When it came to my turn and I safely finished my greetings, as I was about to sit down, a number of people began applauding me.
Wai-, stop it!
I know that you girls don’t mean anything bad by this, but you’re not supposed to applaud!
Look! All the Externals look shocked! They’re looking at me thinking, ‘this chick’s dangerous‘!
I’m not, you knowww~ I’m not that scary a girl, you knowww~ I’m not a person that requires surveillance, you knowww~
After that, the teacher nominated the class reps. The girls in the class mentally prepared themselves a little, but it really turned out to be me again. Ehhh~? I wanted to spend this year without doing oddjobs though~ Like a real Pivione member.
There are other girls who seem capable of being class rep, so I was thinking that I’d refuse, but the teacher said stuff like ‘You won’t refuse, right? You’ll do it, right?‘ and pressured me with their eyes, so in the end I ended up accepting it. Ueehh~ It seems like a lotta work.
The one I was serving as class rep with was a boy who entered Suiran in the middle school section.
The other stuff like deciding on the class reps, deciding on the helpers in charge of various things, guiding people around the school and other HR stuff is going to be done tomorrow, so that was it for today, and the class dispersed.
In the end, I didn’t get to see Wakaba-chan today.
The Wakaba-chan in the manga was a lively girl, but I wonder what the real one is like.
But Wakaba-chan really coming to this school means that I can’t postpone the problem anymore.
Once I came home I repeated to Otousama, “Dishonesty is bad”. Otousama played dumb and said that he didn’t know what I was talking about, but please, just tell the truth.
The me as I am [with memories of a pleb] has not even a little intention of getting in the way of Wakaba-chan’s love, but if Otousama acts dishonestly, can’t somebody else report him?
Ahhhh, I’m making no progress with Otousama. You have to tell him off properly, Oniisama!

The next morning we began to officially determine who would be class reps, and helpers for various duties.
Speaking of which, last year Little Monk said “Enjou-kun recommended that Externals who weren’t used to the school yet, to the position of class reps and helpers.”, didn’t he? Should I try copying that?
But wouldn’t suddenly making them do it be too harsh? Maybe it’d be better to have them help out as something like unofficial reps.
Anyway, for now I tried saying “For those people who have just entered Suiran this year, please actively apply to positions as well, okay?” to try to get them interested.
Even so, there weren’t many Externals who raised their hands. Mm~mm, guess it can’t be helped?
In the end, we decided to choose focused on Internal Students, but let’s have the Externals slowly begin to participate from here on out.
After that was the tour inside the school. The teacher led the way, followed by the class reps, and after that followed the class in a line.
The school building of the high school section was proportionately larger to take into account the new students, and the equipment number increased as well, but everything was basically made the same as the middle school section’s. Because of that, we Internals were relatively relaxed as we were shown about, but the External kids were surprised and shocked at one thing after another. Well, that’s how it is~
The next place we went was the cafeteria. It’s wider than the one in the middle school section, huh! I wonder if the menu is more diverse than the middle school section.
Ah! Speaking of which, the cafeteria is where Wakaba-chan tried to sit in a Pivoine reserved seat, and ended up in trouble. What should I do? Maybe it’d be better to warn the External Students right now. But before that, we have to explain what the Pivoine are, and I’d have to openly state that the Pivoine have more privileges, too, huh. Could I get someone else to sneakily say it?
How did we do this in middle school again? It seemed like the External began to tacitly understand it at some point, but…
After that, we went to a bunch of other places, and just as we were about to approach the end of the tour, we finally visited the student council room.
“Ohhh! This time it’s your class, Kisshouin-san? Come in.”
Waiting inside the room were the members of the student council, starting with Tomoe-senpai, and they each introduced themselves.
“Kisshouin-san, even though you’re a Pivoine you’re acting as class rep again? You should just join the student council already.”
Said Tomoe-senpai with a cheerful smile.
“It is impossible for me.”
“I know, right? You’re a Pivoine after all. Ahh, by the way, you External kids, the Pivoine is the name of a group in Suiran that receives special privileges, okay? Ask the Internal kids for details. By the way, this red flower badge that Kisshouin-san is wearing is a symbol of membership, so be careful around people wearing this, okay?”
Tomoe-senpai, it’s fine and all for you to
