CH 122

The person in Koizumi’s line of sight was Akane Hiiragi senpai, president of the student council.

She stood out in a dignified manner in her swimsuit, giving a dignified expression as she handed over a jacket to Miura.

Koizumi’s position is that of vice president.　

President has also decided that he will be her successor

In fact, I got to know this just as I joined the student council.

That’s why I can take a guess on what he was talking about before.

The reason is simple: the current president, Akane Hiiragi, is far too talented.

And since she’s too talented, taking her position would put a lot of pressure on him.

That’s probably why he felt that I was similar to him, who has always been compared.

Indeed, not only Koizumi, but anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, would be worried.

The influence left by one’s predecessor is something that will continue to live in the next generation.

This is especially true if the president is said to be the most outstanding of all presidents.

And since Koizumi was chosen, he was troubled by it.

I wasn’t in a position to talk myself, but he may have been trying to find the answer even by just a bit.

However, I’m afraid I won’t be able to give him an answer.

There is no point in using someone else’s answer as a model for this.

I can’t get his hopes up and tell him to get over it or that you can do it.

But I think that’s fine.

An imitation is just an imitation.

There is nothing wrong with imitation as a matter of fact.

However, if you are going to imitate, the quality of your work must exceed that of the original.

Our modern society works in the same way.

The first and foremost priority should be to do work that is appropriate to one’s ability.

“If you want to imitate that person, it’s impossible.”

“…”

It’s tough unless you’re a person like Yuuto or Shizuku.

It’s impossible for Kirasaka.

Because she definitely lacks in the communication department. She is not suitable to be the student council president, and above all, she will not want to because it would be too bothersome to her.

In addition, the case of a sister and that of a senpai is fundamentally different …No one will be convinced if you do the same as me.

“…You may be right.”

Koizumi looked down with a somewhat self-deprecating smile on his face.

I put down the brush in my hand and leaned back against the wall, looking around at the people who were here, even if some were not here

I’m not sure if Koizumi was wondering about my gesture, but he lifted his gaze from his prone position as well.

“The answer to Koizumi’s problem may… not be the same as Kaede and I’s, but it’s still early now.”

Right now, the student council is led by Akane Hiiragi.

It might be said that procrastinating on a problem is just running away from the current situation.

But sometimes we need to take a break from the problem to think about it, otherwise we won’t be able to think clearly.

That’s what I did.

“That’s right …maybe it’s a little too early to think about it.”

And with that, Koizumi walked away.

I was alone, lost in thought.

The president’s succession, more specifically, the future management of the council is an unavoidable issue.

With the absolute presence of Akane Hiiragi gone, who would be in charge of running the student council?

And it might be difficult to solve the problems within the group.

The more friends and companions you have, the less likely this kind of talk will move in the right direction, because you’ll be sweet-talked into thinking that you can do it, that we can figure it out together.

When the president brought me into the student council, she said something to me.

She said, “…what I want, is a person who can make impartial judgements.”

To be honest, I didn’t understand her intentions when she said it.

However, I felt that if I spent just a bit more time with this student council, I could find the answer.
