So I want to tidy up the pool.
But this is just a face-saving project.
Most students think so. After participating in voluntary labor, they can get certificates, which will be very helpful for future credits and so on.
So with this in mind, the participating students could obviously bring some carpentry tools to repair the swamp guardrail, but they didn't.
I just asked everyone to bring something that looked like a long bamboo pole that could be used for fishing with a net on the top to catch garbage.
As a newcomer, Ichinose also participated.
She is already an unofficial member of Student Council. As the representative of Student Council, she cannot be absent.
It's just that this pool is really a bit bad.
The pool was glowing with layers of green, and it was unclear how long it had been since it had been cleaned.
You can see around a dozen boys and girls using the big colanders used to clean lakes to get dirt out of the lake.
The lunch break is not very long, so I have to deal with it quickly.
Ichinose brought a bamboo pole, but her attention was half on the pool and half on the other two people.
They are Kaguya Shinomiya.
Then, the other one is classmate Oreki.
Classmate Oreki is looking at Kaguya Shinomiya in a daze. He is thinking.
What words will you use later to make it easier to deceive the other party?
Yes.
Although Kaguya Shinomiya is aloof and aloof.
But fellow student Oreki is thinking about how to deceive the other party.
He is an energy-saving person who saves effort and never wastes it.
So.
Oreki classmate is holding a bamboo pole and fishing for garbage just like other students.
Then he spoke softly, "Kaguya Shinomiya, what do you think would happen if someone fell down now?"
Fall down.
Did you fall into such a dirty pool?
"...?..."
Kaguya did not respond immediately.
She felt that classmate Oreki was not asking about such a hypothesis, nor was he asking about other things, but was asking.
If someone falls, who will save him?
It's not a question of whether we will save him or not.
Because there is no doubt about this, she feels that junior Oreki, who has the experience of protecting Kyoko Otomo, should be like her and would not let others drown like this.
"So, Oreki, if someone falls into the water, will you go down and save her?"
Kaguya asked rhetorically.
She felt that the atmosphere brought by the current junior Oreki to her was not right.
Oreki junior smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"I'm a landlubber."
Hmm.
There is this answer.
Why do you want to save a drowning person because you don't know how to Swimming? Are you desperate for your life?
"This answer is OK." Kaguya said, "Because you don't know how to Swimming, you are excluded."
"However, people are like this. They wait for others to bear the burden for them and never want to soil themselves."
"So, I probably won't go and save him."
"After all, I am a member of the Shinomiya Family. I have a high status and cannot take risks so easily."
"It's very common for people to be dragged down instead of trying to save them."
Kaguya explained.
Seems very rational.
But Junior Oreki shook his head slightly as he listened. "I don't think it's right."
"This is not what you mean. If something like this really happens, you will go down."
Classmate Oreki said, "Because your thinking is very similar to mine. My idea is to go out and save people. So the same goes for you. So, Kaguya Shinomiya, do you want to take a gamble?"
"If you choose to save people, you lose."
"Then... you drive Chika Fujiwara down, and you become Student Council President."
"..."
????
Grass!
Chika Fujiwara was originally next to Oreki. When he heard what he said, he almost wanted to poke the bamboo pole in his hand towards junior Oreki and stab him into Blood Swamp.
Because what nonsense is this guy talking about!
At first, she and classmate Kaguya speculated that this guy's abnormal behavior was that he wanted to be the next Student Council President.
result.
Now we want classmate Kaguya to be Student Council President?
Although.
Chika also thinks that classmate Kaguya is very capable and is definitely the most suitable person to be Student Council President. However, being Student Council President is so tiring.
Chika doesn't want to drag down classmate Kaguya.
"..." Kaguya Shinomiya. "Don't you want to become a student senior yourself?"
"I do have this idea," said junior Oreki. "But that was my initial idea, because later I discovered that becoming Student Council President requires a lot of procedures and the preparations are very troublesome, so I decided to give up this opportunity."
"Let Kaguya Shinomiya become Student Council President." Junior Oreki said.
"..." Kaguya."Completely unclear."
Because she couldn't find any advantage for junior Oreki after becoming Student Council President.
Can't understand the other person's thoughts.
Of course she couldn't understand that Oreki was just doing a task.
"I've already spoken out about the bet." Junior Oreki continued, "And Kaguya Shinomiya doesn't dare to accept the challenge?"
"..." Kaguya.
Kaguya Shinomiya stared at Houtarou Oreki with stern eyes, but she found that junior Oreki didn't flinch at all.
For her, Kaguya Shinomiya, Shinomiya Family people... it is necessary to maintain the honor of their own family.
Think about it a little.
Kaguya Shinomiya supported the elbow of his right hand with his left hand. He looked at classmate Oreki with a scrutinizing gaze, "Okay, then let's take a bet."
"Shinomiya Family people cannot retreat."
"But Oreki, junior fellow student, how do you want to continue this bet?"
"If I choose to save people, even if I lose, but no one wants me to save them, I'd rather say Oreki, junior fellow student..."
Kaguya paused.
"You are still too young." But Junior Oreki smiled softly. "It's very simple, I just jump down."
Haha.
Kaguya did not continue to respond to classmate Oreki.
She still couldn't believe that classmate Oreki was going to jump into the pool like this.
Even if Oreki classmate meets Swimming, if he jumps suddenly, there is still a 1% chance of drowning.
There is no need to put yourself in such a crisis.
"..." And Ichinose is paying attention to these two people.
She found that she was like a member of the public, her classmate Oreki was clearly right in front of her, but she hadn't said a word to her since class.
So why should we start by becoming friends?
Just.
Her mind was also attracted to the two of them.
Because.
She also thought about what she could do.
If someone is drowning.
Then she will probably save people.
But.
Just like what classmate Shinomiya said, Shinomiya is very important, and she herself as Ichinose Family is also very important.
So she didn't dare think about what she would do if something happened to her when she went to save someone.
She also became hesitant.
Just then.
"The bat's body is floating, it's so disgusting--"
"Ah... wait a minute, don't push me--"
Touch!
"Someone fell into the water!"
When Ichinose was thinking, it was really... someone had already fallen into the water.
Her companion tried to pass the bamboo pole over.
"Can I catch this one?"
"No, no... my body is hooked--ahem--"
Although the voice of the girl who fell into the water was loud, her body was really sinking.
Shuchiin Academy students require comprehensive development in all aspects, so there are very few landlubbers, and it can even be said that they are almost non-existent.
"You should jump down and save her."
"But with this swamp like this, I don't know if I will get sick--"
The students on the shore did not take immediate action.
All that showed was panic.
Chapter 347 Kaguya: Abdicate, Chika!
The students on the shore made no attempt to dive to save others.
This is what it is.
If the person jumps in and is not handled properly, the consequences will not be that the water is dirty and he will get sick, but in serious cases, the treatment will not be appropriate and it will lead to two people dying together or oneself dying after saving someone else.
But.
This is just an excuse for those who hesitate.
