“Is the speech preparation going well?”
“Just ignore it.”
“Is it not okay to ask?”
“I’m focusing, so please don’t disturb me.”
Mimosa snapped back irritably at William’s words. William turned away with a bitter smile. Disturbing her while she was focused on writing her speech wasn’t a good choice, as she said.
“I wish you would just stay quiet, even if you don’t get elected.”
“Shut up. I will definitely get elected. I can’t lose the Saint’s position…”
“You haven’t even had a proper conversation with the Saint, have you?”
“Then what about you?”
“Well, what can I do? Sir Quartz is watching someone approaching with fiery eyes. Aah, I want to face him again. It was a bit regrettable only facing him at 300 to 1. He’s truly a terrifying person.”
William let out a deep sigh filled with regret and looked at Mimosa. They had many opportunities to talk as representatives of their majors, so William was worried about her.
‘What if she throws another hysterical fit?’
Mimosa was already prone to irritation when things didn’t go her way according to her plans. William didn’t think she could become student council president.
At least among those who’ve experienced her, there wouldn’t be many who would vote for her.
It was just that Mimosa was clenching her teeth to become the student council president.
“Stop loitering and leave quickly.”
“…Good luck.”
“What a given statement.”
Mimosa shot a sharp retort and tore another page, who knows which one by now.
‘I must become the student council president. That’s our original place…’
Her eyes gleamed ominously.
—————-
“Hehe, Johann! I’m here!”
[Hello, contractor! Boring day!]
…What kind of greeting is that?
“Welcome back. Is your speech ready?”
“Yep! I’m writing hard! I got some hints while talking with friends!”
“That’s a relief.”
“…Aren’t you curious?”
“I am, but wouldn’t it be better to hear it at the student council candidate speech?”
At my words, Millia’s expression darkened a bit. Was she upset that I didn’t ask? Since she was hugging it tightly, it looked like she wanted to keep it secret. I scratched my head and approached Millia.
As I got closer, Millia naturally placed her hands on my waist.
“…If it’s Johann, I could show you specially.”
“…To be honest, I’m a little curious.”
“Hehe, right?”
How could she be so transparent? That’s what makes her even cuter.
“Johann, have the others arrived?”
“Viola is still researching in the workshop, and Elisa is reading in the lounge. Sif is… probably playing with her siblings.”
Originally, Rue was usually in charge of playing with the younger ones, but since Rue had something come up, Sif was forced to take care of them instead.
Since Sif is their older sister, that makes sense.
“Just change your clothes and come back.”
“Okay!”
I watched Millia rush off before starting to walk towards the lounge. The path to the lounge was quiet. Usually, I would have headed there with Karina.
I missed Karina’s absence.
Although her empty spot would soon be filled, the past month without Karina felt oddly empty. She’d said she would return on the day of the student council president speech, so it wasn’t long now…
“Johann?”
“Oh. Elisa. What brings you to the corridor?”
“Ah, just for a second…”
Elisa slightly flushed and mumbled. Probably just coming back from the bathroom. I naturally held Elisa’s hand as she crossed her arms.
“Have the others come?”
“Viola seems to still be in the workshop. Sif… is still in the garden.”
“Sif is really working hard.”
“…I’ll want to play with children like that someday, too.”
“…I suppose so.”
Could you not give me that half-lidded look? No matter how you look at it, it looks like the eyes of a predator hunting its prey. I’m not someone who gets scared by something as cute as that, but Elisa’s gaze sent shivers down my spine in a different way.
If I hadn’t declared celibacy, I felt like she might have pounced on me at night to make things official.
“Johann… How many children would you like to have…?”
“That’s too early of a discussion. Focus on graduating first.”
Even if we were to have kids, that would be at least a year later, so talking about it now is terrifying. Responsible pleasures are welcome, but the timing is just all wrong.
“I thought this kind of talk would be okay…?”
No, I’m feeling chills down my spine right now.
“…Well, it’s hard to guess how many since it’s already five.”
Just having one would make it five. If I had two, that would be ten. At that point, I wouldn’t even be able to remember my children’s names. Elisa puffed her cheeks at my answer.
“I want to have lots and lots of babies with you…”
“I didn’t know you liked children that much.”
“Seeing Sif with her siblings made me want a family like that…”
“There will come a time for you to be a parent too.”
Assuming everything goes well. I stroked Elisa’s head, swallowing the rest of my words. Elisa quietly accepted my touch.
Thus, we stepped into the lounge, filled with a precarious atmosphere. As Elisa said, there was no one there. I sat straight down on the sofa to catch my breath. The previous conversation was still a little beyond my capability to handle.
Thanks to that, I felt mentally exhausted. Just then, Elisa sat next to me and looked at my lap.
“Can I sit on top?”
“Do as you wish.”
“Hehe… I wanted to be spoiled like this…”
It felt very different to have Elisa sitting in a place that was often Millia’s designated spot. Unlike Millia, who was overall small-sized, Elisa was a voluptuous beauty.
Having someone with a figure that doesn’t lag behind Karina sitting on my lap, the feeling of her soft rear and the gentle fragrance tickling my nose from the crown of her head just below my chin was quite mesmerizing.
“Your chest is… sturdy.”
“You’re the one who’s soft.”
“I, I’m just a bit chubby…”
“Chubby? Seems more like voluptuous to me.”
Just seeing her enormous rear pressing down on my legs and the view from below was imposing. How is it that she doesn’t gain weight? She eats a lot but doesn’t move much.
Is magic training that taxing?
“Johann… could you put your hand on my belly?”
“Just that much is fine.”
I placed my hands on Elisa’s belly as she requested. Elisa placed her hands over mine, looking up at me.
“I think I understand why Millia sits on your lap.”
“How does it feel?”
“Um, it’s racing. And… there’s a reassuring feeling… I can feel your heartbeat through my back.”
Was my heartbeat that strong?
Anyway, I spent some cozy moments with Elisa, who was acting spoiled today.
Why only a moment? Because obviously…
“Johann! I’m here!”
“Come on in.”
“Come on in…”
“Hmm? Why is Elisa sitting there?”
I glanced at Millia, wondering if she might feel upset, but Millia casually sat beside me and looked up at Elisa.
I thought she would be angry.
Guess she’s not that petty after all.
“I-I just wanted to sit once…”
“How is it? Nice?”
“It’s nice…”
“Hehe, Johann! Listen to my speech and give me your feedback!”
“Fine. Got it.”
“Your speech?”
“Yep! I’ve written a rough draft!”
I was curious about what Millia had written as her speech. What could it possibly be?
“Cough-cough.”
Millia cleared her throat, opened her notebook, and read out loud, facing us.
“From the moment I transferred to this academy, I wanted to become the student council president…”
Millia’s speech echoed through the lounge with her youthful voice. It wasn’t very long, but the message she wanted to convey was clear.
“Millia. That was a good speech.”
“Hehe.”
“But it’s not without things to improve on. First—”
I pointed out a few things that seemed lacking in her speech, from delivery to content, to minor errors. Millia listened to my feedback with a serious expression and took out a pen from her pouch to jot them down in her notebook.
“So like this? You mean to change it like that?”
“I can’t say my word is absolute, so I hope you will think a bit more on it.”
It’s not like I’ve written a speech before. I do recall doing group assignments…
“Okay! I’ll think about it just like Johann said! Thank you! You’re definitely the best!”
Millia suddenly closed the distance and pecked my cheek, grinning playfully.
“Then let’s revise the speech together.”
Three days until the speech.
The student council president’s speech was just around the corner.
