Lucy's point of view:
After school.
The student council office was still far from quiet.
"Regarding next month's magic exchange event, the academy divisions have sent over their lists."
"What about the budget?"
"It has been recalculated. It's about eight percent higher than last year."
"Then cut some of the unnecessary decoration budget. Prioritize the exchange event itself."
I sat in the student council president's seat, reviewing documents while writing down revisions.
As I looked through the documents, I frowned.
"Karina."
"Yes, President."
"Tell me, what is this?"
I handed the document to Karina, and she began reading it after taking it.
"President, someone reported that the cafeteria's pudding has gotten smaller."
I looked up.
"Do you think this falls under the student council's responsibilities too?"
Karina fell silent for a moment, then turned toward the member responsible for approvals.
The approving member was a Beast Race girl, and she smiled.
"The person who reported it said the pudding used to be this big."
She gestured with her hands.
"Now it's only this big..."
The corner of my mouth twitched.
"Rejected. The student council will not handle things like this in the future."
"Okay... But, President, the pudding really..."
"It isn't the student council's responsibility. Understood?"
"Understood... meow..."
Honestly... Beast Race people really were all gluttons...
That reminded me of Windsor's lovers. Pursena was quite the glutton too.
Huh...
I spoke up.
"Are there any other issues?"
The student council members looked at one another.
Just as they were about to answer, someone suddenly knocked on the office door.
Knock knock.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open.
A younger student walked in nervously.
"President, there is something I need to inform you about."
"What is it?"
"Um..."
He hesitated slightly.
"Prince Edward has arrived."
The office instantly fell silent.
