125-Changing everyday



 Sei Sei Seijo Senior High School is one of the leading schools for young ladies in Japan.
 It is a girls' high school known for the children of many famous and wealthy families.
 Mizuho and Marion were new to this girls' academy from this school year.

''Shitendera-san.......I have a favor to ask you, if you don't mind?''

 Mizuho was approached by her classmates in her seat.
 Today's classes were over and Mizuho, who hadn't participated in any club activities, was just getting ready to leave school.

''Hm? What are you saying, Akiko? What's the matter with you? You don't look so good!

'Yes I've been feeling a bit under the weather for a while now...'

Oh no, you need to go to the hospital now!

 The person who spoke to Mizuho was her classmate, Akiko Houzuki. She and Mizuho were seated close to each other, and Akiko's innocent nature was something Mizuho took a liking to, and she was the one person in the class who, with the exception of Marion, got along well with her.
 That Akiko's face was so pale and unusual that it was obvious to anyone who saw it. It was so far removed from Akiko's usual energetic and blooming appearance that even Mizuho was surprised.

''Yes I intend to, but I have an important meeting later on, all the members of the student council are present, so I was wondering if I could ask Shitenji-san to fill in for me.''

'We don't have time for that kind of... yeah! Student Council!

 Mizuho unintentionally reacts in a way that is rarely heard at a school for young girls.
 Because Mizuho, who was an excellent student in the entrance examinations, had been eagerly invited to join the student council since the day she entered the school. So Mizuho has refused to join the student council many times.
 The reason is, of course, that she is a psychic and she doesn't know when she will receive a request from the World Organization of Psychics or, to a lesser extent, directly to the Shitenji family. If that's the case, you can't fulfill your role.
 What's more, the student council of Sei Sei Seijo Academy was a very powerful organization in this school. This is because of the school's strong student autonomy culture. It is also an extraordinary organization, with a considerable amount of money donated by the families of the students, who are the daughters of the famous families who are enrolled in the school, so its financial strength also surpasses those of the companies in the area.
 But of course, the responsibility is correspondingly heavy. For that reason, Mizuho had refused.
 There is another reason why Mizuho continued to decline the invitation from the student council.
 That is because...............I'm not good at it.
 The members of the student council.
 No, especially the student council president.
 When Mizuho was called into the student council room for the first time since she entered the school, she met this student council president and wanted to leave immediately. Mizuho isn't good with people at all, so getting involved with this overly unique young lady student council president was a struggle itself.
 Moreover, against Mizuho's wishes, the student council president took a great liking to her and continues to recruit her even now.

''No, it wouldn't have to be me...''

''No, I thought that the associate member of the student council, Shitenji-san, would be the right person for the job...''

 Akiko, who looked blue and out of shape, staggered her body dazedly.
 Mizuho was surprised and hurriedly supported Akiko's body.

''Ah, Akiko-san! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'll tell the doctor. Akiko-san, how will you pick up your child today? Marion, can you help me with that?

 Mizuho changed her blood and called Marion, and Marion noticed that Akiko was acting strangely and immediately lent her a shoulder. Even in the classroom, the classmates noticed the change and were upset, and since she was raised by a young lady, they were cringing as to what to do.

'Akiko-san! Are you okay? Ruiho, I'll take you to the infirmary, Ruiho, please call the teacher!

All right!

 In a hurry, Mizuho and Marion acted individually and took Akiko to the nurse's office.



 After leaving Akiko in charge of the teachers, Mizuho appeared in the student council room.

''Excuse me,''

 When Mizuho entered the student council room, all the busy student council members stopped their busy work and focused on Mizuho.
 The interior of the student council room is carpeted, and when you walk around it, you feel as if your body is floating in the air. The tables and chairs in the student council room were also very expensive, which is easy to recognize from an ordinary high school.
 The student council president, Eikura Masako, rolled her eyes when she saw Mizuho entering, and stood up from her luxurious student council president's seat to make a grand gesture of welcome.

''Well, well, well! Shitenji-san! I hope you will finally decide to join student council!

Oh, it's not...

 Excited, Masako grabbed both of Mizuho's hands and brought her face so close to her forehead that Mizuho naturally turned her body away from him.

'I have been waiting for you! Oh, what a great day this is! It's like a butterfly alighting in the wilds of desolation!

'Well, Mr. Chairman, that's not a possible situation...'

 Mizuho can't help but be uncomfortable with this ultra-purely cultured, ultra-lady, Masako.
 Masako, who seemed to be deaf to Mizuho's insults, said that if she was left alone, she would be forced to waltz with him, so she quickly kept her distance and told him about Houzuki Akiko's condition and that she was able to replace her.

'Wha, Mr. Hougetsu? How kind of you....

 As soon as Mizuho told her about it, Masako's face instantly turned into an end-of-the-world expression, making her body stagger.

''Chairman! Be careful!

 All at once, the student council members rush over to support Masako and offer words of encouragement.
 Finally calming down, Masako looks up, wiping away tears with a handkerchief in hand.

''Oh, I'm sorry, everyone. It's times like these that I, as the chairman, have to be firm. That's right, I'll do my best for you, Hougetsu-san! Ladies and gentlemen, let's go visit Mr. Hokkien later! Oh, what can I do for you?

'Oh, Mr. Chairman! Mr. Hougetsu liked yokan!

'Oh! Now, let's take a look at Toraya's yokan. And the dorayaki are delicious too. Assemble those....

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

....

 Mizuho looked at the situation as if she was deflated and blurted out to herself.

''That's why I'm not good at... this place...''

 Afterwards, Mizuho was agreed to attend the important meeting Akiko mentioned on her behalf, and she and the student council members went to the conference room next to the chancellor's office.

''Chairman, what is this important meeting today? What kind of agenda is this?

 To be honest, Mizuho asked Masako, even though she thought she would just be a substitute, she would just be participating. Instantly, Masako's face tightened.

''Shitenji-san, today's meeting is to discuss a very, very important matter. It's something that could change the future of this Seisen Academy.

 Mizuho could feel the atmosphere of considerable importance on that serious face of Masako's that it was an agenda item.

''Is it.......okay for someone like me to participate?

''Yes, Shitenji-san is Hougetsu-san's deputy and a member of the student council, so it's only natural.''

 Mizuho, who had been made a member before she knew it, twitched her face.

''But please keep the contents private. The agenda for today's discussion is........''

Yes, sir.

 Mizuho looked at Masako's profile as she nervously replied.
 Arriving at the front of the conference room, Masako put her hand on the door of the conference room and turned her head to Mizuho.

''Today's agenda........is about the future of Sei Sei Seijo Academy becoming co-educational.

What?

"'Quiet! Shitenji-sama,

I'm sorry, too.

 The story was so unimaginable that Mizuho couldn't help but shout out, and the other members of the group warned her about it.
 Masako walked into the conference room, where no one had yet arrived, and took a seat of her own.

'But is it true? The story is....

''Yes, I will explain to you later on, but the environment surrounding this prestigious Seicho Senior High School has changed in many ways. So, although not right now, our school is seriously considering the future of coeducation.

Well, that's certainly an important matter.

However, it is natural, of course, that our ladylike students will be surprised and perplexed by the sudden change to co-education. I can't speak for others either, but after all, I am not immune to gentlemen...

 That's probably true, Mizuho thinks. Even this is still confusing compared to the people around her, even for Mizuho, who has more opportunities to touch the opposite s*x that aren't family members, it's confusing. With the students of this academy, who are only super-awesome young ladies, it would cause a lot of confusion.

''That's why our current direction is to provide a preparation period for that.

'You're that far along in the conversation.... What kind of preparation time do you mean?

''It is after rigorous and careful scrutiny that we first invite selected students to join our College for a short period of time. Of course, they must be academically qualified and must be recommended by our school...

'Chosen student? I don't think that's....

''Yes, that's not what I thought, Mr. Shitenji. We are inviting a few of your lordships a few male students to attend our school on a trial basis for a short period of time. So, we will see the impact on our school. It will be a long time before the school is fully co-educational, but we are halfway through the process of laying the groundwork for the alumni and parents' association.

You're a frat boy, aren't you?

'You don't have to be so scared, Shitendera-san. No, to tell you the truth, I'm scared too. To tell the truth, my hands are still shaking right now.... But this experimental trial is almost a done deal.

 He must be really scared. Masako clenched her right hand with her left.

'So I believe what is particularly important is the method of selection and the temperament of the gentlemen being selected, sir.

That's true. If you are too bold, everyone will be frightened.... Preferably a quiet, harmless........ha! Chairman!

What's wrong with you? Shitenji-san, your face is all red.

Excuse me. I'd like to ask you a few questions!

 Mizuho's swashbuckling swordplay makes the super-daughter Masako feel pressured.

''Wha, what is it? Shitenji-san.

'Such as! For example... as a persona of a lord who invites you in, but who is good, harmless, pushy, and has a beautiful girl beside him who doesn't think it's any of his business... but is kind. And what about the strong, irritating lords who get on my nerves when I'm with them?

I don't know about the last one, but...

I don't know!

Yes, yes, well it's all good except for the last one, isn't it?

 Mizuho's face is tinged with excitement.
 Her nose is also rasping.
 A big smile.
 The members of the student council sweated at Mizuho's change.

 Immediately after, the door of the conference room opened and several teachers under the chancellor entered.
