Ludi POV
——————-
The official appointment ceremony for me to be a part of the public moral committee was completed after the afternoon class when the other students start returning to their home.
“Sorry about this Ludi, you must be surprised right?”
“I heard a little from Kousuke before but………yes, I am still surprised.”
It was as I heard about it from Kousuke. The three committees I thought were in conflict with each other are actually working harmoniously together. Furthermore, the Lord of the Shikibukai who I thought that he would be the most hated person is actually the best mood maker of the three committees.
Looking at the students who are heading back to their dorm, Sempai let out a sigh.
“The freshmen this year have it hard huh…..”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, it is. You have a guy who can solo the 40th floor and invited to join the three committees you know?”
I let out a dry laugh.
“that’s true.”
Fufu, Yukine-san laughs.
“Right, It’s like they got hit directly by a typhoon and stuck in a slump.”
He is probably going to start something again, she complained about it but it seems like she isn’t against it herself.
“Thanks to him, the atmosphere around the first year students is completely different than last year. And since he joined the Shikibukai so he will become even more of the center of attention than before too.”
Certainly, he will definitely become the center of attention. And in a bad way as well.
He is the one who thought that he himself is an inferior, he who is actually just an idiot inside, he who skipped the classes and rarely come to the academy, even so, he has accomplished something that even the students on advanced years can’t do, not to mention the first year.
And Kousuke who despite all that only said sorry that he has troubled us and treats everyone else jokingly.
That’s why the current evaluation from people who don’t know him is [An Ominous guy who has real ability]. His accomplishment of soloing the 40th floor has improved the opinion of him a little though.
However, because he joined the Shikibukai, the opinion of him that finally improved will be lower again. Moreover, he will have to do things that will get more people to start outrightly despise him from now on.
But Kousuke won’t care about it. I can say that with confidence.
It was the same when I was the source of that hatred. The petty rumors and slanders only serve as a tailwind that boosts him further. A normal person would be swept away by the flow, stumbling, stop advancing and start hiding away from it.
But Kousuke is different.
For him, something like that is just a gentle breeze. After Nanami joined him, he seemed to be enjoying the reactions of other students too.
Rather, he used that wind like a bird soaring through the sky. That’s the impression I have.
No, Kousuke is already flying high. He is the one who gave us the wings of possibility.
“He is amazing….Kousuke. I have to try harder too.”
“….I think that Ludi is amazing too you know.”
“Me too?”
“Comparing you to Takioto, I can’t help but think like that right?…… In the first place, you also joined the three committees yourself right, Ludi”
Saying so, Sempai takes a look at her Tsukuyomi Traveller.
“It’s time. Let’s head to the bulletin board. It’s about time for the announcement.”
I nod and start walking toward the bulletin board.
The students on their way back to their dorm stopped their feet to look at what is being announced at the bulletin board.
The three female students nearby look at it with their eyes wide, their mouth hanging open. Looking at the brooch on their uniform, they seem to be third-year students.
One of them mutters.
“It’s a joke right?”
“…I have never heard of someone being appointed so early before.”
They said such a thing while looking up at the bulletin board.
I took my eyes off them and look at the board.

“Wai, wait a minute.”
Suddenly, a woman shouted in surprise. In her hand is the Tsukuyomi Traveller, she flusteredly shook the shoulder of the female student next to her.
“Hey, look at Tsukuyomi Traveller.”
“What, it just the Shikibukai stuff right?”
“It is but that’s not it. Takioto….-kun….he is a member of that Hanamura house.”
When I heard her, I took out my own Tsukuyomi Traveller and read the breaking news that just came in.
Yukine-san also reading it by peeking from my side.
