Memory 23
Memory: Trivial Positive - "Let's go pick up girls!" volunteering as class rep (Vol 1, chapter 8, part 1)
Game: Game (played)
Game Master: Mad Hatter
Day: 202
Notes: Come in the form of what appears to be a large-ish candy, in your team color. It tastes sweet when you lick it, but doesn't convey the memory—it also doesn't break if you chew on it, or . . . hit it with a hammer. You have to swallow it whole. Unshareable. Unless you're very determined? . . . um . . . well, no, let's just say no.
Each person can take home one small thing—an outfit, bottle of wine, stuffed toy, etc Taken
Mikado and the others had gone through a few days of high school life, and had just finished undergoing a health examination. Lessons would finally start the next day. Raira Academy had the tradition of organizing a school tour and club exhibitions the day after the matriculation ceremony and the third day was reserved for a school health examination and a class council meeting.
It was already the third day, during the class council meeting and it was time to appoint the class representatives, but—
“That’s right, let’s go pick up girls!”
Masaomi used both hands to slam a textbook shut, like in some ad he’d seen.
This was 1A, Mikado’s class, yet Masaomi from class 1B was sitting inside. In a classroom where most of the people were wearing school uniforms, Masaomi, who had already started wearing casual clothes, stood out even more.
“Why are you here…”
Mikado had already known Masaomi was there a while ago, but had waited until now to say something. The teacher wasn’t in the classroom, so student number 1 had taken over in heading the meeting.
“Uh, the maintenance committee representatives are Yamazaki-san and Nishizaki-san. The welfare committee representatives are Yagiri-san and Asakura-san. The discipline committee representatives are Kuzuhara-san and Kanemura-san, and the electoral committee representatives are…”
This school had a system of electing one male and female student to be representatives of each committee in the class. After the student heading the meeting had finished reading off the results on the blackboard, he thought for a while as to what he should do next.
“It’s time to elect the class representatives, so does anyone want to run?”
“Me…”
Mikado grabbed Masaomi’s hand with lightning-quick speed to prevent him from raising it, but then began to regret doing so.
—Class representative huh? Sounds fun, but it might be a pain too.
Mikado was looking for a respite from his mundane everyday life. He’d left the land that was all he had always known to come to this new world he’d never seen before. And spending some of the happiest days of his life in this new environment had only strengthened his resolve.
After feeling that inexplicable excitement from what he’d experienced, Mikado could now clearly comprehend what danger was, but still couldn’t stop himself from crying out:
—I want more excitement! I want an unconventional life! I want more change!
If Mikado were to meet some extortionist or some scam artist or even a weird religious cult now, he might even get conned by them.
And if it was on Masaomi’s invitation, he might even be willing to go to a Bosokozu gathering.
There was a part of Mikado’s conscious which was in a rather dangerous state, but there was another part of it which badly wanted to run for a special position like the class representative. But then again, he was worried that his duties as a class representative might hinder him from his pursuit of excitement.
In times like this, he should first consider the situation first, but as he thought this—
“…”
A girl lowered her head slightly, and raised her hand.
It was the fair skinned, bespectacled girl—Sonohara Anri. It was the pretty, refreshingly refined girl with the vibe that repelled others.
“Oh, you’re…Sonohara…Anri-san? Then everyone, please give a round of applause to acknowledge her appointment.”
The classroom rang with relatively unenthusiastic applause. Since there was no one interested in nominating themselves for class representative, so naturally, there would be no one interested in whoever became class representative.
“Then, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
The student temporarily heading the meeting wrote Anri’s name on the board and returned to his seat, looking rather relieved.
“Um, do any boys want to run for the position of class representative?”
Anri’s voice was delicate, yet extremely clear. But since no one was willing to volunteer, a kind of thick silence started to permeate the classroom.
—What should I do?
Unable to decide, he stared intently at Anri up front.
Suddenly, Anri’s gaze stopped at a male student.
Mikado turned to see who she was looking at—and realized it was a rather tall male student. He was the second tallest in the class, and was probably the newly elected welfare representative.
Yagiri Seiji. This name was clearly written under the four words ‘Head of Welfare Committee’. Aside from being taller than most people, he seemed like an ordinary teenager. But, there was absolutely no trace of childishness on his face. So even if he were to say that he was already an adult, he would probably be able to get away with it.
But since he was already a part of the other committees, why was Anri still staring at him? Did she have some sort of crush on him? As Mikado thought about these things which were none of his business—
Her gaze swept to Mikado’s direction
—Eh?
Under her glasses, a very uneasy expression crossed her face, which made feel Mikado feel rather troubled.
“I’m such a sinful man…”
The moment Anri’s gaze left them, Masaomi who was sitting against the wall had started blabbering nonsense once again.
“That girl’s fallen for me. Did you see that uneasy expression on her face when she thought of all the ‘dangerous’ and ‘risky days’ she’ll have with me in the days to come?”
In response to the whisper Masaomi had meant for him, Mikado replied nonchalantly, “Sorry, could you speak Japanese? In case you didn’t know, this is Japan.”
“Eh…! Even when you’re being mean, you’re totally calm! I never thought that the first obstacle in my path would be you…but then again, I live for love, so even if I have to kill my best friend to achieve my goals, I won’t think twice!”
“Um, in any case, you should.”
But after thinking about it, Anri could very well be looking at Masaomi, who had nothing to do with anything, and not himself. Then that would explain her unease. But as Mikado thought about this, he secretly griped within himself: “Why did that idiot have to sit here?”—
It was then Mikado realized, what Anri was really looking at.
The seat Masaomi was using, was really the seat of the female student who didn’t come for the matriculation ceremony and was absent for three days in a row. At the same time, Mikado also recalled Anri being rather preoccupied with the absent student from the very beginning.
As he thought and thought, Mikado quietly raised his hand. Although he had absolutely no idea about what Anri was thinking, but since no one else was willing to do it, then he would. It was because he was thinking that, so he decided to raise his hand.
“Um…you’re…”
“Ryuugamine Mikado! Ryuugamine! Mikado!”
Note:
—I want more excitement! I want an unconventional life! I want more change!
-A need for exciting things
-Volunteering as class rep next to Anri!
-Masaomi is awesome and makes like fun
-Bullying Masaomi a bit though
-plus 50 dangerous mental state
What we learned:
Boredom sucks. Also the first three days of classes can go into this memory so some every day, normal school life and hanging with Kida.
