Chapter 41

A lost girl can be seen crying in the darkness .





The reason behind her tears is she’s attempting to run away from her painful and scary memories, but by doing so, she has lost her way back home .

As she searches for someone to help her to find her, alas, no one can be found .

Having lost her way in the darkness, she crouches down and begins to weep .

The lost girl has realized that she’s now lost in the darkness .

Suddenly, the girl stops crying and begins to get up .

She shes shows signs of looking for something and begins to run one more .

No, not that way!

Come over here!!

A voice cries out but falls upon deaf ears .

Where you should belong is over here, not there .

“Mizuki……”

Wrapped around in a soft and warm feeling, I begin to awaken .

“……hmm……”

Reflected in my field of vision was my uniform jacket .

As I begin to stir around, tears can be felt running down my checks .

It seems the little girl that was crying was Mizuki .

“Have you awakened yet?”

A familiar voice calls out to me .

“Huh? Hayate? Was I……asleep?”

It appears that I have been using my arm as a pillow when I fell asleep .

As I’m tilting my head around, I examine the scenery around me .

The Libary .

I wonder if I fell asleep like that .

“Mizuki, why are you crying?”





Hayate, who has now stood up, comes to my side and reaches his hand out and places it upon my check .

He traces his fingertips below my eyes in an attempt to wipe away my tears away .

It appears that Hyayte is not wearing his coat for his in white vest can be seen .

“Crying……?”

“Are you still sleepy?”

“Hayate, the touch of your hands feels so warm and comforting . ”

“…………so you’re awake now . ”

Hayate let out a deep sigh and cupped my cheeks with his broad palms .

“I’m awake now . I was dreaming of a lost girl . ”

“Dreaming?”

“Yes . There was a crying girl . She was lost and couldn’t find her way back home . ”

Even though I wanted to reach out to her, I couldn’t . (TN: Probably wrong)

“I see . I hope she finds her way back home soon . ”

“Yes, so do I . ”

Resting my cheek against Hayate’s palm, I close my eyes and shake off the remnants of my dream, and change my facial expression .

“By any chance, have I kept you waiting?”

“No . You were unusually sleepy, were you tired?”

“I don’t think so? It just I’ve grown tired of the current situation . Ah, but I do hope the elections come to an end soon . ”

“Indeed . That was beginning to become annoying . There is no need for Mizuki to stand out in the open like that . It’s unjustifiable when they force their agendas upon someone unwilling . ”

It seems the overprotective Hayate spurns the current student council president and Ninomiya senpai as they only impose their demands upon me .

After all, for everyone, the world seems to revolve around them .

When someone has the mentality that they’re the center of the world, they tend to respond differently to outside stimuli; some chose to acknowledge it while others reject it .

Occasionally, instead of themselves, they place someone else in the center of their world .

Like a little star, they orbit their sun believing that this will bring purpose towards their life .





For me, the center of my world is Mizuki, not myself .

Dare I say, I’m more akin to a comet than a star .

A mere fragment of memory passing by that’s soon to burn out .

I will one day have to return this world to the little girl who is currently lost .

No one but me is aware of this truth .

The deception and betrayal I have done so far, I don’t regret doing so .

No matter what I have to sacrifice, as long as my wish comes true, that’s all that matters .

Just a bit longer, and soon everything will be taken care of, but despite all this, Mizuki still can’t be found .

Hayate’s palm, which has been touching my check, gently begins to move .

“You’re a bit hot . Do you have a fever?”

Placing the back of his hand against my forehead, he checks my temperature .

“Maybe its because I just woke up . It’s not exactly the season to catch a cold . ”


“I hope you’re right; it’s just that you haven’t fully recovered yet . It’s always best to take caution of such matters . ”

“You’re so overprotective!”

“Call it what you will! It’s just that I’m terrified of Mari-sama . ”

“………………I completely understand . I share the same sentiments, as well . ”

Once the name of my eldest sister is brought up in conversation, you can’t help but agree .

She’s truly a terrifying Empress .

“Come on time to go home, Mizuki . ”

“Yes . ”

I put the books away and exit the library .

Walking side by side, we walk through the campus, now left with a sparse amount of people .

“Hayate . ”

“Yes . ”

“The fish have been caught in the net . ”





“I see . The question is, which net were they caught in . ”

Once Ookami heard that he was to become a secretary, he began to concern himself in which faction Hayate was in .

“Did the fish swim into the net themself or was the net thrown in front of them . ”

It seems we won’t find out until the next student council president has been decided upon .

As for myself, I could care less about which net they have fallen for .

The only response I felt from Ookaime when we conversed earlier was that he was not ready to make a move seriously .

Perhaps he’s unwilling to move as he felt that his plan would be counter before it was set in motion .

“The real problems lie once the second year starts……”

I nod silently towards Hayate’s words that he muttered quietly .

There are only a few more days left until election day .

With that in mind, I left the school building and got into the car that came to pick me up .

****************

The next day, I heard that Ookami declared in front of all the other candidates that he would only become a secretary if he were to be under Ninomiya senpai .

This news has been spreading around all morning; you could hear voices everywhere talking about it .

“You’ve got us . ”

The encirclement of girls I’ve had around me dispelled a while ago; thus, the student council president Toudou could be found at my desk talking to me with a wry smile .

“I’ve done nothing . There isn’t a good enough reason for me to make a move; besides, I’m the type that would rather stay on the sidelines . ”

“You were that one that made Ookami move, weren’t you?”

“Do you honestly believe that I could persuade him . Ookami moves for no one, for he is his person and moves at his own will . ”

“……Are you speaking the truth?”

Today as well, his beautiful baritone voice could be heard .

A baritone voice is enjoyable, but if you just want to get lost to the sound, a bassy voice is preferable .

It is quite rare to find someone with a low pitched voice in Japan .

The most common of such voices is the tenor .

A husky voice is attractive in its own way, but I still prefer a mellow voice that’s rich in volume .

“Even so, why won’t you accept my offer?”

“As I mentioned earlier, there is no incentive for me to do so . If there’s going to be needles conflict, I’ll have no choice but to crush the source of the problem, won’t ? . ”

“……well, that is certainly true . ”

With a sigh, the president agrees .

“I would have never foreseen that with just a few words the chaos that it would ensue . ”

It appears that Toudou-senpai believed the words I told him that by me refusing to get involved, it caused a chain reaction that has lead to the current uproar .

If it were to be viewed by an outside perspective without a doubt, it would appear to be true .

The first-year girls began to move in order to protect me; thus, the student council president wasn’t allowed to approach the hallway, let alone the classroom .

Ninomiya-senpai’s campaign, which should have been just a matter of taking it easy as the leading candidate changed drastically, forced into a position where it was extremely difficult to win votes caused him to fall into an inferior position .

To add insult to injury, a couple of second-year students began to run as well, further damaging his position .

Generally, only one or two candidates should have been running, but this year six candidates were running; there was even a first-year student .

Usually, they wouldn’t have a chance to acquire any votes towards themselves, but by appealing to the students that disliked the current student council, they were able to win some votes .

If a person is aware of their responsibilities and can play on one’s emotions, they can appeal to those with a righteous heart that it’s the right thing to do to participate in the management of the next student council .

Furthermore, they then informed them of their respective advocacies .

Ninomiya-senpai, the successor of the current student council president Toudou, only made the appeal that he would take over Todo-senpai’s will .

He neglected to say what he was going to do, only saying that he was going to install me after him, thus for a while, his reputation fell .

I heard that he is now giving substantial information on what he’ll do, but I, who have decided to vote for a candidate other than Ninomiya-senpai, have no intention of reversing my decision even if I were to hear it .

“…………”

I had a feeling that something would happen, but I could have never anticipated the current situation were currently in .

If only I were aware of the influence, the words I’ve spoken would carry .

“It can’t be helped I’ll give up on you this time since I’m about to graduate . I don’t want us to part on bad terms . ”

Smiling gently, the student council president Toudou drops his gaze to look at me .

“I’ll be waiting for your arrival at the university . Next time I won’t let you go so easily . ”

Having said that, the student council president Toudou heads back to his classroom .
