Side: Student Council President, Lulua

Today, the clear blue sky spreads across the morning, making the beginning of the day pleasant.

Walking in the cold morning air, I thought that I would do my best today as I walked along the usual path.

"Good morning." (Lulua)

"Ah, good morning. The Student Council President is early today as usual, huh."

In the morning, I passed by the students heading to the grounds, already changed into their gym clothes.

"Please be careful not to get injured, and do your best in your club activities, okay?" (Lulua)

"Understood, President. You too, please don’t overdo it."

This school, Weed Gakuen, puts a lot of effort into club activities, and its athletic club system is relatively outstanding compared to other schools.

The students seem to be aware of that, so there are some who voluntarily engage in club activities early in the morning and train constantly.

"Oh, you’re early, Lulua."

"Good morning, Rock-sensei. It’s always like this. We’re going to have a student assembly soon, so I have to put a lot of things together."

"Still serious as ever, huh. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but you should take a break sometimes."

In the hallway, Rock-sensei, who serves as the adviser for the Athletic Club, greeted me as we passed each other.

He is a serious teacher who properly guides the students. However, he’s also the type who isn’t too strict and can joke around—a popular teacher among the students.

"I’ll be fine. I’m a student too, after all."

"I see. Then take care of those feelings, and be careful."

Saying that, Rock-sensei headed toward the grounds.

"Nn? I wonder if my feelings are being revealed?"

Even though I haven’t told anyone... What a terrifying intuition a teacher has.

Anyway, I came to school early today because of the student council’s work, so I have to do my best.

With that in mind, I entered the student council room.

"Good morning, Student Council President." (???)

"Oh, President. Good morning." (???)

"....Good morning." (???)

Among them, three members of the student council had already spread out the documents and were working on them.

It seems I was the last one to arrive.

"I’m sorry. It looks like I’m the last one." (Lulua)

"No, the Student Council President has to greet everyone first before coming here, after all." (???)

"I just arrived too." (???)

"....I don’t recommend it unless you avoid the public eye a little more." (???)

The Secretary, Ellis, understands my situation.

The Treasurer, Lutz... really just arrived, and she looks pretty relaxed.

Vice President Labiris... she’s a bit mean as usual.

"Well then, shall we start?" (Lulua)

I relaxed my mind, took a seat, and spoke to everyone who was currently working.

"Yes, the student general meeting is coming soon, so this will be a budget meeting and a summary of petitions from each club." (Ellis)

"There are still clubs that haven’t submitted their desired budgets yet, right?" (Lutz)

"Shouldn’t we just leave those clubs alone?" (Labiris)

"I’m not sure what to say about Labiris’ idea, but if we proceed without informing them, they’ll definitely complain, you know." (Lulua)

And so, as usual, we all worked together in the student council room.

The morning hours feel quite short. Even so, it’s strange how time feels both longer and shorter when working like this.

That’s when I noticed—the outside had become lively with the voices of students arriving at school.

"Oh, it’s already time." (Ellis)

Ellis looked at the clock and muttered.

"That’s true. That’s it for this morning. Let’s continue after school." (Lulua)

"Ue. Everyone, want some tea?" (Lutz)

"...Please." (Labiris)

We cleaned up the documents, had a cup of tea, and took a short break.

"Come to think of it, the test is coming soon. Is everyone going to be alright?" (Lulua)

"I’ve been paying attention in class properly." (Ellis)

"I don’t have any particular problems either~" (Lutz)

"...No problem." (Labiris)

Un. It’s reassuring since this school is full of geniuses.

I study normally, but it would be a lie to say I’m not worried.

"Ah. Looks like he’s here." (Ellis)

"Looks like it." (Lutz)

"Nn. He finally came." (Labiris)

The three of them said that while leaning against the window.

Who are they talking about? While thinking that, I listened carefully.

"Onii-chan, do your best~!" (???)

"Nii-sama, you’re amazing desu~!" (???)

"Hold on tight, okay?" (???)

I could hear cheerful voices.

I also stood up and went to the window to look at the source of those voices.

A male student was running while carrying two grade school girls—probably his younger sisters.

"You know him?" (Lulua)

I asked Lutz, who was closest.

"Yes. I mentioned this before, right? When I was about to be late and bumped into someone..." (Lutz)

"Oh, so he’s the one who brought Lutz-san to the infirmary?" (Lulua)

"Yes. He’s a good guy. It’s strange that I didn’t notice him until now." (Lutz)

While we were having that conversation, the other two joined in.

"That’s natural. Yuki is my childhood friend, after all. He’s definitely a good man." (Ellis)

"...He’s also my childhood friend. Also, he’s mine." (Labiris)

——Lutz and I froze at their words.

"...Wait a minute. Didn’t we all agree that the ‘childhood friend’ position is prohibited!?" (Lulua)

"That’s right! We decided that only ‘close friend’ was acceptable, right!?" (Lutz)

We denounced the two who had clearly broken the rule.

"Ah, sorry. I am his childhood friend because we’re cousins." (Ellis)

"I’m also his cousin before being a childhood friend, so it’s safe." (Labiris)

What’s with those convenient excuses...

If that’s how it is, then—

"If that’s the case, then I’ll be his lover!! I’ll thank everyone for going to school with Onii-san every day!!" (Lutz)

"Then I’ll be the wife!! We’re already a couple, so I’ll thank everyone for taking care of him. It’s already decided!!" (Lulua)

After declaring that, sparks flew.

Although we’re fellow wives who respect each other, and this is just acting, it’s still not easy to give up on monopolizing danna-sama.

"——Cut. Just what are you guys doing?" (???)

At that voice, the recording stopped.

But we didn’t stop just because of that. I still felt betrayed, after all.

"What’s up with you four? What are you all so angry about?" (Deriyu)

"Who knows. Maybe even if it’s just acting, they still don’t want to give up being with our husband." (Seraria)

Deriyu and Seraria were chatting leisurely over cups of tea.

Seraria being so casual somehow irritated me. Maybe it’s because she’s the legal wife?

"Is that so? If you just go home and get along, you’ll be loved as usual, won’t you?" (Deriyu)

"Right. If we start a strange conflict here, we might lose our husband’s trust, after all." (Seraria)

Hearing that one word, we all stopped.

And all eyes turned toward danna-sama.

"A-Are you going to hate us?" (Ellis)

"""......"""

Ellis, looking terrified, waited for an answer.

We waited for danna-sama’s reply in silence.

"No. There’s no way I’d hate anyone just because of that. It seems there was a difference in understanding, so read the script again and have a proper meeting." (Yuki)

I felt cold.

Ugh, it’s cold. My heart is freezing.

"More importantly, dear, what do you think of our uniforms?" (Seraria)

"So, does this one look good?" (Deriyu)

The two spun around in front of danna-sama.

"Yeah. Both of you look great." (Yuki)

Danna-sama praised them honestly.

"""Praise us too."""

Feeling impatient, we approached our husband.

"O-Of course...." (Yuki)

In the end, we all wore our uniforms for the rest of the day.

By the way, the button on my chest flew off twice—it was terrible, you know.
