November
"It`s been two months," Ishigami thought as he was relaxing at home following a long day of classes. "Hello?" said Ishigami as he picked up the call. "Ah Ishigami, how are you?" said a familiar voice. "Ah Principal Pesacrolo, what can I do for you?" said Ishigami as it was none other than the principal of Shuchi`in Academy. "I was wondering if you were free to give some advice to our new Student Council," said Adolphe.
"Oh? Is everything alright back there?" Ishigami asked. "Yes, everything is fine, but it seems that the current Student Council needs a bit of guidance as most of the members seem to lack confidence in themselves due to most of them being new," said Adolphe. "I`ll see if I can make some time then," said Ishigami. "I see, let me know if you can make it, that`ll be all, take care," said Adolphe. "Of course, take care," said Ishigami as he ended the call. "Well looks like it`ll be a possible reunion at Shuchi`in," said Ishigami as he wasn`t expecting to hear from Shuchi`in Academy so soon.
Later
"So what`s going on?" Miko asked as they were having dinner. "Oh it`s about Shuchi`in Academy, the principal gave me a call a while ago," said Ishigami as he took a bite of his pasta. "Oh, what for?" Miko asked as she helped herself to some bread. "Well, he told me that he wanted me to come to give the current Student Council some advice, you wanna come? I don`t really wanna go alone" said Ishigami. "Yeah I`ll go as well, let the principal know that we`ll be coming, you`re on dish duty today by the way," said Miko. "Alright, I`ll let him know tomorrow," said Ishigami as he got up to go wash the dishes.
"So you`ll be coming in this week?" Adolphe asked as Ishigami gave him a call back. "That`s correct, do you have a preferred time when you want us to show up?" Ishigami asked. "Come whenever you prefer," said Adolphe. "Alright, see you soon," said Ishigami as he ended the call. "So much for playing video games, guess I have to be Student Council leader for a day" Ishigami thought as he lay on the couch
Two Days Later
"Are you ready to go yet?" Miko said from the living room as they decided to drop by Shuchi`in as they had an off day. "Yeah, just give me a second," said Ishigami as he wore his pants. "Let`s hope things haven`t changed too much," said Miko as she hopped on the bike. "Yeah, well the world is full of surprises," said Ishigami as they rode down the street.
Shuchi`in Academy
"Doesn`t seem like much has changed since I graduated" Ishigami thought as they walked through the gate. "Ah Ishigami, Miko, good to see you two again," said Kei as she walked outside with Moeha to greet them. "Yes, it`s been a while, how have you been?" Ishigami asked. "Good, what brings you guys here?" Moeha asked. "Oh the principal called us to come here," said Ishigami. "That principal or ours, he`d rather play Pokemon Go rather than be an actual principal, he could have told us something," said Kei. "I`m sure it`ll be fine Kei, anyways, let`s go in," said Moeha as they all entered the school.
"Thank god Kei became the new president, I`m scared to think what would happen to Shuchi`in Academy if a Fujiwara became the president," Ishigami thought as they walked down the hall. "Did you say something?" said Moeha. "No, it`s nothing," said Ishigami as they walked up to the Student Council room. "Here we are," said Kei as she opened the door to the Student Council room.
"Ah president Kei, welcome back," said a male as three students bowed back. "Hello everyone, let me introduce you to the rest of the Student Council, our secretary, Mitama Tono, our treasurer Taikoku Takano, and our financial auditor Kogane Kanegae," said Kei as she introduced the rest of the Student Council. "Nice to meet you all, I`m Yu Ishigami, the former Student Council president, this is Miko Iino, my vice president," said Ishigami as he and Miko bowed back.
"So what seems to be the issue?" Ishigami asked as they all sat down in a meeting. "Well it seems that the Student Council doesn`t have as much influence on Shuchi`in as it used to," said Kei. "What makes you say that?" said Ishigami as he heard a knock on the door. "President Kei," said a student as she entered the room. "Ah yes, what can I help you with?" said Kei as she looked up. "I`ve come up with a new proposal," said the student. "Okay this looks fine, I`ll let you know if the request has been approved," said Kei.
"That student wasn`t wearing their uniform properly, that`s already an issue," Miko thought as she watched the interaction. "Is anyone thirsty by any chance? We should still have some cola left" said Moeha as she went into the fridge. "Oh I`ll have some," said Ishigami as Moeha poured him a glass of cola.
"If I may ask, what is going on in this Student Council?" Miko asked as she stood up. "What do you mean?" Kei asked seeming a bit confused. "Why was that student not wearing her uniform properly?" Miko asked. "Oh yeah, we got rid of inspections upon entering the school, the new disciplinary committee decided not to be too strict on our dress code," said Moeha. "What?! You`ve gotta be kidding me" Miko said in disbelief. "Is something the matter Miko?" Kei asked.
"What I`m saying is that there is no discipline and order, everyone just seems to do as they please whether it`s not enforcing the dress code or having prohibited items in the Student Council room," said Miko as she slammed the table. "Okay, let`s calm down a little," said Ishigami as he knew where this was going to go. "Stay out of this Ishigami, with the current state of the Student Council things will go downhill unless there are some major changes," said Miko as it seemed that things were about to get out of control.
"Okay, let`s go outside, sorry about her," said Ishigami as he took a distressed Miko out of the Student Council room. "Well, I didn`t know the vice president was such an authoritative figure" Kogane whispered to Taikoku. "Yeah I had heard stories about a member of the Student Council being somewhat totalitarian," Taikoku said back. "You think things will be alright?" Moeha asked Kei. "Yeah, give it time, everyone back to work until things calm down a bit," said Kei as the Student Council resumed their duties in the meantime.
Outside the school
"You need to relax, what they do here now has nothing to do with us," said Ishigami as he tried to calm Miko down. "How can I be calm? Look at what Shuchi`in Academy has become, it`s a shell of its former self due to poor leadership in the Student Council" Miko said in disbelief. "Listen I know you only want what`s best for Shuchi`in, but we`re only here to give them pointers, not to do a complete overhaul of the Student Council, we`ve done our part here," said Ishigami.
"Then how do you suppose we fix this then?" Miko asked. "First we need to figure out what their issues are without forcing any major changes on them," said Ishigami which seemed to annoy Miko. "Fine, let them do whatever they want," said Miko as she stormed off. "So much for not having an argument," Ishigami thought as he sat down and tried to think of a solution.
"Were you able to calm her down?" Moeha asked as Ishigami walked back into the Student Council room. "Not quite, she stormed off on her own," said Ishigami. "That`s unfortunate, I was hoping things would have gone a bit smoother," said Kei. "Well that was to be expected," said Ishigami as he knew that seeing all the changes in Shuchi`in would not sit well with Miko. "Alright until things calm down for a bit, why don`t you explore the school a bit, I`m sure you know your way around," said Moeha. "Too well I`m afraid, but I guess I should see what I`ve been missing," said Ishigami as he excused himself from the Student Council Room.
Noon
"Another day of craziness, not that every day isn`t already," Taikoku thought as he ate lunch alone. "Guess I`m having lunch alone today since Kogane meeting with her friends today," said Taikoku. "Hey Taikoku right?" said Ishigami as he joined Takano. "Oh, President Ishigami," said Taikoku as he looked up from his lunch. "So you`re the only male member of the Student Council huh?" Ishigami asked. "Yeah I am" said Taikoku.
"How`s that been treating you?" Ishigami asked. "Honestly it`s a bit overwhelming since I`m the only guy in the Student Council, I get asked by the other male students to input their ideas to the Student Council, not to mention some of our members are a bit interesting," said Taikoku as he was referring to a certain pink haired individual.
"Yeah I feel you, I was the Student Council president last year being the only guy in the Student Council," said Ishigami as he chuckled. "How did you manage that?" Taikoku asked. "Well for starters, you have to learn how to put your foot down otherwise they`ll see you as less and take advantage of you, be bolder," said Ishigami. "I know, but it`s hard to change personality in an instant" said Taikoku.
"Hey, if you have time, you wanna see some Student Council secrets?" Ishigami asked hoping to change the subject. "Yeah that sounds nice," said Taikoku as the boys finished up and left the cafeteria. "Better buckle up my friend, you got a long road ahead being in the Student Council," Ishigami thought as they walked to the Student Council room.
In the Student Council room
"Wow, I never knew that you had such a tough road before becoming a student Council member," said Taikoku as Ishigami showed him the file containing his middle school incident. "Yeah, I don`t really like talking about that," said Ishigami as he closed up the file. "Does it still bother you?" Taikoku asked. "It`s in the past so no use moping about it," said Ishigami. "I really look up to you President Ishigami, I wish I were bold enough to speak truthfully," said Taikoku. "You will, give it time, you don`t change as a person overnight," said Ishigami as he gave Taikoku a pat on the shoulder.
"Oh I gotta get going, I have to go to math class," said Taikoku as he quickly excused himself. "He reminds me so much of myself," Ishigami thought as he sat on the couch waiting for time to pass.
Back in the Cafeteria
"Well I didn`t think things would get this crazy," said Kei as she rubbed her temple. "I was expecting the alumni to give us some advice, but instead it seems that there is an impasse between the two sides," said Mitama as she took s dip from her drink. "Well our vice president was a bit crazy about being strict," said Moeha. "Wait, I thought she was strictly part of the Disciplinary Committee," said Mitama. "She was until President Ishigami enlisted her to be his vice president," said Kei.
"Those two always seem to be at odds with each other, how did they end up supporting each other?" Mitama asked. "You know the phrase "keep your enemies close to you", yeah, they might have been at each other's throats, but you`d be surprised that they actually cover each other's weaknesses," said Kei. "You don`t think those two are a thing do you?" Mitama asked.
"Oh no, President Ishigami is in a relationship with my older sister, but they`re currently going long distance, I just hope they can control themselves the next time they see each other," said Moeha. "Moeha! What are you saying, don`t corrupt this innocent girl`s mind" said Kei. "I`m just kidding," said Moeha as she gave a goofy grin to which Kei sighed. "What am I going to do with you? Anyways, I trust that things will smooth out by the end of the day, let`s get going, math class is about to start" said Kei as they got up and headed to their next class.
A while later outside
"What`s with everyone? I`m just trying to help them out" Miko thought as she sat alone on a bench. "Oh, Ms. Miko?" said a soft voice. "Oh, aren`t you the auditor?" Miko asked as Kogane took a seat next to her. "Yeah, are you okay?" Kogane asked as she sat next to her. "I`m okay, just venting" Miko replied. "May I ask something?" Kogane asked. "Sure, what is it?" Miko asked. "Why are you a strict person?" Kogane asked.
"I`m strict because I felt it was my duty to do good, my parents worked to make sure that no one has to suffer, I hate injustice around me, but I despise those who see and do nothing about it more" Miko explained. "But you`ve already done so much, most of the freshmen here all look up to you as a symbol of hard work," said Kogane. "Really? They do?" Miko asked. "Yes, you`re well known as the backbone of the Student Council which inspires our most studious students, sometimes I wish I could have as much courage as you," said Kogane. "How about I show you an example," said Miko as she got up.
"Hey, the two boys over there, what do you think you`re doing?" said Miko as she saw some boys reading Playboy magazines outside. "Oh crap that`s Miko Iino, the previous Disciplinary Officer of this school," said the male. "Let`s book it," said his friend as they scurried away. "Incredible, you`re amazing to be able to deal with a problem so easily," said Kogane.
"Thank you, you have to show initiative so that people take you seriously," said Miko. "I see, thank you, now I understand why the principal called you and President Ishigami to give us advice," said Kogane. "Yes, perhaps I should put aside my differences to help the Student Council out, thank you for showing me my purpose again," said Miko as she walked away feeling a bit calmer. "Well I didn`t really do anything, but if things have cleared up, good on us I guess, I should head back to the Student Council room," Kogane thought as she walked back into the school.
"There you are, have you cleared things up?" Ishigami asked as he walked up to Miko who seemed to have calmed down a bit. "Yeah, I think so, where are the others?" Miko asked. "They`re all back in the Student Council room" Ishigami replied. "Good, I need to speak with them," said Miko. "Alright, let`s head back then," said Ishigami. "Hey, everything good?" Kei asked as Miko and Ishigami entered the room. "Yeah, I`m better, let`s get down to business," said Miko as now they could finally talk about business regarding the Student Council.
An hour and a half later
"So yeah, hopefully these changes will help improve things in the Student Council," said Ishigami as he and Miko implemented some suggestions such as taking more approaches in school affairs and tighter regulations similar to the previous Student Councils. "You`re right, perhaps we`ve become somewhat lax, is everyone on board with these changes?" said Kei. "Yes Ma`am," said the rest of the Student Council members.
"Alright, Moeha, please let the principal know of the new changes in our policies starting tomorrow," said Kei as she handed her a folder. "Understood Kei," said Moeha as she excused herself from the room. "Excellent, it seems that our work here is done," said Ishigami as he stretched himself out.
"Hey, listen I`m sorry for how I acted back there, I think this group will make a wonderful Student Council, just have more confidence in yourselves," said Miko as she bowed to the Student Council. "It`s okay, thank you for the advice," said Kei. "Hey, it`s getting late, we should get going," said Ishigami as he looked at his phone. "All right, take care, come visit again soon," said Moeha as the Student Council bid them farewell. "See you around Shuchi`in, until next time" said Ishigami as they rode out the school gate.
Later
"Well I`m glad you cleared things up with them," said Ishigami as they were at a Mcdonald's having dinner. "Yeah, you were right, we should leave the Student Council to the next generation," said Miko. "Well never thought I`d hear those words come from you," said Ishigami. "Maybe Mitama was right, I can`t stay an uptight person forever," Miko thought as she took a bite of her fries. "Hm? Did you say something?" Ishigami asked. "No, it`s nothing. Come on, let`s get going, it`s late," said Miko as she got up. "Yeah, it`s been a long day," said Ishigami as they got up and left the restaurant.
Later in the evening
"I glad everything cleared up even if it took longer than I thought," Ishigami thought as he lay on the couch and his phone rang. "Hello?" said Ishigami as he picked up the call. "Oh Ishigami, it`s been a while. "I was thinking about coming to your place, I heard you moved out," said Chika. "Oh uh yeah, how did you find out?" Ishigami replied nervously. "Oh Moeha told me that you stopped by Shuchi`in today and also told me you moved out," said Chika to which Ishigami cursed under his breath.
"Damn it Moeha," Ishigami thought as the cat was out of the bag. "I see, what about it?" Ishigami asked. "So I was thinking about coming over soon since winter break is approaching," said Chika. "Oh uh yeah, that`s fine" Ishigami replied nervously. "Cool, I`ll see you soon," said Chika as she ended the phone call. "Oh boy, this is gonna be fun," Ishigami thought nervously as Chika still didn`t know that Ishigami was now living with Miko.
