The Villainess Becomes a Commoner

andsome-looking boys, so Kotone’s reputation will improve if she’s together with them, is what I think she said.

On the contrary, she was hated and her public image just dropped rapidly.
Though that was what Kotone was aiming for.

「I’m back.
Also, we’ve received assistance from the principal.」
「Excuse me.
My name is Kisaragi Kotone.
It’s a pleasure to be working with you.」

Still, the student council room is pretty big.
It’s about as big as a classroom, with tables, PCs, and a massage chair for some reason.
Other than that, they have a fridge, a coffee maker, and enough equipment to just live here.
However, the mess on the table reminds me of my old work.

And in the innermost part of the room, scanning through the documents on his table, this person noticed Kishita’s entrance.
Yup, another handsome boy.
And contrary to my expectations, he greeted us with a soft smile.

「Oh, an unexpected visitor.
And referred by the principal to the boot.
I suppose the information can be trusted then.」
「Please don’t believe the information about me being manly.」

Following Kishita, I sat on the empty chair she led me to.
I don’t know who’s seat it is but based on the papers with numbers scattered around here and there, it’s likely the accountant’s seat.
Another troublesome place.

「I’ve heard a lot of things other than that.
Besides, not a single appeal against the Udzuki family despite being pushed off a flight of stairs? I can’t imagine the former you doing that.」
「Not worth the trouble.」

After being beaten up that much, I have the material to one-sidedly attack the Udzuki family.
But using that won’t really make a lot of difference.
As for me, I don’t want to do something that would cause animosity.
After all, it’s troublesome.

「I’m impressed that you can get over it with that.
After all, despite all that’s been done to you, you still forgive them in the end.」
「Do you really think that?」

The stealing, the breaking, and the injuries.
There’s no way I would forgive that.
Even if she apologizes the next time we meet, I have no intention of forgiving her.
To begin with, if I accept that proud lady’s apology, it’ll likely just go to her head again.
In truth, I do want to slap her at least once.
I want to but I won’t.
After that will be annoying after all.

「She is an enemy.」
「Hmph, so it’s not as if you’re completely fine with it.
Then, how about the things you’ve done to us? 」
「I apologize for all the trouble I’ve caused.
If you don’t want me to be in this place, then tell me and I will abide.」
「I won’t, so just help us out with the workload.
We’re really struggling with the lack of people, you see?」

I can’t read him, I absolutely can’t read how the president plans on treating me.
It’s not like he’s forgotten about last year, he has some issues with me but he’s still giving me normal student council work.

He should find me unpleasant, but he still accepts.
Still, maybe it’s just because they need all the help they can get.

「For now, we’re currently working on the budget for the clubs.
With the previous year’s expenditure as a reference, we’re compiling the budget projections from the clubs.
I want you to help out with the compiling as well.」
「Is it alright to assign an outsider for this?」
「You don’t belong to any of the clubs.
Besides, you were recommended by the principal, so there shouldn’t be any issues.」

The trust in the principal is pretty high.
And mine is low.
Still, so they do these sorts of stuff at this time of the year? I imagined that these would be done immediately after new students arrive but I guess I’m wrong.
Since the club trial period lasts as long as a month, it seems that the budget setting starts roughly during this time of the year and is finished in mid-May.
Hearing that, I suppose this time of the year is when they’re at their busiest.

「May I use the PC?」
「Rather, you won’t have any work done if you don’t.
Come to think of it, you don’t know the password.
Kaori.」
「Understood.」
