Tsumugi: Eichi-kun, you're grinning...

Did something good happen? Like — you made

up with your childhood friend? With Keito-kun?

Wow, I'm so glad! ♪

Eichi: We didn't exactly "make up", but we had

a conversation for the first time in a while and
settled a few things. You really do have to meet
up with each other face to face...

As it's said that everything will look suspicious if

you look at them with a doubtful mindset.

Anyhow, it looks like the student council is

picking up all the famous people in this school
right now and supporting them... rallying them
up.

Even I was told to lend a hand — "become a

member of the student council", they said.

Well, seizing power would be nothing but

convenient for me, so...

I'm thinking about accepting that request and

take up the title of some member of the student
council.

Tsumugi: Does our student council really have

that much authority? It just recently got
revived, so I'm not so sure what to say...

But right now, a nice way of saying it would be

calling them choremen, or subordinates, right?

Eichi: Student councils are basically like that

anyway. But they are representatives of the
students — appointed fairly by election, with
their positions secured by even the faculty.

Among students, they are the ones with the

most influence, and the most important thing is
how they use that — that's how it always is.

Being "subordinates" might make them sound

bad, but they hold the very foundation of how
the students will live.

They can even revise school regulations — as

far as I can see from the student council
elections, everybody is apathetic to politics.

If it goes well, any kind of evil law could be

passed. This is tremendous power.

It's comparable to holding the switch that can

fire an atomic bomb in your hand while
everybody else is solely armed with swords and
spears.

Tsumugi: ... your family doesn't have any

nuclear weapons in their possession, do they,
Eichi-kun?

Eichi: We have fighter aircrafts, at least. It's my

mother's hobby.

She believes that she's the reincarnation of

Marie Antoinette — letting her handle our
fortune is like giving a bomb to a child.

Well, let's leave it at that. It seems like Hasumi-

kun isn't getting along with our current student
council present.

He's trying to get him replaced, and

recommends me to be his replacement.

Tsumugi: Huh? Who is our president right now,

anyway?

Eichi: Sakuma Rei... -senpai. On paper, at least.

Weren't you friends with him? Did you not
know?

Tsumugi: Mm, I suppose we get along, I think?

He seems to be interested in me for some
reason, at least...

I'm more scared of him than anything,

considering he's the biggest celebrity in the
school.

Eichi: Mm hm. And with him as the head, we

want to pick up, let's see... five people who are
famous within this school.

We're going to gather them up and call them the

"Five Oddballs".

Tsumugi: Huh, that sounds like a good idea.

Right now, it's like everybody in this school is
acting however they please...

It's rather chaotic... full of disorder, you could

say.

It's like having people to represent us — having

the people who are to be focused on labeled
clearly. It sounds refreshing.

"Five Oddballs", huh... it sounds kind of

inhuman, though. Not something I'd like.

Eichi: (Indeed, I was aiming for that as well.

Naming imagery is quite important.)

(When the assessment of the great, respected

"Five Oddballs" get reversed... if they end up
getting called "monsters", it will be my victory.)

Tsumugi: But Rei-kun... ah, he might be older

than me, but he told me to call him using "-
kun".

He's such a big genius, but he's surprisingly

frank.

Eichi: I think it's arrogance from somebody of

power. But that part of him is also the reason
why he's loved by everybody, I suppose...

Anyhow, what is it about Sakuma-san?

Tsumugi: Ah, right. I'm just thinking how

difficult it'd be to find other famous people
who'd be equal to somebody like him.

Five people, right? Rei-kun's just so amazing,

others would be overshadowed... I don't think
there's anybody else in the third years.

Eichi: The year when our current third years

entered the school was quite the bad harvest, I
believe. But in exchange, the second years were
a record-breaking bumper crop, right?

Like Hibiki-kun ♪

Tsumugi: Ah, Hibiki Wataru-kun... I heard that

his results in his entrance exam were the
highest in Yumenosaki's history.

Others who'd stick out would be... Shinkai

Kanata-kun and Itsuki Shuu-kun, I'm sure.

Eichi: Ah, Shinkai-kun. He was rumoured to

have outperformed even Hibiki-kun in several
fields.

To be even better than Hibiki-kun — he must be

the peak of humanity.

Tsumugi: Eichi-kun, you really do regard

Hibiki-kun awfully highly, huh?

Eichi: I'm a big fan of his. Anyway, Itsuki-kun is

amazing too.

Once the idol unit Valkyrie was formed, they had

already made several appearances on TV, and
are rated greatly in the entertainment world.

Tsumugi: From the eyes of entertain world and

the teachers, Shuu-kun must be one of the very
best among the second years.

He's a little strange when you talk to him, but

other than that he's a normally good-natured
person.

Eichi: You've interacted with Itsuki-kun?

Tsumugi: We're in the same club. Although

recently, it... the handicrafts club has becoming
very much like a hangout for Valkyrie.

I don't really have a place to belong there,

which is why I'm always doing library committee
work here.

.:: tl notes/comments

tsumugi talking about five oddballs sounding inhuman —

originally, he is talking about how five oddballs (gokijin)
sounds like cockroach (gokiburi). eichi's line after that also
references to it, with "monsters" being "gokidomo" (a crude
way of saying cockroach, you could say)
