As soon as class started, the homeroom teacher brought up the topic of the cultural festival. From first period today, we're beginning the preparation time for it. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll dive into something immediately; first, we need to decide specifically what our class will showcase. Today's choice will be presented at a meeting held by the student council, where discussions will take place and the decision will be made official. This is also when we'll apply for using special rooms or the gymnasium, and determine the schedule and allocation among the classes who have made similar requests. Nothing is set in stone until the meeting between the student council and the cultural festival committee concludes, so earnest preparations for the festival will likely commence post-meeting. If we start preparations prematurely and then find out that our idea wasn’t approved, or needs to change, all our efforts might go to waste. "How about a café? I think it would be great!" "I think so too!" "I did it last year and I want to do it again!" As expected. Many students in the third class seem to be leaning towards running a café. This isn’t a good trend, especially for the new first-year students. Among sophomore and junior year classes, the demand for a café is likely high this year. If class 3 ends up choosing a café as their first choice, we might be in trouble. "May I say something?" "Yes, Kujou-san... What would you like to discuss?" When I raised my hand and spoke up, the teacher acknowledged me. If we let things proceed, the decision would be inconclusive and might lead us to a café. I have to explain the same points I made to everyone else in the class as well. "Firstly, I anticipate that many classes will propose a café this year. If too many classes choose the same thing, they will end up competing against each other, adding little value or novelty and leading to failure." "That's true... but..." "......" I felt the weight of resentful gazes from the class. It's not that everyone doesn't understand. Despite knowing this, the desire to do a café is understandable given the fun and busy cultural festival we had last year. Seeing that, it’s natural to want to recreate it ourselves. However, sometimes enthusiasm alone isn’t enough. "Most importantly, last year's success of class 1-3 was largely thanks to our ability to use the ground floor and deliver dishes directly through the windows. Those not from other classes might not realize that without such logistics, success would be difficult. Our current class on the second floor cannot replicate that." "I suppose so... Oh! But what if we borrow a special room?" This teacher... Could he know exactly what he's doing? He's not saying anything in opposition, seemingly just using my status as the 'daughter of Kujou family' to emphasize the point and gently guide the classmates. A factual and reasonable conclusion would be digestible for everyone. However, arguing against a suggestion from me might be challenging, which is perhaps why the teacher is voicing what others might be thinking. Though it's not certain, it somewhat feels that way. If so, my role would be to refute it directly. "It is likely that other classes are considering the same idea. The demand for special rooms with full gas and water facilities will be high. Is it a sure bet that we, among them, will secure those facilities? Waiting on a decision could delay our preparations, setting us back if our class doesn’t get the approval." "......" The mood in the class turned somewhat somber after my comments. It feels a bit like I'm the villain here, which makes me feel sorry, but I can't back down now. "So, Kujou-san, what do you think would be an ideal presentation?" "While not entirely fleshed out, I'm considering making and selling handmade accessories and small items as a class." This teacher really does seem to be steering the conversation this way. I never saw him as particularly out of the ordinary, but perhaps he has always been behind the scenes, skillfully guiding the students without our noticing. "But what about the budget..." "If we spend the entire class budget on making even one item, won't the Doujou family just reprimand us...?" Worried expressions started to appear among classmates. It's indeed true that spending everything on a single accessory wouldn’t even satisfy the lower households of the Doujou family. However, that's only when aiming to create a legitimate piece crafted by professionals. At a cultural festival, the true value lies not in a 'luxurious artifact,' but rather in "items everyone earnestly created by hand." "Indeed, nothing valuable can be produced even if we invest the entire budget into precious metals or jewels. Yet, creating a 'luxurious artifact' is not the goal for a cultural festival. It’s the heartfelt, unique items everyone makes that hold priceless value." "!?!" Expressions of surprise spread across the faces of my classmates. Yes, they seem to have understood. "I see..." "If it's something handmade by Kujou-san, just how valuable would it be..." "This is a unique strength exclusive to our class alone!" "It's not just Kujou-san! If we sell items made by Saionji-sama or Tokudaiji-sama as well..." Whispers circulated among the classmates, and although their content was unclear, it was evident from their expressions that these were positive murmurs. "And what kind of items will Kawabara-sama create? I'm actually a fan of his." "I totally agree! Though I’m more of a Kitakoji-sama supporter!" "Let's do it, Kujou-san!" "A store selling handmade goods!" "Everyone!" You've understood! It's not that I think cafés are inherently bad. However, due to various factors, it's unrealistic to choose a café yet again. More importantly, I want to experience the class spirit in creating a variety of handmade items together! On the day of the festival, I'd also like to work as a store assistant for a bit and check out the rest of the festival! I want to enjoy what I couldn’t last year! "The problem remains what exactly we want to make and sell. Kujou-san, do you have any thoughts or opinions on that?" "Let's see... Considering the production period and the various strengths and weaknesses we have, how about everyone makes something they're good at?" I suggested. "Those skilled in embroidery, knitting, beading, or needle felting can each bring their own talents to the table. I think having a shop filled with a variety of items everyone enjoys making will be much more engaging." "Hmm, I see..." murmured the classmates in agreement. There would certainly be students who are neither skilled in nor fond of embroidery. It's fine to unite everyone to create one type of item as a team, but allowing each person to forge something they excel at might lead to a more enjoyable experience. "Then I'll handle the knitting..." "I've tried embroidery before, but I can't finish even one piece in a month... If there's something simpler..." "We guys don't even know how to make any of those things," one male student pointed out. "Yeah, I mean, the girls might be able to do it, but none of the guys here can," another added. Hmm, I see... That’s understandable. Even in my past life, I hadn't tried my hand at knitting or embroidery. Not every girl has such expertise either. Perhaps we should decide on a few options and have those with the necessary experience take the lead in each. "Let's decide on what we'll each make and appoint leaders for each kind of item," I suggested. "If you have an aptitude, experience, or interest in making a particular item, join that leader to practice and create it." Students with experience in embroidery, knitting, and beadwork stepped up as leaders. These days, it's easy and affordable to get materials and tools for making small crafts. There were more students than I anticipated who had experience with craft-making, making it rather challenging to neatly categorize into groups. It was surprising to see so many boys interested in making small items. In my past life, this would have been unimaginable, but perhaps Fujihana Academy, with its higher-class students, differs fundamentally from the school I attended before. Well... It was quite evident that the boys' real interest may have been more in the girls within those groups rather than in the crafts themselves. But, that’s something we'll leave unsaid. "Some of us can't seem to do any of this stuff..." "I don't really get knitting and crafts..." A few of the boys seemed uncertain. I probably would've been in their camp in my past life. I don't blame them. If forced, they won't enjoy participating. A change of approach might be beneficial here. "For those who can't or prefer not to make crafts, how about helping with setting up the classroom decorations or preparing the store's interior?" I proposed. "Well, I guess I could handle that..." Good, that seems to set things in motion. Creating something truly complex in a month might be difficult. So, I proposed that each leader choose relatively simple items that can be produced quickly and in large numbers. As long as they follow that guideline, we should face minimal issues. "So, our sophomore class project will be a shop selling handmade goods." "No objections!" came the unanimous response. There's always a potential for the student council and the cultural festival committee to reject our plan. That's why we have a secondary option just in case, but I'm not worried. Now we have our cultural festival project decided. "Next week, the student council officer elections will commence as well. Those who wish to run for office should submit their candidacy by the end of this week," the teacher casually announced, moving on without missing a beat. "......" For me, the student council officer election is a major issue. I need to check the list of candidates... ------ "As expected..." The day after the student council elections opened for registration, the candidate list was already posted. Among familiar faces, Masaki Oshikoji was the only acquaintance running. Yet another name on the list drew my attention. Natsume Nanba... His family belongs to the Namba lineage of the Fujiwara Clan, one of the lesser branches compared to the dominant Fujiwara North House. As a family in service under Ichijo's higher-ranking courtiers, the Namba house sits among the highest ranks within the underground houses, at Junior Third Rank, on par with the Oshikoji house. There are few families above this rank. This information is something I, as Sakuya Kujou, was naturally expected to know after being reborn into this world. However, I also possess knowledge about Natsume Nanba from the game in my past life: "Blooming Love." In "Blooming Love," Natsume, a year younger, appears when the protagonists, the heroines, become sophomores. As a new student, he usually becomes the vice president after running in that year's student council elections. While some paths vary slightly, that's a minor detail for now. In the game, Natsume plays the flirtatious guy, even towards the main character. As he wasn’t a pursuit option, the main character never falls for him, nor was he ever serious about her. Despite acting more like a class clown, he was a popular character who livened up the serious student council atmosphere and occasionally provided unexpected advice to the hero. However, from my perspective, armed with knowledge from both my past life as a player and my current life, I can't see him in the same charitable light as in the game. There was certainly no game setting where Natsume, as a junior high first-year, ran for student body president and competed against Masaki. Yet here he is, running for student council president. According to game data, Masaki should "serve in the student council since junior high" and "as student council president." Although he lost last year's election, he should win this year if the data is correct. There's no mention that Natsume ever "competed for election against Masaki in junior high." This world has diverged from the game itself. Most of my game knowledge likely isn't a reliable resource now. Nevertheless, Natsume running for president is blatantly unusual. It's not just about him running; everything including the recent incidents connects to this. The resolution will definitely lie within the student council officer elections. "Kujou-san, can we talk?" "Oshikoji-sama..." And so, as I scrutinized the candidate list for the student council elections, Masaki approached me. A slight buzz rippled through the surroundings. A candidate for student council president talking to Sakuya Kujou, from the adversarial Five Families, was bound to stir curiosity. "Remember all those favors you owe me? Time to pay them back." "Understood." Having Natsume become student council president would be problematic for me. While it might be better for Masaki not to be closely associated with me, I need him to become the president this time, by any means necessary... Thank you for always reading.
