"So, Soi-kun, how did you get so many points during the Harvest Festival?"
A barrage of questions came like cannon fire, but Soi didn't dodge; he immediately began to counterattack.
"Because my family ability is [Obstacle Recognition], and that's just how my family's doctrine is, so I can't help it. And honestly, this thing is driving me crazy. There are so many things I want to say, but it feels like no one is listening. In the end, I can only go to the rooftop and play my trumpet, honestly!"
"Oh, and let me tell you, Shesi-kun is super nice! He gave me all his points. He didn't keep a single one. He said he was already at [4], so he gave them all to me. But rank is so important! If he hadn't given them all to me, and considering those ingredients, I really think Shesi-kun could have reached [5] like As-kun. I was truly, super touched!"
Seeing Lead step forward, Pulson also began to speak up.
"Lead-kun, you're getting too close! And it's fine to eat instant noodles after school, but remember to clean up properly! You spill them everywhere. Also, in the future, please don't bring inappropriate books to the classroom, and don't just throw your clothes around. You're just relying on Goemon-kun to clean up after you, aren't you? Goemon-kun works very hard too!"
"And you, Schneider, you went to a mixer with girls from another school the other day, didn't you? You were invited by Teacher Forcas's daughter, and you didn't even bring us along!"
Hearing this, Lead and Jazz immediately looked at Schneider, who, knowing he was in the wrong, turned his head away.
"I thought you weren't interested in that kind of thing!"
"Turn your head and look us in the eyes!"
"And Sabnock Sabro, next time you sleep on the floor in the Royal Classroom, don't do it there. That's where Lead-kun eats his noodles."
Soi then looked at Asmodeus.
"Asmodeus... everyone calls you Asmodeus, so I'll call you As-kun too, okay? You're always secretly taking pictures of Iruma-kun and occasionally Photoshopping yourself into them. Iruma-kun is also always secretly eating snacks in class. Honestly, the chewing sounds are really distracting to those nearby!"
Shesi immediately glared fiercely at Iruma upon hearing this.
"Eating snacks again?"
"Uh... just... a little bit," Iruma said, making a small gesture with his hand.
From that day on, everyone realized that Soi was… super talkative… and always had been.
"Wait, wait, let's summarize first. Currently, Asmodeus and Shesi are at rank [5] and [4] respectively, and Iruma is also high, so we don't need to count them. Everyone else is at [3], and only Big Sister is still at [2]. That's the situation, right?" Lead said.
Big Sister looked a little embarrassed upon hearing this.
"Sorry… I'm a bit of a hindrance."
Camui immediately knelt on one knee and said,
"You are not wrong."
"Then the next strategy is to have everyone participate, but with Big Sister as the focus, to seize all attention and have everyone rise to [4]! The great operation!"
Oh, oh!
"But what should we do for the Music Festival?"
"I think a Demon King play would be better," Sabnock said.
"That won't work, right? Big Sister as the Demon King? That doesn't seem very reasonable, does it?"
Sabnock:? Not me? Then what's the point of acting!
"Rejected!"
"Rejecting himself?"
"Clara wants music, music."
Shesi saw this and said,
"That's fine. Soi-kun is a [Fairy], and he plays the trumpet wonderfully."
Everyone froze upon hearing this.
"Didn't Soi-kun also just say he goes to the rooftop to play the trumpet? And isn't [Fairy] also…?"
…Everyone immediately surrounded Pulson.
"Eh? You're a Fairy? That's amazing!"
Shesi immediately stood in front of Pulson.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's discuss what to perform first," Shesi said, waving his hands.
"A band!"
"A Demon King play!"
"Music!"
"Idiot Clara, a band *is* music!"
"Eh? Is it?"
The Music Festival was four weeks away.
The next day, inside the Student Council office.
"Thorough management of activities is the job of our Student Council. Therefore, I'm sending you to investigate the first-year students' performance projects," Ameri said, looking at Ronove and Navla in front of her.
"Refuse! Ronove!" Ronove immediately raised his hand and said.
"Why?"
"A position befitting me, Ronove, should be a more glamorous job. Yet, ever since joining, it's been nothing but humble chores for the Student Council. I'm fed up! Ronove! And… what is this? What is this? It stinks! This goes against Ronove's aesthetic sense, hey!"
Navla, hearing this, looked angrily at Ronove.
"What? Want to fight? Hmph, I, Ronove, am not afraid of anyone except… that person!"
Ameri saw this and said,
"While I won't force you, this is a great opportunity to make an appearance. Interacting with students is part of the Student Council's public relations. I think the Music Festival is a good chance for Ronove to become well-known among the first-year students. Since you…"
Before Ameri could finish, Ronove pinched his nose with one hand and hugged Navla with the other, rushing out.
"You should have said so earlier! Then I and… Na… Natasha will go first! But we need to get rid of this smell first."
Ameri commented upon seeing this,
"Such an easy-to-understand guy… But I'm still curious about Shesi's class."
"Indeed. After all, they're aiming for everyone to reach [4] at the Music Festival. I wonder how they'll challenge it," Smoke said, walking over with documents.
"They are problem children, after all… With those two around, it won't be quiet," Kishlight also walked over, laughing.
…The door to Class A suddenly opened, and Ronove walked in with Navla.
"Excuse us~ First-year commoners~ It's me, and Navla, who has been smoked with incense," Ronove said, carrying a jar containing Navla, who had been doused in perfume.
"Each person can only take a maximum of 6… 5 pictures, five pictures."
Just as Class A was still a bit confused, Navla pulled out a sign.
"We are the Student Council, here to conduct an investigation."
Only then did the people in Class A understand.
"Class A is a poetry recital! They're using fairy tales from the Demon World as lyrics and narrating the story in the form of a song. And I never expected Coco-kun's singing voice to be so amazing! I think their chances of winning this time are pretty good~"
Ronove heard this and said,
"How tacky!"
Class A: Eh?
"Add some more impact. I think bursting balloons with sound would be great. The story is also so boring. Choose one from my 666 story collections. And add some small decorations, like scattering roses in the air. Alright, that's it, next!" After a fluid series of actions, Ronove directly moved on to the next class.
Inside Class B.
"Ah, if it's for you, I'd even give up my castle."
"Princess, absolutely not. We are destined to never be together…"
Just as Class B was still reading their script, Ronove rushed in.
"With Ronove here, there are no surprises. Opera is good, the forbidden love between a princess and a loyal retainer. Hmm~ it's just a bit boring."
