I Transmigrated as a Villainess but I’m the Only One Playing a Yuri Game Author: Hira Asomi Previous Table of Contents Next 609/1418 Chapter 607: "Election Commotion" Azami finally found a group she could be content with. After ensuring she joined the small-item arrangement team, I continued with the remaining tasks. The silver clay that I had left to Renka and the others was dry, so I removed it from the core rod, shaped it with a file, and polished it with a sponge. I left the firing process to them again, and while waiting, worked on other creations. Once they were fired, I polished and finished them. Every day couldn't be solely dedicated to preparing for the cultural festival, so I had to skillfully manage the designated prep time and regular class hours. Like with resin, drying time is crucial, so managing time well and planning the creations was key. Even at home, I worked on embroidery, knitting, making accessories with silver clay, and experimenting with small-item arrangements. Before I knew it, the week had flown by. Of course, alongside preparing for the festival, I stood in as a supporter during Masaki's morning, noon, and after-school campaign speeches, also actively preparing for the student council election. Moving around that much made the days fly by, and it was already Friday morning. "Good day, everyone. In today's student council election, please vote for Oshiokouji Masaki. Oshiokouji-sama has consistently participated actively in school events through volunteer work..." It was the stereotypical 'last plea' moment. After this, there will be a final speech by the candidates at the school assembly, followed by the voting. This is where things might take a significant turn. Well... if the opposition does nothing, we won’t stir anything up either. But if they want to raise an issue about the ongoing commotion, we'll just turn the tables on them. After finishing the final street speech in the morning, we returned to the classroom and then moved to the auditorium for the final speeches by the candidates. Honestly, my estimation of whether Masaki could win was fifty-fifty. The election outcome hinged on whether people viewed my connection with him, as a Gohoku group leader, positively or negatively. That's how I saw it. "Whee-ssu! I'm Namba Natsume from first-year, class two! I'm running for student council president this time! Please support me~!" That was light... Wait, wasn't Natsume a bit of a casual playboy in the game 'Blossoms of Love,' but not this much, right? Huh? Seriously, who would even think of entrusting someone like this with the student council president role with a speech like that? The Namba family is part of the Ichijo family retainers and supports the Ichijo faction. This candidacy must be an order from the Ichijo family. Yet there is no sense of seriousness. If Natsume actually wins like this, it would be a shame for the other candidates. If he wins, it could only be considered a fraudulent election. No matter how many votes Natsume might get from the Ichijo faction and its followers, I can't imagine others from different factions casting their votes for him after that attitude. Is the Ichijo family not seriously trying to get Natsume into the student council? ...No, wait? Could it be that the Ichijo family is sincere in wanting Natsume in the student council, but Natsume doesn’t want to become president? No... that doesn't make sense, does it? If a faction leader gives an order, and he defies it with such a ludicrous attitude and doesn't get elected, a family like the Ichijo could really crush the Namba family. Maybe the other Gohoku families wouldn’t go that far, but the Ichijo would easily destroy a faction's family if they felt even slightly dissatisfied or opposed. The Namba family, being part of the Ichijo faction, should understand this quite well, and risking their family's downfall by defying the head family's order to that extent is unbelievable. What's going on? This deviates so much from my expectations that I'm completely confused. "Student council presidential candidate, second-year, class one, Oshiokouji Masaki. Invest everything in me silently! That's all!" Oi, Masaki~~~! Are you an idiot? You are, right? Despite Natsume giving such a lackluster speech, are you competing with him in foolishness? That must be it, right? Otherwise, you're genuinely an idiot, aren’t you? Even after setting everything up, making the groundwork, and constantly telling him to secure as much support as possible... yet just like last year, he ruins everything with this final speech. I give up... if he loses this time, it's his own fault. There’s no cure for stupidity. While I fumed at Masaki’s sheer foolishness, all the candidates' speeches wrapped up before I knew it. We then headed back to the classroom to vote... "Please wait a moment!" "......" As the teachers were about to wrap up the school assembly and start dismissing the students, someone interrupted using another microphone. The teachers were visibly surprised by this unexpected interference. Hmm... so they're making their move here... Yamada Yoshio, the vice president of the student council... "Everyone, listen! You all know that it is Kujou Sakuya supporting Oshiokouji Masaki for the student council president!" The sudden announcement by the vice president made the students buzz. The teachers seemed uncertain about whether to intervene, exchanging glances and whispering among themselves, but none actually stepped in. "That Kujou Sakuya has kidnapped my brother!" "What...?" "Kujou-sama kidnapped the vice president’s brother?" "What does that mean?" Hmm... So it’s about that after all. Considering the Sato president and Yamada vice president's connection, there really isn’t anything else it could be. It's rather surprising it hadn’t become a police matter by now. "In order to install Gohoku’s puppet as the student council president in this election, they abducted my brother to hinder the election activities!" "..." Upon hearing Vice President Yamada’s words, the atmosphere among the students shifted. Yes... into apathy... “Isn’t there something terribly forced about this story?” Taking a clandestinely procured microphone, I spoke to the entire student body through the PA system. But honestly, I didn’t need to say this as they must have already figured it out. “For one, Vice President Yamada is a third-year and is not in this election. How would kidnapping the vice president’s brother even relate to this current student council election?” “That’s true, isn’t it?” “Yeah, I thought something sounded off from the start, but hearing it laid out really makes it clear.” The surrounding reactions mirrored mine. If it were a case where a rival candidate's family was kidnapped and held hostage, that might still make some sense. Forcing someone to withdraw from the election or to intentionally lose could be a reason for threats. However, kidnapping Yamada Yoshio’s brother, who is a third-year and not even eligible to participate in the election, would have no bearing on election outcomes. Given this logical flaw, the claim that Masaki's supporters kidnapped Yamada's brother for election purposes doesn’t hold up. Well... it’s true that we did end up taking Yamada Yoshio’s brother under our care, but still. "They kidnapped my brother to threaten the current student council and ensure their puppet would control it! They planned to use the votes from the Kujou faction to make their puppet win and then intimidate future council members by making an example out of me!" Hmm... Yamada, isn’t that a bit too far-fetched? Well, we do have your brother with us, that's true. "Is that so... If you insist on such claims, let's have him speak for himself." "...What?" "Eh?" When I said this, Yamada Yoshio’s brother, Yamada Kazuo, was escorted into the auditorium by the men in black. Both Yamada Yoshio and the other students stared in disbelief. "This is Kazuo Yamada, the brother of Vice President Yoshio Yamada. Vice President, is there no mistake about him being your brother?" "...There’s a mistake! I don't know this person!" Oh, are you trying to feign ignorance now that things look bad? But that's impossible. "Yoshio! Because of you, I'm in this mess! Don't think you can deny it now! I'm Kazuo Yamada, Yoshio’s brother! I've even met some friends from this school who have visited our home!" The students started buzzing even more. Friends of Yoshio seemed to recognize his brother from previous encounters at their house, confirming the identity. "At Yoshio’s request, I shot Kujou Sakuya-sama with a modified gas gun during the relay to disrupt the sports festival! After that, I was captured by Kujou's security and questioned! They offered protection because I feared what Yoshio might do to me!" "What!?" I had hoped to keep the shooting incident under wraps, but since they’ve brought it up, revealing it was necessary to mount a proper defense. We treated Kazuo hospitably at the Kujou estate and advised him, out of sheer concern, to consider how Yoshio might react should he return home after a failed attempt. "I was set up by my brother... Yoshio said it was just a warning, that it wouldn't cause any real harm even if it hit, and he begged me for help. But that wasn’t the case! Yoshio wanted to claim that he reformed the student council as a stepping-stone to the upper secondary school!" "No! Stop it!" Yoshio descended from the stage and tried to approach Kazuo, but the sturdy men in black prevented him from getting anywhere near. "Everyone, look! Yoshio used me and didn’t even try to help when I was caught by the Kujou family! Now, he wants to silence his brother to avoid any inconvenient truths coming out!" "......" "This... isn’t... Wait! Evidence! If you’re going to slander me like this, at least show some evidence..." "We have it. Roll the footage." "...What?" At my cue, scenes started playing on the auditorium screen. The first clip was from the sports festival, showing the moment I was shot. It zoomed in and replayed in slow motion why I had staggered awkwardly. Then it showed the security personnel storming the adjacent building and Kazuo being restrained. It followed with the interrogation and his confession. "What does this prove... This is a self-staged act by my brother and this...!" "Don’t worry, there's more." The footage continued, cutting to scenes inside the student council room. Present were the current student council members. The initial conversation was about the sports festival, aiming to showcase reforms the current council purportedly executed. Despite acknowledging risks associated with the changes, they ultimately pushed them through just to claim they had reformed something without sufficient debate. The next segment turned the discussion to the balance beam accident. The ensuing discussion was filled with worry about personal accountability and its possible impact on grades or future opportunities, rather than addressing the accident itself. It was more of a blame-shifting exercise. The resulting conclusion was to pin the blame on someone else. Even if they’re still middle school students, this interaction displayed a rotten core. The final scenes depicted post-meeting discussions after confrontations with me and outraged parents. Here, they expressed grievances about Kujou Sakuya and Gohoku group taking over student council events. This spiraled into plotting to sabotage the sports festival and tarnish Kujou Sakuya and the Gohoku group’s reputation. Yamada Yoshio revealed his brother owned modified air guns and discussed disruptive antics, planning to shoot me to frighten me on the event day. All details about the sports festival changes, the accident's cause, the subsequent cover-up, and direct actions like the modified gas gun attack were laid bare before the entire student body. "Arrest those involved in this incident." "No, wait... Help! It’s not what it seems!" "Stop it! Let go!" "No! Noooo!" At my command, the men in black apprehended the current student council members. Ideally, I’d report these crimes to the police, but they'd neither arrest nor charge them. They'd dismiss it as kids’ antics or say it doesn’t constitute an offense since no harm befell me due to my evasive action. Authorities help the powerful and oppress the weak. They flee when faced with yakuza or gangs but fabricate crimes from nothing to make criminals out of ordinary, cooperative citizens. Arresting children doesn’t result in charges, and public backlash would be harsh. Thus, they often refuse involvement, suggesting 'settle it among yourselves' due to a lack of actual victimization or crime establishment. If evading the knife meant the assailant wasn't culpable, then aren't they essentially saying they'd only start investigating upon my demise? That's how useless the police are; no, they only exacerbate matters unnecessarily. "Alright everyone, let’s return to our classrooms and proceed with the voting." The students filed out of the auditorium, still looking bewildered by everything that had unfolded. However, this incident was far from over. The matters concerning the Inada family, the Matsumoto family, and the Ichijo family have yet to be resolved. Though Natsume seems somewhat unmotivated, the actions of the Ichijo faction remain to be seen. I can't consider this situation settled until assessing their moves.
