The Myriad Worlds Shuttle Starting from the Demonic Scum Chapter 5

Kudo Mitsunobu leaned forward, doing his best to avoid any physical contact with Saegusa Mayumi that might lead to a misunderstanding.

Furthermore, he felt that if they continued to stay this close, Saegusa Mayumi looked like she was about to explode from blushing!

Kudo Mitsunobu's movement caused the crimson flush on Saegusa Mayumi's face to gradually fade, and she returned to her usual poised and graceful demeanor.

"That was indeed the case initially."

Saegusa Mayumi twirled a lock of hair at her temple, playing with it between her fingertips.

"Initially?"

"Yes, but it seems the principal mentioned you, Mitsunobu-kun, during today's faculty meeting."

"You've changed how you address me again!"

Kudo Mitsunobu sighed inwardly, though he wasn't the type to dwell on such things; what mattered more now was hearing what Saegusa Mayumi had to say next.

"And then, with the unanimous agreement of the teachers, they granted you a spot in the Student Council!"

"Don't try to fool me, Senior."

"There were Ten Master Clans pulling strings behind this, weren't there?"

This time, Kudo Mitsunobu voiced his skepticism directly.

"Oh! You caught me!"

Saegusa Mayumi stuck out her tongue, feigning cuteness as she spoke.

"It was Jumonji-kun who went to talk to the principal about this! Of course, there was authorization from the clans behind it as well."

"Although the principal was hesitant at first, he agreed quite readily after seeing your entrance exam results!"

Although it was an unwritten rule, if there was a member of the Ten Master Clans in the same grade at a magic high school, they were required to be the freshman representative.

This was to maintain the status of the Ten Master Clans in the Japanese magic community; just as the third-year representative was Saegusa Mayumi, the current first-year representative at Third High School was Ichijo Masaki.

While Kudo Mitsunobu wasn't particularly interested in being the freshman representative, everyone had already assumed he would be the one for this year at First High School.

However, due to an unforeseen incident, he hadn't finished his exams, and the position of freshman representative had been taken by Shiba Miyuki, who was not from the Ten Master Clans. This had likely already become a topic of discussion among the Ten Master Clans.

"Then what about Principal Momoyama's conditions? Even with pressure from the clans, I don't think Principal Momoyama is the type to compromise so easily!"

Kudo Mitsunobu didn't believe that pressure from the clans alone could force Principal Momoyama to back down.

"Mitsunobu-kun, you really are sharp!"

Saegusa Mayumi praised him with admiration and continued.

"The principal hopes that you, Mitsunobu-kun, will showcase your abilities without reservation at the Nine Schools Competition and bring honor to First High School."

"Naturally, this is also a sentiment shared by the clans."

"To shut people's mouths, then!"

Kudo Mitsunobu showed no surprise; only by demonstrating his power when the time came could he silence those who questioned him for using back-door connections.

After all, the current Japanese magic community was already filled with dissatisfaction toward the Ten Master Clans who governed them. Even if they didn't dare to discuss it to their faces, they certainly did so in private.

The First High School principal and the clan council, who had changed the rules for his sake, would also be subjected to a new wave of public scrutiny.

"That goes without saying. I will naturally give it my all and secure the victory," Kudo Mitsunobu said without hesitation.

"That's good!"

"Then what position would I be taking in the Student Council? As far as I know, there aren't any vacant positions in the current Student Council, are there?"

"How about being my secretary?"

If there's work, the secretary does it; if there's no work, do the secretary.

For some reason, this phrase—which shouldn't exist in this era—flashed through Kudo Mitsunobu's mind. He quickly shook his head and looked at Saegusa Mayumi.

Saegusa Mayumi was covering her mouth and giggling.

"Senior, let's have fewer jokes like that!"

"There's no way such a position as secretary exists, and even if it did, I wouldn't do it."

Kudo Mitsunobu feigned annoyance as he looked at Saegusa Mayumi.

"Just a joke, just a joke," Saegusa Mayumi said, waving her hands to apologize.

"Actually, you are to take on the position of Vice President."

"Vice President?" Kudo Mitsunobu recalled.

"But I remember there should already be a Vice President in the Student Council! I recall it being the person who served as the emcee at the freshman orientation!"

Saegusa Mayumi extended a slender finger to lightly tap her lips, shifting her hips slightly while resting her other hand behind her.

Her snow-white school uniform skirt accentuated her beautiful curves, and she seemed to have forgotten her earlier shyness, unabashedly displaying her graceful figure to Kudo Mitsunobu.

"Regarding that, Jumonji-kun came to communicate with me before I arrived."

"As you know, we are all nearing graduation! Jumonji-kun also needs to select his successor for the head of the Federation of Clubs."

I will try my best to ensure a daily update of 4,000 words from now on, likely around noon each day.

Chapter 5: The Ambiguous Reference Room

"So, you want to transfer the current vice president to Jumonji-senpai's side?"

Kudo Mitsunobu took over the conversation from Saegusa Mayumi.

"Has the current vice president already agreed to this?"

"It's not entirely clear yet, but he should agree! After all, it is already impossible for Hanzo-kun to become the president of the student council."

"Because the position of the next president has already been decided to be handed over to Azusa," Saegusa Mayumi said with a light chuckle.

That petite upperclassman? Kudo Mitsunobu's mind conjured the image of the small, animal-like upperclassman he had just met that morning.

"Can she really handle the affairs of the student council? I feel like that upperclassman's personality is a bit too gentle!"
