck
”You couldn't ?”
”We're not joking”
Karian rubbed his te?”
”Don't look at ht”
”How could that be”
Maybe she took those words as a joke, but Serine laughed
”Ohhard”
Just then, Vance walked in with one of his platoon ave off a gorgeous presence that added color to the slightly tired atmosphere of the rooroup of secretaries gave happy cheers
However, Serine didn't leave Karian's side
”Thanks for helping to patrol”
”No no no, it's quite fun to be able to stroll through Zuellni at night with my dear”
Vance who stood to the side showed an extremely bitter expression, but Rafael seeht, I just accidentally overheard while outside, but could it be that the Student Council will hold soone to make tea for the two of them, and Rafael cut the cake for everyone
”Nn, we're planning onthe cake, Serine replied like that
”Oh, a band Music is great, since it can heal the heart”
”Raphaela-san, are you also planning on doing soh I'ether with an orchestra”
”That see for it?”
”I've been preparing since a long tio The orchestra is people that I've known since I started school here, and we coether, and the outfits are also ned before I plan to hold another before I graduate, so this time counts as a preview”
”Seems incredible”
”Nn”
Serine's words made Rafael nod his head enthusiastically
”After all, I plan toto these six years I want to use custom costumes that I made with a lot of hard work”
Rafael spoke elatedly, and the expression of Vance behind hie shohat kind of dra my eternal love for you in a dream world Yes, for you!”
In order to escape froaze to the edge of the ceiling
Though his 'dear' expressed indifference, Rafael wasn't depressed He continued speaking:
”Then, who's going to be the singer for the Student Council band?”
”Of course, President”
Serine's sranted Because she had already told three people about this, she probably planned on pushi+ng this to the level of an established fact
”No, I haven't yet”
”Ah, that's a the leader head a performance, that's exactly what festivals should be”
”Really? I thought that in this kind of time, our Student Council President should take a more behind-the-scenes position”
”That's true But, we are students, and we have to enjoy a festival to be students I think that the President's student side can also help the normal students feel relaxed”
Rafael's words made Karianthe e his clothes Karian let Vance and the other secretaries go back to their individual roo until the ht
In his apart breakfast
”Hi, good ”
Karian tried to chat, but his sister didn't respond Norreeted in the
Karian knew the reason why he was unhappy
How could they hold a festival in this critical juncture She definitely thought that
Not long before, Karian had forced her into acting in the filnet Hunter Felli' The fil to be released, but she definitely hadn't thought that they would be holding a festival as if to ht her brother was h it truly wasn't like that, it was very suitable for her to think that way, and actually Karian was the person who had agreed to let her act in that film Even if her paranoid delusions continued to expand and she began considering conspiracy theories, it was a very natural thought process
The hateful silence made Karian decide to quickly escape the apartment after he finished his business
What dispelled that thought was so earlier”
Karian didn't look at his sister, but said those words to the doors He didn't knohat kind of expression his sister showed outside of his vision Karian held the thoughts that 'maybe my sister is normally expressionless, but she'll smile because of those words' as he spoke
”Never ht Dite experiment Even if only a Psychokinesis a as we can find soe, I think that it can ease your burden”
”You ed that person's nature, how unlike you”
”No, I didn'tbefore the planning stage But, with regard to Light Dites, no one in Zuellni has yet been comparable to him So in order to let this experiment be carried out smoothly, I could only let his atteht Dite's flying ability and particle beam have temporarily been suspended, plans to put the a on the occasion, it could becoiant weapon like the Kei cannon, or could reduce the burden on you”
”I won't hold any expectations of it”
His sister's attitude was still cold But, it was ed this
When Karian walked to the door, his sister's voice sounded
”Has so happened?”
His feeble attitude had been noticed, and Karian showed a wry smile, but his feet didn't stop because of it
”Uh, I just kind of understand your feelings of not wanting to do so forced into it”
Felli seemed to turn her head, but Karian didn't look at his sister's face right then, but rather left the roo off the tram at Sanaji Avenue, Karian looked at the scene on the avenue while walking towards the school building Preparations for the festival were going on in every corner, and currently there were vehicles holding ures of Architecture students carrying thetowards the Student Council building
Though he had been the one who had announced the festival, he would never get tired of watching this avenue's scene of slowly changing vitality
Karian had prepared to pass through the plaza, which had been blocked off because as being done on it The workers in the e
”Oh, President”
Just as Karian planned on changing his route and was about to depart, someone called to him
It was the Architecture Head
The Architecture Head s a safety helmet, and he shohite teeth that contrasted with his swarthy face
”Hi, how's the work progressing?”
”Nothing's gone wrong, it's very smooth”
”What aboutthe cultured materials from the h processing capacity for the wood, it's clear that Zuellni is very vigorous”
The Architecture Head's words provoked Karian's interest
”You know that the city's vigorous?”
”I can pretty , but the Architecture Head's tanned face was already da around his neck to wipe off the sweat, and then said:
”I can figure out just by looking at the culturing area Like I just said, the culturing area uses the city's enerative ability of the city When people are feeling bad, the wounds they receive don't get better easily”
”Nn”
”The proof is, when the city went ra area was terrible”
”I never heard about that”
”Didn't I report to you about the business of the culturing area production inefficiencies before? Other than that, the deduction is justafter all, it's not like the Mechanical Departuys who are professional and justified”
The Architecture Head's reasons were very justified as well, though
”The condition of the culturing area has been particularly good the past few days Maybe the Electronic Fairy is also looking forward to this festival”
”Looking forward to the festival huh, so that's how it is”
It wasn't hard to understand the Architecture Head's reht about the reports from the Machinery Department Karian didn't know about the condition of other Electronic Fairies, but he knew that the Electronic Fairy of Zuellni was very exuberant and curious When he had just entered school, situations would often arise Mechanical Departone somewhere, and that was proof
”You have to be excited too”
”Nn, of course”
”After all, this is the stage you're going to stand on”
”What did you say?”
As the Student Council President, he had to make this festival succeed - Karian had only nodded his head to show approval because he had thought that was the Architecture Head had meant
However, the Architecture Head see else
”What, you couldn't possibly not know, right? This is going to be a live ht music clubs can all perform independently Your band will also perform here”
Karian felt a bit dazed
”Since when?”
However, Karian didn't fall over There were other students here who, just like Karian, had failed to notice that the plaza was closed and then had to leave, and there were also workers constructing in the plaza As the Student Council Head, Karian definitely couldn't faint in front of the eyes of spectators
”Nn? Before you came, a secretary came over and told me”
Serine
The Architecture head patted Karian's shoulder, and it looked like he approved of the situation Karian could only force himself to stay calm as he left the area
After that, Karian ran into many people who chatted with hiht up the matter of the Student Council band
This wouldn't do, he was being trapped
Karian walked to the Student Council building while wiping off the sweat on his forehead It definitely wasn't the hot temperature of the summer that made him sweat that roup was utilizing some method to try to make it an established fact because Karian hadn't shown interest and had been hesitant In order to make this decision an established one, they planned to e, and e of the Student Council, had nowhere to run
”I need to think of so”
Karianinto the Student Council building
Even the construction students ere preparing to work brought up the band Karian returned a doubtful smile very unlike him, and then arrived in the Student Council room
Music came fro roo to the Student Council were currently s into the room
Karian watched quietly
The sofa that Karian usually used to nap on had been moved to the side, the table had been taken away, and replacing thee amplifier set on the floor, and musical instruments placed on stands
A brilliant ave Karian a cold sweat
Karian entered the Student Council rooh the files that he hadn't finished dealing with yesterday were piled on the table
It was norh this was the first ti holding his change of clothes next to the table, Karian sat in the chair The familiar sensation of the chair let hi on the table that hadn't been there yesterday
It was a data chip, and to it, fixed with a clip, was a music score
The sticky note attached to it read 'This is theto perform, so please memorize the lyrics'
Karian was already speechless, facing Serine's neat handwriting
Three days before-
The preparation for the festival was already entering the final stage Right now there were almost no more construction workers around, the schedule for activities had already been planned and finalized, and all that was left was for the workers to ses
In the schedule, the playing time of the Student Council band was clearly listed
The weariness in Karian's heart had already reached its li to perform sounded fro, but the electronicyourself?”
After asking this, the drummer shi+rley lowered her face shyly
”Rreally I feel like it's not bad at all”
Karian could only show a doubtful sht now?
This was the only matter in Karian'sStudent Council work, and there would be ti the shboring room - the room that had beco was ree, but they had never considered in the beginning that there would be a band perfor druh the walls and entered the Student Council room
Every time he heard their performance, Karian would hold his head
