Extra in The Student Council
3. What an airhead
Five years have passed since I was born in this world. When I found out my mother's dark blue hair and my father's ash gray hair were natural, I knew I wasn't reincarnated in Japan that I knew.
I also didn't inherit many memories and feelings from my past life. It's something like, I know I had parents and families in my past life. But I can't remember what they looked like or how I felt about them. It's the same with all of my connections, whether it's with my girlfriend/wife or friend.
(What a convenience) I thought. I read many of those light novels that have stories where the main character is conflicted with his/her feelings and memories from their past lives and their new lives. With this, I, Katsuragi Shuu, didn't have to bother with that point as much as they did.
It was different from starting from a blank slate, but at least better than those who need to erase or make space before they write something new on their slate.
Oh, by the way My father's name is Katsuragi Ren, while my mother's is Katsuragi Aoi. Shuu, Aoi, and Ren What a very easy and practical name to use! I quite like it.
At first, Shuu thought he was born into a family with a silver spoon in his hand. It was the result of his observations in the few years he lived. But in his fifth year, the day when his tutor came, he knew it wasn't as simple as that. If what his tutor said was the truth, then instead of silver, Shuu might be born with a mithril or even an Orihalcum spoon in his hand. In simpler terms, his family wasn't just rich but astonishingly filthy rich, so filthy that even if they didn't work, their wealth could last for generations.
Then maybe because of that, Shuu's education was a bit on the crazy side. (Where the heck do you find a child under five years old learning three languages at the same time?!) Shuu screamed inwardly. from the point he started learning and identifying words at the age of one and two. Education is becoming crazy and crazier. By no means, he wasn't rich before, so he never knew how filthy rich a family mindset is. That's why he tried to make himself look a little bit on the genius side as a child, but not enough to be called a monster or abnormal.
And now, when my tutor, Fujiwara Daichi, came and became my teacher, education became even crazier. (Moral? Ethic? For F sake, I'm not even ten!!) Shuu sighed once again.
There were two things that screamed from inside him. First, never be a half-ass again. Finish everything that you started. Those wishes and those feelings screamed all the time, as if they were coming from inside his soul. It didn't need a genius mind to know that was the lingering feeling or even regret his past life had. and then another one is to avoid disappointing Shuu's parents. Once again, Shuu didn't fully know what happened in his past life, but these were his regrets embedded deep in his soul.
And today, Shuu's teacher, Daichi, brought her second daughter along with him. who were the same age as Shuu.
With her wavy, long pink hair. The cute-looking girl introduced herself: "My name is Fujiwara Chika, nice to meet you, Katsuragi-sama."

Miyuki felt like he had a headache as he saw the principal go out of the room. Looking at the two incomers, he couldn't help but sighed inwardly. As one of the top students, there's no way he didn't know these two. Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Rizu
In this particular subject, these two were his rivals for the top. He already had his hands full with keeping the top spot from Kaguya and his work as president. He didn't have time to teach someone else, unlike Kaguya, Shuu, Maki, or even Fumino and Rizu. He wasn't a genius, all of his achievements were achieved by hard work and hard work alone.
However, as this was an assignment from the principal, Miyuki was also unable to just deny it altogether.
For now, they were invited to sit on the sofa as Kaguya prepared tea for all members.
"Um.." Fumino was the first to open the conversation. "Can I ask something?"
Miyuki, on the other side of the table, gestured to ask her away. "What happened to Chika-chan?" She asked as she glanced at Chika and Shuu in the corner of the room.
Shuu, who had already more or less calmed Chika down, also walked closer and stood behind Miyuki. "She was bullied by Shinomiya earlier," he said.
"B-Bullied!?" Fumino startled and flinched in place while Rizu calmly processed Shuu's words "I see, So this why some people said Shinomiya vice president was a menace." She said it out loud, like it was the plain truth.
"Ricchan!?" Fumino quickly shut Rizu's mouth, but the deed was done.
"My," Kaguya smiled, but her eyes were colder than a glacier. "That's my first time hearing that... I WONDER… where that talk came from." Then Kaguya served a cup of tea for everyone except Shuu and Chika on the corner. "Please help yourself," she said with a smile still hanging on her face. "Also. Katsuragi-san Please refrain from saying something that could cause a misunderstanding. Fujiwara-san only misunderstood"
"Ahaha, sorry, Shinomiya-san. I thought it would be a good insta-gag just now. I'm sorry about that. I never thought there was THAT kind of talk roaming around the students," Shuu replied with another perfect smile similar to Kaguya's. "Also, Shinomiya-san"
"Yes, Katsuragi-san?" Kaguya replied.
"What about mine?" Shuu turned and looked at the tea on the table and also on Kaguya's hand.
"Oops. I'm sorry, Katsuragi-san. I've never thought that I'm also an airheaded person. It's over there." Kaguya pointed at the utensils on the side and said, "Also, I'm sure Fujiwara-san also wanted some."
"Haha, what an airhead" Shuu laughed it off.
"Isn't it? hehe" Kaguya also laughed it off. The scene was like something straight out of a fairy tale.
Without any other way, Shuu went to make his and Chika's share of tea.
Meanwhile, Fumino leaned forward toward Miyuki and whispered in a very small voice to avoid Kaguya and Shuu hearing it. "President, president" She called, "are they on bad terms?"
Hearing that Miyuki had quite a troubled face "Actually, they were on good terms. It seemed like they were childhood friends. Shinomiya only acted like that when it came to Katsuragi." It would be a lie. If Miyuki were to say he didn't feel anything about that, But he also knew there wasn't anything special between them.
"Then back to the beginning." Miyuki continued, "Principal just said to help the studies of you two. However, we were aware of how proficient you two are in some subjects. I don't think we had the capability to tutor you two on that."
"Aa! Fumino-chan!" Suddenly, the bubbly girl entered the conversation. "Since when you're here? What are you doing here?" She was all smiles, like usual, before she sat beside Miyuki.
"Ettoo…" While Fumino was troubled with how to explain. Shuu also came back from brewing tea. "Chika, here." He served Chika a cup of tea in a similar way as Kaguya before. "We are also about to ask them about that" Shuu answered her question.
"Thanks, Shuu" Chika replied.
